Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 25 A New Round of Intelligence Update

Old Zhou, who was in charge of the shop, also returned at this time, bringing 20 new employees with him.

When opening the store, Li Ye also posted a job advertisement.

The interviewing work was naturally handed over to Lao Zhou.

The level 1 items sold in the shop indirectly demonstrate Tomorrow's current strength.

In addition, while the Tomorrow was docked for maintenance, many residents had already seen the Frost Cannon installed on the deck, so many people signed up for the interview.

Soon, the first task for these 20 new recruits was to work with mechanic Lin Wu on the repairs of the Tomorrow.

To Li Ye's surprise, Li Jin and Lei Jian also came along.

Only after asking did I learn that they had also opened a shop in the market and had even purchased his Level 1 rocket launcher.

Li Ye then handed them two packets of Blue Heart potato seeds, as he had promised beforehand.

When Lei Jian and Li Jin were about to pay, he immediately waved his hand to indicate that they didn't need to.

For him, the cost of producing a bag of Blue Heart potato seeds is nothing more than a potato.

Rather than accepting money, it's better to do someone a favor.

After thanking them and carefully putting away the seeds, Li Jin and Lei Jian didn't rush to leave. Instead, they stayed and chatted idly with Li Ye.

Their eyes darted around, and they seemed hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Li Ye asked, puzzled.

After asking him more questions, he was left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

It turns out that these two had their eyes on my fruit trees and cotton seeds.

As lords, they naturally understood the value of this level 1 crop. It meant they would have an extra fruit to eat in their mobile cities.

As for cotton, needless to say.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ye nodded.

He had a total of 30 Sun Apple seeds, so separating a few wouldn't be a big deal. He had even more cotton seeds, hundreds in total.

After some negotiation, he sold the two seeds to the two men for 2000 crystal coins.

The price made Li Jin and Lei Jian grimace.

This price is enough to buy three or four bags of Grade 1 crop seeds.

To be fair, level 1 fruit tree seeds are extremely rare. Moreover, once the fruit matures and bears fruit, they can obtain seeds to continue planting, or even sell the seeds to recoup their losses. Cotton seeds are also a high-value level 1 crop.

Overall, it's still acceptable.

With the help of 20 new recruits, the repairs on Tomorrow were completed much faster, within three days.

Li Ye then gave a brief summary of the shop's profits over the past three days.

More than 16000 crystal coins and more than 1900 units of iron ore.

On the first day of the store's opening, the business achieved more than half of its revenue, but the number of customers dropped sharply in the remaining two days.

During this period, Li Ye spent 600 units of iron ore to create spore armor, and then spent a total of 500 units of iron ore to upgrade the propulsion tracks and power wheel sets.

The installation and replacement work was naturally handed over to Lin Wu. Due to the sudden increase in manpower, the work was carried out very quickly and has now been completed.

Li Ye also built 6 Gale rocket launchers and 30 rockets.

Then he discovered that his once abundant iron ore reserves had suddenly run dry.

"This is just the beginning!" he exclaimed in surprise.

According to his plan to leave the field, he also plans to build 10 more Falcon assault rifles and 4 off-road vehicles.

Furthermore, it needs to stockpile a sufficient number of bullets, shells, and rockets.

Leave some iron ore for emergencies.

Roughly calculated, he still needs at least 2500 units of iron ore.

Based on the prices at the Roland Fortress Market, that's 20000 crystals.

Li Ye thought about it for a while and couldn't help but shake his head.

At current prices, spending money to buy large quantities of iron ore is really not worthwhile. Anyway, with my own intelligence system, finding iron ore and mines in the wild is still quite easy.

So he only bought 500 units of iron ore as a contingency. To Li Ye's dismay, there was no frost ore for sale at the Roland Fortress market. He had originally planned to make more frost shells, and if he could procure frost crystals, he even wanted to build another frost cannon.

After all, he had already experienced the power of a level 1 cannon.

In the following period, Liye purchased a large amount of coal and filled the Tomorrow, bringing its energy level back to the safe line of 60%.

Following that, he purchased some fruits and vegetables as usual, and also bought some daily necessities and furniture for the new residents of Tomorrow.

Looking at the Tomorrow in front of him, he felt a surge of pride.

The Tomorrow currently has forty or fifty people on board, equipped with Falcon assault rifles, Gale rocket launchers, four level 1 crops, a level 1 off-road vehicle, and has also upgraded to three level 1 city accessories, as well as a level 1 artillery.

It also has a Tier 2 item - Urban Camouflage!

Keep in mind that this has only been about half a month, yet it has developed so rapidly.

After expressing his feelings, Li Ye began making personnel arrangements for the newcomers.

He gave two options.

They could either serve as ordinary residents, performing maintenance on the Tomorrow, tending to fields or fruit trees and cotton, working in the lower power room, or cleaning the Tomorrow.

They could either become combatants, enjoying better treatment than ordinary residents, and be responsible for dangerous external combat and maintaining daily order.

The newcomers made their choices. The vast majority chose to become ordinary residents, since although the pay was lower, the work was easier and safer.

After the personnel arrangements were completed, Li Ye frowned slightly.

The increased strength and personnel of the Tomorrow are good things, but its supply of materials is still at the previous level.

Although the warehouse was stocked with vegetables and fruits, very little was distributed among the forty or fifty people.

Moreover, they have a short shelf life and often need to be consumed within a week.

What Li Ye wants is to achieve self-sufficiency in vegetables, fruits, meat, and eggs on the Tomorrow. Ideally, these should be level 1 crops.

However, collecting level 1 crops is not as easy as imagined; it can only be done step by step.

As for the common poultry used to supply meat and eggs, Roland Fortress sells them, but at extremely high prices. I bought some before leaving the wilderness.

Ordinary poultry farming takes a long time, requires freshwater feed and space.

"That's about it. Let's check the intelligence first and plan our next route."

After the repairs and troubleshooting are completed, Tomorrow will need to set sail again.

After all, there are less than three months left.

The new intelligence has now been updated.

This time, a total of 1 normal, 1 excellent, 2 rare, 2 superior, and 1 epic piece of information were refreshed.

As usual, he carefully read through the intelligence report.

[1. Twenty kilometers southwest of Roland Fortress, a pack of steel-bladed hyenas is roaming and foraging. (Intelligence Value: Average)]

2. On the northeastern edge of the Rotten Lands lies a small, undiscovered oil field. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)

[3. Last night, the Vanguard easily destroyed a predatory city, acquiring its population, resources, and projects in its production workshops. The loot also included a Tier 2 item. (Intelligence Value: Rare)]

4. In the wasteland, a monster civilization has gradually risen and is becoming a huge threat to humanity. (Intelligence Value: Rare)

5. Deep within Thunder Canyon, a bounty hunter unexpectedly acquired a loot item: a Tier 1 flying vehicle. He's currently worried about how to take it out. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)

[6. Three days later, the level 1 world boss "Foreman Jeremy" will appear in the Gross Mine. This boss will drop a mine storage key, and inside the storage room is a level 1 mobile city upgrade blueprint. By collecting the required materials using this blueprint, you can upgrade your mobile city to level 2. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)]

[7. Refreshing. (Intelligence Value: Epic)]

Li Ye stroked his chin and began to analyze.

The first piece of intelligence is...

Twenty kilometers southwest of Roland Fortress, a pack of steel-bladed hyenas roams.

Steelblade hyenas are level 1 elite monsters. They have incredibly tough bodies covered with several long, twisted steel blades.

These monsters like to charge at their targets in groups, cutting them to pieces with their steel blades. They are extremely fast and are a nightmare for people in the wasteland.

Even mobile cities fear these things because of their incredible jumping ability. If artillery and machine guns can't take them down, they'll dash onto the deck in a flash, and then...
"Although it's ordinary, it's still valuable overall." Li Ye nodded slightly.

When we leave the fortress tomorrow, we must avoid heading southwest.
