Top Student: Wasteland Technology Invasion

The loan from Xinping Loan would take some time to process, so Lin Chuan didn't wait for it to be processed.

He planned to use some of his living expenses to arm himself in preparation for his subsequent journey through the wasteland world.

Therefore, he settled on a fish shooter.

In fact, according to Lin Chuan's original plan, he was going to follow the online guides and make a fish-shooting crossbow by hand in the safe house of the wasteland world, so that he could perfectly avoid some of the risks.

To this end, he prepared various tools in the safe house in advance and even searched for a lot of information online.

We're just waiting for the generator to arrive so we can buy the materials for the fish-shooting crossbow and start making it.

Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes, and now there isn't that much time.

Lin Chuan had no choice but to settle for second best and buy the fish-shooting device as a whole. It was less powerful, but it should be enough to deal with the slow-moving zombies.

Having made up his mind, Lin Chuan dialed his roommate Sun Ang's number.

"Chuan Chuan, get out of class is over. How's it going over there?"

"Not bad, Lao Sun. There's something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"you say."

"A friend is coming to visit me in Hangzhou this afternoon, and I'm planning to show him around. If the teacher calls on me in my Modern History class this afternoon, could you please answer for me?"

"No problem, I've got it covered. Chuan Chuan, who's your friend? Is she a girl? Don't hide it from everyone and secretly find yourself in a relationship."

"Male, I have to go, I'm hanging up."

Asking Sun Ang to help him ask for leave, Lin Chuan did not hesitate to get on his electric scooter and ride towards the west gate of Yueyang University.

After passing through several urban villages and crossing the ring expressway, Lin Chuan arrived at a place called Guanjiatang.

This place is nominally outside of Hangzhou, but the surrounding buildings are of good quality, and there is a large pond next to it where many fish farmers raise fish.

Soon, Lin Chuan found the middle-aged man, Lao Hai, whom he had contacted in advance.

"Everything's here, want to give it a try?"

Old Hai was about forty years old, tall and thin. After exchanging a few words with Lin Chuan, he handed over a long canvas bag.

Lin Chuan knew what was in the canvas bag, and of course he wanted to try it out, since he needed it to survive in the wasteland.

Upon arriving at the fishpond, guided by Lao Hai, Lin Chuan gradually unfolded the folding fish launcher and secured the fishing float.

"Whoosh!"

With a muffled thud, the fishing rod, about ten centimeters long, carried tremendous force and pierced straight through a blackfish.

Lin Chuan put away the fish-shooting device with satisfaction.

"With a regular fish shooter, you have to pull the lever again every time you fire. I've made some modifications to the original, and I've also increased the strength of the spring. It can fire one fish at a time, and you can fire ten times in a row, which is enough to increase your fish-catching efficiency." Old Hai proudly introduced his fishing gear beside him.

Lin Chuan didn't answer. He tried all ten fishing rods in one go before stopping.

"By the way, young man, remember to maintain your fish shooter properly when you're not using it, so the spring doesn't become too tight and you won't have enough power to catch big fish. Here, I'll prepare ten extra fishing floats for you, isn't that generous?"

Seeing Lin Chuan stop, Lao Hai gave him a friendly reminder.

Clearly, he was very happy to sell the fish-shooting device for two thousand dollars.

Lin Chuan folded up the fish-shooting device, put it in his backpack, and then smiled at Lao Hai, saying, "Thank you, brother, for helping me pack this up. I'll transfer the money to you in a bit."

After the two finished exchanging the items, Lin Chuan handed two thousand yuan in cash to Lao Hai. Lao Hai gave one last reminder, "Young man, you're going to use this to catch fish, right?"

"Of course." Lin Chuan nodded without batting an eye.

"The thing I modified is quite powerful; you can use it to shoot fish, but be careful not to hurt anyone."

"Don't worry, bro. I'm a seasoned fisherman who's always shorting fish. I bought this to really treat myself. Besides, everyone's talking about the law these days, I can't just cheat myself, right?"

"That's good."

……

After completing the transaction with Lao Hai, Lin Chuan did not rush back to school.

To ensure his safety in the wasteland, a fish-shooting device alone was not enough, so he went out and got a bomb suit, as well as a batch of second-hand electronic equipment.

A used action camera, supporting 4K ultra-high-definition video, image stabilization, waterproof without body, cost Lin Chuan 1200.

A used drone, Beijiang brand, with a flight time of 20 minutes and a remote control distance of 1 kilometer, cost Lin Chuan 1800 yuan.

Finally, there was a used walkie-talkie, which cost Lin Chuan 200.

The items together nearly depleted Lin Chuan's entire savings for living expenses.

If the loan didn't come through within a month, he would only take on part-time jobs.

The allowance his family gave him was quite substantial, which was a significant financial burden for his parents, so he was too embarrassed to ask them for more.

After buying all the supplies, it was already 7:30 pm.

After running around and working for so long, even though Lin Chuan usually exercises, he felt exhausted.

All he wanted was to go back to his dorm room and get a good night's sleep on his soft bed.

But Lin Chuan knew he couldn't rest; he still had things to do.

Before buying fish-shooting equipment and other supplies, Lin Chuan planned to save his time for time travel until tomorrow. This way, he would have three hours to travel through tomorrow, which would be twelve hours in the wasteland, giving him plenty of time to do things.

But it wasn't until he bought the fish-shooting device that Lin Chuan realized it was a bit of a rip-off. Carrying it around town, or even spending the night at Yueyang University, was quite risky.

There are zombies in the wasteland, and there should also be survivors, but so many days have passed and there has been no large-scale conflict in front of the safe house.

This indicates that there aren't many zombies in this high-rise building or even the entire community; at most, only one or two were attracted to the front of the safe house.

Lin Chuan felt that with this bomb suit and the fish-shooting device, he should be able to defeat the zombies.

The only ones we need to worry about are the survivors.

Lin Chuan also has a plan for this. He intends to use drones to observe the surrounding situation and make sure there are no problems or that there is a suitable new safe house to open up a second anchor point before going out to carry out the operation.

After getting ready, Lin Chuan found a secluded spot and activated his skill: Interdimensional Travel.

In an instant, the chaotic air currents surged, and Lin Chuan confirmed the situation near the wasteland anchor point in advance.

very safe.

The light outside the window was bright; it was midday in the wasteland.

Lin Chuan quickly put down the supplies, peeked through the peephole for a while to make sure it was safe, and then walked to the window.

"call!"

He opened the window and looked down from the seventh floor; there was nothing unusual about the surroundings.

Hopefully, we can gather some useful information this time.

"I don't aspire to great wealth and status in this wasteland; just surviving and studying will be enough."

"Your expectations aren't high, are they?"

Lin Chuan muttered to himself as he unpacked the drone's carrying case, hung up the action camera, and then piloted the drone out the window.

Controlling the drone within visual range was relatively easy, and Lin Chuan controlled it to conduct short-distance flights.

Lin Chuan was very satisfied with this second-hand Beijiang brand drone.

Its propeller is very quiet, and its power index, sensitivity, and stability are all maintained at a relatively high level.

At this moment, on this tall building in the wasteland world, the drone took off for the first time, flying upwards continuously under Lin Chuan's control.
