Chapter 44 Upgrading to Tier 3 Ships
Xiao Zhi remained rooted to the spot, seemingly unable to comprehend Ming Zhao's meaning.
"I see you... well, you have extraordinary talent. You're definitely not an ordinary robot vacuum cleaner. How about you become my AI assistant from now on? I'll give you access to my trading platform and group chat."
Xiao Zhi's voice was still a flat, electronic tone, but Ming Zhao could detect a hint of excitement in it.
"I can give it a try! I have a huge database that can help you find all the recorded knowledge."
Mingzhao was too lazy to expose it. What kind of database could a robot vacuum cleaner possibly have? It must have used hacking skills to infiltrate some database.
"Let me test your skills first. I'll give you all my stock of materials."
"I need a microcontroller unit, and the only materials of the same type I have right now are lateral propulsion systems and other common materials. You should be able to see all the transaction records that have ever appeared in the trading hall and all the chat records in the group chat. See how you can help me get it with the fewest resources."
Xiao Zhi: "Understood, I'll start searching and calculating now."
After saying that, Xiao Zhi proactively connected his interface to Ming Zhao's panel, and a loading symbol appeared on the screen.
Mingzhao was just about to sit down and rest when, less than a minute later, the loading symbol disappeared.
Xiao Zhi: "According to the calculation, a total of 8 transaction routes were obtained."
Mingzhao was shocked. You see, she had asked the beautiful young man to find this microcontroller for a long time, and she herself would check the trading platform from time to time.
However, microcontrollers are one of the key materials for upgrading trivalent ships. They are epic-level materials and usually require the same epic-level materials to exchange for.
Mingzhao currently only has a lateral thrust system, and hasn't yet found someone who needs it and has a microcontroller unit.
"You choose the one with the highest success rate and tell me about it."
“Okay. First, we’ll trade the Side Thrust System for the [Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon] Extra Spicy Chili Sauce and Wang Zhihe Stinky Tofu, plus 20 upgrade cards. He hadn’t been able to acquire the Side Thrust System before, but he had listed these strong-flavored foods on the trading system.”
"Then there's this guy, 'Wishing for One Heart.' He's a tobacco and alcohol distributor from Jiangxi. He's posted in the group multiple times saying he'd die if he couldn't eat chili peppers. We traded him super spicy chili sauce for liquor and two cartons of cigarettes."
“This person, the nun of Shuiyue Nunnery, is a fanatical lover of exotic foods. We’ll trade her Wangzhihe stinky tofu for a razor and a pair of scissors.”
"This man, the 'long-haired monkey,' was handing out razors everywhere, desperately needing to trim his fur, but because he only had betel nuts to exchange, no one was willing to give them back to him. We traded our razors and scissors for two packs of betel nuts from him."
"Then there's this guy, [Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King]. He has another epic-level material, the Smart Balancer. We traded it with him for liquor, cigarettes, and betel nuts. This guy usually brings cigarettes, liquor, and betel nuts, but after entering the game, all his resources were used to trade for these things."
"Then we'll use this smart balancer to trade for the epic material, the high-throughput fuel engine, for the 'Speak Out Against Injustice' campaign."
"Then we'll use this high-throughput combustion engine to exchange for the epic-grade material AI quality control chip for the [Rampaging Little Yellow Duck]."
"Then we'll use the AI quality control chip to replace the epic-level material for the 'Never-Lost Love' fully automated freight crane."
"Finally, replace the microcontroller of the 'King of Slacking Off' with the fully automatic freight crane, and you're all set."
"How about that? Isn't it simple? Do you want to hear about the other seven options?"
Mingzhao: ...No wonder she and the beautiful young warrior haven't received it for so many days. The human brain really can't compare to a machine.
"No need, I've already seen your strength, so I'll leave this deal to you. Here are the other materials I need to upgrade my Tier 3 ship, I'll give them all to you."
Ash spun around in place; this was the first time he had been recognized since he was created.
"Mission accomplished!"
With Xiaozhi, Mingzhao no longer needs to keep an eye on the trading platform and group chats, giving him much more time to do his own things.
It's so hot today. Even wearing a waterproof jacket, it's still quite uncomfortable to stay outdoors for a long time.
Mingzhao gave up on fighting monsters and increased the ship's speed to 70 knots.
She took out the Thor's Axe that she had bought at the Haima Supermarket.
[Thor's Battle Axe: A treasure left behind by Thor in the mortal realm; its use causes extraordinary celestial phenomena. Requirement: Strength > 90]
I used to think that a strength level of over 90 was a long way off, but I reached it in just a few days.
Mingzhao took the axe out of the box.
This is an axe that is completely black and at least one meter tall.
The handle of the axe is engraved with exquisite lightning patterns, and the blade of the axe faintly reveals electric light.
However, Mingzhao had no idea how to use an axe. She took a silver treasure chest and, with all her might, chopped it down with an axe.
A faint spark appeared at the crack, and then the axe got stuck in the box and couldn't be pulled out...
Mingzhao looked around to make sure no one was around.
Turning her head, she saw Ash looking at her, and upon being discovered, she hurriedly and hastily looked away.
Fortunately, she was now very strong and easily broke the treasure chest in two along the crack, then threw it into the sea.
I need to find a martial arts book that uses an axe, or maybe I should ask the "unity of knowledge and action" expert for suggestions next time I have some free time.
Having abandoned the martial arts manual, Mingzhao began practicing Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) and swordsmanship.
The footwork taught by Lingbo Weibu felt very awkward at first, but she is now quite familiar with it.
By combining Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) with swordsmanship, she can instantly move to unexpected locations, significantly increasing her melee attack power.
Training continued until six o'clock, when Pancake Dog brought over dinner.
[Player Pancake Dog is gifting you: Beef and Fish Roe Burger*1, Iced Cola*1, and Blanket*1.]
The blanket was used to wrap the iced cola to prevent it from melting.
After taking out the cola, Mingzhao returned the quilt.
The beef burger smelled delicious and was juicy, but Mingzhao's mind was not on eating at all.
From the very beginning, she would sneak a peek at Ash's control panel every few minutes.
If you get caught, just pretend nothing happened and whistle as you walk by.
Finally, after watching it for the 101st time and biting the cola straw into a thin slice, Ash finally spoke.
"Captain, we've collected them all."
Mingzhao finished his drink in two gulps and picked up the control panel.
[Upgrade to Tier 3 Ship: Ship Upgrade Card: 282/100, Precision Gyroscope: 1/1, Microcontroller Unit: 1/1, Wire: 102/100, Zinc Block: 115/100, Copper Block: 100/100, Wood: 1042/500, Iron Block: 985/500, Glass: 844/500, Plastic: 920/500, Rubber: 880/200, Battery: 317/50, Diesel: 188/50.]
[Upgrade?]

This time, the system didn't even ask her if she wanted to remain anonymous.
[Congratulations to player [Invincible Tyrannosaurus] for becoming the first player to level up in the Rabbit Kingdom region! Let's praise her fearlessness and determination, and hope that all players can maintain the same enthusiasm and go further on their respective journeys!]
