Global Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter-Chapter 41: Entering a New Era!

"System upgrade? 24 hours later?"

Lin Yue frowned slightly, feeling a bit puzzled.

Is there really an upgrade?

And why choose at the end of a disaster?

With questions in mind, Lin Yue opened the announcement panel and found that besides a "Current disaster: Snowstorm, time until end: 23 hours 58 minutes 56 seconds" notice, there was indeed a "System upgrade countdown" alert.

But other than that, there was nothing at all.

milliliters of water traded for Cork Brown’s "Exquisite Wooden Bed" blueprint.

Lin Yue wanted to know how exquisite, how comfortable this thing would be! freewebnoveℓ.com

He kept staring intently at all the things Cork Brown made while watching his videos.

Especially that exquisite wooden bed, which looked much better than his own shabby wooden bed, made him quite envious.

Initially, this shabby wooden bed was quite tolerable, better than sleeping on the ground.

But it was too hard, lying on it for too long caused back pain.

Now that living standards have improved in all aspects, not upgrading this bed would be unjustifiable.

Using the "Exquisite Wooden Bed" blueprint, Lin Yue quickly spent 6 pieces of wood and 2 iron blocks to make a new bed.

The four corners and the bed frame of the new bed were replaced with solid metal, and the planks were smoother and more even than before.

Lin Yue lay down instantly and found it much more comfortable than before.

milliliters of water for this was definitely worth it.

After laying a mat on it, Lin Yue opened the stone door and took out a small wooden bucket from a snow pile outside, and after bringing it back, he split it open with an axe.

A large chunk of ice immediately appeared on the table.

Bai’s eyes lit up, just about to jump and enjoy it, but Lin Yue stopped him.

"Look, this is your half, and this is my half, no snatching!"

Lin Yue took out a hammer and broke the large piece of ice into one small and one large piece, then handed the small one to Bai.

He broke the larger piece into several smaller ones and put them in a few glasses.

It was too hot; he couldn’t help but find a way to cool down.

And these ice cubes were Lin Yue’s favorite quick cooling method, at the cost of just some water and the price of one wooden bucket, allowing him to stay cool for a long time.

He put a tea bag into the glasses and poured in mineral water.

The room temperature was still too high, and the ice was melting visibly.

Lin Yue went directly to the basement before the iced tea was ready.

The temperature here was not as high as upstairs, making it quite comfortable to stay in.

Sitting by the bed, he reopened the trading panel, focusing intently on the items listed.

He had woken up too late today, and now past midnight, he wasn’t very tired, and even if he was, he’d want to stay up a bit longer.

After all, now was the best time to "buy at a low price"!

The system’s short video playback, while indeed exposing some of his current states and even leaking secrets he intended to keep hidden.

Yet, it also brought him a lot of popularity.

It could be said that now, at least in this group, he had become "widely known."

Moreover, everyone knew he was doing quite well, lacking in little, and had initially established himself as a "merchant" with abundant water resources.

So, almost everyone in the group was frantically direct messaging him, discussing him in the group constantly.

They relentlessly inquired, questioned, and tempted Lin Yue to get what they wanted, doing whatever it takes, even forcing him to clear unread messages once every few minutes, quickly adding up to 9999!

It could be said that everyone in the group knew he lacked almost nothing.

Therefore, in their quest for food and water, they were almost willing to give up everything to get some water from Lin Yue.

Although after the disaster ends, those who hadn’t come out before, such as the elderly, children, and immobile people, would come and bring enough water for three days per person.

It sounded quite promising.

But the downside was that their food and water had to be shared with the current Survivor.

With the increase in people, water consumption would also rise, and after the three days of water ran out, the Survivalists with families were bound to face an extreme crisis.

They had to consider not just their water and food for survival but their families’ too!

And this prolonged the time Lin Yue would continue his water-selling business.

It also allowed him to find those things he’d always wanted but hadn’t yet seen on the trading panel.

By now, those who could still survive weren’t fools; they all understood this.

So, even Belger and Cork Brown, whom Lin Yue had always pressured on price, ended up bringing out the stuff they had always kept hidden.

"Let me see if there’s something... there is!"

After searching for "terminal connectors" this time, Lin Yue didn’t end up empty-handed like before.

[Seller: Sander Puri]

[Product: Terminal Connector X1]

[Requirement: 500ML Drinking Water]

[Seller’s Note: I don’t know what this is either, but it must be important?]

Lin Yue almost bought it immediately without thinking!

Of course, it was important.

This was the last piece of the generator puzzle!

After losing 500 milliliters of water and receiving Sander’s thousand thanks along with the terminal connector, Lin Yue took it from his inventory.

It looked exactly as he remembered.

After taking the stator, rotor, end cover, and bearings from the inventory, Lin Yue connected them with the terminal connector.

Next up was the breathtaking moment!

At least within this group, the first generator was about to be born!

[You obtained the Simple Generator blueprint!]

The system indeed acknowledged it!

Even if many parts were missing, as long as the main necessary components were assembled together, the system would recognize it as a complete equation and provide the blueprint.

Lin Yue quickly used it.

[Simple Hand-Crank Generator: Stator X1, Rotor X1, End Cover X1, Bearing X1, Terminal Connector X1, Iron Block X2, Copper Ingot X5, Bundle of Wire]

Wow, it required quite a few things.

However, he happened to have all of them.

After gathering these from the basement’s inventory, a small hand-crank generator quickly appeared before him!

The generator, though old-fashioned in style, held a certain indescribable beauty and charm.

Lin Yue couldn’t keep his hands off the brand-new machine on the ground.

Having a generator marked the beginning of the electrical era for his Shelter!

"Squeak?"

At that moment, Bai bounded downstairs, curiously gazing at the new peculiar machine before his owner Lin Yue.

"Hungry? Let’s have some barbecue to celebrate!"

Lin Yue put the generator back into the inventory and climbed the stairs with Bai.

With a generator, what he needed next was something that could reliably bring light to humanity, even at night.

And to find that thing, he must venture into the Secret Realm!

Less than 24 hours until he could explore the Secret Realm!
