NOVEL NEXT Chapter 242: Drawing Lots Again_2
Liang Yuan looked at his remaining Points; he had a little over 210,000 left.
He didn't dare to draw Skills again and instead began thinking about the construction of the Shelter.
"For my superstore complex, I need a complete intelligent membership Points system, as well as some automatic checkout equipment."
"System, designate the drawing of a set of intelligent equipment suitable for a superstore complex."
"Ding, searching... Search successful."
"Designated drawing of large superstore intelligent equipment (full set) requires 100,000 Points. Proceed with the drawing?"
Liang Yuan gritted his teeth, willing to spend Points now to earn more in the future, and agreed.
"Draw!"
"Ding, drawing successful!"
"Ding, congratulations! You've received a set of large superstore intelligent equipment (full set), dispatched to your inventory."
Liang Yuan hurriedly checked it.
Large Superstore Intelligent Equipment (Full Set)
Quality: White
Type: Set
Sub-equipment includes: Automatic checkout machine*10, Membership card maker*1, AI intelligent assistance system*1...
Liang Yuan took a glance and his eyes widened instantly.
This intelligent equipment system for superstores wasn't just a membership Points system; it also included checkout machines, a membership card maker, counter computer equipment, an AI assistance system, a monitoring system, and more!
Liang Yuan's eyes instantly sparkled with excitement!
"This 100,000 Points is totally worth it!"
With such a set of equipment, the entire superstore complex looked much more proper.
However, Liang Yuan suddenly realized a problem.
"Wait, what about power? How are these electronic devices going to run without power?"
Liang Yuan quickly checked all the sub-equipment systems.
After checking them thoroughly, he finally found an emergency power supply system.
But it stated that it used diesel for power generation!
Liang Yuan was stunned.
"Dammit, diesel generators..."
He only had petrol on hand, no diesel.
Liang Yuan couldn't help but smile wryly, "Fine, let's draw some diesel then."
"System, designate the drawing of 100 tons of diesel."
"Ding, designated drawing of 100 tons of diesel requires 1,000 Points."
In terms of resources, the system pricing was quite cheap; this 1,000 Points was costly because of the designated drawing.
If it were a random drawing, 100 tons of diesel would probably cost only a few hundred Points at most.
Spending 1,000 Points to get 100 tons of diesel, Liang Yuan estimated this diesel would last him a long time.
He spent another 1,000 Points to draw 100 tons of petrol, convenient for his petrol generator.
"System, how many Points are needed to designate the drawing of a large generator?"
"Ding, a city-level large generator requires a Million Points!"
"What about a village-level generator?"
"Ding, a village-level generator requires 100,000 Points."
Liang Yuan thought about it. His Shelter had nearly 200 people now, almost like a small village.
It was indeed necessary to set up a power generation system.
100,000 Points wasn't too much.
Another round of Sea Tide hunting would suffice.
He thought about it, hesitated for a moment.
Suddenly, he remembered that the Shelter's defensive equipment wasn't up to par yet.
The valley where the superstore was being built was surrounded by mountains on three sides, but there was still a possibility of monster invasions from above.
The Fire Bamboo Forest side also had the possibility of monster intrusion.
Defensive systems were actually more urgent than the power systems.
He immediately asked the system, "System, how many Points are needed to designate the drawing of village-level defensive equipment?"
"Ding, designated drawing of village-level defensive equipment requires 100,000 Points."
"Show me the village-level defensive equipment options first."
Shua!
The system instantly listed all the village-level defensive equipment.
[Electric Grid Patrol Tower] (Village-level)
[Dome Electric Grid] (Village-level)
[High Voltage Electric Wall] (Village-level)
[Concrete High Wall] (Village-level)
...
Liang Yuan glanced around and found that most village-level defensive equipment were electric defense systems.
Some were simply concrete high wall defenses.
It didn't seem worth 100,000 Points at all.
After all, concrete could be built by mobilizing everyone.
Liang Yuan shook his head, feeling that spending 100,000 Points here was a bit unwise.
"It probably isn't what I imagined, but it still feels not worth it. I'd rather get a power system first."
He still had a lot of electronic products on hand, after all, needing continuous power supply.
Besides, wouldn't a high voltage electric grid defense system need power?
Liang Yuan thought about it and asked, "System, designate the drawing of village-level power generation equipment..."
"Wait!"
Liang Yuan quickly changed his words, "Designate the drawing of village-level diesel power generation equipment!"
"Ding, designated drawing of village-level diesel power generation equipment requires 120,000 Points. Proceed with the drawing?"
Liang Yuan let out a sigh of relief, 120,000 Points seemed manageable.
He added two designated tags: village-level, and diesel power generation.
The power generation equipment alone would cost 100,000 Points.
Looking at his remaining Points, Liang Yuan's face turned dark.
He had only a little over 110,000 Points left, which wasn't enough for the diesel generator equipment!
Liang Yuan was speechless. He thought again and revised his designated description.
"System, draw village-level power generation equipment."
"Ding, designated drawing of village-level power generation equipment requires 110,000 Points. Proceed with the drawing?"
"Go ahead."
Liang Yuan sighed. Whether it was diesel, petrol, or other energy sources, he accepted.
At worst, he could spend Points to draw petrol again, seeing how many Points it would consume.
"Ding, congratulations! You've drawn a set of diesel power generation equipment (village-level)!"
