Level 4 Resources! A Terrifying Harvest That Makes One's Scalp Tingle! (Two-in-One)

April 3rd marked exactly one week remaining until the 100-day countdown to humanity's arrival in the wasteland.

I wonder what the weather is like in the deep sea.

In the depression, a light drizzle began to fall from two o'clock, pattering against the residents' tents with a reassuring crackling sound.

After being exposed to the scorching sun for several days, large areas of the land have cracked.

At this moment, it also received the nourishment of the rain and began a slow "healing".

Until 5:50 a. m.

The rain not only didn't stop, but it even seemed to be intensifying.

The despairing winter of the New Continent has not yet arrived, but the long rainy season has already come quietly ahead of time.

Although the caves on Iron Stone Mountain are still usable, they can only house a maximum of two or three hundred people.

With the Heavy Snowfall just around the corner, infrastructure work has been put on the table for everyone!

"Get up, everyone! Get up quickly and tidy up the place. We need to dig a trench before nine o'clock!"

"Everyone, wake up, wash up, eat, and then get to work!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Standing halfway up Iron Stone Mountain, banging gongs and beating drums, Chen Shen's voice carried far and wide through the loudspeaker.

Thanks to his thoughtful "wake-up service," the villagers, still asleep, quickly got up one by one.

I took out the washbasin and collected the rainwater.

With the cool rain in hand, all the villagers finished preparing in less than twenty minutes.

Meanwhile, the cooks at Hope Village had also heated up the dry rations they had brought with them.

Steamed buns, pickled vegetables, and thin porridge.

It was a very simple and plain breakfast, but in this apocalypse, it brought a long-lost sense of peace to everyone who lined up to receive it!

"Damn it, how come I never realized that pickled vegetables and white rice porridge tasted so good before? But now that I'm in this apocalypse, it's so delicious that I want to bite my tongue off!"

"Exactly! I'm from the South, and I've never eaten such firm steamed buns before. These two have filled me up completely."

"Hehe, I wonder when I'll be able to have some meat again. My mouth feels so bland, I just want to eat something good."

"Zhuang Shi, your name sounds honest, but you're anything but! Hahaha, there's not a single animal in our territory. Even if you wanted to eat, there'd be nowhere to find it for you."

"Oh my, you know what, look there!"

"Holy crap, you dare to mess with the lizard we caught yesterday? No way, I have to report you now!"

Squatting under the awning, all the villagers chatted idly while eating their breakfast.

Incidentally, one could see over thirty lizards happily Bouncy, enjoying the mixed grain breakfast prepared by the cooks.

Everyone gave each other a malicious look.

In modern society, we are used to eating plenty of meat, eggs, and dairy products.

In addition, many people do not need to do physical labor, so they can suppress their craving for meat.

But in the end times, once prolonged labor is done, the genes in the body are activated.

Even a single shred of meat can send shivers of pleasure through one's scalp.

The feeling of consuming protein and fat is something that vegetables and dry food simply cannot compare to.

"I'm warning you, these lizards are our treasures!"

"If things go well, once our farm reaches a certain scale in a year or two, sharing some of the meat with you won't be a problem."

"Now, you all better watch out! Anyone who dares to covet these treasures will have their food cut off for a year!"

He overheard the villagers' conversation and realized that everyone was just making excuses.

But Chen Shen continued to tap on the rim of his bowl, issuing a warning to everyone.

Last night, after Su Mo interrogated the Dwarf Polly and imprisoned him on Iron Stone Mountain.

Chen Shen wasn't idle either; he joined forces with Shen Ke, Qi Qin, and Zhang Long to conduct a court hearing.

After more than two hours of detailed questioning, the Dwarf Polly answered in a bamboo tube, revealing his answers one by one.

The group obtained a wealth of valuable information! Among it all, the most valuable information was undoubtedly the lizards!

A typical baby lizard only needs 30 days from pregnancy to ovoviviparity! And it only takes 90 days for a baby lizard to grow to adulthood! If handled properly, the number of lizards present can double in four months, exceeding one hundred.

If we wait another four months, the number of these lizards could increase fivefold, easily reaching five hundred.

If they can breed for a year, with a sufficient food supply, the number of lizards in the depression will definitely exceed two thousand.

By then, everyone will have a mount, and there will be extra to use for other things.

In addition, Polly also explained that lizards can manipulate bloodline nodes at specific points, giving rise to various strange abilities.

For these thirty-odd precious animals, Chen Shen got up early in the morning and specially instructed the cook to prepare their favorite food.

His warning made the villagers shrink back and remain silent.

Work officially began at 6:40 a. m.

The Hope needs a suitable place to be placed, but there are no materials available, and a suitable frame cannot be set up in the village for the time being.

It wouldn't be difficult to dig a trench around the Hope to keep it from sinking.

Looking at the Underground Shelter that was still lying low on the ground with its doors tightly shut, everyone mustered their strength and swung their shovels with all their might.

But what they didn't know was...

Su Mo, who was on the third floor of the Underground Shelter, also got up very early.

6:30.

Listening to the sound of rain coming from the second-floor ventilation window, Su Mo sat up with renewed energy.

I only slept for six hours.

But the sense of security I felt back in the Underground Shelter kept Su Mo in a deep sleep almost the entire time, and I was extremely satisfied.

And the thought of gaining access to twelve different resources in this low-lying area today is truly inspiring.

And finally, a system that allows you to acquire Survival Points and has a brand new way to Territory Upgrade.

Su Mo was so excited that he immediately got up and clenched his fists on the ground to release his excitement.

"I hope this Territory Upgrade goes as I envision; otherwise, even if the low-lying area possesses twelve resources, it will still be difficult to catch up with the territories of other alien races."

"It will take a lot of effort!"

Use the clear, sweet water to wash the pots and pans.

After passing through the passage on the second floor and arriving at the storage room that had been sealed off for a long time, Su Mo took out a batch of supplies.

For the first time in a long time, Su Mo prepared breakfast for himself in the Underground Shelter.

Steam rises.

An hour later, when the fragrant aroma woke up Su Chan, who was still sleeping, Su Mo laughed heartily and lifted the pot lid.

"Go wash up quickly once you're awake. The beef soup will be ready soon. Have a bowl of chewy beef noodles and you'll be full all day!"

The meat was top-quality beef obtained from a treasure chest.

The soup is Second Generation Psionic Water with a rich base flavor and a naturally sweet taste.

The noodles are hand-pulled, incredibly chewy, and feature thirty-two folds.

Add some appetizing chili Chili Powder, tender white radish, and a touch of cilantro for a clever garnish.

When Su Mo served out five bowls, Moore, who stood to the side like a statue, was already drooling all over the place.

Picking up his own portion, Moore didn't care that it was hot and immediately slurped down a big mouthful of soup.

"Fragrant"

"It smells so good!"

Taking another sip, chewing on the noodles and beef inside, Moore's eyes welled up with tears of excitement.

For a moment, Su Mo's appetite was whetted.

"Come on, try my cooking!"

"Absolutely brilliant!"

The beef noodles with added Psionic Water have completely changed the flavor of the original beef noodles.

Thanks to the enhancement, the spiciness of the chili peppers, the freshness of the beef broth, and the flavor of the cilantro have all been multiplied.

Every sensation is a massage for the taste buds.

Every bite is an unparalleled pleasure.

A whole pot of beef soup, enough noodles for ten people.

In less than half an hour, the two adults and four children devoured them completely.

Seeing that the clock in the living room had already pointed to 7:50, Su Mo put down his chopsticks and bowl, suppressing his temper.

"Moore, I'll leave the washing of the pots to you. I'm going to get back to work!"

"Okay!"

Scraping the last bit of broth from the pot into his own bowl, Moore was 100% satisfied with the task Su Mo had given him.

With a smile, Su Mo looked at Su Chan, who was still happily slurping the noodles in her bowl at the dining table, and strode up the steps.

Use the Psionic Water collected yesterday.

The diesel fuel collected yesterday was put into oil drums.

By the time Su Mo finished all his "daily tasks," opened the door of the shelter, and came out into the outside world, the clock had just struck eight.

Buzz!

An invisible ripple flashed, and the long-lost System Panel reappeared.

In the upper left corner of the panel, Su Mo immediately noticed the long-lost daily newspaper! And this time, the color of the daily newspaper was neither the white of the ordinary daily newspaper nor the light gold of the superimposed daily newspaper.

Instead, it was an unprecedented pure gold!

Like a dazzling light, just one glance at this color made Su Mo so excited that he immediately wanted to go out and run a few laps.

"If you count it up, the accumulated time since the last time has exceeded twenty days."

"At a rate of 1,000 points per day, you can accumulate 20,000 points in 20 days!"

Holding up a black umbrella, Su Mo slowly walked out into the rain.

In the distance, the villagers spotted Su Mo immediately and cheered.

Chen Shen, who had been waiting at the door, came up to greet them, "Chief, you're here! The trench for the Hope will be dug soon, and we can start placing it at nine o'clock!"

"Good, well done, that's the kind of efficiency we need."

After taking the design drawings from Chen Shen and glancing at the specific design of the trench, Su Mo nodded in satisfaction.

With professional staff on board, he no longer needs to do these small things himself.

However, after remembering the changes that were about to happen, Su Mo paused for a moment and then added, "By the way, tell the villagers to get ready and wait for our surprise!"

"Huh? A surprise?"

"You don't really intend to develop slowly in this impoverished and backward place, do you?"

Patting Chen Shen on the shoulder, Su Mo saw the latter's expression of instant understanding but disbelief, laughed heartily, lifted his leg, and headed towards Iron Stone Mountain.

In the eyes of others, he was like a hermit sage.

Su Mo's steps were not only steady but also very fast. In less than three minutes, he disappeared on the mountain path of Iron Stone Mountain.

Ten minutes later, the first muffled thud, accompanied by Chen Shen's impassioned explanation, began to resound in the depression.

The 1,405 villagers were shocked!

It was as if heaven and earth had been opened anew, or as if a dragon from the earth was surging forth.

The cracked earth seemed to gain a new luster in that instant.

In everyone's view, the land centered around the Underground Shelter suddenly began to change.

The crack disappeared.

The dried yellow substance had completely disappeared.

As if this land had never been affected by the sea, in just a few breaths, the land returned to its normal state as a wasteland.

And in a very short time, the color deepened even more, making it clear that its fertility was extraordinary.

"Has the low-lying area recovered?"

As soon as the first villager had this thought, a second thunderous roar immediately followed.

A towering mountain, no less than Iron Stone Mountain, appeared at the edge of the earth in less than ten seconds.

Even on a cloudy day, people could still vaguely see the mountain.

There were plenty of green plants, with touches of red scattered among them.

For a desolate land that was nothing but scorched yellow and black, this little bit of color was like a sweet spring.

In an instant, the entire land was no longer so dark, and it regained some vitality.

But just like the first time everyone was surprised, before anyone could even express their shock at the mountain...

The third, the fourth, the fifth boom—the rumbling sounds rose again! Like a barrage of cannon fire, the earth seemed to crack open under the enormous noise, shaking the mountains and the ground.

Even on Iron Stone Mountain, streaks of iron filings continuously detach from the cliff face.

But at this moment, Su Mo, standing on the mountaintop, seemed to be rooted to the spot, remaining completely still.

And, like the villagers below, Su Mo's face was filled with boundless joy!

[Record]: Congratulations to player Su Mo for successfully activating the Level 1 Random Resource Generation Card, obtaining: Fertile Land (5 mu) *1 [Record]: Congratulations to player Su Mo for successfully activating the Level 2 Random Resource Generation Card, obtaining: Fruit Tree Mountain (40 meters) *1 [Record]: Congratulations to player Sumo for having twelve resource cards. Without any hesitation, Su Mo took them out of his Storage Space and activated them all.

There are a total of eight Level 1 cards, three Level 2 cards, and one Level 4 card.

The sheer scale of its opening was enough to shock everyone in this land.

Fortunately, this curtain of rain became a natural shelter.

Even if outsiders are curious, they cannot see what changes have taken place inside the depression.

We waited until the last Level 4 Resource generation card took effect.

Ignoring the puddles still underfoot, Su Mo immediately sat down cross-legged and opened the Game Panel to tally his spoils.

Land Resources (Fertile Land) - Level 1

[Tree Resources (Oil Pine) - Level ①]

[Tree Resources (Scots Pine) - Level ①]

[Mineral Resources (Copper Mine) - Grade ①]

Water Resources (Freshwater Lake) - Level ①

[Vegetation resources (Lush Green Grass) - Level ①]

[Animal Resources (Yak) - Level 1]

[Animal Resources (Sheep) - Level 1]

[Land Resources (Fruit Tree Mountain) - Level ②]

[Food Resource (Carp) - Level 2]

[Mineral Resources (Hot Stone Mine) - Level ②]

[Mineral resources (High-Quality Tungsten Mine) - Level 4]

Wow! After reading it from beginning to end and realizing that each item was very useful, Su Mo couldn't help but chuckle to himself with delight.

It has achieved the current results.

First, the low-lying areas were so poor that even five acres of green grassland were extremely rare and high-quality resources.

Secondly, the low-lying areas have sufficient manpower, and each of these resources can be quickly put into practical use.

After reclassifying all resources according to their rarity and usefulness rankings provided by the game, Su Mo carefully examined the top few resources.

[Mineral resources (High-Quality Tungsten Mine) - Level 4]

[Vein Status]: Complete, has not been mined yet, in its prime.

[Mining Value]: Four stars (Peak: Four stars)

[Special Ability]: Superior (The purity of mined tungsten ore will be further improved)

[Mining Difficulty]: High to Extremely High [Remaining Reserves]: Four Million Tons "Wow, the reserves are actually four million tons! My God!"

The tungsten ore that Su Mo obtained from the Ocean God Trial, using a bug-based Level 4 Resource, was a huge surprise from the very beginning.

You should know that in civilized times, a ton of tungsten ore could fetch as much as 60,000 yuan!

Anyone with even a slight understanding of steel and military affairs knows the importance of tungsten.

Heavy-point projectiles, traditional armor-piercing projectiles, cutting tools used on lathes, metal cutting blades, drill bits, superhard molds, wire drawing dies, etc., are all made of tungsten! If steel is like the meat we eat, then tungsten is like a kitchen knife and cooking utensils; without it, it's hard to eat anything.

As the world's hardest metal, this substance has reserves of four million tons, which directly means that Hope Village's future development in the metal industry will be smooth sailing! "We were originally worried about what to do with the cutting edges on the machine tools, but now that we have this tungsten ore, even though mining it is very difficult, we can find a way to produce some for emergencies."

"As expected of Level 4 Resource card!"

After letting out a long sigh of relief and turning it off, Su Mo looked at the remaining items worth paying attention to.
