The system said, "Only items from the Stone Age and Feudal Age can be brought out. Items from the Industrial Age and Space Age cannot be transferred. Additionally, transferring items requires corresponding silver."
Li Mufan nodded. He was familiar with the division of technological eras in the Ring World, but what about this authority?
The system explained, "The host's current permissions are LV1. You can only upgrade your permissions after completing a series of tasks issued by the system."
"Tasks?"
He was slightly startled, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Sure enough, the voice of the system immediately echoed in his mind: "Ding dong! The first system mission is released. The host needs to build a survival base in the outside world within 60 days."
"The population of the base must not be less than 200 people. If you complete the mission, you will receive two follower cards and a randomly selected gift. If the mission fails, you will be directly erased."
"Erased? Erased!?"
Without hesitation, he replied, "I'm sorry, I refuse to accept the task."
"Ding dong! The host does not have enough permissions to refuse!"
"Niang Xipi!"
Li Mufan felt shocked and angry. He understood his situation; it was still unclear whether he could break through Dongshan City. Now he had to establish a survival base? The key issue was the 60-day time limit, which was quite difficult.
After thinking and struggling on the spot for a moment, he made a decisive decision and shouted to Aqiang and Cuihua behind him, "Quickly, build three forging platforms immediately. Notify everyone to put down their work and create fine steel swords for me!"
"Yes!"
The two stood at attention and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
"System, I want to bring out 255 fine steel swords, 255 sets of chainmail, 255 iron bows, 5,100 arrows, and 2,550 simple meals. Calculate for me how much it will cost in total!"
Li Mufan had 255 soldiers in the Guards Battalion in the outside world. Although the soldiers' strength couldn't be improved in the short term, having sophisticated equipment could greatly increase their chances of survival.
"Ding dong! The items you need to bring out are products of the feudal era. According to the system's procedures, you need to pay twice as much for bringing items out of the feudal era. You need to pay a total of 103,128 silver."
"What!?"
Li Mufan jumped up upon hearing this. While he had a lot of items he wanted to bring out, the price was too exorbitant.
He must remember that he had developed this base for a full seven years and was already very wealthy, but he only had 100,000 silver in the warehouse. Now he was on the verge of bankruptcy. This was outrageous!
"System, you're not trying to trick me on purpose, are you? I'm just going to bring out some cold weapons, and it costs 100,000 silver? If I were to bring out some guns and cannons, wouldn't that mean I'd have to tear down the base and sell it for money?"
The system's voice remained cold: "If the host needs to bring out items from the industrial era, it will require an additional five times the price and the host must unlock LV2 permissions."
"Five times…"
Well, Li Mufan decided not to continue dealing with this cheating system.
After hesitating for a moment, he did not go to the central rotunda to supervise the colonists' work. Instead, he entered the warehouse, picked up a large knife, and headed straight for the entertainment hall.
The luxurious entertainment hall was very spacious. A giant-screen TV was embedded in the silver wall, and rows of alpaca chairs were arranged in front of the TV for everyone to watch at their leisure.
In one corner of the hall, a pure gold billiard table stood quietly, with four or five jade pool cues placed haphazardly on both sides of it. In another corner of the room, two pure gold chess tables were set up. Everything looked incredibly rich and luxurious.
