Chapter 23 Gather All the Equipment! One Last Thing!

[Because you have the highest military merit, the settlement hub is now open to you! ]

As this system prompt sounded.

The bronze tree in front of him swayed a few times, and a light green light flew out and sank into his body.

[You temporarily have the highest authority of the settlement hub No. 1024. ]

Listening to the system prompt, Lu Cheng's heart moved.

At the same time, the settlement panel also changed.

Previously, only he could see the two new functions.

Now, he can set permissions and choose whether to open it to other people in the settlement.

Lu Cheng nodded slightly.

Now, the settlement hub is only level one, and the highest authority is not very useful. Only these small settings can be made.

When the settlement is upgraded to level three and begins to transform into a city, the role of this authority will be initially reflected.

With the highest authority, you are the default city lord of the settlement!

In addition, some settlements can also open secret passages and enter the treasure land.

However, that is all for the future. Lu Cheng didn't care too much and looked at the exchange function again.

This function is the real key!

As Lu Cheng thought, a light curtain unfolded in front of him, showing two rows of lists.

[Exchange List]

[Border Order: 100 Contribution Points (For land near the settlement, it can be converted into a safe zone and included in the settlement)]

[Wood: 1 Contribution Point (1 kg of wood)]

[Drinking Water: 1 Contribution Point (1 kg of drinking water)]

[Food (meat)...]

[...]

The exchange list is full of building materials, food, drinking water and other types.

On the other side, the recycling list is empty, and Lu Cheng casually takes out a few equipment and puts them on.

[Source Stone Broken Crystal x12: 12 Contribution Points. ]

[Beginner's Cloak: 27 Contribution Points. ]

[...]

Lu Cheng was satisfied after taking a glance at the list.

Only by unlocking the exchange function can the settlement survive the disaster!

Now the exchange function is only at level one, and there are not many things that can be exchanged, but it is enough for the time being.

Otherwise, with more than 10,000 people in the settlement, the daily needs for survival alone are a huge number.

Lu Cheng collected several white clothes and then exchanged them for a border order.

The border order is a square token, the size of a mobile phone, which fell into Lu Cheng's hands.

[Covering Order: Special Item (Settlement No. 1024)]

[Use it on the land outside the settlement to transform it into a safe zone, so that monsters cannot descend. ]

[After transformation, gain experience points from 10 monsters of the same level. ]

[Energy: 100% (up to one square meter of land can be transformed)]

"If the surrounding area is all level one monster area... to activate the protective shield function, 775 border orders are required."

Lu Cheng thought.

The two conditions for opening the protective shield, the one with one thousand energy is easy to meet.

Charging consumes source stone crystal fragments, a one-to-one ratio, and one thousand source stone crystal fragments are enough.

The difficult part is the settlement area!

Although the area is only more than 700 square meters different, the energy of a border order is only enough to transform one square meter of land into a safe zone.

Moreover, this has to be a level one monster refresh area. In areas with higher monster levels, more energy will be consumed.

Of course, the corresponding experience rewards will also be higher.

A level 2 monster has at least 20 experience points, and ten times that is 200 points.

He is now level 8, and this experience is a drop in the bucket for him.

But for other people in the settlement, it is already quite generous!

For ordinary talented professionals, it takes three or four people to work together to hunt a level 2 monster, and each person only gets five or six points.

Lu Cheng nodded slightly and looked at the settlement chat.

At this time, the settlement chat was very lively. The settlement area suddenly expanded, and countless people were discussing and were quite excited.

"Everyone, this wave of monsters is not all. After the settlement is formed, the monsters will continue to flow. In the next month, there may be three more waves, each stronger than the last."

Lu Cheng's mind turned and sent a message.

As soon as he spoke, he was immediately recognized.

"Fuck! Am I seeing right? That's Big Brother Lu Cheng?"

"It's Lu Shen! Lu Shen is speaking!"

"Lu Shen is so handsome! I saw it with my own eyes, a fireball killed a machine monster in one second!"

Suddenly, the chat in the settlement was flooded with messages, and in a blink of an eye, there were hundreds of messages!

But then, seeing the content of Lu Cheng's words, everyone panicked.

"Really...really? Monster tide...still??"

"Three waves, and each wave is stronger than the last? Do you want people to live?"

"I don't want to die, Big Brother Lu Cheng, save me..."

"Big Brother Lu Cheng, Lu Shen, you must have a way, right? You must have a way?? I don't want to die..."

There was a wailing in the chat in the settlement.

Fear appeared on everyone's face. This monster tide brought them too much psychological shadow.

A few seconds later, Lu Cheng's second message came late.

It's not that he deliberately kept it a secret, it's just that the messages in the chat box were refreshed too fast.

"Don't panic, everyone. The settlement now has two more functions. Check them out."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng opened the permissions.

Everyone hurriedly opened the settlement panel and checked it out. They were all delighted.

"After the settlement was upgraded, the shield function was unlocked! It can block monsters below level 15... With the shield, monsters can't get in!"

"Wait, what's going on with the activation conditions not being met? The settlement area is not enough, how can it be increased?"

"I found it! Use the Border Order, the one with 100 contribution points!"

"One Border Order can transform one square meter of land, and you can also get experience points! I saw that now it's only more than 700 square meters away!"

"More than 700 square meters, if everyone works together, it will be enough soon!"

Without Lu Cheng saying anything, everyone volunteered and arranged their own tasks.

Looking at the message in the settlement chat, Lu Cheng smiled.

Next, it was his own business.

There are still six pieces of the ten basic equipment required for the bronze-level task.

"Purchase six rare-level equipment, no limit on level, profession, or attribute, source stone fragments trading."

Lu Cheng's mind moved slightly, and he sent a message.

Within ten seconds of the message being sent, someone came immediately.

"Boss Lu Cheng, I have a rare-level equipment!"

"I have one too! Where are you? I'll send it to you right away!"

"And me! Rare equipment of the mechanical department, do you think this is okay?"

Many people popped up in the top 100 of the battle merit list.

After experiencing a wave of monsters, many of them opened equipment in the treasure chest. Seeing that Lu Cheng needed it, they responded one after another.

"You don't need so many. Bring the ones you can't wear."

Lu Cheng added.

There were too many people looking for him. In just a dozen seconds, there were more than 30 people. He couldn't use so many.

"Boss, is this okay? The dead bone dagger, opened in the treasure chest, requires the undead to wear it, and no one can wear it."

Wei Meng, who was third on the battle merit list, sent a private message.

With the upgrade of the settlement, the private chat function was also unlocked, which was much more convenient.

"Okay."

Lu Cheng nodded and reported the location.

"Boss Lu Cheng!"

Wei Meng quickly rushed over, holding the equipment in his hands, and respected Lu Cheng very much.

After him, several more people came one after another, each with rare equipment.

The last one even provided two pieces.

This person opened a black iron treasure chest, but only two rare equipment that could not be used came out. He felt that he was extremely unlucky and refused to have physical contact with Lu Cheng, fearing that he would pass on his bad luck to him.

"It's okay, go."

Lu Cheng handed over a handful of source stone fragments, patted the man on the shoulder, and sent him away.

"Ten rare equipment, three BOSS crystal cores, enough."

After counting, Lu Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

As long as he found the altar, he would submit this bronze-level task.

"But before that, there is one last thing..."

Thinking of the altar, Lu Cheng's face was solemn.

He wanted to find someone from Li's Technology and ask the location of the ruins.

Before the mechanical explorer died, he also mentioned the altar!

"That, Mr. Lu..."

Just thinking about it, a voice came from the side, which sounded a little familiar.

"Huh?"

Lu Cheng turned his head and looked, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

It was none other than Li Yuanqing!
