My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!
Chapter 104 - Controlling and Confronting Wind Magic!
“Wind?”
As Su Mo looked at the description on the shelter’s property panel in surprise, he opened his hand curiously and shouted at the ceiling of the shelter.
“Wind, listen to my orders and blow at Oreo’s dog head!!!”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
“Ruff ruff ruff~”
“Woof~ Awooooo~”
Oreo, who was sitting at the edge of the bed, rolled her eyes and barked a couple of times as if Su Mo was giving it a headache. She did not seem to understand why Su Mo was jumping and dancing around like a shaman as he made those whooshing noises.
“Er, I’m just livening up the atmosphere! Don’t look at me like that!”
When Su Mo saw Big Spark and Little Spark looking at him weirdly as well, he quickly cleared his throat and changed his tone.
“Ahem. Today’s wind is so noisy, we should stand up against it!”
After gaining a windfall of survival points and inheriting the blessing of the Lion God, Su Mo decided to turn off the heating pad, put on his shoes, and get out of bed.
Without the heat source, he treaded slow steps toward the living room before a cold gust of wind blew toward him. The wind was so cold that it made Su Mo sneeze again and again.
“It would be great if all the cold wind flowed slowly!”
After rubbing his palms, Su Mo muttered to himself.
Yet…
The next second, the wind that was rushing back and forth in the shelter seemed to have received the instructions and its flow slowed down immediately.
Su Mo, who was trembling from the cold, felt a hint of warmth, as if the shelter immediately warmed up after the wind stopped.
“So is this how I control the wind?”
Su Mo curiously stretched out his hand and fanned his hand toward his face in the air.
Initially, when he fanned his hands, it would make a gentle breeze, but since he could control the wind now, it reduced the wind flow rate significantly.
When it hit Su Mo’s face, it was a little ticklish and almost unnoticeable.
“Nice! This ability is way too good! If only…”
“If only the wind could blow at a faster speed!”
As soon as he said that, it was as if the eye of a tornado appeared in the living room of the shelter.
This time, Su Mo did not have to make the whooshing noise anymore.
Visually, the wind in the base seemed to have sped up, as if a big fan was fanning it, blowing the wind back and forth.
“Stop, stop, stop! It would be great if the wind speed would return to normal!”
Su Mo, who was cold all over from the wind, hurriedly called out to stop the flow of wind.
The strong wind that formed from the extraordinary power was a six or seven on the Beaufort scale. Not to mention that it had appeared out of thin air. It was magical and unusual.
It was terrifying! A mere four or five seconds of wind made the Underground Shelter’s temperature at least one degree celsius colder!
“What a magical supernatural power. Although I can’t touch or control it, this gives me a really familiar feeling… It’s like…
“Using… voice-controlled smart home equipment.”
When Su Mo realized that, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
The ability to control the wind was as if a huge central air conditioner had been installed in the base, in which the blower could be turned on or off with voice control.
As for the person controlling it, apart from voice control, it was not like the extraordinary powers of wind-controlling like in the movies.
“Sigh, since I’m only at level one for this ability, I can’t be too greedy. Maybe if I shear more wool off the lion people, I’ll be able to level it up in the future!”
Su Mo was delighted when he thought about how the lion people might be running around at that moment, chased by the kobolds.
After that, he walked until he was under the ventilation duct, and looked up at the duct where air was slowly flowing downward from. Su Mo tried asking.
“It would be nice if there was a little more wind coming out of the ventilation duct!”
As soon as he said that, Su Mo’s words were like a bamboo pole that stabbed a hornet’s nest.
The air that had originally been flowing slowly inside, seemed to have heard the call and rushed in frantically straight down toward the shelter through the slender duct.
Since the wind speed was too fast, it made even a whining noise that sounded similar to the cry of a ghost.
The air flow was way stronger when compared to a kitchen hood. The wind rushed in through the duct and, standing under the vent, Su Mo felt as if he was in an ice cellar.
The moisture that was mixed in with the cold wind spread across the room and hit him in the face.
Su Mo, who was initially a little sleepy, immediately looked like he was wide awake now!
“It would be great if there was no wind coming in from the ventilation duct!”
Just like before, the violent wind that was flowing in suddenly stopped, as if the barrier glass had been closed, with no wind leaking in.
The magical control experience made Su Mo extremely playful.
After trying to control it in a few other different ways for over an hour, Su Mo finally figured out how to use this wind control ability.
The current function was very simple. Su Mo opened up his private message channel diary and started to record it down.
“Distance limitation: The wind control ability can only be used in the shelter at present. It can be extended to the back of the main door at most and has no effect after exiting it.”
“Wind speed: The current maximum wind speed is about 12-13 meters per second, which is probably between six or seven on the Beaufort scale. It’s not realistic to use it as a method to hurt or kill someone and the minimum wind speed cannot be calculated for now…”
“How to use it: By saying it would be great if the wind speed could be XX!”
“Things I could use it for: Kitchen hood (I can specify and control the direction of airflow, as well as increase or decrease the airflow within a particular location), hair dryer, air conditioner, ventilation fan, clothes dryer, blower, vacuum cleaner…”
“The practical value of it is currently subject to long-term observation and use, so it’s temporarily unknown!”
Su Mo patted his hands. After he did his best to record down all the tests he had done as thoroughly and detailed as possible, Su Mo turned off the game panel and a thought popped up in his head.
Overall, this extraordinary ability was very useful in the weather they were experiencing.
Especially after the wind speed was reduced, the temperature in the shelter increased significantly.
As for the other functions, he still needed to slowly discover them by experimenting in order to find the best way to use this ability in the future.
After moving his body around for a while to warm himself up, Su Mo went to the armament storage room, took off the combat uniform that he was wearing, and placed it on the work table.
“The system can’t directly upgrade the clothes and shoes that I’m wearing. If I want to stay warm, I can only upgrade this combat uniform!”
It was too cold. If he were to go out with his sweater, sweatpants, and walking shoes, the subzero temperatures would have him frozen in less than ten minutes.
If he met with danger then, even if he upgraded it at that time, an already stiff body would not have much combat effectiveness. Thus, it was better to upgrade and transform it beforehand.
As he focused his mind, the property panel of the combat uniform appeared in front of Su Mo.
[Photometric combat uniform (Good)]
[Description: A combat uniform with outstanding abilities. Waterproof, anti-viral, protects against ultraviolet and infrared rays, and has slight wind and heat insulation.]
[Special ability: Photometric invisibility (from certain angles, the super material with negative refraction index, combined with the structure of transformation optics specially designed based on the material, can bend light and achieve the photometric invisibility effect.)]
[First upgrade option: Combat direction: Improves combat uniform material. High-strength nylon material will be weaved in, making it cut-resistant. Comfort will be improved and material density increased, enhancing wind resistance. Survival points required (420).]
[Second upgrade option: Concealment direction: Improves combat uniform material and material density, greatly enhancing wind resistance. Added waterproof coating blocks water molecules from seeping in to keep the uniform dry. Extra pockets added, which increases storage space. Survival points required (1800).]
[Third upgrade option: Adaptable all-terrain direction: Improved combat uniform material. Comprehensive upgrade and transformation of fabric weaving of the combat uniform. A more advanced textile technology is utilized that slightly improves wearer experience, and moderately improves wind and waterproof properties. Added electric (heating/cooling) device. Survival points required (740).]
“Sure enough, the more times I upgrade an item, the better the upgrade options I receive. It’s very likely that there will be four or five options in the future. And just like how I upgraded the buggy last time, there’s also a comprehensive upgrade. The system really is getting smarter!”
He brushed off a layer of dust from the combat uniform and wished for a small breeze to blow the dust into a corner. As Su Mo looked at the three options given by the system, he fell into deep thought.
He knew that he would definitely not pick the first option, as it was not necessary to add a combat option to the combat uniform.
For close combat, it would be best to avoid it at all costs in the early stage if possible. During the middle and later stages, it would likely be even more important to not get into close combat.
After all, close combat meant having more exposure and risk. Facing an enemy hidden in the dark would carry the risk of death if one was not careful enough.
As for the second and third options…
The specific difference was that the second option focused more on functionality.
According to the system’s previous prompts, Su Mo knew that he did not have to think about it any longer. The added storage space had to be the same as the storage space in Earth Tiger, which allowed him to store items by focusing mentally.
Although the storage space might not be as much as the space in Earth Tiger, getting one or two cubic meters would clearly be advantageous.
The third option would strengthen his adaptability.
When Su Mo thought about the electric heating device, he started to get greedy.
In this kind of weather, having heated clothes with just a flip of a button would mean that a life could be saved at a critical moment!
