Chapter 55 – Opening the Supply Crate, Bountiful Rewards

Xiao Wuwang locked the door from the inside after entering the armory.

The police outside wouldn’t be able to break in anytime soon.

Now it was time to reap the rewards.

Over 400 firearms of various types—Colt M1911 pistols, Glock pistols, Ithaca 37 shotguns, M870 shotguns, Uzi submachine guns, MP5 submachine guns, Ruger Mini-14 rifles, AR15 rifles, Remington M40 sniper rifles, and more!

Additionally, there were 50,000 rounds of ammunition, two crates of grenades, and ten crates of smoke grenades, each containing 100 units.

Xiao Wuwang stored everything into his Portable Space.

After thoroughly looting the armory, the door began to shake violently under the assault of the large police force outside, emitting loud banging noises, showing signs of being breached at any moment.

Seeing that the Station Site’s stay time was also up, Xiao Wuwang wasted no more time and summoned the System Panel.

—Teleport!

With a change of scenery, Xiao Wuwang returned to his own train.

“Whew~”

Back in his own territory, Xiao Wuwang relaxed completely.

“Master, welcome back,” Lao Tie’s voice immediately chimed in. “If there are no further instructions, the train will depart.”

“Mm! Depart!”

After replying, Xiao Wuwang began appraising the firearms he had just looted.

The final results were as follows:

Colt M1911 pistols: 12 Excellent-grade, 2 Fine-grade, and 1 Superior-grade;

Glock pistols: 3 Excellent-grade;

Ithaca 37 shotguns: 2 Excellent-grade;

M870 shotguns: 4 Excellent-grade and 1 Fine-grade;

Uzi submachine guns: 1 Excellent-grade;

MP5 submachine guns: 4 Excellent-grade and 2 Fine-grade;

Ruger Mini-14 rifles: 3 Excellent-grade and 1 Fine-grade;

AR15 rifles: 8 Excellent-grade, 2 Fine-grade, and 1 Superior-grade;

Remington M40 sniper rifles: 1 Excellent-grade and 1 Superior-grade.

Looking at so many firearms of Excellent-grade and above Quality, Xiao Wuwang couldn’t help but inwardly groan. How long would it take to upgrade all of them?

But he wasn’t in a hurry. Upgrading firearms would have to wait until he had upgraded the more important things first.

Xiao Wuwang opened the Trading House to take a look.

Sure enough, more and more people were selling firearms in the Trading House, and prices had naturally dropped repeatedly.

Some were even trading Level 0 firearms for Materials.

Xiao Wuwang also listed all the Level 0 firearms and ammunition he had on hand. He no longer expected these firearms to fetch valuable Items like Infinite Coins or Train Upgrade Shards. Instead, he set them to be traded for basic Materials such as Wood, Iron, Copper, glass, plastic, Mechanical Parts, and Electronic Components.

The future consumption of basic Materials would be enormous, so stockpiling more wouldn’t hurt.

After setting up these Level 0 firearms and ammunition, Xiao Wuwang also took the opportunity to appraise the 24 QBU-191 Precision Rifles (Modified) that had been produced as scheduled yesterday. Among them, 7 were Excellent-grade and 3 were Fine-grade.

Without hesitation, Xiao Wuwang took advantage of the fact that no one was selling Level 1 firearms yet and listed 14 Common-grade QBU-191 Precision Rifles (Modified) directly on the Trading House, setting the price at 5 Train Upgrade Shards per rifle.

Currently, 1 Train Upgrade Shard was worth about 5 Infinite Coins, and its value had increased significantly.

All things considered, selling a QBU-191 Precision Rifle (Modified) for 25 Infinite Coins isn’t expensive.

It’s easy to imagine that as players grow stronger, the value of low-tier firearms will keep dropping, while Train Upgrade Shards, which are always in demand, will become increasingly valuable.

However, in just a few more days, they won’t be worth such a high price anymore.

So, whenever possible, it’s better to trade for Train Upgrade Shards.

Right now, Xiao Wuwang has 21 Train Upgrade Shards, still 79 short of what’s needed for an upgrade—quite a significant gap.

Still, he isn’t worried, because he still has four Level 3 Player Supply Crates. Once his Fatigue Points recover and he upgrades them to Level 4, he estimates that even the more valuable items and equipment likely won’t escape being stripped away, naturally including Train Upgrade Shards.

After finishing his meal, the rest of the time was spent waiting for his Fatigue Points to recover.

Throughout the entire afternoon, Xiao Wuwang only picked up a few treasure chests and didn’t come across any mineral deposits, so he focused solely on waiting for his Fatigue Points to replenish before upgrading the supply crates.

Finally, by 5 p.m., he had successfully upgraded all four supply crates to Level 4.

Now, it was time for the exciting part—opening the crates.

Because he had leveled up relatively quickly, the players matched in the Confrontation Platform were from earlier zones than his own, meaning they had undoubtedly accumulated more in the Survival World than other players in his zone.

Xiao Wuwang was naturally very eager to see what treasures these players’ supply crates might yield.

Even after being upgraded, the contents of a Player Supply Crate don’t improve, but the stripped resources become more abundant and valuable.

Opening the first supply crate, Xiao Wuwang obtained: 42 Infinite Coins, Train Upgrade Shards ×14, Intermediate Acceleration Card ×1, Basic Portable Space Expansion Card ×1, Basic Quality Enhancement Card, Copper ×120, Rare Metal ×85, Glass ×180, Wood ×2000.

Nothing particularly valuable, but the sheer quantity of items in the crate was impressive!

Next, he opened the remaining three supply crates, obtaining a total of: 185 Infinite Coins, Train Upgrade Shards ×35, Basic Portable Space Expansion Card ×2, Instance Team-Up Card ×1, Instance Summon Card ×1, Miniature Nuclear Fusion Reactor ×1, Intelligent Chip ×1, Basic Acceleration Card ×2, Level 2 Configuration Station ×1, Wood ×8000, Iron ×600, Copper ×200, Rare Metal ×150, Glass ×300, Plastic ×500, Mechanical Parts ×200, Electronic Components ×100, Gold ×50, Silver ×200.

The richness of the haul truly astonished Xiao Wuwang.

The last three supply crates not only provided him with a massive amount of resources but also included three items that delighted him: the Miniature Nuclear Fusion Reactor, the Intelligent Chip, and the Configuration Station.

Especially the Configuration Station—this was an important item whose value was no less than that of a Crafting Station.

He had been worrying earlier about when he might obtain a Configuration Station, and now, unexpectedly, he had acquired one directly from opening these crates—and it was even Level 2!

Checking its Quality, it was actually Fine-grade!

As long as Xiao Wuwang had enough Fatigue Points, he could even upgrade it to Level 4!

From now on, whenever he had the materials, he could configure Level 3 Evolution Potions at any time!

As for the intelligent chip, there’s no need to mention it—he already has a T-800 wreck in his possession. Installing the intelligent chip would make it operational. Although its durability is nearly depleted, it can be upgraded!

Once upgraded to level 4, its durability will be fully restored.

By then, he will have a brand-new level 4 intelligent robot that completely obeys his commands!

Lastly, the micro nuclear fusion reactor is a level 3 energy device.

Although it’s only of common quality, he can use a quality enhancement card to improve its quality, then upgrade it further with his talent. This way, he can still obtain a higher-level energy device.

Moreover, he can also use the artisan workbench to derive a blueprint, then produce an energy device of excellent quality or higher using the blueprint. He can similarly upgrade it with his talent to obtain a higher-level energy device.

As long as he has the crucial level 4 energy device and the intelligent chip, he will be able to mass-produce level 4 robots.

Looking at this delightful harvest, Xiao Wuwang finally understood why those with strength prefer the confrontation platform.

Of course, this was after he had upgraded the supply crate. Otherwise, with just a level 3 supply crate, he would have been lucky to get even a quarter of the current harvest.

But even a quarter of this harvest would be a substantial resource for ordinary people!
