SWDnovel Chapter 2: The Infinite Upgrade System!
Chapter 2: The Infinite Upgrade System!
[Congratulations, host! The Infinite Upgrade System is now fully bound. You can upgrade resources simply by touching them. Note: Each resource can only be upgraded once!]
Upon hearing the voice in his mind, Lin Xuan was visibly startled.
An infinite upgrade system?
Can you upgrade resources by touching them?
If this is true, then while others are working themselves to the bone searching for resources in this game, wouldn't he be cheating?
He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then focused his attention on the bread in his hand.
Although the notification sounds kept ringing in my head, I still had to give it a try.
He touched the shriveled bread in front of him again.
A light blue notification immediately appeared in front of me.
[The bread (of poor quality) can be upgraded to: ten slices of French toast. Upgrade?]
"Ten slices of French toast?"
Lin Xuan's eyes lit up, and without thinking, he clicked "confirm."
The previously deflated bread instantly transformed into ten steaming hot French toasts, still emitting wisps of steam.
Lin Xuan swallowed hard.
He had lived for twenty-two years and had never tasted bread so delicious.
But instead of eating, he quickly picked up the bottle of murky water.
[The murky (inferior) water can be upgraded to: ten bottles of purified water. Upgrade?]
"upgrade!"
Lin Xuan confirmed again,
The murky water in front of them vanished instantly, replaced by ten clean bottles of mineral water.
He immediately unscrewed the cap and took a sip.
It's cool and sweet, with no unpleasant odor.
"Cool!"
He then repeated the process, upgrading all the remaining shriveled bread and murky water.
Just like that, in less than three minutes,
Two shriveled loaves of bread and two bottles of murky water were transformed into twenty steaming hot French toasts and twenty bottles of clear, pure water.
"With these, we shouldn't have to worry about food for a while!"
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, then stored all the food and water in his hands into his storage space.
This unlimited storage space is more convenient than I imagined; with a thought, the item goes in.
With another movement, the thing came out again.
After doing all this, Lin Xuan brought up the game panel again.
Now that he has this unlimited upgrade system, he needs to rethink his plans.
His initial goal was to find as many supplies as possible.
But now things are different. With this infinite upgrade system, he no longer needs to frantically scavenge like a rat hoarding food.
Instead, we should prepare for our own safety.
The game had previously warned that roads are much more dangerous at night than during the day.
Although it's unclear what the dangers at night are, upgrading the vehicle is definitely the right thing to do!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Three things are needed to upgrade a vehicle.
The first priority is upgrading the core, followed by steel and wood.
He currently has none of these three items, so upgrading his vehicle is truly a long and arduous task!
However, he wasn't that pessimistic.
At least with this unlimited upgrade system, he had no shortage of resources in the early stages.
In this respect, they are already far ahead of other players!
Just then, that familiar game notification sound came again.
"Full-screen chat is now enabled!"
Players are welcome to speak freely in the channel; inappropriate comments will be deleted!
Note: In addition to chatting, you can also trade within this channel!
As soon as he finished speaking, a light blue screen appeared on the left side of the steering wheel.
A barrage of comments flew across the screen.
"Holy crap, where am I?"
"Damn it, I just bought a Mercedes, and after climbing a mountain it's turned into this beat-up dumpling!"
"Damn, I drank too much last night, how did I end up in this godforsaken place? Wait, where are my clothes? And my butt still hurts!"
"What kind of trash game is this? They only give each player a bottle of water and a loaf of bread at the start? How are we supposed to play this?"
"Bro, looks like you've never played Legend of Mir. You start with nothing but a dog, and all your equipment comes from grinding!"
"..."
Looking at the dense barrage of comments in front of him, Lin Xuan let out a long sigh of relief.
It seems that everyone except the elderly and children has joined this survival game.
He didn't continue reading.
According to the game's instructions, if you die in this game due to any unexpected event, then it's a real death.
The most important thing now is to upgrade the vehicle and survive!
"elder brother……"
Just then, a soft, sweet murmur came from the passenger seat.
Lin Xuan turned his head and saw Lin Xiaoxiao slumped in her chair, two faint blushes on her fair cheeks, as if she were having a sweet dream.
Lin Xuan stared at her for two seconds, then reached out and fastened her seatbelt.
"What sweet dream is this girl having now?"
After taking care of everything, Lin Xuan took a deep breath and turned the key.
With a roar like a tractor, the rickety bread cart finally started moving.
"I must say, this car has a pretty good acceleration feel; no wonder it was Chen Haonan's personal car back in the day!"
Lin Xuan gripped the steering wheel tightly, his gaze fixed on the road ahead.
The road in front of us is very wide and runs straight ahead.
But after driving forward for a long time, they still didn't see a single person.
Of the billions of people on Earth, he hadn't seen a single one on this road. It seemed this game world was much larger than he had imagined.
"It seems finding someone alive is still quite difficult!"
He pursed his lips, but just then, something dark on the road ahead caught his attention.
[A regular treasure chest has been found!]
Upon hearing the notification in his mind, Lin Xuan was overjoyed.
Looks like I'm pretty lucky; I found a treasure chest after only a short time.
Lin Xuan parked the car on the side of the road, quickly opened the door and got out, walking to the treasure chest.
Without the slightest hesitation, he opened the box in front of him.
A bottle of water (cloudy)
A piece of bread (of poor quality)
A piece of wood
[One upgrade core!]
"Upgrade the core?"
Upon seeing this item, Lin Xuan's heart tightened.
He remembered that the most crucial part of upgrading this beat-up bread cart was this upgrade core.
I never expected to find it in this small, ordinary treasure chest.
Although it requires ten, the quantity is not a problem at all in his eyes, given his "infinite upgrade system".
Thinking of this, he immediately reached out and touched the supplies in front of him.
[The host upgraded the "Upgrade Core" and obtained ten Upgrade Cores]
[The host upgrades a bottle of murky water, triggering a critical hit and gaining twenty bottles of pure water.]
[The host upgraded a piece of wood, triggering a critical hit and gaining thirty pieces of wood.]
[The host upgraded the inferior bread, triggering a critical hit and obtaining twenty chicken leg burgers]
