Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!
Chapter 41 The Price
Lin Wei looked at him for a few seconds, then asked with a hint of curiosity:
"Is this all you're capable of?"
When Su Ye activated his ability, the obvious and strange power fluctuations did not escape her perception.
Although you may not be able to see the details clearly, the result is obvious.
Su Ye picked up a small, dry twig from the firewood beside the fire, broke it off, and threw it into the center of the flames before speaking:
"right,
It can be modified and strengthened, but my current abilities are relatively low, and the energy consumption is high.
He paused.
"The only way is to integrate and replace existing things in this way."
There's no way to directly 'upgrade' things.
After listening, Lin Wei nodded and didn't ask for any more details.
In this era, everyone has their own secrets and trump cards, and it is unwise to ask too many questions.
As dawn broke, the night gradually dissipated.
The camp slowly began to regain its vitality and sounds.
Old Liu was among the first to get up, leading Zhao De and two other quick-witted men.
They skillfully set up a simple stove, boiled water, and cooked a large pot of thick porridge mixed with dried vegetables and a small amount of dried meat.
The aroma of food gradually filled the air, dispelling the chill of the night and awakening more survivors.
Chen Shou and Old Zhao got out of their respective cars at almost the same time. Both of them looked a little tired, but their eyes were still sharp.
They noticed Su Ye's obviously "fatter" extended van almost immediately, and the empty shell of the SUV next to it, which was now just a wreck.
"what?"
Old Zhao rubbed his eyes, making sure he wasn't seeing things, and nudged Chen Shou next to him with his elbow.
"Captain Chen, look at that car belonging to that kid Ye!"
Why did it get longer overnight?
What happened to that car next to you?
He pointed to the empty skeleton of the off-road vehicle, which was now just a wreck.
Chen Shou naturally noticed it as well.
He observed more closely than Old Zhao, not only noticing the obviously elongated body of the van, but also Su Ye standing beside it and the two sisters inside. A knowing glint flashed in his eyes.
"Let's go take a look!!"
Chen Shou slowly walked around Su Ye's bread cart, tapping lightly on the extended part of the cart with his fingers, producing a dull, solid sound.
Old Zhao squatted beside the wreckage of the off-road vehicle, marveling at the strange remains and the empty engine compartment.
"Hey kid, your car..."
"You've gained weight overnight!"
Old Zhao stood up, dusted off his hands, and spoke with a tone full of curiosity.
Su Ye was watching Li Xiaowei and her sister secure the last of the supplies when he heard this and turned around.
Chen Shou also stopped and looked at him. Although he didn't ask any questions, the probing look in his eyes was obvious.
"Yeah, I tried it."
Su Ye walked up to the two of them.
"We used materials and the engine from that car, making some replacements and integrations."
He pointed to his car, then to the pile of wreckage:
"For example, if we feel there isn't enough space, we can 'borrow' some materials from other vehicles to extend the length."
If the power is insufficient, simply replace the entire powertrain from another car.
The process requires the use of my strange power, and this is the best I can do for now. It can't directly make things stronger; it just replaces them with a better, readily available part.
After listening to Su Ye's description, Chen Shou's gaze swept back and forth between the modified new car and the scrapped off-road vehicle, and he pondered:
"Integration and replacement..."
Use the cost of one vehicle to strengthen another.
This skill is very useful nowadays.
"It's more than just practical!"
Old Zhao's eyes lit up as he thought of his pickup truck.
"Hey kid, take a look at my car, could you fix it up for me too?"
For example, how about making it more fuel-efficient, or putting a canopy on the truck bed?
Su Ye glanced at Old Zhao's pickup truck, then looked at Old Zhao:
"You can try, but there will be a price to pay."
"cost?
What's the price?
food?
gasoline?
you say!"
Old Zhao is very straightforward.
"Not these."
Su Ye looked at Chen Shou; currently, he was the only one the convoy could provide.
"When I activate my ability, it consumes my own strange power, which grows extremely slowly."
Therefore, if you want me to help with similar integration and replacement modifications to the vehicle, you will need to pay the corresponding fee.
What are the corresponding fees?
What payment method should I use?
Upon hearing this explanation, Chen Shou went straight to the heart of the matter.
Su Ye held up one finger:
"At least, a material produced from a Tier 1 Mystic, or something of equal value containing similar energy."
He pointed to the modified vehicle and the wreckage.
"In this modification, I not only made use of that off-road vehicle, but also consumed a lot of strange power."
If converted into materials, I would need at least one piece of material from a Tier 1 Mystic, or other equivalent items containing Mystic power, to make up for my consumption.
If the renovation is more complex or requires more detail, the price may be higher.
He made it clear: if you want to upgrade your vehicle, you have to exchange it for the corresponding strange materials.
This aligns with the principle of equivalent exchange in the apocalypse and provides a reasonable channel for him to acquire more bizarre materials for his own consumption and growth.
Chen Shou and Old Zhao both fell into a brief silence, clearly digesting and weighing their thoughts.
Su Ye's ability will undoubtedly greatly improve the survivability and equipment level of the entire team, but the cost is also clear.
Strange materials are not as easy to obtain as cabbage. Killing strange creatures is inherently risky, and not every strange creature will leave behind valuable materials.
Old Zhao scratched his head, the excitement on his face fading slightly, and muttered:
"First-tier bizarre material..."
This thing is not easy to handle.
It's a matter of luck, and you also have to work incredibly hard.
He had killed monsters before, knew how troublesome they were, and was also well aware that not every monster leaves behind a valuable "legacy" after it dies.
Chen Shou's gaze deepened.
Is this investment worthwhile?
Judging from the brand-new extended limousine in front of us, it was clearly worth it.
A more reliable vehicle means greater mobility and a higher survival rate.
"A Tier 1 core material, or its equivalent..."
Chen Shou slowly repeated it:
"That's possible."
He looked at Old Zhao and added:
"But Lao Zhao, don't be in a hurry."
Good materials should be used where they are most needed.
What we have on hand right now has other uses.
He was referring to the tortoise shell and copper bell that had been traded previously. Those materials clearly had the potential to become more valuable "artifact embryos," and paying Su Ye directly as "fuel" might not be the best option.
As for the two strange artifacts, they can be paid for, but since these items belong to the three of them, it still needs to be discussed.
Old Zhao wasn't in a hurry; he just chuckled.
"become!
Listen to the captain!
Anyway, Ye Xiaozi isn't going anywhere; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!
Just then, a loud greeting came from Old Liu's side, and the aroma of breakfast became even stronger.
"Let's eat first."
Chen Shouyi waved his hand,
"After you finish eating, check the vehicle and set off as soon as possible."
