Chapter 158: Golden Cheat

Lin Chen's words fell, Xia Nuan hugged his arm even tighter, her cheek sticking to his chest,

able to clearly hear his powerful heartbeat. Tuan Tuan seemed to be disturbed by the movement of the two,

raising its head from the sofa, "meowed," and slowly rubbed to Xia Nuan's feet, curling into a ball and continuing to sleep.

Just at this moment, a rapid prompt sound suddenly rang in Lin Chen's mind,

【Detected that the emotional resonance between the host and Xia Nuan reached its peak, triggering hidden conditions—Golden Cheat plot unlocked, do you want to open it immediately?】

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then asked the system: "Golden Cheat? What exactly is it?"

【The Golden Cheat is the ultimate auxiliary system for apocalypse survival, containing three core functions: First is "Infinite Material Generation," which can generate basic materials such as food, medicine, weapons, etc., as needed, without cooling restrictions; Second is "Ability Sharing," the host can share his mastered Absolute Zero, One Punch Man, etc., abilities with designated objects, and after sharing, the ability strength of both sides increases by 50%; Third is "Base Upgrade," which can consume energy values to transform the existing base into a fully automated defense fortress to resist high-level mutant and human enemy invasions.】 The system explained in detail, its voice rarely carrying a trace of fluctuation beyond mechanical.

Xia Nuan sensed Lin Chen's abnormality, looking up and asking: "What's wrong? Is there any prompt from the system?

" Lin Chen held her hand, repeating the system's words, Xia Nuan's eyes instantly brightened: "Infinite material generation? Then people in the base won't have to worry about hunger and lack of medicine in the future?" Lin Chen nodded, saying to the system: "Open the Golden Cheat plot immediately."

【Golden Cheat plot opening—10%, 50%, 100%, opened successfully!】

Following the system prompt sound, Lin Chen felt a warm current surging in his body,

the fatigue left by the battle just now instantly disappeared, and the wounds on his arms also began to itch,

seeming to be healing rapidly. He lifted the protective gear to see, the wounds that were originally deep enough to see bone had already scabbed, leaving only faint red marks.

"My wounds are healing!

" Lin Chen said happily. Xia Nuan also leaned over to look, reaching out to touch the scabbed place gently: "Really! Much faster than before!" The system's voice sounded again,

【Ability sharing function has been activated, the host can choose the sharing object.】 Lin Chen did not hesitate: "Share with Xia Nuan."

【Ability sharing successful! The host and Xia Nuan have shared Absolute Zero, One Punch Man, Predictive Evasion, Extreme Kick abilities, and the ability strength of both sides has increased by 50%.】

Xia Nuan suddenly felt an extra force in her body, she tried to mobilize Absolute Zero,

an ice flower instantly condensing on her fingertips, even more stable than when Lin Chen first mastered it.

"I can use your abilities!" Xia Nuan raised her hand excitedly, the ice flower rotating in her palm, glowing with crystal light.

Lin Chen nodded with a smile, and said to the system again: "Try infinite material generation,

generate 100 portions of compressed biscuits and 50 units of antibiotics." As soon as the words fell,

a pile of well-packaged compressed biscuits and antibiotics appeared out of thin air on the living room coffee table,

piled up like a small mountain. "Really generated!" Xia Nuan picked up a pack of compressed biscuits,

unwrapped it and tasted a bite, "Same as what we found before, and the taste is still very fresh."

The two were excited,

when the system prompted, 【The base upgrade function needs to consume 1,000 energy values, the current energy value is 500 points, and the remaining energy values can be obtained by killing mutants or completing system tasks.】

Lin Chen looked out the window, there were still mutated creature corpses left by the battle during the day on the base plaza,

he said to Xia Nuan: "We go handle those corpses, maybe we can get energy values, and upgrade the base into a fortress sooner."

Xia Nuan nodded, picking up weapons with Lin Chen and walking out of the villa. Just arrived at the plaza,

the system prompted: 【Detected recyclable energy sources (5 elite zombie corpses, 8 exploder corpses, 12 shadow cat corpses, 1 lord zombie corpse, 1 steel beast corpse, 1 thunderbird corpse), do you want to absorb energy values immediately?】

"Absorb immediately!" Lin Chen said.

Following the system prompt sound, the mutated creature corpses on the plaza gradually faded,

finally disappearing, the energy values on the system panel jumping rapidly: 【Energy value +20 (elite zombie), +30 (exploder), +15 (shadow cat), +200 (lord zombie), +300 (steel beast), +250 (thunderbird), current energy value 1,365 points, meeting base upgrade conditions, do you want to upgrade immediately?】

"Conditions met!

Upgrade immediately!

" Lin Chen and Xia Nuan looked at each other, both seeing expectation in each other's eyes.

The system's voice sounded: 【Base upgrade begins, expected time 10 minutes, during the upgrade, the base will be in a closed state, defense system temporarily strengthened.】

As soon as the words fell, a transparent energy shield suddenly rose around the base,

covering the entire base inside, the energy shield glowing with faint golden light, the distant abandoned buildings shaking slightly by the aftermath of the energy shield.

The two stood inside the energy shield, watching the defense walls around them begin to automatically reinforce,

the wall surface covered with a layer of metal shell, and many automatic machine guns extending from it;

the base gate also deforming, becoming wider and thicker, with several energy locks added to the gate; a circular console appeared in the center of the plaza,

with many buttons on it, marked with "Defense Gun Control," "Energy Shield Adjustment," "Material Storage," etc.

10 minutes passed quickly,

the system prompted,

【Base upgrade completed! Fully automated defense fortress enabled, current defense level: high-level, can resist lord-level mutant and below attacks, automatic machine guns, defense guns, energy shield can be controlled via console or system remotely.】

Lin Chen walked to the console, pressed the "Energy Shield Adjustment" button, the color of the energy shield changed from gold to transparent, but could clearly feel its hardness.

Xia Nuan also leaned over, pressed the "Material Storage" button, a storage space popped out on the side of the console,

neatly placing the compressed biscuits and antibiotics they generated before,

and some weapons and ammunition automatically generated by the system. "We won't have to worry about materials and safety anymore!" Xia Nuan said with a smile,

reaching out to hold Lin Chen's hand. Lin Chen held her hand back, looking at the automated fortress in front of him,

and then looking at the person beside him, his heart full of stability—with the Golden Cheat, with Xia Nuan, even if it's the apocalypse, they can live well. ===== CHAPTER 159 =====
