People tend to be fickle after all.
Chen Bei immediately put the spear into his backpack, kept the fire axe in his hand and swung it a few times in the air.
The fire axe made a swishing sound as it cut through the air, and it felt quite powerful when swung.
"Awesome! Let's try chopping firewood with this thing."
Chen Bei found a wooden chair, swung the fire axe three times with a cracking sound, and smashed the chair to pieces.
The efficiency was much higher than before!
Another portion of wood was added to his inventory.
Chen Bei was happy and was about to go out when suddenly his eyes lit up.
The door was made of wood!
Since chopping the chair could yield wood, chopping the wooden door should work too, right?
Chen Bei immediately gave it a try and found that it indeed worked!
The wooden door was sturdier than the chair.
Chen Bei had to chop it about ten times before destroying the wooden door.
The wooden door dropped more wood, five units in total.
Now it was much easier for Chen Bei to collect wood.
In this corridor, not every room had a chair, but every room had a wooden door.
So, the essence of this dormitory survival game was actually a game of collecting materials and scavenging!
Chen Bei had played similar survival games before and quite liked this kind of feeling.
He already had eleven portions of wood in his hand, which was enough for the time being, so he resolutely went back the way he came.
On the way back, someone in the corridor saw Chen Bei and hurriedly hid in the room in fright, trying to avoid him at all costs.
The fact that Chen Bei was a "murderer" had already been deeply rooted in people's minds.
He didn't bother to pay attention to these people and went all the way back to his Room 815.
As soon as he entered the room, he got busy.
First, he started to make a wooden shield!
It consumed two units of wood, one parts box and one portion of iron nails.
Chen Bei stood in front of the workbench, his hands moving rapidly with astonishing speed, combining various materials together.
A simply-shaped wooden shield was thus born.
[Obtained Level 1 equipment - Wooden Shield.]
Wooden Shield
Equipment level: Level 1
Category: Equipment
Attribute: Physical
Defense: 8
Durability: 20/20
Description: You can't expect too much from this wooden shield. It can't stand the test, just like your love.
––
Chen Bei held the fire axe in his left hand and the wooden shield in his right hand, wearing bloodstained clothes all over.
"Finally got some decent equipment! I wonder if I can defeat a zombie one-on-one."
The previous act of killing had a huge impact on Chen Bei.
He was confident that if facing a zombie, he would have the courage to fight it.
Even if zombies looked terrifying, he wasn't afraid.
He had worked in a funeral parlor before and had seen all kinds of corpses, so he was already used to it.
"Next, it's time to upgrade the door."
Chen Bei put down his weapons and walked to the door.
Making props was done at the workbench, while upgrading the door had to be done in front of it.
As long as there was a blueprint, options would be triggered when approaching it.
[Materials required for upgrading: Wood * 3, Parts Box * 2, Adhesive Tape * 1, Iron Nails * 1.]
[The upgrade conditions are met. Do you want to upgrade?]
[Yes √]
Chen Bei's hands were moving up and down again, as fast as a phantom.
A progress bar appeared and was moving slowly.
The process went quite smoothly.
When the progress bar was filled.
[The door has been upgraded successfully.]
Door
Level: Level 2
Defense: 12
Durability: 50/50
Previously, this door had been damaged. While being upgraded, it seemed that the durability had been replenished incidentally.
After the upgrade, the appearance of the door had changed significantly. It became thicker and had decorative bumps and dips on the surface, while it was flat before.
The upgraded door gave people a greater sense of security.
That wasn't all!
Chen Bei also had the recipe for a Level 3 door in his hand, and he had enough materials as well.
This was all thanks to his rummaging around and scavenging materials everywhere before.
[The upgrade conditions are met. Do you want to upgrade?]
[Yes √]
Repeating the previous upgrade process, Chen Bei got busy again.
This time, the progress bar moved even slower, just like a snail crawling.

Meanwhile.
In Room 838, which was diagonally opposite.
A female player named Cao Qingqing lived here. She had long, flowing hair and was good-looking. She used to be a public relations woman.
Since the game started, Cao Qingqing had been hiding in the room and didn't dare to come out.
She crouched by the door and peeked outside through the peephole. To her surprise, something unusual was happening in Room 815.
That door suddenly flashed with a stream of light and turned into a more advanced one.
The doors around were all the same, but only the door of Room 815 had changed.
The door was upgraded!
Cao Qingqing's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Why has his door changed its appearance?"
Judging from the exterior.
The door of Room 815 was obviously more solid and durable.
Previously, Cao Qingqing had witnessed with her own eyes that Chen Bei had killed someone and scared away a group of troublemakers.
Now Chen Bei's door had even been upgraded.
In this survival game, Chen Bei was definitely ahead of others.
That is to say, he was what was often called in games a high-level player, a big shot!
People like that are quite terrifying.
If one could become friends with him and latch onto a powerful backer, that would be a different story.
"Should I go and get close to him? No matter how fierce he is, he's still a man after all. As long as he's a man... Hmph."
Cao Qingqing lifted her red lips, showing a confident look in her eyes.
She was a public relations woman and had sold her body to achieve her goals at work.
To her, her looks were a weapon, a bargaining chip!
Cao Qingqing's mind was already made up.
She continued to observe the opposite side, calculating in her heart.
Suddenly, the door of Room 815 flashed again, and its appearance changed once more.
This time, the door became even thicker and sturdier, although it was still made of wood.
There were even patterns on the surface of the door.
The doorknob also looked nicer.
Cao Qingqing's eyes widened again, her eyelashes curled up, and her pupils were shining.
"His door has been upgraded again!"
Cao Qingqing was extremely excited.
It was clearly stated in the game that it was relatively safe during the day, but it would become dangerous at night.
And the door was a guarantee of safety.
Hiding in Room 815 must be safer than in other dormitories.
Just now Cao Qingqing was still hesitating, but now she made up her mind and finally reached a firm decision.
She must latch onto this powerful backer! At least she had to give it a try!
——
The door of Room 815 opened and Chen Bei walked out.
The doors of others were still at Level 1, while his had already been upgraded to Level 3.
This time when he went out, he planned to go a bit further, to other floors, and collect more fire axes.
This kind of weapon could be found on every floor, and it wouldn't hurt to get more.
If he took all the fire axes away, others wouldn't have any to use, but he didn't care.
In a survival game, it's inevitable to be a bit selfish.
Let's go!
Chen Bei was just about to set off.
At this time, the door of a room diagonally opposite opened.
A long-haired woman walked out. She was wearing a unified blue-and-white uniform with two buttons undone at the collar, slightly revealing her cleavage. She was rather good-looking and there was also a faint trace of a worldly air about her.
The woman had locked eyes with Chen Bei before, and this time she took the initiative to come out.
"Hello, my name is Cao Qingqing. I'm trapped in this game just like you. I'd like to ask you, do you need a partner? Working together as two people is always more advantageous than working alone, right?"
Cao Qingqing stood at the door, tentatively negotiating, feeling very nervous.
