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

Su Mu was stunned.

He glanced at the other party's asking price section... it was empty.

There was nothing there.

In other words, he can get the blueprint for free simply by clicking "confirm".

Su Mu stared at the blank price list, his finger hovering over the confirmation button, but he didn't press it.

Things that are free are often the most expensive.

He understands this principle all too well.

"What do you mean?" Su Mu asked.

"No need to guess." Lin Yuwei replied quickly. "I know this is what you need most right now. Otherwise, given your personality, after I mentioned you leveled up to level three and asked you to check out the new features, you definitely wouldn't have the nerve to come and talk to me again."

When Su Mu saw this message, he felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind.

Was Lao Tzu making it that obvious?

But then he thought again... it wasn't that he was being too obvious, it was that this woman was too shrewd. From yesterday until now, she had calculated every single step of his life.

He was still thinking about how to refute her when Lin Yuwei's next message arrived:

"You've just reached level three in the cable car, so your next goal should definitely be to level up your personal rank as well. What you need most right now is bullets... You have the blueprints, but what about the materials? You can get some copper and gunpowder by collecting them in the channel, but as for the crafting table, I'm the only one who has it right now. So your target should definitely be me."

Su Mu was completely speechless.

Is this woman an accountant? A supervisor? He seriously doubted she had studied psychology. No, leaders seem to be good at figuring out what their subordinates are thinking.

He forced a smile and replied, "In this situation, shouldn't you be asking for an exorbitant amount?"

"Yes, they're asking for an exorbitant amount."

Su Mu looked at the message, then at the blank asking price field... What kind of outrageous demand is this?

"So I didn't ask for anything," Lin Yuwei said.

Su Mu was even more confused: "Isn't this contradictory?"

"It's not contradictory," Lin Yuwei said, "because what I want, you can't give me right now."

"What is it?"

"Right to stay overnight in the dormitory."

Su Mu nearly popped his eyes out. What on earth was this all about?

"Simply put, you need to reserve your spot in the dormitory for me," Lin Yuwei explained. "If my cable car can't hold up one day, I will send you a request, and you must accept it."

Su Mu stared at the passage, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly understood.

His current cable car has the Forerunner achievement, which allows him to directly invite others to stay together without needing to form a team or enter from the evacuation point simultaneously. If Lin Yuwei's cable car is destroyed or encounters any mortal danger, as long as she sends a request from the cable car on the mountain, he can confirm it and she can be directly teleported to his cable car.

This is equivalent to having an extra life.

This woman... she's really asking for an exorbitant amount.

The value of this "training right" far exceeds that of a blueprint for building a platform.

But after thinking about it, Su Mu still clicked "confirm".

There are three reasons.

First, he does need to build a platform right now, and it's a necessity.

Secondly, Lin Yuwei, though shrewd, is not stupid. Since she considers this spot her trump card, she won't waste it easily. In other words, she won't bother him until the cable car truly collapses.

And he's not bad looking, ugh, I'm a respectable person...

Of course, the third... and most importantly... is that even if she does come, he owns the cable car. If she has any ulterior motives, he can kick her out at any time.

This deal is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

The transaction is complete.

The blueprints for the construction platform appeared in his hands.

Su Mu didn't say much, but before closing the chat window, he typed a line:

"It's not good for a woman to be too smart."

Lin Yuwei's reply consisted of only a few words:

"I just want to live."

Su Mu looked at the message, remained silent for a few seconds, and did not reply.

Yes.

All she wanted was to survive.

Who in this world isn't?

He shook his head, stopped thinking about it, opened the cable car settings, found the accommodation permission section... and turned off the switch to "Allow others to initiate accommodation requests", making it only available to Lin Yuwei.

You must keep your promises.

Furthermore, he didn't want others to discover that he was the one who had been promoted to level three.

Keeping a low profile is always the most important thing.

After finishing these tasks, Su Mu took out the blueprints for the crafting table and took a deep breath.

[Craft "Crafting Table (Lv1)"? Requires 3 Iron Ingots, 1 High-Strength Glass Essence, and 5 Wood.]

confirm.

The materials disappeared from his backpack, and a faint light gathered inside the cable car. This time, it took less than five minutes, and a metal workbench, slightly larger than a crafting table, appeared before him.

The countertop is more spacious, the structure is more complex, and there are several pull-out drawers on both sides.

Su Mu couldn't wait to open the crafting platform interface.

Sure enough... a new section called "Equipment Crafting" has been added.

He clicked on it, and the [9mm bullet manufacturing blueprint (green)] was prominently listed.

Su Mu rubbed his hands together and opened the creation interface.

Unlike the crafting station, the crafting station's interface is more like a control panel, with a numeric keypad where you can directly input the quantity to be produced.

He took a deep breath and typed "999".

[Detected "9mm bullet manufacturing blueprint (green)". Should 999 copies be manufactured?]

Each batch requires: 1 copper, 1 gunpowder

[Current Materials: None]

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

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

[To produce?]

"Production".

crackling sounds...

The sound of bullets hitting the ground exploded in the cable car, like a torrential downpour hitting a tin roof, dense, crisp, and continuous.

The gleaming yellow shell casings bounced, rolled, and collided on the ground, making a pleasant metallic sound. 999 bullets poured out of the forging table, piling up into a small mountain at Su Mu's feet.

Su Mu squatted down, picked up a handful of bullets, and let them slip through his fingers.

The coppery sheen gleamed under the light; each bullet was brand new and hard, its tip gleaming with a cold, sharp light.

He picked up a bullet and examined it closely... The cartridge case was smooth, the primer was intact, and the bullet tip was sharp; it was no different from the ones produced by the system.

[9mm bullet (green) x1]

[Effect: Upon hitting a target, there is a 30% chance to trigger a minor explosion, dealing additional damage.]

Su Mu couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

He took the pistol out of his chest holster and loaded it one shot at a time.

Click. Click. Click.

With the magazine full of six rounds, he fastened the cylinder and weighed it in his hand. It was heavy, exuding a sense of power.

He divided the remaining bullets and stuffed some into the three pockets of his tactical chest rig... where item retrieval speed was increased by 30% and reloading was half a second faster. The rest he packed into plastic bags he had found earlier and piled them in a corner of the cable car.

After doing all this, Su Mu leaned against the wall, placed the M500 on his lap, and looked through the glass at the thick fog outside the window.

It was still pitch black outside.

But you can sense something swirling in the black fog outside.

Su Mu stared at the blurry figures, his fingers tapping lightly on the gun barrel.

Come on.
