Chapter 27 : Jimmy the Designer

Chris thought very long term.

When he had just established the shelter, he had realised that the shelter was built underground unable to observe the situation above ground in time.

It was very likely that the enemy would quietly touch the top of the refuge and catch himself off guard.

Only, at that time, his thoughts were still relatively young.

Only the mutated creatures were considered, not the threat from humans.

The moment the three scavengers were able to come above his refuge with impunity, he sensed a strong danger.

It deepened his thoughts even more!

A set of above ground defences must be established!

This measure should cover a hundred metres in a square over the refuge, only then would he be able to have a buffer.

After sending his thoughts to the opposite party, Avril, via private chat, the opposite party fell silent.

It was only after three to five minutes that the opposite party's reply arrived.

"Yes!"

Chris' face was joyful after seeing the other party's reply.

With professional drawings, he could build out the ground defences himself.

Thinking about it made people excited!

"Right, remember to leave the circuit system inside the design."

Chris added another condition after thinking for a while.

This time, the other party replied quickly.

"You already have an electrical device inside your shelter???!"

From her reply, Chris could see intense shock as well as consternation.

But soon after, the opposite party withdrew the sentence.

After an interval of a few minutes, it seemed to have digested the shocking news before slowly sending a single word.

"Yes!"

"Your shelter is an underground shelter, right?"

"That's right."

"I need a map of the area around your shelter to confirm how wide and deep your underground shelter can be built as well as to confirm the specific construction plan for the above ground defences, only with a detailed map can I officially start work."

"Okay, I'll give it to you as soon as possible!"

After thinking for a while, Chris extracted 100ml of Spiritual Energy Water from the warehouse and traded it.

"Trade item: 100ml of Spiritual Energy Water"

"Required item: none"

"Introduction: this is the deposit"

The opposite party instantly accepted the transaction he sent after seeing it.

"I'll give you the remaining Spiritual Energy Water when you hand in your design."

"Good!"

Seeing that things had been negotiated, Chris closed the system interface and stood up to move his muscles.

Afterwards, he took out a pen and paper from the warehouse and led Erbai out of the refuge.

The matter of building above ground defences was something he looked at very seriously.

After all, no one knew when danger would come, and only by taking precautions in advance could one have the courage to face danger head on.

Chris was constantly walking around the shelter, writing and drawing on paper, and Erbai was running around his feet.

Avril didn't tell him specifically how big he needed to draw the area around the shelter.

So he was going to draw it bigger, so that when the other side shot, he could make sure that there were no oversights.

For a whole day, Chris spent his time on this matter, and it wasn't until it was getting dark that he led Erbai back into the shelter.

Although drawing drawings wasn't a physical job, the whole day of walking around still made him feel a little tired.

Throwing the drawings on the ground, Chris slumped into a chair, took out the Spiritual Energy Water from the storage and took a big gulp.

After moistening his throat and feeling that his physical strength had slightly recovered, he sat up straight and picked up the drawings.

The drawings were full of various contour lines and all sorts of labelling.

Only, although the information about the terrain on the drawings was very detailed, there was nothing about the location labelled.

Chris was not stupid, he was only asking the other party to design a shelter, a topographical drawing was enough.

If it was more detailed, he was really afraid that the other party would follow the drawings and touch his shelter.

Opening the system interface, Chris traded several drawings to Avril.

It was as if Avril had been opening the system interface and waiting for his transaction, the trade request was just released and the opposite party instantly accepted it.

"See if this drawing is enough."

Chris saw that the drawing trade was accepted, so he sent a private chat and asked.

"Just a moment!"

Avril's message replied quickly.

Meanwhile, in one of the group shelters, a little girl with a delicate face stood up.

"Uncle, Chris sent over his terrain, see if you can design it!"

With an excited and thrilled expression on her face, the little girl waved the drawings in her hand and ran to the side of a middle-aged man.

She was Avril, belonging to the Green Luan Refuge Group, a clerical staff in the refuge.

Responsible for the replacement of materials, collection of intelligence, and trading in the refuge.

And the middle-aged man in front of her was Jimmy, the boss of the clerical department in the Green Luan Refuge.

Before crossing into the survival game, Jimmy was a star designer in a very famous design institute in Bluestar.

Not only did he often appear in magazines, many internationally renowned landmarks were also from his hands.

Even the design of the Green Luan shelter was all done by him.

This time, the design of the shelter for Chris would also come from him.

Chris, who was waiting for Avril's reply, was sitting beside the wooden table with a bored face, drinking chicken soup.

Drinking too much chicken soup was too tiresome.

He then turned his gaze to the vegetable cultivation pot in the corner of the shelter.

Previously, it was placed in the middle of the shelter because the space of the shelter was too small and could only be placed there.

Now that the space of the shelter had become larger, he moved the vegetable cultivation basin to the corner.

There, it was just enough to be irradiated by the sunlight passing through the skylight.

Right now, the leaves of the oat greens were already as big as two thumbnail bellies.

Crops like oleaginous vegetables take a long time to germinate, and by the time the leaves grow very fast after germination, after the leaves are all spread out, its growth slows down again, depositing nutrients to bloom and bear fruit.

He doesn't need oleander to blossom and bear fruit, he eats its leaves, and when the leaves grow up it's time to harvest.

According to the momentum of the growth of the oleander in front of him, he felt that in two or three more days' time, the oleander would be able to start harvesting.

Continuing to look down, the lower crops were only sprouting tiny shoots because they were planted later.

At that moment, the system alerted that Avril's reply had finally arrived, and Chris hurriedly opened it to check.

"Uncle Jimmy said he can design it, and he can give you the first draft tomorrow."

Seeing this message, he froze.

Who is Uncle Jimmy?

Chris was a little curious as he asked, "Aren't you the one who designed it?"

"I'm just an ordinary clerical staff, I don't have the ability to design."

In the Green Luan Refuge, Avril's pretty face flushed when she saw Chris' message.

Knowing that she didn't explain clearly causing the other party to misunderstand, she hurriedly sent a message to explain.

"Don't worry about it, Uncle Jimmy is a very well known designer, the drawings you looked at before are also Uncle Jimmy's works."

Avril explained very seriously, but Chris does not care who the drawings are designed, he spent spiritual energy water, as long as the other party can follow the agreement to make their own satisfaction drawings handed out is good.

Only, listening to the other party's meaning, the other party was an organisation?

She was a civilian, so there were other departments in her organisation?

With Avril's simple sentence, Chris analysed a bunch of them calmly.

But, then he shook his head.

He was merely in a trading relationship with the other party, and never mind the fact that they were trading, the actual distance between the two parties was probably far away.

Shaking his head, he threw out the thoughts in his mind and casually replied with his mind.

"Good, looking forward to your drawings!"

After replying, he was ready to close the system interface, but at that moment, Avril's message was sent over again.

"Sir Chris, we have an interesting item here, do you need it."

"What is it?"

Chris raised an eyebrow when he saw Avril's message, a slight curiosity flooded his heart, what kind of interesting thing?

"It's a treasure map."

"If you need it, 50ml of psychic energy water can be traded to you."

Avril's message replied quickly, immediately sending over the traded item and the offer.

Seeing her message, Chris frowned.

"Treasure map? If you guys have treasure maps in your hands, why don't you go search for them yourselves instead of selling the information?"

He discovered the suspicion the other party displayed almost instantly.

Under normal circumstances, no matter who had obtained the treasure map, the first thing that would come to mind would definitely be to go searching for the treasure themselves, rather than selling the information.

If selling information occurred, then there were only two scenarios.

One was that the treasure map was fake, and the person selling the information was earning the money from selling the fake information.

Another possibility was that the treasures recorded on the treasure map were too low in value to be worth their personal search, which was why they had to sell the treasure map.

Regardless of that situation, the value of this treasure map must not be high.

It was a loss to buy a treasure map like this for 50ml of Spiritual Energy Water.

Chris casually typed and wanted to reject it.

But before his words of refusal were sent, the reply from the opposite side was sent over privately.

"Sir Chris, don't you know the information about the regional chunks?"

Avril's tone was very surprised, and instead of answering his question with a straight face, she rushed at him and asked in return.

What regional chunks, what kind of intelligence is this?

Chris frowned and carefully recalled his memories, but he soon realised that he had never seen this word in the chat interface, and there was not a single bit of intelligence about it in his mind.

Seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, Avril also understood that this Excellency might not be particularly good at gathering intelligence, so she sent a message to introduce Chris.

"When we Survivors entered the Survival Game, we were divided into different small areas, with only 1,000 Survivors in each small area."

"And each small region is a relatively independent map, players from different regions don't have a way to go into other regions yet."

"The address corresponding to this treasure map that we've obtained so far is not in our region, so there's no way for us to search for it even if we wanted to."

"And, even though we have the treasure map, we simply don't know what exactly is hidden in the treasure."
