Chapter 46: Chapter 46: New Equipment, Combat Power Soars! (Additional Chapter for Deacon "Qi Ling")

"Ah, I’m alive again, finally alive again, with water and food, it’s wonderful!"

"Haha, now everyone has water, I wonder if the greedy merchant will still sell water or not!"

"Newbie here, can someone tell me who’s the water seller in your group?"

"Haha, in a group of ten thousand people, it’s inevitable some don’t know the big shots. Let me introduce you, the biggest big shot here is Lin Yue, @Lin Yue."

"Lin Yue? That’s hilarious, how many survival points does he have? We have big shots here too, come on Drake, show him how it’s done! @Drake."

"1095 points, I don’t know how awesome Drake is, but in front of Lin Yue, he’s just a nobody."

"What! Impossible! No way! Who can score four digits in survival points? Cheating, huh?"

"Four digits? Are you kidding? Do everyone in this group loves bragging? It’s already dark out there. (◔‸◔)"

"I get it, probably there are lots of people inside his shelter? Maybe dozens!"

"The one above, just one person. Are you convinced?"

"Damn, seriously? One person with 1095 points? I don’t accept this!"

"Watch out, five days left, I’ll show Lin Yue what a real big shot is! He’s just lucky."

"I barely got first place in the previous group, and you made me lose so thoroughly, damn it! @Lin Yue."

...

The group chat was bustling with activity, while Lin Yue was eating, he searched through the conversations for useful information, picking the essence and discarding the rest.

But he realized it seemed futile, as those who had things to do didn’t like chat groups much, and those who were there were mostly people unwilling to remain lonely.

Moreover, it seemed the elders and children hadn’t started adapting to this system, most were the same as before, with only a small portion of student types joining the chat.

Lin Yue also noticed the group chat seemed to have a new function, now you could @ people, which wasn’t possible before.

Would it be possible to send pictures or gifs in the future?

On the contrary, Lin Yue saw someone already using emoji symbols, perhaps big facial expression art would appear in the future.

After eating the last bite of meat, Lin Yue opened the crafting panel.

Using the previously acquired designs for the wooden armor and wooden shield, their quality reached ’fine’, so Lin Yue decided to craft them first and arm himself.

[You lost 4x Wood, 1x Iron Block, 3 survival points]

[You obtained 1x Fine Wooden Armor]

[You lost 2x Wood, 1x Iron Block, 3 survival points]

[You obtained 1x Fine Wooden Shield]

Indeed, crafting now requires paying survival points, just as the system notification mentioned.

Moreover, other than crafting, Lin Yue also needed to spend survival points for trading.

As for "identification," he hadn’t tried it yet.

Could it be a new function?

Looking down, two brand-new pieces of armor were emitting unfamiliar gleams.

The wooden shield evolved from the previous small circular shield of about 40 cm in diameter into a rectangular shield, almost one meter long and half a meter wide, with an inner layer almost completely covered with iron.

The shield was crisscrossed with long iron strips forming a cross, with three sharp studs embedded on the top.

The inside featured two sturdy handles, allowing it to be worn on the arm with convenience.

Though thicker than before, it wasn’t as heavy as imagined.

Picking it up, Lin Yue found he could handle it with one arm without much effort.

Looking at his slightly more muscular arms, he felt quite sentimental.

Then he turned his gaze to the wooden armor, similar in design to the wooden shield, with crossed iron strips on the outside and a thin iron plate on the back, fitting well and being much sturdier than before.

Lin Yue decided it wasn’t enough, so he immediately crafted an Iron Helmet, which was exchanged for using instant noodle designs.

[You lost 3x Iron Block, 2 survival points]

Never mind, I have plenty of survival points!

Lin Yue placed the helmet, resembling those worn by ancient generals, on his head and found it was a perfect fit.

Fully equipped, Lin Yue held the Fine Iron Spear in his right hand, feeling instantly ready for battle.

"Chirpy! Chirpy chirpy!" Bai dashed over from the other room, circling Lin Yue while chirping, seeming to praise him.

This little guy had already adapted to his new body through constant failure and retries while Lin Yue was eating and monitoring the screen, now able to run vigorously with strong hind legs within the shelter.

Lin Yue also found that the ability mentioned by the system seemed controlled by Bai itself, as he could see the difference between when Bai used or didn’t use the ability.

"Haha, looks like you like it too. How about I custom-make a set for you when my crafting skills improve?" Lin Yue patted its little head, now able to do so by slightly bending down instead of squatting.

He checked the Storage Space again.

After upgrading to a 4 cubic meter Storage Space, the convenience of the 40-slot inventory was greatly reduced.

It could barely hold anything, so Lin Yue tried to reduce water to 4 bottles, and food only consisted of mutant lamb meat.

Even so, there’s not much that can be further stuffed inside.

This appeared to be the system seemingly providing convenience to survivors, but it actually imposed significant limitations.

Of course, various materials couldn’t be carried either, so Lin Yue piled them up in the Shelter to the brim.

To bring things from the Secret Realm, Lin Yue had to minimize wasted space.

That’s right, this time Lin Yue wasn’t going out to mess with those mutant creatures, but planned to directly head to the Secret Realm!

Just fighting mutant creatures wasn’t wise; finding something advanced from the Secret Realm—some location on Earth that had possibly undergone years to tens of years of changes—to outstrip the current almost primitive society was also a shortcut for him to become stronger!

Especially since having made a generator, he was eager to find a light bulb or something similar to use lamps instead of fire for lighting.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yue looked at Bai: "Ready, Bai?"

"Chirpy! Chirpy chirpy!" Bai responded energetically and with great excitement.

"Haha, let’s see how much stronger you’ve become later!"

"Chirpy!" Bai suddenly turned its head, rushing towards the Shelter window, calling out with alertness.

However, it was too heavy to climb high enough.

"There’s an enemy outside?" Lin Yue walked to the window and looked outside.

Two mutant creatures with tiger-stripe patterns but deer heads somehow had already approached the Shelter.

Moreover, they were only about forty to fifty meters away!

Good gracious, enemies delivered themselves!

Lin Yue recognized them as the mutant "tiger-striped shadow deer" he had once taken down the day before the blizzard!

"Bai, now we can test our combat power. Ready?"

"Chirpy!"
