Highway Survival for All: My RV's Infinite Evolution

"Whoosh!"

Inside the teleportation array in Forge City, light flickered.

Lin Hui took a step forward.

What hit us was a terrifying heatwave with temperatures exceeding 60 degrees Celsius, along with the smell of engine oil and rust.

This is the empire's arsenal, where countless enormous blast furnaces spew flames at the horizon, and the deafening roar of machinery is incessant.

Standing outside the teleportation array to greet Lin Hui was none other than Otto, the Empire's chief engineer.

At this moment, Otto was covered in black oil stains, and he was wearing a strange pair of goggles with various magnifying lenses on his head.

Seeing Lin Hui come out, Otto curled his lip and gave a cold snort of annoyance:

"Kid Lin, that old man Leonard has already spoken to me, saying you're coming to requisition supplies. So, how much metal do you need?"

As a technician who has dedicated his life to machinery and casting, metal is his wife, his lifeblood!

If the empire weren't on the verge of collapse and Leonard hadn't given a death order, he would have definitely taken a wrench and smashed the head open of anyone who dared to steal his metal.

Lin Hui looked at Otto, who looked unwilling, smiled slightly, and uttered two words: "All of them."

Otto's eyes widened in shock. "Young Master...Young Master?!"

Lin Hui maintained his smile, "Senior Otto, don't get excited! I'm doing this to prepare for the upcoming world-ending crisis."

"As a high-ranking official of the Empire, you should be aware of how dire the situation is, right? You don't want the Empire to..."

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Otto clutched his chest in distress, saying, "Even for the sake of the Empire, you can't just take everything! What if the Empire survives the crisis, and the forging center runs out of supplies?"

At this point, he stared warily at Lin Hui and muttered under his breath, "I seriously suspect you're just using the apocalypse as an excuse to take advantage of the chaos..."

Lin Hui retorted irritably, "How could you think that way? Do you think I, Lin Hui, am that kind of person?"

"Aren't you one?!" Otto leaned closer to Lin Hui and questioned, "Then what do you need two destroyers for? Don't you have your own vehicles?"

"That's the Empire's strongest warship, built with [Super Alloy] with my own painstaking efforts! Its physical defense alone, according to your players' calculations, reaches a full 1 points!!"

That was the most powerful warship capable of surviving a nuclear blast unscathed!! And what happened? It was barely finished, barely warmed up, and you're taking it away from me again?!

Otto beamed with pride as he spoke of his masterpiece.

Lin Hui almost lost his composure.

1 points of physical defense?

Is that awesome?

My RV had 1 physical defense when it was level 6, and now at level 10, it has 80 physical defense!

However, he certainly wouldn't hurt the self-esteem of an older comrade.

Lin Hui smiled and reassured him, "I have my own tactical plans for wanting warships, which are classified. How about this, I won't take the Empire's resources for nothing."

"I'll give you 10,000 units of level 7 metal to buy out all the reserves here and those two destroyers. How about it?"

"No way! This is the foundation of the empire, I wouldn't take it even if you gave me a million units..." Otto subconsciously shook his head like a rattle drum, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly raised his head.

"Wait... what did you just say? What level of metal?!"

It should be noted that with the current forging technology of the Torres Empire, the strongest alloy that can be synthesized is barely equivalent to a level 5 "Blue Titanium Alloy".

As for level 6 super alloys, I've occasionally gotten a few from a very lucky few players, and they've all treated them like treasures.

Before the appearance of Princess Brida of the dwarves, they couldn't even imagine building a warship with level 6 metal.

And level 7 metal?

That's something unattainable!

Reason told him it was impossible, absolutely impossible.

But... thinking back to how this kid could keep producing superalloys...

Otto's breathing became heavy. "Lin kid... you're not kidding me, are you? You really have level 7 metal?!"

Lin Hui smiled without saying a word and flipped his wrist.

Clang!

He casually tossed a huge black metal block onto the metal floor beneath Otto's feet.

hiss......

The moment Otto saw the black metal, his eyes widened.

Completely disregarding his image as the Empire's chief technician, he collapsed to the ground with a "thud."

His hands trembled as he pulled out a bunch of miniature detectors and scanning magnifying glasses from who-knows-where, and began examining the metal piece by pressing them to the ground as if caressing a peerless beauty.

Lin Hui didn't urge him, but stood aside and watched quietly.

A full ten minutes passed.

Otto struggled to his feet, his eyes shining like two searchlights:

"Young Lin... this metal's physical strength and internal structure are just too perfect! What's it called?"

"Obsidian," Lin Hui replied, then sighed, "I wanted to exchange 1 units for the metal reserves of Forge City, but unfortunately, you don't think it's worth it."

Oto feigned a moment of hesitation, then spoke with an air of righteous indignation:

"Ahem... On another note, you're also working hard for the survival of the empire. Since you urgently need metal, how can I not support you? Here's what we'll do: all of Forge City's current metal reserves are in District D. I'll personally take you there!"

The two walked side by side toward the reserve area.

They'd only gone halfway when Otto couldn't hold back any longer. He stopped, grabbed Lin Hui's sleeve, and asked, "Lin kid, tell me the truth... you really have 1 units of obsidian? You're not kidding me, are you?"

Lin Hui inwardly grumbled.

Why would I lie to an old man like you about 1 units of obsidian?

"Don't worry, I will settle the full amount before taking the reserve metals from Furnace City!" Lin Hui said solemnly.

"It's a deal!" Otto slapped his thigh excitedly. "From the first time I saw you in Star Shield City, I knew you were a truly outstanding young man, generous and righteous for the greater good!"
