Surviving Underground: Super Prompting System - Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Joseph’s New Home

[Base Upgrade Blueprint: European Two-Story Villa]

[Construction Requirements: stone ore x 300, cement x 100, wood x 500, metal x 15]

Looking at the materials required on the blueprint, Joseph did not hesitate at all. He immediately opened the trading platform and once again began his crazy trading journey.

Since he had the Upgrade blueprint, how could he not immediately upgrade it?

After all, Joseph had already accumulated a lot of materials for the upgrade blueprint. As long as he exchanged for some cement and wood, he could live in a comfortable villa.

Looking at the records of successful trades on the trading platform, Joseph could not help but sigh.

No wonder he could not save up materials. At this rate, he was afraid that his materials would not be able to last long.

However, when he thought of the group of survivors who still lived in the shabby wooden house, Joseph felt that the supplies he had used were not at a loss at all. In fact, he even felt that he had made a huge profit.

“Meow!”

Joseph was holding the Upgrade Blueprint and looking at the design of the new home that he would soon have. Then, Pistachio, that was on his shoulder cried out continuously.

It made a few sounds at Joseph before jumping onto the ground beside it. Its furry little claws were scratching at something.

“Hmm?”

Joseph saw the strange look on Pistachio and immediately understood that it must have discovered something.

Otherwise, how could the lazy little thing jump off its shoulder on its own accord.

Anticipation instantly appeared on Joseph’s face. He put away all the supplies and quickly walked over.

When he walked to Pistachio’s side, Joseph stared at the ground and was momentarily stunned.

There was a shiny object under Joseph’s feet!

This was actually… a crystal?

There were faint traces of smoke on this crystal, and there were charred bones all around it.

Staring at the crystal in front of him, Joseph immediately laughed happily.

The crystal was indeed powerful. It could not even be destroyed by the fire that Pistachio spat out.

However, after Joseph thought about the diamonds from his previous life, he felt relieved.

Although the Pistachio’s flames were powerful, they had not reached a temperature that could burn diamonds.

He bent down and squatted in front of the crystal. Joseph picked it up and examined it carefully.

He did not know where the Rat-Headed Priest obtained this crystal.

Then, it even inlaid it on the skeleton staff.

[crystal]

[Rare Resource]

[Description: a rare material used to forge equipment. It can be inlaid on the staff. It has weak Mana bonuses.]

[Remark: It originally belonged to a high-level Magical Beast, but one day, it was stolen by an annoying rat.]

The crystal was actually a Rare Resource?

Joseph stared at the prompt in front of him and immediately felt a trace of surprise.

Originally, Joseph was still wondering if he could find other crystals in the remains of the Rat-Headed Tribe.

After all, the Rat-Headed Priest was not very powerful. Other than picking up and digging, there was no other way to obtain crystals.

However, what he did not expect was that this crystal was actually stolen by the Rat-Headed Priest from the nest of a high-level Magical Beast.

Joseph was both surprised and happy about this!

It was not until a few minutes later that Joseph slowly digested the news.

However, Joseph put the crystal away with a flip of his hand, turned around, and rushed back to the Portable Base with happy.

According to the description of the crystal, a bad feeling appeared in Joseph’s mind.

There was a high-level Magical Beast nearby!

Otherwise, with the power of the Rat-Headed Priest, it would be impossible to leave the area too far away.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Joseph had to seize the time to upgrade the Portable Base to deal with the possible dangers that might appear.

Due to the urgency in his heart, Joseph quickly returned to the Cabin In The Forest.

“Upgrade the Portable Base!”

Standing in front of the blacksmith’s table, Joseph immediately put the blueprints and the necessary resources into it.

[Portable Base upgraded!]

[Consumption: stone ore x 300, cement x 100, wood x 500, metal x 15]

This upgrade immediately caused Joseph’s resources to be greatly reduced, but Joseph did not feel the slightest bit of heartache.

No matter how important the resources were, they were not as important as his own safety.

[Level-up countdown: ten minutes!]

[Requesting the survivors to leave temporarily! ]

Looking at the Cabin In The Forest that was once again shrouded in white fog, Joseph immediately carried pistachio and went to the open space outside.

He took out the roasted Demonic Pig Meat, and the two of them waited quietly.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

Joseph did not even finish the roasted meat in his hands. He simply threw it to pistachio and stood up to check out his new home.

The entire villa was in the European style. The main body was ten meters tall, and the surroundings were even painted with white paint. There were two floors in total, and there were large French windows that made the view unusually wide.

Pushing open the iron door, Joseph was pleasantly surprised as soon as he stepped into the villa. The white marble floor tiles emitted the smell of paint on the stairs and handrails. This was no different from the high-end villas on Earth.

The only thing that worried him was which windows. How could the hardness of the glass resist the attack of the Magical Beasts?

However, when he walked to the window, the system’s prompt once again gave him a pleasant surprise.

[Military Bulletproof Glass: immune to physical attacks from low-level Magical Beasts.]

“This is more like the underground world!”

Putting down the worry in his heart, Joseph began to look around with great interest.

He entered a living room that was as large as 100 square meters. It contained a 30-square-meter kitchen and a small bedroom.

When he walked up the stairs to the second floor, he found that the entire second floor was actually a large open bedroom.

A large bed that was five meters long and three meters wide was placed in front of a large French window. Opposite it was a transparent bathroom that was more than 20 square meters wide.

Stepping on the soft wool carpet on the ground, Joseph pushed open the door to the bathroom. A large bathtub that was three meters wide was the first thing he saw.

“I can finally take a bath!”

Looking at the clean and comfortable bathtub, Joseph quickly brought Pistachio to the kitchen. He cast the Water Ball Skill in the iron pot while urging Pistachio to heat it up.

They went back and forth for a long time before the bathtub was filled with hot water.

“Splash!”

Once Joseph jumped into the bathtub, he immediately sighed in comfort. “This is what life should be like!”

“Meow!”

However, before he could react, Pistachio imitated him and jumped into the bathtub, causing a splash.

“Pistachio!!!”

Pistachio listened to Joseph’s resentful voice while he happily played with the water.

Just like that, the cat and man began to play in the bathtub.

Joseph, who was tired from playing, laid comfortably in the bathtub. Then, he sent a picture of Pistachio playing with the water in the chat room.

It was accompanied by a crazy message!

“A bathtub without a water heater has no soul at all!”
