Global Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter-Chapter 57 This won’t do, we have to...

The scorching sun was high in the sky, and Lin Yue was full of energy as he worked with the Soilless Cultivation Kit.

The Soilless Cultivation Kit covered fifty square meters, actually quite large, and came with a considerable amount of nutrient solution, spiral tubes, and sponges, among other things.

Taking them out of the plastic bags one by one, then assembling and configuring them, took quite a bit of time.

Fortunately, this thing mainly requires a lot of water; afterward, not much needs to be done.

"One unit requires two liters of water; one unit is one square meter and can be used for twenty days... Goodness, is a hundred liters of water for twenty days feasible?"

Even if he used all the water he had, it still was not enough.

However, thinking of the generous return this thing would provide later, it was not a big deal.

Moreover, water was rather easy for him to obtain.

As long as he wasn’t bothered by the trouble of killing bugs.

Lin Yue scattered the leek seeds, along with the radish and bok choy seeds, onto the cultivation trays, and he looked at the expansive ground, focusing his gaze on the small greenhouse made of plastic, which he had never used.

Since he was going to start planting, he might as well do it all at once, otherwise who knows when he’d get around to it again.

Lin Yue also had procrastination, but he didn’t want procrastination to put him at a disadvantage later on.

Furthermore, tonight in the midnight hours, another disaster forecast would be released.

If by then he was scrambling to prepare for the second disaster, it would be too late to get many things ready.

Lin Yue chose a simple plastic greenhouse, and soon the system delivered a notification sound.

[Plastic Greenhouse (Small), Area: 8X30 meters, Please select a location, areas where construction is impossible will be marked in red]

Hmm? This seems a bit more advanced than before?

Lin Yue selected and quickly found a spot without any red markings.

He also realized that areas that were not quite level would be marked red by the system. Too high or too low affected the greenhouse’s construction.

[You have established a Plastic Greenhouse (Small)]

With the system’s reminder, a thirty-meter-long and eight-meter-wide plastic greenhouse quickly appeared before Lin Yue’s eyes!

The greenhouse had a metal structure, and the plastic film was quite transparent. Upon entering, Lin Yue immediately felt a wave of sweltering heat rush upon him.

The greenhouse was about three meters high, with excellent transparency, and the temperature inside was indeed quite hot and humid. Lin Yue couldn’t tolerate it for long; he stayed only a little while before quickly leaving.

However, this temperature was quite suitable for cultivating crops.

So, what should he plant, and how should he plant it?

Clearing a piece of land directly on this desert was not a very good option, Lin Yue thought.

The snow walls from the previous snow disaster had all melted, and the snow water had been absorbed into the arid soil.

That snow water had certain corrosive properties; Lin Yue had experienced this himself, and those whose avatars had turned gray had proven the terrifying nature of such melted water with their lives.

He wasn’t foolish enough to plant vegetables in the soil here.

Vegetables need to root down to absorb trace elements from the soil, and if he ended up eating vegetables grown in this soil...

Lin Yue felt that this approach was not workable.

"Looks like I need to change the soil in the greenhouse; either construct large wooden troughs or find plastic sheets, lay them on the existing soil and dig holes..."

He thought about it; the second method was not worth pursuing, as digging holes and finding plastic sheets would be too troublesome and laborious.

Lin Yue crafted a large number of wooden boards with timber, then used an iron saw to cut them to suitable sizes, connecting them with nails using a hammer...

[You have obtained a Wooden Planting Box design blueprint]

Indeed, he had to take advantage of the system’s convenience and find some shortcuts.

Otherwise, working blindly would only tire him out.

[Wooden Planting Box: Timber X2, Iron Block X1]

Timber and iron blocks were readily available; Lin Yue immediately started crafting.

The Wooden Planting Box he made was indeed better looking, more attractive, and sturdier than the one he made himself, each being about half a meter long and wide, and roughly half a meter high.

After making fifty of them outside, Lin Yue placed them one by one inside the greenhouse, yet even after all were arranged, the inside of the greenhouse still felt quite empty.

However, the journey was step-by-step, and Lin Yue had no capability to immediately achieve everything.

Bringing over the two bags of 30L nutrient soil obtained earlier, Lin Yue emptied one bag into the boxes.

Hmm? Why... so little?

Pouring the second bag, there still seemed to be a shortage?

After a simple calculation, Lin Yue slapped his forehead.

Good grief, the volume formula for a rectangular prism is length X width X height, and these planting boxes would require 125 liters of soil to fill!

No wonder the soil piled up to only halfway.

So where can he obtain more nutrient soil?

Survival Points Mall!

[Humus Nutrient Soil 100L: 100 survival points]

Not cheap...

What about the trading mall?

Browsing around, he found that someone was indeed selling.

[Seller: Cork Brown]

[For Sale: Humus Nutrient Soil 50L in three bags]

[Required: Design blueprint or others]

[Seller’s Note: This stuff grows vegetables! You guys wouldn’t not know, right?]

Oh, isn’t this Cork "Self-Strategy" Brown, the familiar second place on the leaderboard?

Lin Yue immediately initiated a private chat with him.

"Do you need water or food?"

The reply came almost instantly.

"Lin! I don’t lack water or food; what I lack is...you know, that red thing that makes people feel blissful."

Lin Yue understood perfectly.

Offered 100 milliliters of wine.

"Oh, my favorite! But this is a bit too little, Lin."

"Oh."

Without much hesitation, Lin Yue closed the system panel.

Go ahead with your self-strategy, sir.

"Pooji?" Bai noticed the smile on Lin Yue’s face, not knowing what had happened. It had just hopped onto the stone wall, climbing around joyfully, seemingly tirelessly navigating a full circle.

"Bai, watch the house; I’m off to snag some good stuff first."

The good stuff Lin Yue wanted was naturally the Wooden Treasure Chest.

Since he had decided to farm, he had to pay more attention to farming and get more water.

Quickly, he began his hunting mode in the nearby area.

Time flew by during this process.

Unable to go to the Secret Realm, Lin Yue focused all his thoughts on hunting.

And...

"The 72nd chest already? It seems these mutant creatures really are quite a lot." After obtaining a large amount of water and food, Lin Yue opened a bottle of purified water and twisted the cap.

The cool water flowed down his throat, providing ample refreshment.

In this moment of rest, Cork Brown had already completed his self-strategy.

[You lost 100 milliliters of wine]

[You gained 50 liters of humus nutrient soil X3]

And as Lin Yue browsed the trading mall again, he suddenly saw that someone was selling something he had always wanted!

"What’s going on? Did they find it or did it come from Secret Realm..."
