Global Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter

He immediately opened the Survival Points Mall to check how many survival points he needed to acquire the Intermediate Universal Upgrade Design Map, but after searching around...

"Nothing? I'm eager to upgrade and you tell me there's nothing? Is this serious?"

Whether it's the Survival Points Mall, the World Mall, or even among groups and the world channel, the term "Intermediate Universal Upgrade Design Map" was nowhere to be found.

It seems upgrading to the Celestial Dragon Armor is temporarily impossible.

Perhaps he'll have to rely on opening a treasure chest to obtain this item.

Lin Yue could only settle for second best, putting the Insect Armor above the Bone Armor.

[Upgrading Bone Armor to Blood Belly Worm Armor requires Universal Upgrade Design Map X1]

Luckily it doesn't also require an intermediate version, so let's upgrade.

Lin Yue opted for an upgrade this time.

Although he couldn't upgrade to the intimidating-sounding Celestial Dragon Armor, the Blood Belly Worm Armor seemed pretty good.

[You have obtained Blood Belly Worm Armor X1]

Lin Yue watched as the grayish-white Bone Armor on the ground transformed into a yellowish-brown Insect Armor, with a harder texture and tighter, sturdier connections!

"This thing looks kind of ugly..." Lin Yue looked at the color, reminiscent of the "Aoli color," feeling a bit dissatisfied.

The shell of the Poison Celestial Dragon was scarlet, quite domineering, while the Blood Belly Worm Armor is the Aoli color. They're both insect-based, but the difference is pretty big, right?

Lin Yue couldn't help but compare the giant armor of the Poison Celestial Dragon to the Blood Belly Worm Armor, feeling even more disappointed.

But without the Intermediate Universal Upgrade Design Map, he had no other options.

As he attempted to pick up the Blood Belly Worm Armor, his foot bumped into the nearby giant armor of the Poison Celestial Dragon, causing it to roll and press onto the Blood Belly Worm Armor.

[Upgrading Blood Belly Worm Armor to Celestial Dragon Armor requires Universal Upgrade Design Map X2]

Lin Yue was baffled a second time ???

What's going on!?

This time the upgrade doesn't require any "Intermediate Universal Upgrade Design Map," just the regular one will do?

What exactly is the criteria for this judgment?

A flood of questions filled Lin Yue's mind. If it weren't for the giant armor of the Poison Celestial Dragon accidentally rolling onto the Blood Belly Worm Armor, he wouldn't have discovered this.

"Wait, does this mean that upgrading directly from Bone Armor to Celestial Dragon Armor is too big of a leap, but upgrading to the Blood Belly Worm Armor first and then to Celestial Dragon Armor is okay? Or is it that Bone Armor is a type of Beast Bone Armor, having a fundamental gap with Insect Armor, thus requiring the intermediate upgrade design map?"

Lin Yue pondered various possibilities.

He picked up the entirely scarlet Celestial Dragon Armor from the ground, noticing its thickness was similar to the original Bone Armor, yet puzzlingly, it wasn't as heavy as he imagined, rather quite lightweight.

Additionally, after putting it on, he found that the armor was breathable and well-fitting, and even a stab from the Outstanding Iron Spear could leave only a shallow mark.

"I remember this thing originally being fireproof?" Lin Yue recalled the battle scene with the Poison Celestial Dragon, noting that if he hadn't used an explosive method at the end, he might not have been able to take down the dragon.

So, should he assess the strength of this Celestial Dragon Armor?

[Celestial Dragon Armor: Made from the extremely hard shell of the Poison Celestial Dragon, it's sturdy, breathable, lightweight, waterproof, corrosion-resistant, fireproof, defends against general bullet penetration, with excellent durability and resistance]

Ah, this.

Is it just missing the phrase "a travel essential" as its slogan?

Just from the appearance and these features, this item seems almost like a "Divine Artifact," right?

Lin Yue tried fitting the Intermediate Exoskeleton MK2 over it and found it remarkably well-suited.

"Not bad, this significantly boosts defense, really nice."

Lin Yue expressed satisfaction, feeling that on defense he seemed to have no weaknesses now... wait, maybe he could also modify the helmet a bit?

He took out the Bulletproof Infantry Helmet he'd been using and, following previous steps, quickly acquired the Blood Belly Worm Helmet, upgrading it to the Celestial Dragon Battle Helmet!

The characteristics of the Celestial Dragon Battle Helmet were entirely identical to those of the Celestial Dragon Armor, and its overall appearance was much sharper, with each side of the upper slopes having a spike resembling antlers, other parts being smooth and covering all major parts of the head except the face.

Moreover, it came with a visor that, when worn, only exposed the eyes and breathing holes, exuding an aura reminiscent of ancient armor.

Lin Yue tried wearing the Battle Helmet on his head and found it equally breathable and comfortable, further satisfying him.

Profits from this move are quite significant.

Fighting enemies in this outfit, just the appearance alone is already quite shocking, and it also has many advantages, truly impressive.

But then again.

If he hadn't become the Domineering People of Fei Yue's Refugee Village, acquiring a robot dog and successfully creating the Exoskeleton wouldn't have been so simple.

And without this opportunity, upgrading the armor and helmet would have been indefinitely postponed.

He felt the necessity to assign Fei Yue the next task.

Alloy resources are completely depleted.

With frequent usage lately, making various items always requires some, and thus bit by bit he used up all the various alloys acquired with difficulty.

The only alloy left in his hands was steel, which he least wanted to use.

The steel was obtained from dismantling Tokyo Tower, but this material, wherever it's used, seems of little use, and because it rusts, Lin Yue didn't want it to form the main structure of the shelter. If used, it might only serve in constructing walls.

After all, the steel has too many downsides and virtually no upsides.

Like the medium-sized food preservation cold storage and small food processing plant that haven't been built due to the lack of alloys, he absolutely wouldn't dare use steel as the raw material.

So overall, he's still sorely lacking in various alloys at the moment.

Zinc alloy, hard aluminum alloy, as long as he can collect as much as possible, he'll want to take them all.

As for titanium alloy...

Lin Yue looked towards the door at the neglected Melting Furnace and the pile of iron titanium ore in the corner of the warehouse, shaking his head.

The Melting Furnace requires fuel that he doesn't have, and he has no clue how to transform iron titanium ore into titanium alloy.

Currently, progress in this area is stalled.

Unless he gets acquainted with some smelting experts, making headway even temporarily is impossible.

If the titanium alloy can really be produced, he can upgrade from small to large, truly ushering in the current technology into the realm of high technology.

Imagine, titanium alloy shelters, titanium alloy various firearms, titanium alloy walls, tools, diverse buildings...

If he could get a rocket spacecraft, he'd use titanium alloy at once.

"No, I still have to gather some alloys, arrange the medium-sized food preservation cold storage and small food processing plant; delay is not an option."

Lin Yue immediately contacted Fei Yue.

"Fei Yue, when you go to the Secret Realm, gather some alloys if you can. Trade 2 units of alloy for 1kg of vegetables, okay?"

After sending out the message, Lin Yue didn't receive an immediate reply from Fei Yue.

Perhaps Fei Yue was already in the Secret Realm.

He opened the World Trade Mall and browsed around.

There really were people selling alloys.

After the trading panel was upgraded to the World Trade Mall, its notable change is that the variety and quantity of goods for sale have grown geometrically.

He also saw that the number of people selling water was quite overwhelming.

It seems after this disaster, everyone possesses a large stockpile of water.

However, Lin Yue also noticed that many were selling not rainwater but underground river water even pure water.

Apparently, except for the group he's in, other groups didn't seem to suffer the kind of water shortages he imagined.

Indeed, many sellers offering alloys of various kinds.

Lin Yue searched and quoted prices using some vegetable resources for those with reasonable offers, quickly completing transactions.

[You obtained stainless steel X3, manganese steel X4, bronze X2, white copper X11, hard aluminum alloy X3, zinc alloy X2]

Quantity was not much, but the variety was considerable.

Lin Yue wasn't satisfied, as the remaining ones either raised their prices or set ridiculously high ones.

He placed his resources on the trading panel.

Vegetables, fruits, red wine, and whiskey were offered in exchange for alloys!

Like before, these were also presented as quotes.

Lin Yue felt he needed to understand whether around the world, people needed these items more than those in his original group.

And just as he was about to close the system panel, he glanced back at a large item in the warehouse.

"I wonder what a private plane can be exchanged for?"
