Chapter 27 The Fortress
[Mobile Turret Blueprint: 10 All-Purpose Metal, 30 Iron Blocks, 3 Alloy Plates, 30 Gunpowder, 30 Energy Cores]
No wonder it's a mobile turret! I've never seen materials like alloy plates and gunpowder before!
However, Yu Qi was not discouraged. Maybe others had found gunpowder. Since it was needed to make mobile turrets, they must have such resources!
She regretfully put the blueprint into her spatial storage and then opened the Level 4 vehicle direction card.
When she first received the card, she had a suspicion, and now that she opened it, she thought it was true.
[Tier 4 Vehicle Upgrade Card: Selects a Tier 4 vehicle upgrade path: Intelligent Train, Intelligent Armored Vehicle, Intelligent RV, Intelligent Ambulance, Intelligent Truck, Intelligent Bus.]
Are these the only upgrade options?
Yu Qi opened the other cards and found that the upgrade paths of the other cards were different, and each card was different.
After much deliberation, she finally decided to upgrade to a smart armored vehicle!
As long as you have various space expansion cards, the space inside is roughly the same, which should be enough to meet basic living needs.
But this kind of upgrade is different; it concerns one's own life safety!
She should choose an upgrade type that is both offensive and defensive, so that she won't be at a disadvantage when fighting other vehicles in the future!
She put the vehicle upgrade direction card into her spatial storage and went back to selling goods at the trading shop.
Disliked compressed biscuits, instant foods, and overly sweet chocolates can be thrown into the store and exchanged for basic ingredients.
The front few empty spaces in the store were stocked with tomatoes, spicy peanut sauce, spicy meat sauce, and steamed pumpkin.
If you have rice, you'll definitely make pumpkin porridge and sell it.
But she had already used up all her planting opportunities for the day, and she wouldn't be able to plant rice until tomorrow, so she simply processed the pumpkin into steamed pumpkin.
She ate a few slices herself, and like tomatoes, they made her feel full.
Not only that, it can also improve physical fitness!
Five pumpkins will increase your constitution by two points, which is pretty good.
She simply divided the five pumpkins into one portion, with three Energy Hearts in each portion, and then listed 60 portions in the trading shop.
They will be available together.
After that, I went straight to the chat lobby to promote it.
Hunting Time: "Tomatoes and spicy sauce are now available! Today's special is steamed pumpkin, first come, first served, hurry and grab yours!"
What she said was not an exaggeration at all, because shortly after it was launched, the stock in the backend was disappearing at a rapid pace, and before long, even the last batch of pumpkins was sold out.
The players in the chat lobby were lamenting. They had been keeping a close eye on the top player's shop, so how come they were still a step behind?
"Haha, no one can match my speed! I snatched every single item the boss released today! It's a pity that each item is limited to one, otherwise I could have grabbed even more!"
"Hey you upstairs, come here and take a look! I'm not going to kill you! I was wondering why these goods weren't arriving so quickly. Turns out it's you, you octopus, stirring things up! I'm so angry! I got nothing but a wasted opportunity!"
"That's great, it's so late and everyone's still jumping around here. By the way, have you encountered any monsters?"
"I encountered two pheasants, what about you? Those two pheasants ran away in fright before I could even glare at them!"
"I encountered a snake and fought it for 300 rounds, even getting bitten several times. I thought I was about to die, and I was even writing my last words. But it turned out to be a non-venomous snake! What a waste of my feelings!"
"Help! I've encountered two wolves! Luckily, I've been hiding inside a vehicle. Those two green eyes are terrifying!"
"It's good that you found it in time. After dark, I couldn't see anything at all. When I was opening the box, a strange thing suddenly jumped at me and bit me. I'm still bleeding!"
"Seriously, the night is so dangerous. It's pitch black everywhere except in vehicles. Why is the night so dark in a road trip game? I feel like I'm trapped in a secret room. Even though I haven't encountered any monsters yet, I'm still terrified!"
Upon seeing this, Yu Qi suddenly remembered that the lantern fruits in his homestead should be ripe by now.
She went inside and took a look, and was surprised to find that the mutated sunflower, just like the lantern fruit, had a ripe mark on top!
[Mutant Sunflower: A helpful guardian of vehicles. It automatically spits out sunflower seed bombs whenever enemies or monsters approach. After spitting them out, feed it an Energy Heart, and it will recover in one hour.]
No wonder the mutated sunflower needed three whole days to grow; it's that amazing!
From then on, even if she was surrounded by monsters, she was no longer afraid!
The mutated sunflower is essentially a mobile artillery turret!
She happily placed the mutated sunflower together with the other mutated babies, cheering them on.
"More monsters will definitely come later, and then it'll be up to you guys! You can do it!"
"Others fight zombies, we fight monsters!"
"Charge! Charge! Charge!"
The sunflower spat out a seed with a "poof".
Yu Qi was startled, thinking this guy was going to rebel, but unexpectedly he brought over an edible melon seed.
She put it in her mouth and cracked it open, and thought it tasted pretty good!
[Ding: Constitution increased by 1]
It actually has this effect?
She shamelessly plucked a few more from the mutated sunflowers, but after eating the third one, the effect stopped working.
I don't know if it will work tomorrow. If she can improve once a day, she'll get a special pot to roast the sunflower seeds before eating them, and roast them with a caramel flavor!
Knock knock knock!
The mutated sunflower took several steps back, as if it could read its owner's mind.
Yu Qi smiled like a loving mother: "Xiao Kui, you should eat more energy foods so we can grow taller!"
Knock knock knock!
The sunflower took a few more steps back; it felt something was wrong!
"Alright, I'm not kidding you. You guys stay by the vehicle and keep watch. I'm going to exchange for resources."
She went to all the customers she had worked with and asked if they needed lantern fruit and workbenches.
Because she found it troublesome, she always sent mass messages, but then she accidentally sent one to Xinghe Rumeng.
Star River Enters the Dream: "???"
"You have another workbench?"
Hunting Moment: "Wrong number, wrong number."
Star River in Dreams: "..."
I feel like vomiting blood for no reason. How come that top hunter has so many workbenches? Does he have blueprints?
Xinghe Rumeng: "Wait, don't go yet, I'm going to buy some lantern fruits!"
As the person who originally provided the lantern fruit seeds, he naturally knew that this fruit had amazing uses.
Hunting Moment: "One fruit for one intermediate energy heart!"
Star River Enters Dream: "Deal! Give me two!"
After the change was completed here, the other customers also responded.
The bald girl's stubbornness: "I don't have any important resources to exchange, but I can exchange for lantern fruits. Could you save one for me, sir?"
Lolita: "There are glowing fruits! Please save one for me, I have some glowing bugs here, so we can make a pair!"
Dreaming of becoming a live-in son-in-law: "Boss, I want to trade for this fruit. It's so dark and scary, I really need this kind of fruit!"
Yu Qi replaced the lantern fruit for the three people above, and then returned to his taciturn state.
The taciturn man said, "I'm changing my workbench. What do you need over there? Universal metal or alloy sheet? I also have mysterious seeds; I just happened to get one today."
Since the other party also possesses the All-Purpose Metal, Yu Qi decided not to hold back.
Hunting Moment: "I need all-purpose metal, alloy plates, and mysterious seeds. How many do you have?"
[System: The Silent One is sending you 50 Universal Metals, 6 Alloy Plates, 1 Mysterious Seed, 1 Dizziness Card, and 2 Intermediate Energy Hearts. Accept?]
Fifty units of universal metal? That's way too much! We don't even need that much for this upgrade! Plus, they gave us a stun card. That kind of card can stun monsters and enemies, it's really useful!
Yu Qi quickly collected the items, thought about it carefully, and added a lantern fruit and a steamed pumpkin to Chen Mo's plate. Since the other party had given more resources, they should reciprocate!
She put the rest of the lantern fruits on the trading shop and stopped asking, figuring someone would eventually buy them.
After all this back and forth, she looked at the resources she had collected and found that she had only collected half of the basic resources, but her energy cores were plentiful.
[Iron Block x322, Plastic x311, Glass x100, Tire x40, Energy Heart x511, Intermediate Energy Heart x30]
Although there are many Energy Hearts, they are also consumed in large quantities. Sunflowers eat a medium-level energy heart in one bite each; they really know how to eat!
She might have to raise even more mutated plant babies in the future, and thinking about it, she felt that these energy hearts were really too few!
The task ahead is arduous and the road is long!
