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

Su Mu closed his eyes, intending to take a nap and recharge.

But he lay there for a long time, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Not sleepy.

Not only am I not sleepy, but I'm also very energetic, my mind as clear as if I'd just had two cups of espresso.

Su Mu was taken aback.

He remembered the two sips of blood ginseng medicinal wine he had just drunk... that stuff had the effect of relieving fatigue. He originally thought it was just to "relieve fatigue", but he didn't expect the effect to be so strong, so strong that it made it impossible for him to fall asleep.

"I should have known better than to drink it..." Su Mu muttered to himself as he sat up from the ground.

Since I can't sleep, I'll get to work.

He opened the daily intelligence interface.

[Current available uses: 1]

【use or not? 】

confirm.

[Intelligence: There is an abandoned gas station approximately 12 kilometers from your current cable car. There is a bronze treasure chest there. Please note that a Lv5 mutated creature is active in this area.]

Su Mu frowned as he looked at the intelligence report.

One piece of information: a single bronze treasure chest, guarded by a level 5 monster.

Is my luck really that bad today?

He flipped through the previous intelligence records... Day 1: Silver treasure chest and bronze treasure chest; Day 2: Bronze treasure chest and lucky wheel; Day 3: A purple-quality blood ginseng. Every day was a double harvest, but today there was only a bronze treasure chest, and it was guarded by a level 5 monster.

A distance of 12 kilometers.

The cable car had stopped running, so he had to walk. Even as the crow flies, it would take at least an hour to walk there, and with the time spent searching and fighting, it would take at least three or four hours.

Spend three or four hours to get a bronze treasure chest, and then have to face a level 5 monster?

Not cost-effective.

Su Mu kept this intelligence in mind, but did not decide to take immediate action.

But when he mentioned level 5 monsters, he remembered something else.

That's a military base.

That military base contained what she called "level five monsters," as well as an armory.

Yesterday, he used a liquefied gas cylinder to blow up the base, causing a secondary explosion in the ammunition depot. The system notification clearly stated...

[Kill a Lv5 mutated creature, gain 20 experience points.]

That level 5 monster has been blown up.

Su Mu's eyes slowly brightened.

In other words, that military base most likely no longer has any level 5 monsters.

And that base might contain an armory, treasure chests, various supplies, and even boxes dropped by the monsters that were blown up last night... Perhaps what he needs is in those boxes.

More importantly, that military base is not far from where he is now.

The cable car stopped in the middle of the night last night, and he happened to be passing through that area at the time. Now the cable car is stopped in place, and the military base should be a few kilometers away.

It takes at most half an hour to walk there.

Instead of spending three or four hours trying to get a bronze treasure chest, you might as well spend an hour checking out the military base; you might find something better there.

Su Mu had made up his mind and was preparing to pack his things to leave when a private message popped up.

Sender: Lin Yuwei.

[Lin Yuwei: Are you there?]

Su Mu frowned and replied, "Speak."

[Lin Yuwei: I remember I still owe you some information?]

Su Mu raised an eyebrow slightly.

When did this woman become so proactive? He didn't even mention the information he owed her, but she brought it up herself first.

"Yes," he replied, "you finally remembered."

Lin Yuwei ignored his question and instead sent him a message: "I have some intelligence. There's a level 3 monster and a spinning wheel about ten kilometers ahead. Do you want it?"

Su Mu's eyes lit up slightly.

Level 3 monsters and a roulette wheel... these two things together mean high risk, high reward. As long as you can defeat the guardian monster, the roulette wheel is basically a guaranteed profit.

"Yes," he replied without hesitation, but then added, "But... why are you being so kind as to give me this kind of information?"

Lin Yuwei did not answer.

Su Mu thought for a moment, then sent another message: "Could it be that you were just unlucky and felt like you'd wasted your time going, so you gave it to me?"

There was a long silence on the other end.

Then, Lin Yuwei's message finally popped up, her tone tinged with impatience: "Take it or leave it. There's one condition... If you spin the wheel and get something I can use, sell it to me at half price."

Su Mu stared at the words, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Half price?

With his talent, what good things come out of the roulette wheel is entirely up to him. Even if he sells it to Lin Yuwei at half price, he'll still make a killing.

"Okay," he replied. "Deal."

Lin Yuwei didn't say anything more and directly sent over the information... a precise coordinate.

Su Mu noted down the coordinates, closed the chat window, leaned against the wall, and fell into deep thought.

He now has two pieces of intelligence.

One is what Lin Yuwei just gave me... a university campus a dozen kilometers ahead, a resource roulette wheel, and a level three monster.

The other one is from the daily intelligence report... an abandoned gas station 12 kilometers ahead, a bronze treasure chest, and a level 5 monster.

The two places are not far apart, both within a dozen kilometers. However, both places have a problem: they are far apart, taking at least three or four hours to travel back and forth, and the monsters there are not low-level.

Su Mu hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to go to the military base that had been bombed the night before.

The reason is simple... that base is only a few kilometers away from his current location, an hour's walk away. Moreover, the level 5 monsters in the base have already been killed, leaving only the treasure chests dropped by the monsters killed last night, as well as possible armories and supplies.

These kinds of "bargain hunting" opportunities, once missed, are truly gone. As for the gas station and the bronze treasure chest, it doesn't matter whether you go or not. As for the university campus coordinates Lin Yuwei gave you, it doesn't matter if you go a little later... after all, that location is already in the city, and it will definitely be dropped once.

If you can find enough experience points and supplies at the military base to level up, you'll have a much better chance of defeating the level 3 and level 5 monsters.

It should be noted that the coordinates Lin Yuwei provided to him were more than ten kilometers away, while the abandoned gas station mentioned in the daily intelligence was only twelve kilometers away, where even a bronze treasure chest was guarded by a level five monster.

Logically speaking, this is somewhat unusual... How could there be only a level 3 monster guarding the roulette wheel in such a place?

Su Mu thought that this level 3 monster might be very dangerous, so he decided to go to the military base first, and even decided to upgrade his level to level 5 today.

Having made up his mind, Su Mu stood up and began packing his equipment.
