Ice Age Apocalypse: I've Stockpiled Billions of Resources

Lin Luo thought of something: "With the various dungeons being mobilized so frequently to search for things on the various islands, there must be a lot of pressure on the dungeon's resources?"

Ye Yue nodded and said, "Even without these islands, the people in each underground city will still search for various resources. The resources required to operate and maintain the underground cities in the sea are terrifying. Our Ye family's energy reserves can sustain the underground cities for a year. If we cannot find oil within this year, the underground cities will not even be able to maintain their oxygen levels."

"It seems like he's under a lot of pressure."

Lin Luo has a lot of oil, probably around 100,000 tons.

All the oil surged onto the island due to the sudden change in the island's environment.

Lin Luo possesses a unique spatial ability, which allows him to remove all the oil at once.

If someone else found this oil dump, it would take them at least half a year to extract it.

The Pangu is a high-end vessel that can directly use crude oil, but it is prone to carbon buildup, which shortens the lifespan of large ships.

Lin Luo tries to avoid using oil prematurely, unless the Pangu is truly out of oil.

Hazuki quickly apologized, "Look at me, I invited you over, and I'm telling you these things, I'm just trying to bother you."

Lin Luo said, "It's alright, I have a question for you."

"what is the problem."

"If I had 100,000 tons of crude oil, how long could you use it?"

"It can be used for three years. Currently, the underground city is maintained with 30,000 tons of oil."

Hazuki thought for a moment and said.

"In just three years, the energy consumed by the underground city is far more terrifying than I imagined."

Lin Luodao.

"This is just our Ye family's underground city. The national underground city is ten times the size of ours, with a population of nearly one million, and its consumption is much greater. However, the national underground city has much richer resources."

"The Liu family must have suffered considerable losses as well."

"That's right. The Liu family is half the size of our Ye family, and their population is about 30,000 to 40,000 more than ours. They need more resources. The Liu family's behavior is disgusting. Other dungeons go to explore islands or dig in the sea. They like to steal other people's things. Several dungeons have had their resources robbed by the Liu family, leaving only empty shells."

Are the two Liu brothers still alive?

Lin Luo asked.

“They’re still here. Those two brothers are incredibly arrogant. They keep yelling at our Ye family to let them out. I just want to kill them whenever I think about it.”

Hazuki said angrily.

Old Ye jogged over and said a few words to Ye Yue.

Hazuki said somewhat embarrassedly, "I lost track of time while we were chatting. Let's go now."

"Ok."

Led by Hazuki, Lin Luo arrived at the hospital.

The hospital wasn't very big; it was covered in white paint and white tiles, similar in size to a town hospital.

Lin Luo entered a large ward. Lying on the bed was an elderly man with white hair who looked somewhat similar to Ye Yue and had a serious expression.

"Dad, this person is Lin Luo."

Hazuki explained.

Ye Zhengxiong nodded and said, "I saw it. Go outside for a moment, I need to talk to him about something."

"Can't I be there?"

Ye Yue glanced at Lin Luo, worried that the two might start arguing.

Ye Zhengxiong laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to him. I'm not an unreasonable person."

"Ok."

Hazuki left the ward, but didn't go far.

"Hello."

Ye Zhengxiong greeted him in a friendly manner.

"Hello."

Lin Luo replied politely.

Ye Zhengxiong said, "I'm a straightforward person and don't like beating around the bush. I only have one daughter, and I know her very well. Lately, she keeps mentioning you, and I know she's fallen for you. What do you think?"

Lin Luo said, "Ye Yue is the young lady of the underground city. I am just an ordinary person. I'm afraid I am not good enough for her."

"Before the cataclysm, you were not good enough for Hazuki, but after the cataclysm, Hazuki is not good enough for you."

"what?"

Lin Luo couldn't understand Ye Zhengxiong's words for a moment.

Ye Zhengxiong laughed and said, "Do you think I'm like those wealthy families, looking down on you here and there, and then giving you millions to leave my daughter?"

Lin Luo said, "It seems I was shortsighted."

Ye Zhengxiong said, "It's not that you're short-sighted, but that I'm more up-to-date and know the current situation. In the past, people were judged by their money, but now money is worthless. Whether a person is capable or not still depends on their ability."

"Okay, you didn't call me over just to ask me if I like daughters or not, did you?"

"If you like my daughter, some things will be easier. The two of you can manage the Ye family's underground city together."

"You're going to give me the Ye family's underground city?"

Lin Luo didn't expect Ye Zhengxiong to be so direct.

Ye Zhengxiong said, "You know my body. I was pulled back from the brink of death, but there are some areas where my physical strength is clearly not up to par. I'm planning to retire. I know about you and Ye Yue. I understand Ye Yue's abilities. She can't handle the Ye family's underground city alone. She needs a helper."

"It doesn't necessarily have to be becoming a couple; there are other ways."

Lin Luodao.

"It seems you don't like Hazuki anymore."

"No, that's not it. I already have someone by my side."

"You're talking about the other seven girls. As long as you give them up, I don't mind."

"This won't do. I'd rather give up on entering the Ye family's underground city."

Lin Luodao.

Ye Zhengxiong said, "I hope you will think it over carefully. Drifting at sea is nothing compared to the freedom of living in the underground city. The reason I called you over later was so that you could take a good look at the underground city."

"Don't think about it."

Lin Luo shook his head.

"No need to answer right away, I can give you half an hour to think about it."

"no need."

Ye Zhengxiong said with satisfaction, "You are very good. I have decided to hand over this Ye Family Underground City to you. You will help me manage it."

Lin Luo said, "Were you testing me just now?"

Ye Zhengxiong shook his head and said:

"Not entirely. I'm just checking your character. If you give up other women to be with my daughter, it means you're not a good person, and I won't let you take over the Ye family's underground city."

"Your outstanding performance on both islands has shown me your potential. There are many excellent people in the dungeon, but none can compare to you."

"In addition, the islands are rich in resources, and your experience allows you to avoid many of the islands' dangers, which is a very good ability."

Lin Luo asked, "Then how can I invest in the underground city?"

Ye Zhengxiong said, "Use your technology as equity and assist Ye Yue in managing the underground city. I won't interfere in your relationship. If you want to accept my daughter, then treat her well. If you don't, that's fine too."

"OK."

After visiting the Ye family's underground city, Lin Luo felt that he still needed a support system.

For example, Pangu cannot meet the needs of drug clinical trials, activity venues, and so on.

Ye Zhengxiong said, "Ye Yue, come in. I have something to tell you."
