Chapter 342: The evolution of transportation tools into combat machines!
"Ga-oo!"
Bai pushed open the alloy door of the Shelter, and a rush of cold air greeted it, making Bai feel quite comfortable.
Compared to the extremely muggy temperature outside, the interior of the Shelter was as cool and soothing as a cave with cold underground water, making Bai quite fond of it.
Bai felt a bit sorry for the others like Meng; they were indeed quite miserable, lacking proper cooling measures at the mine and had already spilled the large bottles of water left by their master, lying on them to cool down.
Bai exchanged a few words with Liu and Red Line, learning that their master was busy opening treasure chests in the living room.
Though Bai thought those square boxes were somewhat excessive, even filling the basement, it still loved the light they reflected.
"Bai, you're back, huh?"
At this moment, the master's voice echoed from the living room, and Bai immediately pushed open the door and stepped inside.
The master stood in the center of the living room, before him a heap of silver, gold, and platinum treasure chests. Bai lowered its head and suddenly remembered something.
"Ga-oo!" Bai pointed outside with its arm and then gestured a square shape with its paw.
"Boxes? Ah, the air drop, right, almost forgot." Lin Yue finally understood what Bai meant; not only were these treasure chests unopened, but there was also an air drop outside.
When Lin Yue took down that giant creature resembling both a spider and an armored beast—the Spider-shaped Armored Beast—not only did he receive a Platinum Treasure Chest, but also a reward from the air drop. This was a system reward, a customary routine with each encounter.
He closed the system panel.
The impactful image displayed on the overall partition map before him, Lin Yue wondered whether he was the only one who could decipher it or if many others already knew.
However, this enormous overall partition map was a new function that emerged only after he had almost completely explored the map of the Desert; it wasn't visible before.
Perhaps, this secret was his alone?
Lin Yue thought it necessary to find someone to discuss this with; mere speculation might not yield the right answer.
Although the shapes of the peninsulas and islands on the map were extremely distinctive, could it be that he was over-interpreting, infusing known knowledge and hence reaching such conclusions?
Anything is possible.
So, a candidate for discussion...
Fei Yue seemed like a good choice.
This person had grown a lot and was cleverer than expected, possibly offering alternative perspectives.
Oh, the matter of eggs should also be addressed; there was a pile of eggs at hand that hadn't been used yet.
With this in mind, Lin Yue decided to finish urgent tasks first and then contact Fei Yue, asking about their situation.
Fei Yue was an important ally, one of the few trustworthy companions in this Otherworld.
As for issues like the Domineering People, let them be; Lin Yue had no intention of taking that role anyway.
Becoming the Alliance Leader wasn't even worth a mention.
Lin Yue promptly opened the door, circled around the Shelter, and found the parachute landed behind the Shelter, indeed tough to spot without careful attention.
He took out the Fire Axe and swung it at the wooden crate.
The contents inside were not treasure chests, just two things resembling paper like before.
"What could it be this time? A design map or a Duplication Coupon?"
Lin Yue was quite interested in the things inside.
Every time, something quite good was uncovered; if more Duplication Coupons or Intermediate Universal Upgrade Design Maps could be found, it would be ideal.
[You've obtained one Large Warehouse (Fully Enclosed) Design Map and one Medium Cold Storage Design Map]
Design maps, huh...
Not bad.
Recently, there haven't been many design maps from treasure chests, so the system dropping design maps is certainly okay.
Moreover, both seemed quite useful.
The current medium warehouse had limited capacity and was open on all sides, with large pillars supporting the roof. The imminent giant hail would sure cause massive damage, not to mention the dragon tornado sweeping through directly.
He checked the design map of the Large Warehouse behind the Shelter.
25 metal pieces, 200 units of stone—none of these was an issue.
Especially the stone; they extracted a vast amount from the Berg Mine previously, and there was still plenty left unused, now just ripe for use.
[You've constructed four Large Warehouses!]
All available materials allowed for building only these four.
A flash of white light, and the large warehouses aligned tightly near the Shelter were quickly completed!
Lin Yue intentionally built the four large warehouses tightly together, successfully merging them, naturally linking their walls to the outer walls of the Shelter.
He walked around, observing every warehouse covering nearly six hundred square meters, totaling twenty-four hundred square meters of vast storage space, taking in the sealed outer walls, alloy doors, and alloy roof, knowing it was time to abandon the previously semi-open medium warehouse.
Twice the size and sturdier—wasn't this far better?
Lin Yue opened the door of one giant warehouse, stepping onto the stone floor inside, noting the sparse yet substantial pillars lining the empty walls.
