Chapter 883: Villa Upgrade
Chen Ling'er stared blankly at the mysterious ring that suddenly appeared before her. She subconsciously touched it, and the ring automatically put on her wrist. Then her will entered the ring and she saw a huge amount of supplies, a motorhome, and a floating black dagger.
"A letter?"
Chen Ling'er took out the letter, and when she saw the familiar handwriting and caring words inside, she immediately covered her mouth and tears streamed down her face. "Father, I knew you wouldn't abandon Ling'er."
In his letter, Chen Futu detailed the current situation, as well as the use of the RV and the Shadow Assassin.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside.
Chen Ling'er quickly hugged Xiao Qing and gripped the Shadow Thorn tightly. The figures of the two, one human and one beast, vanished instantly, and then the door was rudely kicked open.
A handsome man who looked like a refined scoundrel looked around suspiciously and said, "She's not here. That's strange. Where did that brat go?"
The man, not seeing anyone, lingered and turned to go elsewhere.
Chen Ling'er and Xiao Qing exchanged a glance and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
It really works. As expected of a seventh-tier weapon sent by the Human Emperor father from billions of miles away, it perfectly concealed their aura and whereabouts.
After a while, once she was sure the searchers had left, Chen Ling'er dared to take Xiao Qing out.
"They're gone, Xiaoqing, we're safe now."
Chen Ling'er excitedly lifted Xiao Qing high in the air. The girl smiled in the sunlight, as if she had regained her former spirit and vitality.
Most importantly, she learned where Aye was. Although he was far away, she still wanted to go there, just in case there was a teleportation array.
Next, Chen Ling'er released the RV, an extremely intelligent, self-driving RV equipped with all the amenities for daily life.
Chen Ling'er took a shower, changed her clothes, and then fell into a deep sleep while holding Xiao Qing. Meanwhile, the RV automatically headed towards Chen Futu's location. Of course, this was destined to be futile. Without a teleportation array, even excluding the dangers encountered along the way, and even without supplies, it would be impossible to cross the vast territory.
On the side of Luanjie Mountain, Chen Futu asked if the system could still locate him.
"Sorry, host, the location has been lost. The next location will require crystal cores to clear away the chaotic will of heaven and earth."
"Alright, I think that girl should be able to handle it."
Chen Futu sighed helplessly.
He then focused his attention on the renovation plans for the villa.
The product of the system upgrade is not a traditional addition of floors, but rather an external extension.
To put it bluntly, the peripherals can be upgraded; for example, the villa, as the core of the base, can become an energy center or something similar.
This upgrade requires crystal nuclei, so the shortage of crystal nuclei remains huge.
The online sales system will continue for another two weeks, so Chen Futu stated the end date of the sales in the announcement.
The announcement drew numerous complaints.
"Brother Lan, Master Lan, Father Lan! Please have mercy on us. We barely survive on your supplies. If you stop selling them to others, how will we live?"
"That's right, we can't just watch so many of us die."
"Lan, do you need a maid? I can do everything: serve tea and water, do laundry, fold blankets, and warm the bed. As long as you provide food and lodging, I don't need anything else."
"You're dreaming. I'd love to have something like that too."
The chaos continued. At this time, someone sent a private message to Chen Futu. It was a major force from the two cities of the Chaotic Realm. They wanted to become agents, and some even said that they did not need to take a cut.
Chen Futu knew their intentions perfectly well. To put it bluntly, they wanted to use resources to attract people from other forces. As long as they had enough resources to attract people to join, other forces would collapse, and they would become the only dominant force.
Chen Futu would never do something for free; if he really wanted to recruit people, wouldn't it be better for him to develop his own power?
The name of Luanjie Mountain will sooner or later resound throughout the heavens!
Unfortunately, it's not the right time to get involved in the conflict in Chaotic City. Perhaps we should start with smaller matters first.
"You mean you're planning to recruit people?"
Hongjie was surprised; she thought Chen Ge would only make this decision after the high temperatures subsided.
Chen Futu explained, "It's not about quantity, but quality. You can send people out to look for those who dare to hunt mutated beings in the scorching heat. They are willing to fight to the death, have not given up hope of survival, and are resilient enough. Such people are more useful when recruited."
"Okay, I'll arrange for people to go out and search tomorrow."
After finishing the meeting, Sister Hong went to the floor for another small meeting. She divided the team of dozens of people into three groups, each with a dozen or so people, and sent them out in three engineering vehicles to find people who met the requirements, preferably lone wolves.
In addition, the engineering vehicles have been modified and equipped with air conditioning, so there is no need to worry about heatstroke. Moreover, traveling counts as a task, and you can earn 100 points every day.
The next day, Ge Fei, Lu Lu'er, and Sister Hong each set off in a car.
They were bored staying in the villa and wanted to go out for some exercise, and perhaps hunt some mutants to relieve the pressure on the villa.
They're not stupid. Chen Ge's resources definitely didn't come for free. He must have spent crystal cores to buy them through unknown channels. So even if Chen Ge can support everyone, they still need to earn some extra money to supplement their household income.
Actually, Chen Futu didn't think too much about what the girls were thinking. The resources sold in the system shop were very cheap, so selling them was like making a profit. However, he had never revealed the price of the resources and was also planning specific operational strategies.
While everyone else was out, Chen Futu and Jiang Yi chatted for a while.
Jiang Yi agreed to use points to exchange for supplies. Whenever team members went out hunting, a portion of the supplies would be handed over to the villa, and the rest could be distributed among themselves or exchanged for points.
After pondering for a long time, Chen Futu asked the system if there was a similar way to record points.
The system replied, "As long as the host upgrades the system by one level, the system can unlock devices and creations with this function for the host."
"alright."
Chen Futu had no choice. The system upgrade might fail, as she was currently a money-devouring beast. However, she had to be upgraded. For example, this upgrade increased her coverage radius to over 5,000 kilometers. Considering that the circumference of Earth is only 40,000 kilometers, another upgrade would likely increase the radius to over 10,000 kilometers, eventually covering the entire Upper Heaven World.
In fact, Chen Futu suspected that the system agreed to online sales for a month in order to upgrade itself and earn crystal cores.
It doesn't allow the host to exploit bugs, but it's quite happy to exploit them itself.
In addition, the system said that the host's share of sales would be further reduced the next time online sales resumed, so Chen Futu does not currently plan to continue online transactions.
By evening, Chen Futu had completed the upgrade of the villa.
The villa now features a huge garden courtyard, a metal gate wall over ten meters high, and an outdoor swimming pool at the back.
All of this is under the protection of the system; nothing can be seen from the outside—it's just an ordinary high-walled manor.
The pool is going to be lively tonight...
