I haven’t finished fighting the battle in Volume 3! Chapter 91 The Last System Task
After Shen Jin answered the call from Tianluodiwang, Zhu Dan came over to say goodbye to him, "Brother, we...is this the second time we have fought side by side successfully, right?"
"Well, our current winning rate against the zombie horde is 100%!"
"I should go back to City D!"
"Brother Zhu, please consider staying here. I hope we can fight side by side in the future..."
"Brother, Q City is your home, but D City... is my home. That is the land that feeds me and there are people I care about. Wait... I'll clean up all the zombies over there, and then we can have a drink and chat!"
Shen Jin looked at Zhu Dan, as if he saw himself, the self who was stubbornly wanting to go back to Q City at that time.
People, if you don’t strive and fight for what you love, what’s the point of living?
Shen Jin had to hide in the villa left to him by his parents, just for the countless nights when he woke up in fear... and they suddenly came back.
Zhu Dan left, and the 40 extraordinary people transferred from City D, each holding a small bucket of biogas, also followed Zhu Dan back. Zhu Dan wanted to go to the Hongshui Bay base to see how the people he had protected after the apocalypse were doing now.
…
Shen Jin called everyone over to discuss things together. Those attending the meeting included: Shang Qian, Yang Ao, Fu Wei, Meng San, Tong Zhen, Wu Yong, Qi Tong, Li Zhe, and Lao Wang.
Lu Daizhen and Mi Xiaoli are equivalent to offering sacrifices, contributing their efforts but not participating in politics.
Miao Shubai did not participate because... she is not the captain now. It's not that Shen Jin is angry about her former deputy captain's betrayal, but the girl Miao Shubai... is still too young. A 14-year-old little loli, even if she has obtained extraordinary powers, her mind is not mature enough. If she is pushed to the front again, it will not be a good thing for her. Shen Jin hopes that she will slowly mature after this incident.
Li Moxiao did not participate either. According to her, it was because she had been flying everywhere for the past few days and had not had any chance to take action. She felt very suffocated and needed to play games to vent. Also... with Li Moxiao's analytical ability, she could basically say goodbye to making suggestions.
Li Moxiao, who did not attend the meeting, walked downstairs and took the disappointed Miao Shubai to his room to play "Breakup Kitchen". Soon after, the two girls burst into laughter in the room, and Miao Shubai's smile, which had been missing for a week, returned to his face...
On the top floor of Villa No. 1, ten people were sitting around a large round table.
Shen Jin sat in the main seat and repeated what Tianluodiwang had just said on the phone. The main idea was to get him to join Tianluodiwang and set up Home No. 1 as the official shelter for survivors in Q City. Of course, Shen Jin would still retain his autonomy. Tianluodiwang would only assist him in the next rescue and would regularly allocate supplies to him, such as... Shen Jin's favorite metal materials and crystal cores.
"So... everyone, please share your opinions!"
After Shen Jin finished speaking, everyone fell silent, each thinking about what they were going to say and... what Shen Jin wanted to hear.
Many times, when the leader asks for your opinion, he is not really asking you what you think, but to see if you can keep up with his pace and his thinking. If Shen Jin is mentally prepared not to get involved with Tianluodiwang, then those who strongly suggest joining Tianluodiwang at this time... will be very embarrassed. However... Yang Ao knew that Shen Jin was not such a person. He sorted out his thoughts and spoke first, "Brother Jin, let me say it first... In fact, Tianluodiwang wants to absorb us to join because of its control over the municipal units below. Now that the government of Q City has lost contact, it should be destroyed, so they urgently need to establish an official organization locally to increase their control over Q City and strengthen the confidence of the survivors of Q City in Tianluodiwang. Their starting point is actually not contradictory to ours. After joining Tianluodiwang, we can get their information network, and even... establish base stations to receive national satellite signals and even international satellite signals. From this zombie tide resistance, we can see that Tianluodiwang's information system has helped us a lot, and there is also other material support... So! I think as long as they don't enter our management and maintain our autonomy, we can try to cooperate and win-win!"
Yang Ao's speech was crisp and powerful. Shen Jin nodded with satisfaction, "What you said makes some sense. You are worthy of being the Maori Kogoro of the mystery world..."
"Oh! They are all just empty names!"
Shang Qian had been writing and drawing in her notebook for a long time, and now she was the second to make a suggestion, "First of all, I think it will be difficult for Tianluodiwang not to interfere with our internal management... Before the end of the world, I dealt with the government a lot, and they have a strong desire for control. At that time, if they want to obtain certain management rights within our company, should we give it to them?
If we give it, it will lead to double-edged swordsmanship. If we don't give it, the honeymoon period between us and Tianluodiwang will be over. In fact, our current capabilities are already completely self-sufficient. In Q City, we are already the strongest armed force. We can definitely take over more territories and then trade with Tianluodiwang on an equal footing.
Spring is coming, our arable land is ready, the fertilizer plant is producing fertilizer, and the survivors are ready to work on the farm. Our food production will definitely be sufficient this year, and in the end times, food... is still hard currency.
At that time, whether it is a satellite base station or other materials, they can be exchanged for our food.
In summary, I don’t recommend joining the dragnet, but maintaining a cooperative relationship is good! "
Shen Jin nodded again, "That makes sense..."
Yang Ao and Shang Qian opened the topic, and everyone else spoke freely. Lao Fu said, "Let me tell you something you didn't mention. The zombies are evolving... Their time locks will be opened in half a year, and the situation will definitely change drastically by then. The transportation of food will be a big problem. I don't recommend making such long-term plans. We should take the present into consideration and focus on strengthening our extraordinary power and clearing the zombies quickly. Only in this way can we make the most favorable choices for us. So... I suggest joining the Tianluodiwang and obtaining satellite base stations and other material support first. I have many kinds of chemical and biological materials that need the support of the Tianluodiwang main laboratory..."
Meng San: "As long as it doesn't affect my sword-drawing speed, you can choose whatever you want. I'll listen to you, Boss!"
Tong Zhen: "As long as we don't change, I think it's all right!"
Wu Yong: "I... just know how to apply fertilizers and plant crops. Just don't let it affect spring ploughing!"
Qi Tong: "From my own perspective, I hope to join. In this way, we at least have an official identity, just like the ancient people who held the emperor hostage to control the princes. Identity is very important. This is necessary to increase people's recognition of us!"
Li Zhe: "Brother Jin, actually... the choice is up to you. As long as our extraordinary power is strong enough, we can tear it down even if they choose to cooperate. If they choose not to cooperate, we can also ask them to provide us with materials. Firepower is justice!"
Lao Wang stroked his source of wisdom, which was a bit prickly, which made him very uncomfortable. "Boss, let me explain briefly. If you join, you will get technical and material support. If you don't join, there will be no change. Mr. Shang is concerned about the issue of autonomy. He is very foresighted and deserves to be the youngest vice president!"
"Ahem!" Shang Qian coughed, indicating that there was no need to flatter like that anymore.
"So, rather than saying this is a question of choice, it's better to say this is a question of problem solving. As long as we can ensure our autonomy, then we should join. After all, it's all free. Rescuing the survivors in Q City is something we would do even if they don't ask, right?"
Shen Jin's eyes lit up: "Old Wang is worthy of being Old Wang. He has a very vicious view of things. He gets more evil as he gets older!"
Shen Jin finally decided: "Let's join Tianluodiwang! An official identity and some visible resource support are very helpful. For example, Tianluodiwang's work style is different from the previous government. Under the leadership of Hu Shou, their philosophy is: no matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat. In terms of autonomy... Li Zhe is right. As long as we have enough extraordinary power, why should we be afraid of fighting for power?"
Shang Qian nodded, she was also convinced.
Shen Jin fed his ideas back to Tianluodiwang, and Shi Lai reported to Hu Shou in surprise: "Commander Hu, Shen Jin agreed join Tianluodiwang!"
"Very good. From now on, as long as they are one of us, they will come to the headquarters sooner or later. I look forward to the moment when our scientists meet the technological superpowers...haha!"
Hu Shou found it funny when he thought about Lao Yang counting various scientific laws with a serious face, but being criticized by an unreasonable technological psychic right in front of him.
"Oh, right... Xiao Shi, tell Shen Jin to help keep an eye on Lao Yang's son. He was last seen in Q City, and that's a concern for Lao Yang..."
"yes!"
In the evening broadcast of the Dragnet, "The official branch of the Dragnet in Q City, H Province: The No. 1 Home Base has been established, covering an area of about 140 square kilometers, with a very high defense level, and is located near the old railway station. After hearing the news, all survivors in Q City must go to the No. 1 Home Base for refuge..."
Everyone who was listening to the radio gathered together, but no one noticed that Shen Jin suddenly froze . [Congratulations on obtaining: World Line x 1]
[Ding~! The quest "Clues to the World Line" is completed, and you will be rewarded with 200 World Coins and the expansion module "Craftsman's Soul Armor"]
[Gain: World Coins x 200]
[Ding! Because the "Craftsman's Soul" pre-module of "Craftsman's Soul Armor" is not activated, it is temporarily invalid]
[System prompt: All your novice tasks have been completed, and the permanent task "Defend the Blue Planet" will be launched]
[Permanent Mission: Defend Blue Planet]
[Instructions: You are already a mature host. Use your power to drive away the zombies and defend your homeland! ]

[ps: The number of permanent tasks will increase based on the host's knowledge]
After the broadcast ended, Shen Jin came to the workshop alone.
This [World Line] was obtained the second after Tianluodiwang announced that Homeland No. 1 would become the official settlement of Q City. The result was obvious. "The power of the official announcement... is really great!"
Shen Jin obtained the [World Line] he had been longing for instantly after he was recognized by Tianluodiwang and the information was passed on.
"I was originally considering which module to open in the [World Line], but now the Tinker's Soul expansion module is here, and it's the very powerful Tinker's Soul Armor. There's no way around it, Tinker's Soul, open it for me!"
[Lost: World Line × 1]
[Lost: World Coins x 100]
[System prompt: The basic module of Artisan Soul is enabled, and the expansion module "Artisan Soul Armor" is effective]
Shen Jin looked at the [Craftsman Soul Module] which was also lacking in some features. He had to upgrade it later. Like the [Industrial Module], he needed to spend [World Coins] to unlock more content. "Craftsman Soul... I haven't seen you for a long time. Let's try these two first!"
Shen Jin found the materials in the warehouse and made two very practical equipment that came with the original version:
[Craftsman's Backpack], [Traveler's Gloves]
As he unlocked the [Craftsman's Soul Module], an extra equipment slot appeared on his body, which included space for a backpack and gloves. After equipping the [Craftsman's Soul Backpack], Shen Jin's internal space directly expanded by 27 grids!
This means that Shen Jin can bring another 27 [iron storage boxes], and the amount of supplies that can be stored in them will be greatly increased!
Shen Jin looked at the [Traveler's Gloves] which looked very normal. They were almost like a pair of cotton gloves. He put them on with both hands without going to the equipment bar to operate. He immediately took out the [Diamond Pickaxe] and dug at the [cobblestone] under his feet. With two swings, he dug out the [cobblestone]. "The excavation speed is increased. This is very beneficial in battle and daily life. It can also be upgraded through [Redstone] (Graphite). Wearing a pair of gloves is equivalent to enchanting all equipment with [Efficiency III]!"
Shen Jin took off his [Traveler's Gloves] and [Diamond Pickaxe] which had not yet been upgraded and placed them on the table next to him.
Next, he would study other projects of the Artisan Soul. The equipment of his extraordinary team... was finally going to be upgraded. From now on, it would no longer be [Iron Sword] per person, but:
Great sword, long sword, rapier;
machete, cleaver, scythe;
Daggers, hammers, lumberjack axes... and more.
There are also armors made of more materials, with various attributes, and they can be upgraded and strengthened!
The same extraordinary person, if equipped with Artisan Soul armor and Artisan Soul weapons, his combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.
"Brother Jin, Brother Jin, can you chat for a while?" Yang Ao shouted outside the workshop, "Come in!"
After Yang Ao came over, he talked with Shen Jin for a long time about the release and resettlement of foreign survivors. Because he was in charge of guarding the city gates, he needed a clearer policy for the large number of survivors who would definitely arrive in the future.
After the two chatted for a while, Yang Ao looked at the gloves on the table and put them on. "It's quite warm, leather? By the way... you, a transcendent, still need to wear gloves? You won't feel cold even if you run naked, right?"
"Uh... Mainly it increases the speed at which I swing my pickaxe, and I guess it can also increase the speed at which I swing my weapons a bit!"
"Hiss! So magical?"
Yang Ao picked up the [Diamond Pickaxe] next to him. He didn't believe that a broken pair of gloves could increase a person's speed. This was unscientific!
He spun a few times in the air, feeling nothing, then slammed the ground quickly a few times, and suddenly!
The [cobblestone] block on the ground shrank into a pocket-sized model...
“Ah, this!”
Shen Jin and Yang Ao looked at each other.
…
Late at night, in an ordinary matchbox house, there lived only a woman. She used to be the most envied woman in the survivor area. It was rumored that she was a classmate of the great lord Shen Jin. Now she was banished to the cold palace and no one cared about her anymore. Xing Lingmin ate hard steamed buns with empty eyes. Every day she would think of the luxurious life of that month, and every day she would think of the ruthless tone of Shen Jin and Li Zhe...
“Squeak~!”
The door opened, and Xing Lingmin looked at the person who came in, with an expression of disbelief and surprise on her face.
"Brother Jin!"
Shen Jin stood at the door, his face half inside and half outside, flickering, "Xing Lingmin, are you willing to trade your face and skills for a chance to...rise to prominence?"
