Chapter 283: The Domineering People of Refugee Village!_2
Lin Yue quickly discovered that a large number of photos and numerical quantities of items were transmitted before him.
It was as if these things had been prepared long ago, waiting for this moment to appear, smooth and flawless.
"Wow, how long have they been preparing for this..." Lin Yue couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that Third Master Meng Yutang had thought for a long time before finally deciding on everything, and once he decided to become this Domineering Person, everything would happen as smoothly as it is now.
This old fox...
"As a token of trust, and proof of not betraying, I am receiving it now. Since we've established contact, there's no need for any formalities. Fei Yue, as the Domineering Person, I need your strength to help me find something."
As the Domineering Person, he didn't need to establish prestige, because his position was already sufficient to command Fei Yue and the others, and it wasn't he who begged these people to make him the Domineering Person; it was the other way around, it was them who required it.
Therefore, he now holds the initiative and will never let this advantage be reversed.
"It is an utmost glory, Domineering Person, we are ready," Fei Yue responded immediately.
Lin Yue nodded, it seemed things were progressing smoothly. He walked to the underground warehouse and came to the side of the three mechanical dogs, looking at the existing parts and equipment.
After thinking for a while, he replied to Fei Yue, "What I need are sensors, reducers, and precision electric actuators. For each one you find, I will give you 2kg of vegetables or fruit, you can choose the variety. We've added three varieties: carrots, green peppers, and iceberg lettuce. Of course, if you want something else, you can ask me."
Lin Yue glanced at the three mechanical dogs, whose usefulness was undeniable.
He even thought that if used properly, these mechanical dogs would provide him with great convenience in both production and daily life.
The last time he went to the sulfur mine to extract ore, Lin Yue had already fully experienced this.
Robots would complete those tasks that originally required a large number of people, and they would keep working until the power ran out.
No complaints, no need for food or drink, just a simple charge, and they could do a lot for him.
But three mechanical dogs were far from enough.
Mining, transporting, patrolling, and even future tasks not yet foreseen, all required a large number of mechanical dogs to accomplish.
If he did all these things himself, it would take a tremendous amount of time.
This time could be better spent on other things, whether building shelters, exploring the Secret Realm, or going to the Underground Ruins to eliminate Lizardmen and beggars, wouldn't any of these be better than doing those mundane tasks?
"We happen to have these three items, though not many, four sensors, three reducers, and four precision electric actuators. So... Domineering Person, can we really exchange them for 20kg of vegetables and fruit?"
Fei Yue was a bit confused.
These were just some seemingly unimportant scraps, none of which they were lacking.
Moreover, each one found could be exchanged for 2kg of any vegetable or fruit, which was extremely advantageous!
Currently, there's still a big shortage of vegetables in the Shelter, although water resources are sufficient. But growing and eating self-produced vegetables aren't foreseeable in the near future.
These needed items could exchange for a total of 20kg of vegetables and fruit!
10kg, while not much, was already quite decent!
Having the villagers in the Refugee Village eat these things, full of essential human nutrients, could be described as a dream come true!
"You can, you can choose vegetables and fruits yourself, but I'll remind you, watermelons are quite heavy, discuss whether they suit you, and let me know directly when you've made a decision to trade."
Lin Yue was quite excited to hear this good news.
This was his first time announcing a "task" as the Domineering Person, and he achieved a good result in a very short time!
Previously, the transactions he offered on the trading board were ignored, only met with scorn, teasing, or questions, whereas with Fei Yue, there was an immediate harvest.
The contrast was really too obvious.
The Domineering Person position kind of felt good.
This time, Fei Yue chose iceberg lettuce, leeks, and carrots as exchange items, considering nutritional diversity.
Lin Yue now saw Fei Yue not as he claimed, nor as Third Master Meng Yutang described, as unfit to be a leader, but rather as someone with considerable magnanimity.
This person was honest and obedient, yet had his own ideas, and he could completely and strictly execute Third Master Meng Yutang's instructions.
Before agreeing to the Domineering Person's proposal, Fei Yue didn't badger and nag insistently; instead, he gave a lot of space.
As a token of trust, Fei Yue also provided plenty of things.
Whether it was the map or other things, the sincerity was more than enough.
Soon, Fei Yue's exclusive trade request was sent over.
Lin Yue immediately provided the exact amount of vegetables as compensation.
Transaction success!
[You lost 5kg of iceberg lettuce, 12kg of carrots, 3kg of leeks]
[You received: 4 Sensors, 3 Reducers, 4 Precision Electric Actuators]
Oh, everything is stocked!
First, make 3 mechanical dogs!
[Autonomous Patrol Robot: Any Alloy 15/5, Sensor 3/1, Controller 3/1, Drive System 3/1, Actuating Mechanism (Motor, Reducer, Drive, Drive Power Source, Metal Axle Arm, Gears, and Gearbox) 3/1, Integrated Circuit Board 3/1, Signal Transmission Component 3/1, Multifunctional Adapter 3/1, LCD Screen and Components 3/1]
After confirming the materials for the mechanical dogs once again, Lin Yue went to the warehouse, prepared the corresponding items, and then immediately chose to manufacture!
[You acquired 3 Autonomous Patrol Robots!]
After this operation, with a flash of white light, the numerous materials were combined instantly, and three mechanical dogs gleaming with metallic sheen appeared before Lin Yue's eyes!
"Very good, the next step..."
To turn the mechanical dogs into skilled miners, they needed to be equipped with something else!
[Multipurpose Mechanical Arm: Claw Arm, Claw Rod, Lifting Rotation Mechanism, Power Unit, and Linkage Rotation Mechanism (Hard Aluminum Alloy 9/3), Drive Arm (Cylinder 3/1, Air Cylinder 3/1, Rack 3/1, Cam 3/1), Guidance Device, Control Components (Hard Aluminum Alloy 15/5, Precision Electric Actuator 3/1, Power Controller 3/1), Computer Console 3/1]
Three mechanical arms, then upgrade them with the universal upgrade blueprint along with the mechanical dogs.
"Alright, with three more for mining, it's time to proceed to the next step."
Lin Yue moved his shoulders.
It was time to recreate that thing again.
The thing that broke when felling trees outside.
Exoskeleton!
Although it couldn't be solely relied upon, being without it was quite inconvenient.
Since the cave collapse until now, Lin Yue, who once thought he could do without relying on the exoskeleton, had changed his mind somewhat.
Truthfully, solely relying on it, be it for combat or labor, wouldn't take much effort, and one could say that traversing back and forth for combat and exploration in the Secret Realm and Underground Ruins multiple times wouldn't be tiring.
But the downside was the "inertia" caused by severe dependency.
Without the exoskeleton, he became frail.
Why did the Underground Ruins C Zone almost trap him?
It was because, without the exoskeleton, he thought he could handle those Lizardmen but ended up driving them into the final large room.
But what was the result?
The Lizardmen only released the Three-headed Turtle Crocodile, forcing him to retreat, resorting to using the gasoline tank as a last resort.
Otherwise, the Three-headed Turtle Crocodile might have chased him to the doorway like the last time with the Poison Celestial Dragon and destroyed the hard-won shelter.
The exoskeleton, while not to be depended on, didn't mean it couldn't be used.
Lin Yue didn't want to recall the time-consuming task of carrying gravel when excavating large stones.
"Can't do without it, but perhaps, it's not unmodifiable either?"
