CHAPTER 370: CHAPTER 326: LIZARDMAN? NO MATTER HOW MANY COME, THEY’RE ALL JUST GIVING THEMSELVES AWAY!

In the Otherworld, things like upgrades often come at unpredictable moments.

Take right now, for instance; Lin Yue never expected that after building a medium-sized food preservation cold storage next to a small food processing plant, he would receive a system notification about an "upgrade."

"Oh wow, an Intermediate Universal Upgrade Design Map can merge these two together and directly upgrade to a large integrated factory—how cool is that?"

Normally, he uses the Universal Upgrade Design Map to upgrade weapons or machine dogs.

Now, to suddenly be able to use it for factory upgrades was definitely beyond his expectations.

Who would’ve thought that buildings could be upgraded together?

"An Intermediate Universal Upgrade Design Map... I still have ten of these, which is quite a lot. If this thing ranks first in the group next time, I suppose I’ll get another one."

Lin Yue muttered to himself, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

Why is it so hot today?

It’s absolutely ridiculous.

It even reminds him of the so-called "hottest summer in history."

Lin Yue vividly remembers that the city where the orphanage was located was hit by a once-in-decades heatwave, with daytime temperatures around forty degrees. Nobody dared to go outside for fear of heat stroke or even heat illness from the sun.

The blades of the ceiling fan in the orphanage were even deformed by the high temperature, and the road outside was no better; stepping on it was sticky, and ants thrown onto it would be roasted in three seconds.

Lin Yue even tried frying an egg on the hood of the director’s BMW—it cooked instantly!

Today’s weather feels quite similar to back then, maybe even worse.

The reason... probably because this place is a Desert, with even less cover.

Lin Yue wiped his face again and immediately took out the Intermediate Universal Upgrade Design Map.

He couldn’t afford to waste any more time; he needed to get things done quickly because the heat was simply too crazy.

[You used the Intermediate Universal Upgrade Design Map, you obtained a multifunctional large cold fresh food processing factory!]

A burst of white light suddenly bloomed over the small food processing plant and the medium-sized food preservation cold storage, and soon the light changed shape, integrating the two not-so-small factories into one, stretching taller and longer!

As the light faded, a gigantic rectangular processing factory appeared in front of Lin Yue!

"Uh, isn’t this a bit too big?" Lin Yue looked back at his Shelter, feeling that the size of the multifunctional large cold fresh food processing factory was even bigger than it.

He pushed open the heavy Alloy Door and walked inside.

"Oh? It’s split into two areas, with the left being the food processing factory and the right being for cold storage, right?" The structure was still simple, just two elongated spaces separated by a wall in the middle.

All the various machines of the previous small food processing plant were still around, and on the right, the machinery for the cold storage was also complete.

But...

"Still no power, just kidding."

Lin Yue looked at the dense electrical wires and connectors, shaking his head.

The large 1000kw diesel generator was still missing an important piece—the motor. If he could find that, his processing factory could operate smoothly.

Before that happens, he could only let this place keep serving as a showpiece.

Lin Yue took another tour inside and then walked out, looking at the big sheds.

The situation inside... probably wouldn’t be too good.

Without shade nets with such strong UV rays, anything inside would definitely turn to dried-up plants.

He stood at the edge of Shed No. 3 and lifted the plastic film door.

A strange stench mixed with dense fog rushed out instantly, hitting him in the face.

Lin Yue quickly closed the plastic film door.

No need to look; he didn’t need to see the situation inside; the smell alone told him everything.

They must have been scorched to rot...

Lin Yue then checked the losses of Shed No. 2 and Shed No. 1, and surprisingly found that watermelons were growing well, and Devil’s Pepper seemed like it was on steroids, growing like a tree!

[You obtained 21 watermelons!]

[You obtained 19kg of Devil’s Pepper!]

As for the others, they weren’t looking too lively. If this weather continued for another two or three days, they might just lead to total failure.

"It would be too wasteful to throw them away, but in this weather, the sunlight is just too intense. I have to come up with some solution..." Lin Yue looked up, gazing at the Shelter, and then at the outer walls surrounding it. Suddenly, he came up with a good idea!

Using high-grade walls as a cover would work just fine.

Though it might sacrifice some sunlight, relatively, it could significantly reduce the temperature!

Before setting up glass greenhouse sheds, he would use this method temporarily. At least this way, he could allow the vegetables and fruits to continue growing, though the quality and yield might suffer slightly, but this would surely minimize losses compared to a complete reduction in production.

Lin Yue immediately used the remaining stones from yesterday’s wall construction and erected five-meter-high stone walls in front of each shed!

On top of the stone walls, Lin Yue chose to knit with iron mesh and fixed them with nails, then added a layer of wooden boards on top, leaving some gaps for ventilation.

Around the stone walls, he made numerous holes to serve the same purpose with the ventilation openings.
