Chapter 435: Chapter 435

But speaking of which, finding a weapon for Xiao Meng... is really not easy.

Xiao Meng is incredibly strong, with formidable defense, and even has a speed boost at short distances. He can even use extreme cold spray, just like a heavy tank barreling through!

The downside... his attack power isn’t that strong, or rather, he lacks firepower.

Bai was right, we do need to figure out a way to get Xiao Meng a weapon.

How about taking this opportunity to work on the integrated forging workshop tomorrow morning, and then forge a weapon suitable for Bai?

Lin Yue thought of this and made a decision.

Many things have been delayed due to the Lizardman and beggar.

Greenhouse, melting furnace, integrated forging workshop...

Even opening treasure boxes hasn’t been as enjoyable.

If it weren’t for their interference, Lin Yue believes he could organize many things logically.

Exploring the Secret Realm to gather various resources, exploring the Underground Ruins, building roads, smelting, forging, planting, breeding, mining...

Looking at it now, the only thing that’s been going smoothly is the continuous upgrades of the Shelter to defend against these green fellows.

By now, it’s already late at night.

Lin Yue stretched, opened the system panel, and contacted Fei Yue.

Once this is done today, it’s straight to bed; even though there’s not much to do tomorrow, staying energized is still very important.

"Lin Yue, we’ve returned from the Secret Realm, and we must give you what we owe you from last time. Reply as soon as you see this."

In the private chat interface with Fei Yue, he had sent this message just a short while ago. Lin Yue recalled that he was passionate about driving the armored vehicle then, so he didn’t pay attention to this.

The thing mentioned last time was probably the crossbow arrow design and various supplies that Fei Yue’s Refugee Village owed him during the Lizardman night raid.

At that time, the crossbow arrows played a major role in defending the Refugee Village.

However, since there weren’t many resources on hand and they had to migrate, Fei Yue proposed to owe it for the time being and repay later, which he accepted.

Now, it seems Fei Yue has gathered the promised items in the past two days.

It seems he’s rather trustworthy; who’s to say Fei Yue isn’t fit to be a leader?

Fei Yue has grown considerably since that battle, in every respect, becoming more than a qualified leader. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovelfire.net

Now, by proactively bringing this up, he further proves his character.

In this Otherworld, there are no legal or moral constraints.

No one mandates that promises must be kept, betrayals never happen, or alliances and camaraderie are maintained.

But some still understand that even without constraints, these things should still be done.

The reason Lin Yue agreed to allow them to owe it for a while was to test them.

If they failed, they’d become strangers, and everything would be for naught.

But if they succeeded, whatever the relationship was, it would continue to be maintained.

Alliances in the Otherworld are fragile, and relationships are as if treading on thin ice.

Trust is the rarest commodity in this Otherworld.

"Fei Yue, I’m ready on my end, thank you for keeping your promise."

After replying, Lin Yue stood up and stretched his muscles. As he felt the slightly formed curves, he marveled at how much this Otherworld had changed people.

Before coming here, he was a lean, common young man. After a month, his physical condition, strength, and build had significantly changed.

He had to say, he definitely became much healthier, and his routine was adjusted too.

"We’ve also just returned to the Shelter not long ago. This time we gained a lot. Also, the Lizardman’s Sweat Blood is quite effective. Thank you again. I’ve set up the exclusive trade item page, go trade quickly." Fei Yue’s message came through at that moment.

He finally seems to have the demeanor of a leader, not always "domineering people domineering people." He’s doing quite well.

Lin Yue opened the world channel and quickly found the exclusive trade.

[You have obtained: 400 units of Zinc Alloy, 400 units of plexiglass, 200 units of asphalt road surface]

Hmm? Is it more than expected?

Lin Yue checked the chat records and recalled it should be 300 units of alloy, 300 units of plexiglass, and 200 units of asphalt road surface.

"You’ve given extra, Fei Yue."

Take what you should, don’t take what you shouldn’t.

"It’s our token of appreciation. Without your crossbow arrow design and the intel on Lizardman’s Sweat Blood, we’d be worlds apart from you now, wouldn’t we? Please don’t decline."

Fei Yue sent over a photo of him with everyone in the Refugee Village, all looking quite joyful, and Fei Yue giving a thumbs up.

Oh, just praised you for being like a leader, and you’re back to being so quickly.

But, did these folks just get pulled out of water? They’re drenched with sweat.

"Then I’ll gratefully accept. Do you have any excess alloy or anything needed? I can see if I can trade with you."

Lin Yue placed all the new items in a giant warehouse. As he saw the warehouse become a bit more crowded, he felt much better.

The asphalt road is replenished, and the rarest alloy is acquired.

By the way, didn’t I just get two alloy packs?

Lin Yue took the two assorted alloy packs from the treasure box, and the two boxes disappeared subsequently.

[Confirm to open assorted alloy packs?]

Do even these need confirmation?

He couldn’t help but complain, heading to an empty area, wanting to see how much alloy the system would grant, and what quantity of alloy qualifies as a "big pack."

And since there are two, may as well open both!

He glanced back at Bai, who was walking back and forth on the armored vehicle, touching his armor: "Confirm to open."

At this moment, a flash suddenly erupted before his eyes!

[You have obtained: Titanium Alloy X30, Zinc Alloy X60, Hard Aluminum Alloy X60, Brass X30, White Copper X30, Stainless Steel X60, Manganese Steel X60!]

Something amazing just happened?

Lin Yue looked at the Storage Space and placed the thirty pieces of alloy, which he’d never seen before, on the ground, staring at the smooth and shiny surface, his heart pounding!

Ever since he mined a tiny bit of Titanium Iron Ore at the Ice Lizard Cave, he coveted this legendary alloy, often seen in advanced equipment like aero-space technology.

However, the melting furnace was too weak and never started, leaving the Titanium Iron Ore stored in a corner of the warehouse. If left alone, the furnace might rust and become scrap sooner or later.

"Titanium Alloy... this is probably the best available material right now." Lin Yue took a deep breath.

If the Shelter, various weapons, armors, Exoskeleton, Mechanical Arm, robot dog, and such all switch to Titanium Alloy...

Then, truly, there’d be nothing to fear.

"It’d be nice if it were really like that... but 30 units of Titanium Alloy are enough to do a lot."

Lin Yue took out the Celestial Dragon Armor and Celestial Dragon Battle Helmet.

Their defense capabilities are self-evident, as there are almost no weapons that can break them.

The Lizardman and beggar weapons are still in the cold weapon era. Even if a storm of arrows came, Lin Yue would just need to crouch with the Alloy Explosion-Proof Shield covering his legs and face to be fine.

Arrows, even Armor-Piercing Arrows, probably can’t penetrate his defense.

However, everything needs to be thoroughly prepared, who knows about contingencies.

He came before the Poison Celestial Dragon’s shell pile, then immediately opened the world channel and found a wooden leg armor design map in exchange for 2kg of vegetables.

After finishing the wooden leg armor, he used the Universal Upgrade Design Map to upgrade it to Zinc Alloy material!

Next, upgraded to Celestial Dragon Leg Armor!

"It’s done, then we can upgrade it to Titanium Alloy now."

[Upgrading the complete Celestial Dragon Armor Set to Titanium Alloy Celestial Dragon Armor Set requires Intermediate Universal Upgrade Design Map X3!]

Just as expected, this is a huge leap, so it requires three Intermediate Universal Upgrade Design Maps.

Lin Yue was decisive!
