Chapter 13 - Chapter 11: Tenfold Power, the Ability Unleashed!

In memory, when the house title deed was still in the hands of his father, it was as thick as two fingers.

However, the house title deed in Su Lin's hand, even with the addition of two pages of blueprints, is just about as thin as two to three stacked coins.

At this moment, as the blueprints merge in, the pages of the deed turn by themselves without any wind.

Su Lin's sharp eyes catch sight of his personal information on the second page, and the third page shows Su Tongxi's—his page marked boldly as "Homeowner," while Su Tongxi's is "Tenant."

The rules of the homeowner and tenant are vividly clear from his past memories.

Because tenants are entirely subject to the restrictions of the homeowner.

Everything regarding the tenant is subject to the homeowner.

Chang Sanheng's son forced him under the guise of tax collection to terminate Su Tongxi's tenant status, precisely because of this point.

Once the homeowner dies, the tenant becomes undocumented.

Then, not only can they not inherit the safe house, but they also cannot become another's tenant.

Even if they hide in another safe house, at night they will be mercilessly expelled by the rules, and even the homeowner of that house cannot prevent it.

What's more crucial is that tenants absolutely cannot harm the homeowner in any way.

Without homeowner authorization, the construction platform, disassembly station, and even doors and windows cannot be operated.

The homeowner can even, just by a thought, use the rules to kick the tenant out at any time.

Su Lin couldn't help but glance at Su Tongxi, a lot of "Sister, you wouldn't want…" series of thoughts flashing through his mind.

"Damn, why is my brain getting filthier after traversing! Must've been contaminated by the past self!"

Su Lin quickly shakes off the distracting thoughts.

"Save it for later!"

The house title deed finally turns to the page where the earth spike floor blueprint is located, and the blueprint has perfectly merged, the junction of the book tightly seamless.

At this moment, a glowing phantom appears within Su Lin's view:

A perfectly square iron floor, covered with neatly arranged, bottomless holes.

"Brother Kirin, you should have a rules prompt in front of you now, that phantom is the construction position selection."

Su Tongxi softly reminds him, "If the phantom dims, it means the position is not suitable. We need to find the right place."

Her small hand gently tugged at Su Lin's clothes:

"Brother Kirin, we are now in a Level 1 Safe House, aside from the monster rampage during the Night of Survival, there is a limited number and strength of monsters in daily attacks, and they only attack from the front door.

"We can construct the earth spikes in front of the door, and then on the walls on both sides of the door, adjust the angle to build impact walls slanting towards the entrance."

After speaking, she timidly checked Su Lin's face, adding, "What do you think, Brother Kirin?"

"Alright! I'm listening to you!" Su Lin nodded broadly.

His past self was clueless, and he doesn't understand either, better to listen to this wise helper, Humpty Dumpty.

Su Tongxi feels relieved, under the stereotype, she was really afraid Brother Kirin wouldn't like her advice.

They walk outside the house.

Su Lin, following Su Tongxi's indication, confirms the construction of earth spike floors with his mind in front of the door.

Some of the materials inside the house subsequently disappear.

With the construction underway, Su Lin holding the house title deed can see the phantom, Su Tongxi can also see the square phantom of the earth spikes at this moment.

"Thanks for patiently waiting, Brother Kirin, the construction mechanism can only be carried out by the homeowner personally, others have no authority."

Su Tongxi explains softly.

"Moreover, the construction time for mechanisms is quite long. A Level 1 Safe House can have up to three mechanisms, monsters attack at nine o'clock and last for three hours. Having these three completed before eight o'clock, we still have time... Hmm?!"

The gentle sound abruptly cuts off!

Su Tongxi's almond eyes suddenly widen, her mouth slightly open, confused and incredulous, looking at the block of spike floor phantom in front of Su Lin's door, suddenly undergoing a dramatic change!

As the halo flickers, the square outline seems to be stretched and expanded by an invisible hand, and in the blink of an eye, the coverage area increases tenfold!

From covering just a small piece of ground in front of the door, it suddenly becomes a long carpet two meters wide and five meters long, completely enveloping the area in front of the door!

What's even more shocking is that the entity, which originally required slow coagulation, is now forming rapidly at a visibly perceivable speed!

Metal structures, sharp spikes, details swiftly outlined and solidified!

"What, what's going on?!"

Su Tongxi is completely bewildered, staring blankly at this scene beyond common sense, her mouth slightly open, her small pink tongue faintly visible, her face filled with astonishment and confusion.

At this moment, Su Lin is already overwhelmed with joy internally!

"It worked! This tenfold enhancement is all-encompassing! Construction speed, coverage area... the power surely is too!"

He suppresses his excitement and pretends to be equally surprised and puzzled, looking at Su Tongxi: "Humpty Dumpty, what's happening?"

"I-I don't know..."

Su Tongxi's eyelashes trembled, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, her chest rose and fell in waves due to her anxiety.

She thought she might have forgotten some teachings from Mr. Su in the past, feeling anxious and ready to cry.

Su Lin hurriedly reassures: "But it seems... like a good thing?"

"R-Really?"

Su Tongxi composes herself, carefully observing the rapidly forming, widely covering, menacing floor, it indeed doesn't seem like a bad thing, she relaxes slightly, wipes off sweat with lingering fear:

"Brother Kirin, why don't I call Grandpa or Second Uncle to check it out?"

Su Lin knows well, there's no need to complicate things, so he shakes his head and says:

"Oh, no need, right? The spikes have grown larger, and construction is faster, in any case, it's a great thing. Why bother Uncle and them? Maybe... it's just special talent of mine!"

He half-jokingly says.

"B-But..."

"Alright, alright, it's almost done, we still have to test the impact walls on both sides of the door next, you better not talk too much."

Su Lin pulls an authoritative face, his tone carrying unquestionable firmness.

Su Tongxi, aware of his authority, becomes instantly speechless.

Su Lin, seeing her obedience, contentedly pats her head for reassurance.

Su Tongxi indeed takes kindly to this, her face softening, her eyes like water gazing at him, like a little puppy with smoothed fur.

...

With the tenfold boost in power, the earth spike floor that originally took over an hour to complete finishes in just a few minutes!

The solid and spike-laden metal grid deeply embeds into the ground in front of the door, emitting an icy gleam.

Without pause, Su Lin immediately starts constructing the impact walls, also known as crash walls.

The name of the impact wall is not as straightforward as the earth spike floor.

Its essence is a 1x1 crude wall with a built-in spring mechanism, which will violently strike when it senses enemies passing by, flinging them away.

Its lethality is limited, primarily serving a controlling function.

According to the plan, he needs to build the two walls on either side inside the door and adjust the angle to slant towards the entrance to effectively utilize their impact and repel monsters.

Su Tongxi remains closely by his side, her almond eyes watching unblinkingly.

As Su Lin selects the position on the left wall and confirms construction with his mind, the "King of the Garbage Can" enhancement activates again!

Another anomaly occurs!

Su Tongxi covers her little mouth in shock again!

The wall shadow, originally designed to be 1x1 in size and roughly smooth surface, under the distortion of the Power of Rules, suddenly undergoes a dramatic transformation!

The smooth wall as if bristling with thorns instantly "grows" rows and rows of menacing dense sharp iron spikes!

At the same time, the wall's volume is rapidly increasing, its height nearly reaching the roof, width covering most of the wall body!

What's more bizarre is that this huge spiked iron wall is splitting into several relatively independent areas under the halo, reducing the coverage of each strike but increasing the density and frequency of attacks!
