My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!-Chapter 53 - First Build By The Magic Workbench!
“It gave three upgrade options. Seems like the workbench is actually the item in the entire base that has the most potential to be upgraded?”
Thoughts raced through Su Mo’s mind as he carefully read through the pros and cons of each upgrade.
“The workbench was initially supposed to be of normal grade, but it went up to an excellent grade after I included two premium add-ons.”
“If items created in the game panel are not supposed to have any grade, then items created using the workbench will at least have the workbench’s grade included in it. That means it’ll be of excellent quality. I wonder if that will add-on any unique abilities…”
“So, if I use the system to upgrade the workbench’s properties up to a perfect level, that means that even a randomly created spatula would be of perfect quality!”
As Su Mo realized that, he cheered inwardly and hurriedly retrieved one unit of wood and one unit of iron.
Amidst all the items, it seemed that an iron axe would be the easiest to craft. All you needed to do to create a “passable” iron axe was to saw off a piece of iron and find a way to stick it onto a wooden stick.
Su Mo walked over to the energy center and connected the generator. After ensuring that the output from the generator was steady, he switched the energy source of the shelter over to the generator.
The robotic arm would use up a lot of power during cutting and welding. There was no way a 400 AH lithium-ion battery would be able to withstand it.
After using the monster illustration handbook to scan the surroundings and also doing a round of surveillance using the television to ensure there were no enemies within a 1-kilometer radius, Su Mo heaved a sigh of relief and put his raincoat on before walking up to the workbench.
The workbench seemed to weigh a ton because its body was constructed from both wood and iron. Circling it to walk to its left side, Su Mo pressed down on the workbench’s self-testing safety button.
An indicator light began flashing red. Three seconds later, it turned into a shade of green that evoked joy.
The robotic arm secured on the side of the workbench also began its self-test. After several seconds of vibrating, the machine began expanding slowly and provided a space for humans to extend their arms within.
Su Mo sat down and tried placing his right arm inside.
Clamp!
When the robotic arm detected weight, it began closing slowly and snapped shut with a pang. The entirety of Su Mo’s left arm was encased beautifully within.
When Su Mo tried moving the arm that had metal attached to it, he marveled at how smooth and strong it was!
The electronics bear the majority of the weight of the robotic arm, which meant his actual arm did not feel weighed down by the robotic arm.
Su Mo gazed at the turbines, welder, and an instrument that seemed to be used for cauterizing on his arm. Then, he raised his arm toward the wall and sighed as he said,
“Sorry, I am Iron Man.”
He touched the smooth lines of steel and the variety of instruments on it.
A proud feeling arose in Su Mo as he looked at the power of a human combined with a machine.
“Human bodies are way too fragile. I hope I can make it to the day where I craft armor like Gundam.”
The advancement of his personal combat power was definitely going to be in
The future direction of personal combat power is bound to be in the direction of mecha.
And that day would not be too far away in the wasteland!
Su Mo snapped out of his imagination and utilized the convenience of the storage space to bring a unit of iron and wood over to the table.
When he tried using his left hand to press the button on the cutting machine, a whirring sound immediately rang out.
The saw blade wheels on his right hand began spinning slowly. As he pressed the button again and again, the speeds increased more and more, and then returned to its slowest speed after it had revved up to third gear.
After trying it out, Su Mo switched back to the slowest speed and extended the saw blades toward the sheet of iron.
Twang!
Harsh sparks of fire immediately landed on the mask of Su Mo’s raincoat, and the light was so bright it made his eyes sting.
It was Su Mo’s first time operating a cutting machine like this, and a lack of experience made his eyes sting so badly that tears flowed, making him look like he was crying.
“Shoot, I forgot that people always wear a cover when they cut stuff. Got to go get me some sunglasses.”
As Su Mo hurriedly took the robotic arm off and wiped the tears from his eyes, he walked over to the utility room and found the bottle of Cola he had been reluctant to drink before.
He took the bottle of Cola and walked over to Oreo, who was still standing guard at its spot to feed it several sips.
Su Mo finished the rest of the Cola.
After carefully ripping the cola sign off from the bottle, Su Mo found the chopper he had scavenged from the wasteland and went to town on the Cola bottle.
The resistance of plastic could be largely ignored if a sharp blade was used with swift movements.
Su Mo only needed to exert a little strength before he cut the top of the bottle off and split the body of the bottle into two halves.
After carefully using the tip of the knife to carve the shape of a pair of eyes on the bottle, Su Mo picked the bottle up and wrangled with it. He ended up with a pair of freshly crafted sunglasses lens crafted from two Cola bottles.
Grabbing the tape, Su Mo placed the sunglasses lenses over the part of the raincoat where one would look out from. Steadying his gaze, he called out to the system so that the raincoat’s properties would appear.
[Strong Raincoat]
Description: one-piece raincoat with strong waterproofing functions, slight protection, and heat-insulating properties.
Upgrade option: material (20), windproof (30), UV-ray proof (10-8), heat insulation (15)…
Introduction: boys also need to wear their raincoat and protect themselves, okay?
“Upgrade protection against UV rays!”
He had just finished speaking when two survival points were deducted. The two sunglasses lens he had pasted on began melting and merging into one with the mask.
Once again, Su Mo put on his coat and sat down at the workbench to continue his unfinished work.
When in front of the upgraded mask, the dazzling light and sparks created by the cutting machine lost their formidable power.
Items crafted using an excellent workbench would have extremely strong bonus attributes.
The brick of iron seemed strong, but when placed before the spinning cutting machine, it was like a brick of tofu as the blades easily sliced through it.
After carefully separating one iron unit into five smaller ones, Su Mo placed four of them on the ground before trying to increase the temperature of the remaining one
A blaze burnt from the welder on his right arm and bathed the block of iron in high temperatures. You could watch as the iron changed colors into a burning red.
A hammer popped out after he hurriedly switched off the welder. Su Mo raised an arm and hammered the burning metal.
With the help of the machinery, Su Mo continued hammering for a full minute before he stopped working.
Now, the iron had begun taking the shape of an axe’s blade. Although not as uniform as one created by the system, the quality was considered not bad for a first-timer like him.
“Luckily the tools on this workbench help work on these materials. If not, who knows how long I would have to wait before I could heat up and weld the iron!”
Su Mo pressed on another button to release streams of air and cool down the axe rapidly. After that, he moved the slab of iron to one side and picked up his wood so that he could begin chopping and sanding it using the cutting machine.
In a short while, a smooth axe handle was created.
After attempting to scale down the size of the bottom of the iron so that it would be the same size as the tip of the axe handle, Su Mo placed the wooden handle into the slot on the workbench and used his robotic arm to exert pressure.
A brand-new axe was created!
Then, he turned the cutting machine around and used the edge blade to finish grinding the axe and making it a sharp, usable axe.
“Wasn’t that hard to craft an iron axe. Good job me!”
Su Mo took off his robotic arm and opened the slot so that he could take the axe, which still smelt like hot iron, out.
The smooth axe handle was not as intricate as the ones crafted in the game panel, but the length and width of it all suited Su Mo’s preferences.
It was his first time crafting an axe, so the two sides were of unequal height, with the left side being slightly taller. However, the blade shone so menacingly that no one would dare doubt its power!
Su Mo concentrated his efforts and summoned the system. When he looked at the properties of the axe he had just created, he was shocked!
[Iron Axe (Excellent)]
Description: an iron axe crafted by conscientious craftsman “Su Mo”. High-quality materials were used and upgraded to be of excellent quality for some bizarre reason despite the rough handwork.
Special Abilities: 1. Sharpness +1
<ol start=”2″>
Small chance of causing an explosion when chopping trees (sharpness +3)
Comment: Could this be… Could this be the Falling Sakura Axe? (That’s all)
