After confirming that Little Velociraptor was all right, Lin Feng tapped the screen a few times to check the upgrade progress and found that the elevator was ready to upgrade.
So Lin Feng tapped to upgrade the elevator.
Soon, the elevator began shaking violently, more intensely than during any of its previous upgrades.
The screen also displayed the new items that came with the elevator upgrade.
[Elevator upgrade complete.] [Added: comfortable bed, basic fireplace, 20 square meters of additional space.]
The comfortable bed was really just a raised wooden bed, not much different from Lin Feng's old one. Still, at least it was a proper bed, and he finally had a better place to sleep.
The fireplace did not take up the ventilation hole; instead, it had its own separate vent.
Now he would not have to use the Induction Cooker for heat.
It seemed the master of this elevator world was not out to wipe humanity out completely after all.
Although the temperature had dropped, a fireplace had appeared. As long as they kept going, there was still a sliver of hope for survival.
Lin Feng chopped some wood into small pieces and put them in the fireplace, then found some paper for kindling and finally got the fire going.
The temperature inside the elevator quickly began rising again.
"Wait, system, why didn't you give me a reward for this upgrade?"
"Beep. Upgrade mission complete. Reward: one upgrade opportunity for the Extra-Large Leather Backpack. Automatically used. The Extra-Large Leather Backpack has gained three slots."
"Well, all right."
Lin Feng nodded.
Then he started preparing food for the day.
With the temperature so low, eating cold canned food was naturally not ideal. Since he now had a fireplace, he could heat up some canned beef.
Little Velociraptor's meal consisted of three large turtles.
They had all spawned in the Infinite Water Pool.
Eating turtles for the first time, Little Velociraptor had actually tried to bite straight through them and nearly shattered his teeth.
In the end, Lin Feng had to take care of the turtles with his machete before he could get the meat out.
But a mere three turtles were certainly not enough to fill Little Velociraptor's belly.
Lin Feng could only rummage through the Leather Backpack for some more dinosaur meat to feed the Velociraptor.
With all he had eaten lately, Little Velociraptor had nearly finished the meat brought back from the Prehistoric World.
Still, there was meat from two sheep left, along with some berries and assorted food, plus the Infinite Water Pool.
Even if he could not obtain any food for the time being, he could hold out for a while.
Once Little Velociraptor had eaten and drunk his fill, he carried a turtle shell into a corner to gnaw on.
Who would have thought turtle shells could serve that purpose too? That counted as a pleasant surprise.
After a few hours of his daily exercise, Lin Feng went to rest.
He slept until evening before getting up.
After waking up, Lin Feng first had a quick wash with water from the pool, then sat in front of the screen, eating berries as he scrolled through the messages.
Most people were awake by this time.
The messages in the Chatroom were nothing more than buying and selling, the usual bullshit, and people looking down on one another.

"Well, damn. Even this place has ads."
Lin Feng smiled helplessly. Taking a closer look, he realized the post was from someone named Qin An.
Qin An?
Holy shit, isn't that my dear son??
Lin Feng rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Although it could have been someone with the same name, he remembered this bastard's face perfectly clearly.
Qin An had attended the same school as Lin Feng, and like Lin Feng, he had never gotten used to living in the dorms.
So the two of them had rented a place together.
Because of Lin Feng's background, Qin An had always looked out for him and had even covered the utilities on top of his share of the rent. Over time, the two had become very close.
After spending so much time together, Qin An and Lin Feng had also taken to calling each other father and son, each taking turns being the father.
He had never expected this bastard to have been brought into this world too.
His elevator was actually level 4. It seemed Qin An had been pretty lucky, but what the hell was that fucking ad?
To find out what the hell Qin An was up to, Lin Feng opened a private chat.
Lin Feng: [My dear son! How the fuck did you end up here too??]
When Qin An, who was busy posting ads, saw the message, he thought a customer had come calling and hurriedly opened it to reply. When he saw its contents, he froze.
Holy shit! Isn't this that bastard Lin Feng?
Qin An: [Holy shit? What are you doing here??]
Lin Feng: [It's all your fault. You didn't set the alarm for our eight a.m. class, so we both ended up late. Otherwise, we definitely wouldn't have come to this world.]
Qin An: [Fuck off, fuck off. What's that got to do with me?]
Lin Feng: [Haha. Anyway, I wanted to ask, what's with that ad you're posting? Did you switch careers and become a pimp??]
Qin An: [A fucking pimp, my ass. Someone hired me to do this. I was spamming the Chatroom a few days ago. Didn't you see?]
Lin Feng: [Uh, I don't really pay much attention to the Chatroom.]
Qin An: [No worries, I'll explain. It's pretty much like being a paid shill. He gives me food, and I help post ads. I heard this New Royal Club specializes in mobile services. He keeps several prostitutes.]
Qin An: [You've got to hand it to him, he's got a head for business. I got some food by spamming ads for him too, and that got me through a rough patch.]
Lin Feng: [I see. So how much food did he give you?]
Qin An: [One loaf of black bread for seven days of spamming.]
Lin Feng: [Holy shit, are you a slave?! You work that cheap?!]
Qin An: [What else could I do? I had rotten luck before and couldn't find a bite to eat. I had to do it to avoid starving to death. But the good news is, I don't have to worry about food or water anymore. A few more days and I won't have to spam for him. This fucking shitty Chatroom even uses real names. It's so damn embarrassing!]
Qin An: [Anyway, have you been going hungry? Call me Daddy, and I'll give you some food. How about it?]
Lin Feng: [You dumb dog. As if you're worthy.]
Qin An: [Hahahaha! I really never thought we'd run into each other in this world. I thought I was going to grow old alone.]
Lin Feng: [...Are you a fucking idiot? Anyway, didn't that little girlfriend of yours come to this world?]
Qin An: [Xiao Ran? Sigh, I haven't found her so far. I hope she never comes to this world. It'd be best if she forgot about me and found another man who treats her well!]
Qin An's tone, like that of a devoted, caring boyfriend, left Lin Feng speechless.
The bastard was a complete player who spent every day surrounded by women. On average, none of his girlfriends lasted more than three months.
That he could say something like that truly left Lin Feng speechless.
