Elevator upgrade

Just as Lin Feng was sorting through his belongings, a message popped up on the screen. The trade had gone through.

Two gold coins went straight into Lin Feng's account.

He also had enough upgrade materials. Back on the forest floor, Lin Feng had packed all the remaining space in his cowhide backpack with wood and iron.

Now he had just enough materials to upgrade the elevator.

After taking out all the materials, Lin Feng tapped upgrade.

Soon, all the materials vanished into thin air, and the elevator underwent a tremendous transformation. The changes from this upgrade were more dramatic than those from any of the previous upgrades.

It had at least tripled in size, and a table and a chair had appeared.

Besides those, there was a new area: the Material Storage Area.

According to the description, this area stored upgrade materials. Once materials needed for an upgrade were placed inside, they would automatically disappear and add to the progress. When the progress was full, the elevator could be upgraded.

However, nothing else could be put inside.

Still, being able to store upgrade materials was indeed useful. After all, each upgrade consumed a huge amount of supplies, and piling them all inside the elevator took up far too much space.

After Lin Feng put all his remaining wood and iron inside, he still needed 200 kilograms of wood, 150 kilograms of iron, 5 kilograms of gold, and 19 gold coins to upgrade the elevator to level 5.

"Ding, congratulations, host, on completing the upgrade quest. The rewards have been issued."

"Ding, upgrade quest triggered. Host, please upgrade the elevator to level 5. Reward: Time Extension Card ×5."

This system really came through.

Lin Feng smiled inwardly, then checked the upgrade rewards.

There were two all-purpose medical kits, containing everything he could need. He could even perform minor surgery in the wilderness with them.

And there was no need to worry about whether he knew how to use them.

According to the instructions, once he chose to use one, his body would automatically carry out the procedure.

It was pretty much like using a health pack in a game.

Lin Feng could make a rough guess about the Time Extension Cards awarded for reaching level 5. After all, the only time limit in this world was the time before the elevator closed after he entered a floor.

These Time Extension Cards probably extended the time before the elevator closed.

Just then, two more messages popped up on the screen. The remaining two carp had also been bought, earning Lin Feng another four gold coins.

But he was still fifteen gold coins short. If only he could visit a trading floor again, he could find a way to get some gold coins to use.

"Right, let's see what's in the pool."

The little velociraptor must have understood what Lin Feng had said earlier. Five freshwater shrimp had spawned in the pool, yet it hadn't come over to scoop them out and eat them.

Of course, that might also have been because it was too full.

Each of the five shrimp was only the size of Lin Feng's index finger. Honestly, they weren't worth eating, but throwing them away would be a waste.

Even if he listed them on the exchange, no one at this stage would likely be willing to spend gold coins on something that wouldn't fill them up.

So Lin Feng could only grill the five shrimp and eat them.

"Rawr~"

"Uh, I forgot about you."

Lin Feng rubbed the velociraptor's head, then took out a piece of dinosaur meat and tossed it over.

To his surprise, the little velociraptor picked up the meat in its mouth and set it on the induction cooker.

"Rawr~"

"Holy shit, you want it cooked, too?"

Lin Feng took a sip of water, then set about grilling the little velociraptor's meat in earnest.

Although he had no oil, some parts of the dinosaur meat looked fatty, so it probably wouldn't burn right away.

Before long, a dinosaur steak that looked about medium was ready. Only the top and bottom were cooked, while the middle was still bloody. Lin Feng didn't dare cook it any longer, afraid that with his skills, he would burn it if he kept going.

After he tossed it to the velociraptor, it stuck out its tongue and licked it. Perhaps finding it a little hot, it didn't bite straight into it.

He had to admit, the little thing was pretty smart.

It was also growing quite quickly. Lin Feng felt that if he fed it well for another month or so, the velociraptor should be able to fight for him.

The five tiny shrimp Lin Feng had just eaten certainly weren't enough to fill him up.

Probably because of the body-strengthening pills, his appetite was growing day by day.

Before, one can of food could keep him going for nearly a day. Now, only a few hours after eating, Lin Feng felt a little hungry.

There should be some fat inside the goats. If he rendered it properly, he might get some cooking oil.

At that thought, Lin Feng took the two goats out of his cowhide backpack.

"Roar!"

"No eating these!"

Lin Feng patted the velociraptor's head, and it immediately picked up its steak obediently and ran a little farther away.

"Rawr~~"

"Yeah, stay there and eat your steak."

Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction, then took out his sharp machete to cut up the goats.

Fat was usually found near a sheep or goat's tail. Although these goats probably didn't have much fat, they should have some.

Just as Lin Feng was about to make a cut, he suddenly remembered that he was inside the damn elevator.

One cut would definitely spill a lot of blood, and then he would have to clean the elevator again. Better forget it.

After putting the two goats back into his backpack, Lin Feng decided to butcher them on the next floor.

As for food, he would keep eating canned food. But after so many days of it, Lin Feng was genuinely getting sick of it.

After eating and drinking his fill, Lin Feng boiled another large pot of water. Once it had cooled completely, he poured it into water bottles.

Although the water in the infinite pool was very clean, Lin Feng still preferred drinking boiled water.

By the time he finished his daily workout, it was already eight in the morning.

Lin Feng had to get ready to head to the next floor again.

He checked the pistol magazines. All three were full, but his spare ammunition was nearly used up again. He also fully loaded the shotgun and brought ten spare shells.

Soon, Lin Feng was fully armed.

With the shotgun on his back, the machete at his waist, and the pistol in his hand, this equipment alone probably put him among the best-equipped survivors.

At least so far, Lin Feng hadn't seen any other survivor with a firearm.

But weapons such as bows and crossbows should be available. They were sold on the exchange, though their prices were fairly high, and most required gold coins.

By now, most survivors had upgraded their elevators to level 2, so demand for gold coins was also growing.

"Ding, host, the floor you are about to enter is a desert. No danger. No usable items."

"Ding, random quest triggered, Desert Oasis: host, please place two bottles of water on the desert floor. Quest reward: ten 1-liter bottles of drinking water."

"Well, this floor is just right for butchering the goats."

Lin Feng put down the shotgun, keeping only the pistol and machete. Since the system said the floor was safe, there was definitely no danger.
