Then, Lorne took out his crossbow bolts and demonstrated its power, making Old Black very happy.

“If you have these things, I can give you six boxes of instant noodles and five barrels of mineral water. I’ll give you an additional 25 kilograms of fruit. What do you think?”

Lorne knew that the price was fair, so he nodded and agreed.

“Do you want me to send these supplies to your place or do you want to bring them yourself? If you want to bring them yourself, I can lend you a loading tricycle. You can bring it back later,” Old Black said.

“I’ll take them back myself. Thank you, Uncle Black. Also, Uncle Black, this is for you. When you encounter danger, install this crossbow bolt on the crossbow I gave you. The power is much higher.” Lorne handed a system-made crossbow bolt to Old Black..

“Kid, you’re really something. This bolt is so exquisite. What special material is it?” Old Black asked with a smile.

“Ha ha, just a few little things, Uncle Black, I’ll be off then,” said Lorne, and he rode the tricycle towards his residence with the supplies he had obtained.

Soon, Lorne returned to his shelter and moved the supplies in. However, he looked at the 25 kilograms of fruit and felt worried.

The freezer in the shelter that the system gave him was relatively small, so he could not put all the fruits inside. If he kept the fruits outside for a long time, they might spoil and be wasted. However, fruits were an essential resource.

Lorne suddenly remembered the system’s words. It said that he could use points to upgrade the items in his residence.

“System, can I expand the capacity of this freezer?” Lorne asked the system in his mind.

“If the host keeps looking at a certain item, its upgrade options will appear.”

After hearing the system’s answer, Lorne immediately focused his gaze on the small freezer in front of him.

[Normal freezer]

Upgrade Direction 1: Expand the freezer volume (10 points)

Upgrade Direction 2: Increase the quality of the freezer so that the food stored in the freezer will never rot (50 points)

Soon, the options of upgrading the freezer appeared in Lorne’s eyes.

Previously, he had used 30 points to make wooden crossbows. The system had given him 100 points, so he should still have 70 points now.

Although Lorne wanted to increase both the size and the quality of the freezer, it was obvious that his points did not allow him to do so.

Lorne felt that he should reserve some points in case he needed them for something else.

After all, the importance of points went without saying.

Lorne chose the upgrade direction 1. As he confirmed the choice, the small freezer in front of him suddenly distorted, and a few seconds later, it turned into a freezer with a capacity ten times larger.

Although he had seen the magical aspects of the system many times, Lorne was still very surprised when he saw it again.

As the size of the freezer increased, Lorne easily placed the fruit inside.

Looking at the supplies in his shelter, he frowned slightly. These things were still too little. They were not enough for him to cope with his daily needs if he needed to stay in the shelter for a long time in the future.

He gathered all the assets he had accumulated over the years. There was a total of $5468. It seemed that he could not even buy a box of instant noodles with this amount of money. Lorne thought helplessly.

“If I can’t buy the finished products, then I can grow them myself. System, is there a place in the shelter where I can grow vegetables and fruits?” Lorne thought for a long time before coming up with this idea. Then, he immediately asked the System.

“I’ll repeat myself. This system is the Most Powerful Technology City System. It’s not a shelter, it’s a technology city,” the system roared in Lorne’s mind.

“Okay, okay, okay. It’s a technology city, a technology city.” Lorne felt a little awkward when he heard the system’s shout, so he quickly corrected himself.

“As the Most Powerful Technology City System, the system naturally took this into consideration when building it. The room behind the R&D Center is a special greenhouse that can grow vegetables and fruits. Inside, you can grow any vegetables and fruits that you need.”

“This is too amazing. As expected of the Most Powerful Technology City System.” Upon hearing the system’s words, Lorne appeared very happy, and did not forget to compliment the system.

Then Lorne rode his loading tricycle into the city center. In his mind, his money should be enough to buy the seeds of many fruits and vegetables.

Meanwhile, in the vast outer space, the moon was still circling around Earth as usual. However, not far away, there was an asteroid rushing towards Earth.

“If our plans are not carried out perfectly, then we humans might experience the great catastrophe of the dinosaur era. It’s not impossible for us to go extinct.”

The three spacecraft prepared by the Federation were flying towards space with the tools needed for this plan. They were carrying the hope of the entire world.

Whether the plan succeeded or not, they could not avoid death.

Compared to the survival of Earth, they had already disregarded their individual life and death.

The pilots this time were undoubtedly great characters. They wanted to stop this catastrophe with their own flesh and blood.

Two spacecraft were slowly flying towards the asteroid to execute Plan A and B.

They needed to successfully lock onto the asteroid and place nuclear bombs or thrusters on it.

They needed to be at the same speed as the asteroid before they could land on it and perform their delicate operations.

But as the two spacecraft slowly approached the asteroid, they faced the first difficulty.

They were unable to approach the asteroid because it had been moving for dozens of days. Therefore, there were many different kinds of space debris around the asteroid, blocking their way.
