Chapter 82: Trade Complete, the RV Upgrades!
"Yahoo! I won!!"
As Liu Yuqing's excited voice rang out, the transaction on the Leader Tablet was also complete.
The Global Trade Convention, for Jiang Nan's squad, had drawn to a perfect close.
Hum!!
Accompanied by the ripple of spatial transfer, a small mountain instantly piled up on what had been an empty sports ground!
"Oh my god…"
Yu Shishi covered her mouth, staring at the scene before her in shock.
"Yuqing…"
"Did you empty out someone's entire warehouse?"
"This stuff is piling into a mountain!"
Beside her, Hoshino Hikari also walked forward, her mouth gaping wide open.
On the sports ground, countless military crates were stacked in neat, orderly rows.
Food crates, and various expensive pieces of furniture wrapped in dustproof covers.
Even Jiang Nan, who had seen his share of grand spectacles, couldn't help the corner of his eye twitching slightly at the sight.
He walked to Liu Yuqing's side and pulled out the Notepad.
【Who did you buy all this from?】
【Can the hard drive really be exchanged for this much?】
Liu Yuqing pushed up her glasses, her face written all over with pride.
"Boss! All of this was sold to us by the Huaxia Nation's Second Base!"
"That's the military's official base—their need for maps is at a strategic level."
"I contacted a lot of parties, then packaged and sold all the hard drives to them at the end!"
"Their offer was the highest, and they were extremely straightforward about it!"
Liu Yuqing pointed at the pile of supplies and reported the results.
"A total of 200 fully-equipped QBZ-191 assault rifles! Plus 20,000 rounds of general-purpose ammunition!"
‘QBZ-191’
"100 crates of military Compressed Crackers and instant noodles in different flavors!"
‘Crackers and instant noodles’
"100 crates of purified drinking water!"
‘Purified drinking water’
"And various expensive furniture and household goods collected from abandoned luxury residences!"
After that.
Liu Yuqing's expression turned serious, and she produced a silver-white metal briefcase from within her jacket.
"Boss, compared to everything out there, this…is actually the most precious of all."
Click.
The case opened.
A puff of white mist rose out.
Nestled in the shockproof foam, 8 sets of syringes quietly lay, each emanating a faint blue glow.
3 syringes per set, labeled with D, C, and B respectively.
"These are the Full-Set Gene Enhancement Serums."
Liu Yuqing introduced them.
"They were produced at the Huaxia Central Base Research Institute."
"They told me the injections must be administered by tier in order—otherwise there will be a risk of body detonation."
"I've already used【Appraisal】in advance to appraise them—quality grade across the board is A-Grade."
"While they don't carry additional attribute bonuses like S-Grade ones, they make up for it with exceptional stability!"
"No side effects whatsoever. After injection, evolution is completed simply through sleep."
As she spoke, she handed over the Leader Tablet along with the supply manifest.
"This is the complete item list. Please review it."
Jiang Nan took the tablet and nodded with satisfaction.
He recalled the S-Grade D-Grade Enhancement Serum he had used before.
The effect had been a direct upgrade of his physique to D+, entirely without any pain.
These A-Grade serums might lack the "+" bonus.
But being completely side-effect-free, in this world, was already a Hard Currency no amount of money could buy.
Swish, swish, swish.
Jiang Nan tore off a note.
【Well done.】
【Wait until Wang Meng finishes the vehicle before distributing the serums to everyone.】
"Understood!"
Liu Yuqing nodded in agreement, then conscientiously called out to the others to help sort through the mountain of supplies.
……
Jiang Nan leaned against the vehicle on his own, scrolling through the tablet in his hand to review the temporary trade panel.
The interface design was quite simple—after all, it was a product hastily thrown together by the Sky Screen.
It resembled a large chat room: region on the left, base name on the right.
The trading method was also straightforward.
Only 1 option: barter.
Jiang Nan flipped through the backend records.
【Canglan Continent·Huaxia Nation's Second Base】:
"Thank you for your patronage—please consider us first in future trades. Price is not an issue." (Trade Complete)
Aside from the 【Canglan Continent·Huaxia Nation's Second Base】, there was a large cluster of red dot notifications.
【Tropical Rainforest·Eagle Nation's Fifth Base】:
"Hey! Friend! We want that map! We can trade the latest exoskeleton armor for it!" (Rejected)
【Twilight Forest·Su Nation's Tenth Base】:
"Comrade! Vodka and heavy machine guns! Deal or no deal?" (Rejected)
【Canglan Continent·Sakura Nation's First Base】:
"Sumimasen…" (Directly Blocked)
Most of the applications had not been approved by Liu Yuqing.
Some of them she had probed for their lowest price, then turned around and deleted them as friends.
That move could only be described as ruthless.
After making comparisons, Jiang Nan formed a clear understanding of the current pricing system in his mind.
Tier 1 (Hard Currency): Enhancement Serums.
Tier 2 (Survival Necessities): High-calorie food, clean water.
Tier 3 (Standard Combat Power): Firearms and weapons.
Tier 4 (Luxury): Furniture, alcohol, tobacco, and luxury goods.
'Makes sense.'
Jiang Nan thought to himself.
'Purely in terms of abilities, powerful Extraordinary Ones don't fear so-called firepower output at all.'
'With me here, high-end combat is almost nothing to worry about.'
'Firearms are mainly for sweeping low-tier monsters and self-defense—perfectly suited for logistics personnel once the Shelter expands in the future.'
'Liu Yuqing is a capable merchant after all. She knows what we need.'
These supplies were more than enough for them to live a lavish life in this cursed place for well over half a year.
……
And just at that moment.
"Boss!! Boss, come quick!!"
Wang Meng's excited shout rang out from the distance.
"The new RV is basically finished!!"
"Just the interior is left! Come take a look!!"
Jiang Nan put away the tablet and walked over.
However.
When he rounded that mountain of supplies and caught sight of the colossal thing before him.
Even with some mental preparation, his pupils still constricted slightly.
"This…"
This thing…
Could no longer be called an "RV."
This was clearly a mobile steel fortress!
By rough estimate, the vehicle's length reached at least 35 meters, and its width was a staggering 10 meters!
Even more outrageous than the longest RV in the Guinness Records back on Blue Star!
The entire vehicle was coated in heavy black steel armor!
Upgraded RV
"Boss! What do you think?!"
Wang Meng straightened his chest and planted both hands on his hips.
"This is all thanks to the 【Black Dragon No. 3 Power Core you gave me!】"
"Without it, there's absolutely no way to achieve this scale! The power system alone would drain a fuel tank dry!"
"After solving that massive problem of energy, everything else became a minor issue!"
Wang Meng patted the heavy chassis of the vehicle.
"My Grade B Mechanic ability successfully solved the structural integrity problem that was completely unsolvable back on Blue Star!"
"Don't let the size fool you! This vehicle will never be slower than those small trucks!"
"Watch this!"
Wang Meng snapped his fingers and began a demonstration using the remote control in his hand.
Clank, clank, clank!
The enormous tires simultaneously rotated 90 degrees!
Not only could it move sideways, it could even execute a full 360-degree tank turnaround on the spot!
"As long as the road is wide enough, we can drift!"
Jiang Nan nodded with satisfaction.
This was exactly the post-apocalyptic ride he had envisioned.
【Well done—start on the interior right away.】
【All the furniture is over there. Don't waste time.】
"Yes, sir!!"
Wang Meng rubbed his hands together in excitement and charged toward the mountain of furniture.
The next half hour belonged to the Mechanic's time to shine.
Wang Meng activated his ability, and countless metal components and furniture flew automatically into the interior of the vehicle.
No screwdrivers needed. No hauling required.
Everything was as simple and swift as placing blocks in a game!
Clang, clang, clang!
About half an hour later.
As the last genuine leather sofa clicked into place.
The Mobile Shelter was fully upgraded at last!
Jiang Nan picked up the Leader Tablet and reviewed the attribute panel of this brand-new vehicle.
