131: Chapter 131 A Hundredfold Critical Hit, the RV Instantly Levels Up to Lv.20!

Two hours remained before reaching the cross-district border.

Chen Chen descended from the fourth floor and walked into the first-floor expansion module.

There was still a batch of loot scavenged from the underground factory last night that hadn't passed through Shen Wanxing's hands.

He dumped the remaining blind boxes and unprocessed Aberration cores from his storage ring onto the expansion module's floor.

Three unopened silver-grade resource blind boxes.

Forty-seven Aberration cores of varying sizes, and several rusty alloy fragments.

"Wanxing, come down and get to work."

Shen Wanxing moved down from the fourth floor, holding the railing as she stepped down one by one.

She could no longer keep her pink high heels on, stepping barefoot onto the cold metal floor.

There were two faint scuff marks on the knees of her black stockings; her silver evening gown's shoulder straps were barely pulled up, and her hair was disheveled.

Her entire being radiated a sense of hollowed-out limpness.

But she still obediently squatted in front of the pile of resources.

"Which one should I touch?"

"Open the blind boxes first."

Shen Wanxing reached out and touched the first silver-grade blind box.

Hum.

Golden light.

Threefold critical hit.

The blind box split open, spitting out three intermediate vehicle cores.

"Not bad, keep going."

The second blind box.

Fivefold; fifteen intermediate vehicle cores rolled out from the light.

"Wow—fifteen!" Su Xiaoqi's head squeezed through the door crack, her eyes wide and round.

The third blind box.

The moment Shen Wanxing's fingertips touched it—

The air in the entire expansion module felt as if it had been sucked out.

Then, a golden pillar of light erupted from the blind box, piercing straight through the metal partitions of the three floors above and shooting into the sky from the roof of the Ghost Fortress!

The light pillar's diameter exceeded one meter, its brightness so piercing that everyone in the first-floor cabin closed their eyes simultaneously.

The system notification sound went wild.

[Hundredfold Lucky Critical Hit triggered!!!]

[Silver-grade resource blind box quality forced leap—Loss-grade breakthrough!]

[Obtained: intermediate vehicle core × 300!]

[Obtained: Space-Folding Construction Module × 1 (S-grade rare building material, can deploy a 500-square-meter prefabricated base at any location, comes with a C-grade defense shield and basic life support system)!]

Three hundred intermediate vehicle cores.

The golden light pillar lasted for a full ten seconds before dissipating.

On the floor of the expansion module, three hundred dark blue cores were piled into a small mountain.

Beside them sat an additional palm-sized silver-gray cube—the Space-Folding Construction Module.

Shen Wanxing slumped beside the pile of cores, her hands covering her mouth, her light amber pupils dilated to their limit.

"Hun... hundredfold?!"

In the first-floor cabin, everyone rushed to the door of the expansion module.

Jiang Yanxue looked at the mountain of cores, her hand sharpening her blade coming to a halt.

"Three hundred?"

Shen Wanbing rushed over from the command station, the blue light of her concentration ice heart necklace flickering five or six times.

She glanced at the total energy of the core pile, her voice changing pitch.

"Shen Wanxing, you're crazy—three hundred mid-tier cores—this is enough to push the Ghost Fortress to..."

Her fingers calculated rapidly on the panel.

"Lv.20, Max Tier."

Chen Chen squatted in front of the core pile, picking up a core and spinning it twice between his fingers.

26 points of luck, a 0.7% probability for a hundredfold critical hit.

The gamble paid off.

"Upgrade it."

"Wait!"

Shen Wanbing cut in, "Lv.18 to Lv.20 requires a large amount of rare metals to complement the core injection; cores alone aren't enough—"

"Whether it's enough or not..." Chen Chen opened the materials list in his storage ring.

The batch of overflow materials from Shen Wanxing's critical hit doublings—Mana-Conducting Copper, high-carbon steel, Memory Damping Alloy—was already too much to use up.

Plus the parts scavenged from the underground factory and the damping alloy dismantled from the mechanical hound remains...

"The materials are sufficient. Do it."

The system manufacturing function activated.

Three hundred mid-tier vehicle cores were poured one by one into the Ghost Fortress's core matrix.

The accompanying rare metals, alloy plates, and energy conduits were taken from the storage ring, automatically decomposed, recast, and welded by the system.

The vehicle's body began to vibrate violently.

The armor layers expanded.

The chassis widened, and the weapon platforms on the roof unfolded to both sides, revealing two new mounting points.

The overall height of the vehicle rose by another half meter.

Outside, the forty-four vehicles following behind witnessed the leading steel behemoth transforming while in motion.

Dark gold armor plates flipped out from both sides of the body, layering one over another like a living thing growing.

A transparent dome structure rose from the roof, its internal skeleton refracting blue-green light under the sun.

The hum of the engine changed.

From a low-pitched vibration, it became an almost inaudible ultra-low-frequency resonance; what was transmitted was not sound, but pressure.

Lv.19.

The body expanded once more.

Lv.20—

Boom.

A ring of dark silver energy waves diffused outward from the center of the vehicle, sweeping across a fifty-meter radius.

The two nearest Anbu off-road vehicles behind were pushed sideways half a meter by the energy wave, their drivers gripping their steering wheels tightly.

[Vehicle Max Tier Breakthrough complete! Ghost Fortress has been upgraded to Lv.20—Ultimate Mobile War Fortress!]

Brand-new vehicle data popped up on the holographic panel.

Shen Wanbing took a deep breath and projected the data into the center of the cabin.
