Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 13 Big Purchasing
What first caught Lin Wu's eye was a small sign hanging at the entrance of the market.

[This Week's Commodity Prices]

Wood: 2 crystals/unit

Freshwater: 3 crystals/unit

Iron ore: 5 crystals/unit

Coal: 8 Crystals/Unit

[Fuel: 12 Crystals/Unit]

[Rare mineral vein: 15-35 crystals/unit]

Rare mineral vein crystals: 3000-5000 crystals/piece

"Are these rare mineral veins really that valuable?" Li Ye was somewhat surprised.

Lin Xia nodded.

Upon learning that Li Ye had 483 units of Thunder Ore, she instantly covered her mouth in surprise.

"So many? You're so lucky!"

At this moment, perhaps due to the large number of people, the market had become somewhat chaotic. Lin Xia immediately stepped forward and began to methodically direct the market's order.

Li Ye couldn't help but glance at Lin Xia a few more times.

This girl, in her early twenties, was generous and capable, lacking the spoiled airs of typical lord's children, which made him quite fond of her.

About half an hour later, Li Ye finally sold all of his Thunder Ore at a price of 25 crystals per unit.

The reason it took so long was that no one in the market bought all of his ore at once. Everyone bought only a few at a time, with the most they bought being thirty.

12075 crystal coins.

Li Ye counted the money with satisfaction.

Mixed among the crystal coins are many crystal cards, which are also the universal currency in this world. One crystal card is equivalent to 100 crystal coins, and they can only be dropped by monsters of elite level or above.

Seeing the money in front of them, Lao Zhou and his companions felt much more at ease.

"Let's go, let's go buy supplies." Li Ye waved.

He first purchased 600 units of coal in one go.

As coal was slowly added, Tomorrow's energy level rose to 61%.

Upon seeing this, Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief. After much persuasion, the energy level had finally returned to a safe range. These past few days in the field, he had been constantly worried that the Tomorrow would run out of energy and shut down.

Immediately afterwards, he began picking out level 1 items in the market.

The market at Roland Fortress sells Level 1 items, but in relatively small quantities. Vendors who have Level 1 items will display them in the most prominent positions.

Level 1 bed, Level 1 table and chair design blueprints, Level 1 machete
Li Ye wandered through the market, his eyes quickly scanning the level 1 items and level 1 design blueprints in various shops.

For him, the lord of a mobile city, making is worse than buying. Therefore, rather than buying level 1 items, he prefers to purchase level 1 blueprints so that he can input them into the production workshop to unlock the project's manufacturing.

After careful selection, he finally settled on two things.

Both are level 1 crop seeds priced at 1500 crystals - Morning Light Wheat, and both are level 1 off-road vehicle blueprints priced at 1000 crystals.

Morning Glory Wheat is a Tier 1 crop owned by Roland Keep. It grows within a month and has a 10% yield bonus. It is sold in the official Roland Keep shop, primarily to residents from other towns, visiting survival convoys, and lords of mobile cities.

As for the Tier 1 off-road vehicle blueprint, it was sold by a bounty hunter residing in the upper city of Roland Fortress. According to him, it was a drop from an elite goblin.

建造一辆1级越野车需要消耗200单位铁矿，10单位汽车配件。汽车配件同样可以在生产车间制造，需要消耗5单位金属。折合在一起就是造一辆越野车需要250单位铁矿。

The Tier 1 off-road vehicle also has the added benefit of "10% reduction in fuel consumption," which is quite a practical feature. Without hesitation, Li Ye acquired it.

Mobile cities typically have convoys, which are used for scouting and searching for supplies, as well as for raiding resource points occupied by monsters.

Although Tomorrow's current resources and manpower are not yet sufficient to form a fleet, it is necessary to acquire these design blueprints in advance.

The bounty hunter counted the ten crystal cards he had acquired and left happily.

Li Ye silently counted his money pouch.

He spent 4800 crystals on coal, and with the 2500 he's spent now, he only has a little over 4700 crystals left.

Then he spent 2500 crystals to buy 500 units of iron ore.

It has to be said that level 1 iron ore is a really useful resource. You need it to make bullets and shells, upgrade city components, produce items, and even use it as emergency fuel when mobile cities are short of energy.

He initially thought of spending all his crystal coins to buy iron ore, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized it wasn't necessary.

With its own intelligence system, finding iron ore or mines in the wild is relatively easy; buying 500 units is enough.

With the remaining 2200 crystals, Li Ye used them to buy easy-to-store vegetables and fruits, dried meat, dry food and flour at the market, and also purchased some ordinary furniture for the Tomorrow.

These ordinary pieces of furniture weren't for his own use; the lord's room where Liye lived was fully furnished. He bought these to provide for the new residents.

In addition, Li Ye purchased several chickens and ducks and set aside a plot of land in the middle layer of the area to raise them. In the post-apocalyptic wasteland, these poultry were much more expensive than usual.

Before long, the crystal coins were almost all spent.

After purchasing the supplies, Li Ye began trying to recruit new residents in the fortress.

However, this time, no one paid any attention.

Living conditions are better in fortresses than in mobile cities. They are safe and spacious, and you don't have to wander in the wild in constant fear.

After all, people always pursue a comfortable life.

While moving the purchased supplies, Lao Zhou casually asked Li Ye a question.

"Ah Li, when are we leaving for the wilderness?"

Li Ye stroked his chin and thought for a moment.

"We've almost finished our business. Let's rest here tonight and set off tomorrow morning."

In the following time, Li Ye left the market and came to the factory area.

Because there are many repair shops here, he searched for quite a while.

Finally, he saw a young man squatting in front of the repair shop.

The young man was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, wearing glasses, and looked somewhat refined.

He was resting his chin on his hands, looking distressed.

Li Ye had a sudden thought: this must be the person who was fired mentioned in the intelligence report.

After some conversation, Li Ye learned that the other person's name was Ning Wen. He was originally an apprentice at this repair shop, but he was fired after only two months.

Ning Wen was somewhat surprised to learn that Li Ye was the lord of a mobile city.

Upon learning of Li Ye's purpose, he was immediately stunned.

"I'm not really a gunner," he said, scratching his head somewhat embarrassed.

In fact, Ning Wen had served as an apprentice gunner at Roland Fortress a few years ago, but he was laid off after only a few months.
