The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

[Handheld Weapon Lv3 (Green): Damage is reduced by 25% when attacking level 4 elite mutated creatures, and by 50% when attacking level 5 elite mutated creatures, decreasing sequentially. Damage is increased by 50% when attacking level 1 elite mutated creatures, and by 25% when attacking level 2 elite mutated creatures.]

[Note: This weapon is of green quality, corresponding to elite-level equipment. It deals bonus damage to low-quality creatures, with the effect decreasing against higher-level creatures.]

After seeing this attribute, combine it with the armor you obtained earlier.

Su Mu roughly judged the general effect of this equipment.

Equipment is divided into levels and tiers. The higher the level of either, the greater the damage increase.

Simply put, his current pistol is of equal strength against LV3 green-grade monsters (which should be elite-level monsters), but it deals increased damage against monsters below LV3 or below elite-level monsters.

Of course, it's also possible that the monster is level 3 or higher than an elite monster, or level 3 or lower than an elite monster. There should be some kind of algorithm involved, but it's not clear to him at the moment.

Even so, the power of this gun is undeniable, and it is certainly sufficient for most purposes at present.

The only downside is that I only have seven bullets left, and there's no way to get more.

We can only wait and see if there are any relevant clues on the channel.

After thinking for a moment, Su Mu put the pistol aside and then picked up the glass bead.

【Ice and Fire Twin Cotton Seeds (Green)】

[Type: Special Plant Seeds]

[Effect: After planting, it can grow into Ice and Fire Twin Cotton. The cotton fibers harvested after maturity can be used to make "Constant Temperature Clothing"]

[Thermostatic clothing effect: When worn, it can regulate extreme temperatures from -15 degrees Celsius to 40 degrees Celsius, while also providing weak physical protection.]

[Growth cycle: 15 days]

[Growing conditions: Requires planting in at least 1 cubic meter of soil, watering once daily, and ensuring adequate sunlight]

[Note: This plant has high environmental requirements; it may wither if not properly cared for.]

Su Mu frowned slightly as he looked at the introduction.

Clothing to protect against extreme temperatures?

The practicality of this item is beyond doubt. Its value would be immeasurable should it encounter extremely cold or hot environments later on.

But the problem is-

How to plant it?

Water daily, keep it in sunlight...

That's easy to arrange; the cable car has windows on all four sides, so there's plenty of sunlight during the day. Watering can also be done with bottled water.

The problem is the soil.

He looked at his cable car; now, there wasn't even a cubic meter of soil left, let alone a place to put a flowerpot.

Even with enough space, transporting the soil up would require at least two landing attempts, since one cubic meter of soil is quite heavy...

Su Mu shook his head and carefully put the seeds away.

We don't need it for now, but we have to keep it.

We'll consider planting again once the cable car is upgraded, the space is larger, and resources are plentiful.

Finally, he picked up the bottle of blue potion.

[Small Strength Boosting Potion (Green)]

[Type: Consumable]

[Effect: Permanently increases Strength by 10 points after consumption]

[Note: This medication is only effective on the first use; repeated use will not reduce its effectiveness.]

Permanently increase strength by 10 points?!

Su Mu's eyes lit up.

After this trip, he deeply realized the importance of strength.

Weight-bearing capacity, attack power, and even the suppressive force in close combat are all linked to strength.

I originally only had 8 points of strength. But this potion added 10 points!

Without any hesitation.

Su Mu unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted his head back, and drank the medicine in one gulp.

The liquid entered my throat, carrying a slight coolness that quickly spread throughout my body.

next second.

A warm sensation rose from my abdomen and quickly spread throughout my body. My muscles tensed slightly, and my bones made a soft cracking sound, as if something was growing and strengthening inside me.

It lasted for about five seconds, then everything returned to calm.

Su Mu clenched his fist.

He could clearly feel that his power had become stronger.

I was panting heavily every step I took carrying those three packages upstairs; carrying 38KG was already close to my limit.

But now—

Su Mu reached out and grabbed a bed sheet bundle at his feet. Inside were about ten bottles of mineral water and some food, weighing at least ten kilograms.

Relaxed.

Effortless.

He then tried stacking the three packages together and lifting them up all at once.

Although it was still a bit strenuous, it was noticeably easier than before.

18 points of strength.

Su Mu opened his personal panel, and the data there had been updated:

Name: Su Mu

[Level: 1]

Race: Human

Hunger level: 65

【Strength: 18】

[Physical Fitness: 7]

【Spirit: 16】

Strength jumped from 8 points to 18 points, and the weight capacity increased to 90 kg.

It more than doubled.

Su Mu nodded in satisfaction.

Furthermore, with 18 points of strength, he's already on par with adult goblins. Combined with the talent "Any attack will lock onto the monster's weak point," his chances of success in close combat increase significantly.

However, now is not the time to be proud.

He glanced out the window.

It was already getting dark.

According to the survival guidelines, nighttime is extremely dangerous, and the cable car is vulnerable to attack.

The cable car must be reinforced as soon as possible.

Su Mu took out the [Universal Level 2 Cable Car Upgrade Blueprint].

Now that the blueprints are inside the cable car, the data on them has indeed changed.

On the drawings, the previously blurry numerical values ​​are now clearly displayed as four upgrade directions:

[Option 1 (Protective): Consumes 10 Iron Ingots. After upgrading, the cable car's armor is increased to 40, its space is expanded to 4 cubic meters, and it can bear a weight of 4 tons.]

[Option Two (Balanced): Consumes 7 Iron Ingots and 3 High-Strength Glass Essence. After upgrading, the cable car's armor is increased to 30, its space is expanded to 4 cubic meters, and it can bear a weight of 4 tons.]

[Direction 3 (Vision Type): Consumes 2 Iron Ingots and 8 High-Strength Glass Essence. After upgrading, the cable car's armor is increased to 20, the space expands to 4 cubic meters, and it can bear a weight of 4 tons. Gains the trait "Panoramic Vision": The glass ratio is greatly increased, providing a wider field of view.]

【Direction Four (Special Type): Consumes 7 Iron Ingots, 3 High-Strength Glass Essences, and 1 Ice-Fire Twin Cotton Seed. After upgrading, the cable car's armor is increased to 20, the space is expanded to 4 cubic meters, and it can bear a weight of 4 tons. Gains the trait "Winter Warmth and Summer Coolness": It can automatically adjust the temperature inside the cable car to a comfortable range between -15 degrees Celsius and +40 degrees Celsius, which can cope with non-extreme weather and greatly reduce the heat and cold caused by weather changes.】

Su Mu didn't hesitate for a second and immediately pointed to direction four.

The armor is made to the highest standards.

He couldn't grow the Ice and Fire Twin Cotton seeds anyway—the cable car couldn't even hold a handful of soil, let alone a cubic meter. Rather than letting them go to waste, he'd better use them for upgrades.

Moreover, its "warm in winter and cool in summer" feature makes it incredibly practical.
