Apocalypse: Resources Consumed by Women Returned Ten Thousandfold - Chapter 79: Forging the Medicine Cauldron
Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Forging the Medicine Cauldron
On the helicopter.
Xu Bing looked full of admiration and said to Ning Shuangyu:
“Captain! Your eye is too sharp! How did you discover Lin Lang, this treasure?”
“He’s amazing!”
“That was a B-Class Superpower User, yet he was taken down in one move!”
“I declare, from now on, Lin Lang is my god!!!”
But Ouyang Yunzhi, next to her, impatiently clicked her tongue:
“You’ve been saying that the whole way, aren’t you tired of it?”
“You’re a Martial Artist!”
“The Martial Dao you’re currently practicing is far more advanced than that superpower stuff!”
“As long as you practice diligently, your achievements in the future will definitely not be beneath Lin Lang’s!”
Upon hearing this, Xu Bing stuck out her tongue and muttered softly:
“With my talent, even if I practiced for ten lifetimes, I might not surpass Lin Lang…”
Ouyang Yunzhi added to Ning Shuangyu:
“Lin Lang’s Combat Power should be at B+ Level.”
“As a Superpower User, this might be his limit!”
“But if he switched to practicing the Martial Dao, the prospects would be limitless! You should try convincing him not to waste his Innate Spirit Body…”
Ning Shuangyu just smiled:
“Him? What right do I have to persuade him? He’ll make his own decisions!”
Xu Bing couldn’t help but add:
“Yes! Lin Lang is very assertive and knows how to stay calm!”
“When Han Ma provoked him earlier, I couldn’t stand it, yet he held back!”
“But once he made a move, it was earth-shattering!”
…
Seeing Xu Bing already become Lin Lang’s little fan girl.
Ning Shuangyu felt proud inside.
But couldn’t help feeling a bit jealous.
So she said:
“Stop talking about him, focus on practicing your Martial Dao instead, after all, you’re from the Vermilion Bird Squad. Don’t embarrass me as the captain!”
Ouyang Yunzhi said:
“Oh, right, I’ve confirmed with the chief. In seven days, there will be a Super Martial Arts Competition, and the champion prize is that bottle of Top-grade Superpower Liquid!”
“What!”
Upon hearing this!
Ning Shuangyu and Xu Bing’s faces both changed!
That’s Top-grade Superpower Liquid!
The effect is equivalent to a Top-grade Superpower Fruit!
It’s an extremely attractive treasure for anyone in the base!
Afraid.
This competition!
Will draw out many usually low-profile big shots from the base!
Even Ning Shuangyu couldn’t help but be tempted:
“Top-grade Liquid! That could at least make me break through to B-Class!”
…
“Here you go.”
Xingfu District, Building C, Unit 1, Room 2102.
Gu Fei handed over the freshly bound “Alchemy Introduction Method” to Lin Lang.
Lin Lang checked it out—
Print was clear.
Binding was neat.
Good job, deserves a reward!
“Not bad.”
“Hmm!”
Just when Gu Fei thought everything was falling into place and that she could finally act independently today…
Lin Lang took the manual into the study.
And didn’t leave the whole night.
Gu Fei:
“…???!!!”
Boo-hoo!
Why is my life so tough!
…
The next day.
Lin Lang studied alchemy all night.
He understood the basic principles.
Ready to put them into action.
“To do a good job, one must first sharpen their tools!”
“For alchemy, the first thing needed is a Medicine Cauldron, commonly known as an Alchemy Furnace!”
So Lin Lang immediately decided what he needed to do—
Craft a Medicine Cauldron!
This requires steel materials and smelting equipment.
Materials aren’t hard to find.
But equipment can be troublesome.
However, Lin Lang always believed—
Everything in the world has flaws, the only perfect thing is one!
And that’s the human hands!
Nothing is impossible for a willing heart!
Human creativity can turn every impossibility into possibility!
He exited the study.
Spoke to Gu Fei, Tang Lingyu, and Lü Su Ran, who were having breakfast:
“Who among you can design a blueprint?”
Tang Lingyu was the first to raise her hand:
“I can do P-charts, does that count?”
Lin Lang: “No.”
Lü Su Ran sheepishly said:
“I can draw simple pictures of puppies…”
Lin Lang: “No…”
Gu Fei calmly said:
“I studied art design and have a professional certificate.”
So naturally, Gu Fei won!
Lin Lang showed her the image of a Medicine Cauldron from the “Alchemy Introduction Method” and said:
“Draw a construction blueprint based on this.”
Gu Fei asked, “About how big?”
Lin Lang thought for a moment:
“The bigger the better!”
He had countless Low-grade Superpower Fruits in his Space!
If he could refine pills.
Lin Lang planned to do a mass refinement with them!
Gu Fei said:
“But not too big, around ten meters.”
Lin Lang said:
“Okay.”
And then, Gu Fei went to the study…
Sure, here’s the translation of the text you provided:
“`html
On the dining table.
Lü Su Ran asked Lin Lang:
“Are you really planning to try alchemy?”
Lin Lang said:
“I’ll give it a shot.”
Lü Su Ran asked again:
“Is it the kind of elixir that can make you immortal?”
Lin Lang said:
“I probably can’t make that kind of thing for now.”
“Oh.”
…
Two hours later.
Gu Fei printed out the blueprint and handed it to Lin Lang.
Lin Lang took the blueprint and went out.
Gu Fei stood in the dining room, gazing at Lin Lang’s back with a vexed look—
This damn alchemy!
She’s determined to oppose it!
Tang Lingyu peeled an egg while teasing Gu Fei:
“Fei sis, haven’t you hooked up with the little husband yet? It’s been days, what are you waiting for?”
Gu Fei pretended to be calm and said:
“What’s the rush? Lin Lang is busy!”
Tang Lingyu sighed:
“Yeah, he’s busy, but despite being busy, both Su Ran sis and I have tried it, yet you…”
This comment struck a chord with Gu Fei, and she bit her lip, steadfastly saying:
“He’ll remember me!”
…
Lin Lang handed the blueprint to Zhang Dabin and instructed:
“Find a way to make this thing.”
“Alright.”
Zhang Dabin nodded.
Without asking what it was or what it was for.
He immediately sent a message in the owner group:
[Those looking to earn supplies, gather at the basketball court!]
The owners:
[Damn! Do they really think of us as cattle?]
[Weren’t the relief supplies supposed to be free? We’re just regular people!]
[Is it necessary to work for supplies? This rule is too unreasonable! Do people who don’t work not deserve to live?]
[If you’re unwilling to give us supplies for free, we don’t need you!]
[Agree to dismiss Zhang Dabin as the district leader, press 1]
[1]
[1]
[Everyone, if he’s dismissed, who will distribute supplies to us in the future?]
[Don’t worry! If he doesn’t, someone else will!]
[We must not compromise!]
[Bring Lord Bulang here!]
[Yes! Lord Bulang is not only strong but also has abundant supplies! It’s perfect!]
[Support! The position of district leader is of utmost glory! Only Lord Bulang is worthy!]
[Agree!]
[Those who support Lord Bulang to lead us, press 111]
[111]
Immediately!
The group was flooded with [111] messages!
Unfortunately.
They kept pressing for a long time.
Neither Zhang Dabin nor Lin Bulang.
Bothered to reply to the messages.
Without the main participants appearing, no matter how fiercely they shout, what’s the use?
Gradually they quieted down…
…
The owners’ resentment.
And that perpetual hope of getting something for nothing.
Still can’t be changed for the time being.
But Zhang Dabin is not worried—
For there will always be smart people in the district.
Moreover, generally smart people are the ones who are valuable!
As for those stubborn and useless ones…
Let them starve to death!
Not long after.
A reasonable group of people arrived at the basketball court.
Zhang Dabin held up the blueprint and said:
“Our task this time is to make this thing! Who knows how to do it?”
At this time, a man with gold-rimmed glasses raised his hand and said:
“I’m a senior engineer.”
Zhang Dabin called him up and handed him the blueprint.
He focused on analyzing the blueprint.
Zhang Dabin asked: “Is it doable?”
The man said: “We can give it a try.”
Zhang Dabin asked: “What’s your name?”
The man said: “Just call me He Gong.”
Zhang Dabin said: “I’ll leave this matter entirely to you. Once successful, I’ll cover your supplies for half a year.”
“Wow!”
At this, the crowd couldn’t help but marvel—
That’s a full half-year’s worth of supplies!
“Knowledge changes destiny!”
This phrase still applies in the apocalypse?!
He Gong adjusted his glasses and asked the crowd:
“Anyone with experience in the steel casting industry?”
“Yes!”
“I’m a welder!”
“I operated large machining tools!”
…
A few people stepped forward.
He Gong arranged them to wait on the side.
Then he told the rest:
“Go collect anything related to steel manufacturing!”
“As much as possible!”
Seeing everyone looking at each other without taking action.
Zhang Dabin timely added:
“Ten pounds of steel for a cup of pure water.”
Instantly!
No one hesitated any longer, and they sprinted toward their respective buildings!
