Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife.

Identified this improved farmland.

[Farmland (Blue) x1: High-level farmland with excellent soil fertility and harvest. Various methods can be used to improve soil quality and enhance farmland quality.]

"The improved farmland not only increases soil fertility and yields, but also significantly speeds up crop growth."

Zhang Shi picked the ripe vegetables excitedly, his face filled with the joy of the harvest.

This piece of farmland is planted with green leafy vegetables, which originally grew very fast. After the improvement, Zhang Shi estimated that the next harvest would not be long.

Zhang Shi narrowed his eyes slightly after taking a look at the farmland in the greenhouse.

"This farmland improvement card is a good thing. We need to find a way to get more of it."

After posting several acquisition information on the trading market, Zhang Shi went to the charcoal kiln to check the firing status of the square bricks.

After a day and a night of firing, the number of square bricks has been collected.

Zhang Shi opened the system panel, looked back at the stone house, reserved enough space in advance, and then pressed the upgrade button.

With a whoosh, the original stone house was enveloped in golden light, briefly illuminating the shelter.

This process did not last long. When the golden light faded, the original stone house had turned into a two-story villa that looked quite impressive.

System prompts, congratulations on successfully upgrading your shelter, unlocking some item manufacturing permissions, and obtaining:

[Exquisite Treasure Box (Purple) x1]

System prompt: Congratulations on becoming the first survivor in this area to upgrade to a level 4 shelter. Reward:

System prompt: Congratulations on becoming the first survivor in the Wild World to upgrade to a Level 4 Shelter. Rewards:

[Small Generator (Purple) x1: A generator made with special technology from the Wild World. It generates electricity by consuming fuel, without any noise or pollution.]

Zhang Shi's eyes lit up. He put away the props temporarily and continued to observe the villa.

“Is this a luxurious two-story villa in the countryside?”

In a corner of the silent and dim wilderness, there stands a villa quietly. After systematic processing, the construction of this villa is no less than the mansions in the original world.

The exterior of the villa adopts a Chinese style. The concrete and stone wall foundation is solid and solemn, matched with the spotless white walls and exquisite carved decorations, showing a sense of low-key luxury.

The roof was covered with dark grey tiles, which glowed softly under the firelight, forming a sharp contrast with the white surroundings, adding a sense of tranquility and harmony.

When Zhang Shi stepped into the villa, the first thing that caught his eye was the spacious lobby. Candles were hung on the walls inside the house, making the house bright even at night.

The lobby floor is paved with stone slabs, each of which has been systematically polished to present the beauty of natural texture. When you step on them, it feels like you are stepping into a palace of art.

The first floor has an exquisite layout, with the living room occupying the most prominent position. The spacious space is enough to accommodate dozens of people for gatherings without being crowded.

On one side of the living room is an open kitchen and dining area, which is equipped with all modern kitchen appliances. The dining room is furnished with a long solid wood dining table surrounded by exquisite dining chairs, replacing the original simple table and chairs.

When night falls, this becomes a cozy place to enjoy delicious food.

Zhang Shi went forward and fiddled with it for a while, and found that most of the equipment was powered by electricity. Without a power source, these things were just decorations.

Shaking his head, Zhang Shi slowly ascended the exquisite wooden staircase and arrived at the private world on the second floor. This was not only the owner's resting place, but also a spiritual haven.

The second floor houses several bedrooms and a study, each meticulously designed to meet specific functional needs. The master suite is spacious and luxurious, with a private bathroom and dressing room.

The bathroom is not only fully equipped with facilities, but also has a bathtub and sauna, so you can enjoy complete relaxation of body and mind even after a busy day.

The study is decorated in a simple yet elegant style. Next to a large desk, a soft candlelight is quietly waiting for every burst of inspiration.

Additionally, the villa has a terrace.

Above the terrace, a two-meter-high floor-to-ceiling window can be opened and closed at Zhang Shi's will. Standing on the terrace, one can overlook the entire shelter.

Zhang Shi rubbed his arms and felt a little cool.

"Hey, why is there no heating?"

Zhang Shi opened the shelter and, using the Territory Control module, carefully observed it, finally discovering a boiler room on the left side of the villa. Through the holographic projection, Zhang Shi could also see the dense network of pipes extending from the boiler room to every room in the villa.

"Hey, it's actually underfloor heating."

Zhang Shi smiled and walked quickly towards the boiler room, where he found two huge water tanks. Conservatively estimated, the capacity of each tank was more than one ton.

There is an iron stove under the water tank. When fuel is added into it, the whole machine will operate automatically to provide heating and water to the villa.

Seeing this, Zhang Shi first added enough charcoal into the iron stove to ignite it, and then used a wooden barrel to pour the accumulated snow into the water tank.

As the iron furnace heats up, the snow in the water tank melts into snow water, which continues to heat up.

Zhang Shi went back and forth for a long time before he finally filled both water tanks.

"This saves a lot of effort."

Zhang Shi clapped his hands and returned to the villa.

The temperature in the villa slowly rose due to the floor heating. Zhang Shi felt waves of warmth coming over him and he didn't feel cold even after taking off his clothes.

Pippi jumped up and down happily in the villa, full of curiosity about the building that suddenly appeared.

Zhang Shi returned to his bedroom and lay down on his familiar large bed. Next to him was a transparent glass window. Under the light of the charcoal kiln, Zhang Shi could see what was happening in the yard at a glance.

Open your backpack to see the rewards for upgrading your shelter.

First open the appliance gift package, which contains some common appliances in the real world, such as refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, televisions, etc.

Zhang Shi used the territory control module to place some useful electrical appliances in the villa, and put the rest into the warehouse to collect dust.

Then there's the generator. This thing is a treasure, with no durability limit, allowing Zhang Shi to live a modern life.

Zhang Shi placed it in the tool shed, added enough coal into it, and the lines in the house automatically connected to the generator.

With power supply, the villa instantly became brightly lit.

Zhang Shi felt like he hadn't seen the light for a long time. He took a while to get used to it before turning it off.

The night in the wilderness is dark. Suddenly a light source appears, and Zhang Shi is afraid that it will attract the attention of some wild animals.

Finally, Zhang Shi set his eyes on the purple treasure chest and used the double privilege to open it with great anticipation.

Ding, successfully opened the rare treasure chest (purple), triggered the VIP privilege, doubled the items, and obtained:

[Electric Grid (Purple) x2: A rare defensive facility. When powered on and placed around a fence, it can effectively protect against wild beasts.]
