Chapter 161: It Actually Has Durability? (Renovated Again)

Lin Yifan couldn't help but want to try it himself; he had previously learned many furniture blueprints, so he casually chose a chair to craft.

The chair's crafting materials are common; only three pieces of basic wood are needed.

So Lin Yifan didn't need any preparation; he simply took three pieces of wood from the space, placed them on the Workbench, and selected to craft.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

A faint sound rang out, and about a minute later, a brand‑new chair appeared before him!

However, this chair was not the same as the ones he had previously crafted.

Before, using that blueprint, the chair he made was just the most ordinary wooden stool, without any backrest.

Aside from being sturdy and durable, it had virtually no advantages!

But the chair before him had no backrest, and the wood was finely polished and smooth, like polished glass; it was truly high‑end and upscale!

Lin Yifan stared in amazement at the chair, then turned his head to glance at the small Workbench.

He was certain that his blueprint and the materials were flawless, yet why did the resulting chair differ?

The only possibility was that the small Workbench, enhanced by magical runes, produced reinforced items.

Only he didn't know whether such reinforcement had any limits!

Nevertheless, limit or not, it was still a good thing!

He tinkered with the new Workbench again, and after scratching his itch, Chen Yifan finally went to inspect the other rooms.

The layout of the second floor was similar to the first, but aside from the small workstations, only two sections remained.

One section was a room with nothing inside; judging by its size, it seemed to be a guest room!

The other section was different: also an empty house, but its area occupied two‑thirds of the entire Shelter.

Lin Yifan stood at the doorway of the large room, his face full of question marks?

What could such a huge empty room be used for?

Could it be a dance studio?

Yet when he stepped inside, he finally understood what the room was for!

It turned out to be a constant‑temperature room, and on the wall beside the entrance hung a massive thermometer.

The temperature inside stayed constantly at 23 °C.

One should note that outside the temperature was already near zero; even with a fire and thick blankets, it was still cold.

This room's temperature was the most comfortable for the human body, and while inside, Lin Yifan felt his whole body relax!

And perhaps it was not just his imagination; he found that his Physical Stamina recovered faster in this room!

Just as he wondered whether his sense of temperature was off, a message finally flashed before his eyes:

【Silver Grade Level‑4 Shelter】

Grade: Level 4

Insect‑clan protection +5

Waterproof performance +3

【Unlocked Basic Constant‑Temperature Room】 (The room's temperature forever stays at 23 °C, unchanged by seasons!)

(Overall assessment: This is a two‑story standalone building that incorporates basic magical runes; it can repel insect‑clan incursions and also provides some waterproofing and temperature‑regulation. The runes give the Shelter growth potential, and it is recommended to study magical knowledge promptly to activate more functions.)

Next level: 【Basic Level‑5 Shelter: Multi‑function Small Villa】

Basic Upgrade Condition:

【Basic Level‑5 Shelter Blueprint: 1/0】

Basic Level‑4 Shelter Upgrade Condition:

【Advanced Wood 500/0】

【Advanced Cast Iron 600/0】

【Hundred‑tempered Steel 200/0】

【Colored Glass 80/0】

【Mithril 80/18】

【Refined Gold 10/0】

(Friendly reminder: Shelters built from higher‑quality Shelter Blueprints will be sturdier, safer, and more comfortable. If Survivors have the means, please construct higher‑quality Shelters!)

They actually unlocked the constant‑temperature room!

Lin Yifan's face was full of delight; although he no longer feared the cold as much, that didn't mean he liked being frozen!

He wasn't a hermit; gathering resources outdoors in broad daylight was already exhausting, and then having to endure cold at home made life feel miserable!

Whether others are interested is unknown, but he certainly isn't!

However, looking at the remaining two attributes, Lin Yifan was a bit puzzled!

What does 'Insect‑clan defense' mean?

Could it be that this Shelter can prevent insect‑clan attacks?

If that's really the case, then that's actually a good thing!

Although we don't know now how many disasters will occur in the future, nor whether the Mosquito Swarm Disaster will appear again.

But in such desolate wilderness, snakes, ants, rats, and insects are never lacking; since the Mosquito Swarm Disaster can occur, why couldn't the Mantis Disaster or the Spider Disaster happen as well?

So this attribute is still quite useful!

As for the waterproof attribute, Lin Yifan doesn't really care; after all, he has the Source of Ten Thousand Waters, so he won't be drowned no matter what!

"Wah la la la…"

Speak of the devil!

Lin Yifan had just thought of the flood issue when he heard intense dripping from the roof.

He walked to the window and saw that a torrential downpour was already pouring outside!

The dense rain curtain made Lin Yifan's scalp tingle!

Because the rain was just too heavy!

In less than a minute, the plot of land he dug in front of the Shelter was already flooded!

If it keeps up like this, in at most ten to twenty minutes the first floor of the Shelter will be taking on water!

If it rains continuously for an hour, the first floor will likely be submerged!

Sure enough, after Lin Yifan stared out the window for a while, a series of information prompts appeared before him.

【Alert! Alert! Heavy Rain Disaster has officially arrived. All Survivors, please prepare, actively meet the disaster, and we also wish you good luck, hoping you can survive this disaster well!】

【Alert! Alert! Your Shelter has taken on water!】

【Alert! Alert! Your Shelter has been eroded by water, durability decreased by 0.2, current durability 99.8 (if durability reaches 0, the Shelter will lose all functions; it can be repaired when you find a repair).】

【For your safety, please try to avoid letting the Shelter soak in water!】

Lin Yifan looked at the message and suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed!

He had considered many settings, but the only one he hadn't thought of was that the Shelter also has durability!

He always thought the Shelter was like the Newbie Village—though it could be destroyed, it shouldn't just wear out from use!

Moreover, the first three levels didn't mention durability at all; now that he finally upgraded the Shelter to level four, it suddenly has durability, which is truly frustrating!
