《My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!》Chapter 135: Upgrade! Lv2 Underground Shelter!

[Shabby Design Blueprint of Shelter]
[Description]: A inadequate shelter design blueprint designed by the inexperienced architect "Su Mo". Contains large and small architectural errors, 42 common sense engineering violations, 7 major defects, and 89 architectural violations. There are 27 minor defects, the planning is extremely unreasonable, most of the area is wasted, and the construction cost is huge. It is not recommended to directly proceed according to this plan.]
[First upgrade direction: Refactor the design of the shelter blueprint, greatly reduce common sense errors, retain the original design concept, and greatly improve the building's disaster resistance. Survival points required (120)]
[Second upgrade direction: Make amends for the defects of the architectural design, modify common sense errors in the design blueprint, retain design concepts, add water and electrical planning and transformation. Greatly improve the rationality of the design blueprint. Survival points required (300)]
[Third upgrade direction: Search for designs with the highest similarity to the architectural design as a blueprint reference, overrule the design concept, carry out reasonable planning, and slightly improve the use of space, disaster resistance, and comfort properties. Survival points required (280)]
[Comment: In designing this blueprint, your thought process has greatly exceeded your intelligence.]
"Sure enough, my way of thinking is good!"
Looking at the three options given by the system, Su Mo stood up from the workbench, rejoicing while adjusting his stiff neck.
If he had commissioned the shelter's design to others, it would cost fewer survival points. However, when he thought about the troubles that happened previously, Su Mo immediately dispelled this dangerous idea.
After all, it was the house he lived in. Spend more money and do less work. It was safer and more secure. There was absolutely no loss!
Putting the blueprint down on the table, Su Mo did not choose to upgrade it immediately. After moving to the crop culture room to look at the darkening sky outside, Su Mo began to wash up and prepared himself for bed.
Tomorrow was the day of his harvest from the arduous work he had done today.
Establishing the core of this shelter and relocating the second floor of the Deep-sea Shelter, both were important matters.
Su Mo sat on his small bed and turned on the heating pad. Before the bed warmed up, Su Mo, who had been exhausted from the day's activities, immediately fell asleep.
In the daylight hours of each day, Su Mo wished that he could double that time and spend them.
His life was the same as a stand-alone game, having a full schedule every day, and constantly completing one task after another.

Even in his dreams, Su Mo often had nightmares of being suddenly attacked by someone or of a monster coming to siege his shelter.
At this moment, all those burdens suddenly disappeared.
Dreamless, Su Mo slept extremely well and even produced slight snoring noises.
In the middle of the night, Big Spark and Little Spark, who were extremely afraid of the cold, slowly clambered onto the soft, quilt-like bed, both of them lying on either side of the bed.
Except for the sound of Su Mo's breathing, and Oreo's occasional saliva drooling and mouth moving as she dreamed of delicious food, the stable Underground Shelter was extremely quiet.
Even though he had an extremely standard biological clock, after waking up, Su Mo did not get up immediately, but rather changed his posture and fell asleep again happily.
Time was passing slowly...
Su Mo stayed in bed until about 11 o'clock. When he heard Oreo's movement running around in the living room in hunger, Su Mo woke up leisurely from his sleep.
The long sleep brought numbness to the brain, and a feeling of chaos came along with the headache.
He fumbled around for the psychic energy water cup on the bedside table, in a daze, Su Mo took a sip.
Suddenly...
His head no longer hurt!
His feet were no longer numb!
He felt energetic too!
The magical psychic energy water, just like mercurochrome, could take effect immediately after consumption, quickly alleviating the negative state of the human body.
Supporting himself on the edge of the bed, Su Mo adjusted his shoulders. He then stood up, put on his clothes, and walked into the living room.
The sunshine from the crop culture room was heating up and, with the slow flow of the wind, there was a gradual warmth spreading through the shelter.
Su Mo went to the command center and switched on the old TV.
He began to routinely check for danger outside the shelter.
"Oh, it's extremely sunny today. The weather is really good. It's a good time to start construction."
Turning the mechanical controller in his hand, the picture on the old TV began to change, raising the angle of view. The earth was quiet, and the wind stopped.
If one could look at the world in a calm state and set aside the anxiety that was caused by the impending blizzard in four days, it almost felt like winter was about to pass; spring was coming, and everything was about to recover.
"Without counting today, there are four more days before the blizzard arrives. I wonder how the others are preparing!"

After turning off the TV, Su Mo opened yesterday's system harvest panel to check the survival points while washing up.

[Scanning host survival environment. Survival points evaluation in progress. 242 survival points gained today.]
...
Total calculation: Survival points +1087
Survival points remaining: 2304
"Great!"
"Finally broke through to 1000 survival points in a day. The next goal..."
"5000 points!"
With enough water, it was easier for Su Mo to wash up. Seeing the survival points income, Su Mo's heart was filled with emotion.
Some time ago, even 100 points a day was a huge sum for him and it took a day or two to collect that amount.
Now, his points grew by a thousand points in one day. This development speed was not unpleasant.
"After the meal, I will start to upgrade the shelter. Everything is ready, only waiting for an auspicious time!"
Su Mo took out the rice, put it on the pot and steamed it. After hastily finishing lunch, he sat in the shelter, and quietly waited for the arrival of noon.
When the time had almost arrived, the dark storage space opened up in front of Su Mo, and all the safehouse cores fell on the floor like balls.
The game prompt sounded simultaneously:
[Record]: It is detected that the player has a complete safehouse core and meets the assimilation conditions. Do you wish for it to be assimilated?
This time, without any hesitation, Su Mo selected the core of Kento Maeda and confirmed it silently in his heart.
The turtle shell that belonged to Kento Maeda shattered and turned into a water-based substance that slipped from Su Mo's palm and fell on the ground.
Boom!
The entire shelter seemed to be kneaded by a big hand, trembling in waves. As the prickling sound ended, the base was larger than before, visible to the naked eye.
The area of the Underground Shelter shown on the game panel had also increased from 140 to 150 cubic meters.
At the same time, on the floor of the living room, all of Maeda's belongings were sorted into categories, neatly arranged according to their original storage locations in the core.
At this moment, there were 12 leftover damaged cores from the battles of Kento Maeda and his team.
Su Mo counted seven of them, summoned the game panel, and used all the seven cores at once.
Suddenly, a chemical reaction between the cores and the area seemed to have begun in the shelter, and a tremor that was even more terrifying than before hit.
Standing on the floor of the living room, Su Mo noticed that the objects around him were gradually moving.
The stone bench was moving away, and the sunlight in the crop culture room was also moving away into the distance. Even Oreo who was sitting at his feet began to drift away as the area expanded.
Everyone stood still, but the area was expanding in size.
With a thought, the attribute panel of the Underground Shelter opened automatically, and the new 220 cubic meter area suddenly appeared on it.

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!

The Pugilist
Vincent Roy Salazar has never been your common folk. He climbed any mountain he found in front of him. From a bright young student to an accomplished professor, his life can be described as a continuous race to the top of his chosen fields. Patriarch of a loving family, proud father of three already grown siblings, Roy realizes that his life is the perfect picture of what the average man strives for, and for that he is truly grateful. But happiness is a difficult-to-reach goal, and as he lies in a pool of his own blood, his fist cracked, a young lady crying while cradling his head, he remembers what really gave sense to his youth. Pure Unadulterated Violence The Pugilist wants to be a different take on isekai shenanigans. What would happen if instead of a moronic idiot, a depressed high schooler, or a wannabe hero the one to get his do-over is a fully grown man that has already seen what life has to offer in full? Someone who conformed himself to society, but has always craved something different? In a journey of self-discovery, academy building, god-slaying, and absolutely no harem we follow someone driven by logic, experience, and a smokey goal: to fuck shit up, have fun while doing so, and maybe resume his career as a professor for those strange, magic-wielding, unstable youths that seems to never get enough of his presence. Guys, a few notes, first of all, this is my first time writing long-form fiction. I have a background in psychology, and my main income comes from writing dreary financial articles on SEO blogs. But after a bad break-up, and finding myself falling asleep only while thinking of deus ex machina for stories on this site (and for APGTE) I decided to try my hand at this web series thingy. I'm confident in my grammar, but that's it. Everything else will be a first time, and as such any constructive criticism is encouraged and gratefully accepted. Now, on the story. Romance will be introduced once my little heart is mended, if you are scared of LGBT you may be turned off by the fact that I plan to have no taboo of any kind in my universe, but I won't ever write detailed sex scenes for any characters so don't worry too much. The litRPG part is very light and will take place later in the novel, but it's a key component nonetheless, for world-building and storyline reasons. I already have everything big planned out, so I won't drop it outta nowhere, and I hope you won't find too many flaws in how things pan out. I plan to make The Pugilist an interactive story, with secondary characters created by my audience and introduced after tweaks and careful planning. The main reason I'm writing this is that I want to build a community for myself in this time of isolation. I discovered that exercising, playing the piano or video games means jack-shit when you are utterly miserable, so I hope to give some value to my readers in exchange for praise, fame, money, and companionship. I give full props to anyone who has read this whole mess of a synopsis: I hope to not disappoint too much, now let's write some more steaming garbage that will be in dire need of editing later on.
