Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits - Chapter 59 - 53: Turning Point
Chapter 59: Chapter 53: Turning Point
As soon as he entered, he saw a conspicuous pile of snake-skin bags stacked by the table, his eyes widening slightly.
“Did you bring these back this morning?”
“Yes.” Zhao Yaxin nodded slightly.
Just as everyone was here, Zhao Yaxin met Su Qi’s puzzled gaze, quickly walked to the door, scanned the surroundings vigilantly, and then closed the door.
Su Lin had already run to close the back door with tacit understanding.
Seeing the caution of the two, Su Can and Su Qi immediately realized that they must have encountered something big, and their expressions instantly became serious.
Su Lin closed the door and walked back, saying with a smile:
“Grandpa, Second Uncle, don’t worry, it’s good news.”
“Good news?” The two were taken aback.
Zhao Yaxin didn’t keep them in suspense and said directly:
“We found a golden vending machine in the wilderness, and Uncle spent 20 silver coins to buy a Tier One blueprint.”
“What?!”
Everyone present, except the bewildered Su Yingying, exclaimed simultaneously.
Su Lin carefully took out the smoked meat room blueprint from his inner pocket.
Su Can’s old face was full of shock and gravity, and he even subconsciously wiped his hands on his clothes twice before taking the blueprint, eyes wide open, carefully examining this legendary Tier One blueprint.
Su Qi also lost his usual calmness, hurrying to squeeze in beside his father to watch together.
This was a Tier One blueprint! Even after struggling for three years in the apocalypse, they had never seen one with their own eyes!
The more they looked, the wider their eyes widened.
After a while.
After reading all the information on the blueprint, their expressions had frozen, shocked beyond measure by the blueprint’s described effects, their eyes interwoven with astonishment and joy.
Su Can’s lips moved.
After a long pause.
The old man gently put down the blueprint, slamming it heavily on the table, suppressing his excitement and lowly roaring:
“This will be the opportunity for the rise of our Su Family!”
Second Uncle tightly pressed his lips, jaw muscles tensing, nodding heavily, the excitement in his heart leaving him speechless for a moment.
“Well done! You did very well!” his voice trembled slightly, his cheeks flushed with excitement.
“With this smoked meat room, as long as we have enough time, even if our Su Family can’t lead the village to elevate to a township, it won’t be difficult to secure a place in other township camps!”
Watching the elders’ wild joy, Su Lin timely reminded:
“What about next week’s Shunfeng Travel Group’s Tier One mechanism blueprint?”
“Tier One mechanism blueprint?”
Second Uncle sneered at the mention, his finger heavily tapping the smoked meat room blueprint on the table:
“Even with just this one blueprint, conservatively estimated, it’s more than enough to exchange for three Tier One mechanism blueprints!”
Su Can firmly added:
“And of top-notch quality!”
Finished, he immediately emphasized in an even more unquestionable tone:
“But we definitely can’t exchange it! This smoked meat room blueprint is a priceless treasure! Even in a township, people would fight over it!
“Let them fight for next week’s mechanism blueprint! If worst comes to worst, our Su Family will start anew with this blueprint and house title deed!”
Hearing this, Su Qi’s eyes flashed and his hand reached into his arms:
“Coincidentally, I found this this morning.”
He took out a book.
A book that looked very familiar to Su Lin.
“Is this… a house title deed?!” Zhao Yaxin exclaimed again.
Su Lin was dumbfounded; Second Uncle had found a new house title deed?!
The house title deed is the foundation for building a survival safe house, its value self-evident.
In this world, countless people were forced to sell themselves as tenants because they couldn’t find a house title deed.
“The number of house title deeds is nearly constant, the higher the level of a safe house, the shorter the time a new house title deed comes into being after it’s destroyed.”
Su Qi looked at his nephew: “I might have found this house title deed because of you.”
“Me?” Su Lin pointed to himself, bewildered.
Su Qi placed the house title deed on the table, parallel with the smoked meat room blueprint:
“You wiped out the entire Chang Family, naturally vacating their position.”
Zhao Yaxin frowned slightly:
“But even if it was the Chang Family’s Level 3 safe house that was destroyed, it shouldn’t have produced a new house title deed in just a few days…”
Su Can was so excited his old face was red, waving his hand:
“Whether it’s actually the Chang Family’s or not, just assume it is! Maybe this is Heaven’s blessing to our Su Family!”
Zhao Yaxin had no words, after a moment of contemplation, she continued:
“The travel group consists mostly of wanderers who are extremely keen on house title deeds. If we sell the house title deed to them, it would definitely fetch a high price. If we manage to save up some money these days, we might even be able to buy that mechanism blueprint.”
Wanderers refer to those without registered residences and those unwilling to become someone else’s tenant.
Besides, wanderers are those forced to become wanderers due to losing their residency, and every other wanderer dreams of having their own safe house.
Su Qi made a decisive conclusion: “Let’s prepare for two courses of action!”
If they can buy the mechanism blueprint, proceed as originally planned.
If not, then decisively execute the backup plan, taking the smoked meat room blueprint and the new house title deed to find a new home.
The family excitedly discussed the future, their plans becoming clearer.
Even the usually calm Second Uncle, at this moment, had a burning flame in his eyes.
No one expected the troubles Zhong Wubin brought would turn into such a huge opportunity in just two days.
But there was still an unresolved issue.
Su Lin explained how he “quickly” killed Zhou Song, the second-in-command of Black Scale Village.
Grandpa and Second Uncle immediately stared at him with eyes as if they’d seen a ghost.
Su Lin sheepishly smiled, feeling quite uncomfortable being stared at.
“I didn’t expect him not to dodge; I thought if I couldn’t kill him, I’d just let Sister-in-law cover, and I would continue to attack from behind…”
“Typical, this apocalypse, after eating too many of their kind, brains have gone bad, making them slow to react. If it weren’t for Zhang Shuo’s bizarrely resilient fat, I’d have killed him long ago.”
Su Can had no idea how many times he had dealt with people from Black Scale Village.
Then, the old man sighed: “Had you become like this a little earlier, how great it would have been.”
Second Uncle’s mouth twitched slightly, commenting: “You kid, you’re naturally cut out for the apocalypse.”
The two elders never expected their younger generation to act so decisively and ruthlessly.
Upon hearing Grandpa Su and Second Uncle praising Brother Kirin, Su Tongxi’s face was full of joy.
Though unable to join the conversation in this setting, she was delighted to see Brother Kirin growing more valued and competent in the eyes of the Su Family.
If Mr. Su and Mrs. Su saw this, they could probably smile even in the grave.
Meanwhile, Su Lin was thinking to himself: “That’s nonsense being cut out for the apocalypse; if given a choice, I’d rather be a lazy dog flipping through short videos in a peaceful era than survive the apocalypse!”
“This time you did absolutely the right thing.” Su Can immediately affirmed, “Forget about Black Scale Village folks, even anyone else discovering the golden vending machine, such a big secret, wouldn’t have easily let you all leave.”
Finished, he looked at Zhao Yaxin, admonishing:
“Yaxin, in this regard, you really should learn from this kid. In these times, one must be ruthless and swift, never hesitating when action is needed!
“Even if the opposite are people from our village, so what? Are you going to give up this blueprint for a moment’s softness?”
He heavily tapped the smoked meat room blueprint on the table.
