I examined this improved farmland.

[Farmland (Blue) x1: High-grade farmland with excellent soil fertility and yield. Soil quality can be improved through various methods to enhance farmland quality.]

"The improved farmland not only increased soil fertility and yield, but also significantly improved the growth rate of crops."

Zhang Shi excitedly picked the ripe vegetables, his face beaming with the joy of a bountiful harvest.

This farmland is planted with leafy greens, which originally grew very quickly. After the improvement, Zhang Shi estimates that the next harvest will not be far off.

Zhang Shi glanced at the few plots of farmland inside the greenhouse and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"This farmland improvement card is a good thing; we need to find a way to get more of it."

After posting several acquisition notices on the trading market, Zhang Shi went to the charcoal kiln to check on the firing of the bricks.

After a day and a night of firing, the required number of bricks has been collected.

Zhang Shi opened the system panel, glanced back at the stone house, made sure to leave enough space, and then pressed the upgrade button.

With a "whoosh," the original stone house was enveloped in golden light, briefly illuminating the shelter.

This process did not last long. By the time the golden light faded, the original stone house had been transformed into a rather impressive two-story villa.

【Exquisite Treasure Chest (Purple) x1】

System notification: Congratulations! You have become the first survivor in this region to upgrade your shelter to level four. Reward:

System notification: Congratulations! You have become the first survivor in the Wilderness World to upgrade your shelter to level four. Rewards:

[Small Generator (Purple) x1: A generator made with special technology in the Wilderness World. It generates electricity by consuming fuel, without noise or pollution.]

Zhang Shi's eyes lit up. He temporarily put away the props and continued to observe the villa.

"Is this what they call a luxurious two-story villa in the countryside?"

In a quiet, dimly lit corner of the wilderness, a villa stands silently. After being processed by the system, the construction of this villa is in no way inferior to the mansions in the original world.

The villa's exterior adopts a Chinese style, with a solid and dignified foundation made of concrete and stone, paired with a spotless white wall and exquisite carvings, showcasing an understated sense of luxury.

The roof, covered with dark gray tiles, gleamed softly in the firelight, contrasting sharply with the surrounding white expanse and adding to the tranquility and harmony.

As Zhang Shi entered the villa, the first thing that caught his eye was the spacious lobby. Candlelight hung on the walls, making the house bright even at night.

The stone slabs paving the lobby floor have all been systematically polished, showcasing the beauty of natural textures. Stepping on them feels like stepping into a temple of art.

The first floor is meticulously laid out, with the living room occupying the most prominent position. The spacious area can accommodate dozens of people for gatherings without feeling crowded.

On one side of the living room is an open-plan kitchen and dining area, fully equipped with modern kitchen appliances, while the dining room features a long solid wood dining table surrounded by elegant dining chairs, replacing the original simple table and chairs.

As night falls, this place transforms into a cozy spot for enjoying delicious food.

Zhang Shi stepped forward and fiddled with them for a while, discovering that most of the devices were electrically powered. Without a power source, these things were just for show.

Shaking his head, Zhang Shi slowly ascended the exquisite wooden staircase and arrived at the private world on the second floor. This place was both the owner's resting place and a haven for the soul.

The second floor features multiple bedrooms and a study, each meticulously designed to meet specific functional needs. The master suite is spacious and luxurious, complete with an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet.

The bathroom is not only fully equipped, but also has a bathtub and sauna, allowing you to enjoy complete relaxation for your body and mind during busy times.

The study is decorated simply yet elegantly, with a large desk and a soft candlelight quietly waiting for every burst of inspiration.

In addition, the villa also features a terrace.

On the terrace, a two-meter-high floor-to-ceiling window can be opened and closed at Zhang Shi's discretion. Standing on the terrace, one can overlook the entire shelter.

Zhang Shi rubbed his arms and felt a chill.

"Hey, why isn't there any heating?"

Zhang Shi opened the shelter and carefully observed it through the territory control module. Finally, he found a boiler room on the left side of the villa. Through the holographic projection, Zhang Shi could also see a dense network of pipes extending from the boiler room to every room of the villa.

"Hey, it even has underfloor heating."

Zhang Shi smiled and strode towards the boiler room, where he found two huge water tanks, each with a capacity of more than one ton.

Below the water tank is an iron stove. When fuel is added, the entire machine can operate automatically, providing heating and water to the villa.

Seeing this, Zhang Shi first added enough charcoal to the iron furnace to ignite it, and then used a wooden bucket to put the snow into the water tank.

The iron furnace heats up, and the snow in the water tank melts into snow water, which continues to heat up.

Zhang Shi spent quite a while fiddling with the water before finally filling both tanks.

"This will save us a lot of trouble."

Zhang Shi clapped his hands and returned to the villa.

The temperature inside the villa slowly rose thanks to the underfloor heating, and Zhang Shi felt waves of warmth wash over him. Even after taking off his clothes, he didn't feel cold.

Pipi ran and jumped around the villa with great enthusiasm, full of curiosity about the suddenly appearing building.

Zhang Shi returned to his bedroom and lay down on his familiar large bed, next to a transparent glass window. In the light of the charcoal kiln fire, Zhang Shi could see the situation in the courtyard at a glance.

Open your backpack to see the rewards for upgrading your shelter.

First, open the appliance gift package. Inside are common appliances found in the real world, such as refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, and televisions.

Zhang Shi used the territory control module to place some useful electrical appliances in the villa, while putting the rest into the warehouse to gather dust.

Then there's the generator. This thing is a treasure; it has no durability limit and can allow Zhang Shi to live a modern life.

Zhang Shi placed it in the tool shed, added enough coal, and the wiring in the shed automatically connected to the generator.

With the power supply on, the villa instantly became brightly lit.

Zhang Shi felt like he hadn't seen lights in a long time, and it took him a while to adjust before turning them off.

The night in the wilderness was pitch black. When a light suddenly appeared, Zhang Shi was afraid of attracting the attention of wild animals.

Finally, Zhang Shi's gaze fell upon the purple treasure chest, and he opened it with anticipation using his double privileges.

Ding! Rare treasure chest (purple) successfully opened, triggering VIP privileges. Items doubled. Obtained:

[Electric Grid (Purple) x2: A rare-level defensive structure. Once powered on, it can be placed around the perimeter of a fence to effectively repel wild beasts.]
