The Payback Has Arrived-The Terrifying Hidden Gains

We lowered the anchor and stood aboard the Hope, a ship that stood tall in the ocean like a god of war.

Su Mo, clad in full armor and wielding a majestic Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade, stared intently at the alien soldiers lined up in front of him.

Directly in front of him, Connie, who had just woken up, had already begun mobilizing the formation.

Within half an hour, these "hardworking and diligent" aliens had retrieved over 200 more wooden boxes, which, together with the 790 they had previously collected, brought them to a total of nearly 1,000.

As for the wooden crates further away, they either drifted to distant places or were hidden in the biological ash from artillery fire. Searching for them would not only waste time but also manpower and resources!

Therefore, after seeing that the efficiency was getting lower and lower, Su Mo directly ordered the collection to stop.

Moore was instructed to bring all the surrendered alien races aboard the Hope.

"Stand still, one by one, repeat the oath after me, renounce your clan!"

"Under the witness of the gods, all insincere heretics will be destroyed, and all devout believers will join our mighty Aur race!"

Waving her "pretentious" staff, Connie's body occasionally emitted a whirlwind much deeper than before, blowing away the dust on the deck.

At this moment, her voice was loud and clear, and there was no trace of the weakness she had shown when she was exhausted.

Su Mo was not the only one to benefit from this battle.

Connie also gained a lot! However, at this moment, Su Mo didn't have time to ask Connie how many levels she had gained. Instead, his eyes seemed to be fixed on the alien race below, but in reality, he was staring at the System Panel that was slowly appearing in the void!

Sure enough, it changed color!

The daily report, which changes color, will still only appear when tens of thousands of Survival Points have appeared! [Doomsday Calendar, February 25th]

[Scanning the host's living environment, Survival Points assessment in progress. 221 Survival Points obtained today.]

Final tally: Survival Points +34621 Remaining Survival Points: 48741 "I'm back! That familiar feeling is finally back!"

"In a few more days, my Survival Points will be back to 50,000, and I won't have to live in such a rush anymore!"

Staring at the panel where he was only two thousand points away from reaching fifty thousand Survival Points, Su Mo clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with excitement, wishing he could go down to the battlefield and have a hand-to-hand fight with an alien race.

Fifty thousand points—what does that mean? This Hope, a ship that embodies manpower, material resources, and financial resources, a ship that can be described as invincible at sea, only used a little over this many points!

Now, with just one battle, Su Mo has earned back all the points he had spent.

From now on, as long as the Hope wins battles, it's a sure-fire way to make money! All things considered, the Hope is practically the lowest-risk, highest-return investment in the wasteland! Meanwhile, on the other hand, "Since setting sail, my daily Survival Points have dropped drastically. Before, in the Underground Shelter, my daily income was a stable 600, but now it's plummeted back to 200."

"It seems it's time to make some minor improvements to the comfort level on the Hope!"

Losing 400 points a day may seem small on a base of 50,000, but when you actually calculate it, it's a painful loss! Without making changes, Su Mo will gain 3,000 fewer points per week compared to before.

This is no small sum.

If used for upgrades, putting aside everything else, increasing the Hope's completion rate by 0.5% is definitely not a problem! While deep in thought, he watched as Connie below completed the initiation ceremony for the miscellaneous alien races, and a small cookie pattern appeared between the eyebrows of everyone.

Su Mo nodded in relief and retreated, waving his hand to indicate to Connie that they could continue with their previous plan. There was no need to waste time on these ordinary alien soldiers.

Their addition could only provide limited assistance to the Hope in terms of productivity and firepower.

Especially among these alien soldiers, most of whom couldn't even speak human language.

Even if Su Mo stood there and gave a passionate speech for an hour, these incomprehensible alien races would not be moved in the slightest.

On the contrary, Su Mo's act of "delegating authority" on the eve of their joining, allowing other races to make contact with each other, actually enabled them to join more quickly.

"Gonggong, stow the anchor and prepare for a long journey. Locate the second navigation point."

After descending the stairs from the second-floor conference room to the cockpit, Su Mo sat in the captain's seat and placed his hand on the instrument panel to complete the authorization verification.

The long-distance travel mode is a driving mode that Su Mo added specifically for this sea voyage.

Once activated, after every four hours of cruising speed, Gonggong will automatically accelerate the Hope to its maximum speed for one hour, then return to cruising speed to allow the engine to cool down and rest.

After traveling for eleven hours, Gonggong will automatically stop the engine, allowing the ship to sail freely with the waves.

During the journey, the Fire Control Radar will activate a frequency band scan within 30 kilometers. Under the scan, Gonggong will try his best to plan a route to avoid the creatures along the route.

This setup allows the full performance of the all -Material Conversion Engine to be fully utilized.

At the same time, it doesn't put too much strain on the engine, causing other problems.

At this rate, it will only take about 9 days for the Hope to rendezvous with the Tundra on the other side of the ocean!

[Captain Su Mo, the Hope's long-distance travel mode has been activated, and the second navigation point has been automatically located. Have a pleasant journey!]

In terms of actual experience, the Hope ship in motion and the Hope ship stationary on the water give you exactly the same feeling.

After stepping out of the cockpit and onto the deck to confirm that the ship was moving, Su Mo hurriedly went down to the galley to prepare meals for everyone for the next day.

Having won such an exhilarating battle and acquired such a massive amount of supplies, Su Mo did not skimp on this meal.

Beef, stew it! Freshest vegetables, stir-fry them!

Moore loves Coca-Cola, Oreo prefers milk.

Big and Little Spark wine that makes sparks crackle with every sip, and Connie's favorite, the little green can of Tsingtao beer! All the "luxury" items that Su Mo usually only had were taken out of the Resource Warehouse and placed on the table.

However, after hearing the message from the others in the earpiece that they were busy and told Su Mo to eat first,

Su Mo paused for a moment, then laughed silently.

Great! Another piece of good news!

After this battle, and after being nourished by the Psionic Water for such a long time, the four children's thinking has gradually undergone some indescribable changes.

This change may be subtle, but it's like the flapping of a butterfly's wings.

These changes are more than enough to make them create a sensation in the future! In the past, after Su Mo gave the order to come and eat, no matter what they were doing, they would unconditionally put down what they were doing and come to the table to eat! Under the rules of the game, whether it's Oreo, Moore, or Big and Little Spark, their thinking is 100% restricted by the game.

They cannot disobey the commands given by their master Su Mo, for any reason.

This is the highest level of privilege the game grants to every player, which is directly embedded in the mindset of every pet.

But now, Su Mo sees hope in breaking this pattern!

Recalling the moments he had spent with the four little ones over the past few days, Su Mo ate and thought to himself, feeling quite happy.

He put the still-hot food into the pot to Temperature Control, without disturbing anyone, and like a fleeting ghost, Su Mo slipped into the warehouse.

Unlike last time, when there wasn't enough space to display the loot from the unpacking.

This time, the Hope still has a carrying capacity of several thousand tons. Even if a huge thing comes out of the treasure chest, the Hope can easily carry it!

"These thousand-plus Wooden Treasure Chest mostly contain daily necessities. The Hope ship has too much stock right now, so opening them would just leave them sitting there. It's better to keep the chests as they are."

"If the treasure chest can really be stored for a long time, it would be good to sell it on the Trading Market when the next Trading Realm opens."

Let's start by opening the Iron Treasure Chest!

Looking at the Iron Treasure Chest that used to be quite precious, now it's piled up in a corner like a cabbage, shimmering with dark light.

Su Mo rubbed his hands together and pounced on it excitedly!
