Chapter 35: Sense of Security Has Arrived

~7 min read 1,211 words

Moreover, it's very thoughtful: although the window isn't small, the safety measures are excellent.

The glass window structure is built inside, and the glass slides horizontally left and right, not pushed in and out.

This structure makes the glass window more stable, and when locked, it's also harder to push open.

But this isn't the most important; what matters is that the outside of the window also has a theft‑proof design made of rebar.

Even the rebar is as thick as a finger; even if tigers and lions came, the safety would still be high.

Meanwhile, there's also a filter layer in the middle that can keep out mosquitoes, so there's nothing to worry about regarding the impending mosquito outbreak.

One could say the window's protective qualities have been taken almost to the extreme.

Besides that, the shelter originally had only one firepit, located in the very middle of the house.

Now, not only have the rooms been divided into three, but there are also three firepits.

Each independent space contains a small firepit, but only the middle one is lit now; the other two small firepits are not lit.

Moreover, I don't know if it's because the sealing is better, but the walls' insulation is also better.

Although only the middle firepit is burning, the temperature inside the shelter keeps rising.

The outdoor temperature has already dropped to 10 degrees.

This temperature isn't cold, but in this damp, chilly environment, without other heating it would be quite miserable.

Meanwhile, the indoor temperature is at least fifteen or sixteen degrees, and if all three firepits were lit, it could definitely rise a bit more.

No wonder it's a bronze‑grade level‑three shelter; Lin Yifan is quite satisfied.

But standing in front of the master bedroom's bathroom, seeing everything bare inside, he still feels a bit wistful.

He has already learned the blueprints for a flush toilet, a heat lamp, and a solar water heater, but unfortunately he lacks the materials and can't make them yet.

Otherwise, he could have a perfect shelter!

No, he's still missing a kitchen.

But a kitchen isn't a necessity; it can be discussed later.

Since he now has rooms to live in, it's naturally more comfortable to stay in them.

Lin Yifan moved the bed into the room, took out two down quilts, laying one underneath as a blanket and placing the other on top as a comforter.

"I'm still missing a pillow…"

Lin Yifan stood by the bed, decisively opened the Auction House, which happened to have pillows for sale, and decisively bought one for ten stones.

However, after placing the pillow on the bed, he still felt something was missing.

But what exactly is missing?

He just couldn't figure it out.

After a moment of hesitation, he simply took a photo of the bed and sent it to his only friend right now—Ruan Qingtán.

He asked, "I always feel like I'm missing something on the bed, but I don't know what; can you take a look for me?"

Ruan Qingtán was at that moment bitterly gnawing on bread with cold water.

She does have a bed, but there's nothing on it except a layer of thatch.

That thatch was cut by her today from the grass outside.

Indeed, right in front of her shelter is a large patch of grass.

Unfortunately, because of the rain, the thatch is also soaking wet.

After she cut it in the morning, she placed it by the fire to slowly bake; it's only just barely dry now.

But lying on it is still uncomfortable.

As a result, Lin Yifan actually sent her that photo, which made her feel a bit emo.

She replied helplessly:

"Boss, I know you're doing great, but I'm really having a rough time—please don't rub it in!"

"In my opinion, your bed setup is already very perfect; if I had to point out a flaw, it's probably just missing a four‑piece set."

"If you sleep like that, the quilt gets dirty easily and will be hard to wash later; if it's a down quilt, it can't be washed at all."

"A four‑piece set! So that's what's missing!"

Lin Yifan's eyes lit up; he immediately opened the Auction House, wanting to exchange for a four‑piece set to put on his bed.

After searching for a while, he couldn't find a full four‑piece set; at best he found only a blanket and a bedsheet.

But they weren't from the same set—the blanket was Kaito Kid's and the sheet was Snow White's, which don't match at all.

But having no choice, Lin Yifan bought both the blanket and the sheet.

After laying out the sheet and blanket, he finally felt satisfied.

But looking at the patterns, he still couldn't help muttering.

If he gets the chance, he'll definitely switch to an Ultraman set!

After admiring the made‑up bed for a while, Lin Yifan then began to raise the fire in the room.

Lighting the fire is actually simple—just pull a few burning pieces of wood from the living‑room firepit, and the fire is started.

However, he didn't extinguish the living‑room firepit, even though he knows nothing about planting.

But he does know that plants like to live in warm environments.

After finishing up, Lin Yifan finally had the mind to open the two treasure chests he'd exchanged for from Hong Shaoqiang.

He didn't hold much hope for the white treasure chest; most of the time it's not food but just basic supplies.

The only thing worth a surprise is probably his harvest critical hit bug from today, which can make the chest drop more items.

Lin Yifan placed the two treasure chests in front of him and opened them directly.

"Talent activated, gaining 6× critical hit reward!"

【Salt】 (498g) × 6

【Mushroom Essence】(260g)×6

Lin Yifan's eyes instantly lit up!

It's actually salt and Mushroom Essence!

This is practically the soul of life!

Although he also has salt now, the amount of salt is very little, and the amount taken out for exchange on the Ranking List is also very little; almost all of it has been swapped for by him.

But even so, it's only about two or three hundred grams; he has always been sparing with it, afraid that if he uses it up, there will be none left.

Now it's fine; there are six bags of packaged salt, each one jin, which, if used solely by him, would last several years.

Moreover, there's Mushroom Essence; Mushroom Essence plus salt makes anything cooked fragrant and delicious!

This Treasure Chest practically opened right in Lin Yifan's heart.

Blissfully, he put all the salt and Mushroom Essence into his space, fearing to lose them.

After putting them away, Lin Yifan began opening the second Treasure Chest.

This time, he even put his palms together, praying to all kinds of deities, hoping to get an auspicious unboxing just like the previous Treasure Chest.

However, this time luck didn't favor him as much!

"Talent Activation, gain 10x Critical Hit Reward!"

The reward multiplier is pretty good; it's the maximum 10x reward.

This is the largest Critical Hit multiplier he has obtained today since gaining this buff.

But the items that came out of this chest are something he can't quite understand!
