Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 27 Li Jin's Unpleasant Memories (3.2K)

Li Ye was stunned.

"You can get luxury car blueprints just by killing a goblin? What kind of luck do you have?"

The bounty hunter scratched his head.

"I don't know, I'm always very lucky."

Li Ye took the Rolls-Royce design drawings from his hand and fell into deep thought.

"Wow, I've transmigrated to a wasteland and now I have a Rolls-Royce to drive! My life is finally getting better!"

But upon closer inspection, this luxury car is not suitable for the wasteland; it consumes a lot of fuel and requires frequent maintenance.

Adding 50 more units of iron ore would be enough to build a Tier 1 off-road vehicle.

He immediately shook his head.

"No."

Then, he looked at the goblin helicopter.

【Item Name: Goblin Combat Helicopter】

Item Level: 1

[Additional effect: Speed ​​+10%]

[Crafting Requirements: 150 units of iron ore (Level 1), 10 units of aerial vehicle parts (Level 1)]

[Note: The production workshop does not have the design drawings for this item, therefore it cannot be manufactured.]

For mobile cities, an air vehicle is very valuable.

It can not only perform reconnaissance and air support missions for mobile cities, but the mobile city's deck can also be used for docking and refueling. The two complement each other perfectly, yielding significant benefits.

Ultimately, the bounty hunter packaged the helicopter along with its blueprints and sold it to Li Ye for 3000 crystal coins.

Earning 3000 crystals from a trip is quite a good deal, and he plans to relax properly in the coming days.

In fact, Li Ye could also choose to commit murder and robbery.

However, given the current size of Tomorrow, it's unlikely that they would do such a thing.

If you want him to take action, you'll need at least a line of helicopters.

"It's been a pleasure doing business with you." He shook hands with the bounty hunter and prepared to leave.

The other party hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Wait a minute. You seem like a decent person, not even thinking of robbing anyone in this desolate place. I'll give you the design blueprints I found in the canyon as well!"

"Ok?"

Li Ye turned around in surprise.

Then the bounty hunter pulled out another set of design drawings from his pocket.

【Item Name: Streamlined Wetsuit】

Item Level: Common

[Additional effects: None]

[Crafting Requirements: 50 units of cloth (Level 1)]

"Oh?" His eyes lit up instantly.

For bounty hunters, this is just an ordinary blueprint that doesn't significantly improve their strength; it can only be sold for a few hundred crystals at most.

But for mobile cities, this is a huge benefit. It will definitely come in handy when going overseas in the future, as sometimes it's impossible to collect the necessary data.

He then thanked the other party and accepted the design drawings.

After returning to the deck, Li Ye took out two design drawings from his pocket and examined them.

Although the diving suit design blueprints are only of the basic level, they are already considered to be quite good functional items.

While Rolls-Royce design blueprints are not practical, they can be entered into the production workshop for safekeeping.

In fact, he quite enjoys the feeling of collecting design blueprints, much like a player in an online game collecting illustrations of various equipment and items.

Most importantly, you can actually create the items in the encyclopedia.

Li Ye then made a plan.

If I have some spare money in the future, I'll collect more design drawings. Even if I don't use them, just having rows of them displayed in the production workshop is a pleasure to behold.

Then he sadly touched his pocket.

After such a spending spree, his crystal coins were almost gone again.

Over the next period of time, he used the elevator platform to transport the goblin helicopter to the deck of the Tomorrow and arranged for Lin Wu to carry out maintenance.

After some inspection, the latter found that only the bolts on the propeller were loose, and it could be opened after tightening them.

After careful study, the two found that the goblin helicopter was surprisingly easy to fly.

Its dashboard is far simpler than a human's, making it easy to understand at a glance. The operating system consists of only a few things: the collective pitch lever, the pitch control lever, the steering pedal, and the accelerator.

Li Ye even found a Goblin Fool's Guide on the helicopter.

With his careful operation, the helicopter actually managed to take off.

However, due to its rough construction, it looks like it might fall apart at any moment when flying.

Li Ye flew the helicopter low and circled the ground a few times before flying back to the upper deck.

During this time, he specifically checked the helicopter's firepower. It had two machine guns on its left and right wings, and six bombs in its bomb bay.

As a Tier 1 vehicle, it is very fast, but its construction is very weak, making it easy for bullets to penetrate the fuel tank, causing it to catch fire and explode.

However, for goblins, this is already considered a fairly good air combat force.

In the following period, Li Ye ordered the Tomorrow to head towards the Rotten Land to collect the small oil field.

Since the oil field is located underground and cannot be seen from the surface, he could only send Lin Wu with the outdated oil exploration equipment from the warehouse to explore the vicinity.

After confirming the location, the Tomorrow opened a gap at its bottom, extending an old automated drilling rig that began to slowly rotate and probe the surface. The hydraulic drill bit roared as it tore through the rock layers, eventually reaching the oil reservoir. An oil pipeline extended from the drilling rig, siphoning in the oil, which was then pumped into storage tanks within the mobile city.

Because the oil field is relatively small, the work was completed in just half an hour.

Li Ye took stock of what he had gained this time.

There are a total of 231 units of oil.

Petroleum can be processed into fuel in production facilities, and fuel is the best resource for replenishing the energy of mobile cities. Furthermore, off-road vehicles and goblin helicopters also require fuel.

Considering that Tomorrow may unlock the plastics project in the future, and that manufacturing plastics requires oil, and given that Tomorrow's energy is currently within safe limits, all the crew members have not processed the oil, but instead stored it away.

In the following period, he set off back to Roland Fortress to prepare for the most important task at hand—attacking the Gross Mine.

The Azure and Conqueror are still undergoing repairs and maintenance in the fortress. Li Ye quickly found Li Jin and Lei Jian and informed them of the news.

Upon learning that another wild BOSS had appeared, Li Jin and Lei Jian were taken aback, and their eyes instantly turned fervent.

They had witnessed the loot drops from wild bosses before.

“This time, we still need to work together as we have before,” Li Ye said.

Seeing Li Jin and Lei Jian nod, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

Fortunately, both the Azure and the Conqueror were present, and they had even cooperated once before, so they could trust each other to a certain extent. Otherwise, the Tomorrow alone wouldn't have been able to take over the Gross mine, let alone obtain the city upgrade blueprint.

"By the way, where is the Gross mine? Does either of you have any information about it?" Lei Jian asked.

Li Ye then looked at Li Jin.

The intelligence only provided information about the appearance of a wild boss, but did not mention the location of the Gross Mine.

Only the Azure, which once suffered a defeat at the Gloucester Mine, knows the location of the Gloucester Mine and the monsters that guard it.

When the Gross Mine was mentioned, Li Jin's face showed an expression as if he had been chased and bitten by a pack of vicious dogs.

According to him, the Gross mine is located 180 kilometers northwest of Roland Fortress.

It is a mountain range of considerable size, rich in mineral resources.

The monsters guarding the Gross mine are goblins.

"Goblin?" Li Ye asked in surprise.

In the wasteland, goblins are among the most common level 1 monsters.

They are short in stature, treacherous and cowardly, with green skin and long, narrow red eyes.

It is considered the weakest monster and is easy to kill.

Moreover, the drops from these level 1 monsters are very poor. In most cases, they only drop one or two crystals or even none. If you're lucky, they might drop some iron ore and cloth.

"Goblins alone could damage your Azure like that?" Lei Jian asked, half-believing.

Li Jin quickly shook his head.

“You have no idea just how outrageous the goblins there are,” he said. “Let me tell you.”

When the Gross mine was first discovered, Li Jin and the crew of the Azure were very excited.

It's important to know that a mine can produce several times more resources than a mining site.

It may even produce a series of rare mineral veins, along with even more precious crystals.

They were overjoyed, especially after discovering that the monsters guarding the mine were just goblins.

Compared to snake-men and boar-men, this monster is really not worth mentioning.

Given the complex and unpredictable nature of the wilderness, with the possibility of unexpected events and the possibility of new mobile cities discovering the mine, the Azure quickly mobilized its combat personnel and began its attack on the Gross Mine to avoid any unforeseen complications.

However, as soon as the battle began, everyone sensed that something was wrong.

The goblins at the Gross mine quickly assembled and began to fight back, deploying artillery and heavy machine guns.

They built not only mine tunnels on the mine, but also a large number of trenches, fortifications and other defensive works.

The goblins were well-trained and numerous, and their artillery and heavy machine guns were countless. A dense barrage of fire instantly engulfed the Azure.

They even sent out platoons of helicopters to strafe and bomb the deck of the Blue.

When a helicopter is shot down, the goblin will bravely steer it into the Azure.

For a moment, the crew of the Azure felt as if the entire mine was firing at them.

Their heavy machine guns and artillery caused limited damage, as most goblins hid in trenches and fortresses, and their heavy machine guns and artillery were often mounted on high ground.

What terrified them even more was that the goblins also brought out two level 1 cannons.

Li Jin immediately ordered the Blue Ocean to evacuate quickly.

However, one of the level 1 cannons still hit the Azure, instantly causing the entire mobile city to tremble.

The Azure almost failed to escape.

Afterwards, a review of the losses revealed that the entire mobile city was severely damaged, with numerous casualties, and even Li Jin himself was seriously injured and unconscious at the time.

Even now that he has recovered, Li Jin still feels lingering fear when he talks about it.

After listening, Li Ye and Lei Jian exchanged a glance, a look of seriousness appearing in their eyes.

They hadn't expected the defenses at the Gross mine to be so outrageous.

"It seems we need to reconsider," Lei Jian sighed.

"So this goblin helicopter came from the Gross Mine," Li Ye suddenly realized.

He thought for a moment, then spoke.

“The Tomorrow has helicopters; I can send them out to scout the mines, figure out the locations of their fortifications and artillery, and get them into battle,” he suggested.

Li Jin and Lei Jian were immediately taken aback when they heard this.

"What? You even have a helicopter now?"
