Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Kong Mucheng initially tried to use his home as a fortress. If he built his home as impregnable as a rock, it would be impossible for others to invade, and perhaps his chances of survival would be increased.

It’s a pity that my home was purchased with money and is not included at all.

There was no other choice, Kong Mucheng could only pack up his belongings and go to the surrounding mountains with his weapons.

Fortunately, there were not many zombies on the mountain, which gave him a chance to survive.

After finding a suitable place, Kong Mucheng began to dig a hole. Although it was just the most basic cave, as long as it reached a certain level, it could be considered a primary shelter.

Such a primary fortress is naturally not complicated to build. After all, it is difficult to upgrade when you have nothing.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible to have overly high requirements in the initial judgment.

Once the level 1 fortress is completed, the system will issue a reward and upgrade the level 1 fortress. Although the upgraded fortress is not large in area, it is a real safe haven.

Because Kong Mucheng chose to place the shelter on the mountain, the upgraded shelter was also hidden in the mountain.

The shelter is surrounded by super-strong alloys from the interstellar world, which can withstand all kinds of disasters, not to mention zombies, which cannot invade at all.

But it is impossible to live a normal life like this. After all, the bunker is just an ordinary primary bunker with nothing inside. Therefore, we must hurry up to upgrade it in order to have a better quality of life.

After a series of upgrades, Kong Mucheng finally reached his current level.

It’s a pity that after the bunker is upgraded to level 5, the points required to continue upgrading are simply astronomical. Therefore, you can only seek cooperation with others, otherwise it is impossible to survive on your own.

Kong Muqing came to his own exclusive space in the bunker. Looking at the numbers on the panel, which were motionless, he could only helplessly ask the smart assistant, "Can the only way to upgrade is to earn points by completing system tasks? Is there any other way? This is simply impossible!"

"I'm sorry, I don't understand you!"

Although it is an intelligent assistant, it is at best only the most basic interstellar artificial intelligence, which can only perform some basic operations, and naturally cannot answer Kong Mucheng's questions.

Kong Mucheng just complained out of habit and didn't take him to heart.

Kong Muqing looked at the barely perceptible progress bar and could only sigh silently.

It was because the previous upgrade had gone too smoothly, and now he was at a loss when he encountered a little difficulty.

But this is also normal. After all, upgrading cannot be smooth sailing.

To upgrade the first four levels, Kong Mucheng only needs to complete some projects, which is basically not too difficult.

But after upgrading to level 5, the difficulty suddenly soars.

Kong Mucheng's bunker accommodated many people who came to seek refuge, but the progress bar only moved forward slowly, and the number of tasks given by the system was still an astronomical number.

Kong Muqing sighed silently, "Fortunately, there is no ban on arms trading. It seems that I can only sell supplies to gain points. I hope that the bunker can be upgraded again one day."

Although the current low bunker is enough for me to live well in the doomsday, there is a possibility of upgrading. Who would let themselves be trapped in the same place?

In particular, this kind of upgrade is not a pie in the sky painted by the company boss, but a progress bar that you can actually see, and every number is the motivation for your own progress.

Kong Muqing made up his mind and counted his supplies again.

There aren't many supplies in the bunker, but through points exchanged with people who enter the bunker, there are enough for the people inside to use.

In addition, they will also earn points for their daily work, as well as points for rescuing people.

Although the number is not large, it adds up to a lot, and water dripping wears away the stone, so just grind it slowly!

Everyone else also returned to their own rooms. Regardless of whether the person just now was the owner of the bunker, they could not discuss it openly.

Because this activity was originally carried out in secret, not many people knew about it.

But it’s okay for people who go out together to discuss it privately.

Zuo Zhizhi didn't want to participate in these discussions. After all, the specific characters had already been determined. As for Lin Siyu, there should be some speculation as well.

The two of them lay down in their own rooms and began to deal with the next things.

For Zuo Zhizhi, the most important thing is the upgrade of system capabilities.

Before, we could only check on other people’s affairs from a close distance, but at this stage, transportation is extremely underdeveloped and communications are basically disconnected, so there is no way to check on other people’s status.

As a system that only cares about the people, how can we tolerate such things happening for a long time?

Therefore, a system upgrade is imminent.

"What's going on with today's ability upgrade?"

Upon entering the space, Zuo Zhizhi immediately began to inquire about the system, but the system did not respond. "After completing the first phase of the melon-eating mission, the system automatically upgraded."

Zuo Zhizhi was speechless. Did this system even have a brain? Why didn't it explain something so important directly, leaving her to guess?

But it’s not too late to say it now, so we must take this opportunity to carefully check the functions of the system.

"So what functions does the current system have?"

After a simple experiment, Zuo Zhizhi found that the current system was not much different from the previous one. If anything, there was only one more entrance to pay for the game.

Of course, the krypton gold here is not money, but energy.

As mentioned at the beginning of the system binding, the melon-making system consumes a lot of energy, so most of its capabilities cannot be used.

Especially in the previous world, which was basically in a stand-alone state, Zuo Zhizhi only thought of the system when checking the plot, except for the final entry into the next world.

I don’t know if there were more people eating melons in the previous world, or if there is more energy in this world, but now there is a function that allows you to view the plot by replenishing energy.

Although there are great limitations, it is indeed good news for me.

The melon-eating system needs to eat melons to replenish its energy, and he is also very interested in other people, especially the affairs of his stepsister and stepsbrother.

If you can acquire corresponding knowledge by consuming some energy, it will only benefit you and not harm you.

The only problem is that this krypton gold consumes zombie crystal cores.

There weren't many crystal cores originally, and now I needed to consume some of them to eat melons. I could only say that I needed to work twice as hard to achieve crystal core freedom.

This is probably a trend in the future. The previous currency system has almost collapsed, and all transactions in the future will require crystal cores and food.
