Chapter 119: The Convoy Upgrades Once More, The War Machine

Sitting inside the car, Lin Mu activated his modification skill and rubbed his hands together.

“The fourth floor is completely untouched, now is the perfect time to renovate it.”

He started by creating a standard swimming pool, then worked on the ceiling and various lighting fixtures. On either side of the pool, there needed to be sandy beaches to give it a more upscale appearance.

Lin Mu was quite satisfied with the newly finished pool.

But that wasn’t enough.

He added lounge chairs and large umbrellas, making the space more lavish and magnificent.

A large amount of gold ingots, silver ingots, and diamonds were poured in.

Extreme rustic charm can be trendy!

Lin Mu walked onto the fourth floor and nodded approvingly at the golden decorations.

“Now this looks decent.”

In the afternoon, the four women were summoned to the car by Lin Mu.

“Have you sent out the photos yet?”

“The food photos have been sent already, and the response has been quite strong.”

Hearing this, Lin Mu opened the chat channel.

“Damn! We’re eating dry, hard bread and barely palatable roasted meat, and you guys actually have stews? Is this fair?”

“What’s with those fresh vegetables anyway?”

“Didn’t you notice the photos were sent by a beautiful woman?”

“Beauty doesn’t matter—I want tasty food. I don’t want to eat bread anymore.”

Lin Mu raised an eyebrow; bread was indeed a problem.

He currently had less than ten tons of rice left, which probably wouldn’t last more than a few years.

There was nearly twenty tons of white flour, but he wasn’t keen on eating many flour-based foods.

“Can rice be grown here?”

The group shook their heads.

They were skilled at eating, but when it came to farming, it was a different story.

Who even knew how to cultivate rice?

In theory, rice is a seed, but after processing, Lin Mu wasn’t sure if it could still be planted.

Why not give it a try?

If it could grow, it would mean self-sufficiency.

The only question was whether the environment here was suitable.

Farming and land reclamation were ingrained in the Chinese people’s very bones.

But this matter could wait; first, he needed to deal with the pressing issues.

“Have you prepared your clothes?”

The women nodded.

Anna’s expression was composed, while the other three blushed deeply.

Anna couldn’t understand the embarrassment; the clothes were quite beautiful—what was there to be shy about?

“Go change, then take photos and record videos. All three of you will post them.”

He was confident that with this combination, those men wouldn’t be able to resist.

If not enough, Zhao Jin had over twenty more team members.

Many of them were quite attractive.

Besides, in these times, even a sow might be considered pretty.

Thinking this, Lin Mu’s eyes narrowed and a smile curled at the corner of his lips.

But to the three women, this expression looked disturbing.

“Why does he smile so... lecherously...?”

“You have to admit, that description fits perfectly.”

The three shook their heads and went to the changing room with Anna to put on the prepared outfits.

“Wow, how did you eat to get such a magnificent figure?” Jiang Ying gazed dreamily at Shu Yi.

“Don’t say it. This thing is just a burden; I don’t even want it anymore,” Shu Yi said helplessly.

What choice did she have?

Jiang Ying looked at Shu Xin in confusion. “Aren’t you two sisters? Why is the difference so obvious?”

Shu Xin twitched her lips. “I’m okay, at least a bit better than you.”

Just then, Anna stepped out from a stall.

“I heard you’re comparing figures. How do I look?”

The three women were dumbfounded.

Holy crap! That’s huge!

“That’s scientifically impossible. Who grows like that?”

Ninety to sixty-nine was already improbable, but this top and bottom must be near a hundred.

Anna shrugged. “Succubi are born like this.”

“No worries, I don’t envy it at all. It actually makes my work easier.”

Soon, the four women came out of the changing room.

“Well, this outfit should be fine, right?”

Hearing the voice, Lin Mu turned around.

This...

“Why are the three of you still wearing one-piece suits?”

How could this possibly shock those men?

Anna’s bikini was at least acceptable—authentic minimal-coverage, visually striking.

But...

“Anna, tone it down!”

Watching Anna pose coquettishly, Lin Mu was speechless.

“I’m just checking if the clothes look good. Is that wrong?”

Seeing Lin Mu’s dark gaze, she obediently behaved.

Under Lin Mu’s supervision, the women played in the water, taking turns to photograph and record videos, which were posted to the channel.

Lin Mu watched the excited responses and nodded with satisfaction.

Within a week at most, he would definitely gather a large number of followers.

Then they could be fully equipped with all kinds of weapons.

Heh heh... cough cough, this territory would be his.

...

Midnight struck.

An email arrived in his inbox right on time.

His guess was correct—it was a monthly ranking update.

Other races probably had similar events.

[Monthly Fleet Ranking has been issued. Please check.]

[Ding! You have received: [Fleet Upgrade Card] x1, [Adjustable Laser Emitter Blueprint (SS)] permanent x1, [Small-Scale Plantation] x1]

Huh? That’s it?

Where are the vehicle upgrade cards? The vehicle core upgrade cards?

Why didn’t he get those two?

Of these three items, which belonged to the team members?

Maybe the small-scale plantation?

That seemed the most likely.

[Small-Scale Plantation]: Creates a separate 100m x 100m planting space within the vehicle. Only planting is required, no other care needed. Plant growth speed is tripled.

Lin Mu was very pleased with this.

He had wondered how he would solve future food shortages if he couldn’t farm.

Now the solution had arrived.

If all vehicles had this, he would have 520,000 square meters of planting land.

Lin Mu felt a pang of regret—if he had filled his fleet from the start, he could have had a million square meters of farmland.

This was the reward for first place; he wondered if others had received similar items.

He then used the fleet upgrade card.

After reaching Level 3, the fleet could accommodate 200 vehicles—definitely a useful upgrade.

In addition, a new feature was unlocked.

[War Machine]: Based on the captain’s vehicle form, assemble corresponding war machines. Damage +100%, speed +20%, all defense capabilities +100%.

Lin Mu stared at the new feature, stunned. Was this going to make him invincible?

If he transformed into helicopter mode and combined these vehicles, it would be a massive airborne fortress.

Amazing!

He couldn’t even imagine how large the combined 200 vehicles would be.

Using 70 vehicles for length as an example, with an average of 5 meters each, that would be 350 meters.

For width, if three vehicles wide with an average of 3.5 meters each, that’s 10 meters.

Lin Mu shook his head—too narrow.

He decided to study that later.

His gaze landed on the single blueprint.

As a ranking reward, its quality should be impressive.
