Fleshweb Bone Nest (Part 2)

Bai Yi entered the Modification Room.

From the log, he learned that the Modification Room had been created by integrating basic alchemy.

The room was not large. Inside, there was only a screen, an operating table, and a medical pod, all made of flesh and bone.

Text scrolled across the screen, introducing its functions to Bai Yi.

[High-Quality Organ Fusion]: The Digestion Room will extract high-quality organs from living creatures and fuse them with the shelter. After fusion, the shelter will possess those organs.

Current organ slots: 4/5 (A maximum of five types of organs can be fused. Organs may be removed at any time.)

Fused: Eyes (rotting corpse), ears (rotting corpse), nose (rotting corpse), mouth (mutant rotting corpse).

The moment Bai Yi finished reading, the shelter eagerly began showing off these new organs.

Countless eyes, noses, ears, and mouths emerged from the walls and floor.

All the eyes opened, their eyeballs rolling restlessly back and forth. The mouths opened and closed as well, letting out the same shrieks as that rotting corpse.

[You witnessed an extremely bizarre room. Sanity -15]

Bai Yi could not describe just how shocking the bizarre scene before him was. At the very least, he himself had been thoroughly shocked.

"Stop! Stop! From now on, don't display new organs without my permission!"

Bai Yi roared. If he had not known this was his own shelter, he would have drawn his blade and charged out just now.

Once everything returned to normal, he continued reading.

[Basic Body Modification]: The genes of creatures that enter the Digestion Room will be recorded. In addition, physical modifications may be performed. (Enhancement up to +12.) (This function consumes Flesh and Bone.)

[Basic Medical Treatment]: Treats a creature's body without modifying it. (Treatment through basic flesh technology.)

These functions were incredibly powerful. It meant Bai Yi no longer had to fear getting injured—he could treat himself!

He felt as though his emotions had been on a wild ride today. Earlier, he had been deeply worried about the increased difficulty after the system update, but now, he was thrilled by the shelter's upgrade.

At that moment, Bai Yi looked forward even more to the remaining facilities.

The Digestion Room was more like an assembly line—dismemberment, extraction, digestion, and transport, all in one. Bai Yi gave it a quick look and moved on.

The Storage Room was the former warehouse, except its capacity had expanded to 5,000. The Water Storage Room was newly added. It was completely empty, aside from a little water.

Bai Yi estimated that if the Water Storage Room were full, it would provide enough water for one man and one wolf to use normally for around three months. It was already quite large.

The kitchen had only a single service window. The screen at the window allowed him to select the corresponding food. (Meat products only.)

Bai Yi selected "beef-flavored steak." Before long, a steaming plate of steak was handed out through the window.

When the blade gently sliced through the steak's caramel-colored crisp crust, rich juices seeped out like amber, spreading an enticing sheen across the bottom of the bone plate.

The aroma of grilled meat rose into the air. Inside, the meat displayed a gradient salmon-pink color, with fine marbling patterns scattered throughout its texture.

Bai Yi took a bite. The first thing his tongue met was the faintly bitter charred fragrance of the crisp crust, followed by meat as smooth and soft as velvet. Its concentrated meaty flavor bloomed layer by layer as he chewed, ending with the mineral-rich savory saltiness of sea salt. The aftertaste lingered endlessly in his throat.

"Ah! Delicious!"

Bai Yi did not know how long it had been since he had eaten something so intoxicatingly delicious. Tears slid down his cheeks. He absolutely loved this shelter!

"Wait?" Amid his bliss, Bai Yi suddenly thought, "Where did this place get beef?"

He set down the plate and carefully read the screen.

"Beef-flavored... steak..."

Bai Yi suddenly understood. "So it's beef-flavored. That's what I thought—where would this place get any beef..."

His voice abruptly stopped. Bai Yi had a bad feeling as he looked at the steak, perfect in color, aroma, and taste.

"If it isn't beef, then..."

With a grim expression, he opened the log.

[Current Flesh: 1039/1000, Bone: 1020/1000]

!!!!!!

"ORA ORA ORA ORA—"

Bai Yi unleashed a frenzied barrage of punches at the flesh wall, his lightning-fast fists pounding it without pause.

"You bastard! You actually dared feed me rotting corpse meat!"

The flesh kept writhing. Two rolled-back eyes and a mouth that constantly spat drool appeared on its surface.

At the dining table behind him, Little White had already followed the scent to the steak. The alluring aroma made copious saliva gather at the corners of Little White's mouth.

"Little White, you can't eat that!"

Just as Little White was about to take a bite, Bai Yi reached out to stop him. He then snatched away the steak and stuffed it into his own mouth.

"I'm not done eating yet. If you want some, go pick your own."

"Who cares what kind of meat it is? As long as I don't see it and it tastes good!"

"Awwooo!"

After eating his fill, Bai Yi planned to take a look at the second floor.

He rode his chair to the staircase. Just as he was about to stand up and climb the stairs, an eyestalk tentacle stopped him.

After it wiggled its eye at him, the stairs before him suddenly transformed. The steps vanished, replaced by an inclined escalator like those in Earth's malls.

And so, Bai Yi continued upward while sitting comfortably. The fine tentacles on the chair's backrest wriggled in a steady rhythm.

"This is incredible. This chair even has a massage function!"

Bai Yi could not help but marvel.

The second floor was small, with only a bedroom and a bathroom.

The bedroom was just an ordinary bedroom—a bed of flesh and blood, and nothing else.

The bathroom, on the other hand, was rather smart. Above the sink was a polished, gleaming white bone serving as a mirror.

The toilet was also made of white bone, except its seat was warm flesh. At the very bottom of the toilet was an eye. When it saw Bai Yi approach, the lid and seat automatically opened.

After he finished using the bathroom, tentacles would grow from the inner walls of the toilet and clean it automatically.

"Oh!"

Bai Yi's eyes widened. He had never experienced such an intelligent toilet before.

The waste was sent directly underground through pipes, becoming nourishment for the plants. It was extremely eco-friendly.

Because most of the rooms were on the first floor, the villa looked top-heavy at the bottom and narrow at the top.

Bai Yi rearranged the layout. The first floor became the storage room, water storage room, and kitchen. The second floor became the modification room, workshop, and bedroom.

Bai Yi set up two bathrooms, one of them on the first floor.

The Wishing Well was moved to the first-floor hall, while Bai Yi stuffed the recycling bin into the digestion room.

During this time, Bai Yi tried to have the shelter recycle the two corpses of the Shadow of a Thousand Throats, only to be told that they were not flesh and could not be recycled.

So, he tossed the corpses into the recycling bin and received 2 Misty Coins.

Bai Yi tried out every function and was very satisfied.

Especially the medical pod. Lying inside it was even more comfortable than lying in bed, so Bai Yi simply dismantled the bed and specially made another medical pod for the bedroom.

At the same time, Bai Yi learned that operating all the facilities in the shelter consumed flesh and bone points, though they could be replenished with biological corpses.

With everything ready, Bai Yi nodded in satisfaction and opened the log. He intended to keep his promise and join Wang Ziyi's team.

While Bai Yi was upgrading his shelter, all kinds of special shelters were emerging one after another elsewhere in the Misty Land.

Amid the falling snow, an ice-crystal villa stood tall.

Amid raging waves, a massive ship sped across the sea.

Within a chasm of the abyss, a flickering cabin climbed upward.

Churches, Taoist temples, Buddhist temples... all kinds of buildings appeared in the mist.

Of course, the vast majority of people had no special items and could only upgrade their iron shelters step by step...

At this moment, in a dense forest, Wang Ziyi held a tree seed in her hand and nervously pressed the upgrade button...

A bookshelf grouping function has been added. Multiple books can be added to groups for categorization. If you have any suggestions after using it, feel free to raise them, and we can make further adjustments.
