Chapter 126: Defense—Monitoring Network Control Console, Electronic Instrument Repair Station
Ding... High-value supplies discovered...
Shelter facility special path discovered...
Discovery...
Workbench list updated!
Yu Yuan looked at the prompt messages appearing on the virtual light screen and revealed a smile.
Shelter special path — [Defense—Surveillance Network Control Console].
Shelter workbench optimization path — [Electronic Instrument Repair Station]
Items added to workbench list — Full-spectrum lighting lamp, wall-mounted air conditioner, washing machine, heating cable, panoramic camera, electronic whiteboard...
This time, it could be said that the [Workbench] list had received a massive update.
Moreover, the newly added craftable items were basically all electronic products, covering everything from daily consumer electronics to office electronic supplies, and even several industrial electronic products.In terms of variety covered, it basically satisfied Yu Yuan's electronic product needs for a long time to come.
But what caught Yu Yuan's attention the most were those two newly discovered shelter paths.
Optimizing the workbench into an electronic instrument repair station was the prerequisite for crafting electronic products.
Surveillance camera lenses, power supplies, network cables, hard drives, switches, and display screens were necessary materials for building the [Surveillance Network Control Console].
Fortunately, most of the construction materials (related electronic products) could be found in this room, with more than enough available. He would start optimizing the [Electronic Instrument Repair Station] as soon as he returned.
Yu Yuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart.
"The Blood Ravens died well! Harris is such a good person!"
The status of the Blood Ravens in his mind had already reached the same level as Fries.
They were the most effective stepping stones on his path to rise.
The next steps were quite simple.
For the supplies in the room, all large items were listed on Taotao Hole. The 90 listing limit directly cleared out more than half of that pile of electronic products. The remaining small items, along with the survival supplies and weapons/ammunition outside, were all tossed into the rabbit ring.
It didn't take long before the room became completely empty.
After confirming there were no omissions, Yu Yuan finally left satisfied.
He entered the sewer, mounted Mie Mie, and raced back to the shelter like the wind.
After providing fresh green grass and clean water for Mie Mie and the seven Cree Mountain sheep, Yu Yuan began the optimization of the [Electronic Instrument Repair Station].
He also entered the warehouse and began a new round of organizing.
Just as Yu Yuan was organizing the warehouse supplies.
Little did he know that his consecutive jump of 1200 ranks within a few hours had caused an uproar among the player community.
The magnitude of his rank jump this time exceeded all previous records.
And he had only been in the game for just over twenty days, hadn't even finished the newbie protection period, yet had already broken into the top 7000 ranks.
This was quite terrifying!
Some veteran players had also guessed some details about Yu Yuan.
And these veteran players were without exception representatives of the Driven Faction.
Stag Shelter, Hive Shelter, Babel Tower Shelter...
In an area with dense mountain forests, abundant resources, and wildlife everywhere.
Tie Xiong sat by the campfire, holding a roasted deer leg in one hand and blood wine in the other, eating heartily.
While eating, he watched Yu Yuan Shelter's ranking almost catching up to his own.
"Hmm~~ Yu Yuan Shelter has indeed opened the title path, and judging by the situation, it should have entered the second stage. For a newcomer to achieve this level... Could it be that like that madman from Moss Cottage, he also has a high-level big shot backing him?"
As a player whose shelter ranking had reached the top 6749, Tie Xiong naturally knew what could cause such a massive rank jump.
There were only a few possibilities, but in the past, those who experienced large rank jumps were all veteran players who had left the newbie protection period. Only they, after long-term resource accumulation, could possibly open the title route, thus causing rank jumps.
And Tie Xiong himself was someone who had opened the second stage of the title route, so he naturally understood the difficulty involved.
Now Yu Yuan's appearance had broken the conventional patterns, and Tie Xiong's attitude toward Yu Yuan had changed.
On Yu Yuan's first day entering, Tie Xiong had already set his sights on him.
As a representative of the Driven Faction, Tie Xiong had always been very enthusiastic about player invasions, and this was also why he had reached his current ranking in just one year of playing the game.
But now this newcomer gave him a dangerous feeling.
Although he still believed that Yu Yuan Shelter's accumulation was insufficient to compete with him, their current rankings were already quite close.
Therefore, after consideration, he decided to temporarily abandon targeting Yu Yuan Shelter for invasion.
"Just in time, that madman seems very interested in Yu Yuan Shelter, let him scout the path instead!"
The same situation occurred with several other veteran players.
Precisely because they frequently invaded other players' worlds, they understood even more what caution meant.
They knew when to step forward and when to wait.
But while some detected risks and chose caution.
Others were like sharks smelling blood, forming greedy choices.
The most obvious among them was naturally the owner of Moss Cottage Shelter, Xiao Wu, who had been paying attention to Yu Yuan Shelter all along.
Looking at Yu Yuan Shelter's ranking on the leaderboard, the fervor in his eyes far exceeded before.
His pupils began turning blood-red, his spirit gradually became excited, his expression gradually became morbid.
"Title route, it must be the title route, and it must have opened the second stage. He's definitely not a blank slate player."
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, raised his head, revealing an intoxicated expression.
The corner of his mouth twitched unconsciously.
"Hehe~~ What to do, his existence makes the blood in my body start boiling, what to do!"
"I really want to bite open his carotid artery, freely drink his blood, it must be extremely delicious!"
"To actually open the second stage of the title path, he truly lives up to being the player I've taken a liking to. Even if he has help from high-level players, he's absolutely a genius."
"Geniuses only have the best arrangement by becoming my dependents. Yes, he can only become my dependent! Maybe I can even obtain another rare artifact from him... hehe..."
"Dependent~~~ he must become my dependent. If I can find that high-level player behind him, it would be even more perfect~"
Speaking to the end, Xiao Wu directly spread his arms wide, raised his head and roared out.
His eyes emitted a crimson glow, his wide-open mouth revealed four sharp and elongated canine teeth on top and bottom, and his skin turned deathly pale.
At this moment, he no longer resembled a human form!
"Hmm~~~"
Xiao Wu extended his bright red tongue, lightly licking the corner of his mouth.
He approached a survivor who was hanging up. Xiao Wu only felt the blood throughout his body churning, unbearably uncomfortable.
Taking a large stride, under the other's terrified gaze, his left hand grabbed a handful of hair and pulled to the left.
The survivor's right neck was directly exposed.
Xiao Wu opened his mouth wide and bit down directly on the position of the survivor's carotid artery.
Squelch~
Gulp~~ gulp~~ gulp~~~
Rhythmic sounds of sucking and swallowing blood echoed in the room.
As the swallowing continued, the light in that survivor's eyes increasingly faded away.
Several minutes later.
When Xiao Wu finally revealed an expression of comfort, exhilaration, and satisfaction.
Licking the remaining bloodstains from the corner of his mouth, he turned and left.
Leaving behind only a withered, shriveled, bloodless corpse!
