Chapter 53
Backpack capacity insufficient, material upgrade
...
...
The sky, once a deep inky black, now tinged with a hint of cold, pale white.
The long highway, revealed in the dim light, was a black ribbon stretching straight into the horizon.
The world outside the car window was just vast wilderness and snow, with no trees or buildings. The earth was covered in snow, and the distant horizon was frighteningly straight, pressing heavily on the entire world.
On the floor of the safety compartment, there is a prototype of a geothermal core.
The temperature in the entire compartment was raised to around 20 degrees Celsius, which was quite warm.
Of course, Chen Yu didn't set the scope too stingily; he wrapped the entire car, including the outside.
[Red Phoenix has been identified: Yang Kexin]
[Red Phoenix Number: 3]
[Connection Characteristics: Value Contract, Physiological Connection]
[Connection Depth: Lv.11]
[Current effective multiplier: 110x]
[Red Phoenix Talent: Rank A "Craftsman's Ideas" (Can simulate crafting 1 piece of ironware daily)]
[Talent Return: Each summon grants 110 Simulated Crafting Iron Tools]
Chen Yu lay on the bed, looking at the latest information about Hongluan, lost in thought.
The physiological connection is easy to understand, but the value contract is something that has appeared for the first time.
Moreover, Yang Kexin's Red Phoenix level is leveling up rapidly.
In an instant, he surpassed Wang Mengmeng and became level 11.
Now, his three Red Phoenix ranks—
Deng Yuxin (Subconscious Security Trust/Physiological Connection): Lv.17
Wang Mengmeng (Domestication Link): Lv.6
Yang Kexin (Value Contract/Physiological Connection): Lv.11
The return from level 11 is as high as 110 times...
"110 pieces of ironware per day?"
"That's a bit abstract..."
Chen Yu repeated in a low voice, his fingers tapping on the edge of the bed.
His invitation to Yang Kexin to get in the car was not solely due to the ironware returned by Hongluan.
The most important reason,
In fact, her talent has strategic significance.
But now, the 110 pieces of ironware collected each day will eventually end up in his backpack.
There has to be a solution...
Sell them all?
In the early days, when most passengers lacked weapons, iron was indeed a form of hard currency.
They could easily obtain food, water, and medicine, but the problem was...
The arms market will become saturated.
Left 4 Dead is not a static game. As the missions progress, people will acquire some basic equipment through various means, and the demand for axes, crowbars, and knives will decrease.
More importantly, selling off large quantities of standard ironware is quite troublesome.
Just like his first transaction with Yang Kexin, she only dared to say that she got it by accident.
Moreover, Chen Yu often sells hundreds of items.
"Tsk, I never thought that having too many supplies and not having enough space to store them would become a problem..."
"We need to prepare more rope to turn the individual weapons into a bundle..."
Chen Yu pondered.
"Chen Yu?"
"This was from the shared backpack; it must have been collected by the class representative, right?"
Yang Kexin has already changed into new clothes.
I accidentally ruined my clothes just now.
Now, Yang Kexin is wearing a hooded knitted cardigan with a V-neck that reveals a pure white tank top and a delicate collarbone. She is wearing high-waisted shorts that perfectly show off her amazing long legs.
It's worth noting that she's already a dancer with a great figure, and the high-waisted design further elongates her legs visually.
Chen Yu couldn't help but shrug slightly.
Yang Kexin blushed, but she was very happy.
Her choice of this outfit was deliberate, because she noticed that... Chen Yu seemed quite interested in her legs.
"Kexin, make me a knife."
Chen Yu leaned against the headboard and said calmly.
Yang Kexin immediately got to work: "What kind of knife do you need? What's its approximate size and purpose?"
Chen Yu gestured with his fingertips in the air: "It should be about one meter long, so that it can be wielded in a narrow environment. The blade should be thick and heavy, but the center of gravity should be forward, and the chop should be powerful."
As Yang Kexin listened, she traced the outline in the air with her finger: "Straight blade, leaning towards a cleaver design, I understand, I'll give it a try..."
next moment.
Her expression became focused.
Chen Yun could feel some kind of invisible energy gathering in her palm.
After about ten seconds, Yang Kexin opened her eyes, stretched out her hands, palms facing each other.
"call."
A silver halo appeared, and at the center of the halo, a long sword could be vaguely seen taking shape.
Chen Yu narrowed his eyes; this scene was truly amazing.
Three seconds later...
Yang Kexin suddenly slammed her palms together in the middle!
"Buzz—!"
A burst of silver light!
A tactical longsword gleaming with a cold, sharp light appeared in her hand!
at the same time...
A notification suddenly sounded in Chen Yu's mind:
[Red Phoenix Harvest: Simulate Iron Crafting x1]
[Talent Refund: Simulate Iron Crafting x110]
[WARNING: Backpack capacity insufficient]
[110 simulated crafting tools could not be saved]
Chen Yu frowned and immediately brought up his personal backpack interface.
Sure enough, after robbing a large number of people, their own supplies were indeed excessively abundant.
The space was crammed full of all sorts of supplies, with only the last compartment remaining empty.
Indeed, there was no way to fit 110 pieces of ironware.
Just as Chen Yu was about to put some of the supplies into the public backpack.
The talent enhancement notification sounded again:
Unable to store talent resources
[Currently exchanging equivalent resources]
[Material Upgrade: Impurity Iron → Dense Alloy Steel]
[Talent Return: Simulated Steel Tool Crafting]
"???"
Chen Yu's expression changed. Could it be like this?
Unable to deposit returned supplies...
It automatically triggers an equivalent exchange?
110 iron longswords were forged into a single fine alloy steel sword.
His surprise was interpreted in a completely different way by Yang Kexin!
Looking at Chen Yu, a hint of smugness immediately appeared on her face!
Chen Yu really liked the things created by his A-level talent, [Ingenious Design]!
She puffed out her chest slightly: "Um... Chen Yu, how was it?"
She hadn't finished speaking.
Chen Yu's lips curled into a smile: "Very good."
Then, without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed her arm.
"Huh?"
Before Yang Kexin could react, she was half-pulled and half-pushed to the outside of the safety compartment.
"Bang!"
The metal door slammed shut behind her.
Yang Kexin stood outside the carriage, looking dazed.
"???"
Wait... what's going on here?
Weren't we having a great time just now? How come I was kicked out so quickly?
in the carriage.
Hearing the noise, Zhang Wanyue, Deng Yuxin, Li Mengyao, and Wang Mengmeng all turned their heads.
All eyes turned to her: "..."
Inside the safety compartment.
Chen Yu took out a fine alloy steel knife directly.
"If you combine a hundred iron knives, you can make a steel knife."
"So... what about ten thousand?"
