Wasteland for All: I Can Infinitely Upgrade My Vault

[Biological wastewater purification and treatment pond] This thing is pretty advanced! I wonder what lucky person would put this thing up for trade. Is there a big river next to them?

However, after looking at the building requirements in detail, Zhong Li felt that it was possible that the building conditions were simply too daunting.

The crude steel, primary alloys, and runes at the beginning were manageable, but the 200 original crystal ores and 100 radiant mushrooms at the end were completely unheard of to Zhongli.

Therefore, Zhongli could only put away the architectural blueprints and close all the transaction requests, intending to check the transaction list himself to see what valuable items others were selling.

He's now considered to have some assets, as evidenced by the series of system notifications that just started:

[Ding! Item [Basic Compressed Biscuits Type C] has been sold, earning 300 Runes. (Only two things in the world are inevitable: taxes and death. 100 Runes have been automatically deducted as tax.)]

[Ding! The item [Basic Compressed Biscuits Type C] has been sold, and you have received 300 Runes.]

……

There were still plenty of wealthy people in the various shelters, and the remaining 5 packs of compressed biscuits were quickly sold out.

After deducting the taxes and fees from the sale of the Bloodthirsty Battle Axe and the Damaged Brass Armor, Zhongli now has a total of 1698 Runes.

With such a fortune in hand, Zhongli naturally wanted to spend some of it to enhance the overall strength of the shelter.

The list of items for sale was extremely rich, and apart from Zhongli who used daily necessities to amass wealth, most of the items were worth more than 100 runes.

Zhong Li patiently flipped through the transaction list and selected the items that interested him.

[Shelter Building Blueprint: A civilization without people is meaningless. Only sufficient rooms will attract refugees to settle here. A basic shelter can accommodate 8 people; when rooms are vacant, it slightly increases the probability of refugees joining the shelter. Requires 50 Runes, 100 Crude Steel, and 200 Cement. Construction time: 6 hours/n shelter slaves] [Price: 200 Runes]

[Bloody Pineal Gland: In the desolate wasteland, all creatures have evolved extraordinary survival and combat abilities in their struggle for survival. All of this is deeply imprinted in the pineal glands of powerful beings; their life imprints and combat experience have made their essence a treasure fought over by wasteland survivors. Activation: Combat Power +1.] [Price: Runes x800]

With 600 runes left, Zhongli looked around for a while and found that either the items were not interesting to him or he could not afford them.

For example, Zhong Li even saw a [Super Alloy Particle] that could enhance various weapon attributes. There was also an [Assault Turret], which could be used to set up a defensive turret in a pre-set battlefield or shelter.

Both items can significantly enhance combat power, but unfortunately, one costs 800 runes and the other costs 1500 runes! This is far beyond Zhongli's ability to afford.

Especially that [Assault Turret], if used properly, it feels like its combat power is 20-30% of that of an elite soldier. If it were just 500 runes cheaper, Zhongli would have chosen to buy that turret instead of the [Bloody Pineal Gland].

The saintess's health was already failing, and Zhongli really didn't have much time to waste picking up any leftovers here.

So Zhongli quickly flipped through a few pages and found something she had noticed at the beginning—the [Universal Capsule Blind Box]! Price: 105 Runes/box.

Zhong Li admitted that there was an element of gambling involved.

But when you've already given it your all, sometimes a bit of luck can be the key to determining your fate.

So Zhongli gritted her teeth and bought all the remaining runes in blind boxes.

[The All-Purpose Capsule Blind Box: E=mc². By changing the atomic arrangement of an item, you can compress its space, turning a huge item into the size of a capsule. From a lollipop to a star-level battleship, whatever you can imagine, you can get!]

For a star-level battleship, we'll fight to the death!

[Ding! You have successfully opened a Saint Vincent Mall All-Purpose Capsule Blind Box.]

[Ding! You have obtained a lollipop (strawberry flavor) x1]

[Ding! You have successfully opened a Saint Vincent Mall All-Purpose Capsule Blind Box.]

[Ding! You have obtained 1500ml of purified water]

[Ding! You have successfully opened a Saint Vincent Mall All-Purpose Capsule Blind Box.]

[Ding! You have received a seamless, breathable, thin bra (makes large breasts appear smaller) x1]

[Ding! You have successfully opened a Saint Vincent Mall All-Purpose Capsule Blind Box.]

[Ding! You have obtained 1 Langsha premium nude stocking (ultra-thin)]

Upon seeing this, Zhong Li's eyes widened in disbelief. If they continued driving like this, what would happen...?

[Ding! You have successfully opened a Saint Vincent Mall All-Purpose Capsule Blind Box.]

[Ding! You have obtained 1 pair of women's black ice silk panties (thin version)]

It actually turned out to be correct!

Zhong Li couldn't help but look at Ye Wei. It seemed... the Holy Maiden only had this one outfit, right? She could wear the palace dress for another day, but she would need to change her underwear, wouldn't she?

That means the Holy Maiden will be tomorrow... Thinking of this, Zhong Li's heart raced and his nose felt hot.

Even the saintess, who was always noble and beautiful, had a blush on her tall, fair neck.

Zhong Li immediately put the three sealed packages of underwear aside, then seriously changed the subject and handed the last [Universal Capsule Blind Box] to Ye Wei.

"Looks like my luck is just so-so. You take the draw. Let's see if we can get any high-value items."

Zhongli really couldn't continue driving; she couldn't even imagine what kind of disharmonious things might happen if she continued.

Ye Wei blushed slightly, took the blind box from Zhong Li's hand, and slowly tore it open on her snow-white legs.

As golden light shone out like a pillar, Zhong Li received a system notification.

[Ding! Obtained the Refined Weapon Rune - Holy Prayer: Holiness is power, holiness is divinity, the pillar of our faith! Combat Power +3, Weapon Accuracy +5, Holy Damage +3, Attack Count +1. After blocking/dodgeing an opponent's attack, immediately launch a counterattack, and this counterattack weapon will be blessed with holy light, converting all damage into holy damage.]

incredible!

Zhongli directly handed the weapon rune to Huowu.

She is the strongest combat unit in the territory. Once she blocks or dodges an opponent's attack, the Broken Rainbow in her hand will instantly burst into a dazzling light and launch a counterattack!

Her base combat power is 12, and with the addition of various traits and blessings, the damage dealt by wielding the Rainbow Breaker reaches 23.

This sword strike was entirely converted into holy damage; with a single strike, even a level 10 elite minotaur would be instantly severed.

Huo Wu looked at Zhong Li in surprise and asked, "For me?"

Zhong Li nodded: "Of course it's for you. Aren't you a member of our shelter?"

Huo Wu glanced at Hong Luan. "She's your right-hand woman, isn't she? Why don't you give her to her?"

Zhong Li used the [Bloody Pineal Gland] on himself and calmly said to Huo Wu, "Don't overthink it. There are only three of us, why should we distinguish between close and distant relatives? Things should definitely be given to the most suitable person."

[Ding! Your act of generosity has been rewarded with an incentive effect. The loyalty of your lord, Huowu, has increased by 1 (currently 26)]

"Oh." Huo Wu took the rune and embedded it directly into her fiery red longsword, Broken Rainbow.

But before Huo Wu could react, gunfire suddenly erupted outside the shelter!

A fierce gunfight erupted between the two sides, bullets whizzing past the tents. Zhong Li hadn't even had time to rest when someone launched a stealthy attack!
