Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 74 Level 2 Items at the Auction House

Within seconds, dozens of auction items appeared on the auction house's website.

"So many?" Tang Fang exclaimed in surprise.

Li Ye was not surprised by this, because the intelligence had previously mentioned that there were as many as 119 level 1 cities in the wasteland area.

Although the number may have decreased or increased during this period, the overall situation remains largely the same.

The sheer number of over a hundred mobile cities is staggering. The resources, manpower, and materials they accumulate are enough to rebuild the entire wasteland.

"Ali, what do we want to buy this time?" Old Zhou asked.

Before Li Ye could speak, Lin Wu, who was standing to the side, gave his answer.

"First, there are Tier 2 items, and then there are Tier 1 city accessories for water navigation."

Li Ye nodded.

For level 1 cities, level 2 items are incredibly useful; each one can significantly increase their strength.

The reason he hasn't spent any money is that he's waiting for level 2 items to be available.

But then again, how many level 1 cities are willing to sell their level 2 items?

Time passed slowly, and everyone remained motionless, staring intently at the screen, not daring to look away for even a moment.

The number of items listed in the auction house quickly exceeded 500.

Iron ore, blueprints, city building materials, weapons—the auction house was instantly filled with all sorts of auction items.

A few minutes later, the first level 2 item appeared on the shelves.

"They're here!" Li Ye's heart skipped a beat.

His first reaction was to instantly press his hand on the button for the fixed price so that he could bid as soon as possible.

However, after seeing what this level 2 item was, he couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.

Goblin Rocket Boots

[Level: Level 2]

【附带效果：1.奔跑速度提升20% 2.按下鞋子左侧按钮，即可在接下来10秒内陡然加速到100%。】

[Note: This item has a chance to break each time it is used. Repairing it requires level 2 iron ore.]

The starting bid for the Goblin Rocket Boots is 18000 crystals, and the buy-it-now price is 22000 crystals.

Disappointed, Li Ye removed his hand from the button.

This Tier 2 item is not bad, but the starting bid of 18000 crystal coins is a bit too high.

It offers little improvement for mobile cities; it's best suited for bounty hunters and lone wolves surviving in the wild.

Or they might be collected by wealthy lords.

He might buy it if it were half price.

The lords of mobile cities are very shrewd; they would never put up valuable or upgradeable Tier 2 items for sale. The only items that would be put up for auction are usually these scraps.

The chances of buying a Tier 2 artillery piece, a Tier 2 heavy machine gun, or a Tier 2 city armored vehicle from the auction house are very low; no one would put such items up for sale.

Even if they exist, the price is often exorbitant.

To Li Ye's surprise, a second level 2 item appeared very quickly.

That was a level 2 iron ore with 157 units.

The starting bid is 38 crystals per unit, and the buy-it-now price is 62 crystals per unit.

38-41-44
The moment it appeared, the bidding price for level 2 iron ore soared at an astonishing rate.

They bought it directly from Liye at a fixed price.

"Isn't this price a bit too high, Brother Li?" Tang Fang asked worriedly.

Li Ye's expression also showed some heartache.

这2级铁矿1单位的价格就是62晶币，要知道1级铁矿的价格往往只有3-5晶币而已。

But ultimately, its value is undeniable.

The Tomorrow previously acquired a damaged city energy shield device, which requires level 2 iron ore to repair.

As long as it can improve Tomorrow's strength in the short term, this money is well spent.

As Li Ye paid 9734 crystals, a pile of level 2 iron ore was teleported into the cockpit. Its appearance and color were similar to level 1 iron ore, appearing as steel gray, but it was larger and heavier.

"Hopefully, this iron ore is enough to repair the energy shield," he thought to himself.

After handing the level 2 iron ore to Lin Wu, he continued browsing the auction house.

The number of items listed in the auction house continues to increase, now exceeding 500.

A few minutes later, new Tier 2 items were added to the shelves.

Upon closer inspection, Li Ye discovered that it was actually a design drawing.

【Bloody Ripper Heavy Machine Gun - Design Blueprints】

【Item Name: Bloodthirsty Ripper】

[Level: Level 2]

[Additional effect: Increases damage by 30% when dealing with non-vehicle and non-building targets]

[Crafting Requirements: 200 units of iron ore (Level 2)]

Judging from its description, this level 2 heavy machine gun is only so-so against vehicles and moving cities, but it is as powerful as mowing grass against humans, wild monsters and zombie hordes.

Even wild bosses probably couldn't handle it.

What's most appealing is that the bullets for this level 2 heavy machine gun can be crafted using only level 1 iron ore, making it a great value for money.

The starting bid for this design is 45000 crystal coins, and the buy-it-now price is 50000 crystal coins.

Although somewhat tempted, Li Ye could only sigh in vain at this moment.

The price isn't too high, but this is just a design drawing.

Moreover, it requires 200 units of level 2 iron ore to manufacture after purchase.

The production workshop of a level 1 mobile city can only produce level 1 items. Buying these blueprints won't be of much use for a while. You can either save them and use them after upgrading to level 2, or you can buy and sell them.

Moreover, he himself had a limited budget.

The heavy machine gun design drawings were quickly snapped up by someone.

Li Ye didn't care much about this and started browsing the list of level 1 items.

For Tier 1 cities, Tier 1 items are the most practical and affordable things.

At this moment, the auction house is filled with all kinds of level 1 items.

When Li Ye changed the selection criteria to the water navigation category, 25 items quickly appeared.

15 finished urban accessory pieces, 10 urban accessory design drawings.

If there are no Tier 2 items that interest you, Li Ye plans to use the money he has to purchase all the Tier 1 water navigation city accessories this time.

This is not only for the current voyage, but also to prepare for future sea voyages.

Between finished products and design drawings, he prefers to buy design drawings.

After all, it's better to build than to buy.

If any city components break down in the future, they can be rebuilt.

In addition, Li Ye quite enjoys the feeling of purchasing design blueprints and adding production workshop projects, as if he is playing a collection game.

First, he purchased the thruster design blueprints.

【“Tidal” City Thruster - Design Drawings】

【Item Name: Tidal City Thruster】

[Level: Level 1]

[Additional benefits: 1. Increased work efficiency by 5% 2. Reduced urban energy consumption by 10%]

[Crafting Requirements: 300 units of iron ore (Level 1)]

The auction price for this design blueprint is 2299 crystal coins, and the buy-it-now price is 2300 crystal coins.

The seller's arrangement clearly indicates a refusal to negotiate the price.

"Speaking of which, Ali, shouldn't we sell that giant beast axe we just got?" Old Zhou reminded him.
