Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 153 Transactions and Tasks

Seeing that it was still early, Chen Xuan planned to go out for a walk.

In addition to the 50 points used to post missing person notices, he now still has 60 points in savings.

Why not go to the trading floor and buy something first?

For example, I was interested in the "Evolutionary Creatures Illustrated Table" and watches before, and I wanted to see what other discoveries I had made.

The trading floor was not difficult to find. I picked up two people on the street and asked for directions. After a while, Chen Xuan found the location of the trading floor.

The place looks like it should have been a community bank, and the space is just right for a trading floor.

Walking into the trading hall, although it was already evening, the place was still bustling with people dressed in military green, which was in sharp contrast to the crowd of people in white coats everywhere in the research institute.

Originally, Chen Xuan thought that the trading hall would be like a supermarket, but when he came in, he realized that it didn't look like a supermarket at all. There were neither a wide variety of goods nor shelves.

There are only columns of information on the wall of the hall, which are written on the materials that can be traded, and the prices are clearly marked, which is similar to some fast food restaurants.

There are daily life items, food, medicine, and even arms for sale, which are obviously unique to the military.

Chen Xuan was very curious about the ordnance, so he couldn't help but walked closer and began to browse the information on the wall carefully.

There are cold weapons such as sabers and knuckles, and hot weapons such as mortars, sniper rifles, and submachine guns.

Chen Xuan was naturally excited about hot weapons like guns.

But even in the last days, firearms are still controlled items.

However, Chen Xuan can also understand. After all, if everyone holds a gun, it will easily cause chaos in the current situation. With the troops under control, there will not be too many difficult-to-control situations.

But the price made Chen Xuan speechless.

Not to mention sniper rifles, even the cheapest pistol costs 500 points.

And this is just a pistol, bullets also cost extra, 5 points per bullet.

Good guy, who can bear the cost? Are the bullets fired? They are all gold and silver.

The power of guns has been greatly weakened due to gunpowder, but it is still not within the reach of ordinary people.

Is it true that rare things are more valuable? Metal cannot be forged now, and guns and ammunition are limited products.

Although the price was a bit dissuading, Chen Xuan still wanted to get a sniper rifle and a mortar.

From the current point of view, the power of guns is mainly linked to the power of gunpowder. As long as a substitute is found in the future, guns will naturally be able to exert their power again.

However, it is very difficult for the metal forging process to return to the previous level.

Chen Xuan suddenly thought of gel.

Gel is flammable and explosive, making it an excellent material for making weapons.

Before, he had provided the specific information of the gel to the research institute. With their scientific research level, Chen Xuan believed that they should be able to tinker with some good weapons.

However, a sniper rifle costs 1000 points and a mortar costs 2000 points.

I really don’t know when I can get it all at this price.

After looking at the ordnance products, and then looking at other products, Chen Xuan felt dull for a while.

Instead of staying any longer, Chen Xuan went directly to the staff and spent 5 points to buy the "Evolutionary Creatures Illustrated Table".

There are still 55 points left, and he wants to buy another watch.

The choices of watches are also diverse, including wind-up ones, fully automatic ones, waterproof ones, non-waterproof ones, famous brands, miscellaneous ones... They are basically products from before the end of the world.

However, watches are not cheap. After all, it is extremely difficult to make metal equipment nowadays. A fully automatic mechanical watch requires 200 points.

With Chen Xuan's current net worth, 55 points, he can only buy the cheapest wind-up watch, and the brand is very ordinary, but as long as he can tell the time, it is enough.

Now, even if he couldn't see the sun, Chen Xuan could clearly know the time, when the sun would probably rise, and when the night would approach, which made his sense of security increase a lot.

At this point, all the points gained from updating the illustrated guide have been spent.

Points need to be earned again.

I picked up the watch I just bought and looked at it, 7:35.

There is still some time.

Chen Xuan went to the mission hall of the military headquarters.

The mission hall and the trading floor happened to be next to each other, and it was originally a store.

There are several female soldiers who are responsible for the reception here. They are not dressed up in any way, but they have a heroic temperament.

The method of task announcements was similar to that in the research institute. Chen Xuan began to follow the task notices on the wall one by one.

"Eliminate or capture wild boar in the northern forest. Danger level: General. Reward points: 20 points per kilogram of wild boar, double if you capture wild boar alive."

"Search underwater cities near the plateau to collect resources. Danger level: unknown. Reward points: depending on the situation."

"Investigate the latest behemoths in the ocean and gather resources. Danger Level: High. Bonus Points: Depends."

……

Unlike the missions of the research institute, most of the missions of the military department are field combat missions, and each mission has a risk level assessment.

This is very humane, at least one can prepare first.

However, due to the previous agreement, he must complete as many sea missions as possible, and most sea missions cannot be assessed for danger level.

Therefore, Chen Xuan can only judge based on experience.

Well, the task of collecting resources underwater seems to be the easiest, so let's start with this.

After thinking about it, Chen Xuan already had an idea.

At this time, a task aroused his curiosity.

"Investigate the northwest glacier and collect resources. Danger level: Unknown. Reward points: Depends on the situation."

"Investigate the fog in the northeast and collect resources. Danger level: Unknown. Reward points: Depends on the situation."

To the northwest and northeast, aren't those the locations of the Tenshuang Plateau and the Aono Plateau?

It sounds like there are some situations on the way to these two places.

Maybe you can go and see it yourself later.

Finally, Chen Xuan approached the staff again and asked about the missing person notice issued before:
"Please ask, my name is Chen Xuan. I have posted a missing person notice before, looking for a girl named Xu Qing. How is the situation now? Has anyone responded?"

"Please wait."

"Well... I found it. I'm sorry, but I haven't received a reply yet."

Chen Xuan was undoubtedly disappointed with this result.

There is actually no news yet.

His missing person notice has been posted for nearly 6 days. Normally, the missing person notice in the mission hall should be open to everyone. There is no reason why it should not be seen for so long.

Even if Xu Qing herself didn't see this missing person notice, someone who knew her would always see it.

The current situation of no news made Chen Xuan faintly feel that something was wrong.
