10 Chapter 10: Technology Products in the Cave Mansion_1

As the time of the second wave of apocalypse grew closer, Dong Tianyu kept checking the supplies he had prepared.

Taylor Oliver had sent over the list of cigarettes to Dong Tianyu the night before. Although Dong Tianyu did not smoke much, he was still familiar with different brands of cigarettes.

However, he was shocked when he saw the brands that Taylor had sent over, not expecting there to be so many brands of domestically produced cigarettes.

According to the prices on the list, Dong Tianyu would have to pay several million as a deposit.

At this point, he had almost spent all of his digital currency, with only a few tens of thousands left in his card. However, this was not a problem for Dong Tianyu.

An essential skill for those reborn in the apocalypse was to fleece loan companies, especially for people like Dong Tianyu who had social insurance and a stable income. The credit limit given to them was quite high.

In the end, he was surprised that although the limit given by individual companies was not high, when all the diverse companies were added together he had achieved a tenth of his small target in his card.

Of course, if the apocalypse were to come, Dong Tianyu's current behavior would be a free ride, otherwise he would be saddled with a tremendous debt.

But man proposes, God disposes. Although he managed to earn enough deposit by fleecing, Taylor Oliver required cash in full for the collection of cigarettes.

Dong Tianyu, left with no choice, allowed Taylor Oliver to help with stockpiling first, storing goods in the warehouse and promising to pay in full within three months.

Of course, if he were to store goods, Dong Tianyu did not have that much influence with Taylor Oliver. To let Taylor help, Dong Tianyu had to pay an extra million as a storage fee and also knew where the warehouse storing the cigarettes was.

Since these goods were theoretically illegal, the location of the warehouse was quite remote and few people would go there.

Believing that it was almost time, Dong Tianyu took out a loan to buy a 4.2-meter blue-plate box truck and parked it inside the cave mansion.

Although the technology-side products in the cave mansion were all converted to the mystical side when the refuge center was bound, this does not mean that technology-side products cannot be used inside the cave mansion.

Technology-side products can be used as usual in the cave mansion, otherwise there wouldn't be any livestock-related fully automatic small breeding rooms or plant related fully-automatic irrigation systems.

Dong Tianyu was fully focused while driving up the mountain. When the contractor was constructing the mountain cave, they had conveniently widened and flattened the road up the mountain.

But because no extra money was spent, they had merely used a road roller to do so. Although it was fine at the time, after a few years, it has become a dirt road.

Fortunately, not many people go up the mountain normally, so this road does not change much. The small truck swayed its way to the platform before the cave.

Looking at the ancient-styled door at the cave entrance, who could have thought that it would be a refuge center inside, let alone a mystical-side refuge center.

When Dong Tianyu got out of the car and opened the front door, he was thinking that if he had chosen the technology side, the door of the cave would have been an automatic electronic door.

There should be an artificial intelligence system in the shelter. It may not be the level of "Red Queen", but at the very least it would be as good as "Friday". Then he wouldn't need to worry about the various matters in the shelter.

But after thinking about it, the mystical side has something similar as well, it's just that the conditions to create it are much more difficult than on the technology side. Perhaps the biological side should have something similar from the get-go.

As he drove the small truck through the gate, Dong Tianyu heard a notification from the System.

"Ding! Technological items detected entering the Cave Mansion. Do you wish to consume survival points to convert it into a mystical item?"

"Do not convert!"

Dong Tianyu was already used to the notifications. Anytime a new item entered, the notification would invariably sound.

However, at present, Dong Tianyu found the technological items to be more convenient to use than the mystical items.

Take the fully automatic small breeding room that he had previously converted for example, after consuming survival points for conversion, there were two options given.

Consume 10 survival points to integrate it into the cave mansion, slightly increasing livestock growth speed within the mansion, slightly increasing livestock health levels within the mansion, slightly reducing livestock disease probability within the mansion.

Consume 100 survival points to convert it into a livestock shed, moderately increasing livestock growth speed within the shed, moderately increasing livestock health levels within the shed, moderately reducing livestock disease probability within the shed.

These two options seem good, enhancing growth speed, health levels, reducing disease probability, all three buffs are positive enhancements.

But calm down and think, while this conversion seems attractive, in terms of practicality, it is not that good.

Firstly, there is no sunlight in the cave mansion. Although the glowstones in the cave mansion can provide light, they only provide illumination and cannot meet the needs of Lyudin Chickens.

Not only that, the fully automatic small breeding room can perform automatic feeding, automatic water storage, regular cleaning, and automatic egg collection.

But the mysterious side's livestock shed cannot do this. To raise Lyudin Chickens, Dong Tianyu has to personally feed them, store water, clean, and collect eggs, which is a tremendous waste of time.

Not just in terms of livestock, cultivation is the same, and Dong Tianyu sometimes wonders if he was a bit hasty when he chose the mystical side.

The anticipated various cultivation methods and magic artifacts never showed up. Aside from the Shadow Space, the other functions were not of much use in his current situation.

After all, whether it's absorption or conversion, things must first be brought into the cave mansion. And if he wanted to convert technological objects into mystical objects, he needed to consume survival points.

The source of survival points is quite simple. After the first wave of apocalypse, Dong Tianyu can receive two points every day. One point is from the mansion level, and the other point is from the apocalypse wave bundle.

If you compared the consumption needed to convert the fully automatic small breeding room into a livestock shed, you would know how strong the purchasing power of survival points is. At this time, Dong Tianyu only had a little over two thousand points left. It seems like a lot, but this was what was left after three years of saving.

Of course, a good means of transport is very important, but one should also analyze sensibly. Firstly, there is the issue of the appearance after conversion. For example, he might end up with a horse-drawn cart after conversion, there might be issues even getting into the city center.

Of course, when the electromagnetic pulse occurs, traveling by cart will become normal since modern vehicles rarely have a purely mechanical structure. One electromagnetic pulse would destroy 99% of the cars on the market.

After checking the Lyudin Chicken feed and mushroom bag quantity in the Shadow Space, Dong Tianyu felt these two things would ensure meat and vegetable supply in the refuge center when winter came.

The customized cold-resistant clothing ordered online was said to be made following the design of a spacesuit. It was waterproof, fire-resistant, and anti-corrosive. The clothing also had an independent oxygen supply system and a temperature regulation system. Other than the unaffordable price, it had no other downsides.

Dong Tianyu ordered a set to test it first. After confirming its effectiveness, he ordered another five sets.
