Elevator Survival: Master of Every Floor

The elevator door closed completely, and the deafening roar from earlier also disappeared from Lin Feng’s ears.

Now, Lin Feng only hoped that the dinosaur egg he had picked up could successfully hatch and recognize him as its master. That way, he would have a powerful assistant when exploring the floors in the future.

After putting the dinosaur egg safely in bed and wrapping it up, Lin Feng continued with his exercises for the day.

After working out for three hours, Lin Feng finished the last can of beef and drank some water before going to sleep.

He didn’t know if it was because of the food, but ever since arriving in this world, Lin Feng hadn’t pooped once, making him wonder if something was wrong with his body.

When he woke up, Lin Feng groggily looked at the screen. It was exactly eleven o’clock.

The chat room was already lively, as it was almost noon – the time when everyone was looking forward to seeing what the next floor would be.

The iron and wood Lin Feng had sold before were finally purchased by someone looking to upgrade their elevator, so combined with the two coins he found on the Netherworld Wedding floor, he had exactly 5 coins now.

[Brothers, it takes 5 coins to upgrade from a level 2 elevator to a level 3 elevator. Those with coins, don’t trade them recklessly!]

At this time, someone who had just upgraded to a level 2 elevator reminded those still on level 1 elevators.

Hearing this, no one would continue trading coins, and he wouldn’t be able to get any more coins from level 1 survivors either. That guy’s private messages were probably blowing up now. Lin Feng found it laughable – he’d seen people scam others before, but never someone scamming themselves in the process. This could be considered a rare, blossoming idiot.

Fortunately, Lin Feng already had enough coins gathered.

He also understood the importance of staying ahead of others. Only by surpassing others could you gain more information. Things that might seem like trash to others could be essential for upgrading elevators.

At this time, a message in the chat room caught Lin Feng’s attention.

[Let me share some unfortunate news – when exploring the last floor, I discovered an empty elevator with bloodstains on the floor, positioned opposite my elevator.]

[Poster above, I understand what you’re implying – someone’s looted and killed, right?]

[That’s right, so I want to remind everyone that not everyone is willing to cooperate peacefully. You might be thinking of working together to get through this, while the other person is thinking about how to kill you and take your resources.]

[Damn, when you put it that way, it makes me break out in cold sweat. Wasn’t there someone earlier who said he cooperated with another survivor? It’s possible that was just a ploy to kill and loot.]

[Heh heh, I’m a taekwondo athlete from Korea who’s won countless national awards. I hope those with ulterior motives don’t run into me. By the way, I’m currently looking for a beautiful woman to cohabit with. If anyone is lucky enough to encounter me, consider it – having a strong and handsome man protect you will surely bring happiness in this survival environment!]

Right after the Korean man posted, someone immediately flamed him – judging by the avatar, it seemed to be an American.

[To be honest, national awards from Korea are meaningless. Setting aside everything else, have you heard of American close-quarters combat?]

[It’s not that I look down on taekwondo, I admit it can be somewhat lethal, but no matter how badass it is, can it compare to my bow? I can take you out from 30 feet away!]

[Damn, poster above already has a weapon? I’m still using a wooden stick!]

[Hehe, I’m pretty good with handiwork. I got some ox tendons from the last floor and managed to make a bowstring, so I can handle some danger if needed. By the way, archery is my hobby.]

[Hmph, a mere bow and arrow. As long as I get close, you’re dead for sure!]

Because of the Korean athlete, the chat room immediately erupted into chaos as people boasted about their abilities. Smart people quietly collected information about the other survivors – after all, this was a public chat room, so you could learn a lot about others.

Everyone’s avatar and name were their real appearance and name, which was the main reason Lin Feng didn’t talk much in the chat room.

Lin Feng truly admired the person who made their own bow. If you asked him to make a functional bow, he could probably do it, but creating an accurate, long-range, powerful bow was beyond him.

He was now considering whether to ask that person to make some crossbow bolts for him.

If he could make bows and arrows from wood, crossbow bolts shouldn’t be an issue either. Plus, wooden bolts could be fully retrieved after shooting.

Moreover, wooden bolts could definitely penetrate human flesh. As long as the target wasn’t wearing plate armor, just leather armor.

With this thought, Lin Feng clicked on the person’s avatar.

Lin Feng: [Hello?]

Ye Hua: [Hello, what can I do for you?]

In another elevator, a delicate looking youth saw the big “2” on Lin Feng’s avatar and immediately understood why he had contacted him.

It must be because of the coins he mentioned in the chat room this morning. But Ye Hua now understood their importance and naturally wouldn’t agree to sell them.

Ye Hua: [Sorry, the coins are not for sale.]

Lin Feng: [No, I’m not here for the coins. I was hoping you could help make some crossbow bolts. Can you do it? Payment is in food.]

Ye Hua: [Crossbow bolts? I can try, but I only have one knife so efficiency will be low. I’ll be lucky to make several bolts per day, and they’ll be wooden bolts, so you’ll need to provide materials.]

Lin Feng: [No problem, I’ll send you a sample and you can make 10 wooden bolts first for me to try out. If they’re good, I’ll send payment, you can name your price in food then.]

Ye Hua: [No, you need to pay a deposit first.]

Lin Feng: [Hehe, fine. Just list some item on the trading post that you want exchanged for food.]

Lin Feng readily agreed. He wasn’t lacking food at the moment. The berry bush in his leather backpack had plenty of berries to eat. Aside from berries, there was a lot of meat in the backpack too, he just didn’t know if it would spoil inside.

“System, will the food stored in the leather backpack go bad?”

“Beep! No host, time is frozen for objects within the leather backpack.”

“Good to know.”

As Lin Feng expected, storage-type items like the leather backpack had frozen time inside.
