"Wind?"

Looking at the explanation on the shelter's attribute panel with surprise, Su Mo curiously opened his arms and shouted at the shelter's ceiling, "All winds, obey my command! Blow on Oreo's dog head!!!"

Splash! Splash! Splash! "Coo coo coo~"

"Woof~ woof woof woof" Oreo, sitting on the edge of the bed, rolled its eyes and barked a couple of times with a headache, seemingly not understanding why Su Mo was making noises like a shaman.

"Um, let's lighten the mood a bit, don't stare at me like that!"

Seeing the strange looks in the eyes of the Big and Little Spark, Su Mo quickly cleared his throat twice and changed his tone. "Ahem, the wind is even more turbulent today, we should get our act together!"

Having gained a wave of Survival Points and inherited the Lion God's Blessing, Su Mo simply turned off the Electric Blanket, put on his shoes, and got out of bed.

Without the heat source, he rushed into the living room, where a gust of cold wind made Su Mo sneeze repeatedly.

"If only all the cold air could flow slowly!"

Su Mo rubbed his palms together and muttered to himself.

However, the next second, the wind that had been darting around the shelter seemed to receive a command and its flow immediately slowed down.

Suddenly, Su Mo, who was shivering from the cold, felt a warmth, as if the shelter had warmed up immediately after the wind stopped.

"So that's how this wind control capability is used?"

Su Mo curiously stretched out his hand and fanned his face in the air.

The gentle breeze that would normally be generated by fanning one's palm is greatly reduced in speed by the wind control ability.

When the wind blew onto Su Mo's face, it felt like a tickle, almost imperceptible.

"Wow, this ability is ridiculously overpowered! So..."

"If only the wind could blow faster!"

As soon as the words were spoken, it seemed as if a tornado's eye appeared in the living room of the shelter.

This time, it's not Su Mo who's doing the voice acting.

Visibly, the wind speed in the base increased, as if a large fan was blowing, with the wind whistling back and forth.

"Stop, stop, stop! I wish the wind speed would return to normal!"

Su Mo, feeling chilled to the bone from the wind, quickly spoke up to stop the wind from flowing.

The winds generated by this extraordinary force can almost reach level six or seven, and they appear out of thin air, which is quite miraculous.

Just four or five seconds of wind can take away about one degree Celsius of temperature from the underground of the shelter—it's terrifying! "What amazing supernatural power! Although I can't touch it or control it, this feeling is so familiar, it's like..."

"Are you using voice-controlled smart furniture?"

Su Mo was both amused and exasperated upon reaching this conclusion.

This wind control capability is like having a giant central air conditioning system installed in the base; the air can be turned on or off as soon as the words are spoken.

As for the person controlling them, apart from making a sound, they are completely unlike those in movies who can perceive their own extraordinary power.

"Sigh, my power is only at level one right now, so I can't be too greedy. Maybe if I can find more lion-men to fleece later, I can raise this level!"

The thought of the lion-men possibly being chased by kobolds and running around made Su Mo chuckle.

Stepping under the ventilation duct and watching the air slowly flow downwards, Su Mo tried to say, "It would be great if there was more air coming down from the ventilation duct!"

No sooner had he spoken than Su Mo's words, like a bamboo pole, stirred up a hornet's nest.

The air, which had been slowly flowing in, seemed to be summoned and surged wildly into the shelter through the narrow pipes.

The wind was so strong that it even created a wailing sound similar to ghosts crying.

A stronger gust of wind than the range hood rushed in through the pipes, and standing under the vent, Su Mo felt as if he were in an ice cellar.

A wisp of moisture carried by the cold wind swept over me and hit my face.

Su Mo, who was still a little sleepy, immediately declared that he was awake!

"It would be great if no airflow came down the ventilation ducts!"

As before, the extremely strong wind suddenly stopped, as if a barrier glass had been closed, and not a single wisp of wind could be let in.

The amazing control experience makes Su Mo want to play.

After trying various methods to control it for more than an hour, Su Mo finally figured out the general way to use this wind control ability.

The current functionality is simple. Su Mo opened his journal and began to record. "Distance Limitation: The wind control ability can currently only be used inside the shelter, and its maximum extension is behind the main gate. Outside the main gate, it has no effect."

"Wind speed: The current maximum wind speed is about 12-13 meters per second, which is roughly between level 6 and level 7. It is unrealistic to expect it to have enough destructive power. The minimum wind speed cannot be detected at the moment."

"How to use: It would be great if the wind speed could be XX!"

"Usage environment: Range hood (with adjustable airflow direction and localized airflow intensity), hair dryer, air conditioner, exhaust fan, dryer, blower, vacuum cleaner"

"Its practical value remains to be seen and requires long-term observation before it can be used effectively; it is currently unknown!"

After clapping his hands and meticulously recording all the tests, Su Mo turned off the Game Panel with a thought.

Overall, this superpower is still quite useful in the current weather.

Especially after the wind speed was reduced, the temperature inside the shelter rose significantly.

As for its other uses, we need to explore and use them gradually to find the best application combinations.

After warming up by stretching his body a bit, Su Mo went to the equipment room, took out his Combat Suit, and placed it on the Work Table.

"The system can't directly upgrade my current clothes and shoes, so the only way to improve their warmth is to work on this Combat Suit!"

It's so cold. If you go out in a hoodie, Sweatpants, or sneakers these days, you'll be frozen solid in the sub-zero temperatures in less than ten minutes.

In case of danger, even if you upgrade by then, your stiff body won't be able to exert much combat power. It's better to upgrade and modify it now.

With focused attention, the attributes of the Combat Suit appeared before Su Mo's eyes.

[Optical Combat Suit (Excellent)]

[Description]: A high-performance Combat Suit with excellent waterproof, anti-toxic, and Anti-Ultraviolet Infrared properties, as well as slight windproof and heat insulation effects.

[Special Ability]: Optical Invisibility (At a certain angle, a metamaterial with negative refractive index, and an optical structure designed based on this material, can bend light, thus achieving "optical invisibility") [Upgrade Direction 1]: Combat Direction: Improve the material of the Combat Suit, add high-strength nylon material, add some resistance to slashing and stabbing, add some comfort, increase material density, enhance some wind resistance, requires Survival Points (420)

[Upgrade Direction Two]: Stealth Direction: Improve the material of the Combat Suit, increase the material density, greatly improve wind resistance, add a waterproof coating to prevent water molecules from entering and keep it dry, add pockets to provide some Storage Space, requires Survival Points (1800).

[Upgrade Direction 3]: All-Terrain Adaptation Direction: Improve the material of the Combat Suit, comprehensively upgrade and modify the fabric of the Combat Suit, adopt more advanced textile technology, slightly improve the wearing experience, moderately improve windproof and waterproof properties, add electric (heating/cooling) devices, requires Survival Points (740).

"As expected, the more times something is upgraded, the better the upgrade direction it provides. It's very likely that there will be four or five directions in the future. And just like the last upgrade of the Bouncy, it even provided an overall direction. The system is becoming more and more intelligent!"

He patted the layer of dust off his Combat Suit, directed the breeze to carry all the dust to a corner, and looked at the three directions given by the system, Su Mo fell into deep thought.

The first one is definitely not the best choice; adding combat direction to the Combat Suit is completely unnecessary.

In the early game, avoid melee combat if possible, and in the mid-to-late game, avoid melee combat altogether if possible.

After all, close combat means exposure and risk. You have to face enemies hiding in the shadows, and if you're not careful, you risk dying.

As for the second and third directions, the specific difference is that the second one places more emphasis on functionality.

Based on the system's previous prompts, Su Mo knew without a doubt that the added Storage Space would be the same as the Storage Space in the Earth Tiger, allowing him to retrieve items using his mind.

Although this space may not be as large as the Earth Tiger, even just one or two cubic meters can provide very tangible benefits.

The third direction is to strengthen the aspect of adaptation.

Su Mo was particularly envious of the electric heating device.

In this kind of weather, you can heat up your clothes with a simple press, which can be a lifesaver in a critical moment!
