Chapter 35: The Beginning of The End of The World! Big Update 1.0!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Today marks the sixth day in the wasteland. Mmhmm… Doomsday calendar, Month 1, Day 6.
“Current shelter members: Su Mo! Oreo!
“The disaster isn’t over yet, so it’s fine if I lay on my bed and sleep in, right? Hehe~ I mean, I don’t have to catch the 7 o’clock bus anymore.
“Oreo’s sleeping. Look at its drool. I wonder what delicious food Oreo is dreaming about. What a silly dog.
“Now that I’ve gotten a lot of supplies for the shelter and I’m about to get electricity, I have to definitely keep going!”
“You can do it, Su Mo!”
After opening his private chat message and recording his empty nester’s diary for the sixth day, Su Mo turned off the game panel.
Even if he killed five people in a row last night, he still slept until it was almost eight o’clock.
As he laid on the soft and warm little bed, listening to the thinly scattered and soothing rain dripping outside, Su Mo quietly waited for the disaster to end.
Outside the shelter, the terrifying acid rain that lasted thirty-six hours was about to come to an end.
When it was eight o’clock, the system’s calculation notification prompt sounded on time.
[Doomsday calendar Month 1 Day 6]
[An unknown disaster struck, You felt very secure in your safe shelter (survival points +5)]
[You upgraded a set of simple disaster-resistant equipment (survival points +2)]
[When you were out on patrol, you detected a group of malicious people. You had a keen sense of observation (survival points +5)]
[You opened up a second pa.s.sage for the shelter (survival points +20)]
[You killed five bandits to protect your safety and to defend the owners.h.i.+p of your shelter (survival points +35)]
[You showed your face to a billion people or more. And they now they have a deep impression of the name Su Mo (survival points +200)]
[You seized a lot of supplies and enriched your shelter (survival points +10)]
[You kept your humanity as a human being because you know that you are not a mad beast. You have people you care about, people you want to protect, and… you want to go back to earth alive (survival points +25)]
[Scanning host survival environment. Survival points evaluation in progress. 53 survival points gained today.]
…
Total calculation: Survival points +365
Remaining survival points: 433
“Phew, that’s a lot. A wave of sudden wealth.”
When Su Mo saw this total calculation of points, he sat up and his heart was beating frantically and wildly.
Every day, he would only get a hundred something points, like using a pearl of toothpaste to brush his teeth. A sudden wave of windfall of 400 points made Su Mo feel as if he was in a dream.
“Livestreaming in front of a billion people, who remembered my name got me two hundred points…
“So is the system encouraging me to show off more?”
When Su Mo saw what gave him the most points, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
‘Is this real?
‘I guess it is!’
Compared with the extremely dangerous life-and-death battle, a livestream brought him such a high income, so it was a no brainer.
“Phew, now that we have enough survival points, we can upgrade the generator today.”
He got dressed and got up.
After pouring out today’s acc.u.mulated psychic energy water into the water tank, Su Mo began to rinse his mouth after scooping up a full bottle of water with a wooden cup.
“Gargle gargle!”
He spat the water to the edge of the vegetable culture medium after rinsing his mouth, scooped up one and a half liters of psychic energy water to water the vegetables, and just like that, his tending work for the day was completed.
The whole time, he did it in a sacred mood.
Su Mo quickly walked to the part where the generator was placed, looked at the damaged fuel tank under the generator, and concentrated his thoughts.
[Diesel Generator (damaged)]
Efficiency: 300kw (300 kwh at full load)
Fuel consumption: 230 grams per kilowatt hour (82L/h at full load)
Upgrade: Repair (130), increase volume (50), increase conversion efficiency (300), change material (420), change energy supply mode – bioma.s.s (4450)…
“I choose to repair it!”
Love is a flash of green light! (TN: Song lyrics for Green Light by Stefanie Sun.)
As he said that, a green light emitted from his body contained Su Mo’s deep love for the generator.
As he stroked the outer part of the generator, Su Mo’s eyes were full of affection.
“Any man would love a wild machine like you!”
Gradually, the generator fuel tank, which had a hole, began to deform slightly under the touch of the green light.
Rows of silver dots appeared next to the fuel tank out of thin air. Under the restraint of the green light, they stuck onto the damaged part of the fuel tank.
The hole that was as big as a fist quickly closed up and the green light disappeared after three to five seconds.
The generator’s fuel tank was repaired and looked brand new.
[Diesel Generator (normal)]
Efficiency: 300kw (300 kwh at full load)
Fuel consumption: 230 grams per kilowatt hour (82L/h at full load)
Su Mo laid carefully on the generator and tried to remember every small tip as well as the easiest way to turn it on.
The generator’s fuel consumption at full load was extremely terrifying. With the current diesel reserve he had, it would be exhausted in less than three hours on full load.
Originally, Su Mo was worried that he would not be able to control the output power after turning it on.
However, after learning how to operate it, he discovered that diesel generators had a clutch and a throttle.
A complete set of control systems was written completely in the generator program. As long as the power was set manually, the output intensity would be able to be controlled, which was extremely convenient.
After learning how to operate it, Su Mo opened up the fuel tank and began to pour diesel fuel into it.
Boom! Rumble rumble rumble!
When he heard the sound above the fuel tank working, it indicated that the output power was stable and worked. After that, Su Mo quickly turned off the machine and spoke a little excitedly.
“If I get any weapons or devices that require electricity, I’ll be able to boldly upgrade them.”
The choices he had included electric spears and electric automatic crossbows.
After getting the design drawing and planning for the interior design of his shelter, he would be able to distribute the wires to each room after he get a set of batteries.
If he ever finds a light bulb, he could finally retire his torch at night!
After he sat back on his stool, Su Mo was still not able to calm down for a long time.
For modern humans, electricity has long been an indispensable thing in life. Even if he did not have any electrical equipment yet, as long as there was a generator, his future goal was very clear–
To look for electrical equipment!
To build a super shelter that ran mainly on electricity!
As his mood surged upward, Su Mo held back his excitement. He took out some biscuits, crushed Oreo’s portion and soaked it in water. As the scent of the broken biscuits and the fragrance of the psychic energy water mixed together, Oreo, who had been barking at the door, was immediately attracted to the scent. After that, it laid on the ground and licked wildly at its food bowl.
When Su Mo saw how much Oreo was enjoying its food, he got a little appet.i.te as well. He took out a biscuit, poured out a gla.s.s of psychic energy water, and finished his breakfast.
Since it was still raining outside, Su Mo decided to use that time to start his daily training and trained Oreo how to work with him as well.
Bit by bit.
When it was almost twelve o’clock, the dark clouds in the sky began to quickly dissipate.
A ray of golden sunlight appeared from the sky and shone onto the ground, illuminating every dark corner.
When it was time, it was as if the system panel had a convulsion and began to broadcast and send the messages to everyone.

Wow!
