Chapter 11: Multi-purpose Combat Spear, Exchange Potions

The appearance of a new set of equipment, having the design blueprint, is just the first step.

Turning the blueprint into reality is much more difficult than simply creating it.

The improved weaponry [Multi-purpose Combat Spear] designed by Su Yu, although it greatly expanded the hunting range of Yang Lie's Team's combatants, was not easy to design.

Even with the blueprint, Su Yu wasn't entirely confident that he could finish the product before Yang Lie's Team's next mission.

He was already prepared that if necessary, he would first make a few extra chain saw blades for Yang Lie's Team as spares.

And when they returned, he would replace their equipment.

But now?

Su Yu's confidence was once again skyrocketing!

"The base success rate for Basic Mechanical Creation is thirty percent."

"And if a blueprint can be produced, the manufacturing success rate can increase by over double!"

Even if his blueprint wasn't perfect, as long as he could create a blueprint recognized by the system, a sixty percent manufacturing success rate was assured.

For the Refugee Mechanics, having a sixty percent success rate in improving a piece of weaponry was already quite reassuring, alright?

However, excitement aside.

Su Yu didn't rush to start work immediately, instead first closing the repair shop and heading to the resident management office of the refuge.

After this period of repair work.

He had accumulated enough Contribution Value at the management office to claim another bottle of Antiradiation Potion.

After leveling up to Lv6, Su Yu's physical condition had recovered to seventy percent.

He no longer needed Antiradiation Potion.

Nonetheless, Su Yu still intended to exchange for another bottle.

Not for any other reason, mainly to avoid attracting attention.

Without more Antiradiation Potion usage, Su Yu would have a hard time explaining to others the quick recovery of his arm.

Putting on a long-sleeved jacket, Su Yu arrived at the refuge management office, submitted his resident ID card at the exchange counter, and waited for a moment.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Su Yu, all Antiradiation Potions for this month have already been exchanged. Please come back another day!"

Behind the counter, a middle-aged man with typical Western features from Su Yu's past life on Blue Planet, obese and wearing glasses, glanced up, his bulbous red nose twitching, while his small eyes behind the glasses gleamed with amusement. He apologized to Su Yu with a grin that didn't reach his eyes.

"Exchanged? How is that possible?"

Instinctively, Su Yu frowned tightly.

Antiradiation Potions are precious, but Shelter No. 73 has a complete production line, even having excess to sell, making it one of the important trade goods.

Furthermore, the Contribution Value required to exchange Antiradiation Potions is extremely high for residents.

The usual scenario is that by the end of the month, none of the twenty exchange allocations are used up.

How could it be that there's no allocation left when it's his turn?

"Could I take a look at the exchange list?"

Su Yu asked in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, I believe this exchange list concerns the privacy of other residents, please don't make things difficult for Supervisor Eisen, right? Supervisor Eisen?"

As soon as Su Yu spoke.

A voice Su Yu was already somewhat familiar with spoke from the side.

Li Yao stood there with a sardonic look in his eyes, the corners of his mouth bearing a cold smile.

Behind the counter, Supervisor Eisen spoke with righteous indignation, "Mr. Li Yao is correct, Mr. Su Yu, please don't make things difficult for me."

Watching the two of them sing the same tune.

A glint of coldness flashed in Su Yu's eyes.

Although he anticipated that previous conflicts would bring new trouble, Li Yao's actions still made Su Yu feel threatened.

Although he indeed did not need Antiradiation Potions right now, even if he stopped for a month, it was no big deal; he could just wear more layers when exchanging again.

But, if he didn't have the Profession Panel.

Li Yao's actions would be forcing him to risk his life.

Silently killing with a soft knife, is even more sinister and ruthless!

"The wasteland truly lives up to its name, where measures often bring one to his end."

Su Yu whispered softly.

But he did not waste more words with Li Yao and the others, and directly prepared to turn and leave.

However, at that moment, two familiar voices came from behind Su Yu.

"Wait, Su buddy."

Li Mao, one of the core combatants of the ninth team led by Yang Lie, occupying the reconnaissance position, called out to Su Yu with a smile.

Beside him, Zhang Wu stepped forward, nudging aside Li Yao who blocked the counter, his hawk-like sharp eyes fixed on the obese Supervisor Eisen behind the counter.

This Supervisor Eisen, although holding the title of supervisor, was just an ordinary person, sitting in this position purely due to favors left by his father. Now, facing the piercing gaze of Zhang Wu, the ninth team's sniper, sweat began to form on his broad forehead, barely maintaining his composure as he asked, "Do you have a matter with me?"

"Nothing much, but I recall there's a regulation at the management office. For important refuge residents with sufficient Contribution Value but unable to exchange due to allocation shortages, they are entitled to request to view the exchange list to prevent malpractice."

"Has Supervisor Eisen forgotten about this, or does he not regard Mr. Su Yu, the Refugee Mechanic, as meeting the 'important refuge resident' criteria?"

Zhang Wu spoke softly.

His spare right hand casually, seemingly unintentionally, moved towards the phone next to the exchange counter that could directly connect to the management committee's office.

Seeing Zhang Wu's seemingly nonchalant hand gently tapping rhythmically on the counter.

Sweat was finally pouring down Eisen's forehead.

He took a heavy breath, casting a helpless look at Li Yao, whose face was now ashen, and then forced a fawning smile at Zhang Wu, sycophantically saying.

"Why get so worked up, Mr. Zhang Wu? Let me double-check the exchange list, perhaps I made a mistake."

With this, Eisen quickly retrieved the exchange list, and after a quick glance, exclaimed in an exaggerated tone, "Ah yes, I did make a mistake! Mr. Su Yu, we actually still have one Antiradiation Potion allocated, would you like to exchange now?"

Upon hearing Eisen's words.

Su Yu didn't rush to respond, but first looked at Zhang Wu in front of him, who gave him a smile, then turned back to Eisen, leisurely saying, "Only one bottle?"

"Alright, there are fifteen bottles, truly! Only fifteen bottles left!"

Eisen said, hurriedly laying the exchange list on the counter with urgency.

"Alright, Su buddy, as Supervisor Eisen has said, how many would you like to exchange?"

Hearing Zhang Wu's prompt.

Su Yu couldn't help but smile, after a moment's thought, he decisively said.

"Then I'll exchange three bottles for now..."

"Mr. Zhang."

Before Su Yu could finish speaking, Li Yao, who had remained silent since Zhang Wu and Li Mao's arrival, suddenly spoke up.

He didn't look at Su Yu, but instead fixed his gaze on Zhang Wu, saying with deliberate clarity, "You must know, some things are beyond your authority, and the fool named Yang Lie behind you doesn't qualify either!"
