Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits - Chapter 160 - 140: Lord
Chapter 160: Chapter 140: Lord
“It seems that the situation at the center of the wilderness needs to be considered.”
Even without considering the upgrade of the gates and walls, simply upgrading from a Level 4 Safe House to Level 5 already takes ninety-three days, which is too long. Wuyin Village is about to upgrade to a town level, and he must quickly upgrade the safe house to Level 5. Only with two Level 5 cores will the Su Family’s position in the future town-level camp be truly stable.
Right now, all house upgrades are stalled due to a lack of Shadow Cores, and there’s only one thing Su Lin can do.
— Build the Smoked Meat Room!
“Finally…”
Su Lin let out a long sigh of relief, unable to suppress the joy on his face.
With the Smoked Meat Room, the issue of bone refinement that’s been troubling him for a long time finally has hope of being resolved! Those two pieces of Tier One Treasure Meat only need to be smoked for two weeks to transform into something akin to Tier Two Treasure Meat!
He eagerly went to the backyard.
Su Lin eagerly headed to the backyard.
The backyard was long and narrow, about twenty meters long but less than two meters wide.
Apart from the cellar for storing meat, this was also where Su Lin and the others practiced martial arts daily or where Su Tongxi dried jerky and wild vegetables.
The only entrance and exit was the kitchen back door, and with the nearly eight-meter-high wall, it offered great privacy.
He summoned the house title deed, selected a location next to the cellar, and confirmed construction.
A large amount of aromatic wood and other materials stored inside the house disappeared instantly, and a phantom building appeared in its place.
What was called the Smoked Meat Room was not a traditional room but rather a special small building that was supposed to be built on the rooftop.
The main body was a small room about one square meter in size and nearly two meters high.
The base was a square foundation made of granite, on which aromatic wood was stacked to form a wooden hut.
A pipe extended from the base, connecting to a smoke and fire stove.
According to the house title deed, the fire stove did not require fuel; it only needed to consume two silver coins per day to automatically keep the fire burning all day long.
The construction speed of special buildings was very fast; even a Tier One building took only an hour.
When the Smoked Meat Room finally solidified into shape, Su Lin clenched his fists, a smile blooming on his face as he lightly patted the wooden wall that emitted a faint aroma.
“I went through a lot of trouble to build this. Now, it’s finally done!”
The mechanism for the wall was still being constructed, but Su Lin couldn’t wait any longer to go to the old mansion to fetch the two pieces of treasure meat for smoking.
After notifying Su Tongxi, he hurried out.
The sun was warm, and a gentle breeze was blowing.
Amidst the greetings of “Deputy Captain Su,” Su Lin briskly stepped into the Su Family’s old mansion.
Just as he crossed the threshold, a loud, hearty, and strong voice exploded in his ears:
“Good boy! I heard you ’tricked’ that Song Yiren into bed?! And even ’tricked’ a Tier One Mechanism Blueprint out of them?!”
The joyful look on Su Lin’s face froze immediately, and the veins on his forehead twitched slightly, even the surprise of the old man’s breakthrough was somewhat overshadowed by these crude words.
Suddenly, a burly figure appeared in front of him in an instant.
“So fast!” Su Lin was shocked.
When he saw who it was, he was even more dumbfounded:
“You… who are you?!”
The person before him wasn’t the white-haired old man he remembered.
This was simply a replica of the Su Lin’s father from his memory!
The man in front of him appeared to be no more than middle-aged, in his thirties or forties, handsome in appearance, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, standing over two meters tall, very tall, with long ape arms, a strong back, a slim waist, and long legs. His limbs were robust and long, with a perfectly built body that even made Su Lin envious.
Did he come out of JOJO?!
And who the hell is this?!
The man saw his astonishment and burst into laughter:
“Can’t recognize me, can you? Old Second! Quickly introduce me to this boy, lest he thinks I’m an imposter!”
Su Qi smiled and closed the courtyard door, nodding in confirmation:
“Who else could it be? Naturally, it’s your grandfather.”
“Grandfather?!” Su Lin’s eyes widened, sizing up the completely transformed Su Can, in disbelief.
“Hahaha! How about it?”
Su Can laughed heartily, putting an arm around his grandson’s shoulder. Su Lin, who was over six feet tall, appeared somewhat “diminutive” in his embrace.
“You managed to coax a blueprint from the young lady, and your grandfather’s rejuvenation is no less impressive, is it?”
His tone was full of pride.
His sister-in-law Zhao Yaxin and young niece Su Yingying were also in the hall.
At this moment, not only was Su Qi wearing a warm smile, but even Zhao Yaxin had a rare gentle smile on her face.
“Little Uncle! Great-grandfather looks so young now! Younger than Grandpa!” Su Yingying exclaimed with innocent excitement, her little face brimming with joy.
Su Lin couldn’t help but ask:
“Grandfather, your appearance…is it a change after unlocking the Bone Lock and breaking through to the First Transformation?” It was the only reason he could think of.
A gleam flashed in Su Can’s eyes as he nodded emphatically: “That’s right!”
Su Lin was astonished: “After the First Transformation, one can actually reverse aging?”
“What do you think the ’transformation’ in ’First Transformation’ means?” Su Qi laughed and shook his head, “’First Transformation’ implies a rebirth, a change that far surpasses anything conceived before the apocalypse. The old man now, well, calling him a superman wouldn’t be an exaggeration. The difference between transformed and non-transformed is like night and day!”
“…A rebirth.” Su Lin was overwhelmed, gazing intently at the old man.
The renewed Su Can smiled and nodded at him.
The First Transformation had such miraculous effects?
How much would his strength have increased?
Su Lin was full of anticipation.
Su Qi could hardly contain his excitement, his voice unintentionally rising:
“Today, we have triple happiness in the Su Family! Linzi advanced to a Level 4 Safe House, joyfully gained a Tier One mechanism! The old man successfully broke through, achieving the First Transformation!”
Zhao Yaxin’s lips curved gently as she softly echoed:
“Heaven bless the Su Family.”
“That’s right!” Su Qi nodded vigorously, his joy evident.
The First-Transformed Martial Artist!
Tier One Mechanism!
With these two pillars, the Su Family now possesses both!
