Su Lin silently calculated in his mind: "Considering that the rankings in the waiting area are somewhat public, and that some survivor talents only need to be known by their [name] to take effect initially, this is actually quite disadvantageous for me."
"I'm in the open, and they're in the shadows... I can't influence the game mechanics. The only solution is to advance quickly, leave the current waiting area, and get out of their sight."
Su Lin understood very well that the more people watching the spectacle, the more trouble and accidents would follow.
When Su Lin took on assassination jobs after retiring from the military, his biggest annoyance was attracting attention, which greatly affected his efficiency in completing the tasks.
Thinking back to the past, Su Lin fell silent, a rare, faint sense of emotion welling up inside her.
He learned martial arts from a young age, lived far from his parents, and was sent to the army as soon as he came of age. He was sent abroad for peacekeeping due to his outstanding performance, but was later discharged from the military for committing a serious mistake.
Before returning to China, he felt ashamed to face his parents. He worked as a mercenary abroad to earn money, intending to save enough to support his parents. However, a few years later, he suddenly learned that his parents had died.
After her parents died, Su Lin was heartbroken. After returning to China, she found a job at a debt collection company and spent her days doing nothing until the escape game came along.
Su Lin thought carefully about the past twenty years he had lived. He had honed his fighting skills, but they were useless in peacetime.
But he's not good at anything other than fighting.
In pursuit of self-worth, he has never had a moment's rest in his life. He is neither good nor evil, and lives in a gray area.
"Perhaps this transformation is just the beginning of a new life for me, and the meaning of my existence."
Su Lin muttered to himself as he glanced at the forum's content, which was mostly attention-grabbing stuff.
The place is rife with scammers and rumors, revealing a thirst for and madness for profit.
Some idolize the strong, some rally supporters and form teams, some sell strategy guides, and some hoard goods to inflate prices...
It must be said that humans have an incredible capacity for adaptation.
Within the survival game's "resource currency is king" mechanism, everyone is ruthlessly plundering more resource currency, morality and bottom lines are constantly being torn apart, and all kinds of betrayals and insults are being staged everywhere.
Su Lin was too lazy to look at these human love and hate stories, and after confirming that there was no valuable information, he simply shut down the forum.
Just then, the dormitory door opened, and Xiao Linlin skipped back.
"Big brother, I've got it done!"
Standing next to Su Lin, Xiao Linlin spoke sweetly, taking out a new written report: "Look! I've purchased all the necessary upgrade materials, and I've also sorted out some things in the warehouse. What needed to be sold has been sold, and what needed to be kept is still here."
"You just need to confirm it, and it'll be done in a flash!"
"Oh, is it that simple?"
Su Lin looked at her jokingly, and after a brief glance, she followed Xiao Linlin's instructions.
Soon after, a series of notifications appeared in front of Su Lin, deducting the corresponding resource coins.
[Successfully sold some items, gaining 565,872 resource coins.]
[Personal warehouse successfully upgraded to x3! Consumed 111,000 resource coins.]
The current warehouse is level 3 and can hold 1000 different types of items.
[Dormitory area successfully upgraded to x3! 310,000 resource coins consumed.]
[Currently a resident of a Level 5 dormitory area, you will receive a 20% boost to all physical stats! You will also gain the "Free Healing" function! You will receive the "Enhanced Rest Effect" function! You will receive the "Healing from Curses and Other Special Status Abilities" function!]
[Skill Training Area Upgraded x2! Costs 11,000 Resource Coins.]
[Currently at level 2 in the skill training area, you will receive a 5% boost to the final effect of all skills! And a 1% boost to the final effect of follower skills!]
[Follower Settlement Area Upgrade x1! Costs 1000 Resource Coins.]
[Currently at level 1 in the resettlement area, all personal followers' stats are increased by 1%, and the probability of "Follower Learning and Comprehension" is increased.]
[Skill Research Area Upgrade x3! Consumes 111,000 Resource Coins.]
[Currently at level 3 in the skill research zone, the automatic personal skill research function is enabled, allowing one personal skill to be successfully researched every 24 hours! Skill quality is determined by the zone level!]
......
After receiving a dense array of information prompts, Su Lin roughly calculated that they were all logistics configuration modules that he could use.
The dormitory level determines the improvement of the survivor's overall stats, the skill training area affects skill effects, the skill research area allows you to obtain new skills for free, and the follower area allows you to make your followers stronger... All of these are in place, which are all things that Su Lin originally wanted to do.
"Where's the talent area? Why hasn't it been upgraded?"
Su Lin looked at Xiao Linlin and asked a question. Xiao Linlin quickly gave her opinion: "I know that big brother's talent is SSS level; if the logistics configuration of the talent zone is too low, it will not be able to affect your SSS level talent."
"It requires a large investment of assets to affect your talent. This should be considered a restriction on high-level talents, who cannot enjoy the related logistical support effects as quickly as low-level talents."
"Considering that my older brother's assets are not yet sufficient, I have voluntarily suspended the upgrade of the talent zone. It won't be a big deal if I wait until my older brother has more money to consider this matter."
After Xiao Linlin finished answering with a smile, Su Lin chuckled and said, "What kind of talk is that? Aren't my assets enough?"
With total assets exceeding 7 million, he is the world's richest survivor!
