"Which one should I choose? Storage Space or Electric Heating?" After checking his Survival Points balance and finding that he had enough for both upgrades, Su Mo's thoughts became clear.

"With my current three cubic meters and the five cubic meters in the Earth Tiger, Storage Space is definitely more than enough, unless there were too many treasure chests before. Heating is something I absolutely need right now, so there's no need to hesitate at all!"

After trying to add to the existing items in the base and finding that they couldn't be reduced, Su Mo stopped thinking and declared loudly, "I choose upgrade direction three!"

As soon as he finished speaking, green light slowly emanated from his body, as if transforming into a pair of nimble hands.

The Combat Suit, which was originally woven extremely neatly, was dismantled into strands of green silk floating in the air almost instantly.

The green light transformed into hands, which began to hover in the air.

Under the guidance of the hands, all the threads, like soldiers, performed their duties according to orders.

"What an amazing method! This kind of upgrade feels much more real than conjuring up matter out of thin air!"

This upgrade process was extremely slow.

Lying on the Work Table, Su Mo quietly watched as the Combat Suit slowly took shape under his kneading.

The new textile methods completely overturned the fabric production methods of the Earth Age, and for a modern person's learning ability, it was as if a door to a new world had been opened.

"The key to perfect weaving is ensuring that each thread is in the right position, connecting them all so that each thread is linked to the others."

"This weaving method truly gives the clothes a soul!"

As the green hands trembled, the silk thread at the collar swayed, and the bottom silk thread swayed along with it.

The Combat Suit seemed to have become a living entity, no longer a dry, lifeless object.

In Su Mo's eyes, as the process came to an end, even though the green hands stopped trembling, the Combat Suit moved on its own without wind, as if it were radiating its own joy.

Three to five seconds later, the green hand retracted, and the new all-terrain adaptive Optical Combat Suit was complete!

The green light slowly shrank back into Su Mo's body, and the brand-new Combat Suit floating in the air lost its power source, falling onto the workbench with a thud.

Immediately, Su Mo picked up the Combat Suit Combat Suit and curiously examined its surface material.

"There's absolutely no trace of weaving; it looks as if it were created naturally, or rather, as if it grew out of the ground."

Touching the neatly Combat Suit uniform, Su Mo didn't check its attributes immediately for the first time, but instead picked it up and tried to wear it.

The new Combat Suit was quite heavy. After touching it, Su Mo found a palm-sized device at his waist.

Upon opening the collar, it was indeed a simple heating device.

The device works on a very simple principle, with a built-in battery, a small fan, and a highly efficient and safe heating rod.

Press the power button and select the desired setting, such as heating. The heating element and fan will then work, bringing warm air into your clothes to quickly raise your body temperature.

This technology is already a very cheap and common civilian facility on Earth; the small solar heater works on this principle.

However, no one dares to be so crazy as to apply this to clothing, and it's unclear how the system adjusted its working method to ensure safe use.

"Overall, the uniform is about two kilograms heavier than before. The current Combat Suit weighs about six and a half pounds, but it's not heavy without the armor!"

After getting dressed, Su Mo smacked his lips and tried to move around a bit more.

The new Combat Suit, like the previous one, not only didn't feel restrictive at all, but also gave me a sense of security.

After trying to move around quickly, the temperature inside the Combat Suit rose rapidly.

After pulling his collar tight and sitting on the stone bench, it took Su Mo more than ten minutes before he felt the heat inside his clothes slowly subside.

"It's also quite warm, much better than my hoodie, and the warmth doesn't feel stuffy; my body stays very dry and comfortable!"

After taking off his Combat Suit, finding a charging cable, and connecting it to a power strip, Su Mo began to examine the attributes.

[All-Terrain Optical Combat Suit (Superior)]

[Description]: An all-terrain Combat Suit capable of adapting to harsh low and high temperature environments. It possesses excellent properties such as moderate waterproofing, moderate gas protection, low Anti-Ultraviolet Infrared and infrared protection, moderate wind protection, and low warmth retention. The new fabric method gives it some special capabilities, which are more effective in certain environments.

[Special Ability]: Optical Invisibility: At certain angles, metamaterials with negative refractive index, and optical structures designed based on these materials, can bend light, thus achieving "optical invisibility".

Terrain Adaptation: When encountering harsh terrain and weather, the clothing will automatically adapt to the current terrain environment to a certain extent, slightly improving the corresponding characteristics of the clothing.

[Comment]: Now that you're in such a terrible situation, you don't know whether to revere the King Yama or the Jade Emperor!

"Excellent!"

"The system has actually upgraded to provide high-quality equipment!"

Staring in shock at the exquisite insignia on the Combat Suit and the two special attributes that had been extended, Su Mo was astonished!

Su Mo had already deeply understood the vast difference between excellent and superb through the objects he brought out of the ruins.

When it comes to items, the difference between fine and excellent is like heaven and earth.

Excellent means that an item stands out in a certain attribute, at least compared to other attributes, making that "point" obvious to people.

But "excellent" is different. "Excellent" represents an all-round improvement of an item. At first glance, it may not have any outstanding features, but in fact, every aspect is well-balanced, making it a leader among its kind.

Even after upgrading from Bouncy to a ground tiger, which cost a full 1800 Survival Points, it still couldn't break this barrier and upgrade to the excellent level.

Now, with just over 700 points, an item can be upgraded to the excellent level, giving Su Mo a feeling as if he had won the lottery.

"It must be this magical weaving method that changed the grading of Combat Suit. It seems there are still many things I don't know about the grading system."

"I just don't know how powerful the perfect, rare, or even epic legendary equipment will be!"

The thought that even the best equipment is this powerful, and the possibility of legendary equipment having dozens of attributes, made Su Mo feel dizzy.

By then, with the help of equipment, humans will likely possess power comparable to that of gods and demons.

"Work hard, and with my current pace of development, I definitely have a chance to live to see that day come!"

"At that time, let alone the lion-men of this world, we'll directly invade their world, kill their so-called Lion God, and use the spoils to bless my refuge!"

With a chuckle, Su Mo put away all his unrealistic fantasies and began packing the things he needed to take with him when he went out.

There aren't many tasks today. According to the plan, Su Mo intends to park the Earth Tiger in Deep Sea Shelter to lay low for a while.

Unless it's something urgent, he basically stays indoors all the time.

As for dealing with the upcoming Snow Disaster, with air conditioning and Electric Blanket, it shouldn't be a problem.

However, the reduced Survival Points provided by the system today served as a wake-up call for Su Mo.

"The system is indirectly urging me not only to survive, but to thrive and live a high-quality life; only in this way will I be rewarded with more Survival Points."

Therefore, it is also very necessary to renovate the underground base or construct some above-ground buildings.

In order to obtain the daily fixed reward, after looking at the materials in the Resource Warehouse, Su Mo decided to use his brain to make something and make some improvements.

While his equipment was charging, Su Mo returned to the living room and practiced the old-fashioned exercise his father had taught him, working up a good sweat.

The simple Military Boxing is not only effective against enemies, but also has the wonderful effect of improving physical fitness when each movement is performed correctly.

I did push-ups and burpees, which slowed down the wind in the shelter. As the heat from Su Mo dissipated, I didn't feel cold at all; instead, I felt quite refreshed.

Su Mo practiced for a full hour before stopping.

Sitting on the stone bench, he scooped out half a ladle of Psionic Water from the water tank, gulped it down, and his strength quickly recovered.

"Two days have passed, and my strength hasn't changed noticeably. It seems it must be related to the ruins."

Without any instruments to measure force, Su Mo could only resort to the most primitive methods.

By lifting objects to judge strength, Su Mo only felt the limit of his strength after lifting a 180-pound Iron Block in the previous test.

"The maximum lifting strength is 90 kilograms, which is far from enough to compare with the Lishi and boxers on Earth, but it's a huge improvement over what I had before I transmigrated here!"

Touching the bulging muscles on his arm, Su Mo smiled knowingly and took off his hoodie, holding it in his hand.

A strong wind blew by, like a hairdryer, and in less than a minute, when Su Mo put it on, the hoodie had become very cool and refreshing.

The battery of the all-terrain Combat Suit charging next to me doesn't look big, but its capacity is astonishing. It took a full three hours to charge and it's still not fully charged.

Other electric equipment, however, has already received the green light.

After checking the sky and the time, Su Mo stopped waiting, unplugged the plug, and began to put on his gear one by one, ready to go out!
