Ants Moving House

For a moment, Li Ye could not bring himself to look away.

High defense, amphibious capabilities, self-healing, and even built-in weapons.

This Level 2 Vehicle was simply amazing!

Most importantly, it was a finished product. Once exchanged, it could be used immediately.

If it were a blueprint, Tomorrow would not be able to build it anytime soon.

"Whatever it takes, I have to exchange for this Level 2 Item!" Li Ye thought to himself. Come to think of it, this information really is excellent.

In a battle against an enemy Mobile City, this Storm IFV would undoubtedly play an unimaginable role.

It could be deployed as a vital combat asset. Its high defense would allow it to charge through enemy machine-gun fire and artillery shells, while its amphibious capabilities would make it more flexible in battle.

Then he looked reluctantly at the Level 1 Items.

As expected of a neutral Wild BOSS, the Level 1 Items it offered were far more valuable than those from the neutral merchant caravans and monster towns.

The Level 1 defensive structure Goblin Fortress required only 100 units of Iron Ore. A sturdy fortress could be built nearby with a Mechanical Arm, complete with Heavy Machine Guns and cannons for defense. When a Mobile City needed to defend a location and fight a positional battle, this would be extremely useful.

The Level 1 firearm Goblin Bandit Machine Gun was forged from 60 units of Iron Ore. Its firepower was astonishing when mowing down Zombie Tides and monsters—but compared to a Heavy Machine Gun, it was still slightly inferior.

There was no need to mention the Level 1 City Wind Sail and the Level 1 Steam Ballista. This time, it had even provided the blueprint for Level 1 Artillery.

As for Level 1 Alloy and Level 1 Vein Crystal, those were exactly what Li Ye wanted.

Though he was tempted, Li Ye could not help sighing.

These things were valuable, but they were also extremely expensive.

The Storm IFV in particular required a full 28,000 contribution points.

Sir Henry even reminded him with a smile that the event would only remain open for three days.

Li Ye felt a headache coming on.

Back in Spore Town, he had worked himself to the bone for three days and had only managed to save up eight or nine thousand contribution points. How could he possibly gather 28,000?

"Sigh. If I can't gather enough, then I'll exchange for as much Level 1 Alloy as possible," he said with a sigh.

After all, Level 1 Alloy was a material required to advance to a Level 2 City.

As he left, Li Ye cast a worried glance at the Wild BOSS.

Without a doubt, other people would soon discover this Wild BOSS as well and frantically collect Goblin Coins and Artwork.

But Sir Henry had opened the Storm IFV project exclusively to him, so he had no competitors.

Even so, the pressure on Li Ye was immense, because he needed to gather 28,000 contribution points within three days.

The situation in the City Ruins was extremely complicated. There were not only Goblin forces and the Predator City Alliance, but also many lone-wolf Mobile Cities, survivor convoys, bounty hunters, and communities.

There were too many wolves and too little meat. The competition would become brutally intense. Everyone would fight tooth and nail to collect coins, and bloody battles might even break out.

Li Ye did not dare hope that he could exchange for one or two other items. He could only proceed with the mindset that whatever he managed to obtain was better than nothing.

After returning to Tomorrow, Li Ye immediately summoned everyone.

Aside from the helmsmen and lookouts, he mobilized everyone else to search the City Ruins for Goblin Coins and valuable Artwork.

With the arrival of Sir Henry, the Wild BOSS, a large number of Goblin Coins had been scattered throughout the city.

These coins were about the same size as human currency, except that the image stamped on the front was a Goblin wearing a top hat and smiling to reveal a mouthful of large white teeth.

As for valuable Artwork, it included such things as famous paintings and calligraphy, antiques, and collectibles. Nobody in the apocalypse paid any attention to such things, much less went out of their way to collect them.

But now, they had instead become extraordinarily valuable.

Li Ye sent out everyone he had managed to gather, having them pick up Goblin Coins from the streets and alleys nearby.

Convoy One and Convoy Two were dispatched into the city to search for buildings such as museums and galleries, in the hope of finding valuable Artwork.

An hour later, Li Ye took stock of their current haul.

There were a fair number of Goblin Coins scattered throughout the city. They could basically find one or two every few minutes of walking. If they were lucky, they could even find a Goblin Coin Pouch, which yielded five to ten Goblin Coins when opened.

So far, Li Ye had obtained a total of 58 Goblin Coins. As for Convoy One and Convoy Two, they had found a rust-covered knight's helmet in a wealthy villa.

One of the members had ridden a motorcycle to bring it to Sir Henry, exchanging it for 50 Goblin Coins.

Li Ye could not help slightly furrowing his brows.

Assuming they picked up fifty or sixty Goblin Coins per hour and reliably found one piece of Artwork, getting 100 Goblin Coins in an hour would already be considered excellent.

If he divided his people into three shifts working around the clock, then after three days they could collect at most 7,200 Goblin Coins.

And that was only if they could consistently find one piece of Artwork every hour. In reality, he would obtain even fewer Goblin Coins.

What made his mood worse was that, according to the information gathered by Convoy One and Convoy Two, quite a few people in the city had already discovered Sir Henry, and the news was gradually spreading.

According to the convoy members, the convoys, Mobile Cities, and bounty hunters they had seen along the way had all begun frantically searching for coins and Artwork.

Li Ye's expression grew solemn.

On closer consideration, the competitor with the greatest advantage was undoubtedly the "Tarot" Predator City Alliance.

They had seven Predator Cities here, along with abundant manpower and supplies. They could search for coins at will, attack Goblin strongholds, and wipe out Goblin Mobile Cities and fortresses.

Most of the good things Sir Henry was selling would be snatched up by them.

Three hours later.

Li Ye gloomily counted the Goblin Coins they had collected.

There were only 143.

Their luck had also been terrible during that time. They had not found a single piece of Artwork.

In addition, Convoy Two, which had gone out searching, had brought back some news.

The Goblin fortress standing in the city had fallen, and the Goblin Mobile City had also been destroyed.

"That must have been the work of the Tarot Alliance," Li Ye said.

For the united Predator City Alliance, something like this was incredibly easy.

Not only could they obtain resources such as Iron Ore, coal, and fuel from the fortress and Mobile City, but they would also receive a total reward of 4,000 contribution points—enough to exchange for two or three Level 1 Items.

On top of that, killing the Goblins, fortresses, machine-gun positions, and artillery emplacements during the battle would earn them another huge sum of contribution points.

Just as Li Ye was sighing helplessly at the impossible task before him, a voice sounded behind him.

"Perhaps we have a chance of gathering 28,000 contribution points."

Li Ye turned around and saw that it was Lin Wu.

"It looks like you already have an idea. Why don't you tell me about it?" He raised an eyebrow.

Lin Wu reached up and adjusted his glasses before speaking softly.

"The method I thought of is ants moving house."
