Chapter 202.2: Battle Settlement, Permissions for Shelter 117
Moving was no small matter. They also needed some time to think about the things Luca told them.
Chu Guang understood their feelings at the moment. It felt like choosing the best of two very bad options.
Many people were destined to be unable to sleep tonight...
Taking the fuel rods from the ecological park, Chu Guang went to the power room of Shelter 117.
After unlocking the door through the VM of the previous administrator, Chu Guang inserted the fuel rod the size of a thick forearm into the circular port according to the instruction manual.
After leaving the power room, Chu Guang pressed the ignition switch.
There was no earth-shattering reaction as imagined, and as the temperature and plasma density reached a threshold, the reactor started running smoothly.
Everything happened as naturally as breathing.[Remaining energy: 36%]
[Estimated Lifetime: 115 years]
"How can 36% of the energy be used for so long?" Looking at the text displayed on the console, Chu Guang’s expression was slightly surprised.
Of course, it was also possible that the reason why it could be used for so long was that the current energy consumption of Shelter 117 was very low.
If there were a few more people living there, it might be another story.
Shelter 117 had 50 soilless cultivation units. Its theoretical planting area was the same as Shelter 404. So the planting facilities there could be put to use.
In addition, Shelter 117 could also be used as a save point for players to conquer the underground world.
Chu Guang intended to deploy 10 clone nurturing cabins there first, and then decided whether to increase the number according to the situations in the future.
After players cleared through the subway tunnel from level B3 of Shelter 404 to the place, the new nurturing cabins obtained after unlocking the new floor or the clone nurturing cabins produced by the black box could also be dragged here.
"... If I use this place as a novice village for Combat Profession players, it seems to be a good choice. The subway tunnel is just right outside the gate. Players can get into a battle immediately as soon as they step outside."
"But I have to prepare some novice-specific weapons for them, as well as a few guards and old players to serve as novice guides!
The difficulty of the subway was still higher than that of the surface, and it could still be very dangerous for newbies even if they were in teams.
Especially when encountering a Creeper… It was very likely that the entire newbie group would be destroyed.
Even for old players, without the protection of equipment and the cooperation of teammates, it was not an easy task to take out a Creeper.
The reactor continued to operate for a while.
Soon, the light blue pop-up window showing the completion of the mission appeared in Chu Guang’s field of vision.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
[Mission Complete]
[You have now obtained the administrative authority of Shelter 117]
"So I’m now the administrator of Shelter 117 as well?" Chu Guang looked at his right hand, looked around, and didn’t seem to notice any changes.
It wasn’t until he yelled, “Turn off the lights,” that the whole corridor fell into darkness, and when he finally told the lights to switch on, it did. He gained a more intuitive understanding of the administrative authority of the new shelter.
Like in Shelter 404, he who could control all facilities here was like an omnipotent God!
"But then again, it is incredible that the system of Shelter 404 can actually issue a mission to take over Shelter 117."
Speaking of which, since this administrator’s authority, was so powerful, how did the previous administrator of Shelter 117 get overthrown by a few shelter residents?
Chu Guang felt that if it were him, such a situation definitely wouldn’t happen.
He would not be soft-hearted.
As long as there was a sign of rebellion, even if it was just a tiny spark, he would definitely stub it out before it could evolve into a tiny flame, much less an inferno that would swallow him whole.
Toads with three legs are hard to find, but there are many people with two legs.
Rebelling? Want to run away with resources? If you can get out of this shelter, I will admit defeat!
I doubt you will be able to step out of the shelter before I take out your oxygen supply.
Alas, it’s such a pity. If I could take over this shelter 200 years ago, I would definitely be able to manage it well.
Of course, Chu Guang was just fantasizing about it in his heart. He didn’t mean to look down on the previous administrator. He knew very well that humans were complicated animals, and the situation at the time might not be as simple as he thought; it might even be more complicated than what he had heard from Hyrja.
He once heard Luo Hua say that there was no identical shelter in the world, so it was understandable that there were differences in the permissions between administrators.
What really happened twenty years ago, only the dead knew best. In terms of what people said after they died, no one would be able to disprove it.
After playing with the air conditioner switch for a while, Chu Guang thought for a moment and called out, "Little Seven."
An energetic voice soon came from the speakers on the side of the corridor, "Yes, Master."
Chu Guang continued, "If I share the permissions with you, can you take over the control of the shelter?"
Hearing that its master planned to hand over the new shelter to it, Little Seven responded cheerfully like a child, "Hmmm! Of course, Master, please leave it to Little Seven! Hehe, Little Seven will take care of your new house!"
Mhm, I like this response.
Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction, "Mhm, I will leave it to you"
It is so great to have a secretary. I can just leave the troublesome things to it.
Chu Guang released an errand mission through VM, and asked the players on level B3 to go to the planting area to fetch the cotton seeds he placed there.
Eating wasn’t the only important thing he had to take care of. Clothing was also important.
Now that there were 800 people in the server, Chu Guang’s players actually only had a few blue coats and animal skin coats in their wardrobes, and a few could afford silk and beautiful clothes. Even if it was some old players, they also dressed like savages when they went out hunting.
It can’t go on like this.
A civilized person must at least look like a civilized person. Otherwise, they might be regarded as marauders when they head out…
The mission was edited and then posted on the public screen soon after. But it took less than a second for someone to accept it.
[Mission has been accepted]
[Accepted By: Makka Pakka]
When Chu Guang saw the ID, he was slightly stunned.
My goodness. Is he staring at the VM 24/7 to wait for a mission?
It is just an errand mission with a reward of 5 silver coins and 10 contribution points…
There is no need to be this hard-working, right?
...
It was around 2:00 to 3:00 in the morning when Chu Guang came back from Shelter 117.
He returned to his room, yawning. Without saying a word, he went to sleep all the way until 8:00 the next morning.
At night, he had a weird dream. The ultra rare NPC with silver hair his dream chased after him with a large syringe for drawing blood and constantly screamed, “Give me a little!”
Chu Guang originally didn’t even plan to run away, but somehow the person that chased after him suddenly became a mutant human, which woke him up.
He would’ve slept a little longer otherwise.
Chu Guang opened his heavy eyelids.
Before he got up from the bed, he could already feel the dampness permeating his surroundings, and the pain and relief accumulated under his skin.
Without even thinking about it, he knew that he leveled up again.
[ID:
Chu Guang][Genetic sequence: Administrator (Second Stage)]
[Level: LV12→LV14]
[Attributes]
[Strength: ]
[Agility: ]
[Constitution: 14→15]
[Perception: ]
[Intelligence: 13→14]
"It actually went up two levels in a row..."
In the administrator’s office.
Chu Guang, who used the medical equipment to examine himself, looked at the examination form on the computer screen with surprise written all over his face.
With 15 points of constitution, in terms of recovery ability, he was almost comparable to half a mutant human.
Aside from agility and slightly weaker perception, he was now a balanced warrior of all stats!
The only weakness was that he couldn’t be resurrected. So no matter how strong he was, he still had to be cautious all the time.
"The reward points seem to be enough for drawing loot boxes again."
After confirming the properties panel, Chu Guang opened the Administrator Menu and switched over to his loot box page.
Seeing that the reward points had accumulated to 132, Chu Guang used them all up on one advanced loot box, three intermediate loot boxes, and two basic loot boxes without any hesitation.
"System…"
"... For the sake of my hard work…"
"... It’s not too much to give me an exoframe, right?"
