My Post-Apocalyptic Territory

Back to the castle.

Even though he stayed in the middle of the group the whole time and didn't participate in the battle, he still returned to the territory covered in dust and grime.

There's nothing we can do about it. The No. 2 road clearing team is like a bulldozer. They've cleared the road, but the dust is flying everywhere. Now, when I look in the mirror, I almost look like a dirt doll.

This makes for a terrible experience when going out.

Admittedly, most survivors after the apocalypse returned looking the same. Those who managed to keep their clothes intact were considered lucky. Most survivors' clothes had long been torn to shreds during their escape and battles.

For Awakened Ones who frequently go out to fight, clothing is a consumable. Even clothes made of animal hides must be replaced with new ones after a period of use. The clothing industry is particularly thriving in the Eastern Shelter.

However, as the dignified Lord Tang, he couldn't possibly be treated like an ordinary survivor. In the past, it was because he lacked source crystals, but now, he couldn't possibly wrong himself like that.

"We still need to rely on vehicles for transportation, and they can't be ordinary vehicles."

Ordinary vehicles, such as cars, can only travel on roads and are of little use in the wild. Even armored vehicles cannot withstand slightly stronger demonized beasts.

Moreover, if they want to go to the Sunset Shelter to find their parents, a vehicle is essential. Run there? The two places are so far apart. Even if the Awakened Ones can run at full speed, how long can they maintain that speed? It's simply unrealistic.

Not to mention it's not safe!

There must be a vehicle that is capable of fighting and surviving, fast, and adaptable to various environments, and preferably also offers a comfortable riding experience.

"As long as we can extract the vehicle blueprints, I believe the vehicles produced by the system can meet this requirement."

Tang Yu first ran back and forth to the castle warehouse several times, pouring all the crystal ore he had harvested into it.

Looking at the ever-increasing number of Source Crystal units on the panel, he knew that he could finally have a fun time with Kryptonite.

They soon arrived at the market.

Of the core buildings, only the tavern has been upgraded to level three, the market and workshop are at level two, and the research institute is only at level one.

After the tavern was upgraded to level three, a fusion summoning function was added. Tang Yu guessed that the market might also have a similar function after it was upgraded.

Previously, we simply lacked source crystals and dared not use them recklessly.

Now...

"Ding! The market has been upgraded to level three."

[Ten new product slots have been added.]

[Increase the probability of spawning high-level treasures]

[Unlock new features: You can retain your daily free product refresh attempts; combine ten refresh attempts to specify that the next refresh will definitely include products from a specific major category; combine one hundred refresh attempts to specify that the next refresh will definitely include products from a specific subcategory.]

"As expected..."

The so-called major categories are equipment, resources, blueprints, items, etc. For ten times the amount of source crystals, the next refresh of goods will definitely include the category of goods you want.

Spending a hundred times the amount of Source Crystals allows for further narrowing down the scope. For example, equipment can be reduced to weapons, swords, firearms, and so on. Blueprints can also be narrowed down to weapon blueprints, armor blueprints, vehicle blueprints, and so on.

Tang Yu's eyes lit up as soon as this feature appeared.

In each refresh of the market, resources are the least useful, yet they will always occupy more than half of the product slots.

He always ignored this.

In addition, there were some strange items that sounded quite high-end, but in reality, most of them were useless things, such as strange wood, strange fruits, strange rings, strange underwear... cough cough cough. In short, there were many items in the market that started with "strange". At first, Tang Yu bought some out of curiosity, but then he found out what kind of things these were!

Buying a high-value item cheaply? That's impossible.

You get what you pay for; if there's a difference, it's two cents for the same quality!

Rare items like blueprints and skill runes sometimes won't appear even after refreshing the page hundreds of times, so specifying the refresh category is really helpful.

Tang Yu hadn't used up his refresh opportunity from today, so he added another 4,500 source crystals, making a total of ten refreshes.

"Refresh product listings! Specified category, drawings!"

Tang Yu naturally chose to designate the broad category. As for spending a hundred times more to designate the narrower category? That would be a complete waste of money.

Vehicle blueprints are what he needs most, but he also needs other types of blueprints. In any case, he has already made up his mind that no matter what blueprints are drawn, as long as he can afford them, he must buy them.

A burst of light enveloped all the product display areas.

After the radiance faded, Tang Yu opened his eyes wide, searching for the blueprints in the product section.

"Found it!"

Swift Revolver (Weapon) Blueprint, Price: 3,000 Source Crystals.

Remaining quantity: 1.

Without hesitation, in one word: chop off your hands!

After glancing at the remaining items, Tang Yu found some of them to be valuable and bought them without hesitation.

This is the first time I've ever enjoyed shopping so much without feeling any pain.

Yes, it doesn't hurt!

Taking a deep breath, Tang Yu spent another 5,000 source crystals.

In the market, the goods change again.

This time, two drawings appeared in the thirty product categories.

Tang Yu first walked to the nearest product section and clicked on the description.

Cloud Howl - Basic Type (War Machine: Ballista) Manufacturing Blueprint, Price: 15,000 Source Crystals.

Remaining quantity: one

Tang Yu took two more breaths and bought it without hesitation.

War machines are undoubtedly good things. Unlike ancient society, where they could only be used for sieges, in his view, the greatest use of war machines is to deal with BOSS.

Especially the super-large demonic beasts.

Take that giant beetle as an example. Even if it were an awakened being of the same level... under certain circumstances, it would be difficult for a human weapon of that size to inflict fatal damage on a demonized beast.

However, the fatal flaw of these mutated beasts is also their excessive size, making it best to deal with them using war machines.

The energy-concentrating cannon at the Lin Dong Shelter is also a type of war machine, but Tang Yu thinks it should be classified as a money-burning weapon.

He estimated that that single shot would have burned at least tens of thousands of source crystals.

Even a single strike from heaven and earth wouldn't be this extravagant. Only a place like the Lin Dong Shelter could afford to burn so many source crystals.

After putting away the blueprint, Tang Yu didn't look at the other blueprint. Instead, he browsed through the other items first, and finally came to the item display case containing the blueprint.

Click to open.

Tang Yu smiled.

Floating vehicle (vehicle) manufacturing blueprint, price: 22,000 Source Crystals.

Remaining quantity: 1.

Tang Yu took down the blueprints and opened them to look at the various parameters inside.

These floating war chariots are engraved with multiple runes, including acceleration runes, levitation runes, sturdiness runes, energy resistance runes, energy gathering runes, and so on.

It is extremely fast, can float or even fly at low altitudes, and has a certain attack capability. Its defense is also excellent. The defensive runes engraved on it are even linked together to form a small rune array, which is something he cannot yet understand.

Unfortunately, the runes on these vehicle blueprints are embedded in the blueprints themselves and can only be used on this floating war chariot. They cannot be separated, and he has no way to extract the blueprints for these runes.

The floating tanks have fully met his requirements. However, they do have some drawbacks. These tanks are relatively small and can only accommodate two to three people. But these are minor flaws. More can be manufactured to meet the requirements.

Tang Yu looked through the data line by line and came across the manufacturing requirements.

"Requires a level 3 workshop, 200 units of iron, and 500 units of source crystal..."

He nodded, these were no problems, and continued reading, "10 units of tungsten iron, 10 units of black stone, 10 units of star-patterned steel, 10 units of mithril..."

Suddenly, he had round eyes.

What the hell is this?!
