I build a shelter in the eternal night.

Chapter 50 "The wooden house is upgraded to level 3, becoming a 'stone house'."

Without hesitation, he walked down the city wall and headed towards the wooden house outside the city that served as a warehouse.

Once the "wooden house" is built, it cannot be moved.

The city's area is already insufficient. If the wooden houses inside the city are upgraded and their area increases, making it impossible to fit them all, who knows what will happen? Will they be integrated into the city wall, or will they be completely destroyed? He has no intention of experimenting with this.

Upgrading the wooden house to level 2 only requires 10 Mysterious Stones.

He crushed 10 strange stones.

The milky white liquid flowed in the air, and the phantom of the wooden house composed of white lines reappeared. The moment the milky white liquid flowed in, the area of ​​the wooden house did not increase, but the wooden structure began to grow, and some stone structures appeared.

It looks more sturdy and robust overall.

A panel pops up in front of you.
-
"The wooden house has been upgraded to level 2, making it more sturdy."

Please select an upgrade direction.

"1: Sound sleep."

2: Peace of mind.

"3: Increases the chances of pregnancy, but is ineffective against monsters."
-
"."

Chen Fan looked calmly at the panel in front of him. To be honest, he originally thought that this building might be like "farmland" and had no upgrade options.

Eternal night descended hundreds of years ago.

Ghosts and monsters are rampaging across the land.

The fact that not all the people in this world have died out may be due to this "wooden house". If you have a fixed territory and a fixed population, choosing the third upgrade path will effectively increase the birth rate.

He chose peace of mind.

For a warehouse, this upgrade direction is one of the few useful ones.

At least it can ensure that I can feel more at ease when entering and leaving the warehouse.

He took out another 20 strange stones and upgraded the wooden house to level 3.

The wooden house has changed again, with no wooden structure remaining. It has been completely transformed into a stone house, and its defensive and wind and rain protection capabilities have visibly improved. It has also changed from a single-story house to a double-story house.

It has two floors and is higher than the city wall.

I've been in this strange world for a while now.

I've gradually gotten used to it, instead of feeling uneasy at first.

at least
He somewhat liked the underlying rules of this world.

As long as you work hard, you will definitely reap the rewards.

As long as you use the Mysterious Stone to strengthen the building, the building will definitely be upgraded. The sense of security brought by this certainty is very rare. In the previous life, it was not that as long as you worked hard, you would definitely reap the rewards. Many times, you had to look blankly into the mirror and wonder why luck did not favor you.

Falling asleep without getting an answer.

Day after day, year after year.
-
"The wooden house has been upgraded to level 3, becoming a 'stone house' and is now much more sturdy."

Please select an upgrade direction.

"1: The area has been increased, and optional functional rooms such as kitchen, toilet, and bathroom have been added."

"2: Adding a 'dust-free array' can ensure that the room is dust-free."

"3: With the 'Shadow Array' buff, the lord can view what is happening in every corner of the house at any time."
-
Three directions for decoration.

One is fully furnished, one offers full-house cleaning, and one provides full-house surveillance.

Both are good choices for improving quality of life.

He chose the third upgrade path.

For a warehouse, a dust-free environment isn't necessary for the time being; a shadow array might be better.

"."

He stood outside the camp, looking at the two-story stone house in front of him. After upgrading to level 3, the wooden house had undergone tremendous changes. If the camp originally looked rather simple, now with the addition of this stone house, it looked much more upscale.

It's more like a human settlement.

There are currently no toilets in the camp.

However, in the wasteland, toilets, like nettles, are the most useless things. He didn't upgrade it further.

This experiment has already consumed a lot of his Ghost Stones. He only has 269 Ghost Stones left. He'll try out the level 4 wooden house when he has a slightly better supply of Ghost Stones. Oh, I mean, the level 4 stone house.

Like "Arrow Fortress".

This represents a qualitative change.

He has gradually come to understand the characteristics of architects. Most buildings undergo a qualitative change when they are upgraded to a certain stage, such as from "bear traps" to "spikes", from "arrow towers" to "arrow fortresses", and from "wooden houses" to "stone houses".

However, this stage is not fixed.

Some are at level 2, some at level 3, and some at level 4.

Each has its own merits.

He felt himself gradually growing to like this world. He liked to slowly build his own little world in it and then happily spend the rest of his life in his own camp.

"."

Chen Fan walked to the city wall and gazed at the horizon in a daze.

For some reason, he felt that his emotions were a bit volatile today.

Perhaps.
Since transmigrating, I've been in a tense situation and haven't had time to think much. Today, the thoughts I've been suppressing have started to surge forth uncontrollably.

Zhou Mo's men died yesterday.

He hadn't had a chance to ask the man's name yet, only remembering that he was a young, dark-skinned boy with a bluish-black chin after shaving. He had seen Zhou Mo shave that boy's stubble with a large knife.

No one in the camp mentioned it again. There was no simple funeral, and no one asked about it anymore. The camp continued to operate normally.

Perhaps everyone has become accustomed to death.

Or perhaps everyone knew they were facing the most critical moment of their lives and didn't want to disrupt morale.

Someone has to die.

No one lives forever.

During a late-night conversation a few days ago, Zhou Mo, Wang Kui, and the others talked about their ideals. He didn't say anything. Actually, he didn't have any ideals. He just wanted to create a safe enough camp and live in that camp forever.

He wasn't that interested in things like saving the world or dominating the world.

Even if he becomes the only king in the world, he still has to manage so many people, and he might not even be as happy as he is now.

This world is pretty good.

At least he found the local customs to be quite good. He felt he hadn't encountered many bad people. The man in the green robe who initially told him about the key information about the wasteland, Wang Kui who brought the first batch of food and water, Zhou Mo who was willing to sacrifice himself to protect the camp shortly after they met, and the lame monkey who had always been loyal to him.

He felt that everyone was doing well.

If I had to say I had an ideal...

He wanted to create a safe camp so that he could protect everyone well. Everyone trusted him so much, and he didn't want to watch familiar people die one after another.

That's fine.

As for Wang Mazi's subordinates who secretly kept the strange stone...

He could totally understand.

When I first joined the camp, it was my savings from many years of work, and it was only natural to want to keep some for myself. However, when the camp faced a crisis and I wanted to withdraw my savings, it was too late.

They were held hostage.

It's like going down a road that leads nowhere.

That's his guess.

After all, he was on the city wall at the time and saw Wang Mazi's subordinates in a state of extreme distress. Their youthful faces changed constantly in the rainy night. He originally thought that the young boy was struggling with whether or not to volunteer to leave the city.

It seems they're currently debating whether or not to release it.

Before he could make a decision, Zhou Mo jumped out of the city.

After that, the worm-infested tide receded.
