Filling the Basics, Reaping Rich Hidden Gains

So far, Su Mo has obtained two types of cards in total.

The first type is cards derived from resources.

Whether it's generation, appearance modification, or resource restoration, these cards are enough to change the environment within a shelter territory.

If you have enough resource cards, even the most barren place can be transformed into a rich paradise that everyone envies in an instant by the power of the cards!

In addition, there are function cards with different attributes.

Examples include powerful Shan Hai Painting cards, cards that allow you to evade game detection, and Heaven Stealing Sun Swapping cards that can release excavators.

These cards possess a wondrous power of unknown origin; each one, used in the right place, can be enough to change the course of a battle.

But now, looking at the card with brand new attributes in front of him, Su Mo's eyes twitched, and he fully opened the attribute analysis interface provided by the game.

[Memory Weapon Manifestation Card (Rare)]

[Description]: A card containing a unique materialization energy. When a player uses this card, they can extract a weapon from their memory into reality. Please note that this card can only materialize the weapon itself and will not include an equivalent amount of standard ammunition with the weapon.

[Aspect of Realization]: Determined by the Bonds between the player and the weapon.

[Limitation ①]: Conjuration has a certain success rate. When conjuring, the card will automatically analyze nine factors such as the rank, lethality, and rarity of the conjured item to give the success rate. When the success rate is not 100%, there is a risk of failure. Once it fails, the card disappears.

[Restriction ②]: Manifestation cards can be fused; the more cards fused, the higher the probability of manifesting an item.

[Restriction ③]: When manifesting the same weapon, a certain success rate can be accumulated after each failure. When the success rate reaches its maximum, a successful manifestation is guaranteed.

[Restriction 4]: Not tradable. [Recovery Value]: High.

[Recycling Price]: 800 Disaster Points. The attributes of the entire card are not difficult to understand. Stroking the bottom edge of the card, trying to understand, Su Mo chose to silently recite a great name that was once remembered by both humans and alien races: Dongfeng-17!

Speaking of Bonds, even those who have actually manipulated 17 on Earth can't compare to half of Su Mo's current bond! After all, even in modern times, you can't find another person who can sit in a "magical" missile vehicle and press a button to launch Dongfeng Missile all by themselves.

[Weapon selection successful. Bonds calculation in progress. Current Bonds is 95.6%. Manifestation: Dongfeng-17 missile. Success rate calculation in progress.]

[Current success rate is 0.003%. The success rate automatically increases by 0.001% for each failure. Manifest now?]

"No!"

Seeing that the success rate given by the card was slightly higher than expected, Su Mo chuckled and shook his head to cancel the manifestation.

Next, Su Mo made numerous more attempts to materialize the weapons already available on the Hope.

Among them, whether it's Explosive Pack, pistols, rifles, or machine guns—things that require almost no technical skill—the success rate given by the embodied card is 100%.

Even some small and medium-sized weapons that Su Mo had only seen but never touched on Earth had a success rate that generally hovered above 90%.

Based on this range, "If the authorities have four or five such cards and they can actually manifest something, then their confidence this time is completely justified!"

"No, if there are Weapon Manifestation Card, are there other types of manifestation cards?"

"For example, ammunition? Tools? Infrastructure?"

From small things, one can see the big picture.

Having lived in the wasteland for so long and seen so many illogical items, Su Mo quickly accepted new things.

After contemplating the uses of other types of cards, Su Mo didn't delve deeper into the matter and instead continued to open all the remaining treasure chests.

Among these 21 Gold Treasure Chest, it seemed that Su Mo's luck, which had previously disappeared on the Iron Treasure Chest, had returned, with a total of four flashes of light appearing.

Proportionally speaking, a one-in-five drop rate is astonishing.

Take inventory of all the items found in all the Silver Treasure Chest and Gold Treasure Chest.

Opening the Game Panel resource record number that hadn't been used for a long time, Su Mo's thoughts, sharp as a knife, began to carve.

[Design Blueprints]: 14 Excellent-level design blueprints, 11 Fine-level design blueprints, 1 Ultra-Micro Iron Smelting Plant Construction Manual (Rare), 1 Ocean Traversal Brand Assault Speedboat (Rare), 1 High-strength Corrosion-Resistant Wire Manufacturing Blueprint (Rare) [Tools]: 6 Excellent-level tools, 14 Fine-level tools, 1 Electric Spiral Drill Bit (Rare), 1 40-meter High-Speed Transmission Network Cable (Rare), 1 High-Power Safety Charger (Rare) [Items]: 4 Excellent-level items, 4 Fine-level items, 1 Diving Breathing Set (Rare), 1 Liquid Replicator (Rare) [Cards]: 2 Level 1 Random Resource Generation Card 0.2m Storage Space Expansion Coupon *1, Level 1 Resource Modification Card (storage increase)*1, Memory Weapon Manifestation Card *2, Level 2 Resource Generation Card *1, Storage Recovery Card (5%)*1. The gains from this battle were quite substantial. Compared to the previous battles, the items obtained, whether blueprints or props, greatly supplemented some basics that had been neglected during the rapid development of the shelter.

All the design plans basically cover the deficiencies in the shelter's infrastructure. As long as you can learn and build them, the strength within the shelter's territory will be visibly improved.

In the coupon category, two more level-one resources and one level-two resource have appeared, which can be said to bring more future potential to the undervalued area.

Of the remaining items, the one that interested Su Mo the most was the Liquid Replicator that had dropped from the inventory! "It can even replicate Psionic Water, not bad, not bad, but that's the price..."

"Too expensive!"

The Liquid Replicator is about half a person's height and looks very similar to Washing Machine.

It's incredibly easy and simple to use.

Simply add approximately 10ml of the liquid to be copied, select it as the copy subject, fill the copyer with the required volume of liquid, and click copy.

Depending on the item's rank and rarity, a fee can be paid to successfully duplicate it.

If you can get this item early in the game, it will definitely become a powerful weapon when everyone is short of water.

However, at this stage, since almost all players in the wasteland have freshwater reserves, it can only be used as a development tool! Of course, replicating 1 ton of freshwater also requires 100 Disaster Points.

However, the cost of replicating other liquids starts to skyrocket!

For example, to replicate one liter of Psionic Water Psionic Water, it takes a full 5,000 Disaster Points.

Apart from Su Mo himself, no other individual player in the wasteland could come up with such a huge sum of money! With such an expense, this item seems useless.

However, after examining it closely, Su Mo found a use for it.

The bucket of light-absorbing paint we harvested from the Liangfang Town ruins can also be considered a liquid! If this paint could be mass-produced and applied to the surface of the Hope, it would be ideal.

Although it cannot achieve a similar effect to invisibility during the day, it can only barely interfere with the line of sight from a distance of a few kilometers.

But at night, the Hope transforms into a true "ghost of the night."

300 meters away, as long as the Hope doesn't turn on its lights, even with careful observation, you can only see a rough outline of it as it navigates the sea.

At a depth of about 500 to 800 meters, it can achieve a semi-invisibility effect, completely blending into the seawater.

If they were more than a kilometer away, even alien races with special visual abilities would have virtually no chance of spotting the Hope.

Su Mo had long coveted this powerful stealth capability when he was designing the Hope, but unfortunately, he only had one bucket of paint, not even enough to paint the bow of the ship.

Unexpectedly, we unexpectedly acquired this item after setting sail, making it an extremely worthwhile investment! As for the price of replicating it, "I only need to apply a thin layer to the entire boat. Based on 1kg of paint covering 4 to 6 meters, it would only require about one ton of paint to replicate at most."

"Compared to Psionic Water"

After trying to put 10ml of paint into the copier, the Game Panel flashed and showed the price for copying 1 kilogram of paint.

3.8 points.

It's not expensive, but it's not cheap either. If you only need to farm one Earth Tiger, then it's definitely a great deal.

However, because of its large surface area, the Hope's cost was directly raised to around 3800 points! With this in mind, Su Mo took a deep breath and turned his attention to the current Disaster Points reserves.

He was shocked when he saw it! Upon discovering that his Disaster Points had suddenly reached 18,200, Su Mo slapped his forehead and exclaimed with joy, "How could I have forgotten about the point reward for winning the racial war!"

"You got 500 points just for bombing a lionman camp, and yesterday you wiped out 14 races. No wonder you got so many rewards!"

With the number of transfers (within a five-kilometer radius) increased to 15, and after deducting the villagers of Hope Village and the reward for dealing with the remaining two lionmen, it can be precisely calculated that last night's battle wiped out a full fourteen complete races! Even though Su Mo is becoming increasingly taciturn, he was still incredibly excited upon seeing this achievement.

This feeling is like going to a lottery shop to buy scratch-off tickets. You think you'll be lucky if you win a few dozen or a hundred dollars, but unexpectedly, you end up winning half a million!

Who could withstand this!

"Upgrading to Tier 5 Shelter requires 10,000 points, and replicating the paint for the entire ship requires 3,800 points. After spending all of that, I'll still have 4,400 points left, so there's absolutely nothing to worry about!"

After some calculations, realizing that he had enough funds, Su Mo raised an eyebrow and moved the Liquid Replicator to the periphery to begin manufacturing.

This war has indeed brought too many surprises.

Su Mo was content with this gain on the way to pick up his sister! If he could find a ruin to enter during the next ten days of travel...

Even if you realize something is wrong after entering, you can still meet all the requirements to upgrade your Tier 5 Shelter.

At that time, all the tasks planned before setting sail will be completed!
