Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 202 One Thousand Extraordinary Materials
None of the seven extraordinary materials were high-level or strangely dropped materials, but they still propelled the Dark Gold Magnetic Blade to a ranking of over 6,000.

The most crucial materials for this offering were all obtained for free, so regardless of the ranking, it's still a profit.

Chu Sheng held the dark gold magnetic knife in his hand, feeling quite satisfied with the information it contained.

The Dark Gold Magnetic Blade's abilities may not seem impressive on their own, but upon closer inspection, they are quite good.

It can create ten illusory images to confuse the enemy, and it can also manipulate weight to achieve a unique kind of effortless weightlifting and effortless weightlifting.

At the same time, it can also return to its own hands within a certain range.

That ability to break through defenses may seem useless, but it is actually somewhat useful. The fact that it can be recorded in the abilities of the sacrificial offering means that this ability can almost certainly break through the defenses of strange creatures of the same level.

It can be effective when encountering bizarre creatures like the Golden Armored Corpse.

The most abnormal thing is the ability to nurture a sword.

Chu Sheng had no doubt that if this thing was nurtured long enough, its ranking would continue to rise, and the basic attributes of the Dark Gold Magnetic Blade would also continue to improve.

This is a sacrificial offering that can grow on its own.

Thinking it over, Chu Sheng tossed the dark gold magnetic knife to Yang Jing.

The materials came from the City of Machines, and the guise was for exchange and learning, so this sacrificial object needed to be shown to them after it was made.

Chu Sheng was well aware of this, so he figured he might as well take the initiative.

Upon receiving the dark gold magnetic knife from Chu Sheng, Yang Jing froze on the spot, staring at him in disbelief.

Seeing him like this, An Xi, who had already come closer, snatched the dark gold magnetic knife from his hand and started looking at it as well.

She still hasn't seen Chu Sheng's offerings.

Chu Sheng had always been the one who created their offerings and then examined their abilities, but none of them had ever seen the abilities of his own offerings.

Now the opportunity has finally arrived.

By observing just one example, one can discern the strength of Chu Sheng's other offerings.

After snatching the dark gold magnetic knife, An Xi sensed its power and couldn't help but gasp.

"Sigh~"

"Is this a proper knife?"

An Xi couldn't help but speak up when she saw Chu Sheng's calm demeanor.

Chu Sheng glanced at her, hands in his pockets, "What else could it be but a proper knife?"

"Such powerful abilities at such a low cost, and you call this a legitimate knife?!" An Xi stared at him with wide eyes.

Her words piqued the curiosity of Wang Jianguo and the others, who took the dark gold magnetic knife from her hand and examined it. Chu Sheng, meanwhile, looked at An Xi with his hands still in his pockets and said, "Your black jade bone spear doesn't seem to be much worse."

"Want me to tell you about the capabilities of your Black Jade Bone Spear?"

“Uh…” An Xi was taken aback, recalling the Black Jade Bone Spear’s abilities and costs, then coughed lightly, “No need.”

Seeing that An Xi didn't continue speaking, Chu Sheng didn't press the matter. Instead, he looked at Yang Jing, who was still staring at him in disbelief, and gave him a shy smile. "Brother Yang, what's wrong?"

"Oh?" Yang Jing was brought back to his senses by his voice and shook his head. "No, nothing."

"I'm just wondering why the offerings you create are so cheap."

“Forging seven extraordinary materials at the same time should theoretically come at a cost for each material, but yours only comes at a cost.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered and smiled even more naturally.

"Brother Yang, you forgot, the cost of the sacrificial offerings we create can be reduced if we use them ourselves."

"The Dark Gold Magnetic Blade is a sacrifice I intend to use myself, so I've directly revealed the cost. If you want to use it, the cost will be much higher than what you see here."

"You should know this, after all, if I'm not mistaken, you can halve the cost of using the offerings you create yourself."

Chu Sheng took the initiative to tell the story.

Upon hearing his words, Hui and Old Man Li, who were standing to the side, seemed to have expected it and showed no surprise whatsoever. They had already guessed that Chu Sheng was able to use the sacrificial offering at a reduced cost.

Anxi, Ah Xin, Lu Guan, and Xingzi all had very normal expressions.

Only Zhu Qing stared wide-eyed at Chu Sheng, seemingly not expecting this to be possible.

Chu Sheng looked at Yang Jing, his smile unchanged.

He had just realized that Yang Jing and Wang Jianguo were not on the same side. Since they dared to say that every extraordinary material would come at a price in order to scheme against him, he naturally wouldn't remain indifferent.

Although I don't know what he wants to do, I took the initiative to say it and also exposed him.

He didn't know if Yang Jing and Wang Jianguo had mentioned that they could reduce the cost, but based on his guess, Yang Jing most likely hadn't.

After all, if you don't tell others, they won't know that this can reduce the cost.

Wang Jianguo, who was standing to the side, paused slightly upon hearing Chu Sheng's words, but quickly recovered. As if he hadn't heard anything, he handed the dark gold magnetic knife back to Chu Sheng and sighed, "Comrade Chu, here's your knife back."

"You are really capable!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng smiled but remained silent.

Wang Jianguo continued, "As I told you yesterday, we have a lot of extraordinary materials, but not enough sequence ability users to forge them into sacrificial offerings."

"So we'd like to ask you to help us create the sacrificial offerings." "We don't know how much Comrade Chu charges."

He made a deal out of nothing; he didn't use morality to blackmail anyone.

Chu Sheng did not answer immediately, but instead asked, "I wonder what kind of offerings Elder Wang wants, how many extraordinary materials he needs, and how I should obtain them?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianguo pondered for a moment, then said, "A thousand pieces of extraordinary materials."

"To be honest, the mechanical city has excellent attack and defense capabilities, but energy is our weakness. If possible, we would like energy-type offerings."

As he spoke, he glanced at the Netherworld Light that was standing to the side, saying nothing, but his meaning was clear.

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then nodded. "Energy-type offerings are not difficult to obtain."

"To be honest, my Nether Light contains a sacrifice of infinite energy type."

"That's why it can continuously emit lasers."

"However, such offerings can only be obtained by luck."

He looked at Wang Jianguo and continued, "Of course, I can also customize sacrificial offerings, but that would consume a lot of my mental energy and take several days."

As he spoke, he announced his price, "So I have two options. The first option is one thousand extraordinary materials, from which I can fuse them into three hundred and thirty-three sacrificial offerings for you."

"However, the abilities, appearances, and rankings of these offerings are random, so I can't be sure what they will look like."

"This is the price I charge for fusing materials for people outside the team; I don't accept bargaining."

"What about the second option?"

"The second option is for me to create a sacrificial offering that contains endless energy, but the price will be much higher."

"One hundred extraordinary materials will help you fuse a sacrificial offering of endless energy."

"You will need to provide the materials for this ritual yourself. One hundred pieces of materials are my reward."

After listening to Chu Sheng's words, Wang Jianguo remained silent for a moment, then solemnly said, "Then please ask Comrade Chu to help with the fusion."

"We need four offerings of endless energy type. Please help us forge the other six hundred extraordinary materials into other offerings."

"Okay." Chu Sheng smiled.

The mechanical city is the right place to be!
Otherwise, how could there be so many extraordinary materials?

"The four offerings of endless energy type require you to give me the strange heart, as well as other extraordinary materials related to power and energy."

At this point, Chu Sheng paused, looked at Wang Jianguo, and reminded him, "Elder Wang, I must remind you that the more of these materials you have, the stronger the sacrificial object you create."

"Endless energy is endless energy, but there are differences between endless energy sources."

"Hmm?" Wang Jianguo was taken aback upon hearing this, and asked in confusion, "Please enlighten me, Comrade Chu."

"Some offerings are constantly converting energy, so they are inexhaustible energy. Other offerings are never-ending and keep operating, so they are also inexhaustible energy. And some offerings are always storing energy and converting everything into energy, so they are also inexhaustible energy."

"Among these offerings, some are constantly producing energy, but the amount produced is relatively small. Although they are constantly producing energy, they can only be considered as backup options."

"If I'm not mistaken, the energy demand for the Mechanical City to operate will be huge, so I'm giving you a heads-up."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianguo suddenly understood.

He realized what Chu Sheng meant the moment he opened his mouth, but he still listened to what Chu Sheng had to say.

"Don't worry, Comrade Chu, I understand." Wang Jianguo's expression became serious.

He wouldn't joke about anything related to the power and energy of the Mechanical City.

Upon learning that Wang Jianguo knew about this, Chu Sheng didn't say anything more, but instead asked, "What kind of four endless energy offerings do you want?"

"An engine? A generator? Or something else?"

"dynamo."

Before Wang Jianguo could speak, Xiao Zhan spoke up from the side.

“Okay.” Chu Sheng nodded. “Then send me four generators. I’ll use the generators as a blueprint to make the four sacrificial offerings.”

“It’s already on its way,” Xiao Zhan continued, his tone devoid of any emotion.

Chu Sheng didn't pay any attention to it, but looked at Wang Jianguo and continued, "Elder Wang, how long will it take to trade for the Eternal Flame?"

"I'll finish this as soon as possible so I can go make the sacrificial offerings."

Upon hearing his words, Wang Jianguo frowned in thought, looked up at the sky, and then nodded repeatedly as if listening to someone.

After a moment, Wang Jianguo finally spoke, "We're almost there, a total of 120 people."

Chu Sheng nodded, and neither Hui's team nor the others spoke up.

The Eternal Flame was a test devised by Chu Sheng and Hui's team.

No one else will initiate a trade until the deal for the Eternal Flame is finalized.

Even though Chu Sheng and Wang Jianguo had agreed on the trade regarding the sacrificial offerings, the Eternal Flame remained the primary condition for the trade.
