Chapter 10 - Monday (2)

The total of Red Meteorite Cores earned today is 71, as for the total food expenses, it's 101 items.

Inside the workshop with the Printer Machine and Tinkerer's Workbench, Zhang Qin Feng activated the power by spending another Red Meteorite Core. Right now, he has 130 of them left.

"Let's check the Tinkerer's Workbench option first." Zhang Qin Feng sat on the chair attached to the workbench and started to have fun with the controlling menu.

"Toot!" the machine beeps.

"Blueprints!"

== == == == ==

[1] Tianlang Electronic's Meteorite Battery (2nd-Gen Anode Connection)

[2] Military Expertise Co. General Recovery (Effienciency-3%)

[3] Daschund Manufacturing Trial Server (Scanner/ Communication Device)

[4] Titanium Steel Co's Grade C Steel

== == == == ==

"Hahaha! I've got 4 options now." Zhang Qin Feng laughed. Only from a single day of work, the choices available within the workbench increases from 1 to 4.

Furthermore, the General Recovery from Military Expertise Co can be said to be one of the hottest goods so far in X31-ITE. From what he was told by Dan Mi, the serum is divided into 4 different categories.

A below 5% Serum can be used on minor injuries and sickness.

A below 15% Serum can be used to treat burn wounds from acid attack or flamethrower. It also can treats light fractures and bones.

While for a serum with a concentration of below 50%, it is capable of regrowing lost limbs due to multiple traumas.

But any serum with concentration over 51% is considered dangerous. After all, the serum itself is a byproduct made from Seed Crystal Virus culture with its infectious component and mutation cell removed.

As for the Red Meteorite Core or Green Nephrite Core, they're the concentrated version of Seed Crystal Virus made its host creates.

Based on the number of technology scraps devoured by the Server itself, producing a serum with efficiency or concentration of 3% is not shabby at all! All a person needs is 2 bottles of serum to obtain the miraculous ability a 5% serum can do!

"What do I need to make the General Recovery?" Zhang Qin Feng tapped into the 2nd option.

The requirement for the production of (1) unit

Production Cost: 50gm Copper / 10gm Zinc / 3gm Tellurium / 25gm Gold / SCV Medical Culture

"Medical culture?" the term puzzled him. After checking on the Tinkerer's Workbench for nothing, Zhang Qin Feng turned his attention to the Material Station.

== == == == ==

[1] Separating the mutated Element available within Sample 1

[2] Producing Viral Culture from Sample 1 for Medical Application

== == == == ==

"It's really over here!" Zhang Qin Feng played with the controlling console after placing eleven Red Meteorite Cores onto the station.

"Dong... Dong... Dong... Doooooo..." the Red Meteorite Cores on the station is consumed after he tapped on the 2nd option, to produce Viral Culture.

The difference this time is instead of having things printed out from the Printing Zone, a glass tube about 1 meter long with ten compartments raise from the side of his Tinkerer's Workbench. Inside each compartment is a transparent cell with a pinkish hue.

But when he gets back to the Tinkerer's Workbench, a new option appears.

[Production Cost: 50gm Copper / 10gm Zinc / 3gm Tellurium / 25gm Gold / SCV Medical Culture still in maturity process]

"I guess I can only wait until tomorrow morning." Zhang Qin Feng made 4 additional batteries before he left the workshop and get ready to sleep.

"From today onwards, you'll be leading the Ironhead Team. Our leader, Xichen, also requested that we send 10 additional people to strengthen your teams." a guy in a long blue coat said. On the hand of both of them is a piece of an electronic device from Daschund Corporation's sub-department, Daschund Communication.

It is known as Luna II.

The device allowed wireless and free messages transmitted all over this world along with a Quantum Network on every region. Other than that, it also comes with a status meter, GPS tracking device, and auto-mapping function.

"Please thanks him on my behalf. Our Ironhead Team will make sure that we cover the northern side of Xicheng Base and clear them from the zombies." Boss Guo, now Captain Guo, said.

"I'll be leaving. If there's anything you need, just get over to the Base Armory to purchase them. Food is available in Base Canteen, prostitutes on the back of it. Spend what you earn, but make sure you or your people don't cause trouble within the Xicheng Base."

"And make sure that you remember. Each team has its own specific Luna II device. This will reduce misunderstandings between the units outside of the base. Please make sure that you handed in the tax of 350 credits by the end of the month."

"That's all." the guy left, leaving Captain Guo here outside of the building designated to the Ironhead Team.

As for the tax, it is charged at 10 credits for every headcount. With the addition of 10 able fighters into their team, it is 35 people in total. Luckily, the people that often sent into units to strengthen their force are alone, making it easier to take care.

"Boss..." one of his teammates came and called him using the previous way.

"Its Captain now. Here in Xicheng Base, only Xichen is the boss." Captain Guo quickly corrected his people from addressing him wrongly.

"I... I understand. Can we bring our people to grabs the allocated Protein Bar now? It's quite late." the teammate said.

"Go ahead. You don't need to wait for me." Captain Guo said and returned to his room.

He slowly undressed and change into much more comfortable clothing. Lying on top of the bed, he took a few glances around him before giving out a sigh.

"Is the choice I made for everyone... Correct?" it might be wrong, but being wrong in exchange for 15 family members to live inside a safe zone? It might be a comforting mistake.

At the same time. Inside Blood Wolf Base.

"Big brother!" Dan Mi came back to the command center and approached his elder brother. Of course, holding two packets of Spicy Sticks.

"What does the shop owner says?" Dan Bao asked. Last time, he assigned Dan Mi to discuss the topic of buying the Tianlang Electronic's Meteorite Battery from Zhang Qin Feng.

"He said that he can try to check his underground warehouse if he has more. But the price will be 10 Red Meteorite Cores for each battery." Dan Mi explained to his brother about what he and Zhang Qin Feng discussed.

"What? He had an actual underground warehouse? How confident is his security to make a warehouse underground, where it was infested with Corpse Eater burrowing around?" the answer shocked Dan Bao.

"So be it! 10 red cores for a battery is far better compared to Xichen Bases 18 credits! Buy everything he has and make sure to check with him what else he holds in his store!" Dan Bao made a decision in mind.

"Even if it is the wrong choice I made, I'll hug this golden thigh until my last moment."
