Chapter 486: Chapter 248: New Chapter

Spring had ended, and at 8 a.m. on the first day of summer, everyone was teleported back to the base. The game had undergone earth-shattering changes.

First, the four major resource warehouses were canceled, with all resources except for building materials being converted into physical units. Building materials were not changed because they were too complex and interconnected with the workshops, serving as a small benefit Dawn left for hardcore players. Since there was no resource warehouse, there was no storage limit for building materials, and trees could be cut down to exchange for building material value with the system.

The expansion requirements for Doomsday Fortress shifted from the original 50 units of the five major resources to 250 units of building materials.

The system gave Doomsday Fortress a large freezer that ran without electricity for a month, and the first thing for the commander to do was unpack food into the freezer. Originally, one unit of food could be exchanged for two kilograms of beef or four kilograms of rice or flour, as well as vegetables and the like. The exchange was available for 24 hours, after which the exchange channel would close.

The capacity of the freezer was large, but relatively small compared to the massive amount of resources, which required Maya’s coordination skills on how to distribute the 15 units of food she had on hand. Of course, because of Shadow’s two farms, there weren’t big issues with staples and vegetables. Maya primarily got meats, and also exchanged for a few bags of rice and flour.

Meanwhile, Stone from Shadow went crazy, having truly become a farmer. The farm was no longer a duplicate. A large farm gave you four rows of soil, allowing the planting of 12 different crops. Each crop had a different harvest time, and gathering crops left seeds behind.

The beach was canceled, and all materials used in its construction were 100% recovered, including the Universal Card.

The eight units of gasoline of Doomsday Fortress turned into eight barrels of gasoline. Maya exchanged the ammunition packs for bullets. The medical packs were also exchanged for basic medications like alcohol, antibiotics, and bandages, which were then placed directly into the infirmary warehouse.

The second change was the cancellation of the item warehouse, requiring all items to be placed somewhere rather than being stored away.

The third change was that stains and garbage were no longer refreshed, including dirt on clothes. The restoration of bodily secretions meant personal hygiene became an issue players needed to consider.

In summary, it was basically about transitioning players from the digital world to the real world. Of course, some aspects were retained, such as skills, attributes, the kitchen, the infirmary, and so on.

Additionally, there was another significant change, which was the realization of attributes.

Physical Strength: Taking Double-body Snow Egg as an example, he was full of stamina, with endless physical strength. While others were exhausted after carrying wood once, he could carry it ten times while still full of energy. Furthermore, those with high physical strength had stronger immunity than others.

Agility: Fast, supple, and agile. Lin Wu in Doomsday Fortress was like Tarzan, easily leaping and jumping at will. While others used stairs to go upstairs, he could climb directly with both hands, swiftly ascending.

Strength: Just that, strength. While others could only lift 100 kilograms, he could lift 200 kilograms, or even 300 kilograms.

Will and intelligence were mental attributes, not physical ones, and couldn’t be physically manifested. In reality, this made sense, as physical attributes were evident, but mental attributes were not.

In addition, hunger and fatigue values were canceled, now directly reflected by the body’s condition. The original system mandated a minimum of five hours of sleep per day, which could be facilitated by the system. All these regulations had been abolished now.

...

The first nuisance that struck Doomsday Fortress: What to eat for lunch?

At ten in the morning, Lin Wu was surprised to find himself feeling hungry, wanting to eat something, and after asking around, discovered everyone felt the same. Busy with unpacking, Maya assigned the task of preparing lunch to Lin Wu and Dashuang. It was their own fault for asking her if they were hungry.

Lin Wu went to the refrigerator on the second floor with Dashuang, took a piece of pork and a bag of rice, and headed to the kitchen. Seasonings like salt were neatly arranged in the kitchen. Lin Wu placed the pork and rice on the preparation table, set it for a meal for four, and a menu appeared on the system. These were the dishes that could be made using pork, rice, and the available seasonings.

Braised Pork Rice: Four kilograms. Consumes two kilograms of pork, one kilogram of rice, some salt, monosodium glutamate, and soy sauce. Overall taste score: C+.

If the player wished, all seasonings like salt could be removed.

Lin Wu selected the preparation table to start cooking, and three minutes later, a plate of Braised Pork Rice appeared on an iron platter.

Dashuang said, "We have no dining table, chairs, or utensils."

Lin Wu, with a toothache, said, "And after eating, we’ll have to wash the dishes." They could choose not to wash them, but with so many people, he decided it was best to wash them.

Peanut went to carve chopsticks out of wood, Dashuang used materials to make iron bowls, and they used a foldable small table as a dining table. Five people sat on the ground to eat, and thus, the first meal at Doomsday Fortress was had.

The pork was fatty, too rich for Cotton, who after a few bites couldn’t eat it anymore. Peanut told her to pick out the pork and get some soy sauce from the kitchen to mix with her rice. Dashuang found some crackers and a packet of seaweed in the jumble of temporary materials, crushed them, and mixed them into the rice, making it barely edible.

Lin Wu praised Dashuang’s culinary skills: "I didn’t expect such simple additions to take the taste of the Braised Rice to another level."

Peanut ate heartily, nodding continuously, "Delicious, Dashuang, you must often cook at home, right?" His wingman had launched.

"Occasionally," Dashuang replied modestly: "I often eat instant noodles, and I like to add stuff in."

Lin Wu turned to Maya: "Dashuang seems to have a unique understanding of food."

Be a man, Maya sighed in her heart and said, "Dashuang, from now on you will be in charge of lunch and dinner. Is that okay?"
