The three players ate something in the base, then excitedly pushed the cart away, looking like they were moving.
Cheng Shaofeng secretly smacked his lips.
"The base will definitely need more transportation tools in the future... I'll buy two more wheeled vehicles next time I go to Yanjing Town."
"Let the players collect more supplies, and I'll use them to exchange for money."
"By the way, if you save up 300 yuan, you can get a gun from the Colossus City Caravan."
Even though he now had the equipment dropped by the loot generator and the high-quality weapons made by Xiaoxiao, there was still a big gap in power compared to firearms.
After all, the famous seven-step theory is right there, and you have to believe it.
As long as they are still mortal, they will not be able to resist guns for a long time.
Unless the base can take him mechanically into ascension.
Thinking of this, Cheng Shaofeng had an idea.
"Zero, you said before that the energy of the base is too low, so there are few functions that can be used, and the robots can only use low-level nano-engineers. Now that I have more energy, should the functions of the Scourge Base be updated?"
Zero: "Your current energy is only 1.49%, which does not meet the minimum requirement for unlocking new features. The next stage will be unlocked when the base energy reaches 5%."
"What functions will the base have after it is unlocked? Will there be nanorobots that can kill people without my even sneezing?"
Zero: "You need to unlock it and check it yourself. My memory function is limited and I can't know it in advance."
"All right... "
Cheng Shaofeng did not ask about the future function of the base, but at least he knew the key node of 5%.
"I need the players to work harder! How can I become stronger if you don't work hard?"
"I just collected three electronic components, plus the prey that the players handed over to me today. As long as I ensure that the players have the ability to revive, I should be able to summon new players tomorrow."
As for creatures like players, the more they are, the better, as long as they are controllable.
In particular, players still need to fight monsters and level up to gradually become stronger. The earlier they are summoned, the faster the strength of the Scourge Base will grow.
"Although no predators or other forces have discovered that we have settled here, the future is uncertain... We must increase our combat power before other forces discover us."
When Cheng Shaofeng was planning the future of the base, the Forgiveness Hat came back.
He carried a large linen bag on his back, which was filled with various mushrooms and fruits.
Among them, the most common one is the half red and half blue Ice and Fire Solitary.
"My Lord, these are the Ice and Fire Orphans you requested. I found 21 of them!"
Cheng Shaofeng: (⊙ꇴ⊙)
21 flowers!!!
Happiness came too suddenly. Cheng Shaofeng used the math knowledge he learned from taking the advanced math make-up exam three times in his previous life to calculate.
The calculations are complicated!
But he still figured it out in his head.
21*30=630.
These ice and fire orphans can be sold for 630 yuan!
A wheeled cart is only 30 bucks, and a whole mutant hyena is no more than 80 bucks! You can get a gun from the Colossus Caravan for 300 bucks!
If these mushrooms are exchanged for beans, they can be exchanged for 525 kilograms of beans. If properly stored, these can be enough food for one person to eat for a whole year.
Outrageous!
Very outrageous!
Instead of working so hard fighting and killing, Xigou and the other two would rather forgive Mao for picking up some valuable mushrooms.
"Forgive Hat Wholesaler... You did a great job. This mushroom is a high-quality material. I can exchange it with merchants in large settlements for resources used in our natural disaster base. You have done a great job, and I will reward you with an additional 200 merits!"
Complete the task 'Collecting Ice and Fire'
Because the amount collected exceeds the task requirements, the lord gives extra rewards.
Obtain 21 Iron Coins, 400 Merit Points
Forgiveness Hat looked at his watch and smiled with satisfaction.
"Thank you, Lord! It's my honor to serve you!"
Cheng Shaofeng immediately said: "Ice and Fire are an important resource. I need more Ice and Fire. If you can collect them, I will give you more rewards."
Ding~Receive a new task: Collect Ice and Fire II
Mission requirements: Collect 30 Ice and Fire Orphans.
Current progress: 0/30
Mission reward: 30 iron coins, 300 merit points.
Collecting more Ice and Fire Orphans will earn you extra rewards from the Lord.
"Eh? A series of tasks? Then I'll have to look for it carefully."
"By the way, Lord, can you lend me the cart in our base?"
Cheng Shaofeng: "You want a car too?"
"Uh... Did they borrow the little dog?"
Cheng Shaofeng nodded.
The Forgiveness Hat had no choice but to touch Cheng Shaofeng helplessly and left.
He muttered to himself: "How can we transport iron ore without a cart... Let's wait for Xigou and the others to come back. I'll go to the mine to look for mushrooms..."
Listening to the words of the Forgiveness Hat, Cheng Shaofeng pondered for a moment.
"Soldiers, follow me to Yanjing Town. We are going to purchase some necessary supplies."
He had long been preparing to purchase a batch of supplies for the players to use. Previously, they did not have any valuable resources, but now with these 23 Ice and Fire Flowers, they could buy many items they urgently needed.
In fact, if you really want to purchase a large amount of supplies, the caravan from Colossus City is the best trading partner. They come to the Four Mountains every half a month, but unfortunately they just passed by here yesterday, so we have to wait half a month.
In Cheng Shaofeng's memory, there were also several human settlements in the Four Mountains area where trading could take place, but none of them were as safe as the route to Yanjing Town.
He often takes this route, and its biggest advantage is: there are no predators.
... ...
"There really aren't that many looters..."
The Thin Dog is hiding behind a boulder next to the Pillager Camp 1 and watching.
As the fox demon expected, the main group of plunderers here also left, leaving only 4.
Lin Tang stared at him for a while and suddenly became angry.
"MD! These are the four little monsters that cut me into pieces last time! Don't look down on the poor youngsters! No matter what anyone says today, I, Lin Tang, am going to kill as many people as I can!"
The other two: "..."
The fox groaned for a moment, "Actually... we can kill as many as we want today, after all, everyone's equipment has been updated, but it's a bit dangerous to deal with four of them at the same time, and we don't know if there are any predators hiding in their cellars... Let's do this, for safety's sake, let's find someone to lure a few of them away first, and then vote to decide."
Lin Tang:
Three minutes later, Lin Tang came out cursing and yelled at the four stunned predators: "I am resurrected! Come and catch me again!"
Suddenly, the four predators were startled.
Then he chased after Lin Tang.
It was just that vaguely, the four predators with low IQs felt that this scene... was familiar.
They felt as if they had dreamt of this scene before, and even the people chasing them looked like the humans running in front.
After Lin Tang lured the predator away, the thin dog and the fox entered the cellar again.
This time, it was a familiar route.
There were no guarding looters or captured humans inside, just three empty cells.
Xigou pointed to the innermost room and said, "This is where we found the lord..."
"Go in and take a closer look."
The fox demon picked up a torch on the wall and walked into the dungeon. He calmly pushed aside the rotten corpses on the ground and searched for signs of human presence.
As the two were flipping through the pages, two balls of scarlet light appeared behind them.
A skeleton... stood up.
