The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

He first emptied everything out of his backpack.

First, let's talk about firearms.

The munitions moved from the military base's storage room, along with the equipment salvaged from the foreigners' corpses, were piled up all over the floor. He roughly counted them... twelve M4A1 carbines, eight Glock pistols, three AK-47s, and seven other miscellaneous pistols.

There were more than thirty usable rifles and submachine guns, most of which were brand new military standard weapons.

The bullets were piled up into a small mountain: more than 3,000 rounds of 5.56mm rifle bullets, more than 1,000 rounds of 9mm pistol bullets, plus two or three hundred loose rounds of miscellaneous ammunition.

Hand grenades were also a major expense.

Forty M67 fragmentation grenades were taken from the base, five grenades of various kinds were seized from foreigners, plus twenty smoke grenades and twenty flashbangs.

Although a lot was used in the woods today, the remaining amount is still quite considerable.

Su Mu looked at the pile of weapons on the ground. These things might have been treated with caution in the past, since they posed a great threat, but they no longer posed much of a threat to him.

Today in the woods, those foreigners fired so many shots at him, but apart from the Desert Eagle that only took away 1 point of his health, the others didn't even scratch him. His armor, combined with the healing effect of the Blood Ginseng Wine, had made him immune to damage from ordinary firearms.

This is why, when Su Mu later saw Lin Zhenguo and the others arrive, he chose to have them collect these things.

However, if these guns are sold off carelessly, and they fall into the hands of unreliable people... such as foreigners, or someone like Zhao Hongyuan who is vindictive... the other party could turn around and use these weapons to commit evil, or even develop a power base based on them, which would be bad.

Therefore, trading is possible, but must be done with caution.

Moreover, given the current financial situation of most people along this cable line, it's estimated that very few could afford such a large shipment of weapons. Su Mu decided to put it on hold for now and wait for a suitable buyer to appear.

He repacked the guns and ammunition, stuffed them back into the corner of his backpack, and then picked out two things from the pile of spoils that had truly caught his eye that day.

The first feature is an adjustable stock.

Adjustable stock (green)

[Effect: Reduces weapon recoil by 25% after installation, improving shooting stability.]

[Compatible with: Rifles, carbines, submachine guns.]

The second is the extended magazine.

Extended magazine (green)

[Effect: Increases magazine capacity by 20 rounds; compatible with any weapon.]

Both of these accessories are universal and can be used on any gun.

Su Mu immediately installed the extended magazine onto the M500... The revolver, which originally could only hold 7 rounds, could now hold 27, plus the one already in the chamber, for a total of 28. The firepower quadrupled. As for the recoil-reducing stock, it wasn't very useful for his 123 strength points; he'd save it for future trading.

He didn't switch to those M4A1s or AK-47s.

There are three reasons: First, the M500 pistol is small in size and can be drawn from a tactical chest suspender more quickly, making it suitable for close-range reaction.

Secondly, those long spears were taken from the ammunition depot and were not "bound" in the system's equipment slots, so they could not be summoned and retrieved at any time like professional weapons, making them less convenient to use.

Third, and most importantly, his talent for "mass production" allows him to produce a thousand 9mm bullets every day for free, and the M500 happens to use this caliber.

Fourth, switching to a 5.56mm rifle, the bullets became the problem.

A pistol is enough.

After finishing these miscellaneous tasks, Su Mu's gaze fell on the yellowed scroll in the corner.

Level 4 cable car upgrade blueprints.

This is the most important thing in today's harvest.

Firearms, grenades, and accessories—these are all external forces. But the cable car upgrade grants him a choice of one of three talents, enhancing his own strength—something no equipment can replace.

He picked up the scroll and carefully reviewed the material requirements: 45 steel ingots and 15 bulletproof glass blocks.

Su Mu rummaged through the materials in his backpack. He had gathered all the steel ingots. However, he only had twelve pieces of bulletproof glass, four more were still needed.

He didn't want to wait until tomorrow. He couldn't wait even a moment longer.

Su Mu opened the trading channel, carefully considered his words, and sent a message:

[Buying bulletproof glass shards. Food or ammunition accepted in exchange. Fair prices. DM me.]

He did not show any urgency.

The more anxious you are at this time, the more likely you are to be overcharged.

Release it first, and give the people in the channel an hour to process it.

If someone has the goods, they'll naturally come to him. If he really can't get them, he's even willing to trade submachine guns for them... After all, those guns are useless to him; getting upgrade materials is what matters.

The message had just been sent, and before the private chat could even explode, a message from Lin Yuwei popped up first.

[Lin Yuwei: I won't accept your favor. Otherwise, you'll call me a shrewd businessman. You're the shrewd businessman.]

Su Mu was taken aback for a moment, then realized... she was referring to what happened in the woods at the evacuation point today. At that time, he had Zhou Zhenguo and the others take away the supplies dropped by the foreigners. Lin Yuwei was also present, and she probably felt that she had been "given a handout" and couldn't save face.

Just as he was about to reply, "Who said I was going to do you a favor?", the other party sent another message with a transaction request attached.

Su Mu clicked on it and saw that it was a blueprint.

[Roller Upgrade Symbol (Green)]

[Type: Consumable]

[Effect: When used on a white-quality roll, it upgrades the roll's quality to green. When used on a roll of quality lower than white, it upgrades the roll's quality to white.]

[Note: This only applies to scroll-type items.]

Su Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Reel upgrade? That's rare. But most reels are disposable, and reels below white quality already have limited effects, so an upgrade won't make much difference.

But then he thought about it again and suddenly remembered something.

He opened his backpack and pulled something out from the corner.

【Architectural Upgrade Scroll (White)】

[Type: Consumable]

[Effect: Upgrades non-base structures on the cable car that are below level 2 by one level.]

[Requirement: 20 Mysterious Stones]

[Note: This only applies to structures attached to the cable car, not to the cable car itself, and cannot be used on buildings of blue quality or higher.]

This was obtained from Zhou Zhenguo yesterday. We didn't have enough Ghost Stones at the time, so we didn't have time to use it. This morning, I was in a hurry to go to the military base to retrieve supplies, so I put it aside.

Although this item is a one-time use item, if its grade can be upgraded, its effect will double, and its value will be completely different.

Su Mu clicked confirm without hesitation and received the scroll upgrade talisman from Lin Yuwei.

Then he took out the building upgrade scrolls and placed the two scrolls side by side on the crafting table.

[Do you want to use the "Roller Upgrade Symbol (White)" on the "Building Upgrade Roller (White)"?]

confirm.
