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

He did not hesitate any longer.

"Choose three."

[Selection successful.]

The gilded card transformed into specks of light and merged into his body.

Su Mu immediately pulled out the [9mm bullet manufacturing blueprint] from his backpack, took a deep breath, and with a thought...

[A "9mm bullet manufacturing blueprint (green)" has been detected. Produce it?]

confirm.

[Materials Required: Copper x1, Gunpowder x1]

[Current Materials: None]

[Estimated total value of materials: less than 1 rare crystal]

[Talent "Mass Production" triggered: No materials are consumed, and no production time is required.]

[To produce?]

Su Mu's pupils contracted slightly.

Really!

"Production".

The next second, a bright yellow bullet appeared in his hand.

The bronze-colored cartridge cases and sharp bullets gleamed coldly under the light.

[9mm bullet (green) x1]

[Effect: Upon hitting a target, there is a 30% chance to trigger a minor explosion, dealing additional damage. Requires a green-tier weapon and compatible firearms.]

Su Mu held the bullet, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The bet was won.

Then Su Mu quickly walked to the production table.

Open the production interface...

However... apart from one trap crafting option, the entire craftable menu was empty.

Su Mu frowned, stared at the production interface for a few seconds, and suddenly slapped his forehead.

The crafting table is for making basic items... like bear traps and wooden arrows. Bullets, on the other hand, are equipment and require...

Create a platform.

The crafting station is for making and repairing equipment.

That thing is now in Lin Yuwei's hands.

"Dry!"

Su Mu cursed, leaned against the wall, and looked depressed.

He was just missing this final step. Without a crafting table, all he had—the blueprints and his talent—was powerless. His daily allowance of a thousand free bullets was being wasted.

He opened the chat window with Lin Yuwei, his finger hovering over the input field, but he didn't type anything.

How do I start the conversation?

Given that woman's shrewdness, the moment he asks about the crafting platform, she'll immediately guess how desperate he is for it. At that point, forget about giving it away for free; she'll be merciful if she doesn't skin him alive.

profiteer.

Su Mu cursed inwardly again, then began to carefully consider his words. Should he ask something else first, casually mentioning the crafting platform? Or use something else as bait to get her to bring it out voluntarily?

As he was thinking, a notification suddenly popped up on the system interface...

[Lin Yuwei requests to stay overnight together, should you accept?]

Su Mu was taken aback.

What the hell?

Before he could react, the notification disappeared...

Lin Yuwei withdrew her request to stay overnight together.

Su Mu stared at the screen, his mind filled with questions.

Before he could even send a message to ask, Lin Yuwei's message popped up first:

"It really was you. Liar."

Su Mu's brow twitched, feeling a little guilty, but he refused to admit it on the surface: "What did I lie to you about?"

"Go check out the two new features yourself."

Su Mu frowned, opened the system panel, and found the description of the newly opened function.

[Description of the Accommodation Program]

You may invite others to stay overnight in your cable car if you meet one of the following conditions:

Invitation process: The inviter initiates the camping trip → The invitee confirms → Both parties simultaneously enter the teleportation vortex from the same retreat position → The invitee is teleported to the inviter's cable car.

The process for requesting a host is the same as above.

[Permissions Instructions]

The owner of the cable car has absolute rights to the cable car:

The invitee is not allowed to cause any harm to the owner while inside the cable car.

Invitees may not take any items from inside the cable car without the owner's permission.

The owner may terminate the stay at any time and expel the invitees from the cable car.

Special privileges: If the cable car reaches level 8 or you have the "Pioneer" achievement (the first person to upgrade the cable car to level 3), you can directly invite others to enter the cable car. If the other party accepts, they can directly enter the cable car.

The requester is the same as above.

The maximum number of cable car invitations is 1.

Su Mu raised an eyebrow after reading it.

The rules are completely one-sided. The invitees are basically "guests" in the cable car... no, they're not even guests, they're more like tenants living under someone else's roof, the kind who could be kicked out at any time.

This kind of completely unequal training camp would probably only be accepted by those whose cable cars have been destroyed and who have nowhere else to turn.

However, his attention was quickly drawn to the second point...

[Team Function Description]

Survivors at level 3 and above can form teams, currently capped at 2 players. In team mode:

Teammate immunity: Teammates cannot deal damage to each other.

Experience sharing: When the two sides are within 100 meters of each other, the experience gained from killing monsters is split equally.

Resource allocation: The allocation ratio can be customized.

Team restrictions: You can freely form teams on and off the cable car, but once you form a team on the cable car, you cannot leave the team during the descent until you return to the cable car.

After reading it, Su Mu roughly understood that if you team up on the cable car, you can't use backstabs, but if you team up down below, it's dangerous. Also, having teammates who can avoid damage is a good thing, so you don't have to worry about accidentally hurting someone.

After reading these two explanations, Su Mu finally understood what Lin Yuwei meant by her request for a shared accommodation earlier.

She was testing the waters.

Those who have the "Pioneer" achievement can directly invite others to stay together without needing to form a team or enter from the extraction point at the same time.

She sent that request to see if the system would prompt something like "the other party has not met the conditions"... If it did, it meant she guessed wrong; if the request popped up directly, it meant the other party was the one who had leveled up to level three.

Her request popped up successfully... Although she canceled it immediately, the answer was already obvious.

This woman's mind changes way too fast.

Damn it, if I had known this, I would have just accepted it directly. Let's see if you don't get burned by playing with fire.

Su Mu closed the function description and reopened the chat box with Lin Yuwei.

"Okay, I'm coming clean, I'm not pretending anymore. I upgraded the cable car to level three."

"Shameless."

Su Mu's lips twitched as he looked at those two words. He had originally wanted to retort, but then he remembered that he had indeed said something like "No, it's just something I prepared in advance," and now that he had been exposed, there was nothing to argue about.

He remained silent for a few seconds, quickly calculating in his mind how to steer the conversation toward the crafting platform.

Just then, a transaction request popped up.

It was sent by Lin Yuwei.

The crafting table blueprint was prominently displayed in the trade window.
