Chapter 112 - 99 Fearless Duo_2
Peanut copied down the materials and the Invincible Base’s night shift trio happened to be returning from a delivery. Hearing there were guests, they immediately went to the infirmary. Inevitably, there were handshakes and pleasantries exchanged. In front of outsiders, Invincible didn’t talk about their own base’s issues, but did exchange gaming insights with Maya.
At the first opportunity, Peanut secretly told Invincible that Shadow had brought five bottles of serum. Invincible asked Peanut to prepare a few gasoline packs for Shadow to take back. The repair shop wasn’t lacking in cars, nor gasoline; their power generator’s daily consumption of two units of gasoline didn’t prevent them from having a full stock. By contrast, the mountaintop church lacked distinctive features in architecture.
Invincible asked about the Fishing Skill Book, which currently was the most stable source of food recognized by players. Just by this query, it was known that Invincible was considering replacing the level 2 fisherman. Lin Wu didn’t respond directly but mentioned that there had been fishing books a few days ago. However, the inventory of the warehouse was managed by Stone, and he didn’t know if there were any fishing books left.
Lin Wu, who loved to play, was not foolish. Such matters were better communicated between the two Bosses.
Invincible frowned upon receiving the material list that Peanut had transcribed, as upgrading the radio required a substantial amount of resources, mostly lacking in electronics components.
Invincible said goodbye and took his men back to work.
Peanut spoke about another problem at the Invincible Base. The resources in the vicinity of the base had been depleted, and their exploration area was expanding step by step. This problem was also present at North Town, and everyone had begun to notice the fishing book. After all, as long as food was ensured, they had the bare minimum for survival.
...
On the way back, Maya said to Lin Wu, "I want to set up a sub-base at the hydroelectric power station."
Lin Wu responded, "Oh?" Whether to establish a sub-base or not was a matter he hadn’t considered too deeply.
Maya explained, "Bai Ban’s efficiency today was low; because of the sentry card, they could only make one delivery. Setting out in the early morning, they only returned at night." The basic material packages couldn’t be stored at the outpost and had to be brought back to the base.
