Chapter 3 - Shelter Upgrade

[Insulated Blueprint]

A complete drawing of a heat-resistant shelter. Heat is reduced during the summer and kept in during winter. Perfect material for temperature regulation.

Size: 24 Meters-square

Stone: 0/200

Fiberglass: 0/10

Foam panel 0/2

Sand: 0/20

"The materials are too costly. Even with the power of the upgrade system collecting all these materials will prove difficult and time-consuming. This is the second day, the protection period ends tomorrow, I have to improve my basic living conditions first"

The insulated house blueprint was a treasure but it could not be used right now. Perhaps tomorrow he could trade some of his items for them.

[First Aid Kit]

Sterile Bandages

Antiseptic cream

24 pain relief tablets

Muscle relief patches

Pepto bismal

Ibuprofen

Splint

Cold and fever medicine

Thermometer

Quantity: 3

There were two packets of muscle relief patches in each first-aid kit, each packet had four patches, Baek Hyun applied two to his right shoulder and one to his left.

Immediately a cool sensation spread and relaxed his stiff muscles and joints.

"It's quite effective. This medicine might be even better than what was sold on Earth"

"I have one day left of the protection period. Since I can't upgrade the shelter using the blueprint I'll use the manufacturing function to upgrade the shelter's wooden structure"

[Wooden Shelter]

A simple upgrade for your broken wooden shed.

It will take more than a huff and puff to blow away this shed.

Wood: 0/50

Since he still had sunlight left Baek Hyun started to gather stones and branches to make an axe first.

Thankfully the island looked like a jungle so acquiring pieces of wood and stone was quite easy.

[Stone axe ]

A basic tool used for resource gathering.

Stone 3/2

Branches 6/3

Would you like to manufacture

Yes/ No

After selecting yes an axe with a wooden handle and stone head appeared in front of Baek Hyun.

"It's heavy but swinging the katana all day gave me some strength in my arms"

*Ding*

Stone axe can be upgraded to *1 Carbon Steele axe

Would you like to upgrade

Yes/ No

(note:an axe qualifies as a weapon and therefore will not be upgraded in quantity)

"Amazing even manufactured tools can be upgraded?"

"Does this mean when I use the manufacturing feature to upgrade the shelter I can trigger another upgrade?"

Receiving no response Baek hyun remained joyful and checked the attributes of his upgraded tool, the head had changed from stone to Steele but the wooden handle remained only the color was darker.

[Carbon Steele axe]

A lumberjack dream tool, it's sharp and efficient.

"Not much to go on but it's lighter and looks sharper, I'll test it out first.

The shelter was surrounded by trees, Baek Hyun decided to chop trees a little further from his shelter and the trees also provided him some cover from the creatures that might be lurking around.

In 20 minutes Baek hyun watched as a 1.8 m tree fell to the ground, at the same time 10 units of wood appeared in his inventory. He now had 13 units of wood.

"Not bad 10 units of wood in 20 minutes, I only need to chop trees for about an hour and a half, and I'll have 50 units of wood.

By the time Baek hyun had finished the sun was setting and his back had started hurting.

"I wish I agreed to go on camping trips at work, but nothing like sleeping on a bed and staying indoors"

[Wooden Shelter]

A simple upgrade for your broken wooden shed.

It will take more than a huff and puff to blow away this shed.

Wood: 53/50

Would you like to manufacture

Yes / No

Immediately a white light flashed then his original wooden house looked more wooden?

Baek Hyun circled the house, the wood looked thicker and more stable, and all the gaps had also been covered"

"At least ill be warmer tonight. It's a little bigger too. Thankfully the temperature has been warm so it's not that cold at night, it would be bad if I died of hypothermia"

The inside of the shelter was still bare but Baek hyun was happy about the improvement before the wood creaked when he stepped on it the wooden door looked like it would fall off its hinges but now he could feel comfortable knowing his shelter would not suddenly collapse while he slept.

" I have ramen and water but no fire, so I'll keep eating sandwiches for now. Tomorrow I'll craft a pickaxe and start collecting stones, I should search for treasure chest too before the animals start getting active"

After a light dinner of two sandwiches and water, Baek Hyun felt rumblings in his stomach for the first time since he came to this new world.

"Damn, this is bad, I had no problem peeing but where should solve this problem."

After using branches and stones to dig a hole Baek Hyun settled his issue but discovered a new problem

"Fucking toilet paper, using leaves and water hurt my ass"

"I also haven't showered in two days now I have to deal with actual shit, maybe my stench could act as protection once the 3 days of over"

After covering the hole with dirt he awkwardly walked back to his house.

After taking a Pepto bismal for his stomach problems and applying a patch to his back Baek hyun decided to check the regional channel for new information.

1004: This is impossible I crafted a stone axe and after an hour of chopping down a tree I only got 3 pieces of wood, I might as well collect branches instead, it's way faster.

Katie: I need help my shelter was near a small lake and I drank some water but now I keep throwing up, I need medicine, or else ill die of dehydration. My shelter Has 2 big boulders next to it, as well as the lake, please if you are near here, help me.

4565: Why are resources so hard to obtain I got 3 chests today and only got a packet of instant noodles, a stick, 3 band-aids, and a blueprint of a flycatcher.

Adel: Does anyone know what crystal fragments are and how we complete them? I got 3 after killing a rabid raccoon thing.

"I got 10 units of wood after chopping a tree for 20 minutes, the upgraded axe is really something, but It seems food and water found in the wild are not safe to eat and drink, thanks to the system I have enough food and water. Right now it looks bad for most players on the island, I guess I would be suffering without the system too, but I'm not about to risk my life for a stranger, maybe we could trade tomorrow if she lives and has something I want. It seems we can change our usernames as well but ill leave that for later"

"I almost forgot about the energy crystal, since the system called it a special reward it should be a good thing"

Energy crystal

Grade: Special

A mysterious energy that is native to the survival world.

To absorb crystal players need to crush it

(note: crystals have 5 grades; basic, special, legendary, mythical, and celestial)

Baek Hyun placed the crystal under his heel and stepped on it. When the crystal shattered a blue light clung to Baek Hyun's body and energy poured into his body.

"It feels comfortable"

2 minutes after the light disappeared Baek hyun immediately noticed a change in his body, he felt lighter and stronger.

"I feel like could bench press over 180, I've never felt this energized in my life. The crystals are definitely something that helps players improve their strength. If this is a special grade I'm dying to know what celestial-grade crystals can do"
