Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 58: Dragnet for help
At 10 o'clock in the evening, cities everywhere are quiet, but Home No. 1 is brightly lit.
Shen Jin and his group of people were sitting around a round dining table in the cafeteria with a radio in the middle. The evening news was about to start, and this was the daily reunion moment for everyone. Fu Wei in particular rarely showed up except for the evening news, and stayed in his laboratory. As for why he chose the cafeteria as the location?
This was Li Moxiao's strong request, because she had been eating dinner until now...
After listening to the radio news, she went back to the bedroom to play games. "Shen Jin, I finished the game about female ketones. Are there any similar games for two people? I found out! Two-player games are twice as fun! Especially... Shu Bai is even worse than me, hahaha!"
Shen Jin was shocked. There was actually someone who could make Li Moxiao feel superior in the game. "Shu Bai...did he play with you using his feet?"
"What do you mean? Don't you recognize my ability? You know, my mother used to train me to be an e-sports player!" Li Moxiao was dissatisfied.
"Good fellow! Are you still a good e-sports player? Are you the famous... e-sports king?"
"You! Humph! I'm angry!" Li Moxiao pouted and tilted his head in anger, refusing to look at Shen Jin. Shen Jin: "Ah, this..."
Then Li Moxiao rolled his eyes and added, "There is no such thing as three cute kids that can't be coaxed!"
"Oh! I thought you were going to drink my yogurt... Hey!"
Shen Jin casually put down an iron storage box with a [Feeding] label on it and took out three different flavors of Cutie Dolls ice creams from it. Because the space and time inside the box were not flowing, white ice mist was still rising from the ice creams.
There is a story about the origin of these ice creams. After Shen Jin gained the ability to cube, he decided to dig a passage from underground. The first shop he dug up was an ice cream wholesale store. He learned that there were not only so many popsicles in the freezer, but also a large cold storage with a large amount of ice cream. Shen Jin took them all away at that time, thinking that he could eat ice cream to fill his stomach when he was hungry in the future. There was a lot of milk and sugar in this thing.
Unfortunately, apart from this ice cream shop, Shen Jin never bought ice cream again because after the power outage, the ice cream in the ice cream shop, which had no large cold storage, quickly went bad.
Li Moxiao is eating so many of them now that it is very likely that there are only a few well-preserved ones left in the whole country...
Li Moxiao took the three cute snacks, a barely perceptible smile appeared on her pretty face, and her big dark eyes flashed with a gleam like a cat stealing fish.
"Hey~! Hey, it's delicious!"
Shen Jin looked at Li Moxiao, who was like a well-behaved kitten after getting the food, with a look of relief in his eyes. If possible, he wanted Li Moxiao to have such simple happiness forever, and she would no longer have to forcibly break through the genetic lock for him, expand into a giant, stand in front of everyone, and transform into a Valkyrie!
During countless nights in City D, every time Shen Jin closed his eyes, he would see the scene of Li Moxiao lying in a tide of corpses with blood gushing out of his body. He could only watch from the side, waking up in grief and powerlessness.
"Come, uncle, pat your head!"
Shen Jin put his big hand on Li Moxiao's hair and rubbed it casually twice, which caused Li Moxiao to roll his eyes twice.
"Big hentai! Stop touching me all the time!"
Shang Qian glanced at Shen Jin and pinched little Shen Jin under the table, "Hiss!"
"What's wrong, weird uncle?" Li Moxiao asked, blinking his big eyes, with a few spots of milky white cream hanging on the corners of his mouth, "Ahem... It's okay, the broadcast is about to start!"
“Ssssssssss—”
The radio was no longer playing the endlessly looping sound of snowflakes; there were fluctuations. Shen Jin, Li Moxiao, Yang Ao, Shang Qian, and Fu Wei gathered around to listen. Shen Jin fished out two bags of chacha melon seeds from the [feeding] box, and everyone ate while listening. It felt like the old men listening to an opera in the afternoon before the end of the world.
"Hello, dear listeners and friends. Today, the China Tianluodiwang exclusive channel brings you the evening news. First of all, friends who are listening to the radio, please be sure to find a safe place. Zombies are less active at night and generally do not move . Make sure there are no zombies standing around..."
"Today's latest satellite observation data: Currently, the remaining population in our country remains at around 8%. Currently, human casualties are decreasing, and the number of zombies is still steadily decreasing. I hope that extraordinary people from all over the country will continue to fight against zombies. There is a promising future!"
“…”
"Finally, I'd like to insert a message. The Equipment Department of Tianluodiwang needs to find a supernatural person with outstanding ability in making cold weapons to assist Tianluodiwang in making new cold weapons that can fight against first-order and second-order evolved zombies. Supernatural people with this talent must contact Tianluodiwang's Equipment Department. This is related to the progress of the nationwide zombie eradication. Those who are able to assist Tianluodiwang in solving this problem can obtain various new research results of Tianluodiwang. Those who provide relevant clues will also obtain 'gene medicine' or new medicines that enhance supernatural powers!"
"The Dragnet hotline is ×××××××××"
"This concludes tonight's report..."
After the broadcast was turned off, Fu Wei went to the laboratory naturally, and Li Moxiao went back to the bedroom naturally, as if they had not heard the last message at all. Shen Jin looked at the two of them with a sore face: "It's really the end for them! You can tell at a glance that they are just old fat otakus!"
Shang Qian smiled: "What do you mean? Can your ability to make weapons... be exposed?"
"Oh, what's the point of exposing or not exposing? Didn't you hear from Tianluodiwang that anyone who provides relevant clues can get the potion? There are so many people in our base, and this thing has never been hidden. Naturally, someone will report it to Tianluodiwang. Now we are a family with Tianluodiwang, so we should contact them as soon as possible to avoid any resentment in the future!"
Yang Ao pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Jin, can you teach your weapon refining skills to outsiders? "
"No, you can only assist me with some of the work, but I need to do the final steps myself!"
"Oh... so that means that even if someone gets your big furnace and mold, they can't copy this set of skills? Then we are not providing them with help in making weapons , but... making a deal with Tianluodiwang!"
"trade?"
"That's right! Brother Jin, you see, the Dragnet is said to be able to compete with first- and second-tier weapons. This proves that the equipment they forged before, such as the Corpse Slaughter Axe, has become weaker. The length has not changed, but... the hardness is definitely not enough! So the time it can last is also shorter!"
"Please speak normally!"
"Oh, their weapons are no longer enough to defeat the advanced zombies, and the gap in the number of their weapons must be huge! It's definitely not a matter of a few hundred or a few thousand weapons, but tens of thousands! We can take this opportunity to trade a large number of any materials we need!"
Shen Jin nodded thoughtfully: "That's right... It just so happens that I still have a few materials that I can't find. It's far better to ask Tianluodiwang for help than to rely on my own strength!"
