Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 4 New Information
When Li Ye entered the cockpit, he found that Tang Fang was no longer operating the steering wheel, but instead sitting in the chair resting with his hands folded back.

The Tomorrow is already sailing smoothly.

He paused for a moment, then instantly realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise.

"You've already got Tomorrow on autopilot?"

The mobile city has an autonomous driving mode, but its operation is not as simple as pressing a button; instead, it requires entering a series of codes on the control panel.

The direction the mobile city should travel, its speed, and the distance of obstacles it should avoid—all of these settings need to be configured.

Tang Fang learned how to input the autopilot mode in less than half a day after taking over the helm.

"It seems you really have a talent for driving." Li Ye patted Tang Fang on the shoulder with genuine admiration.

The latter waved his hand with a bitter face.

"No, Brother Li. I'm just a newcomer to this field, and I'm really afraid I'll mess it up. It would be best to find another helmsman."

Li Ye's expression turned melancholy.

In the post-apocalyptic wasteland, a helmsman like him is a rare find, perhaps one in several years. Even if he were lucky enough to find one, he wouldn't dare to rashly grant him helmsman privileges on the Tomorrow.

Only by training a helmsman from scratch can he feel at ease.

Seeing Tang Fang covered in sweat and looking exhausted, he realized something and a hint of emotion appeared on his face.

Since overthrowing the original lord's rule and taking over the Tomorrow last night, this frail and sickly child has been working hard to pilot the Tomorrow, desperately learning how to operate it, and trying his best not to make any mistakes.

He hasn't even eaten any dry food yet, he's only drunk a few sips of water.

"You've worked hard." He patted Tang Fang on the shoulder again and handed him a piece of food. "Eat quickly, then rest for a while."

Tang Fang casually took the food, but was instantly stunned when he saw what it looked like.

It was a can of meat.

There are only three cans of food on the Tomorrow, which used to be a food that only lords and their confidants were entitled to enjoy.

After taking over Tomorrow, in order to save food, the crew only ate a steamed bun or a boiled potato each day.

Tang Fang stared blankly at Li Ye's appearance, then opened the can and started eating.

After taking a few bites, he lowered his head, wiped the corner of his eye, and said in a muffled voice.

"Brother Li, this stuff doesn't taste good."

Li Ye was taken aback, then patted his head with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"Don't play that game with me. You work very hard piloting the Tomorrow, so it's only right that you eat well."

After saying that, he glanced thoughtfully at the canned food.

The canned meat is in very new packaging, clearly produced recently. It probably originated from some mobile city.

"The fact that they can still produce canned goods in the apocalypse shows that this mobile city is quite powerful," he thought to himself.

At that moment, Lao Zhou and the others also entered the driver's seat.

"Ali, the blue potatoes have been planted, and the zombie remains have been cleared away," Old Zhou said.

When they saw Tang Fang eating canned meat next to Li Ye, no one showed any unusual emotion. On the contrary, Tang Fang became a little embarrassed and put the canned meat aside.

Li Ye nodded to everyone and cleared his throat.

"Since you've come, I have something to tell you. We're going to upgrade to a Tier 2 city within three months and leave the wasteland."

Everyone was stunned when they heard that.

"Why the rush?" Old Zhou's expression changed, and everyone else looked puzzled, discussing among themselves.

Seeing Li Ye nod solemnly, the murmurs in the driver's cab gradually subsided.

Although the reason is unclear, everyone believes in Liye.

Li Ye's expression also turned serious.

Although the wasteland is a level 1 area, its size is equivalent to that of a country, which is ridiculously large.

The nearest area is the Eternal Night District, which is a level 2 area. It is even more dangerous there, and the monsters are even more terrifying.

Few people in the wasteland know the way to the Eternal Night District; they only know that it is a long way away.

This requires Tomorrow to be equipped with a full complement of personnel, sufficient resources, and enough upgraded city components, ideally upgrading it to a level 2 city.

After all, for a level 1 city to rashly venture into a level 2 region is tantamount to courting death.

However, upgrading a level 1 city to level 2 is far from simple. It requires consuming a massive amount of level 1 resources and preparing various rare materials.

It may take three years for a typical Tier 1 city to upgrade to Tier 2.

Li Ye then made a decision.

"Within three months, we need to prepare resources, find a way to reach the Eternal Night District, and figure out a way to upgrade Tomorrow to a Level 2 city!"

After finishing a steamed bun, Li Ye slowly lay down on a small bed.

He brought up the system panel, silently looking at the epic intelligence report, occasionally closing his eyes to ponder something.

This intelligence kept him somewhat uneasy.

The Tomorrow has only just set sail and is already facing such a severe challenge.

At the same time, he looked at another column of text in the system panel.

[Intelligence is being gathered, please wait patiently...]

Next to this line of text is a constantly jumping hourglass pattern.

It seems that the system goes into a cooldown period after all the information has been refreshed.

About half an hour later, the hourglass pattern on the system turned into a single image and displayed a line of text.

Cooling is complete.

[7 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds until the next intelligence update]

[Number of intelligence reports: 5]

"Is the intelligence update speed this time so fast?" Li Ye asked in surprise.

He learned something from the instructions in the system panel.

The amount of intelligence refreshed each time is random, and the time of refresh is also random.

But generally speaking, there is a fixed pattern.

The longer it takes for intelligence to refresh, the more intelligence it provides, and the higher its value.

If it takes several days or even a week for intelligence to be refreshed, there is a possibility that legendary intelligence, which may be of higher value than epic intelligence, may appear.

Sleepiness gradually crept in, and Li Ye couldn't help but yawn and close his eyes. He hadn't had a proper rest since last night, and now he was very tired.

"Hopefully, this time we'll get some good intelligence."

With this thought in mind, he fell into a deep sleep.

When Li Ye woke up again, he found that it was already dark.

"It's already evening? How long have I been sleeping?"

Without thinking twice, he excitedly opened the intelligence system.

Five new pieces of information were displayed in the system panel.

[1. This afternoon, the Level 1 mobile city Azure rallied and captured a mine occupied by monsters. Thanks to the Azure's medic, the Azure Lord's injuries improved and he awoke, but his left arm has been amputated. (Intelligence Value: Common)]

2. Five kilometers to the northeast, there is an unpolluted freshwater lake. (Intelligence Value: Average)

3. 100 kilometers to the west, there is a survivor town called "Wilderness Town," with a population of 161. This town has no artillery or heavy machine guns, and its fortifications are of average size. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)

[4. Five minutes ago, the Level 1 mobile city, Crimson Hound, successfully built a Level 1 artillery piece. Currently, the city's armed forces consist of 96 combat personnel, 4 convoys, 2 Level 1 artillery pieces, 8 standard artillery pieces, 14 standard heavy machine guns, and over 120 firearms of various types. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)]

5. The day after tomorrow morning, a kobold caravan will appear in Thunder Canyon. The kobolds in this caravan are all neutral. Collect candles and give them to them; you might get something good in return. (Intelligence Value: Rare)
