Chapter 80: Synthesis Room Finally Arrived!

Lin Yifan inhaled deeply; merely smelling the meat's fragrance gave him a refreshing, clear‑headed feeling.

"The effect of this pot is indeed impressive!" he thought joyfully, continuing to focus on cooking.

In no time, a pot of fragrant crocodile meat soup was ready.

Lin Yifan ladled a spoonful, gently blew on it, then eagerly swallowed it.

In an instant, a warm energy flowed from his throat into his limbs and bones, as if his whole body were infused with new vigor.

【Consume【Delicious Crocodile Meat Soup】, Physical Stamina recovery +3, temporary Strength increase +1, Duration: 1 hour.】

"Physical Stamina recovery +3! And a temporary Strength boost!" Lin Yifan was overjoyed.

The pot's effect far exceeded his expectations; it not only greatly enhanced the food's attributes but also provided additional bonuses.

With this pot, his upcoming adventures will be much more secure.

After eating his fill and drinking, Lin Yifan felt his condition had reached its peak.

He stood up, stretched his muscles and joints, feeling the abundant power within, his heart swelling with excitement.

However, outside it was still dark; by his estimate, it wouldn't be daylight until at least 8:30 today.

It's only 8:15 now, still early!

Lin Yifan moved a wooden stool, sat beside the living‑room fire, and used the 【Mithril Cast Iron Pot】 to reprocess the meat he had prepared for lunch.

At the same time, he took out the 【Silver Grade Four Shelter Blueprint】.

At that moment, he suddenly recalled that after his Shelter reached level three, he had never opened the Shelter's information again.

The reason was simple: he hadn't obtained the Level 4 Shelter Blueprint yet, so viewing the information made no difference, and he couldn't upgrade the Shelter anyway.

Now was the time to take a serious look.

【Bronze Grade Brick‑and‑Tile Bungalow (60 sqm, layout: 2 rooms, 1 hall, 1 bathroom, 1 kitchen)】

Grade: Level 3

Insect Tribe protection +3

(Overall assessment: This is a single‑story bungalow built of stone bricks and tiles. Although its craftsmanship is crude and its appearance unattractive, it offers strong protection against the Insect Tribe. However, this Shelter is not waterproof! If a flood occurs, please evacuate promptly, lest your life be at risk.)

Next level: 【Basic Level 4 Shelter: Two‑Story Brick‑and‑Tile Small Single House】

Basic upgrade conditions:

【Basic Level 4 Shelter Blueprint: 1/1】 (You have obtained the 【Basic Level 4 Shelter Blueprint】. Do you wish to upgrade?)

Basic Level 4 Shelter upgrade conditions:

【Intermediate Wood 300/0】

【Intermediate Stone 500/0】

【Intermediate Clay 200/0】

【Intermediate Cast Iron 100/0】

Silver Bureau Level 4 Shelter upgrade conditions:

【Intermediate Wood 600/0】

【Intermediate Stone 800/0】

【Intermediate Clay 400/0】

【Intermediate Cast Iron 300/0】

【Advanced Cast Iron 50/0】

【Glass 15/12】

【Ceramic 25/18】

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

Lin Yifan stared at the long list of upgrade conditions, his head feeling about to explode.

Even a regular Level 4 Shelter requires a huge amount of Intermediate materials, let alone a Silver Grade Level 4 Shelter.

It seems that without building a 【Synthesis Room】, a Level 4 Shelter is out of the question.

But thinking of the 【Synthesis Room】, Lin Yifan hurriedly opened the 【Survival Shop】.

Inside the shop, items that were previously gray and unavailable for purchase had all turned colorful now.

He has no interest in anything else now; he only wants the 【Synthesis Room Blueprint】.

5,000 Contribution Points, even for Lin Yifan, is not an easy matter.

He nearly went all out yesterday, only then managing to grind up the Contribution Points.

As a result, this single blueprint consumed almost half the Contribution Points, and Lin Yifan couldn't help but feel a pang of pain.

However, if he doesn't buy it in the shop, he'll have to resort to other channels.

But if other channels were that easy to obtain it, the shop probably wouldn't be selling it so pricey.

It was already a desperately needed item, and rather than

Lin Yifan bought the 【Synthesis Room Blueprint】 without hesitation.

It was a tiny scroll; when opened, it depicted a Synthesis Room with simple line drawings.

However, a blueprint is just a blueprint; to turn it into an object, he still needs to gather materials for construction.

【Synthesis Room】

【Primary Cast Iron】: 60/24

【Mithril】: 5/8

【Primary Stone】: 100/256

Fortunately, Lin Yifan already has most of the materials needed to build the Synthesis Room, especially the hard‑to‑get 【Mithril】, which he happens to still possess.

Thus, only 【Primary Cast Iron】 remains; this item was hard to find a few days ago, but in the past two days it has become easy to obtain.

He was too lazy to bother, so directly at the Auction House he used three jin of Crocodile Meat to make up the lacking 【Primary Pig Iron】.

【Synthesis Room】

【Primary Pig Iron】: 60/60

【Mithril】: 5/8

【Primary Stone】: 100/256

(Materials sufficient, craft?)

"Craft Synthesis Room!"

Lin Yifan didn't even hesitate for half a second; he immediately chose to craft.

Soon, a series of ding‑dong sounds rang in his ears.

But the source of the sound was the empty room next door.

That room had previously been filled with some clutter, but it had just been cleared.

Now it was empty; he hadn't expected that building a Synthesis Room would actually require a separate empty house.

Lin Yifan got up and walked to the door, and at once saw three Transparent Little Persons holding hammers and similar tools, clattering as they built the 【Synthesis Room】.

Lin Yifan examined them closely and found that the three Transparent Little Persons were not the ones he had seen before.

"It seems that crafting different things summons different Transparent Little Persons."

Recalling his previous trade with that Transparent Little Person, Lin Yifan cut off a piece of meat and divided it into roughly equal three portions.

When the Transparent Little Persons finished building, he gave each of them a portion of raw meat.

However, what Lin Yifan didn't expect was that these Transparent Little Persons didn't dare to accept them.

After repeatedly waving their hands, they even bowed to him and then vanished.

This left Lin Yifan genuinely puzzled; could it be that only when there is a single Transparent Little Person does one need to give something?

Could it be that these Transparent Little Persons are part of an organization, merely hired laborers sent in to work?

Giving them gifts is tantamount to bribing them, so they dare not take anything?

"What are you thinking! As expected, you're too poisoned by bureaucracy."

Lin Yifan slapped his forehead, feeling speechless at his own ridiculous thought.

But since they wouldn't take it, it saved him the trouble!

After tossing the Crocodile Meat back into the void, Lin Yifan finally had the mind to start inspecting his Synthesis Room!
