On the surface, this transaction seemed to heavily favor the other party, but Leng Fengyang held a unique perspective. In this apocalyptic world, humanity not only had to adapt to the norm of survival but also needed to innovate their thinking, including strategies in business transactions.
Exchanging bullets for two barrels of gasoline might appear to be a loss from a conventional viewpoint, but Leng Fengyang understood that hidden behind this trade was the infinite potential unlocked by the blueprint. It was an adventure akin to opening a blind box; the outcome could be immensely rewarding or yield unexpected returns.
He was willing to take the risk based on a gambler's courage and determination, fueled by the mysterious and powerful portable system he possessed. In this unpredictable world, Leng Fengyang interpreted the profound philosophy of coexistence between survival and opportunity with his unique perspective and extraordinary confidence.
Without hesitation, Leng Fengyang pressed the transaction button on the light blue panel. The bullets vanished, replaced by two barrels of gasoline and that eagerly anticipated unlocking blueprint.
"Wow, it's a vehicle upgrade blueprint!" Leng Fengyang exclaimed in astonishment. In this resource-scarce environment filled with challenges, every additional gain could become crucial for survival, especially one that could enhance equipment performance or even unlock new ways to survive.
Luo Shanhe, who had been sleeping soundly, stirred awake in surprise. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he asked curiously, "A-Feng, what has you so excited?"
"I saw him open a blind box; he must have found something valuable," A Yan, who was focused on driving in the front seat, remarked. Although he didn't know why Leng Fengyang was thrilled, it was clear that this was something worth celebrating.
"A vehicle upgrade blueprint?" Luo Shanhe leaned forward, looking at the light blue panel in front of Leng Fengyang with disbelief and excitement in his voice. He straightened up as anticipation replaced his earlier drowsiness and continued, "This means our two tanks are going to change dramatically! With this, our mobility and safety will improve significantly."
A Yan glanced back through the rearview mirror with a gentle smile, unable to hide his excitement as he tapped the steering wheel. "Looks like our tank is about to become a real tank."
Leng Fengyang nodded happily as he caressed the blueprint displayed on the panel, envisioning the modified vehicle racing across the wasteland. "That's right; let me check the conditions for unlocking this blueprint."
He opened the unlocking requirements displayed on the screen:
【Appearance Upgrade: Space dimensions upgraded from axle distance to required materials: metal fragments (units)】
【Interior Upgrade: Control level increased by one; required materials: rubber fragments (units), parts (units)】
【Power Upgrade: Upgraded to required materials: power fragments (units), parts (units)】
Leng Fengyang focused intently on the unlocking requirements on the screen, silently weighing the quantities of materials needed for these upgrades. In past times, these materials might have been easily obtainable, but now, in this desolate apocalypse, acquiring each resource felt particularly challenging.
He couldn't help but marvel at how wise it was for Lone Ranger to so readily release these blueprints. Clearly understanding the hardships involved, they chose to use blueprints as a medium to exchange for more urgently needed scarce resources.
As Leng Fengyang had anticipated, opening blind boxes came with both wins and losses; it was all about the thrill of the experience. He quickly calculated the remaining supplies they had and prepared to check off the necessary materials one by one. At the same time, he mapped out their next course of action in his mind, identifying which resources could be quickly obtained through existing channels and which would require venturing into more dangerous areas, possibly necessitating trades or cooperation with other players.
Observing Leng Fengyang's contemplative expression, Luo Shanhe seemed to glimpse his thoughts and spoke with determination: "A-Feng, regarding the preparation of these materials, I believe we can tackle this together. I will stand by your side to unlock this blueprint, and I trust A Yan feels the same way."
"Upgrading our vehicle to enhance its performance is crucial, especially increasing the trunk space for carrying more essentials. After all, without sufficient reserves, we may struggle to reach the Dark Side of the Moon."
Though A Yan was just a woman, after enduring numerous narrow escapes, she was no longer the naive girl she once was. She was not merely Leng Fengyang's sidekick but an individual capable of independent thought who could help solve problems for their trio.
A Yan had transformed significantly since leaving Waterfall Cliff with Leng Fengyang. She had faced life-and-death challenges and was no longer the innocent girl she once was; she was no longer just dependent on Leng Fengyang. Now, A Yan possessed independent thinking and decision-making abilities, making her an indispensable member of their group. With her unique insights and resilient spirit, she could alleviate their troubles and face difficulties together.
"Lao Luo, A Yan, having you both means so much to me," Leng Fengyang said, his voice filled with sincerity and warmth. In this desolate world, where everyone was preoccupied with survival, he felt immense gratitude and appreciation for sharing this rare friendship with Luo Shanhe and A Yan.
"A-Feng, don't be so formal. If it weren't for you standing up for me that day at the bar, I might have become just another lost soul in this chaotic world. I will always remember this bond we share," Luo Shanhe replied as he gently patted Leng Fengyang's left shoulder from the back seat. Their deep brotherly friendship was etched into their hearts like a lasting imprint.
"Hey, you two gentlemen, can we tone down the emotions for a moment? Something seems off ahead; it looks like there's a checkpoint set up," A Yan interjected. The sight of the two men bonding made her skin crawl a bit, but the situation ahead forced her to remain vigilant once again.
The checkpoint loomed before them like an unwelcome guest on their path, raising questions: how could such a formal inspection exist in this era of collapse? Was it established by the newly formed Temporary Government or something more sinister?
"A Yan, let me drive," Leng Fengyang said. He knew that this unexpected roadblock likely concealed ulterior motives; adapting quickly was their only option in such unforeseen circumstances.
A Yan nodded and swiftly switched places with Leng Fengyang while mentally strategizing possible responses.
As their vehicle approached the checkpoint slowly, several well-equipped soldiers stood imposing at attention, blocking their path with sharp gazes that conveyed an undeniable intent to inspect.
Maintaining his composure as best as he could, Leng Fengyang kept his expression neutral. He lightly touched a button to lower the window and asked in a tone that balanced respect with caution: "Officer, may I ask what this inspection is for?"
Before he could finish his sentence, a Squad Leader interrupted him impatiently, cutting off his attempt to ease the tension. The leader's voice carried a stern edge: "Enough with the nonsense; hand over your identification and vehicle registration."
