Chapter 187: Gold [Luxury Card] Removed, Powerful [Safehouse Editor] Function
The moment Yu Yuan made his choice, the scroll in his hand vanished.
The exterior of the Treadmill Generator Room was enveloped by a layer of green light.
The enhancement time was one hour!
Seeing the time displayed on the virtual light screen, Yu Yuan paid it no further mind.
Instead, he began checking the sales status of those equipment pieces in the auction house.
Perhaps due to his previous low-price auctions, or maybe because the player base was simply too large.
Although not much time had passed since they were listed, three-quarters of the previously listed equipment had already been sold.
All were sold via the buyout price mode.
Yu Yuan withdrew all the survival points. After deducting the 5% handling fee, he directly received 1.52 million survival points.
His total survival points now reached 3.64 million.Only 360,000 more survival points were needed to reach 4 million!
Right at that moment, the sales list on the auction house refreshed again.
Three more pieces of equipment disappeared, including that Rare-tier weapon priced at 210,000.
He gained another 380,000 survival points. After deducting 19,000 in fees.
His survival points had already reached 4 million.
Looking at the number on the virtual light screen, Yu Yuan hesitated no longer and immediately opened the Fate Cards page.
[Consume 4 million survival points to expand the shelter?]
(Note: This act of luxury can eliminate one Gold-quality [Fate Card - Luxury])
——[Yes]
The moment Yu Yuan made his choice, the 4 million survival points on the virtual light screen instantly vanished. In his ears echoed once again the clear sound effect of a card snapping and that exotic BGM.
[Fate Card – Gold-grade Luxury Card successfully eliminated. Fate Points +5]
[Shelter area successfully expanded. Usable area +2000㎡. Shelter Editing function unlocked.]
[Detected a valuable option. Convert? Requires 5 Fate Points.]
——[Yes]
Yu Yuan made the choice again. This was his first encounter with a value conversion requiring 5 Fate Points, so he wouldn't miss it.
As 5 Fate Points were deducted, a card shimmering with golden light appeared before Yu Yuan. On the card was a pattern depicting a corner of a house.
[Empty Room]
Quality: Gold-grade
Function: After use, can construct a Safe House with an area of 1000㎡. This Safe House can be considered an auxiliary shelter, sharing the [Shelter Facility Management Log], [Shelter Resource Management Log], [Defensive Facility Management Log], and [Shelter Editing] functions with the main shelter.
Yu Yuan looked at the information on the virtual light screen.
"Auxiliary shelter!"
There was a card like this?
He was already extremely surprised that the shelter expansion had added 2000 square meters of area.
Increasing the area to this extent was truly somewhat exaggerated.
But he never expected an even bigger surprise to be this Gold-grade [Empty Room].
A second shelter location was something Yu Yuan had never heard of before.
"A second shelter, and a Safe House at that, allowing direct travel back and forth using the Escape Key."
Yu Yuan understood the immense value of this card all too well. Used well, it held limitless possibilities for the future.
"This card can't be used casually. I must plan its use carefully!"
Afterwards, Yu Yuan looked at the newly added [Shelter Editing] function. This was a function that appeared after completing the Gold-grade [Luxury Card] task, so it definitely wouldn't be simple.
A virtual map appeared on the virtual light screen, showing precisely the structural map of the civil defense shelter level he was in and the sewer.
[Please edit and design your shelter!]
In the top right corner of the virtual map, there was also a line of numbers – Editable area: 2000㎡.
There were also expansion options for forward, backward, left, right, up, and down.
Now Yu Yuan could expand his shelter in any direction.
If he chose horizontal expansion, it would directly extend the current shelter in the chosen direction.
If he chose upward or downward expansion, it would add shelter levels above or below for expansion.
He could also choose the size of the expansion area and could adjust the positions of shelter facilities or rebuild them, all quite clear and straightforward.
Yu Yuan examined the situation on the virtual map. The [Endless Cold Wave] was about to arrive.
Developing downward was the wisest choice.
Furthermore, the shelter's location was far from the sewer. Below the civil defense shelter level was mostly solid soil, so there were no concerns.
"When the cold wave arrives, the sewer and civil defense shelter level are very likely to become gathering places for survivors, scavengers, and wandering survivors. Facing death, they won't care about the environment here. Using the defensive facilities in the civil defense shelter level as a risk isolation zone is sufficient..."
Based on the principles of vertical layering, horizontal zoning, and flexible reservation, Yu Yuan quickly had a general plan.
First, he increased the area of the first level from 60 square meters to 100 square meters by extending it backward.
This wouldn't affect the passageway and defensive facilities in front of the shelter within the civil defense shelter level.
If the three major defensive facilities in the civil defense shelter level – [Flamethrower], [Spike Trap], and [Pit Trap] – were the risk isolation zone dealing with external threats, responsible for isolating the shelter from the outside world.
Then the first level would be the shelter's internal risk protection zone. Resources and equipment brought back from outside would be sorted, processed, cleaned, and disinfected here, not directly entering the core living area.
This would avoid contaminating the living area.
The [Mandatory Decontamination Room] and [Containment Room] would both be built here. Equipment cleaning would also take place here later.
Coupled with the existing [Security], [Surveillance Network Control Console], [Escape Door], [Indoor Shooting Range], and [Warehouse], this basically met Yu Yuan's needs.
Resources retrieved from each expedition would also be placed here for inspection, classification, sorting, and finally sent into the warehouse.
As for the [Treadmill Generator Room] as an energy facility, after thinking it over, Yu Yuan decided to temporarily place it here as well. Later, when he had other server room equipment, he could carve out a new dedicated equipment server room level at the very bottom of the shelter.
Among these, the [Indoor Shooting Range], [Warehouse], and [Treadmill Generator Room] all possessed their own additional space. The yet-to-be-built [Containment Room] also had its own space, so they wouldn't occupy the area of Level 1. 100㎡ was temporarily sufficient.
For the second level, Yu Yuan planned to allocate 400㎡ to transform it into an experiment and sample analysis zone.
The [Spiritual Creature Laboratory] and [Genetic Modification Laboratory] were just the beginning. He still hadn't checked those computer mainframes brought back from the Freedom Tower Blood Lab.
In the future, any captured experimental creatures would be held in the Level 1 [Containment Room]. When experiments were needed, they could be taken directly from there, avoiding contamination of the lower living area.
Any future facilities related to experiments obtained would be built here, forming a complete experimental functional zone.
Yu Yuan defined the third level as the core living area, temporarily planning out 200 square meters.
Facilities like the [Rest Area], [Bathroom], [Kitchen], [Workbench], [Magazine Display Stand], and [Water Collector] would all be moved here.
As for the mealworm breeding boxes, hydroponic planting racks, Nizi Water Arrow Turtle incubator, green algae cultivation tank, Crazy Planting Trough, and the seven Cree Mountain sheep in the outer passage, Yu Yuan intended to place them on the fourth level.
This level was defined by Yu Yuan as the planting, breeding, and ecological cycle zone – the underground ecological farm.
Of course, this level was currently just a concept, but it represented Yu Yuan's genuine hope for the future.
He longed for this level to become a true underground ecological farm in the future.
He'd also start with 200㎡ for now, adding more later if needed.
Thus, 1160 square meters of vacant area remained, awaiting future planning.
It had to be said.
Although the cost of breaking the Gold-grade [Luxury Card] was enormous.
When you paid, it really delivered!
Moreover, the spatial expansion didn't require providing additional construction materials, which was quite convenient.
In an instant, the shelter transformed from its previous cramped, barely-sufficient dwelling into a veritable large mansion.
The [Shelter Editing] function was simply invincibly powerful.
Couldn't use it all up, simply couldn't use it all up.
