Chapter 10: Creating a Skylight

"Trade item: blast glass."

"Required item: 250ml of fresh water."

"Introduction: I won't say anything about the glass, it's definitely worth the price."

After seeing this message, Chris was shocked in his heart.

Glass, and it was a very strong explosion-proof glass!

Isn't this just the right thing to use for lighting for one's shelter.

Only, one piece wasn't enough!

To build a good lighting environment in the shelter, at least four pieces were needed.

With four pieces, one would only be able to build a smaller skylight to allow one's bed to be exposed to sunlight.

Without hesitation, Chris clicked on the private chat across the room.

The name of the opposite party was Belinda, and it was obviously a woman.

Chris didn't make small talk and went straight to the point.

"I can acquire your glass with 300ml of water, but how about you tell me the way to acquire it?"

The reply from the opposite side was quick, Chris Fang sent it and received a reply.

"I have a total of three pieces of blast glass in my hand, can you acquire them all?"

After seeing the message the other party replied, Chris frowned.

Three pieces of glass, 900ml of water.

It wasn't particularly much for Chris.

However, he preferred to get the means to be able to acquire the glass.

Seeing that Chris hadn't replied, the opposite party was probably a bit anxious.

It hurriedly sent another private message.

"Sir, three pieces of glass totaling 700ml, attach how I was able to obtain the glass, okay."

Her previous offer was 250ml a piece, three pieces would be 750ml.

Now quoting 700ml, the attitude was very obvious.

It was to curry favor.

Chris didn't resent such behavior either.

Didn't say much.

Directly took out 700ml of water from the iron bucket and deposited it into the system.

Clicked the trade button.

Three units of blast glass were instantly added to the warehouse.

"Thank you sir!"

The message from the opposite side came back quickly, and one could clearly feel a look of joy in the reply.

"So now can you tell me how you got the glass?"

"Yes, sir!"

"I found all this glass inside a relic."

"Relics?"

After hearing the words from the opposite side, Chris couldn't help but frown.

"What are relics?"

"I don't know either ...."

The opposite party laughed awkwardly, not answering Chris's doubts.

"Let me describe to you what happened to me, sir."

"This morning, I had just gotten up and walked out of the shelter when I saw some more buildings near the shelter."

"These buildings were not there yesterday, and they appeared overnight."

"A thick layer of fog surrounded these buildings, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside."

"Out of curiosity, I then plucked away the fog and prepared to explore inside."

"Just after passing through the fog, I realized that I had arrived in the middle of an unusually technologically advanced city."

"There are many different kinds of transportation here, all of which I have never seen before."

"However, there were a lot of fierce-looking monsters roaming the streets, and I was so scared that I hid in a small store by the side of the road."

"Luckily, there was no one inside the small store, and I hid inside for two hours."

"When the relic suddenly disappeared, I appeared outside."

"Probably because at the last moment, my hand touched the window of the small store, so it brought out the blast glass as well."

The opposite party told Chris all the encounters one by one.

Hearing the opposite party finish, Chris fell silent.

The encounter of the opposite party was indeed a bit outrageous.

However, Chris chose to believe it.

In such a post-apocalyptic game, whatever happened was acceptable.

Replying with a know, Chris closed the private chat with her.

After opening the regional chat and global chat, he searched for keywords with relics.

Surprisingly, there were really quite a few related chats!

Some of them had experiences similar to Belinda's, all of them waking up to find extra buildings near their shelters.

Curious, they walked in.

There were even people who had entered the ruins on their first day in the Endgame.

It was just that the number of people who had entered the ruins at this stage was still too few.

Even after searching some of the chat records that had something to say about the relics, it still didn't allow him to have a clearer perception of the relics.

Regarding the relics, Chris only knew two things right now.

The first thing was that the relics were randomly refreshed.

The second thing was that one could only survive in the relics for two hours, and after that time, one would be kicked out.

Moreover, there could be potential dangers in the relics.

For example, the hideous-faced monster that Belinda mentioned that roamed the streets.

As soon as I heard the description, I knew that it was definitely not a good thing.

After looking through the chat logs a few more times and realizing that there really wasn't any useful information.

Chris closed the system interface and removed the blast glass.

Right now, the shelter's lighting relied entirely on the torches.

By putting out the torches, not a single ray of light penetrated in.

Opening the skylight would be different!

Not only would they be able to enjoy natural light then, they could even sunbathe in the shelter!

Glass in hand, Chris created another stone spade.

Walking out of the shelter.

Coming to the top of the shelter, Chris measured the position.

Finally, it was in the very center of the top of the shelter.

Work began.

The significance of lighting was undoubtedly very important.

Not to mention how much living in a gloomy environment all the time would affect one's psychology.

Sufficient sunlight not only brings pleasure to people psychologically, but also has great benefits to the human body.

Through the sunlight, can promote the production of vitamin D in the body, but also can eliminate some of the body of the flu virus.

Increase the body's immunity.

More importantly, with lighting, the shelter will not be as gloomy and damp as before.

Only, if the lighting is to be done, it must be done well.

There's no problem with the strength of the glass, but make sure you get the waterproofing right.

In a few days, the acid rain arrived.

If the rainwater seeped in through the skylight, it would be disastrous!

While thinking, Chris was digging hard.

Soon, the mound of earth around his feet was more than thirty centimeters high.

Through the hole dug out, Chris also saw the exposed ceiling of the shelter.

Only, how to install the explosion-proof glass became a problem.

The shelter was automatically generated by the system, and the wooden ceiling was one piece.

Punching holes to install the glass by himself rashly would most likely cause the shelter to collapse!

After thinking for a while, Chris suddenly had an idea.

After taking the blast glass out of the warehouse, he placed it in the hole dug out according to its position.

This is a skylight, this is a skylight, this is a skylight .....

After Chris said a few silent words in his mind.

"Enhanceable item detected: skylight (ordinary)"

"Introduction: an unusually simple skylight with very poor light-gathering and almost zero waterproofing."

"Evolution branch 1: Functional evolution: on the basis of the original, the construction process of the skylight is strengthened, with good light-gathering and excellent waterproofing after evolution. Required evolution points: 15."

"Evolution branch 2: Material evolution: on the basis of the functional evolution, increase the toughness of the skylight, so that the skylight is able to withstand heavier weights and can insulate from temperature. Required evolution points: 25"

This time, neither of the two evolution branches was expensive.

Chris didn't hesitate and directly chose 2.

It only cost 10 more evolution points, but it was able to significantly strengthen the skylight.

How could he think of it as cost-effective.

As the Survival Points were consumed, the three pieces of blast-proof glass on the ground emitted a burst of white light.

It blended perfectly with the shelter's skylight.

Sunlight spread into the shelter along the transparent glass.

Chris had the intention to test the strength of the skylight, so he pointed his foot at the skylight and gently tested it twice.

The skylight did not move at all.

Emboldened, Chris stood straight up and even bounced slightly on the skylight a few times.

The sunroof still didn't do anything at all.

Chris's face immediately revealed an expression of surprise.

Receiving the stone spade in his hand into the storage, Chris quickly returned to the shelter and took out about 20ml of well water.

He came back to the side of the skylight.

This 20ml of fresh water was to test the waterproof performance of the skylight.

In a couple days, the horrible acid rain would arrive.

It was necessary to ensure the waterproofing of the shelter!

This matter was exceptionally important!

Right now, the water resources in Chris's hand were quite a lot, but they were definitely not considered generous.

To be able to take out 20ml of fresh water for testing was already a very extravagant thing.

Dropping 20ml of fresh water onto the skylight, Chris carefully let the water beads keep advancing on the joints of the skylight.

And, it was also necessary to ensure that the water droplets would not deviate from the track and be absorbed by the soil next to it.

After spending half an hour, he finally verified it!

The skylight was watertight and foolproof!

With the skylight constructed, Chris redirected his gaze to the shelter.

The more he looked, the more he felt that his shelter was unusually simple.

Moreover, the walls of the shelter now, both the ceiling and the floor.

It was still all wooden boards.

Wooden boards had one disadvantage, and that was that they were poorly waterproof.

And it's also easy to absorb water.

If in a couple of days, acid rain came down.

The wooden shelter alone would never be able to defend itself!

No, the material of the shelter must be upgraded!

Chris returned to the shelter with a heavy face and touched his hand to the wooden wall.

Perhaps it was because he had been thinking of strengthening the shelter as a whole.

The option to strengthen the shelter as a whole popped up.

"Reinforcement object: unusually simple shelter (ordinary)"

"Introduction: a very rudimentary shelter with unusually poor waterproofing, medium insulation, and extremely poor earthquake resistance."

"Optional evolution branch 1: Functional expansion: you can expand your shelter, either downward or outward, strengthening consumes Survival Points: 250"

"Optional Evolution Branch 2: Material Reinforcement: You can choose to reinforce the material of your shelter to stone, greatly improving waterproofing, heat preservation, pit town performance, and sound insulation. Reinforcement consumes Survival Points: 650"

Crap, that much?

650 Survival Points was definitely an astronomical amount for the current Chris!
