Survival in the Mist: From a Dilapidated Wooden Hut to a Heavenly Palace in the Clouds

Mo Ming had no idea what was going on with the giant man-eating flower's strange state, nor could he take any action, so he simply put it aside for the time being and busied himself with the tasks at hand.

After returning to the shelter, Song Yufei used a beast upgrade scroll on the male jade lion, upgrading it to a deep blue-level jade lion that doubled in size, even becoming comparable to an adult elephant.

The king of the grasslands exuded an even stronger aura, causing the female jade lion beside him to become infatuated.

Afterwards, Song Yufei led several pets to the cliff behind the shelter, and with the help of the giant hunting dog's sense of smell, she successfully located the herd of goats.

They easily herded it back to the shelter and put it into a breeding box.

The goat breed is the giant horned wild goat, and there are 18 of them. The males and females can be easily distinguished by the condition of their horns.

There are 8 male goats and 10 female goats.

Now she can enjoy lamb hotpot anytime! Just thinking about it made Song Yufei feel wonderful.

He sent a message to Mo Ming and then began upgrading the shelter.

Song Yufei planned to upgrade the shelter, so Mo Ming stopped delaying, prepared the materials, and began the special upgrade of the shelter.

After confirming the addition of special materials, a familiar cyan-green light instantly enveloped the entire bronze ancient house. A few minutes later, the cyan light slowly faded away.

【Upgrade completed! 】

[Shelter: Level 4 - Bronze Castle]

Size: 400 square meters (plus a 100-square-meter bronze basement)

Main facilities: Bronze Hall, Bronze Workbench, Bronze Toilet, Bronze Kitchen, Bronze Beast King Hall, Ancient Bronze Lamp...

Other facilities: Twin Beasts Four-Sided Well, Guardian Radar, Temperature-Controlled Cellar, Planting Base...

Unlockable facilities:

青铜民房：1136/300木材，876/500石头，1763/20青铜(可居住8人)

introduce:......

P.S.: Compared to the Level 3 Shelter, the upgraded Bronze Manor has seen significant improvements in area, quality, disaster resistance, facility completeness, and comfort.

"Wow, the area has doubled, and they've even unlocked bronze houses. Is this an encouragement for us to hire people?"

"But...who should I offend?" Mo Ming laughed helplessly.

As the shelter was upgraded, Mo Ming's other facilities attached to the shelter were also improved.

The Twin Beasts Four Directions Well now produces 4L of Holy Spring every 24 hours.

The radar's detection range has been expanded to a radius of 5 kilometers.

The fully automated battle bunker has added a new weapon slot, and Mo Ming tried putting the steel cannon in it, and it actually worked.

The only downside is that each cannon can only be equipped with a maximum of 12 shells, and once they are all used up, they need to be manually reloaded.

However, with 12 shells, the firepower should be decent, right?

Once we have enough materials, we must equip each bunker with a steel cannon. Then, if any deep blue-level ferocious beasts dare to harass my shelter again, I'll blast them to smithereens.

After daydreaming for a while, Mo Ming continued to check the conditions for upgrading the shelter to level 5.

Level 5 Shelter Upgrade Requirements:

1. Possess at least one crimson-purple level pet

2. Possess at least one crimson-level facility

3. Possess assets exceeding 100 million Ancient Coins

4. Survivors reach the Dark Blue level.

5. Possess a unique title exclusive to the Misty World.

[Special Upgrade: Recover three lost bronze artifacts from the Bronze Sanctuary. Current progress: 1/3]

5级庇护所的升级条件与1/2/3/4级庇护所大为不同。

Upgrading to level 5 shelter no longer requires basic materials such as stone and wood, and even special upgrades no longer require bronze.

Pet level, survivor level, facility level, assets, and even a previously unheard-of title called "Mist"—judging from these points, the later upgrade requirements seem to focus more on the overall strength of the survivors.

Previously, you could upgrade whenever you had enough materials; it was essentially a resource collection process.

That won't work anymore; all the conditions won't be met simply by gathering resources and trading.

Furthermore, regarding this special upgrade, if it really requires bronze, even a larger quantity would be acceptable, at least there would be a clear objective.

But now?

The search for the three lost bronze artifacts from the shelter is futile. They don't even know the names or appearances of the artifacts, and they have no clue whatsoever. Where are they supposed to find them without any leads?

Wait, progress 1/3, I already have one?

Could it be... the Bronze Demon-Suppressing Sword?

After thinking it over, Mo Ming felt that this should be it, since he only had this one bronze artifact.

Could it be that the other two items are also this type of equipment?

Never mind for now, let it be.

After exchanging details about the Level 4 Shelter with Song Yufei, Mo Ming began preparing the main products for Shop No. 1.

In order to occupy a favorable position next to the Mist Shop, Mo Ming placed the No. 1 Shop there directly when he opened it.

After all, there are a large number of survivors, and many talented people emerge. Mo Ming estimates that new shops will open soon, so since he has gained an advantage by chance, he must make good use of it.

The goods were simply placed there at the time, and they were mostly food, mainly fruits and vegetables.

However, he can't be so careless in the future. Mo Ming plans to manage the shop properly and launch some of his own unique products.

After all, 100 million Ancient Coins is no small sum!

The gray and light yellow areas have the most stalls, but they're pretty useless. Mo Ming is finding it hard to find any items of this level to put on the shelves now; all he has left are stones and wood.

Besides, at this stage, what survivor would care about low-level items?

After much deliberation, Mo Ming decided to put all the stones and wood on the shelves, hoping to take advantage of this last wave of upgrade benefits and fleece the survivors whose shelters hadn't been upgraded to level 4 yet.

The pricing is also relatively cheap, with 1 Ancient Coin for 20 units in the gray and white zone and 1 Ancient Coin for 10 units in the light yellow zone, focusing on low profit and high volume.

Mo Ming decided to put condoms at both of the two emerald-level stalls, still priced at 10 Ancient Spirit Coins each.

As for the deep blue zone, Mo Ming had already decided to put deep blue-grade fruit wine in it, 250ml per bottle, priced at 500 Ancient Spirit Coins.

Based on the current daily production of 4 liters of Momindi Holy Spring, only 16 bottles can be put on the shelves at a time.

Food items aren't as popular as props or equipment. Although they're also deep blue-level and offer some benefits to survivors' physique, their immediate combat effectiveness is limited. So Mo Ming didn't price them too high; 500 is just right.

Based on this calculation, if all the goods in the shop can be sold out every day, the stalls with emerald and dark blue rarity can generate a stable income of 10000 Ancient Coins.

The future is promising!

After a flurry of activity, it was almost time for the Misty Shop's inventory to refresh, so Song Yufei arrived, and the two began to wait.

With only 5 minutes left in the countdown, a golden light suddenly flashed across the bracelet's interface, and then a long text appeared on the screen.

【Hello fellow survivors, my name is Su Zhenguo, from the Great Xia. What I am about to say is only for the citizens of the Great Xia. Everyone else can just ignore it.】

Everyone is aware of the current situation, so I won't go into too much detail. The cold wave has ended, but the next disaster is on its way.

We stumbled upon a message card called the Prophecy Card, through which we learned of the impending disaster.

Therefore, on behalf of the Great Xia government, I extend an invitation to all citizens of Great Xia to come to our gathering place after the shelter rating is completed. At that time, we will inform you about the next round of disaster information.

Of course, we also very much hope that everyone can work with us to seek common development.

Below is the group chat number we created. Anyone interested can join the group. We will announce the meeting time and location coordinates in the group.

There's no need to doubt my identity. The photos and name in the Misty World are real and cannot be changed. After joining the group, you can directly view the group owner's information; that's me.

Please think it over carefully!

P.S.: This group chat is for citizens of the Great Xia Dynasty only! Others cannot join. However, we will not keep the disaster information to ourselves; once the gathering is over, we will release this information, and all survivors can then search for our official account on short video platforms to view it.

"This is... a summons?"
