[The base is about to be upgraded to Level 4!]
[This upgrade suggests you provide small amounts of blood, sweat, saliva, urine, and semen, as well as a few strands of hair.]
With a humming sound, a small opening appeared in the wall next to the panel, and a long metal plate extended out. On the metal plate were several items resembling petri dishes, each labeled with small text indicating what should be placed inside.
Jiang Ye was a bit bewildered.
Just an upgrade, and it felt like a physical examination?
The examination was so extensive, and not just a routine check-up, but more like an astronaut's physical!
Furthermore, although the panel's wording was "suggested," when Jiang Ye tried to push the metal plate back, a low prompt sound played, and the metal plate quickly sprang back.
The message was clear: those miscellaneous liquids and hair had to be placed inside to proceed.
What kind of suggestion was this!
This was a must!
Jiang Ye was displeased. It felt like playing a game and fighting a boss, and in the heat of battle, a prompt popped up: "Your game is about to update to a new version, do you want to start downloading?" He searched everywhere but couldn't find a "no" option; there was only one button, and it was clearly mandatory!
After five minutes, Jiang Ye managed to squeeze out sweat, drink water to urinate, and painfully pulled out a few strands of hair. After a flurry of activity, he finally filled the petri dishes on the metal plate and pushed it in.
The panel then displayed another prompt:
[Congratulations! The base has been upgraded to Level 4!]
[Three new items have been unlocked in the Galaxy Mall, please check them out!]
That was it.
Jiang Ye was slightly disappointed, having expected some new functions to be unlocked, but there were none this time.
He clicked on the base upgrade and first glanced at the conditions for upgrading to Level 5:
[To upgrade the base to Level 5, 500,000 yuan is required.]
Fifty thousand yuan for one level. Jiang Ye was shocked; the price increase was truly terrifying!
He clicked on the Galaxy Mall.
There was originally only one item, but now there were four.
The first item was still the Blood Grenade, priced at one hundred yuan each.
The second item was particularly interesting.
[Item: Primary Physique Enhancement Agent]
[Item Description: A potent physique enhancement agent specifically crafted for your genes, administered via intravenous injection. For 24 hours after use, you will feel absolutely energetic! Long-term use can promote muscle and bone strengthening!]
[However, please note that for anyone other than yourself, its effects are limited to 24 hours of enhanced energy and will not promote muscle and bone strengthening.]
[Price: 1000 yuan]
Seeing this item, Jiang Ye suddenly understood why so much bodily fluid and hair were required; it was for genetic analysis.
The item looked good, especially the part about promoting muscle and bone strengthening, which greatly appealed to Jiang Ye.
Buy!
He spent 1000 yuan, and his personal assets dropped from 17,900 to 16,900.
While others on the planet were toiling for hundreds of yuan, Jiang Ye spent a thousand without batting an eye.
A small, disposable syringe appeared in the trading pod.
Jiang Ye picked it up, full of suspicion.
The syringe before him was the smallest he had ever seen, only as long as his little finger, with the actual part storing the medicine being only one centimeter long, and the entire needle as thin as a toothpick.
He thought it would be thick, but it turned out to be a toothpick.
Too small!
It was like giving an injection to a caterpillar!
Squinting, he saw only two or three drops of the physique enhancement agent inside. Could it really work?
Jiang Ye carefully inserted the needle into a vein in his arm. The medicine was so little that it was all injected at once.
A miraculous thing happened!
As soon as the injection was complete, a strange, electric current-like energy surged through his entire body!
From head to toe, he instantly felt invigorated, his muscles trembling with pleasure. Jiang Ye punched the air, and his strength had clearly increased!
This enhancement was not the slight boost from a cup of coffee, tea, or a can of Red Bull, nor the minor improvement from injecting stimulants. It was a drastic, transformative enhancement!
It was as if he had consumed a pill from a fantasy novel.
Damn, this money was well spent! Jiang Ye muttered to himself.
He then looked at the third item.
Jiang Ye's eyes lit up again.
[Item: Colony Officer Set]
[Item Description: Includes a set of underwear, three pairs of socks, a waterproof athletic jacket and pants, and a pair of hiking boots. Size can be chosen.]
[Price: 5000 yuan]
Finally, clothes were available!
Up to this point, Jiang Ye was still wearing those small underpants.
They were already incredibly dirty and smelly.
Although there was no one around, he needed comfort and dignity in his own life.
The price was very high, but it was a necessity, so he decisively placed an order!
He selected his clothing size on the mall panel, and the purchase was successful.
His personal assets dropped from 16,900 to 11,900.
A set of clothes appeared in the trading pod, neatly folded, brand new.
It even emitted a faint scent of new clothes.
Jiang Ye was ecstatic.
It was raining heavily outside, so he pushed open the pod door and jumped out, taking off his dirty underpants and washing them in the rain.
At the same time, he let the heavy rain wash over his entire body, cleaning away the grime.
The sweat and odor accumulated over many days were washed away!
Returning to the pod, he locked the door and waited for a while. The water on his body had almost dried. Men's hair is short and dried quickly.
He began to put on his clothes!
First, the underwear.
The purchased underwear was white, fit perfectly, and had good elasticity, making him feel very comfortable.
The socks seemed to be pure cotton, also fitting perfectly.
The sportswear was white, and compared to the sportswear he had worn before, it was more comfortable and lighter.
A pair of hiking boots, with very thick soles, felt heavy. Jiang Ye really liked these boots. He had been walking barefoot before and dared not walk fast, fearing that stones would pierce the soles of his feet.
With a pair of shoes, his mobility efficiency would at least double!
Great! Jiang Ye, fully dressed, strutted back and forth in the pod as if on a catwalk, looking very pleased with himself.
The others on the planet were still in their naked ape state, a group of dirty mud people.
But he had become a decent person!
The last newly added item also greatly surprised Jiang Ye.
[Item: Wok]
[Item Description: One meter in diameter, round-bottomed, used for cooking.]
[Price: 2000 yuan]
Without hesitation, he placed an order on the spot.
Jiang Ye was very decisive and bought 5 woks at once!
His personal assets immediately dropped from five figures to four figures, leaving only 1900 yuan.
Five large woks arrived. They looked similar to stir-fry pans but were brand new and shiny, reflecting images.
Jiang Ye bought so many woks at once for a reason.
