Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 16 [Traveler's Gloves] Mode Switch
After hanging up the phone, Shen Jin felt a little conflicted.
Yang Ao's father, Yang Tianyao, was the boss of the Future Pharmaceutical Company before the end of the world. He had actually been secretly transferred to Tianluodiwang a long time ago and served as the chief engineer of the First Research Institute.
After Yang Tianyao confirmed that his son was still alive, he talked a lot with Shen Jin and learned about everything Yang Ao had done after the apocalypse. Then... he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had untied some kind of knot in his heart. This was nothing. What really bothered Shen Jin was that Yang Tianyao asked him not to tell Yang Ao about this.
"Why? Wouldn't it be better for father and son to be reunited?"
"Since he is living well with you now, there is no need to add more shackles . He may look carefree, but... he is very filial. If he knew I was still alive, he would be constrained in doing things. We have studied the path of gene lock transcendence. Only by being fearless and risking one's life can one reach a higher level..."
The conversation ended like this. Yang Tianyao talked about Tianluodiwang’s research on the path of gene lock. No one knows a son better than his father, so what he said is probably right.
"Alas... Yang Ao is destined to be an orphan like me for a while!"
Shen Jin also inquired about his parents, hoping to see if they had also entered the Tianluodiwang department to do some secret work, but... Hu Shou didn't know the existence of these two people, so Shen Jin thought that his parents might be... Hu Shou's superiors!
Isn't it reasonable that your status is higher than his?
Shen Jin could only think so.
After finishing the phone call with Tianluodiwang, it was already the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Shen Jin was not sleepy at all. He returned to the hall, where the radio was already replaying the Spring Festival Gala program. It was a rare occasion for the core figures of Home No. 1 to get together.
Shen Jin and Shang Qian looked at each other and said, "Let's talk about the future, shall we?"
"Great!" Everyone looked at him with interest. From completing the killing of the zombie tide to the New Year, everyone was just repeating their previous work. There is still no clear direction. The zombies' time lock can't wait!
Now... Home No. 1 has become a large settlement under the umbrella of Tianluodiwang. Not only does it have material support and an official title, it also means that they have to take on more responsibilities and obligations. On New Year's Eve alone, the number of survivors who poured into Home No. 1 was as high as 5,200, and there will be more in the future until all the people in Q City have entered.
This is something Shen Jin is happy to see, and it is also an important reason why he chose to join the Tianluodiwang. The system's tasks have become permanent tasks. For every 100 survivors joining the base, one [World Coin] will be obtained. Today, Shen Jin obtained 52 [World Coins]. The system will send him a message after a while. In addition to sheltering survivors, killing evolved zombies of different levels will also obtain different numbers of [World Coins]. It is also possible to expand the scope of the base.
In the coming period of time, Shen Jin will definitely make arrangements around these permanent tasks, but if you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools!
"Everyone, please tell us about your recent experience using the three pieces of Artisan Soul equipment!"
"Uh... let me speak first?" Lu Daizhen lowered her head slightly , letting her long bangs cover her beautiful eyes. She had been experimenting for two days, and she wanted to use this method to do something meaningful for the base.
"Sure, just chat casually!"
"The power granted by this equipment is too strong. The large space storage capacity allows everyone to become a mobile material supply station. Whether it is going out to collect resources or marching for a long time, it will greatly improve efficiency. I see that several other captains have even brought a large amount of building and decoration materials from outside. As long as the tools are durable enough, we can even dig through Q City! The second is the ability to build. The work that originally required large machinery to complete can now be done better by one person. For a wall as large as Home No. 1, if everyone is mobilized to work together, it can be done in one day. Of course, durability is a problem. The gloves can be used for a longer time and can dig and place 10,000 blocks, but the [Iron Pickaxe] and [Iron Shovel] are only 1500. The number of times it can be used, each person needs to carry more than one to maintain this ability, and the problem of consumables may be relatively large. Finally... I feel that the attributes of this set of equipment are a bit imba. If an ordinary person obtains it, it can also pose a threat to Home No. 1. Our current city walls are built with stones. If someone with bad intentions obtains these three pieces of equipment and digging tools, he can tear down our city walls and let the zombies in. I heard from Shang Qian that ordinary people will be released from the inner city soon. They can't deal with evolved zombies. Once a zombie virus breaks out inside, the consequences... are unimaginable! These equipment must be treated as strategic equipment at the control level. We must even be stricter than the guns before the end of the world! The above is what I feel in the past two days!"
What Lu Daizhen said was very comprehensive and detailed, and he had thought it through thoroughly.
"Hmm...that makes sense." Shen Jin had never thought that it would be so serious. He could control the production and distribution of tools, but he could not control people's hearts.
Shang Qian nodded in agreement. "Yes, this is a double-edged sword. While it can bring a lot of convenience, it can also be potentially dangerous... Unless it is someone you trust very much, it should not be given out easily, unless..."
"Unless what?" Yang Ao asked anxiously. He originally thought that these equipments would become popular in the future. By then, the extraordinary people in his team would each have three sets of equipment. They could use swords to kill enemies when advancing and demolish houses to build walls when retreating. How cool would that be!
Shang Qian adjusted her black-framed glasses without lenses. " Unless Shen Jin can find a way to limit these tools from destroying our base, otherwise... it will only work for our small circle!"
"Ah... Although I really want my brothers to use it, Sister Qian is right, it is too destabilizing!"
The others also agreed with Shang Qian's point of view. Those present were all Shen Jin's old team members had fought for inch by inch, and they all cherished it very much.
"etc!"
Shen Jin suddenly thought of the time when he was playing the server of "Minecraft" before the end of the world. In order to avoid this situation, there were instructions for enclosure. Everyone could enclose their own territory so that others could not destroy it. Shen Jin called the system in his heart, [Shen Jin: System, system, can you install a enclosure plug-in for me? ]
【system:……】
Well, Shen Jin never received a response from the system.
Shen Jin took out his [Craftsman's Soul Book] again and looked at the column introducing [Traveler's Gloves], trying to find a way to restrict it, "Huh?"
He found the blind spot!
Since he was quite familiar with the [Craftsman Soul Module], he read it quickly and didn't notice that in addition to the regular introduction... there was a line of small words below:
[You can set whether the user can destroy and place the territory]
territory?
Shen Jin didn't remember having fenced off land, but he had seen this term before in missions. It referred to the closed areas he had surrounded with hard blocks, which were all considered territory. This was how he had completed missions that required expanding the territory before!
Shen Jin took Yang Ao's [Traveler's Gloves] and found that he could change the mode when placing them in the inventory, [Territory Destruction: On]
[Territory placement: Enable]
He simply adjusted them all to the closed state.
"In that case... Yang Ao, come and try again!"
After Yang Ao took it, he took out the [Iron Pickaxe] and "Bang, bang, bang!"
The [cobblestone] on the ground was hit and physical cracks appeared, but it did not turn back into a block.
"this……?"
