[Scanning host’s survival environment. Survival points evaluation in progress. 88 points gained today.]

…

Total calculation: +588 points!

Survival points remaining: 599 points!

“Yes! Awesome! My goodness, I earned almost 600 points in one go! Sure enough, going out to explore was the right way to utilize the system!”

When he looked at the system notifications that were sent to him at 8 in the morning, Su Mo was surprised.

Before he slept last night, he was worried that he only had 11 survival points remaining.

Unexpectedly, when morning came, the system gave out so many of them that it completely relieved the pressure of lacking survival points.

Su Mo’s mind was raced rapidly as he opened the dead main’s personal chat channel, writing down row by row:

“Today’s the eighth day in the wasteland! My progress has been relatively fast. Who would have thought that I would become someone who owned a vehicle in Doomsday!”

“Hahahahahah!”

“No way, no way, Su Mo, you should calm down. How can you be so overwhelmed by this small reward given to you? Keep calm!”

“Today’s work is to… explore and investigate the location where the kobolds have been mining saltpeter. If there’s enough time, it would be best to also locate their campsite.”

“(Attention!!!) This might be a tough war. I must not let my guard down.”

“Upgrade all the equipment if possible! I have to ensure my own safety!”

“Before the sun sets at 7 o’clock, I have to return to the Shelter. Remember, do not spend the night in the wilderness.”

“I am ready!”

Su Mo was feeling satisfied as he switched off the chat channel. Using the strength of his waist, he flipped his body up and landed firmly upright on the bed.

It had only been one week in the wasteland and he could already feel his physical fitness had improved by more than just a single level.

All his work-related illnesses were gone thanks to the infinite supply of psychic energy water and had been instead replaced by a strong physical body!

“I’ve become much stronger than when I first arrived here!”

He clenched his fist and observed his visibly protruding veins as if it was proof that his blood was flowing rapidly. Su Mo had never felt so strong before.

The physical body was a precious thing.

If a normal person’s strength was 5, training a little more by lifting weights would increase it to 6, but for a person to build up strength to 10 would be painful, tough and require immense effort.

On the other hand, the recovery process, whether it was from 2 to 5, or even 6, as long as one had sufficient nutrients and rest, the speed would be incredibly fast.

“Psychic energy water… it’s probably the best choice that I’ve ever made!”

Su Mo stood up and gathered the psychic energy water that he collected yesterday before pouring it into the water tank. He scooped some of it and brought it to the culture medium and started to brush his teeth.

Little Spark and Big Spark had already woken up and clucked away, running around in circles within the base.

Oreo was doing her job. She was curled up in the corner of the living room, her eyes never leaving the Kobold Mage.

It was a different kind of morning at the shelter. It didn’t feel as quiet or as lonely anymore, instead giving off somewhat of a happy farmhouse vibe.

“The food stored in the base is kind of bland and lacking in vitamins and nutrients.It won’t help if I have to keep eating these in the long run.”

After Su Mo finished his morning routine, he went over to the warehouse, rummaging through the pile of survival goods while ruminating on his thoughts.

Fresh vegetables and fruits were a luxury to even him in the wasteland.

Without a regular source of nutrients, people could easily fall sick and contract an illness that even psychic energy water would not be able to cure.

Perhaps a week was fine, but after two or three weeks, if the body did not absorb any nutrients, he was afraid that there would be a whole host of issues that would accompany the bodily stress inflicted, including mental problems such as easily losing one’s temper.

“The biscuits have almost run dry as well. It has only been a few days, but I’m tired of it already.”

Su Mo bent down and grabbed the remaining packs of biscuits and walked out of the supply room.

It was not hard to obtain fresh vegetables and fresh fruits. All he had to do was to open some treasure chests and one of them would contain those things.

However, as the number of mutant beasts continued to decrease, his target could be only be the—

The kobold pack!

For now though, it was the familiar biscuit paste that was for breakfast. He made four portions, enough for everyone in the base.

Polishing off his breakfast, he then packed the remaining biscuit into a mineral water bottle, tightened the cap and put it back in the storage space. He then strolled toward the workbench.

Since he was going to investigate the kobolds’ campsite, he would need to review and upgrade his equipment for the task.

For his ranged weapon, the electric crossbow would still be sufficient for now. No upgrade would be needed at this point.

Taking a look at his melee weapon, the Japanese Oak Spear; ceramic plate armor that would shield him; and heat-insulated raincoat, all three of those were in dire need of an upgrade.

Focusing, he transferred the familiar-looking long spear onto the workbench.

Summoning the system, Su Mo examined it:

[Japanese Oak Spear]:

Description: A brand-new wooden spear with an overall fine texture. Has patterns that resemble flying swans. The material is as hard as iron and boasts impressive lethality.

First upgrade option: Upgrade the material to fine iron spear, increase the hardness of the material, increase the flexibility of the material, increase the sharpness of the weapon. Survival points required (55).

Second upgrade option: Upgrade the material to fine iron spear, increase the hardness of the material, adding an electric booster that can significantly improve attacking speed. Survival points required (80).

“Back then, the electric spear upgrade was too expensive for me. Now… it’s a piece of cake.”

He looked at the price shown in the system with a smile on his face before heading to the supply room to grab some iron.

After putting in three pieces, the cost of the second upgrade option decreased to 65 points.

65 points were deducted after he made up his mind.

“Green, oh, give me that green color! I have more than enough cash today!”

Su Mo looked at the green light proudly, waving his hands as if he was the hardworking one forging the spear.

The clinking sound of two metals colliding with each other echoed in the air.

The Japanese Oak Spear began to tremble, and bits of wood were slowly shaved off from the patterned wooden spear, revealing the beautiful layer of silver under it.

The wooden bits that were shaved off did not disappear. Instead, they gathered together and formed a rectangular device.

The device measured 3cm in height and 12cm in length. Guided along by the green light, it clasped firmly underneath the wooden spear and swirled.

The spearhead also evolved from its grooved wooden material to a matte, silver-black colored iron edge.

As the green light disappeared, a new iron spear laid on the workbench. Su Mo quickly grabbed it and held it in his hands.

[Fine Iron Electric Spear (Good)]

Description: Made from special metals. Has high flexibility and toughness. The spearhead is etched with a blood groove. It boasts impressive lethality and an electric booster has been attached at the end of the spear.

Special ability: Electric booster can slightly increase the attacking speed and damage.

Comment: Yah! Eat this spear!

The wooden spear had been light, weighing in at about 3kg. Given Su Mo’s increased strength, it was no longer suitable for him.

After the upgrade, the weight of the Fine Iron Electric Spear increased to 10kg, which worked out perfectly for him.

Su Mo stabbed out a few practice moves before trying out the electric booster button. Indeed…

No electricity!

“The system is stingy, not even sparing me that tiny amount of electricity.”

He then connected the charger for the Fine Iron Spear to the electrical supply. Su Mo then placed his well-worn raincoat on the workbench.

Although it was a raincoat, it possessed a variety of functions.

These days, Su Mo had been wearing it all the time, regardless of whether it was while working in the shelter or going out for a hunt.

Even though he was under the hot sun, its excellent heat insulation meant that he would not feel hot. Rather, it could even insulate against the sunlight’s UV rays that could possibly harm him.

“I shouldn’t neglect my combat abilities either!”

“It’s time to upgrade myself with stronger abilities!”
