With the help of the Level 3 Corrupted Wasteland map, Su Mu easily rushed back to his shelter.
Outside the shelter, several Skeleton Hounds were gnawing at the protective shield.
However, the shelter's shield couldn't be broken within three days.
Even with a few Skeleton Hounds blocking the entrance, Su Mu tore through them without trouble.
After defeating the Skeleton Hounds, Su Mu quickly cleared the path back.
Once inside the shelter, Su Mu's first action was to take out the Level 1 Wall Construction Blueprint.
"Building the wall requires 200 stones, 40 wooden planks,"
"and 10 Energy Stones."
Su Mu had no trouble gathering those materials.
With a wave of his hand, a large batch of materials appeared in front of him.
Then he took out the blueprint and clicked to use it.
Immediately, a rumbling sound surrounded the shelter.
The old, broken walls around the shelter were instantly demolished.
In their place, a solid, intact wall perfectly enclosed the wooden shelter.
Because new players have a three-day protection period, any buildings owned by the shelter are protected by the shield.
So Su Mu's new wall was also covered by the protective barrier.
He checked the current status of the wall:
[Name: Level 1 Stone Brick Wall]
[Durability: 200/200]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Secondary Entry: Not acquired]
[Description: A protective wall that gives newcomers a considerable sense of security.]
[Special Note: When attacked, durability decreases.]
[If durability doesn't drop below half, ordinary materials can repair it.]
[If durability falls below half, Energy Stones are required for repair.]
Satisfied, Su Mu nodded.
Walls are defensive structures and will need repairs eventually.
If minor repairs cost Energy Stones, that would sting.
But if ordinary materials like wood and stone bricks can be used, Su Mu had plenty of those in his system warehouse and could fix it anytime.
"Next, I can upgrade the Demonbreaker Crossbow."
"A Level 2 Demonbreaker Crossbow, combined with my current level, should be enough to deal with that bloody wild boar in the Energy Stone mine."
"Now I just need one Broken Gold Grass."
Su Mu opened the trading market to see if anyone was offering Broken Gold Grass.
In the trade records, someone seemed interested in trading Broken Gold Grass for some other special items with Su Mu.
Curious, Su Mu clicked to check it out.
[Li Zhen: Hello Lord Su Mu, I thought you wouldn't be interested in tree fruits.]
[Li Zhen: Although I found Broken Gold Grass, a single bone's strength boost is limited, so I want to trade more with you.]
[Li Zhen: After all, I currently have a…]
Tree fruits?
Su Mu was a bit curious.
In this post-apocalyptic world, finding living trees was extremely rare.
Wood planks were mostly salvaged from broken houses or decayed trees.
So for Li Zhen to find fruit-bearing trees meant he had great luck.
[Su Mu: Okay, send over some of the fruits first so I can take a look.]
Li Zhen quickly sent over some blueberry-sized fruits.
[Name: Ink Plum Fruit]
[Description: A fruit with a somewhat sweet and sour taste. Refreshing the Secondary Entry may yield a different flavor.]
Seeing the cheeky system description, Su Mu decided he wouldn't waste any Secondary Entry refresh chances on this.
If he ever got seeds for plants or fruits, maybe then he'd consider refreshing.
Refreshing a single food item's Secondary Entry would definitely be a loss.
[Li Zhen: Lord Su Mu, do these suit your taste?]
[Li Zhen: I want to trade six more Ink Plum Fruits for three more bones.]
[Li Zhen: If you think that's not enough, I can gather more.]
Li Zhen was a bit nervous on the world channel.
Although he had luck finding fruits, he had no luck fighting Skeleton Hounds.
The monsters here were often much stronger than Skeleton Hounds.
Though the environment here was better, the monsters were deadlier.
For Su Mu, this was no problem at all.
The drops from Skeleton Hounds held no value for him now.
No matter how the trade went, Su Mu would never lose out.
Getting extra bones in exchange for valuable items was always a good deal.
[Su Mu: Okay, I've updated the trade terms.]
[Su Mu: Just confirm it on your side.]
Li Zhen's face lit up with a big smile.
[Li Zhen: Thank you so much, Lord Su Mu!]
[Li Zhen: If I find any more fruits, I'll definitely think of you!]
The trade completed, and Su Mu now had one Broken Gold Grass in hand.
He put the six Ink Plum Fruits into his system backpack and took out the Demonbreaker Crossbow.
[Upgrade materials ready. Proceed with upgrade?]
[Upgrade successful. Demonbreaker Crossbow upgraded to Level 2.]
Done.
Now the power of the Demonbreaker Crossbow was more than enough to easily handle the mini-boss in the Energy Stone mine!
