My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!-Chapter 54 - Rub Your Hands in

“There’s a double entry?! And I created that double-entry!!!”

Su Mo stared dazedly at the axe in his arms, and he could not stop himself from grabbing an axe he had created in the game panel from his storage space to make comparisons.

The hand-crafted axe looked exceptionally rough compared to the elegant axes created in-game.

However, Su Mo found an oddity after he placed the two axes next to each other.

Although the blade crafted in the game panel looked menacing, it did not look the slightest bit mystical.

Whereas the hand-crafted blade shimmered once in a while and seemed to have the help of gods.

Su Mo retrieved the left-over wood pieces from when he crafted the axe blade and used both axes to chop the wood.

When Su Mo used the axe he had crafted in-game, he could feel a resistant force clearly when he tried chopping down with it. It was only after he increased the strength used that he could make a dent.

However…

The hand-crafted axe made the wood seem like a piece of tofu as it gleamed and chopped off a corner from the slab.

“Holy sh*t… I can probably chop like 50 trees in a day using something like this!”

Unable to suppress the shock he felt, Su Mo cursed out loud, still unable to understand how an axe he had crafted spontaneously held such power.

“Looks like hand-crafted supplies will become man’s true love, and the game panel will be getting eliminated!”

“Besides, the most important thing to note in hand-crafting is… it does not require points!”

After experiencing crafting with the workbench, Su Mo grew repulsed at the thought of the game panel, which required you to pay one survival point before you could use it.

The sooner you enter the electric age, the sooner you get a better workbench. The sooner you enhance your handcrafting abilities, the sooner you get better gear.

At the same time, the workbench would help high-level crafters improve their skills immensely.

It was an extremely fair set-up.

There were no messy design plans to refer to in creating legendary weapons. If you wanted good gear, you had to look at the design plans yourself and make sense of them before hand-crafting them.

Su Mo walked over to the bucket and ladled himself a glass of psychic energy water to drink so that he could calm down from his excitement.

“If the excellent quality gear is already so good, imagine how scarily good premium quality gear would be when I create it!”

After getting to know the workbench’s usage, Su Mo hurried back to the workbench and immersed himself back in work.

He was going to craft a series of simple tools now so that he could get rid of the normal quality ones he had crafted before in the game panel. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

Amidst the tools, Su Mo decided to begin with an iron shovel as it was easier to craft compared to the other tools!

Plang!

When Su Mo put his raincoat on, he seemed to become possessed by a craftsman as he sat down at the workbench and focused on work.

The sparks from the cutting machine flew forth, and an ear-piercing sound rang out as the brick of iron was kneaded and flattened into small, irregular squares.

He paused for a while when he finished cutting.

Su Mo took the irregular squares to the center, where he began heating and hammering them.

With the help of the robotic arm’s immense strength, the squares began changing shape and taking the form of the familiar shovel as the arm hammered down on them.

Compared to the last time, Su Mo had become familiar with the actions now and managed to hammer the shovel into a more even thickness.

He put the shovel aside to cool after it was done.

And he took out two units worth of wood. This time, Su Mo used up ten pieces of wood to craft different wood sticks of different lengths so that he could keep them as spares.

After placing a slightly longer wooden stick in the slot, he took the cool shovel and pressed the two together to form a brand-new handcrafted iron shovel.

Su Mo smiled after he summoned the system and read the shovel’s properties.

[Shovel (Premium)]

Description: an iron shovel 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″>

Energy Saving +1

Small chance of causing an explosion when excavating dirt (soil resistance lowered greatly (20s))

Comment: your special talent at digging holes and burying people has caused you to be enriched with luck when crafting shovels!

“I’ll craft an iron pickaxe and then try digging for the sulfur ores at my door. When the time comes, I’ll have an ak47 falling into my lap. Tsk tsk, feels great just thinking about it.”

Su Mo forced himself to not get carried away by his excitement and spent another half hour crafting an iron pickaxe.

However, it was just like how the system had introduced things. Unless you were super lucky that day, a workbench of excellent quality would mostly only produce items of excellent quality.

The iron pickaxe was also of excellent quality, and it had not triggered the workbench to produce premium quality products.

After Su Mo finished crafting those three tools, he switched off the power source to the workbench and walked to the energy center to check how much power had been used.

“Hm, not bad, only used about 7 percent of the battery. This level of consumption is still acceptable. Perhaps I can try crafting a high-quality crossbow when I have time…”

Su Mo acted according to instructions and turned off the generator so it could rest. After turning on the battery-powered supply, he returned to the shelter’s living room to have a large glass of psychic energy water before he began putting on his gear in preparation.

Oreo hurried over from its corner to signal that it would like to follow along as well.

Su Mo smiled as he lowered to pet Oreo’s head and say gently:

“Good boy, stay and watch over this person. I’ll just be outside digging up some stones and I won’t go too far. I’ll be back really soon.”

When Oreo heard that Su Mo was not going out to play, it pouted and wagged his hairless tail as it lay back down slowly.

Su Mo did not know if he should laugh or cry as he looked at the expression on Oreo’s face, and then at the kobold in the corner, which seemed to have fallen asleep. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

Huskies were supposed to be energetic dogs, but Oreo had been acting strangely recently, lying down to rest right after having a meal. He did not know what was going on.

Shaking his head to banish the thoughts to the back of his mind, Su Mo arrived at the command and operations center where he turned on the television to survey what was happening nearby.

Everything was coming back to life after more than a day of constant acid rain downpour.

They might be horrifying, dangerous toxins to humans, but they were precious nectar to plants.

The grass, which had originally been fading yellow, was now a patch of green again.

After zooming into the shrubbery where the kobold army had been buried, he observed carefully and noted that there were no footprints to be found.

After another round of looking, Su Mo spotted two animals that seemed like chickens casually drinking from a puddle of acid rain.

“Huh? What’s that? Won’t the acid rain corrode them?”

Su Mo stared in shock as he zoomed in and watched two wasteland chickens calmly drinking the water from the puddle of acid rain.

Their feathers were the same shade of muddy yellow as the ground of the wasteland, with a tiny speck of red decorating the top of their heads. Underneath their slightly large wings was their pink, tender meat.

Brown beaks and black eyes.

Besides their claws, which were larger than chickens on Earth, the rest of their body was essentially identical to country hens.

He summoned the game panel and launched the Monster Illustration Handbook, deciding to use his one chance for the day.

[A wild feather chicken is detected 114m away from the player. Danger factor 12. Please be cautious]

[Today’s count 2/3]

“Wild feather chicken?”

Su Mo opened the handbook and scrolled down to the properties of wasteland creatures like these.

[Wild Feather Chicken]: a wasteland creature that is rare to attack aggressively. Has a strong digestive system that will fend off toxic products below the medium level. Possesses adequate mobility. Upon determination of the nest, it will not change spots easily unless there is a presence of an extremely strong enemy or external factor. Will often build their homes near sources of water.

[Weakness]: extremely scared of high-pitched sounds. Will lie paralyzed on the ground after hearing high-pitched sounds

[Danger Count]: 12

“Amazing. Are you sure you’re not here to deliver me eggs?”

Upon double-checking and confirming that these two wild feather chickens had built their nest near the acid rain lake, Su Mo turned off his television excitedly and walked toward the back door to meet his new neighbors.

“How could my neighbors regard themselves as an outsider? My shelter is warm in the winters and cool in the summers. How could living in the wilderness compare to living here!”
