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

It has to be said, these people from Japan are indeed wealthy.

They probably camped out here all night and killed quite a few people. They looted all the looters' equipment, food, water, materials, and spare world currency, and packed them into several large backpacks.

Su Mu did a rough calculation.

I have nearly 100,000 World Coins, over 400 Mystic Crystals, over 100 sets of various materials, and a few pieces of green equipment and two pieces of blue equipment.

However, those two blue pieces were armor, and their attributes were no longer relevant to him. At most, he could use them as fertilizer for the Cloud Vine or sell them on the exchange for some money.

When he turned to the bottom of one of the backpacks, his fingers touched several pages of rolled-up drawings.

There are four in total.

The first one is a standard furniture drawing.

Desert-style upholstered chair (furniture blueprints)

Effect: Increases cable car comfort by +2 after placement, with a minor recovery effect. Can be crafted repeatedly.

"Furniture again," Su Mu thought to himself, realizing he was going further and further down the path of indulging in pleasure.

The second image is a weapon blueprint.

[King Kong Hand Crossbow (Green, Ranged)]

Description: Can fire specially designed crossbow bolts that penetrate the armor of ordinary monsters; reload speed is relatively fast. Base firepower: 35.

"It's a good item for level two and three people, but it's useless to me right now. I can sell it."

He glanced at the third one a couple more times.

Energy Transfer Tower (Architectural Blueprint)

Description: Can be built on the external extension structure of the cable car to stably transmit the core energy of the cable car to a distance of more than 100 meters.

Effect: Placing one every 100 meters extends the cable car's operational range. After the first cable car is built, the radius of the cable car's auxiliary buildings increases by 100 meters.

Restrictions: It must be built within the cable car extension structure or territory, and a maximum of five cable cars can exist at the same time before the main cable car body is upgraded.

Note: There is slight energy loss during transmission, with a loss rate of approximately 3% per 100 meters.

Su Mu finished reading the line of text, and his eyes lit up slightly.

nice one.

He knew that his cable car was now a Class 5 vehicle, with some wooden planks laid on the outside, which limited the range of movement he could make.

But once he expands the cable car's external structure, this energy transfer tower will be of great use.

Especially when it comes to deploying automatic defenses or external structures in the future, this thing is practically like extending the cable car's arms and legs outwards.

"This is a good deal." He put the blueprints away.

The fourth image is a restaurant blueprint.

Mobile food truck (architectural drawings - green)

Description: It can be attached to the exterior of the cable car to provide a cooking and food storage space, slightly improving living comfort.

"Comfort is also a factor," Su Mu thought to himself, then turned around and asked Lin Yuwei to check which ones were usable.

He packed everything of value into his backpack.

He thought about the remaining daily necessities he had looted from the wandering people and decided not to throw them away. He took everything that was usable, even though they weren't worth much money, it was better than leaving them on the corpses to feed the sand.

After doing all that, he looked up at the sky.

The night fog had already begun to rise from the sand dunes further west, a hazy gray expanse slowly advancing along the ground. Judging from last night's timing, it would be completely dark in just a few minutes.

He glanced around; the desert was eerily quiet. The small creatures that could occasionally be seen during the day had all vanished, as if some force had wiped them off the ground.

"It's time to go back," Su Mu thought to himself.

He could have searched for the other teams from the Sakura Kingdom in the vicinity and removed those hidden spies as well. But once night fell, even he didn't want to play hide-and-seek with those eerie creatures in a completely unfamiliar desert.

He walked towards the teleportation point.

The wind swept up from behind him, carrying a strong earthy smell.

......

When Su Mu returned to the cable car, Lin Yuwei was sitting in a corner of the cable car, staring at a certain spot.

But his gaze was clearly unfocused, as if he had been staring at something for a long time, yet it also seemed like he hadn't absorbed anything at all.

Hearing the hatch close, she turned her head sharply.

Seeing Su Mu standing at the door, she relaxed completely, her shoulders visibly slumping down by half an inch.

"You're finally back," she said, her voice softer than usual. "I've been watching your health bar."

Su Mu looked at her, and a soft spot in his heart softened. She sat under the warm yellow light, her eyes showing some fatigue; clearly, she hadn't rested much that night.

"I didn't lose much blood," he said, putting his backpack against the wall and sitting down next to her.

"I know." Lin Yuwei put away the panel. "I just didn't know the situation! If you died, wouldn't all my talent be wasted?"

Su Mu smiled but didn't reply, only handing her a bottle of water. She took it and drank a small sip, and the two of them remained quiet for a while.

"What exactly is the situation with those monsters you mentioned before?" Lin Yuwei asked first.

Su Mu leaned back and slowly said, "That secret realm is called the Abyss Secret Realm. The monsters guarding the gate can talk and have their own way of communicating; they are not ordinary wild beasts."

Moreover, those gatekeepers can be resurrected, and they become stronger each time they die, their rank keeps jumping up, and their level can catch up.

I checked with the scope; the first few were level 15 white, and they leveled up to level 19 yellow later. Although it eventually dropped back to a lower level, you can't judge that by normal standards.

Lin Yuwei's brows furrowed deeper as she listened: "It can talk, it can cooperate, and it can even resurrect and become stronger... You still dare to fight this monster until now?"

Su Mu smiled and said, "The number of times they can be resurrected is not unlimited. The later they go, the slower they recover. And I've tried it; once the entrance to that secret realm disappears, they are truly dead when they die again."

Lin Yuwei was silent for a moment, then said solemnly, "You should not go into this abyss secret realm for the time being."

She looked at Su Mu, her tone serious and somewhat harsh: "If the things guarding the gate are already this bad, it'll only be more outrageous inside. Your current strength is fine for navigating the outside, but inside the secret realm, the environment, rules, and monster mechanics are all unknown. At least wait until you've gathered more information, or until you have better survival skills, before considering it."

Su Mu nodded: "I know. I have the key, but I won't go now."

Lin Yuwei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then added, "It's best not to go alone."

Su Mu glanced at her and smiled, "What, you want to come in with me?"

Lin Yuwei turned her face away: "I didn't say that. But if we absolutely have to go, at least we need to have a reliable person guarding outside."

Su Mu stopped teasing her and took out the spoils from his backpack one by one. He then recounted how he had obtained the mission token and world token from the monster that day.

After listening, Lin Yuwei pointed to the items and asked, "So all these quests come from those gatekeeper monsters?"

"Yes," Su Mu said, "a cable quest token, a world quest token, and a key to the entrance to the abyss."

Lin Yuwei nodded, turned around and took out a small cloth bag from the bottom of her storage compartment. Inside were several fist-sized, dark yellow fruits with tortoise-shell-like patterns on their skin.
