Chapter 937 The Third Foundation Stone, the Spring of Farmers!

Three points, seven routes each.

It seemed like a difficult choice.

But soon, Su Mo entered the cornerstone space, and spent all the points he had earned as an apprentice when completing the hidden mission.

[Scavenger Route Cornerstone (lv2)]

[Cornerstone Gain]: Ability

[Gain Overview]: Iron Feet (Feet have enhanced flexibility and can bear more pressure transmission.)

——

[Mechanical Apprentice Route Cornerstone (lv2)]

[Cornerstone Gain]: Ability

[Gain Overview]: Reliable (The overall structure of the machinery involved in manufacturing will be more durable, and the life span will be increased to a certain extent.)

——

[Architectural Apprentice Route Cornerstone (lv2)]

[Cornerstone Gain]: Ability

[Gain Overview]: Solid (The overall structure of the building involved in construction will be stronger, and the ability to resist damage will be increased to a certain extent.)

——

[Farmer Route Cornerstone (lv3)]

[Cornerstone Gain]: Ability

[Gain Overview]:

Heat Resistance (2; Reduce the impact of high temperature on physical strength)

Seasonality (3; Different seasons will bring different gains to Farmer Route players. The current season: Spring, slightly increase the growth rate of crops)

……

Upgrading Farmers to the third level of cornerstone can be said to be the best choice at the moment.

This special ability can make the crops in the territory grow faster and get through the long germination period as soon as possible.

As for handicraft enthusiasts and reserve soldiers, they do not need special abilities to assist production for the time being, so they can be delayed a little.

Although Su Mo really wants to try to upgrade a certain route to level 5 as soon as possible to see if there will be any special effects, reality is not a game after all, and you can reset points and add points at will.

The special ability of the scavenger 3 is "danger perception", which can probabilistically warn of dangers around you.

The special ability of the mechanical apprentice 3 is "precision", which will increase the accuracy when making mechanical products by hand.

The special ability of the construction apprentice 3 is "tool affinity", which will have a special buff when using construction tools, which can reduce physical strength consumption to a small extent.

Generally speaking, these three items are not abilities that must be selected at this stage.

Only the farmer can provide the greatest help within a limited number of points.

"Zero, how much power has it been charged?"

"Master, it's already 7%. Do you need to start scanning and learning at full power now?"

The small cube on the table trembled, and its tone seemed to have some emotion, not as cold as when it was just formed a few days ago.

Su Mo picked it up and looked at it in surprise, and finally shook his head and said:

"Be patient, we can't afford to support you at this stage, and this electricity will be of great use in a few days."

"That's good.

The small cube turned over by itself, rolled to the corner obediently, and stared at the wall.

Good guy.

This little thing is really smart, not only has emotions, but also has its own emotions.

If it can be allowed to scan and learn at full power, wouldn't it be able to evolve emotions similar to humans soon?

With a hint of longing, Su Mo stood up from the chair that hurt his butt, stretched his waist, and reached out to put Zero into his pocket.

"Let's go, I'll take you out for a walk, and only 1% of the learning computing power is allowed to be turned on. ”

From July when I came back to September now.

Unconsciously, two months have passed quickly, and the impact of ice and snow is hard to see.

New buds began to emerge from the hard ground, and the whole land seemed to be covered with a layer of green carpet.

The trees that descended through the Thousand Illusion Mist have sprouted new buds, and the branches have also sprouted a touch of green.

Nearly a hundred carp in the lake, led by the Carp King, returned to the shallow water to play.

The cattle and sheep that had been locked up in the warehouse for a whole winter were also released, running happily on the land with the group of coolie lizards every day.

With the addition of nearly 10,000 people, the development speed of Hope Village has been on the right track and has begun to get faster and faster.

The original village has begun to expand outward, and several new concrete buildings have appeared on the ground.

To the north of the village, next to the farm tool center.

This area divided into an industrial area also has several factories under construction.

Suma walked up to the first floor of the underground city, went out of the gate, and looked towards the village. Go.

The first sight was the gray-black smoke column that could not be covered by the white mist.

This was the Imperial Building Materials Factory built by the "Man-Made Empire" with a loan. The current test output has reached an average of 2,000 bricks per day, and the progress is amazingly fast.

Of course, the main business of the building materials factory is not the production of bricks.

The shrewd and experienced factory director targeted the large amount of construction waste collected by scavengers from outside and started a recycling station business.

A large amount of waste entered the factory and was cut and prepared, and then was pulled into the village to be sold to other villagers who wanted to open factories.

For example, several industrial plants under construction around the Imperial Building Materials Factory purchased the materials he sold.

Of course, the taxes to be paid to the territory are not cheap.

A few days ago, Chen Shen brought the report. In the month when the factory opened, the Imperial Building Materials Factory provided as much as 400 copper coins in taxes.

At the same time, Su Mo himself also received a dividend.

This is the price paid by the "Man-Made Empire" when it came to apply for technical information.

Using the complete recycling data to invest, 20% of the shares of the building materials factory now belong to him.

Although the dividend this time is not much, only 80 copper coins, it is enough to show the bright future of the building materials factory.

Next to the factory area of ​​​​the Empire Building Materials Factory is Mala Iron Hammer's Dream Refining Steel Factory.

This time, the sale of the Dali series of agricultural tools has made the Dream Refining Steel Factory profitable.

Not only did it earn the funds to continue researching the next series, but it also expanded the internal staff to a full 30 people, temporarily becoming the largest private enterprise in Tianyuan Territory.

Because it invested 5,000 copper coins in advance and occupied half of the shares, the Dream Refining Steel Factory received more dividends, a full 240 copper coins.

This speed of making money shocked even Su Mo.

Sure enough, people who control the means of production can accumulate wealth quickly at a speed that ordinary people can hardly imagine even without exploitation.

And as one of the beneficiaries.

It may not take long for him to become a well-deserved rich man in the territory.

"The factory makes money, and we invest it to continue to improve the basic industry level of the territory."

"I make money, and use it to build the underground city, and no longer take resources directly from the village account."

"That's great."

Su Mo sighed.

One should not interfere in other's affairs.

In the future ruins, he had not thought about these things.

But after returning to reality and sitting in the position of lord for a while, he found that his vision was really getting longer and longer.

Now there is only one Hope Village in the territory. When there is a shortage of supplies, he can easily transfer some.

But in the future, as more and more groups build the territory, there will be competition between them.

It's really not easy to take it casually.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, the originally planned project will be shelved and unfinished due to the drain of funds.

Thinking of this, Su Mo took a step and walked towards the market.

But just as he walked to the outer edge, Feng Long came back and greeted him quietly:

"Director, the big fish finally couldn't bear it anymore."

"Oh? What day is it?"

"The nineteenth day!" Feng Long thought about it and said happily: "Captain Liu has a big appetite. He asked us to exchange 10,000 kilograms of food, and we also need to find a way to get 500 rounds of bullets and two standard rifles for him."

Has it reached the stage of negotiating conditions?

Su Mo was slightly stunned. Since the matter of infiltrating Pingtan Shelter was handed over to Feng Long, he has rarely paid attention to it these days.

After all, from the information collected, the task of this month for the layer where Liu Lu is located has been completed.

If you want to be anxious, you can wait until next month.

Why can't you bear it so soon?

"Lawyer Liu is very tight-lipped. No matter how hard we try to pry him openly, he won't say more. But one of his subordinates has been..." Feng Long made a gesture of putting his hands in his pockets: "Someone is openly competing with Lawyer Liu. The condition is the quota of tasks for next month. Whoever can complete it at the lowest cost can become the floor leader."

"So he wants us to help him complete it, and he has made such a condition?"

Su Mo couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

To be honest, this guy doesn't look like someone who can ask for a lot. The materials confiscated from the Harbor Shelter that day probably didn't add up to 2,000 kilograms. How dare he call out a price of 5,000 kilograms?

"Did he say anything else?"

Feng Long nodded and continued.

"Lawyer Liu should have seen that I was just a person in charge of negotiations, not the one in charge of the back. So he wanted to tell me that he wanted to meet with you, not to discuss what he had to pay for this transaction, but to discuss some deeper cooperation."

"Maybe he wants to promote a trading relationship like the one between Harbor Shelter and Harbor Shelter?"

After hearing this, Su Mo suddenly understood a little.

Liu Lu was smart enough to know that a single transaction could not change the fact that he had lost a long-term partner.

The territory wanted a tool machine, so he probably guessed something extra and wanted to leave himself a way out.

But think about it.

Based on the tense situation that day, the Pingtan Shelter was not like the Hope Village, where everyone was united.

There was a huge competition between the so-called layer masters and deputy layer masters, so much so that the deputy layer masters of other layers also got involved.

In addition, the partners who had been trading for a long time did what they said and killed people and robbed goods directly.

This group of moles said nice things, but they were even more cruel than the plunderers.

Whoever came here would be panicked.

"Is there more detailed information about the Pingtan Shelter, such as their internal structure, how many people there are, and what the so-called number of layers means?"

"Not yet." Feng Long shook his head helplessly.

"They are too tight-lipped. Don't ask me to use some extraordinary means. It's too difficult to pry the real information out of them by just bribing them with materials."

"No hurry. Since they don't want to talk, forget it. For the time being, let's prepare to cooperate with them."

The last time Liu Lu was soft-handed in front of the black-armored man flashed in his mind.

After a pause, Su Mo continued.

"Since he wants to see me, that's fine. Let's make an appointment with him at a suitable time and I'll go to meet him."

"In addition, it's not unacceptable to exchange these materials for a machine tool. Let our people prepare things in advance. Once the cooperation is reached, I hope to ship the machine tool back and put it into production as soon as possible."

Feng Long nodded obediently.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Pingtan Shelter.

B-7th floor.

In the dim room of about 15 square meters, breathing the slightly foul air.

Liu Lu paced back and forth, his face full of worry.

Since he had a falling out with Jin Dafa more than half a month ago, the atmosphere on B-7th floor has become tense.

In addition, the new policy announced by the shelter manager last week will reduce the distribution of materials on each floor by 30% in the future.

Although 90% of the personnel did not go to the ground to understand the situation, nor did they get information about changes in the outside world.

But combined with previous information, more and more people still guessed what would happen in the future.

Reduce rations and force signs.

Go to the ground and collect supplies.

These four steps have never been interrupted for more than 200 years.

Every time they are executed, it means that the situation in the outside world has changed dramatically, and the shelter has reached a critical moment of life and death.

In this case, when the residents of B-7th floor found that the main and deputy floor masters began to compete.

It is reasonable to start standing in line.

At present, among the 2,259 residents on the seventh floor, 451 have clearly supported Jin Dafa to continue to serve as the floor leader and lead everyone to the ground to find supplies.

And there are only 135 people who support him, and they are basically brothers from the B-7 floor guard team.

It seems that Jin Dafa has an absolute advantage.

But both of them know it well.

Now that the knife has not touched the body, this kind of team is meaningless and does not count at all.

If you really want to compete for the floor leader and gain control of the B-7 floor.

You still have to find a way to win over the remaining 1,673 fence-sitters. Only if these people are willing to surrender can you sit firmly on the floor leader throne.

And the means of winning over are also very simple.

Whoever can complete the task share of the B-7 floor next month with personal strength and at the lowest cost.

Whoever can get priority support and sit on the floor leader throne!

However, when Liu Lu thought of the two-ton task requirement next month, his scalp was numb.

So many supplies, even if he was killed, it would be impossible to find them in the wild in the barren and unproductive Qinggang City.

The only way is to go to the outside world and imitate the behavior of the looters to plunder other people's supplies.

Is it simple?

If those who have supplies stand in a row and let them wear exoskeletons to rob, it would be really simple.

But the fact is that the tribes in Qinggang City that have accumulated supplies are all smart people and are frequent visitors to the sewers.

If you want to catch them in a complex city, these guys in your hands are far from enough

Go to rob other shelters?

Liu Lu's scalp numbed and he quickly suppressed this dangerous idea.

The armed strength of Pingtan Shelter is strong, ranking in the top five of the mole guys.

But this is not their B-7 floor.

They only have six exoskeleton armors on the entire floor, and they have to change when they go out for patrol and change shifts.

If you dare to go head-to-head with other people's shelters with this strength, it will be more dangerous than trading with that mysterious group of people and stealing the machine tools in the shelter and transporting them out.

The former is a 100% head-losing thing, and the latter is not something you haven't done before.

Maybe there is

At this time, the door opened.

Old Lu, wearing a worn-out engineer's uniform, walked in.

He was the captain of the B-7 engineering team, with more than a dozen engineers under him, who were responsible for repairing the infrastructure of the B-7 floor.

In theory, such work should be managed by the floor leader Jin Dafa.

But because the facilities were severely damaged before, Jin Dafa had been unable to find materials to repair them.

After a while, Liu Lu got excited and did something shameful with these people, and now they can only stand together and move forward and backward together.

"What's wrong?"

"Captain Liu, that mysterious group of people sent a letter."
