Chapter 227: Script! I Will Cover All Of It!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“F*ck… Almighty Su is purchasing more than 30 machinery design blueprints. Did he f*cking open a military tank and weapons factory?”

“Did he play too much Command & Conquer? Did he play too much Command & Conquer?”

“Shut your mouth and immediately give me a free transaction after I finish counting down. 32 design drawings…40 seconds!”

“Does Almighty Su’s house need a stone lion? I can be one!”

“Is Almighty Su is going to rebuild the cornerstone of human civilization? With so much machinery and equipment, as long as he has enough manpower and materials, would it not be a problem for him to build a large shelter that can accommodate tens of thousands of people?”

“Knowledge is power. Now I hate the fact that I only know the design blueprints for a forklift. Are there any brothers out there who want to compile our blueprints and trade?”

“I know the design blueprints for a mixer truck. Hurry up, let’s join together to close a deal. If we’re late someone else might end up getting the deal, and we’ll be left without a single cent.”

“Am I the only one wondering if Almighty Su’s technology tree has improved again? He’s advancing back into the era of semi-automatic machinery!”

…

One stone would stir up a thousand waves, and one word would create a thousand discussions!

Seeing the sudden change in direction of the discussion on the World Channel, and countless people who were beginning to group together to compile their design blueprints, Su Mo closed the chat channel in satisfaction.

Knowledge is power. This phrase had profound meaning even in the Doomsday Wasteland.

Without the ability to engrave memories like the foreign races, the knowledge buried in the minds of every craftsman was the most precious treasure.

The knowledge that had been developed by the advancement of science and technology over hundreds of years would greatly increase the rate at which the shelter developed once it could be applied.

However… Glancing at the notifications popping up on his friends list that numbered in the hundreds, Su Mo shook his head and placed his attention on the friends list.

When playing games with popular streamers, people often liked to send emails or add them as friends in order to join in on their streams.

Now it seemed that the human beings in the wasteland had become “rich”. It only took a few points for them to add Su Mo as a friend, which was well within their affordability range.

As long as they were accepted as a “friend” by Su Mo, they would gain bragging rights among the people around them. In a sense, it was still a kind of honor.

Having other means in his mind, Su Mo watched the red dot pop up on the panel after waiting for more than half an hour. His mouth curled up in satisfaction.

The reason he set the threshold requirement of six blueprint designs was to not only accumulate blueprint designs, but also in anticipation of this moment.

Seeing Shen Ke’s profile picture vibrating in his friends list, Su Mo tapped on the chat panel.

[Shen Ke: Almighty Su, we have collected six blueprint designs here, while other blueprint designs are still being collected. May I know if you have managed to obtain the blueprint designs that you were looking for?]

[Shen Ke: Almighty Su, we now have seven blueprints. What is the highest bid now?]

Just by looking at the text, Su Mo could “see” Shen Ke’s anxious expression behind the game interface.

Su Mo had countless good things in his hands and everyone knew that.

With the population numbering billions of people, it would be difficult for them to get ahead, even if there was an information exchange channel set up between the official shelters.

In half an hour, the Tundra Shelter had, from scratch, collected seven blueprint designs. Considering the series of steps they had to take, such as finding people, drawing the blueprints, collecting, compiling, transferring, and so on, the feat was truly not an easy one to achieve.

“Hehe, the prey has taken the bait.”

“A certain amount of intelligence is required in order to save the country without leaving any traces!”

The plan was still proceeding smoothly. Looking at the keywords that he had written down on the paper in front of him as he waited earlier, Su Mo cleared his throat and chose to make a video call.

From ancient times to the present, when it comes to closing deals, both parties have always chosen to go through the trouble of meeting up to discuss the details of the business deal.

This tradition had been passed down to this day, and people gradually understood why the ancients did it.

When the phone was connected and Shen Ke’s familiar face appeared on the opposite side, Su Mo’s face unconsciously twitched.

Su Mo’s self-control was tested when he saw Su Chan’s figure appearing in the corner of the video behind Shen Ke. It was inevitable that he would be shocked.

‘My goodness, this little lass has made her way into the ranks of the opponent’s internal division in just a few days!’

Seeing Su Chan leaving the room in a lively and clever manner, Su Mo was slightly relieved.

Seeing her behavior, it seemed that Tundra Shelter still did not know Su Chan’s identity, but Su Chan just happened to be working with Shen Ke at the time.

She had not been caught to intimidate Su Mo.

Shen Ke also noticed Su Mo’s strange reaction.

However, Shen Ke did not know that it was because he saw Su Chan. Instead, she thought that Su Mo was still checking out the quotes he received from other people on his friends list and started talking hurriedly.

“Almighty Su, we have currently collected seven kinds of blueprint designs, and the rest will be ready soon. We can reach an oral agreement first. When the time comes, I will use Tundra Shelter’s credibility to guarantee the transaction. Once the remaining blueprint designs are found, we can provide them to you free of charge!”

Generous!

The person in charge of Tundra Shelter was not an ordinary person. Their strategic thinking was on point!

This was the point that Su Mo instantly thought about after hearing the meaning conveyed by Shen Ke’s words.

As long as they obtained the trading opportunity, even if the things that followed were not profitable for the Tundra Shelter, trading this “useless” knowledge for materials would still be a big profit for them!

However…

“What are these seven kinds of blueprints? I still have to make a judgment call here, I believe you can understand my situation too.”

Su Mo did not show an eager expression. From an angle that Shen Ke could not see, Su Mo’s fist under the workbench was held tight, as he tried to control his expression from undergoing any obvious changes.

“Of course, of course.”

Shen Ke nodded repeatedly. She lined up the paper on the table and began to slowly present the blueprint designs that the Tundra Shelter had already obtained.

“Because the welfare disaster is about to occur, the first blueprints we collected are the combine harvester, flour grinder, and rotary tiller. The blueprint designs have already been marked with the size of each component in detail. As long as you have some sort of machinery assembly line, it would not be difficult to produce these three things.”

“The remaining four design blueprints are sprinklers for watering, a road roller for repairing roads, a simple forklift, and a harvester!”

After presenting the mechanical blueprint designs currently possessed by Tundra Shelter one by one, Shen Ke raised her head and looked at Su Mo nervously.

Shen Ke had not seen him in a long time. Seeing him now, Su Mo’s image in her heart seemed to have donned an unknown majestic aura that he had not had previously.

Every word he spoke indicated that he was becoming more and more like a figure of authority, who was indifferent to his emotions and anger. Even so, he possessed a greater spirit compared to other figures of authority.

Fortunately, after seeing Su Mo nod in satisfaction the next second, Shen Ke took a long breath of relief. Her tensed body also relaxed.

“Is Almighty Su satisfied with these blueprint designs?”

“Very satisfied. These are the blueprints that I require at this stage. I agree to this deal!”

After confirming the details of the transaction between the two parties, Su Mo stopped beating around the bush and directly threw in the “deal” chip.

“Are you able to make the calls on the details of this transaction? If not, you can ask someone above you to come over!”

Once they got to the topic of trading goods, looking at Su Mo’s serious expression, Shen Ke nodded. She got up and walked out quickly.

Following Shen Ke’s camera perspective, Su Mo also vaguely observed the conditions within the Tundra Shelter at this moment.

It seemed the situation of the Tundra Shelter had finally improved significantly.

Kerosene lamps were sparsely distributed in several dark places within the shelter, making the Tundra Shelter appear more like a small village.

In the small village, because it was only eight o’clock, there were still many people sitting outside, enjoying the cool weather.

From the faces of these refugees, Su Mo saw the same look he had seen on the faces of the refugees from the Candlelight Shelter.

Hope.

Longing for the future.

The desire to live!

Looking carefully, Shen Ke kept walking and passed through a few small wooden houses to the largest wooden house in the center.

In the dark, this wooden house was the only shelter where a kerosene lamp had been lit indoors.

As she pushed open the door, he saw that the man sitting inside was no stranger to him. He was an “old acquaintance” whom he had met a few times in the past.

“Hello, Mr. Su Mo. I am Lu Yongyi, the current leader of the Tundra Shelter.”

“It’s a great honor for the Tundra Shelter to reach a deal with you again.”

After driving off the old beasts like Ying Tianlong, the middle-aged Lu Yongyi seemed to be less plagued by worries, although he could still sense a trace of fatigue on his his face.

Although his physical condition was much worse than last time, his mental outlook had changed drastically.

Remembering this change in his heart, Su Mo nodded and talked about the details of the deal.

“I’m very satisfied with the design blueprints provided by the Tundra Shelter, so when it comes to trading goods from my side, what is the preference of the Tundra Shelter?”

“Preference?”

Looking at Su Mo’s handsome and proud smiling face, Lu Yongyi felt dazed. Then he quickly reflected on his thoughts and nodded with a smile.

“It seems that Mr. Su Mo came prepared. I won’t beat around the bush anymore.”

“At the moment, the most lacking thing in the Tundra Shelter are crop seeds. To feed so many people, the previous reserve of food supplies has almost been exhausted, yet the seeds on the trading market are too expensive for us to afford, so… ”

“Sigh…”

Speaking of crop seeds, Lu Yongyi first showed a trace of killing intent on his face, which then turned into helplessness.

The high price of crop seeds had not only made Su Mo uncomfortable, but had also made life difficult for other shelters.

This was true even for an official shelter like the Tundra Shelter, which had been at the top of the rankings once before. The welfare disaster was approaching, but they were at a loss and helpless, and could only look at the plowed fields and worry about the future.

“Lacking seeds?”

Everything was planned, and everything was proceeding according to his script.

At this moment, when the script was about to reach its climax, even though Su Mo was had mentally prepared himself, it was difficult to suppress the joy on his face.

Calm down! Control yourself!

As Su Mo’s expression began to waver and look a bit weird, Lu Yongyi on the opposite side seemed to realize something and sighed again.

The intelligence they had received was that Su Mo had used a few hundred catties of fish to purchase seeds from the black merchants yesterday. However, he did not have a seed reserve.

At the moment, based on the huge population of the Tundra Shelter, which numbered close to 300 people, the number of seeds they needed was a massive figure.

Even if they were already desperately collecting things to exchange for seeds, their progress on this front was extremely slow.

However, what surprised Lu Yongyi and Shen Ke was that, after a slight pause, as Su Mo’s face calmed down, and the following words blasted into their hearts like thunder…

“Your lack of seeds is not a problem to me.”

“This time, regarding the seeds required for planting by the Tundra Shelter, I, Su Mo…”

“Will cover all of it!”
