Chapter 485: Chapter 484: Power Supply Unit and Warehouse

After seeing Little Mushroom off, Seraphina Sinclair breathed a long sigh of relief.

This whole affair had only just begun; its development and outcome were still nowhere in sight.

But Seraphina Sinclair wasn’t impatient.

She had read all the books Gray sent over. While they weren’t explicit, they gave Seraphina Sinclair some understanding of this world that had yet to reveal its true face.

Besides, when it came to selecting the guild leader, the world’s stance had already been made clear to Seraphina Sinclair—

No matter how far she went in the future, she would always belong to the human faction.

No one had told her this; it was something she had pieced together from various fragments of information. It was only then that Seraphina Sinclair understood: when you stand in one place and observe everything around you, you can feel which way the wind is blowing.

She wasn’t a native of this world, but an outsider who had been thrown into it.

But when the system categorized her, it didn’t file her under "Outsider." Instead, it wrote a single word: Human.

Therefore, humanity’s strength could only benefit her; there were no downsides.

If they could truly develop firearms suited for this world, it would be like reigniting the spark of human civilization here.

The sky outside was still a hazy gray, making it impossible to tell the time. In the distance, ruins lay silent in the mist, just as they had yesterday, and the day before.

But Seraphina Sinclair knew that some things had changed.

The two surprises Luna Jacobs had brought early this morning were so monumental that Seraphina Sinclair hadn’t even had a chance to examine the mobile cabin’s new layout after its upgrade.

The cabin was now Golden Rank, and its door card had turned a brilliant gold.

Furthermore, the number of times it could plunge into the black fog had increased by one, now up to five times per hour, or once every twelve minutes.

The benefit of the increased frequency was obvious, but after seeing it in action, Seraphina Sinclair discovered a drawback.

The interval between jumps was now too short. Often, a second monster would appear before the first was even dealt with. A single monster was manageable, but sometimes four or five D-level monsters would swarm in at once. Even with Luna Jacobs’s strength, it was overwhelming.

Fortunately, they had the Gloom Hatchling.

The lazy Little Dragon would simply lift a paw, deal with the monsters, and then go back to napping in the corner. It was as if the D-level monsters were nothing more than annoying flies, unworthy of even making it open its eyes.

Though Luna Jacobs felt a bit exasperated, the monsters were, admittedly, taken care of.

She was also in charge of the cleanup: feeding the monster slime to the Sunflower, opening Supply Boxes, and sorting the items that dropped.

This made things incredibly easy for Seraphina Sinclair.

She withdrew her gaze and went back to studying the power supply unit in front of her.

This was the biggest change from the cabin’s latest upgrade: a power supply unit embedded in the wall, emitting a faint blue glow.

[Mobile Cabin Energy Core]

[Current Energy Reserve: 342/1000]

[Natural Recovery: For every 100 sunshine-distances traveled, energy reserves increase by 20 points!]

[Energy Input: Each compressed energy block increases energy reserves by 100 points.]

[Function: Provides power to all electrical devices within the cabin! Currently Connectable Devices: 1]

That one connectable device was, of course, the simple lighting system she had acquired in the last upgrade.

Even though it was broad daylight, Seraphina Sinclair turned on the lighting system anyway.

The moment the light strips embedded in the walls lit up, the entire mobile cabin was bathed in a soft glow. The main cabin area, the kitchen, the bathroom—every room and every corner became perfectly clear.

Each room even had its own switch, which was incredibly convenient.

The energy consumption, which had been Seraphina Sinclair’s biggest worry, turned out to be a non-issue.

With the entire lighting system on, it only consumed 2 energy points per hour.

As long as the cabin was in motion, the energy drain from the lights was practically negligible.

It didn’t matter if the cabin stopped, either. A single compressed energy block provided one hundred energy points, enough to keep the lights on for fifty consecutive hours.

Because this was a full rank-up, from Silver Quality to Gold Quality, the cabin’s floor and walls had also transformed.

They had gone from stone to brick.

Not red brick, but an older, blue-gray kind. They were laid neatly, block by block, with mortar filling the seams.

Seraphina Sinclair wasn’t sure if this was an upgrade or a downgrade. From a civilizational standpoint, it was definitely progress.

But were bricks really more durable than a solid slab of stone?

Seraphina Sinclair knocked on the wall. The blue-gray brick produced a deep, solid thud. It felt much sturdier to the touch than the previous stone wall.

"...Whatever. As long as it’s sturdy."

She muttered to herself, then turned to look at the floor.

The stone floor had been replaced by a blue-gray brick one. It was just as level as before, but it felt different underfoot.

The previous stone floor was hard as rock, making her footsteps ring out with a loud THUMP, THUMP.

The new brick floor had more give to it. It absorbed much of the sound of her footsteps, making the whole cabin much quieter.

Seraphina Sinclair was very pleased with this change.

In addition to these changes, the upgrade had also added a separate room called the "Small Warehouse."

Seraphina Sinclair hadn’t held out much hope. Her mobile cabin was already Golden Rank, yet with every upgrade, the system was still incredibly stingy, only adding five square meters of space each time.

It was as if making the cabin even a little bigger was prohibitively expensive, something the system couldn’t afford.

But the moment she stepped into the warehouse, Seraphina Sinclair froze.

The Small Warehouse was far larger than she had imagined. At a full thirty square meters, it was nearly as large as the main cabin area that had been upgraded so many times.

Its function was also perfectly clear: it was for a survivor to store supplies!

Lining the walls were several rows of neat metal shelves, which were divided into compartments of various sizes, maxing out the spatial efficiency.

In front of each compartment was a small, blank nameplate.

Clearly, they were waiting for Seraphina Sinclair, the owner, to fill them in herself. It was a very thoughtful touch.

Seraphina Sinclair circled the warehouse a few times, then began the process of moving everything in, one trip at a time.

The space in her Silver Moon Earrings was limited, so she had been piling her supplies in the bathroom.

When the bathroom overflowed, she started piling them in the kitchen.

Her small wooden bed was also in the kitchen, so every morning, the first thing Seraphina Sinclair saw upon opening her eyes was a neatly stacked wall of supplies.

Sometimes, Seraphina Sinclair worried that something might fall from the top of the pile and land on her face.

Now, that problem was finally solved.

Seraphina Sinclair moved her supplies into the warehouse item by item, sorting them by category as she arranged them on the shelves.

After clearing all the supplies out of the bathroom and kitchen, Seraphina Sinclair stood in the middle of the warehouse, hands on her hips. She looked around and nodded in satisfaction.

Neat, orderly, and everything was clear at a glance. Excellent.

Holding a pen, she began to write on the nameplates.
