Shelter for All: People catch ghosts and gain entries in the end times Chapter 18 - The Aroma Wafts Through the Screen

Chapter 18: The Aroma Wafts Through the Screen.

[Na: Anti-Evil Crossbow]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Level: 2 (Character level 2)]

[Additional Attribute: Level 1 Anti-Evil]

[Description: Feel the Serenity (Physical)]

[Special Note: Each ti the weapon’s level increases, the weapon’s damage is increased by an additional 10%. Additionally, the weapon’s damage will scale proportionally with the character’s level.]

Su Mu inspected the newly upgraded Anti-Evil Crossbow with a sense of satisfaction. This upgrade alone had boosted its damage output by forty percent. With it, taking down the Scarlet Boar would no longer pose a significant challenge.

However, further upgrading the weapon required steep resources.

[Required Materials for the Level 3 Anti-Evil Crossbow: 10 Golden Fragnt Grass, 75 Energy Stones]

Though Su Mu had 100 energy stones remaining, he decided to hold off on the next upgrade for now. Instead, he turned his attention to the Glass Bracers.

[Materials Needed for Glass Bracers: 3 Iron Shards, 20 Energy Stones]

The materials for upgrading the bracers were considerably more affordable than those for the Anti-Evil Crossbow. However, the bracers’ quality couldn’t match the crossbow’s.

Reflecting on his current resources, Su Mu realized that energy stones were undoubtedly the most critical commodity in this apocalyptic world. Their versatility made them indispensable for both upgrades and trades.

Night had fallen by this ti, and Su Mu had no intention of venturing outside. In this scorched world, even the faint sunlight during the day felt dim and cold. By night, the darkness was suffocating, and danger lurked everywhere. Most survivors had learned to retreat to their shelters before nightfall.

So people used the quiet hours to sleep, while others stayed awake, seeking solace in the World Forum.

…

[User: We survived another day! Let’s share our thoughts about this world.]

[User 1: Everything here feels like it’s been burned to ash. There’s so much desolation.]

[User 2: I agree. I even found the remnants of broken city walls—this place seems to have endured a devastating war.]

[User 3: It’s definitely an apocalyptic world. We need to be cautious to survive.]

[User 4: Ugh, the compressed biscuits from the newbie pack are awful—like eating sand bricks.]

[User 5: At least they’re edible. We’re all just trying to make do.]

As the discussions grew more lively, soone brought up Su Mu.

[User 6: Even Su Mu, who’s loaded with resources, must be in the sa situation as us, right? Eating bones or compressed biscuits?]

[User 1: Whoever thinks Su Mu is gnawing on bones should check the trading market.]

Curiosity drew everyone to the market. What they found left them stunned.

[Product: Scarlet Wild Boar at]

[Quantity Uploaded: 15 Pieces]

[Uploader: Su Mu]

[Trade Price: 2 Energy Stones]

The forum erupted.

[User 1: What’s a Scarlet Boar? I’ve only seen skeletal dogs and undead creatures outside.]

[User 2: I know what it is! I saw one before—it knocked over a skeletal dog like it was nothing.]

[User 3: Wait, are you saying Su Mu defeated one?]

[User 4: While we’re scraping by on bones and biscuits, Su Mu is feasting on wild boar?]

The revelation sent ripples of envy and disbelief through the forum. The re thought of soone eating wild boar while they drank bone broth or gnawed on biscuits was almost unbearable.

[User 5: I thought my bone broth was comforting, but now it tastes bitter…]

[User 3: The trade price is 2 Energy Stones? That’s outrageous! Can’t it be cheaper?]

[User 1: Su Mu, I can’t eat these awful compressed biscuits anymore. How about trading so selfies for at? (Attached pictures)]

[User 2: Whoa, the person above is… really tall. Uh, can we see more pictures?]

[User 3: Ugh, why wasn’t I born a pretty girl?]

[User 4: Pretty or not, it doesn’t matter. None of the boar at was taken, so Su Mu clearly didn’t accept the trade.]

[User 5: Maybe it just wasn’t to Su Mu’s taste. Anyone else want to give it a shot?]

[User 6: Wow, you people are sothing else.]

Even more shocking, soone noticed a change in the trade list.

[User 6: Wait a second… a piece of Scarlet Boar at is missing. Did soone actually buy it for 2 Energy Stones?]

The chat buzzed with speculation.

[User 7: I wouldn’t have believed it, but I can almost sll the aroma of that at wafting through the screen…]

It was as if the entire world channel was filled with the tantalizing scent of roasted boar. Those who had been chatting casually now stared at their sparse als in silence, imagining what it must be like to savor such a delicacy.
