Enjoying Resources Alone!

After carefully reading the announcement board, Li Ye led Old Zhou and the others towards the center of Spore Town.

It took a few minutes before the Spo re Town administrator appeared.

It was a tall, red mushroom person dressed in formal attire, walking with an elegant gait, a quill tucked into its chest.

"Welcome to Spore Town, human. I hope you can make outstanding contributions to Spore Town," it said. "Of course, I won't treat you unfairly either."

As it spoke, it displayed the resources available for exchange in Spore Town.

Upon seeing the list of available items, everyone present was stunned.

[Level 1 Crop - Sun Apple Tree Seed: 1000 Contribution Points, Purchase Limit: 1]

[Level 1 City Component - Mushroom Wheel Blueprint: 700 Contribution Points, Purchase Limit: 1]

[Level 1 Rocket Launcher Blueprint: 800 Contribution Points, Purchase Limit: 1]

[Level 1 City Component - Spore Armor Blueprint: 900 Contribution Points, Purchase Limit: 1]

[Level 1 City Component - Mycelium Track Blueprint: 500 Contribution Points, Purchase Limit: 1]

[Level 1 Firearm - Spore Submachine Gun: 600 Contribution Points, Purchase Limit: 1]

[Level 1 Frost Ore: 10 Contribution Points per unit, Purchase Limit: 450]

[Level 1 Frost Crystal: 2000 Contribution Points, Purchase Limit: 1]

[Level 2 City Component - Repair Mech Arm: 8000 Contribution Points, Purchase Limit: 1]

In addition to these, the administrator also sold blueprints for ordinary items such as electric fans, motorcycles, and sweeping robots, with prices ranging from 50 to 200 points. There were also food and drinks like spore cookies, mushroom stew, and the special Spore Town honey mead.

Resources like Iron Ore, Coal, and Fuel were also available for sale, priced between 1-5 Contribution Points per unit, with a purchase limit of 1000.

Li Ye stared intently at the items displayed before him.

Spore Armor, Mushroom Wheels, and the Level 1 Rocket Launcher – these were all incredibly valuable items!

What surprised him was the presence of Frost Ore and Frost Crystal, resources he desperately needed to build a Frost Cannon!

What he found most unbelievable was that there was even a Level 2 item on the list!

The Level 2 City Component - Repair Mech Arm. This city component could fully automate the maintenance of a mobile city and provide an additional 15% kinetic energy, consuming only Iron Ore for repairs. Having it would be equivalent to possessing a professional mechanic team.

It wasn't a blueprint, but a finished product – meaning lords wouldn't have to go through the trouble of gathering resources to build it. As long as they could accumulate enough Contribution Points to exchange for it, they could use it immediately!

Even so, he couldn't help but frown as he continued to look.

For a Level 1 city, the most useful Level 2 items would be heavy machine guns, artillery, city armor, or Level 2 vehicles.

While the Repair Mech Arm was good, it ultimately fell a bit short.

The Mushroom Person administrator then presented a Delegation Badge to Li Ye. The badge would automatically calculate contribution points whenever Li Ye and his team killed Ant People or captured strongholds in the wild.

As Li Ye took the Delegation Badge, he glanced back at the other two lords.

He saw both of them staring intently at the Level 2 Mech Arm, clearly desiring it.

After a moment of thought, Li Ye made his decision.

Instead of exhausting himself competing with the other two rivals to scrape together 8000 points for the Level 2 Mech Arm, it would be better to prioritize obtaining resources to build the Level 1 Artillery, and also exchange for the Level 1 Crop, Level 1 Spore Armor, and the Level 1 Rocket Launcher.

After all, the Level 1 Artillery would provide such a significant boost to the mobile city!

The highest priority for exchange was still that Frost Crystal – after all, Frost Ore veins might not always be accompanied by crystals.

That being said, Li Ye still cast a reluctant glance at the Mech Arm – it was a Level 2 item, a rare find! The more Level 2 items a Level 1 city possessed, the greater its advantage in the wild!

He then initiated an emergency mobilization on the Tomorrow.

Out of the 25 people on the entire mobile city, excluding the two helmsmen, the mechanic Lin Wu and his friend's sister, and the lookout, Li Ye mobilized everyone else, including the wounded.

All the Iron Ore accumulated on the Tomorrow was used by Li Ye to craft bullets and cannonballs, with the Falcon Assault Rifle being the most produced.

Including himself, Li Ye divided the twenty people into three shifts, and they began frantically searching for and hunting Ant People in the Rotting Lands.

Before long, Li Ye spotted a group of Ant People.

They were about the same size as humans, with sharp limbs, towering physiques, and hard carapaces.

At this moment, the group of Ant People were resting around a campfire.

With a wave of Li Ye's hand, a cannonball exploded amidst the Ant People with a sharp whistling sound.

As it was a normal cannonball, its lethality against Level 1 monsters like the Ant People was limited, so they only sustained minor injuries.

However, after a round of Falcon Assault Rifle fire, the Ant People's forms were reduced to dust.

The Tomorrow quickly rolled over their campfire and accelerated forward.

By evening, the Tomorrow returned to Spore Town.

Li Ye, on the watchtower, lowered his gun and tiredly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Since the morning, he had led his team on a frantic sweep of Ant People and their small outposts within a dozen kilometers of Spore Town, working almost non-stop like a spinning top.

As of now, he had accumulated a total of 3080 Contribution Points.

Li Ye immediately exchanged for the Frost Crystal and the Level 1 Rocket Launcher blueprint.

He silently surveyed the Spore Town before him, lost in thought.

With so many good things in Spore Town, Tomorrow alone couldn't consume all the resources. If they could successfully raid it...

That being said, Spore Town's armed forces were not to be underestimated.

The town had a full 500 Mushroom People residents, all starting at Elite level, with some even reaching Elite Captain level. The weapons they carried were all Level 1. Even more deadly, the town was equipped with Level 1 Heavy Machine Guns and Level 1 Artillery.

This clearly indicated that attempting a raid would be disastrous.

Or perhaps... you possessed the strength to raid it.

"Forget it, I'll just stick to accumulating contribution points honestly," Li Ye scratched his head.

A new day dawned.

Li Ye woke up and immediately grabbed the Falcon Assault Rifle he kept by his bed.

Yesterday's haul wasn't much, only 350 points.

There were two main reasons for this.

First, the Ant People and their strongholds within dozens of miles of Spore Town had been swept clean by the three mobile cities. Now, they could only venture deeper into the Rotting Lands, which was more time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Second, there were fewer Ant People appearing at night, and the mobile cities only had searchlights at night, making them difficult to find.

As he got up, Li Ye also brought up the system panel to check.

The system CD had just finished.

[Time until next intelligence refresh: 4 days 23 hours 55 seconds]

[Number of intelligence reports: 7]

Li Ye merely glanced at it before closing it. Currently, he just wanted to kill monsters and clear strongholds to earn contribution points.
