With a Workbench, I Can Do Anything！

Opening the crafting page and scrolling straight down, Liam found the crafting icon for the workbench.

"Hmm, why is this workbench sky blue? Is there a difference between the colors?"

With this question in mind, Liam looked at the materials required for crafting.

[Workbench]: Wood 0/12, Beaker 0/1, Simple Pliers 0/1, Simple Work Module 0/1, Simple Experiment Module 0/1, Simple Welder 0/1, Simple Cutter 0/1, Iron Block 0/12, Glass 0/2, Circuit Board 0/4, Wire 0/2

The crafting materials were very complex. In addition to these simple modules, there was a lot of other materials that didn't seem like they should be on the workbench.

"Of the materials currently needed, I have wood and iron blocks in stock. It's a good thing I saved a lot before, otherwise, this thing is so big and heavy, the cost of buying it would be too exaggerated."

Rubbing his chin, which was already showing a hint of stubble, Liam began to recall the materials the base still had.

There were still two units of glass left in the shelter.

The last time he made the light channel, he only used a small amount of glass. Liam tried putting it in and found that it completely satisfied the crafting requirements.

As for the beaker and pliers, these two things were revealed along with the workbench, so there was no need to look for them again.

For the remaining circuit boards, Liam went to the sundries room and, after searching for a while, found the damaged circuit boards he had brought back from Shelter No. 2.

At that time, the situation was urgent, and he just grabbed a few that looked better.

But there were still five of them.

At the cost of eight survival points, Liam chose to repair four slightly damaged circuit boards.

There was a lot of wire left over after wiring the shelter, originally intended for expansion, but it came in handy now.

"So now what's missing should be the work module, experiment module, welder, and cutter."

Thinking about these four large items, Liam decided to look for them in the world chat channel.

Rather than waiting for the pre-disaster trading secret realm to try his luck in the regional channel, it was better to spend some points on shipping costs to get them back sooner and strengthen his combat effectiveness.

This was not the time to wait for a discount.

Once most people found the workbench blueprint, these modular items were bound to increase in price.

[Liam: Ahem, excuse me, I'm looking for a simple work module, experiment module, welder, and cutter. Name your price.]

As soon as he finished speaking, the normally calm world chat channel exploded like an atomic bomb!

In order to adapt to individual use of the world chat channel, the game would functionally omit most of the information, which made it even more difficult for everyone to communicate and gather in the channel.

After all, a stream of hundreds of millions of messages was not something the human brain could read.

Even so, in Liam's view, the chat box was still scrolling rapidly.

"I'm in the wasteland, just got off the plane, Ph.D., monthly income of one million. Asking if you're recruiting lab members, I'm very capable!"

"Shut up, the person above me. I'll give you a number, get in the car now! Five seconds, develop a spaceship and come to the underground base."

"I have a simple work module, I'll trade it for 10L of M-energy water!"

[Liam: Don't be ridiculous. Get out of here early if you're sending other random things.]

After a week in the wasteland, Liam's mentality had matured considerably.

He could now say harsh words that he wouldn't have dared to say on Earth before.

At the same time, Liam also chose to be a shameless price-setter.

In market transactions, he was the absolute buyer. There might be many people who had these items, but the current situation was that only Liam had the capital to collect them and pay the game's high shipping costs.

With this in mind, there were suddenly a lot fewer random items in the private requests sent from the trading market.

After filtering, all items were arranged in descending order of price.

"Damn, someone is selling an excellent work module for only 300ml of M-energy water, I'll take it!"

"A simple welder for only 50ml? Not buying it is definitely not something a Chinese person would do!"

"An excellent experiment module plus a 2kg baguette for only 180ml?"

"Good guys, so many people are coming one after another. Isn't this more exciting than Boruto?"

Looking at the increasingly absurd trade requests sent privately through the trading panel, Liam was stunned.

Since when were things so cheap?

When everyone couldn't see each other's quotes, for a mouthful of M-energy water, these people were really fighting, desperately lowering their prices.

After spending only 940ml of M-energy water and 24 disaster points as shipping costs, Liam received a pile of items:

Excellent work module * 1, excellent experiment module * 1, simple welder * 1, simple cutter * 1, screws * 35

Bedroom variable frequency soft light desk lamp * 1, 3km rechargeable walkie-talkie * 2, an electric blanket, a roll of transparent tape, and a 5x zoom telescope.

2Kg baguette, 1 box of red apple drink, a bag of spicy chips, a bag of peanuts.

Going out with less than a small basin of water and coming back with a lot of things, even though Liam had strong concentration at this time, he still felt his heart pounding.

"It turns out that the feeling of being a profiteer is so wonderful... It's a pity I didn't go into business in my last life, I wasted my talent!"

A very small number of people who came to trade in the world chat knew that Liam had already entered the electrical age, so the additional items they offered were very rare electrical appliances.

These things were not as good as scrap metal for people who had difficulty developing electricity or were short of resources.

But for Liam, these things were awesome!

It was minus 20 degrees outside, and he could plug in an electric blanket and get into bed. Wasn't that great?

As for the food, it was all things that were easy to get thirsty after eating, or things like baguettes that could be used as weapons.

However, for Liam, these were not problems.

After sorting and storing all the items, the joy of getting rich quickly was like a tide, crazily hitting him.

With an excited heart, he gathered all the things that needed to be made together.

"I feel like my luck is really amazing."

"This is the first time I've seen a workbench blueprint. These people don't know its value, which is why I was able to get it so easily."

After sighing, Liam started crafting.

Silently, a workbench about the size of a large desk on Earth appeared in the dark, unfurnished space.

With a thought, there was a rumbling sound, and the heavy workbench was placed against the wall of the research center.

"This..."

The workbench, made of ordinary materials, gave1 Liam a great shock when it appeared.

The original single beaker, after being integrated into the workbench's crafting materials, directly spawned a whole set of large glassware.

"Distillation... Extraction... Separation..."

"Refining... Cutting... Welding"

After fiddling with the glassware, a stream of unfamiliar information was instantly transmitted.

Closing his eyes and spending three to five seconds, Liam accepted this information and immediately understood how to use the workbench.

Squatting on the ground, with a little effort, Liam easily pulled up a half-human-tall working arm from under the workbench.

The working arm was interspersed with seemingly complex electrical wires. After trying to fiddle with it a couple of times, Liam went back to the power room to cut off the power, then lowered his head and connected the workbench's wires to the main line of the shelter.

After turning on the workbench power, a tooth-aching buzzing sound came.

The heavy workbench began to self-check, and the working arm below, after being powered on, began to sway, finally fixing itself on the side of the workbench.

Moving a stool to the workbench, Liam focused and called out to the system to check the specific attributes of the workbench.
