"How did you get here!" Masier looked toward the direction where Yu Yuan was hiding. That area was precisely her surveillance camera coverage zone, so she naturally understood he was here because he needed something from her.

Masier's outfit today was also quite unconventional; she was wearing a pair of overalls and had a pair of protective goggles on her head. Clearly, she had been in the middle of research when the intrusion alarm summoned her.

Yu Yuan didn't waste words either and asked directly: "Can you make me a BASE jumping parachute?"

"A BASE jumping parachute?"

Masier was dumbfounded. She looked at Yu Yuan incredulously, then turned her head to glance at their surroundings.

"No way! What do you need a BASE jumping parachute for? Are you planning to go BASE jumping in the city blocks? Aren't you afraid of becoming live target practice for the Thugs?"

Yu Yuan didn't explain himself in response to Masier's confusion.

"Just as a precaution, that's all. One more means of escape, that's all. Can you make it? I want the kind that's lightweight to carry, can deploy quickly at low altitudes, is agile to control, and quick to recover."

Hearing Yu Yuan's words, Masier's face turned green.

Yu Yuan's eyes lit up.

"Can it be done?"

"Are you dreaming?"

Masier was furious: "I'm just an artisan, not your wishing well! If you want to dream, go back to sleep!"

Yu Yuan looked at Masier's angry expression, was momentarily speechless, then shrugged.

"Uh... alright then! So can you make it? Other features are negotiable, but the low-altitude rapid deployment is a must!"

This time, Masier didn't immediately refute him but instead thought for a moment before looking back at Yu Yuan.

"Let me see what I can do! You're in luck, an old friend of mine was an extreme sports enthusiast. He was very proficient in both BASE jumping and paragliders. I actually helped him modify one before. Give me three... no, four days. Come back in four days!"

Hearing Masier's words, Yu Yuan nodded slightly and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped again.

"Oh, right, do you know any tailors?"

"Tailors? No, I don't. Why, do you need clothes made?" Masier asked curiously.

"Yes. Alright, then I'll come back again in four days!"

Watching Yu Yuan's departing figure, Masier's expression became serious. She closed the door properly and recalled Yu Yuan's earlier words.

"A tailor? Sister Mona used to be a fashion designer... Forget it, Sister Mona has been gone for several days now, with no news at all... Sigh, I'd better figure out how to handle this paraglider for him first! One is beholden to those from whom one accepts favors!" Muttering to herself, Masier returned to the underground workshop.

After bidding farewell to Masier, Yu Yuan no longer gathered supplies and instead headed straight back to the shelter.

After neatly arranging all the supplies listed on Taotao Hole in the warehouse, Yu Yuan went outside the shelter and looked toward the Resource Recycling Trash Can, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

Wow!

He picked up the bag of cement from the resource trash can, grinning from ear to ear.

He hadn't actually expected it to work.

Because the supplies generated by the Resource Recycling Trash Can over the last two days had been somewhat ordinary and unremarkable.

Yu Yuan had a sudden brainstorm and threw the pile of cement chunks from when he broke open the ladder exit into it. The result today was that it reverted back to cement for him.

Even though it was just ordinary cement, it still gave Yu Yuan a pleasant surprise.

Because now he had the materials to upgrade the walls to level 2.

He had never upgraded the shelter's [Walls] before because there was no urgent need.

But wanting to build a level 4 [Kitchen] or even other level 4 facilities started to impose requirements on the [Walls] level.

Now he needed to include upgrading the [Walls] into his plans.

Building level 1 walls was very simple, requiring only sand, stones, and steel. After buying these supplies from Taotao Hole, Yu Yuan built them directly. In less than thirty seconds, the level 1 walls were completed.

Upgrading to level 2 walls required cement, steel, and stones.

Yu Yuan directly chose to build; it would take 30 minutes to complete.

These steps were straightforward, but to upgrade the [Walls] to level three, he not only needed 5 bags of cement and 20 units of steel but also 50 hollow bricks, which would take some time.

Leaving the walls to upgrade there.

Yu Yuan went to the ventilation shaft location and called up the [Ventilation] upgrade option on the Virtual Light Screen.

[Begin construction of level 3 ventilation – Composite Ventilation Ductwork?]

[Yes]

As a large batch of supplies disappeared, the ventilation ductwork also entered construction and upgrade phase. The upgrade would take three hours.

"In three hours, I'll be able to optimize this level 3 ventilation into the [Geothermal Ventilation Ductwork]!"

Looking at that Rare optimization path within the level 3 ventilation facility, a flicker of eagerness passed through Yu Yuan's eyes.

This was the first shelter facility optimization path he obtained on his first day in the wasteland, and it was even Rare-tier.

It was now the fourteenth day since he entered the wasteland.

Half a month had passed, and he could finally build this automatic temperature-regulating facility.

Closing the Virtual Light Screen, Yu Yuan prepared clean water and green grass for Mie Mie, then went into the Bathroom himself to wash up.

As the cold water flowed over his body, Yu Yuan suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Ah! How could I forget about the water heater needed to upgrade the bathroom!"

Upgrading the level 3 Bathroom to level 4 required a heating rod, wire, a water tank, and a control panel – all common components for a water heater.

He already had the water tank and control panel. Most of the wire collected last time was used to upgrade the Generator.

So there was still a slight shortage in the amount of wire needed.

"Once it reaches level 4, I should be able to take hot showers, right!"

He took out today's High-Energy Sheep Milk, heated it up, and ate it along with some high-calcium biscuits, thus concluding today's breakfast.

"Food reserves are probably enough for just over a week. I need to strive to successfully cultivate this batch of mealworms!"

With this thought in mind, Yu Yuan went to the Magazine Display Stand.

However, no new additional items appeared today. Instead, two newspapers appeared. The new newspaper was called "The Green Forest Enterprise Star."

Yu Yuan checked the content, but his attention was caught by one news headline.

["Visiting Private Entrepreneur – Mr. Terence: How to Use Hot Springs to Create a Warm and Welcoming Stay Experience for Guests"]

Quality: Bronze

Danger Level: Low

Today we are fortunate to interview the founder and chairman of Spring Light Hotel – Mr. Terence.

Mr. Terence....

The entire report also included two interview photos. One was a photo of Terence himself, and the other was a group photo of him with his family.

And Yu Yuan's gaze immediately locked onto one figure in the photo.

It was that Baldy, Fries.

At this time, Fries was probably only in his twenties, and his hair was still quite thick.

The difference compared to his appearance earlier in the sewer was obvious; if you didn't look carefully, you might not necessarily recognize him.

Fortunately, Yu Yuan had seen a pre-wasteland photo of Fries in Ning Zhe's file, which is why he recognized him at a glance.

Then Yu Yuan's gaze shifted to the man standing beside him, who looked slightly older, his eyes profound.

If he wasn't mistaken, this person should be that Black Shield Police Department commander – Loris.
