There was nothing else to do at the shelter now.
So Xu Zhengyang issued a command to Da Bai (Big White) that would allow him to contact him at any time, and then he went to the media room to pass the time.
...
The next day.
After completing his daily tasks as usual, Xu Zhengyang's phone rang. It turned out that the Vacuum Arc Furnace he had purchased yesterday had arrived outside the lumber factory! He needed to inspect the goods, settle the payment, transport, and install it.
After going through a familiar process that couldn't be more familiar, the familiar system subtitles appeared before Xu Zhengyang's eyes:
[Main Quest: Smelting Workshop (Completed)]
[Reward: Agility Enhancement Potion Type II]
...
[Agility Enhancement Potion Type II]
[Effect: Permanently increases agility by 2 points after consumption]
After downing the Agility Enhancement Potion, Xu Zhengyang immediately opened the task list to check the latest main quest:
[Main Quest: Battle Vehicle (In Progress)]
[In a world filled with crises, the thin metal sheet of a factory vehicle is insufficient to handle the various complex situations that may arise at any time.
Therefore, you need to modify your vehicle to withstand at least 30 rounds of 7.62mm bullet fire!]
[Quest Objective: Modify a vehicle to withstand 30 rounds of 7.62mm bullet fire]
[Quest Reward: Mental Enhancement Potion Type II]
After seeing the quest details, Xu Zhengyang was thrilled and said, "Finally, it's time for the reward of the Mental Enhancement Potion!"
With that, Xu Zhengyang immediately went to the vehicle repair workshop he had built earlier and took out the U8 he had just bought from his Dimensional Space Pocket.
The U8 was a performance beast with 1200 horsepower, its power comparable to that of a modern main battle tank!
With such robust power support, Xu Zhengyang could completely disregard the details and let his creativity run wild in the modifications!
Welding a steel shovel to the front;
Welding steel plates to the doors;
Welding slanted steel frames like shutters to the front and rear windshields and windows...
After five hours of hard work, the once brand-new vehicle had been transformed beyond recognition by Xu Zhengyang! Although the exterior of the vehicle looked somewhat shabby, standing in front of it gave a sense of alternative strength! With the completion of the vehicle modifications.
Xu Zhengyang clapped his hands in satisfaction, and the system subtitles appeared before him as expected:
[Main Quest: Battle Vehicle (Completed)]
[Reward: Mental Enhancement Potion Type II]
...
[Mental Enhancement Potion Type II]
[Effect: Permanently increases mental attributes by 2 points after consumption]
Xu Zhengyang's highest attribute was now Mental Strength.
And his strongest active skill, Total Concentration, also required Mental Strength to activate.
After downing the Mental Enhancement Potion and seeing his mental attribute rise to 7.2, Xu Zhengyang nodded in satisfaction.
Then he opened the task list to check the new main quest: [Main Quest: Expansion II (In Progress)]
[Your shelter has become increasingly refined, but the idle space in the shelter is also becoming tighter, making it difficult to meet your growing needs.
You need to expand your shelter once again!]
[Quest Objective: Maintain current building standards and expand the total usable area of your shelter to 3000 square meters (with a height of no less than five meters)]
[Quest Reward: [Shelter Plugin: Four-Dimensional Cube]]
After reading the quest details, Xu Zhengyang was taken aback, "Four-Dimensional Cube?"
The two shelter plugins Xu Zhengyang had previously obtained were [Reinforced] and [Optical Camouflage].
The Reinforced plugin was a passive defense, and Xu Zhengyang didn't know how much it enhanced the shelter.
But he had personally witnessed the power of the Optical Camouflage.
So when Xu Zhengyang saw that the quest reward was a Four-Dimensional Cube that looked very high-end, his heart immediately ignited with excitement! Xu Zhengyang then called Chen Yong! "Uncle Chen, are you busy?"
...
"I need a batch of building materials; I'll send you the specific list on WeChat."
...
"Yeah, the sooner the better; I need it urgently."
...
*For Chen Yong.
The tasks Xu Zhengyang assigned him were always the top priority! So just two hours after Xu Zhengyang's call, Chen Yong personally arrived with five semi-trailers and a crane.
He brought the materials Xu Zhengyang needed to the lumber factory.
While unloading the goods, Chen Yong pulled Xu Zhengyang into his pickup truck and excitedly took out his phone to show Xu Zhengyang, "Look.
I've already set up the framework for our shelter; all that's left is the decoration.
This is the room for me and your aunt, this one is for you and your sister-in-law, and this suite is reserved for you.
Then over here are the kitchen, warehouse, and bathroom in order…"
Seeing that Chen Yong was also prepared for the apocalypse, Xu Zhengyang felt much more at ease and praised him, "Impressive, Uncle Chen!"
"Of course."
Chen Yong nodded proudly, then suddenly turned to Xu Zhengyang and said, "By the way, Ah Zheng.
I have a cousin named Zhou Lin, who just graduated from college this year and is three years younger than you.
Lin Lin not only looks good but also has a great personality and cooks well.
How about you come over for dinner tonight? I'll set you two up! If you two hit it off, when the world really changes, you can move in together!"
Xu Zhengyang didn't expect Chen Yong to arrange a blind date for him, and he was taken aback!
So he quickly waved his hands to refuse, "No, no, Uncle Chen, I won't go!"
After saying that, Xu Zhengyang saw that Chen Yong was not willing to give up, looking like he was determined to drag him to the blind date.
He quickly made up a lie and said to Chen Yong, "Actually, my boss is a woman! She's a year older than me, good-looking, and has a nice personality.
Uncle Chen...
You understand what I mean, right?"
Chen Yong looked skeptical and said, "You're making that up?"
"How could I lie to you, Uncle Chen!"
Xu Zhengyang smiled at Chen Yong and said, "What boss would give their employees this level of financial authority like I do...?"
Hearing this, Chen Yong was momentarily stunned and believed it about seventy to eighty percent.
After all, if the roles were reversed, Chen Yong would definitely not give his employees such significant financial authority.
So Chen Yong said with a look of regret, "Then Lin Lin doesn't have that fortune."
At that moment, the robotic arms that Xu Zhengyang had previously ordered, which could be controlled by telecommunication signals, also began to arrive one after another.
So Xu Zhengyang quickly used this as an excuse to escape the truck, shouting to Chen Yong outside, "Uncle Chen, I'm going to inspect the goods!
You keep an eye on this side for me!"
"Okay, go ahead." Chen Yong waved his hand.
*Even with the crane's help.
It took another two hours to unload these three trucks of goods.
After sending off Chen Yong and all the workers, Xu Zhengyang began to use his Dimensional Space Pocket to move various building materials into the shelter.
Under the coordination of Da Bai (Big White), the two Engineering Robots continued to dig down, preparing to build a three-story underground! Thanks to [Jiu Xiao Yun Long] and [Cherry Tree Under the Agreement] for their generous support of 100 starting point coins!
Boss is generous!
