Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Chapter 23: Upgrades and survival points

Views:

Chen Xin was extremely excited about picking up the system.

It feels like a naughty child suddenly got a novel toy, and he won't stop until he plays with it to the fullest.

And now he is hiding in the shelter, and all the electronic products have been wrapped in tin foil and placed in iron boxes to avoid the next EMP shock wave. In addition to tossing with his newly acquired system, he also There wasn't much else to do.

However, Chen Xin's troubles allowed him to figure out how the system he picked up worked and what capabilities it had.

The system itself is very rudimentary, more like an auxiliary program than a complete system.

The entire program has no interface. When Chen Xin swaps out the system, what is displayed is only the balance of survival points in the corner of his retina, and the related upgrade information of the items that Chen Xin can access within the implementation.

For example, when Chen Xin focused his attention on a ballpoint pen he placed on the table, he could see two different upgrade plans emerging on the ballpoint pen.

One is to add a strong light flashlight function and upgrade the ballpoint pen into a pen-shaped flashlight commonly used by doctors in hospitals; while the other is to add a window-breaking function to turn it into a survival tool.

The first type, Chen Xin, is often seen in various medical dramas. The pen that turns into a bright flashlight with one click is really convenient. Doctors can use it to check the body of patients anytime and anywhere. It is a very practical tool.

As for the second type, in fact, as a wild survival enthusiast, Chen Xinxin owns such a pen.

Made of full titanium alloy, it is hard and can be used as tent pegs or even crowbars. It adopts a bolt-type structure, which is much more reliable and easier to use than button-type pens. The pen tip is designed to The window cone is a very practical and convenient pen that can be used to break the car window to escape in the event of an accident such as a car accident.

Chen Xin also likes it very much. He used to carry it with him. When he was inspired, he could take it out and record his inspiration.

Of course, a titanium alloy pen is not cheap. Chen Xin spent more than 400 yuan when he bought this pen.

If Chen Xin hadn't earned a decent income from manuscript fees as an online writer, he might not have been so generous to buy such an expensive pen.

But now, instead of spending more than 400 yuan, Chen Xin only needs a two-dollar ballpoint pen and 5 survival points to get the same titanium alloy tactical pen.

Of course, although Chen Xin had the idea of trying to see what the system upgrade was like, he had no survival points at all, so he could only look at the upgrade plans for various items given by the system. I'm so greedy.

The system's survival point settlement method is based on midnight every day, and Chen Xin must settle on a twenty-four-hour cycle, which means that Chen Xin must stay in the doomsday environment for a full twenty-four hours. , to gain one day's survival points.

However, as a novice benefit and as the first start-up capital, although Chen Xin did not survive for 24 hours today, he could still get one day's survival points.

It’s just that this benefit is only available when the system is activated. If Chen Xin leaves the doomsday crisis environment determined by the system, the system functions will be temporarily frozen. The system will not be activated again until he returns to the doomsday crisis environment determined by the system, but again. The activated system must wait for Chen Xin to survive for 24 hours before it starts calculating survival points.

As for how Chen Xin leaves the current environment where the world is plunged into a doomsday disaster, this is not something that this system without the assistance of a talking artificial intelligence can answer.

Because there were no survival points, Chen Xin was too lazy to think about how many points it would cost to upgrade items. Instead, he went through everything in his shelter to see what the system could upgrade, and these things What are the upgrade plans

Chen Xin needs to plan his future survival plan based on these upgrade plans, and at least make a limited list of upgrades so that he knows what should be upgraded first.

Everything that appears in Chen Xin's sight can be upgraded using survival points in the system's judgment. Ordinary pens can be upgraded to tactical pens, ordinary scissors can be upgraded to emergency folding scissors, and bright flashlights can be upgraded to infrared, laser and more. Functional tactical flashlight…

Even Chen Xin’s self-heating food can be upgraded, or upgraded to life-sustaining food with a bit of science fiction color.

However, during this struggle, Chen Xin also discovered that the system cannot indeed create matter out of thin air, but it can transform existing matter into another kind of matter.

Just like the plastic ballpoint pen that can only be upgraded to a titanium alloy tactical pen, the material of the pen is changed from plastic to titanium alloy.

And all of this is achieved on the premise of consuming survival points. With survival points, you can have everything.

Of course, in addition to simply consuming survival points, system upgrades can also be done through material upgrades, which can reduce part of the consumption of survival points, but the consumption of materials will be larger.

For example, Chen Xin's ballpoint pen. If Chen Xin has 50g of titanium alloy, he only needs 1 survival point to complete the upgrade. If it is 200g of iron, he needs 3 survival points.

As for other things, the upgrade rules are basically similar. If Chen Xin can provide enough substances and materials, the survival points consumed to upgrade the items will be much less. The amount of less will depend on the materials Chen Xin can provide. Certainly.

Chen Xin is very satisfied with this function of the system, which provides him with two survival route options.

One natural way is to be the Shilipo Sword God and keep saving survival points in the shelter. When you have enough, you can upgrade the items until you make the shelter impregnable and indestructible.

The other way is to wait for the external environment to stabilize, then actively collect materials and use the materials to upgrade the shelter. In the end, the shelter will be made impregnable and indestructible.

The two upgrade methods cannot be said to be better or worse, they just represent two different development routes, and no one stipulates that Chen Xin must choose one of them and give up the other.

He can stay at home for a period of time to upgrade the shelter to a certain level. After his survival is sufficiently guaranteed, he can then go to the outside world to collect materials to speed up the upgrade of the shelter.

On the one hand, it is because it takes a certain amount of time for the external environment to stabilize, and on the other hand, it is because the external environment will become full of danger and uncertainty with the arrival of doomsday natural disasters.

After all, with the occurrence of meteorite impacts, most countries in the world will be unable to maintain their original order, and the original social order and peaceful environment will disappear. (End of chapter)
