In the frame, there’s chopsticks holding bacon and instant noodles, about to be put into Lin Yue’s mouth, but he stares blankly at the camera direction.

The focus of interest for everyone in the group is slightly off.

Realizing something, Lin Yue quickly ran down to the basement, donned his climbing gear and pants at lightning speed, and returned.

"Ahem, it’s okay, I think it’s average."

"Can I wrap it around my waist? Did I brag?"

"Based on my many years of experience, this one’s real..."

"Lin Shen, do you need a partner? Can’t you be less rigid with gender?"

"I want to have a deep conversation with Yue Yue, communicate a bit."

"Wait, I clearly came first! Even the term Lin Shen was coined by me, okay?"

"Already charging ahead."

...

However, these voices were soon replaced by cries of astonishment from others.

The camera spins within the shelter, capturing everything on the first floor.

"Wait a minute, wasn’t it a stone shelter outside? Why did the walls inside turn into wood?"

"I figured it out! Damn, Lin Yue is amazing, he used wood panels to reinforce insulation inside, and nailed mutated creature skins on top, essentially adding another layer of warmth!"

"Holy moly, isn’t that an embedded steel plate fireplace? I used to sell them; they allow fuel to burn a second time while also..."

"Get to the point."

"In short, with this thing and Lin Yue’s dual-layer warming measures, opening a celestial pit in the snowfield with the shelter remaining snow-free is ridiculously easy. Of course, this also forces him to wear shorts and a vest in the shelter, or he’d get heatstroke."

"Heatstroke during a snow disaster, isn’t that wonderful? Now I understand why there’s a window; it’s not to show off but because it’s genuinely hot, though it is indeed a bit of showing off?"

"Look at the sweat on Lin Yue’s forehead; it’s not that he doesn’t want to wear more but truly can’t. He hasn’t worn the climbing gear for even a minute, and sweat’s pouring like water, right?"

"Professional! It shocked my mom for a whole year, what a legend!"

The camera continues to move, with everyone attentively watching this shelter that had started to astound them from the depths of their hearts.

Many were also aware that Lin Yue wasn’t just someone who had a lot of water but truly had enough skills to make his points three times the second place.

Moreover, more people were aware that perhaps things wouldn’t be that simple.

When the camera zoomed in on Lin Yue’s dining table, people began a new round of envy and jealousy.

"I’m done, I’ve eaten grass roots for two days straight. Thanks to Lin Yue, it’s the first time I’ve eaten meat in seven days, but such a top-notch setup with bacon instant noodles, I never expected it."

"There are even apples; I’ve forgotten when I last ate fruit."

"There’s also chips... Oh my, my lunch was crumb remnants from a chest opened days ago, this comparison is too cruel."

"Everyone take a closer look at the instant noodles, stare at it a bit, maybe we won’t need dinner today, this is called hoping on distant plums to quench thirst."

"You’re a devil, I’m hungrier looking at it, ten thousand people plead for Lin Big Boss to sell instant noodles! 1/10000"

"2/10000."

"Have you all seen, a glass cup, coffee! Damn, it’s like we’re living in different dimensions. Why don’t I even have water?"

"I advise everyone not to rush to praise, Lin Yue must absolutely have companions, probably nestling in the basement. I refuse to believe he can get all this by himself and live so well! He’s just a mascot for outward display."

"Exactly, still saying, if he doesn’t have companions, I’ll eat my hat upside down!"

...

However, aside from those obsessed with Lin Yue’s looks and what he’s eating, quite a few people noticed the beautiful and silver-like Bai on Lin Yue’s shoulder, chomping on an apple and slurping noodles.

"So cute, where can I find this creature, I really want it!"

"That lizard looks 18 cm, same as mine!"

"Haha, well that’s half smaller than mine."

"This little creature’s eyes are a bit too beautiful, pure red, Lin Yue would you please send it over? Don’t forget to pack two liters of water."

"Why so cute, why!"

"I also want to raise such a one, anyone knows where to get it?"

Seemingly aware of something, Bai slurped the noodles after, and his ruby-like eyes stared forward intensely, suddenly spewing a mouthful of visible white mist!

The screen was instantly shrouded and covered by this white mist, but after a while, it finally became clear again.

But this moment, everyone became unsettled.

"Did you see it? White mist?"

"Is this beginning of the magic world? Don’t stop me; I’ll curse with Avada!"

"Uh, wait, haven’t you seen fire-breathing mutated creatures? That’s not outrageous. What’s truly extraordinary is Lin Yue can tame such a mutated creature, right?"

"Thinking about it, I once found similar mutated creatures in a cave, much larger in size and extremely fierce. I barely escaped with smart maneuvers, they are the overlords in the cave."

"What kind of person is Lin Yue, to tame these creatures?"

"He absolutely has companions helping him, absolutely!"

Yet, the camera spun around the room again, showcasing quite comprehensive furniture and various weapons, then directly descended through the stair under the table, reaching the quiet basement.

The basement was fairly quiet.

Aside from a bed with a bamboo mat, there were plenty of supplies, many of which were unfamiliar to everyone, and notably, there wasn’t a single figure, no companions as others mentioned.

Some marveled at the fur, some were shocked at Lin Yue acquiring many machinery pieces, while others pondered how Lin Yue achieved such feats in a short time.

Right at this moment, the livestream screen shifted again, displaying detailed scores of Lin Yue’s shelter.

[Overall Score: 1095]

[Shelter Score: 350]

[Supplies Score: 495]

[Shelter Personnel Bonus: 0]

[Disaster Resistance Bonus: 250]

Differently from the top two, this time, almost no one doubted Lin Yue, nor did anyone think the system scoring was wrong.

Everyone could see how different Lin Yue’s style was in this snow disaster where everyone was freezing near to death.

Others wish they could wear ten layers of fur; Lin Yue’s so hot he can only wear shorts and vest, sweating profusely on a bamboo mat.

Others drink half a drop of water, last three to four days with a loaf of bread; he drinks coffee and eats instant noodles, with bacon, and even has fruits and snacks after meals.

Others are lonely, only have fingers and indexes as companions, but he even raised an extremely beautiful and cute pet, which could spew icy air and seemed quite intelligent.

Lin Yue lives a lifestyle on another level, a step ahead of everyone, as if while others suffer, he’s enjoying a holiday.

"Why is his style so different from ours?" someone shouted.
