《My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!》Chapter 31: Absorbing The Damaged Cores

[Record]: Your continuous livestream is longer than fifteen minutes. The random airdrop reward will be issued one day before the next disaster.
After Su Mo heard the notification prompt from the game panel, he decisively entered the settings interface and turned off the livestream.
When he livestreamed, every move he made was monitored by billions of people.
If he was still in the modern age, he might laugh a few times and be happy that he was popular.
However, now that he was in the ruthless and greedy doomsday world, the more he showed, the greater the danger he was in.
After Su Mo sped to the spot on the hill where Scarface died, he thought to himself.
"Mmhmm, these people are going to be really hard to deal with. How troublesome."
It only took a gentle pull on the trigger to kill someone but dealing with those people was going to take some time.
If it was a rainy night, it would have been better because his smell would not waft far. However, if it was a very sunny day, he was going to attract a large number of mutant creatures in a day or two.
If things got worse, there might even be a plague outbreak.
After Su Mo opened up the creation page, he created another stone spear.
As he held the stone spear and endured the disgust, he moved Scarface by his shirt with the spear and breathed a sigh of relief.
In the modern world, he would not be brave enough to kill a chicken. He never expected that he was going to kill five people in the doomsday world.
Although those people were bandits, the moral concepts established within the human's consciousness during the civilized age were still there.
"Hey, what's this?"
After dragging away Scarface's corpse, Su Mo was surprised to find that below the spot where Scarface was lying face down, there was a tortoise shell that emitted a faint light.
"Isn't this what we get when we place our shelters when this whole thing started?"
After Su Mo picked up the tortoise shell, he was pleasantly surprised and began to look at the tortoise shell's properties.
[Damaged safe house core]:
The safe house is bound to the player. Once the player chooses to place it on a spot, it will be bound to the ground and cannot be moved.
When the player demolishes his own safe house, it will be damaged and cannot be placed onto another spot until it is repaired.
All items of the player are stored in the core of the safe house after their death.

[Record]: Player is detected to have a complete safe house core. Do you wish to absorb it?
"You can actually absorb the core of someone else's safe house?"
When he looked at the property on the game panel, Su Mo quickly walked over to the other three guys.
Sure enough, the guy with the glasses and the guy with the pockmarks also had a damaged safe house core under their faces.
When he got closer to the mouse-face guy, he found a complete safe house core that had not been placed before.
"Great!"
When Su Mo looked at the three damaged and one intact cores in his hands, he laughed out loud.
"A horse doesn't get fat without extra feed and people don't get rich unless they're met with a windfall.
"These people have robbed and killed so many innocent poor people, and now they've fallen under my hands. This is an eye for an eye, I suppose!"
He chucked the four cores into his backpack.
After that, he walked quickly to the side of the acid rain lake and began to dig a hole.
After gaining some things, Su Mo felt a bit lighter even though he was working hard on a dark rainy night. He could not wait to bury the corpses as soon as possible so that he could return to his shelter to absorb and see what happens.
Since it had been overcast and raining for the whole day, the soil on the ground was softer. After half an hour, Su Mo dug out a pit that was two meters wide, two meters long, and one meter deep.
After he dragged all the corpses of the bandits, one by one, into the pit with his stone spear, Su Mo quickly walked over to Huang Biao's body.
Huang Biao, who was still struggling on the ground before, made no more noise and only left a deep handprint on the ground.
After he moved his body with the tip of a spear, sure enough, there was also a damaged safe house core under Huang Biao's body.
"I can't bear to leave your corpse out in the wilderness after your leader came such a long way to send you your equipment. Anyway, be a good person when you reincarnate."
After soaking in acid rain,
Huang Biao's face rotted and did not look like a human anymore. He looked weird and terrifying, just like the zombies in the apocalyptic movies from Amurica.
He did not dare to look at his face up close and just dragged the grass raincoat on Huang Biao's body with the tip of his stone spear.

Step by step, Su Mo dragged the man into the big pit.
After pushing Huang Biao into the pit, Su Mo began to fill up the hole.
Gradually, as the soil covered over and the rainwater binded it, the five people were left inside the pit forever.
After he finished everything and shoved a branch on top to mark the spot, Su Mo went back from where he came from and arrived at the tunnel's entrance.
The tunnel door made out of wooden planks was quite convenient when going out. By the time Su Mo returned, a lot of water had already seeped into the passage.
When Su Mo looked at the tunnel entrance, he made some mental notes.
"If I want to travel a long distance, it would be a good choice to come out from this spot. Perhaps I can upgrade it."
After he called out the Survival System in his mind, the tunnel's property appeared.
[Passageway]
Description: A completed passageway
Upgrade option: Escapeway
Sections: Expansion (5), material (40), strength (200), access door (40)
Introduction: A cunning rabbit has three burrows!
"For the access door… I'll upgrade it into a stone material since I still have a lot of stones."
As he laid down the stones gradually, the access door's survival points requirement began to go down rapidly.
After 20 points, it stopped changing.
"I choose to upgrade the access door."
After spending 20 points, a green light emitted from Su Mo's body. After two or three breaths, the wooden door with a large gap suddenly became the same stone door as his shelter's main entrance. It looked secure and rainwater could no longer seep inside.
After Su Mo picked up a shovel and shoveled up a few scoops of dirt to cover up the stone access door, Su Mo returned to his shelter's main entrance with satisfaction.
He could forget about using the passageway made for raids daily unless he wanted to travel long distances or conduct raids.
'I'll only use it when I need to!'
He would be able to reduce the effects of the attacks during critical moments like today.
As for the problem of exposing his defenses during his livestreams, it was not an immediate worry for now.
After he went back to his main entrance, he looked at the bare stone walls that were excavated from both sides.
Su Mo did not know whether to laugh or cry.
His underground shelter became a normal ground shelter after being dug out by those people after a few hours.
"It's fine. I'll just leave it like that for now and I'll just have to wait until the rain stops to make some renovations."
After he went around it sized up the excavated area, Su Mo yelled toward the shelter,
"Oreo, open the door, I'm back!"
After he said that, he heard the sound of barking and scratching at the door. After a bang, the stone door cracked open.
The cunning Oreo peeked through the crack for a while first before it opened it up.
"What a good and clever little doggie."
Since Su Mo was wearing a raincoat, he could not pet Oreo's head. After motioning Oreo to move further, Su Mo closed the door, stood in the corner of the shelter, and took off his raincoat.
In the raid just now, he made two plans in total.
Plan A was him rushing out through the back door and while those people were unprepared, he would kill them abruptly by surprise.
Plan B was if there was no chance for him to do that, he was going to get Oreo to make some noise at the door so that it would attract them over there, and he was going to use that opportunity to kill them.
It was a pity that those people were a rag-tag group. Their combat abilities were extremely low, and they were not careful at all. That was why they probably did not expect that Su Mo would suddenly come out from behind to attack them.
After taking off his raincoat, Su Mo turned around and sat down on the wooden bench.
He looked at his brightly lit stone base and Oreo running to the table coyly.
Su Mo immediately felt at ease.
No one could have guessed it.
An hour ago, he was just an ordinary person struggling to survive in the wasteland world.
An hour later, he became the knight who took five lives, enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven.
After Su Mo took out the spoils of his fight, he held the tortoise shell with a rag in his left hand and had another rag in his right hand as he began to polish it carefully.
With the rag's polishing, the simple and unsophisticated tortoise shell started to shine like a jade.
After polishing all the cores, Su Mo picked up the damaged tortoise shell that he initially collected and when he called out internally, he selected the game panel's fusion function.
"Let's do the fusion with this damaged core first!"

Edge Cases (Book 1 Complete!)
Rare classes and powerful skills are helpful. Too bad the system doesn't seem built to handle them. What even are all these errors? Our team of outcasts and adventurers will have to rely on their trust - and the bane of all stories, healthy communication - just to survive, let alone understand what the system is doing. Because they're quickly realizing that it's doing something; to people, to monsters, and maybe even to the gods themselves. And their goal isn't just to survive; it's to make things better. It's a good thing they're not doing it alone. --- Edge Cases is an attempt to take the LitRPG genre and the overpowered MCs trope and write a story where numbers aren't everything. Sometimes it takes trust, support, and just a touch of being very, very clever. Expect a mix of action, slice-of-life, friendship, and ominous worldbuilding. Updates M-W-F at 6pm EST. Cover art by Alovck of Artstation, and typesetting by jessessey right here on RoyalRoad.

Trial of Champions
It all began with a family trip to an amusement park. How were any of us to expect being transported from Earth to participate in some "Trial of Champions," whatever that was supposed to be? Given only an hour to choose the Classes that would come to define our strengths, we were almost immediately torn away from one another and thrust into a deadly game of survival. It wasn't all bad, though, as terrifying as it could be from time to time. The supernatural and magical powers of the Classes were like something out of an RPG, complete with leveling up by killing monsters and completing so-called "Sub-Trials." And despite the juicy Experience to be gained from killing other Champion Contestants, not all of the participants were bloodthirsty murderers; some could be allied with, or even befriended. Even if it seemed like everyone who had been chosen for this Trial, no matter what universe they came from, was at least a little bit crazy. I would survive this till the end, and I'd make sure that my siblings and parents did as well, no matter how many times we were separated from one another. No matter how long it took. No matter what I had to do. --- A first-person litRPG incorporating classes inspired by D&D and other sources. If you like blue boxes but don't need to have huge lists of numbers to scratch your itch, you should be satisfied on that front. Each chapter is, in my word processing document, seven pages long (approximately 3300-3900 words). The Traumatizing Content warning is there because of discussions of certain topics. Nothing that I think deserves the warning actually happens in the story.
