Helen smiled and gently poked Waldo's head with her finger.
"You're dreaming! How could the Platinum-level supply crate have these things? Being able to obtain a combat helicopter from it feels like a stroke of luck!"
In the next moment, Helen realized that her action had crossed a line and nervously glanced at Alanna.
Noticing that Alanna's attention was focused on the Platinum-level supply crate, Helen breathed a sigh of relief.
Alanna opened the Platinum-level supply crate.
Waldo also felt a tingling sensation and rubbed his nose.
Seeing Alanna open the Platinum-level supply crate, he quickly said, "Come on, let's see Alanna's good luck and what she gets."
Alanna smiled lightly and said, "Seems like the items are pretty good. I have some luck."
Waldo looked at the various items in the supply crate, his mouth slightly agape, unable to react for a while.
The supply crate contained a variety of items, covering multiple categories:
- Energy Shield
- Water Purifier Blueprint
- High-quality Fruit and Vegetable Seeds
- Fruit and Vegetable Cultivation Solution
- 200 pounds of Beef
In every level of supply crate, there would always be one item of the same level, with a chance of obtaining multiple items of the same level.
Although they only found one Platinum-level item, the "Energy Shield," in the supply crate they opened, the "Water Purifier Blueprint" and "Fruit and Vegetable Cultivation Solution" were both Gold-level items and quite practical.
Waldo collected all the items and carefully examined the description of the "Energy Shield," unable to calm down for a long time.
On the side, Helen praised, "Alanna, you've opened a treasure! This 'Energy Shield' is incredibly powerful!"
Alanna also let out a sigh of relief.
"I was worried we would get useless items. Thankfully, we obtained the 'Energy Shield.'"
After all, we risked antagonizing the three major powers to obtain this. It wouldn't be worth it if we ended up with garbage.
The "Energy Shield" is set up around the shelter and absorbs various forms of energy such as solar, wind, water, and electricity to activate the shield. Once activated, it forms a protective barrier around the shelter, capable of blocking attacks from outside the energy shield.
As long as the energy supply isn't interrupted, it can continuously withstand attacks while allowing counterattacks from the inside.
In simple terms, it means I can hit you, but you can't hit me.
That's how powerful and unreasonable this Platinum-level defense device is.
Waldo excitedly hugged Alanna and gave her a kiss, saying, "Alanna, you're amazing! This 'Energy Shield' is incredibly useful for us at this stage!"
With this, even if the police station wants to settle the score later, they won't be able to do anything to us.
I don't believe they can come up with any weapon of mass destruction to destroy the 'Energy Shield.'"
Alanna blushed as Waldo suddenly hugged her and gave her a kiss.
"I'm also a team member and I'm happy to be able to help in any way."
"Oh my, you smell terrible! Go take a shower, and don't hug me," she said.
Waldo had rushed back from a battle in the old town area to the villa district, naturally covered in sweat and hadn't had a chance to clean up yet.
He sniffed the sour odor coming from his body and awkwardly said, "I'll go take a shower. Afterward, I'll come out and take a look at the other supplies."
Waldo walked into the bathroom with a embarrassed expression and quickly washed off the dirt from his body.
Not long after, he walked out of the bathroom.
He had cleaned himself up and also rinsed off the bloodstains from his combat suit.
Waldo towel-dried his hair and sat down on the couch opposite Alanna and Helen.
Impatiently, he said, "Let's take a look at the other supplies. I'm quite curious about the 'Water Purifier Blueprint.'"
"Huh?" Helen was puzzled.
She had assumed that, given the variety of items they had obtained from the Platinum-level supply crate, the "Water Purifier Blueprint" was the least significant thing for their team.
After pondering for a moment, Helen said, "Waldo, we shouldn't have a shortage of water, right? While others are still worrying about their daily drinking water, we've already been using drinkable water for bathing."
Alanna also looked at Waldo with confusion, not understanding why he favored the "Water Purifier Blueprint."
Waldo smiled wryly and said, "You two pampered princesses. We do have abundant water resources, but the water we use at home needs to be supplied to the rooftop water tank. It's always been my responsibility to refill it."
"It's done once a week, but it's still quite troublesome over time."
Helen and Alanna felt somewhat guilty upon hearing this. Subconsciously, they had assumed it was an automatic water supply system like in the old world.
Now that Waldo brought it up, they realized their oversight.
"I'm sorry, Waldo. We didn't pay attention to this before," Alanna apologized.
Waldo naturally didn't blame them and didn't feel wronged either. After all, he was benefiting from it as well.
He laughed, "I'm not blaming you. I just wanted to let you know that with the water purifier, we won't need to waste drinkable water for bathing or cleaning, and it won't be troublesome."
Waldo took out the "Water Purifier Blueprint" and wanted to check the required materials.
Then, he exclaimed, looking a bit mismanaged, drawing the attention of Alanna and Helen, who leaned in to see the blueprint.
Waldo could sense the faint fragrance of the two girls and the subtle friction of their arms brushing against his. It made his mind wander a bit.
He could only pretend nothing was happening and discreetly adjust his pants, not letting himself feel too uncomfortable.
Alanna and Helen were quite surprised.
They hadn't expected the "Water Purifier Blueprint" to be capable of unlimited production.
As long as there were enough materials, it could be mass-produced and sold on the trading platform.
Alanna exclaimed, "How is this possible? Previous blueprint-like items always had a limited number of uses. This 'Water Purifier Blueprint' is unlimited, it's so unreasonable."
Helen nodded in agreement, fully understanding.
"Exactly, our 'Water Purifier Blueprint' has no usage limit! This means we practically have a monopoly on the market. We can set our own prices!"
"Oh my, the tremendous business opportunities behind this!"
Currently, the majority of survivors are lucky if they can ensure they don't die of thirst. There's simply no way to collect enough clean water for daily life.
When it comes to excretion, they have to go out in the wilderness to solve the problem.
Taking a shower is even more of a distant dream.
Even the leader of a large team like the Sheriff can only shower once a week, and his subordinates have to wait even longer. Most can only wash their hair and bodies.
Therefore, this "Water Purifier Blueprint" has a significant market value. After all, the original water resources in this world are still abundant; it's just that they're contaminated and unusable.
Once water purifiers are widely available, it will undoubtedly change the situation!
Shampoos and shower gels on the trading platform, which currently have no market demand, will soar in price and value.
