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

Su Mu quickly regained his composure.

Because the night has only just begun.

He glanced down at the cable car's durability... 43%. This number felt like a thorn in his side, making him uneasy.

He had never felt so insecure since entering this world.

Even during the most dangerous times, the cable car was at least intact and served as a solid barrier.

But now, the barrier is riddled with holes, and another slightly stronger attack could render his Level 3 cable car unusable.

What would happen if the cable car were destroyed at a height of 100 meters?

Will it fall from a great height? Or be torn apart by those menacing monsters during its fall?

Su Mu didn't want to think about the answer.

He leaned back in his cable car seat, his mind racing.

Today's incident served as a wake-up call for him... He has been relying too much on the cable car for defense.

In the early stages, the monsters were not high-level and did not cause much damage to his cable car. Its durability hardly dropped, so he never considered the issue of "repairing durability".

But it's different now.

That costumed monster took away 53% of his durability in a single hit. If he encounters a similar attack again, or a denser horde of monsters, his cable car may not be able to hold up at any time.

He needed a way to quickly repair the cable car's durability. It didn't have to be fast; even a slow recovery during lulls in the fighting would do... at least give him hope.

This matter must be put on the agenda.

Su Mu opened his private chat list, thought for a moment, and sent messages to a few familiar people.

He asked Lin Yuwei, Zhou Zhenguo, Han Lei, Shen Qingwan... He asked everyone he could think of who had some ability and resources.

"Do you have anything that can increase the cable car's durability or repair it? Blueprints, scrolls, skill books, anything is fine. Information is also welcome. Price is negotiable."

He sent the message and leaned against the wall to wait.

Lin Yuwei was the first to reply.

[Lin Yuwei: You're asking about durability?]

[Lin Yuwei: ...The cable car that was just attacked by that monster, was it yours?]

Before Su Mu could reply, the other party sent another message, seemingly talking to themselves:

[Lin Yuwei: That's true. Along the entire cableway, the only one that could be targeted by something of that level is your cable car. A Class 3 cable car, so big and bright, who else would they target if not you?]

Su Mu's lips twitched.

This woman still speaks in such an unpleasant way.

[Su Mu: So, do you have one?]

Lin Yuwei: No. I've never even heard of such a thing.

[Lin Yuwei: But if I can find it, I'll tell you.]

Su Mu raised an eyebrow slightly as he read the message. This shrewd businessman was surprisingly agreeable today. He replied with a "Thanks," and then went to read the replies from other people.

Zhou Zhenguo's news arrived soon after:

[Zhou Zhenguo: The thing for repairing the cable car? I've never seen it. Nobody in the guild has mentioned it either. But I'll keep an eye out for you, and I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything.]

Han Lei and Shen Qingwan gave similar replies, such as "I haven't heard of it" or "I'll keep an eye out for you."

Su Mu wasn't surprised. These kinds of things are rare to begin with, and he was just trying his luck by asking these people; he didn't really expect to find out.

He was about to close the private chat when suddenly...

A cold, mechanical sound echoed throughout the cable; it wasn't an ordinary announcement, but a more solemn and formal system notification.

[Announcement for Area 886 (Cable Number)]

[This cable has been detected to have entered the "Ash City" area. All survivors have been automatically added to the Ash City public chat channel.]

[Note: Ash City's public channel is a cross-cable communication platform. Currently, 32 cables are connected.]

[Channel Rules: Sending a message in a public channel costs 1 Mystic Stone per message. Private messages are unaffected.]

Have a pleasant survival experience in Ash City.

Su Mu was taken aback.

Thirty-two cables.

In other words, there are at least tens of thousands of people currently above Ash City, distributed across different cables, about to be dropped into the same city.

He turned on the public channel.

The interface is similar to the previous regional channels, but a number is displayed in the upper right corner: 32. This represents the number of connected cables. The channel is quiet... not because no one is there, but because no one is speaking casually. Each message consumes one Mystic Stone, a threshold that keeps most people who want to join in the fun out.

Su Mu looked at the rule and hesitated almost without hesitation.

He opened the input box of the public channel, typed a line of text, and sent it.

[886 Cable - Su Mu: Buying reels, blueprints, skill books, or related information that can repair cable car durability. Also buying various high-quality blueprints. Tradeable with physical items, firearms, and ammunition. Please do not contact me if you are not buying special blueprints below white level. Private message me.]

The message has been sent.

A strange stone was automatically deducted from the backpack.

Su Mu stared at the channel and waited a few seconds.

No one replied.

He's not in a hurry.

The cost of a single mysterious stone means that those who can speak on the public channel are people with power and resources. Unlike those on regional channels who swarm in, these people observe, judge, and weigh the pros and cons.

After the message was sent, the public channel remained silent.

No one answered.

He waited a few seconds, then a few more. The channel still showed only a few scattered old messages, with no new replies.

Su Mu was not surprised.

The cost of speaking about a single mysterious stone kept most people who wanted to join in the fun out of the door.
