Survival for All: I can deconstruct projections and synthesize everything.

Lin Xiao: "..."

Lin Xiao: "Brother, I'll trust you this once..."

Lin Xiao confirmed the transaction, and the three steaming hot buns appeared in front of him.

"Deconstruction!"

"Deconstruction...30 seconds required. Deconstruct now?"

"yes!"

Deconstruction successful

Item Name: Pork Filling Buns

Description: Each item can instantly restore 5 points of stamina.

Projection Cost: 1 Stamina Point

Lin Xiao used 8 stamina points to project 8 steaming hot buns.

"synthesis!"

Pork Buns +10: Instantly restores 55 stamina points.

'Continuous Recovery: Recovers an additional 10 stamina points per minute for 10 minutes'

Stamina: 139/100

[Mental Strength: 180/100]

Lin Xiao looked at the +10 steamed bun in her hand and ate it in a few bites.

Stamina: 294/100

Actually, it's not that Lin Xiao can't eat that much bread, it's just that bread is okay to eat one or two at a time, but if you eat it every day, it's really hard to swallow.

After eating a steamed bun, Lin Xiao had his fill.

During this period, Lin Xiao's second and third simple wooden pickaxes were also put up for trade.

The simple wooden pickaxe with a heavy-hitting effect was exchanged for a box of pure milk from Dark Dairy.

The simple wooden pickaxe with its blood-sucking effect was exchanged for an orange of average size.

Lin Xiao didn't have any specific rules regarding the quantity, since once he got his hands on anything, the amount he could obtain in the future would be limitless.

Dark Dairy Pure Milk +10: Instantly restores 100 points of Spirit.

'Continuous Recovery: Recovers an additional 10 points of Spirit per minute for 10 minutes'

A total of 200 mental energy was restored.

Orange +10: Instantly restores 50 points of stamina and 50 points of mental energy.

'Continuous Recovery: Recovers an additional 5 points of Spirit and Stamina per minute for 10 minutes'

A total of 100 stamina and 100 mental energy are restored.

Lin Xiao's diet has now become more diverse.

"It's almost ready now. We have food, drinks, and even fruit."

Lin Xiao was satisfied with the present. He projected an orange, tore off a segment, and put it in his mouth, immediately showing a bitter expression.

"Ouch...why is it so sour?"

Lin Xiao frowned as she ate the orange completely.

After Lin Xiao gulped down a bottle of water, the sour taste of the oranges finally subsided.

Lin Xiao's physical strength has now reached 394, and his mental strength has reached 435.

After resting for a while, Lin Xiao resumed his activities.

He opened his system inventory, took out a Source Crystal, and placed it in his palm. Lin Xiao looked at the Source Crystal.

"Deconstruction!"

"Deconstructing the source crystal, time spent &#% (garbled text)...time spent one month"

Should it be deconstructed?

No! No!

"???"

"What the hell? A month?"

Lin Xiao looked at the time required to deconstruct the source crystal and was somewhat speechless.

However, this also proves that the Source Crystal is indeed very mysterious and precious.

"Since the Source Crystal cannot be deconstructed for the time being, let's just leave it for now and continue synthesizing other items."

After hesitating for a while, Lin Xiao spent 200 stamina and mental energy to project four Shadow Masks and then synthesize them.

Item Name: Shadow Mask +5

Brief Description: Tier 2. After donning the mask, one can create a clone with 300% of the original's attributes. This clone can be controlled at will, and its duration is unlimited. Like a human, it only disappears after suffering fatal damage.

『Link: The backpack is now shared with the main body, so there's no longer a need for the clone to return to the main body to deliver items. Furthermore, the main body's consciousness can now freely travel between the clone and the main body.』

'Shadow Birth: After the main body's consciousness enters the clone, it can control the clone's shadow. The shadow possesses basic intelligence and can stand up. The clone's shadow has 50% of the clone's combat power.'

"Triple the clone attribute, and the Shadow Birth effect hasn't even been used yet."

Lin Xiao's clone, even in its unequipped state, is now stronger than the original body.

Of course, for Lin Xiao, the stronger his clone is, the more likely his main body will survive.

Therefore, all dangerous situations are left to the clone that controls the main body to navigate, while the main body only provides guidance.

After brainstorming for a while, Lin Xiao focused his attention on the safe house that could already be upgraded.

Upgrading to a Small Log Hut requires: 200/200 Wood, 110/10 Source Crystals

"upgrade!"

Lin Xiao has been thinking about one thing since last night.

That is, in situations like last night, where many fog creatures surround the safe house, the vast majority of survivors are unable to eliminate all of those creatures.

If this situation continues until the end of the seven-day safe period, the number of survivors will likely drop sharply.

This was something Lin Xiao had been worried about.

However, if the Misty World wanted to completely eliminate them, it wouldn't take such a long and roundabout way.

Therefore, Lin Xiao concluded that there must be a way to survive without eliminating the fog creatures outside the safe house, and perhaps this method lies in the newly appeared source crystal.

After Lin Xiao closed his eyes and thought for a while, the upgrade of the Yuanmu House was completed.

[Safe House Level: Small Wood Hut, 100m², contains a trace of Source Crystal. Most low-level Mist creatures dislike the scent of Source Crystal and will avoid places where Source Crystal exists.]

"really!"

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up; the Source Crystal was indeed a crucial element in their survival journey after they had passed the safe period.

Lin Xiao looked around and found that the internal environment had changed quite a bit.

First of all, the size is the same as before, only the size of the house inside has changed, while from the outside it still looks like an ordinary-sized wooden house.

Moreover, Lin Xiao sensed the atmosphere inside the house and found that compared to the previous log cabin, the current log cabin seemed to have a different aura.

"Huh? What's this?"

Lin Xiao suddenly noticed that there was a groove in the safe house interface on the system, which looked like something could be filled in there.

[Groove in the Wooden House: You can fill it with items; installing different items will give the Wooden House different effects]

"Weapon slot?"

Upon seeing this introduction, those three words suddenly popped into Lin Xiao's mind.

Indeed, only by reaching the Origin Wood House could one truly establish a foothold in the Misty World.
