Simultaneous Transmigration: Merging with the True Self of All Heavens

Chapter 12 Production and Daily Life, 5-person Team

"Holy crap! Green-skinned mutants?! And they're so close!"

"A four-armed crawler?! That's so exciting!"

"A sneak attack?! That guy is despicable!"

"Mercenaries? Stone City? Is this a new faction, a new map?"

Li Yuan's experiences that day left Lao Bai, Kuang Feng, Ye Shi, and Fang Chang stunned. They all exclaimed, "What a loss! What a loss!" They had missed such a tense and exciting plot.

Smiling and shaking his head, Li Yuan looked at the kilns that were clearly newly built and asked, "What have you all been busy with?"

Just as Lao Bai was about to speak, he saw Shuguang emerge and immediately went over to him, reporting loudly to the leader:

"Dear Manager, in addition to building toilets today, we also built furnaces for burning charcoal and cement!"

"We plan to use the cement we produce to repair the walls of the nursing home!"

After pausing for a moment, Shuguang gave a thumbs up:

"Great! Very energetic!"

"But I'm curious, how did you manage to do that?"

Fang Chang then walked over, his face beaming, and explained:

"We first burn the tree bark into wood ash, then add it to water and stir, filtering out the potassium-alkali water on top."

"After squeezing out the remaining mud, you get calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate, which are used to make cement."

"Next, we added these raw materials to the blast furnace and calcined them until they turned orange-red. Then we mixed them with sand and soil collected from the riverbank, added water, and stirred it well to obtain wood ash cement!"

After hearing this, Shuguang nodded as if he suddenly understood: "Very good, you did a great job."

Fang Chang's smile grew even brighter, as if he could see his favorability towards the manager rising.

Then, he shouted out the lines he had been pondering all night:

"For the continuation of civilization!"

"It is our honor to share your burdens!"

Shuguang nodded solemnly and said encouragingly:

"Well said! For the continuation of civilization, and for the future of all of us!"

"Your plan is excellent, go ahead and do it with confidence!"

"However, for your own sake and for the sake of all of us, please don't overwork yourself and remember to balance work and rest."

Old Bai and Fang Chang exchanged a glance, then snapped back to their feet, heads held high, and shouted in unison:

"Serving you is our mission, and this is our declaration under the SUPP banner!"

Clearly, the two of them had rehearsed their lines beforehand, ready to demonstrate their loyalty at any moment.

After encouraging them again, Dawn approached Gale and Nightfall, asking, "How's your exploration going? Did you find the generator?"

Kuangfeng shook his head: "Didn't find anything, but it wasn't a complete loss either."

As he spoke, he picked up a plastic bag from the ground next to him, which he had apparently retrieved from some trash can. When he opened it, it revealed a bag full of blue mushrooms.

These mushrooms are not large, only about the length of an index finger, and their surfaces are covered with translucent fine hairs. If you look along the lines, you can see a colorful sheen.

Upon seeing these things, Dawn looked surprised: "Where did you find these?"

With a hint of smugness on his face, Kuangfeng reported to the leader:

"Near the parking lot, there is a concrete sewer pipe, about the height of two people."

"A lot of these mushrooms grew inside the pipe. I wasn't sure if they were edible, so I picked some and brought them back."

Shuguang took the plastic bag, and while sealing it tightly, he said:

"Its name is Blue Umbrella Mushroom, scientifically known as 'Blue Angel'. It is said that people who eat it will see a real angel within an hour."

"No doubt about it, unless you're a mutant who's immune to all poisons, you definitely can't eat this stuff."

"These mushrooms usually grow near the nests of mutated leeches, so you should be glad you didn't go any further into the pipes."

Ye Shi, standing to the side, was taken aback: "A mutated leech?"

Shuguang glanced at him and explained:

"Yes, the juvenile mutant leeches are only the size of a palm. Apart from their special mouthparts, they look no different from normal leeches."

"However, once they reach adulthood, these mutated leeches will grow rapidly to more than one meter in length, and the longest can even reach three meters. Even their feeding methods will change."

"I've heard it can even swallow a living person whole... Of course, I've only heard that."

Then, he looked at Kuangfeng: "Do you remember the exact location of that sewer entrance?"

When questioned by the manager, Kuangfeng quickly pulled out a map he had drawn and pointed to a marked location, saying, "It's here."

Shuguang glanced at the location on the map, nodded thoughtfully, and slowly said, "I understand."

After saying that, he walked over to Li Yuan, who was gutting the mutated hyena, and worked with him to quickly remove the inedible parts. Then they started a fire to cook.

After finishing the "feast," Shuguang put away the pots and pans and also gave Xia Yan a portion of food.

When he came out again, he first settled the contribution points for everyone that day, and then picked up the plastic bag containing the blue umbrella mushrooms:

"The outpost needs to be resupplied. I'm going out for a bit. You all stay here and don't go too far."

"At 5 PM sharp, Xiao Qi will open the elevator for you so you can return to the shelter."

"When I'm not around, Xiaoqi will compile your work results, and you can ask her if you don't understand anything."

After saying that, he left the sanatorium alone again.

After the manager had walked away, Fang Chang pondered for a while and then gathered everyone together:

"Don't you guys think there's a deeper meaning behind the contribution points the managers assigned to us today?"

"Li Yuan (Li Yuan) did so much with the managers today, there's no doubt he deserves the highest contribution points."

"Both Lao Bai and I received a relatively normal number of contribution points."

At this point, he looked at Kuangfeng and Yeshi: "Judging from the manager's attitude, the Blue Umbrella Mushrooms you brought back must be quite useful, but the manager only gave you 20 contribution points as a reward, which is equivalent to cutting down two trees... Do you think this is reasonable?"

Ye Shi was taken aback: "Is there a problem?"

Fang Chang glanced at him and said:

"Of course there's a problem. Normally, the benefits players get from a quest should be positively correlated with the difficulty of the quest."

"Today you not only unlocked a new dungeon, but also gathered high-value resources. Logically speaking..."

He went on and on about various aspects, including game logic, which left Ye Shi feeling dizzy and confused, so he quickly interrupted him:

"Just tell me, what should we do?"

Fang Chang glanced around at the people present and slowly said:

"I suggest we team up."

"We form a team, share intelligence, help each other, and give full play to our strengths."
