Chapter 129 Wasting Resources, No. 2333 (Can be named)...
The lava river rushed up, shouting about its original aspirations and dreams.
Shen Dixin didn't understand why, but she found him much more pleasing to the eye, and she became much more polite in her actions.
She said it was out of politeness, but she didn't hold back at all. Professionals are indeed different. Lava River used her physical strength to her advantage, and even a horse could hardly catch up with her.
However, among the changing moves he made, Shen Dixin actually sensed a trace of familiarity. Unable to figure it out, she simply accepted the new round of the Heart of a Strongman.
[You have inherited player 4233's shattered [Heart of the Strong], gaining a 25% buff: a 7% increase in all attributes.]
It's only 1% more than last time, which shows that accumulating the power of the strong is not easy, especially as the game progresses and weaker players are eliminated.
Let alone convincing them to willingly give up the will to fight, finding someone who meets the talent criteria is no easy task.
Shen Dixin compensated him with supplies to prevent him from surviving the disaster.
Just as they were about to leave, Lava River spoke up. Although he had once again been defeated by a powerful enemy, his eyes were bright as he excitedly examined his hands. The flickering flames were a brilliance that Shen Dixin had never seen before.
"Let me join your fleet, I am not weak."
Shen Dixin stared intently at the young man before him—who seemed to have suddenly become ten years younger—and sent someone to fetch coffee.
She suddenly felt a little reluctant to defeat the lava river for the third time. This person's tenacity reminded Shen Dixin of the days when she struggled in the arena.
Only after she completely overcame her feelings of disgust did she realize that those dark memories were actually a good thing; what didn't kill her made her stronger, just like the lava river now, which had been reborn.
Perhaps it was because she sensed that the goal wasn't unattainable? Shen Dixin straightened her head. No, she had to become stronger!
She couldn't wait to get to the island. Special island events like this don't happen at the same time as disasters, and if she missed it, she'd have to wait another week.
The engineers' progress was truly slow, and Chen Dixin couldn't wait any longer. He whistled to summon the parrot, "Hanming, take me to the harbor."
Hanming nodded and flew to the highest point of the sail, where even the strongest sea wind could not move its small body.
Every so often, Hanming would instruct Chen Dixin to adjust the course of the voyage, and soon they arrived at their destination.
Shen Dixin praised it, saying it was practically a live GPS tracker.
Hanming shook its feathers, quite pleased with itself, but the next second it told her, "I'm going home!"
It's going to find the one-eyed captain. The little guy probably hasn't been away from its owner much since it was born, right? Shen Dixin thought as he watched it fly away.
Shen Dixin stormed into the engineer's shop and saw him working diligently as soon as she entered. "Excuse me, how long will it take to make my [item]?" she asked.
"Almost there, almost there." He said without looking up.
"I brought some materials with me, see if any of them are usable."
With a flick of her wrist, she pulled out an unknown sea beast tendon from her waist, removed several heavy pieces of shell, and then took out a basket of materials from her spatial storage, all of which she had collected from the chat channel.
The craftsmen in the game haven't progressed to the point where they can use purple materials, so it's easy for them to purchase them.
As the desk gradually filled up, the materials even touched the engineer's elbows. He looked up, adjusted his glasses, and examined them carefully.
"Huh?"
The engineer casually flipped through the materials and actually found a few useful ones.
He thought for a moment, finished his work, and focused on helping Shen Dixin assess the value of the materials.
"Hunyang Mine, Snowflake Fur, Cangyan..."
He muttered to himself, sketching symbols in his notebook that only he could understand.
"The pile of 433 white coins on the left and the pile of 856 white coins on the right can be used on your □".
"Please pack them all for me." Shen Dixing waved her hand, making it look like she was doing a big shopping spree at the supermarket.
The engineer, however, wore an expression as if he had expected this, and he tapped the crossbow body with a show of smugness.
"I deliberately made it a size larger, so there won't be any problems with any subsequent modifications!"
Finally able to pull herself away from the situation, the engineer pulled out a chair for Shen Dixin.
"sit."
He took a sip of water and then got back to work.
"Not so fast. This crossbow was originally supposed to be finished, but with the modifications... it will take at least five more hours."
Shen Dixin glanced at the time; it was enough.
She certainly wouldn't just sit idly for those five hours; she had to get everything arranged properly before the deadline.
The disaster preparedness guide and calendar, which had been compiled well in advance, were entrusted to Lu Mingang.
When Shen Dixin met his worried gaze, she thought of something else entirely.
"Our contract expires in three weeks, right?"
She definitely won't be back for three weeks. Should we hand the things over to Tao Ling? The other teammates all signed indentured servitude contracts, only Lu Mingang signed early and was able to regain his freedom.
You can know a person's face but not their heart. Even if Lu Mingang seems loyal and trustworthy, without the binding force of a contract, Shen Dixin would not entrust such an important thing to him.
If the strategy guides sold from her shop are counted as contributions, then this will be the key to her maintaining her contribution value title even while in the arena.
To his surprise, when he heard this, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, staring at her as if she were some kind of heartless person.
"Dixin, you want to send me away? No way! What did I do wrong?"
Shen Dixin opened her mouth, but was interrupted before she could speak. This was the first time Lu Mingang had been so reckless in front of her.
"I can make gold-level dishes now, at least ten a day. The cost of processing the ingredients alone is not low, so it's very profitable. Don't leave me behind!"
"I'm still pretty good at fighting!"
Lu Mingang lifted the giant bone hammer with one hand. A hammer that isn't heavy isn't authentic; a single swing would either kill or cripple the user.
Shen Dixin was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "We can sign a new one."
"Just like coffee and the others."
Surely he'll be satisfied with a full-fledged servant contract? It's normal for him to have concerns since his guaranteed tenure isn't as long as other employees'!
"good!"
Lu Mingang readily agreed, but upon hearing the last sentence, his head visibly drooped.
With the contract in place, Shen Dixin's smile seemed to soften a bit.
Go out to sea to catch a few fish, open some crates, organize some supplies... a few hours passed quickly.
Shen Dixin played with her breasts with great affection. The several modifications attached to them did not seem cumbersome at all, but rather resembled unique patterns.
【Item Name: Item No. 2333 (Can be named)】
Item Quality: Gold
【Durability: 4500/4500】
[Equipment Attributes: Strength 12, Agility 8]
[Equipment Effects: Retrieval (fired bolts are retrieved after five seconds), Tracking (fired bolts automatically correct their landing point), Poisoning (damage from bolts inflicts a minor poison effect, stacking up to three times), Split (fired bolts have a chance to split into multiples), Wind Chaser (Instantly teleports to the nearest bolt that hasn't landed; one-hour cooldown).]
[Item Description: Although I refuse to acknowledge that such a complex weapon was made by him, it is indeed the masterpiece of the bald engineer!]
Redundant is not a bad adjective; on the contrary, it points out that the materials used in the □□ were extremely high-quality, even wasteful, with many materials that could be used as the main materials for other weapons being used as scraps.
Even if most people had the means, they wouldn't be willing to waste materials like that.
At Shen Dixin's request, the engineers used the most expensive parts instead of cheaper ones with similar functions in certain areas, which was a complete waste of resources!
