Success Comes Naturally! Luxurious Rewards!

After finishing his meal, Su Mo grabbed his shovel and rushed outside. It was 10:00 AM wasteland time, and the working man Su Mo was on time for work.

Perhaps it was due to the newbie protection period, but the wild animals weren't quite so crazy yet.

After scanning the area, he still couldn't find any Mutated Creatures near the base today.

"What a pity, I thought I could receive a package today."

Mutated Beasts, which others feared like tigers, had become packages to Su Mo.

It had to be said that in the apocalypse, as long as you could change your mindset, it would have a unique flavor.

Standing on the small hill of the Shelter, Su Mo looked out, still seeing desolation and vastness.

Days of exposure had turned the slightly green turf into a scorched yellow.

Stepping into the shrubbery he had been cutting down, the place where he had encountered the Chameleon had been swept away by the noisy wind of the plains at night.

Apart from being slightly messy, there was no obvious indication that a battle had once taken place here.

Taking out the Iron Axe, Su Mo began to chop trees.

Wood was very cheap in the trading market; even 100ml of water could be exchanged for dozens of units of wood.

However, Su Mo's purpose was not there.

Like a certain shadow ninja in Earth, even after having chakra, one still had to start with the basics of climbing trees and walking on water to train the application of chakra.

Su Mo's current behavior was like this.

Controlling the axe, with each swing, Su Mo was pursuing the ultimate precision.

Controlling the force, with each strike, Su Mo was pursuing controlling the power within a certain range, neither too large nor too small.

"Even if I have Thermal Weapons, in this world, it's inevitable that I'll have to engage in close combat with people."

The more he wanted to control it, the more Su Mo truly felt the difficulty.

"I don't have the power to break all laws with one force like in fantasy novels, so I can only pursue speed and precision. The key is to strike vital points, the movements must be fast, the force must be sufficient, and the accuracy must be precise."

Looking at the much neater cut marks on the second half-height small tree that fell compared to the first, Su Mo had a trace of understanding.

"Blocking is not as good as dodging, dodging is not as good as attacking first. Before attacking, you must be like chopping trees, thinking about where to chop for greater efficiency. If I can solve the enemy before they attack, I won't have to worry about not having professional training and not being able to dodge those attacks!"

The more Su Mo thought about it, the more precise the force of the axe in his hand became.

In less than an hour, he was already able to maintain the force and accuracy within a large range.

At this time, the wood had accumulated to 20 units, and the plant fiber to 8 units.

Returning to the base, he drank a few mouthfuls of cold water, and after sending a portion to Oreo, who was on duty patrolling the area, Su Mo began to consider designing the drainage.

There were no sewage treatment pipes in the Shelter yet, and going to the toilet was done outdoors, so for the time being, there was no need to consider how to connect the Shelter's sewage.

The Shelter slightly changed the terrain of the hill after being placed.

It became a gentle slope design.

According to common sense, there would be basically no normal drainage problems.

However, this kind of terrain was most prone to forming depressions. In the event of heavy rain, lake-like water accumulation would form under the foundation of the Shelter. Over time, the humidity and water pressure would damage the structural stability of the Shelter.

What's more, Acid Rain would corrode the surrounding landforms, making them barren and unfavorable for the subsequent development of the base.

"A simple drainage ditch is not enough. I need to dig a terrain that can divert the water all at once, preferably to a place four or five hundred meters away."

After roughly planning the path in his mind, Su Mo began to work.

Fortunately, the shovel created by the game panel in this world had a certain auxiliary effect, and a piece of land could be lifted with just a little force.

Even so, it took three or four hours until dusk to dig the drainage ditch more than fifty meters away.

The three drainage ditches, like scratch marks, were crooked and loose without cement concrete to fix them.

But the effect was certain.

Calling out the survival system in his heart, Su Mo fixed his eyes on the dug-out drainage ditch.

[Simple Drainage Facility]

Upgrade Direction 1: Reinforce the facility and change the material to greatly improve drainage efficiency, requires survival points (150)

Upgrade Direction 2: Use underground buried pipe drainage, which is more efficient, more concealed, and less prone to damage, requires survival points (550)

Introduction: Don't think about using this drainage ditch to drift around corners, I guarantee you'll get stuck! 'Try putting in one unit of stone to see'

Looking at the two options given by the system, Su Mo took out one unit of stone and piled it on the drainage ditch.

Sure enough, Upgrade Direction 1 given by the system reduced the requirement by 3 points.

The description also changed to:

Upgrade Direction 1: Use stone reinforcement to increase drainage efficiency, increase durability, and make it less susceptible to corrosion, requires survival points (147)

There are a full 200 units of stone in the backpack, this stuff is cheap, and Su Mo doesn't feel bad about it.

After placing a full 47 units of stone in increments of 10 and 20 units, the system's demand for survival points no longer changed with the increase in stone.

It was fixed at 9 points.

"Choose Upgrade Direction 1!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a green light radiated from Su Mo's body, fusing the forty-odd units of stone with the drainage ditch.

Starting from Su Mo's feet, the originally soft and muddy drainage ditch began to show traces of stone.

With each sweep of the green light back and forth, more and more stone appeared in the soil.

After three to five seconds, a stone drainage ditch!

Done!

The gray-black rock drainage ditch looked neat and orderly, like the Great Wall on the barren land, which was shocking.

The complete stone surface seemed to be paved by a machine, and there was no trace of artificial excavation. The whole was like a natural creation.

The more Su Mo looked at it, the happier he became.

"Detected that the player has a probability of passing the first natural disaster exceeding 99%, and is the only player in the world to achieve this achievement"

"Obtained one lottery chance."

Standing on the small hill overlooking the distance, Su Mo felt doubly happy and quickly opened the game panel to check.

At this time, behind the functions of the azure blue game panel, there was a new colorful and shiny function - Lottery.

"I didn't expect digging a drainage ditch to have this kind of achievement, I knew I would have dug it out on the first day"

Looking at the lottery turntable in front of him, Su Mo stared intently.

The turntable is divided into five areas: Pets, blueprints, tools, props, and resources.

"There is no 'Thank you for your patronage', this is definitely not a game developed by the Old Ma family"

All five options are extremely useful.

With Oreo first, and now with sufficient resources, even if he draws a pet, Su Mo doesn't mind having one more mouth to feed, and directly presses the lottery button.

The initial speed of the turntable was very fast, but as time went on, it inevitably slowed down, and the pointer finally stopped in the blueprint area.

Record: Congratulations to the player for drawing the Hunting Compound Crossbow Manufacturing Blueprint

As soon as the game panel prompt ended, a red glowing design drawing appeared in the inventory.

Hunting Compound Crossbow Manufacturing Blueprint: A ranged combat tool with a slow loading speed, high initial velocity, and considerable lethality. It is an essential tool for wilderness survival.

"It's actually a ranged weapon!"

Su Mo's eyes lit up.

He had the idea of making ranged weapons before the first battle.

It was just that this idea has been shelved because there was no good production direction and the scarcity of survival points.

I didn't expect to get a crossbow that is more advanced than a bow now.

The biggest difference between a bow and a crossbow lies in the accuracy.

The crossbow does not need to be aimed at the same time when drawing the string, so the requirements for the user are lower. Although the loading time is much longer than the bow, it generally has a longer range, stronger lethality, and higher hit rate than the bow. It is a high-power long-range killing weapon.

A bow given to a woman can only shoot twenty or thirty meters at most due to arm strength reasons.

But a crossbow is different. Once you learn how to use it, within fifty meters, you can basically hit whatever you aim at. The accuracy is frighteningly high.

After crushing the crossbow manufacturing blueprint, a stream of light merged into the game panel's manufacturing function.

Su Mo couldn't wait to open the manufacturing list.

He checked the material requirements for manufacturing a Hunting Compound Crossbow and crossbow bolts.

(Begging for recommendations, begging for favorites, please, this is really important to me, don't just say "next time"!) (Crying!)
