"Three upgrade paths? Looks like the workbench is the most promising upgradeable item in the entire base."
Su Mo carefully examined the pros and cons of the three upgrade paths, thoughts colliding in his mind.
"The workbench was originally supposed to be of ordinary quality, but after I added two excellent-quality item components, it directly reached excellent quality."
"If the items manufactured directly through the game panel are qualityless, then anything that can be made on the workbench should at least have a quality rating—in this case, excellent quality. I wonder if it'll gain any special abilities."
"Even if I use the system to raise the workbench's attributes to perfect quality, perhaps even a shovel I casually make will at least be of perfect quality!"
Having figured this out, Su Mo was overjoyed. He hurriedly brought over one unit of wood and one unit of iron block.
Of all the items, the iron axe looked like the easiest to make. He only needed to saw a piece off the iron block, somehow hammer it into an iron plate, and attach it to the wooden stick to make a "passable" iron axe.
Su Mo went to the shelter's Energy Room, connected the generator first, and switched the shelter's power supply to the generator after ensuring that its output was stable.
Cutting and welding with the Mechanical Arm would inevitably consume a great deal of power. Relying on a 400 amp-hour Lithium Iron Battery definitely wouldn't be enough.
After scanning once with the Monster Compendium and connecting to the television to investigate the area within one kilometer of the shelter, Su Mo confirmed that there were no enemies nearby. He relaxed, put on the raincoat, and went to the workbench.
The workbench, constructed entirely of wood and iron blocks, looked incredibly heavy.
