Chapter 85: Chen Ye's Greed

It actually requires 70 Slaughter Points, which was beyond Chen Ye's expectations.

Chen Ye had now developed his own set of appraisal standards.

Generally speaking, anything appraised for under one hundred Slaughter Points were mostly ordinary Wonder Materials, and even if made into Wonders, they couldn't possibly be ranked within the top two thousand.

But seventy Slaughter Points was already quite substantial.

Without a second thought, Chen Ye directly clicked confirm.

The System quickly provided feedback.

Just by looking at the bull bone before him, one could imagine how enormous this Man-Eating Double-Headed Bull must have been.

If this set of bull bones were used to forge a Wonder, it would undoubtedly result in a large-scale Wonder.

Therefore, Chen Ye thought of his own Apocalyptic Pickup Truck.

As long as sufficient Slaughter Points were paid, the System could upgrade and modify it according to his designs.

If he could transform the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck into a Wonder...

His chances of survival in the apocalypse would definitely be greatly enhanced.

"System, can this item be used to smelt the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck into a Wonder?"

The familiar small circle began spinning again.

Soon the System provided an answer.

Simply put, one option used the smelted bull bone to enhance the external rigidity of the vehicle.

The other enhanced the internal rigidity of the vehicle.

When upgrading the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck previously, he had designed a chassis frame and undercarriage set.

But at that time, to save Slaughter Points.

Therefore, this design scheme ended up quite rudimentary, using the cheapest materials provided by the System.

Although guaranteed by the System's products, because it was too basic and simple, after experiencing a sandstorm.

The vehicle body had slightly deformed.

Plus, the vehicle had been continuously driving on desert terrain, placing even higher demands on it.

During driving, Chen Ye could even feel the vehicle sometimes behaving like a soft-bodied creature, with the body occasionally emitting "creaking" abnormal sounds.

If a collision were to occur, the consequences were imaginable—Chen Ye might even get injured.

This isn't to say that System-produced items are inferior.

If they hadn't encountered the sandstorm, this chassis frame and undercarriage set would absolutely have been sufficient for Chen Ye to drive on normal paved roads for many years.

But this was the apocalypse.

In the future, they might even need to go off-roading in extreme environments.

Therefore, a good chassis and frame set were absolutely crucial.

Originally, he planned to use the System to repair it after deducing the method to train supernatural abilities.

Unexpectedly, he encountered this set of bull bones.

If he used this bull bone set to upgrade the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck, the truck would definitely improve by a large margin.

It might even produce some additional Wonder effects.

By then, the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck might not just be a vehicle, but simultaneously a Wonder.

"Little Chen wants this thing?"

Just as Chen Ye was calculating in his mind, an aged voice came from beside him.

It was that old thing Mo Huairen.

The old man had a smoking pipe in his mouth, looking at Chen Ye with a grinning, somewhat malicious expression.

Chen Ye also had a cigarette in his mouth, his left eye still white. Because he had been pondering problems inwardly, his expression carried some gloominess, making him also look not quite righteous.

The two standing together could practically scare away all living beings within three zhang around them.

Sure enough, the effect of the two together was that the surrounding survivors all kept their distance.

"Captain Mo, good morning. I didn't expect Captain Mo to be up so early."

Chen Ye quickly adjusted his facial expression to appear more amiable.

Old Man Mo was also startled by Chen Ye's previous expression, thinking the young man might attack any second.

Seeing Chen Ye's expression soften, the old man's expression also relaxed considerably.

"Yes, need to be earlier this morning. The sooner we finish, the better, to avoid trouble."

This statement carried a double meaning.

Chen Ye gave a hehe laugh without responding.

"This set of bull bones is something we obtained with great difficulty. Previously, the camel train had five Sequence Supers,"

"Later, they were chased down by this Man-Eating Double-Headed Bull. To kill this double-headed bull, one of the Sequence Supers will never wake up again!"

"That time, we lost many people!"

When saying this, a trace of sorrow appeared in Old Man Mo's expression.

Seeing the old man like this, Chen Ye didn't know how to comfort him.

In this apocalypse, people died every day.

However, why would Anomalies chase the camel train?

Under normal circumstances, a team with a pathfinder as captain was unlikely to be pursued by Anomalies.

Could something strange have happened?

As if seeing through Chen Ye's thoughts.

Old Man Mo unusually added more: "With our pathfinder present, most Anomalies are unlikely to chase us, but there are always exceptions to everything."

"Moreover, like Little Chu, I am also just a Sequence 1 Danger Sensor, with limited abilities."

"Anomalies' abilities are also incredibly varied; there are many Anomaly abilities that are unimaginable."

"Just like this Man-Eating Double-Headed Bull."

"Alright, young man, I've explained this much. How do you plan to exchange for this set of bull bones?"

Chen Ye showed a troubled expression on his face.

His most valuable possessions currently were that Apocalyptic Pickup Truck and the Blood Resentment Machete behind his waist.

These two items were absolutely impossible to trade.

There was also some food in the vehicle.

But the remaining food wasn't much, and this also couldn't be traded.

He did have a share of the Wonder Materials from killing the Human-Faced Scorpion earlier.

But this would require agreement from the other three people.

This was clearly impossible.

Chen Ye smiled awkwardly: "I was just curious. Captain Mo, this thing is so precious, I definitely can't afford to exchange for it."

Old Man Mo smiled without concern: "No problem, you can look at other things too."

So he's just a pauper!

Old Man Mo muttered to himself, exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and left.

Chen Ye reluctantly shifted his gaze away from this set of bull bones and turned to look at other items.

It had to be said, the camel train really had many good things.

Much better off than him, this pauper.

Not to mention they had plenty of food.

Even bottled water numbered several dozen boxes.

It seemed Old Man Mo's claim last night that they had just scavenged one building supply point was true.

Chen Ye didn't know that in others' eyes, his eyes were currently glowing with green light, filled entirely with greed.

He practically resembled a starving bandit.

The survivors from the vehicle convoy had also woken up.

They had all started working.

On the other side of the camel train, several people's supplies were also laid out one by one.

Among them, Iron Lion's supplies were the most, occupying a large area in the open space.
