Moreover, this vehicle wasn't a small truck; it was the giant truck that Song Xiaozhu had seen before. Even in its wrecked state, the size of that truck bed was something they couldn't possibly move.
Song Xiaozhu asked curiously, "Why are they even throwing this out... Don't they recycle it inside the Fortress?"
She was mostly talking to herself when Qiu Shuyu replied, " The Fortress... is very crowded."
Song Xiaozhu was stunned for a moment before she realized what she meant. "So even something this 'valuable' was thrown out?"
Qiu Shuyu paused for a moment and said, "I'm not entirely sure either, but the Fortress has long been plagued by overcrowding. In another ten years, this problem will be even more serious, especially for the residents of the lower city... well, a family of four crammed into a house of less than ten square meters."
Ten square meters...
This is even worse than the shacks in the community!
Even so, they will not leave the Fortress.
Even in the lower city, even with extremely harsh living conditions, even if one is as insignificant as an ant... it is still Fortress.
It is Fortress high above in this terrible world.
Song Xiaozhu stared at the scrap metal in front of her, her heart itching with desire. If only she had a welding job, she could live in this garbage dump.
She glanced at the Workbench floating beside her and muttered to herself, "Does the secondary formula contain welding equipment?"
There's definitely no such thing, but it wouldn't hurt to ask.
Prompt: "No."
Song Xiaozhu's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "What about level three?"
The notification sound indicated that the microphone had been muted.
Song Xiaozhu muttered to herself, "What a stingy person."
How can you cut this size of scrap metal without welding equipment?
She definitely couldn't move it onto the Workbench. Even if the Workbench could shrink large items, she still had to be able to move it onto it first. A truck bed like this, which could easily be tens of meters long... forget about it.
Song Xiaozhu blinked, then suddenly had an idea. " Sister Shuyu... could you hollow out the bottom?"
Qiu Shuyu: "Underneath the truck bed?"
Song Xiaozhu: "Yes, we dug out a... um... two-meter square hole." She felt a little guilty after saying that. This hole was not small, and it would take a long time to dig it. But if her idea really worked, such a large piece of iron could be used to synthesize dozens of professional axes!
Qiu Shuyu answered readily, "No problem!"
Song Xiaozhu also picked up her hoe, intending to help her, but after swinging it a few times, she dodged away—she was only making things worse.
At Qiu Shuyu's efficiency, it should only take ten minutes at most.
Song Xiaozhu wasn't idle either; she went to the side to look for other materials and tried to synthesize [crude oil].
Oil truly deserves its title as the king of energy.
It can make so many things, and now these have become materials for synthesizing [crude oil].
In fact, this [ Raw Material ] synthesis function is more like precise purification...
Thinking about it carefully, it's really impressive.
With the [crude oil] recipe.
Many useless items on the Garbage Mountain have found a home.
Song Xiaozhu easily accumulated a set of [Crude Oil]. Knowing what she needed, she wasn't in a hurry to synthesize it. Firstly, there weren't enough slots in the small box, and secondly, there were too many Raw Material; [Crude Oil] was practically everywhere. She could synthesize it when she needed it.
In that time, Qiu Shuyu also dug a huge hole.
Song Xiaozhu sighed repeatedly, "Amazing... absolutely amazing..."
No wonder Qiu Shuyu can take on ten men in a fight, and she's even more capable of doing twenty jobs!
Qiu Shuyu wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Is it okay now?"
Song Xiaozhu: "Sure, sure!"
Without avoiding Qiu Shuyu, she walked directly into the two-meter square power source and summoned the Workbench.
Then she quickly came out and used a hoe to dump some waste material inside.
Qiu Shuyu couldn't help with this because she couldn't see the snow-white Workbench.
Once the Workbench was in the perfect position, Song Xiaozhu breathed a sigh of relief and clicked on the recipe for [ Iron Raw Material ].
Admittedly, Song Xiaozhu couldn't cut the huge truck bed, or even lift it, but she still managed to place a portion of it... well, only about half a meter long, across the Workbench.
To the naked eye, it looks like it's been placed there.
As for whether it works or not, you'll find out by trying it.
A notification sound plays:
"Obtained 3 [ Iron Raw Material ]".
Evaluation: A basic [ Raw Material ]. Effectiveness: None.
Upon hearing the notification sound, Song Xiaozhu almost jumped for joy.
That's really impressive!
Moreover, the fact that it landed three critical hits is enough to prove just how powerful this large piece of scrap metal is.
A deafening roar followed.
Song Xiaozhu was prepared. She pulled Qiu Shuyu back a large step quickly, and they turned their backs together. She covered her mouth and nose with her left hand and Qiu Shuyu's with her right hand.
The truck bed was lying across the garbage heap, with a section suddenly disappearing in the middle, like a cracked arch bridge. It collapsed instantly, and with a rumbling sound, the garbage tilted and filled the large hole in an instant.
Song Xiaozhu had already packed up the Workbench, though she doubted that the commotion would damage it in the slightest.
After a while, Song Xiaozhu finally released Qiu Shuyu, Qiu Shuyu looked somewhat bewildered. "What... happened?"
Song Xiaozhu chuckled, " Sister Shuyu, you're about to get an even better axe!"
Seeing how happy she was, Qiu Shuyu wasn't worried anymore and simply said, "Take care of yourself."
Song Xiaozhu: "Don't worry!"
As she spoke, she leaned against the pile of garbage and summoned her " Workbench." The [ Iron Raw Material ] had already been stored in the small box; those pretty little cubes were incredibly coveted.
Song Xiaozhu took a deep breath and began synthesizing a professional axe.
With at least three pieces of [ Iron Raw Material ], surely we can craft one, right?
Of course, it's okay if it fails; with such a large cargo bed, we can just dig out another section.
She's determined to master this professional axe today!
