Global Shelter Game

Ye Yun opened the public chat room.

"WTB [Advanced Bioroid Core (Blue)], buying price: 30 Blue Components."

"If you have one, DM me directly to trade. Thanks."

He posted the same message again in three private chat rooms.

As soon as Ye Yun’s post went up, it immediately caught the attention of many people.

"This Ye Yun guy hasn’t been around for a long time. I thought he was dead!"

"Is this thing really that valuable? If I’d known, I wouldn’t have used mine!"

"30 Blue Components... you could buy almost three pieces of blue-rarity equipment with that."

"I thought this top player had vanished. Why’d he suddenly pop back up?"

"Isn’t 30 Blue Components a little low? Didn’t someone say you can only get one [Advanced Bioroid Core (Blue)] by killing a Manager?"

"Have none of you realized the most important part of this message? Buying the [Advanced Bioroid Core (Blue)] is secondary. The crucial part is that he only needs to buy *one*, which means the big shot is just one short of his goal."

"HOLY CRAP!!! Now that you mention it, that does seem to be the case!!!"

"My God, a top player is a top player. His strength is still on another level!"

...

Ye Yun’s brow twitched. He hadn’t expected other Managers to deduce so much from a simple ’want to buy’ post.

’Figures. There are no fools among those who’ve managed to survive in this wasteland.’

’Good thing I’ve always kept a low profile, and I’ve barely shown my face at all recently. Otherwise, they’d probably have figured out all my secrets by now.’

Ye Yun ignored their questions and flattery, waiting quietly for a moment. His friend requests shot up to 99+, and he accepted them all with a single click.

He waited a little longer, but no trade requests popped up. Ye Yun frowned slightly. ’Are they all just messing with me?’

Just as he was considering opening their chat windows to see what they were saying, a trade request finally appeared before him.

Seeing the item placed in the trade window, Ye Yun nodded in satisfaction.

[Advanced Bioroid Core (Blue)]

Without hesitation, Ye Yun quickly placed 30 Blue Components into the trade slot and sent them over.

[Trade Successful]

[You have obtained [Advanced Bioroid Core (Blue)]]

Having gotten what he wanted, Ye Yun didn’t wait and immediately used the [Advanced Bioroid Core (Blue)].

[Use [Advanced Bioroid Core (Blue)]]

[[Advanced Bioroid Core (Blue)] used successfully. Luck stat increased: 5 > 6]

Seeing that all of his stats had now reached 6, Ye Yun felt a surge of excitement.

He didn’t know what would be triggered now that all his stats were at 6.

But he was sure it wouldn’t be anything bad.

[Advanced Bioroid all-stat average has surpassed 6. Special upgrade condition triggered.]

This didn’t surprise Ye Yun, as he had seen something similar once before when upgrading his bioroid.

As the system notification appeared, Ye Yun noticed a white light suddenly erupt from his body.

Immediately after, he felt a warm current surge from deep within him, instantly spreading throughout his entire body.

Wherever the warmth passed, he could clearly feel every cell in his body cheering with joy.

He could feel his body undergoing some kind of wonderful transformation.

[Advanced Bioroid has met the special upgrade requirements.]

[You have received one [Evolution].]

[The [Evolution] choice cannot be reversed. Please choose carefully.]

Ye Yun immediately opened his status panel.

[Evolution]

He noticed a new option had appeared at the very bottom of the system interface.

[Evolution]. Ye Yun’s heart stirred, and he immediately selected the evolution option.

The next moment, a brand-new interface appeared before his eyes.

[Evolution Type]:

[1. Management Evolution] [Invest any resource to randomly obtain one management-type skill]

[2. Individual Evolution] [Invest any resource to randomly obtain one personal-type skill]

Looking at the two evolution paths, Ye Yun raised an eyebrow slightly.

’The two paths are clear at a glance,’ he thought. ’It’s either logistics or personal combat.’

For others, this might require some consideration, but for Ye Yun, it wasn’t a very difficult choice.

He wasn’t a brute like Lei Hu, who enjoyed leading his members in a charge. He much preferred the relative safety of the shelter.

After gaining enough power to protect himself, he was indeed willing to leave the shelter, but that didn’t mean he was willing to lead the charge and engage in bloody, close-quarters combat. He just wanted to see the outside world.

Without hesitation, Ye Yun immediately chose the management path.

[Please invest the corresponding resources to proceed with the evolution.]

Seeing the prompt, a mysterious smile touched the corners of Ye Yun’s lips.

’Excellent.’

Ye Yun casually took a White Component from his warehouse.

[Assessment Type: Skill Draw]

[Assessing risk for this action...]

[Assessment: White Item Probability 100%, Green Item Probability 0%, Blue Item Probability: 0%, Purple Item Probability: 0%, Risk Factor: 0%]

...

Looking at the new prompt, Ye Yun stroked his chin.

’The probability of getting a skill is definitely related to the resource invested.’

So, he invested a Green Component.

[Assessment Type: Skill Draw]

[Assessing risk for this action...]

[Assessment: White Item Probability 99%, Green Item Probability 1%, Blue Item Probability: 0%, Purple Item Probability: 0%, Risk Factor: 0%]

...

Confirming his suspicion, Ye Yun directly took out 100 Blue Components.

[Assessment Type: Skill Draw]

[Assessing risk for this action...]

[Assessment: White Item Probability 0%, Green Item Probability 0%, Blue Item Probability: 100%, Purple Item Probability: 0%, Risk Factor: 0%]

Ye Yun frowned slightly.

’If this were a normal bioroid upgrade, a blue skill would be fine. But this is my own skill. Blue seems a little lackluster.’

Ye Yun tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop. ’In that case, I might as well go big.’

Ye Yun went to his warehouse and took out the only purple-rarity component he had.

[Energy Gem (Purple)]

[Description: A gem that contains immense energy.]

He had gotten this thing from Bena over ten days ago but had never figured out what to do with it.

’Since this upgrade seems so crucial, I might as well put this to good use.’

[Assessment Type: Skill Draw]

[Assessing risk for this action...]

[Assessment: White Item Probability 0%, Green Item Probability 0%, Blue Item Probability: 90%, Purple Item Probability: 10%, Risk Factor: 0%]
