People, after all, are prone to liking the new and disliking the old.
Chen Bei immediately put the spear into his backpack, keeping the fire axe in his hand, and swung it a few times.
The fire axe whistled through the air, feeling very powerful when swung.
“Satisfying! Let’s try chopping wood with this thing.”
Chen Bei found a wooden chair, swung the fire axe, and with three chops, he broke the chair into pieces.
This efficiency was greatly improved compared to before!
Another unit of wood was added to his inventory.
Chen Bei was happy and was about to go out when his eyes suddenly lit up.
The door was made of wood!
Since chopping chairs yielded wood, chopping wooden doors should work too, right?
Chen Bei immediately tried it and found that it was indeed feasible!
The wooden door was sturdier than the chair.
Chen Bei chopped about ten times before he finally destroyed the wooden door.
The wooden door yielded more wood, 5 units.
Now, collecting wood was much simpler for Chen Bei.
In this corridor, not every room had a chair, but every room had a wooden door.
It turned out that the essence of the Dormitory Survival Game was a material-farming and junk-collecting game!
Chen Bei had played similar survival games before and quite liked this feeling.
He already had 11 units of wood, which was enough for now, so he decisively returned the way he came.
Halfway back, someone in the corridor saw Chen Bei and quickly hid in their room, fearing they couldn't avoid him fast enough.
The fact that Chen Bei was a “murderer” had deeply ingrained itself in people's minds.
He was too lazy to bother with these people and returned all the way to his 815 room.
As soon as he entered the door, he started to get busy.
First, he crafted a wooden shield!
It consumed 2 units of wood, 1 parts box, and 1 unit of iron nails.
Chen Bei stood in front of the workbench, his hands moving incredibly fast, combining various materials with astonishing speed.
A simply designed wooden shield was thus born.
【Obtained Level 1 equipment: Wooden Shield.】
Wooden Shield
Level: 1
Category: Equipment
Attribute: Physical
Defense: 8
Durability: 20 / 20
Description: You cannot expect too much from this wooden shield; it is even less able to withstand tests than your love.

Chen Bei held the fire axe in his left hand and the wooden shield in his right, covered in blood-stained clothes.
“I finally have decent equipment! I wonder if I can defeat a zombie one-on-one.”
Killing people earlier had a huge impact on Chen Bei.
He was confident that if he faced a zombie, he would have the courage to fight it.
Even if the zombie looked terrifying, he wasn't afraid.
Having worked in a funeral parlor before, he had seen all kinds of corpses and was long used to them.
“Next, it’s time to upgrade the door.”
Chen Bei put down his weapons and walked to the door.
Crafting tools was done at the workbench.
Upgrading the door had to be done in front of the door.
As long as he had the blueprint, approaching it would trigger the option.
【Materials required for upgrade: Wood * 3, Parts Box * 2, Duct Tape * 1, Iron Nails * 1.】
【Upgrade conditions met. Do you want to upgrade?】
【Yes √】
Chen Bei's hands once again moved up and down, as fast as phantoms.
A progress bar appeared, moving slowly.
This process went quite smoothly.
The progress bar completed.
【Door upgrade successful.】
Door
Level: 2
Defense: 12
Durability: 50 / 50
This door had been damaged before, and upgrading it seemed to have replenished its durability at the same time.
After the upgrade, the door's appearance changed significantly, becoming thicker, with decorative indentations and protrusions on its surface, whereas it was flat before.
The upgraded door brought a greater sense of security.
And it wasn't over yet!
Chen Bei still had the recipe for a Level 3 door, and he had enough materials.
This was thanks to his previous efforts of rummaging through everything and scavenging for materials.
【Upgrade conditions met. Do you want to upgrade?】
【Yes √】
Repeating the previous upgrade process, Chen Bei started to get busy again.
This time, the progress bar moved even slower, like a snail crawling.

At the same time.
In the 838 room diagonally opposite.
Living here was a Female Player named Cao Qingqing, with long flowing hair and an attractive appearance; she used to be a female public relations manager.
From the start of the game until now, Cao Qingqing had been hiding in her room, not daring to come out.
She lay by the door, peeking outside through the peephole, and was surprised to find that there was something special about the 815 room.
That door suddenly flashed with light and transformed into a more advanced door.
The surrounding doors were all uniform, but only the 815 room's door had changed.
The door had been upgraded!
Cao Qingqing's eyes widened in disbelief.
“Why did his door change appearance?”
From its appearance.
The 815 room's door was clearly sturdier and more durable.
Cao Qingqing had personally witnessed Chen Bei killing someone earlier, scaring away a group of troublemakers.
Now, Chen Bei's door had also been upgraded.
In this survival game, Chen Bei was definitely ahead.
In other words, what is often called in games, a pro player, a big shot!
Such a person was very formidable.
If she could become friends with him and cling to his coattails, that would be another matter.
“Should I try to approach him? No matter how ruthless he is, he’s still a man, and as long as he’s a man… hmph.”
Cao Qingqing’s cherry lips curved upwards, revealing a confident gaze.
She was a female public relations manager, and in her work, she had sold her body to achieve her goals.
For her, her looks were a weapon, a bargaining chip!
Cao Qingqing's heart was already stirred.
She continued to observe the opposite room, calculating in her mind.
Suddenly, the 815 room's door flashed again, and its appearance changed once more.
This time, the door became even thicker and more solid, although the material was still wood.
Patterns even appeared on the door's surface.
The doorknob also looked better.
Cao Qingqing's eyes widened again, her eyelashes curled up, and her pupils shimmered with light.
“His door has been upgraded again!”
Cao Qingqing's heart pounded.
The game had clearly stated.
Daytime was relatively safe, while nighttime would become dangerous.
And the door was a layer of safety assurance.
Hiding in the 815 room would definitely be safer than in other dorms.
Cao Qingqing had been hesitant just now, but now she steeled her heart and made a complete decision.
She must cling to this powerful figure! At least, she had to try!
— —
The 815 room's door opened, and Chen Bei walked out.
While others' doors were still at Level 1, his had already been upgraded to Level 3.
This time, he planned to go a bit further, to other floors, to collect more fire axes.
This type of weapon was available on every floor, and getting more wouldn't hurt.
If he took all the fire axes, others wouldn't have any to use, but he didn't care.
In a survival game, being a bit selfish was inevitable.
Departing!
Chen Bei was about to set off.
Just then, a door diagonally opposite opened.
A long-haired woman walked out, wearing the uniform blue and white uniform, with two buttons open at the collar, revealing a hint of cleavage, a rather attractive face, and a subtle hint of a worldly aura.
The woman had previously made eye contact with Chen Bei, and this time, she took the initiative to step out.
“Hello, my name is Cao Qingqing, and like you, I'm trapped in this game. I wanted to ask you, do you need a partner? Two people cooperating is always more advantageous than one, right!”
Cao Qingqing stood at the doorway, tentatively negotiating, her heart pounding.
