Throughout his two lives, Sam has never been one to place too much importance on money!
In theory, Money is also a form of resource, But in the special period of the catastrophe, with martial law in effect worldwide, the variety of purchasable supplies is limited, And they are also restricted!
For example, deliveries that used to be made by a single courier now require two, who also carry self-defense weapons, And receiving packages now necessitates showing an ID for verification.
Honestly, The efficiency of the state apparatus is undeniable, ensuring everything is securely managed!
Sam cleverly used his advantages to create a shelter system and trade supplies with others.
For instance, the heating unit was traded with a factory owner who specializes in machine processing, A special version!
And the plant cultivation room, the construction team, all were contacted through the forum.
Otherwise, As an ordinary citizen, Without power or influence, Where would he find a construction team at this time!
Xiao Guozi: "No money? As for supplies... I have fruits in my shelter, would that work?"
Upon hearing this, Sam was taken aback.
Because fruits are not easy to preserve, he initially did not include them as a type of supply.
Later, he regretted it, but it was too late, Fruits were unavailable both in the city and online,
Officials, corporations, individuals, nearly everyone was hoarding supplies!
Thinking of fresh fruits, Sam couldn't help but swallow, typing, "That works, but no rotten fruits, and the price... 100 pounds!"
Xiao Guozi: "Great! Don't worry, God, the fruits here are fresh, shall I send them to you now?"
Invincible Son: "Sure!"
Soon, Xiao Guozi sent over pictures of the fruits and a tracking number,
Sam checked the tracking number online to confirm there were no issues, then sent the complete version of the shelter system key to "Xiao Guozi".
Interestingly,
"Xiao Guozi" was in the same district as Sam, so the delivery was expected to arrive in half a day.
In reality, The delivery was even faster than Sam anticipated!
Around 10 p.m., the courier delivered the goods, Three large boxes, Totalling 100 pounds of fresh fruits, Of various types.
Before Sam could even try some, The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System suddenly took flight!
"99%...100%! Binding successful!"
"User! Welcome to The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System—Shelter Version!"
The next moment,
The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System flew straight towards Sam, hitting his forehead!
However, Sam didn't feel any impact, and The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System instantly disappeared.
The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System: "Host, The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System is now bound to you."
"That's good, no need to carry it around!"
Sam nodded, saying, "Open the shelter system!"
The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System: "Yes!"
Immediately, Several holographic screens appeared in mid-air.

Every area, every piece of equipment, had a corresponding holographic screen,
Showing property data, and also allowing for the selection of upgrade options, using unspecified points for upgrades!
"I have 10 points now, why not use them to try it out?"
Sam pondered,
Deciding to see the results,
After all, it was almost 12:00, and at that time, a new tally would give him more points!
Thinking it over,
He walked over to the refrigerator.
The fridge was already packed, with only a small portion of the newly acquired fruits able to fit inside.
If left outside, who knows when they might spoil!
Perfect, He could expand its capacity!
Sam reached out, tapping on "Large Capacity (10)"!
The next moment, His 10 points dwindled to 0,
And the refrigerator in front of him suddenly distorted, doubling in size instantly!
"Wow!"
Sam was startled, looking at the refrigerator's properties.
...

Upgrade options: —, Automation (10), Quality (10).
...
"It's incredible, it doubled in size instantly!"
Sam was somewhat excited,

At the very least, Surviving the catastrophe would be much easier!
