Chapter 11 - 10 Olive Manor (Part 1)
Stone, having dozed off throughout the night, had replenished his sleep. Seeing Lin Wu come up, he gestured for Lin Wu to take a seat near the radio: "Let's discuss."
As Lin Wu sat down, Stone grabbed an iron kettle from one side and brewed a cup of tea for Lin Wu. The tea was a cheap bag of black tea, and the iron kettle was salvaged trash. There was a well within the base, and Stone, without using the system, had crafted a stove with his own hands.
Although the cup of tea had no benefits for the human body, it could make one feel happy and comfortable. Lin Wu took the cup and said, "I thought you were a pragmatist; I didn't expect you to brew tea?"
"When in a good mood, everything is enjoyable; when in a bad mood, nothing is. A pleasant mood is the secret to improving work efficiency," Stone said, sitting down. "Our small base has four units. One has been made into a medical office and another into a dormitory. For the remaining two units, I'm considering constructing a workbench and a storage. The workbench can be used to repair and manufacture weapons and craft various handheld items, including generators."
Lin Wu asked, "Why the need for a storage?"
Stone explained, "You know there are five types of resources in the base. Since we are a small base, our storage limit is 15 units. Constructing a storage will increase that to 25. This is only a temporary base, and we definitely won't stay too long; we need to stockpile enough resources first."
Lin Wu nodded, "I have no objections."
"Good! Next, we have a few things to do. First, we need a vehicle, any kind will do, there's no rush. Second, we need a new base, one suitable for development. Third, we need a lot of basic packs. Fourth, we need Skill Books in agriculture, medicine, mechanics, and so on," Stone continued.
"An hour ago, two new bases were established in North Town, one with three and the other with four people. We are severely understaffed and need more people. Developing a decent base likely also requires a certain number of people. So your first task today is to scout the new bases. Once I have the new base information, I will negotiate with the people from these two bases to see if we can form a medium-small long-term base together," Stone explained.
