SWNOVELXO Chapter 5 - Upgrading the Elevator
Lin Feng was surprised to find that this person’s elevator contained a lot of wood and scrap metal.
After moving all these things back, he would definitely be able to upgrade his own elevator.
Glancing at the time, Lin Feng realized there were less than 50 minutes left.
“Damn, I gotta hurry up.”
Lin Feng cursed inwardly and quickened his pace, managing to move all the useful things from the other elevator to his own in 15 minutes. With the remaining time, he picked through the junk shop items and loaded up his elevator.
By the time Lin Feng stepped into the elevator, he could barely fit standing in the door.
But the hard work was not in vain. On the screen, it showed that his elevator could now be upgraded.
[Upgrade Elevator]
As soon as Lin Feng pressed it, the elevator shook violently and the walls started moving outward.
In a moment, Lin Feng’s elevator had expanded by about double.
A small water tank also appeared, thoughtfully labeled [Toilet].
“I’m so grateful to you and your whole family! You gave me a toilet right after upgrading!” Lin Feng complained while looking at the screen.
[Upgrade Materials: 100 kg wood, 120 kg iron, 5 gold coins]
[Remaining Needed: 60 kg wood, 90 kg iron, 4 gold coins]
“Not bad, doesn’t need that much. So these gold coins are for upgrading the elevator, I thought they were for trading.” Lin Feng remarked, taking out the exquisitely crafted gold coin.
He then opened the chat room. Gold coins must be pretty rare in the early stages, otherwise it wouldn’t only take 5 to upgrade.
Glancing around, it seemed only his elevator had reached Level 2 so far.
Just then, the system rewards came in.
“Ding, host has completed the mission, distributing rewards…”
“Rewards distributed, 1 steel crossbow and 20 bolts.”
After the system spoke, a steel crossbow appeared in the elevator, along with a quiver containing 20 bolts.
“Ding, new mission – upgrade elevator to Level 3, reward: 1 chainsaw, 100L gasoline.”
The reward for the new mission is actually a chainsaw?
Bald Qiang’s logging saw?
If he came across a forest floor in the future, he could just cut down all the trees!
He probably wouldn’t lack for wood after that.
But for now, upgrading the elevator was still the priority.
In the chat room:
Lin Feng: [Anyone have gold coins? I’m willing to trade iron and wood, 10 kg of either for 1 coin. Let me know if you want to trade.]
[10 kg? Are these coins that valuable? Senior bro, you upgraded to Level 2 that fast? Did you team up with others?]
[What are the gold coins for? I have 1, could they be used to upgrade to Level 2?]
[Of course they’re useful! Why else would he want to trade them? I bet they’re for upgrading the elevator.]
[Didn’t expect someone to already reach Level 2 after just 1 day, so envious! How’s the Level 2 elevator? I just want to know if there’s more space, being cooped up in this enclosed space all the time, I can’t breathe!]
[Yes, yes! I have claustrophobia too, it’s so uncomfortable.]
[Big bro Lin Feng~ See any cute 160 cm lolis, take them in please~ This one has a soft, easy to push down body ya know~]
[160 kg? Or lb?]
[Hahahaha, laughing my ass off! That’s gold!]
[What, meters?]
[666666]
…………..
Seeing the chat drift off topic, Lin Feng was speechless.
A 160 cm loli? More like a 160 kg mini tank!
“Enough for now, time to sleep.”
After putting up 20 kg wood and 20 kg iron in the trading market, Lin Feng left the chat room.
With the larger elevator space now, he decided to make himself a proper bed. He had kept the desk surfaces when dismantling them earlier for this purpose.
He joined 8 flat surfaces together to form a hard wooden bed. It would be better than sleeping on the iron floor, and he could add some padding later when possible.
For chairs, he only kept 2 and took the rest apart for upgrade materials.
After testing it out, lying on his coat on top, Lin Feng nodded satisfied.
“Not bad, pretty comfortable.”
He then found an open spot to start doing pushups and squats. Starting today, he was going to exercise and build up his body, vital in this new environment.
He would start with simple workouts first, then move on to weighted exercises later to increase endurance. Just moving heavy objects today had him huffing and puffing already.
It wasn’t that he was weak, mainly that he had slacked off after starting college, languishing in the dorms every day.
Back in high school, he had a ripped four pack!
“Sigh, good old days, how I miss them!”
Lin Feng sighed, then forced himself to keep exercising.
Food and water supplies were still ample for now. The beef canned goods were huge, 2 kg each according to the label. Of course, there was liquid inside, so the actual meat was less. But the 2 cans could easily last him 2 days.
After working out for 2 hours, Lin Feng relaxed his muscles then went to sleep.
…………
“Ding, the upcoming floor is the Red Dress Room. There is a vengeful red dress ghost on the bed and an iron chest under the bed containing 2 gold coins, 1 talisman for dispelling ghosts, and 1 soft blanket. Note: The red dress ghost will not directly kill humans entering the floor. The talisman can instantly kill it.”
“Ding! Triggered selectable mission, please choose, host.”
[Option 1: Enter floor and open chest, reward: 1 electromagnetic cooker requiring no electricity.]
[Option 2: Enter floor, open chest, and kill the red dress ghost, reward: 1 Health Pill, improves physique when consumed.]
[Option 3: Do not enter floor, reward: 1 compressed biscuit.]
Lin Feng awoke to the system’s voice.
“System, can I choose both reward 1 and 2?”
“Beep, apologies host, you can only pick one.”
“Alright, then I choose 2!” Lin Feng said decisively.
