10: Arena Shop! Desert Eagle with Unlimited Ammo!
"Sky Eye?"
Su Yuan was startled by Lin Zhan's evaluation.
He felt a bit embarrassed yet slightly excited.
Sky Eye—that was a very high evaluation.
But thinking carefully, his administrator system could perceive everything in the dungeon,
see players from all countries,
wasn't that just opening a full-map Sky Eye view for the Dragon Country?
"General Lin, you flatter me,"
Su Yuan quickly said humbly,
"I'm just saying what I can see."
"No, it's not an exaggeration."
Li Guodong looked up, his eyes flashing with excitement.
It was a state of hyperactivity after extreme intellectual satisfaction.
He adjusted his glasses, looking at the action route map rapidly taking shape on his tablet, and said excitedly:
"Comrade Su Yuan, you might not understand what this intelligence you've provided means on a strategic level."
"Players from other countries enter the dungeon completely blind, bumping around like headless flies.
They have to spend a lot of time exploring the map, testing the zombies' weaknesses, and searching for safe shelters. In this process, every step could cost them their lives."
"And us?"
Li Guodong's voice rose an octave.
"We're entering the exam hall with the answer key! We know where the supplies are, where the dangers lie, and even where the final BOSS is hidden and which locks the keys fit!
If this isn't a Sky Eye, what is? This is directly tilting the scales of victory heavily toward our Dragon Country!"
Li Guodong grew more excited as he spoke, waving his stylus:
"This isn't just the victory of one dungeon! Think about it, our Dragon Country player clears it with minimum cost and maximum speed, gets the highest evaluation, and earns the most national fortune points!
When these rewards manifest a hundredfold in reality, what will the Dragon Country gain? Technology? Resources? Or even greater power?"
"One step ahead, always ahead! This national destiny arena is an unprecedented trial; we've secured the first ticket, and it's a ticket that can be upgraded into an aircraft carrier!"
Hearing these words from Major General Li Guodong,
Su Yuan's blood began to boil as well.
Yes, he had only been thinking about how to help the player clear the dungeon;
he hadn't looked at the issue from such a macro perspective.
A lead in one dungeon could bring about a generational gap in technology or national strength.
Once such a gap was formed,
in the subsequent national destiny competitions, it would snowball, and the advantage would grow larger and larger.
"I understand."
Lin Zhan, who had been silent beside them, had eyes like a hawk, full of approval.
He was an excellent judge of character,
and could see a level of composure and responsibility in Su Yuan that surpassed his age.
"Staff Officer Li, don't just focus on being excited."
Lin Zhan spoke in a deep voice, interrupting Li Guodong's sentimentality.
"Time is short, keep asking. We need to dig out every detail."
"Right, right, right!"
Li Guodong snapped out of it and immediately focused back on the tablet.
"Comrade Su Yuan, we Next. Regarding the locations of those three passwords, does the system have more specific hints? For example, the safe in the Police Station Chief's office—what's the code?
Or what key is needed to open it? Is the Fire Station Chief's drawer locked? How big is the Mayors Residence, and are there any special defensive measures inside?"
Li Guodong's questions became increasingly detailed,
as if he wanted to create a 3D model of the entire dungeon scene in his mind.
Su Yuan quickly focused and checked the clearance hint on the system panel in his mind again.
These details were actually on the panel!
He pretended to recall for a moment, then spoke:
"Yes. The safe in the Police Station Chief's office has an electronic combination lock; the code is the Chief's badge number, 9527. This badge number is on a nameplate on his office desk."
"The drawer of the Fire Station Chief's desk is locked, but the key is on the coat rack next to it, in the pocket of a fire uniform."
"The most troublesome part is the Mayors Residence. Not only is it large, but according to the hints, the Mayor's family members have all turned into zombies and are wandering inside. The password clue is hidden in a secret compartment in the second-floor study, requiring a mechanism to be activated."
"How is the mechanism activated?"
Lin Zhan immediately followed up; his questions always hit the mark.
"The activation method is... following the order of a painting on the wall, touching several specific year legal codes on the bookshelf in sequence."
Su Yuan repeated the contents of the system hint word for word.
"Good!"
Li Guodong slapped his thigh in excitement. On the tablet screen,
the lines and annotations representing the action plan became clearer and more complete.
"This way, we can even plan out the detailed steps for infiltration and cracking for the players! Wang Yi is a King of Special Forces; this kind of infiltration and cracking is like a routine for him! We're definitely getting these three passwords!"
Under the escort of military vehicles, the convoy proceeded without obstruction,
soon arriving at a military airport on the outskirts of Jiangnan City.
At the airport, a gray military transport plane was already on standby on the tarmac,
its massive engines emitting a low roar.
The airflow from the propellers made people's clothes flap loudly.
This was the first time Su Yuan had seen such a display, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.
He followed Lin Zhan and Li Guodong,
under the protection of a squad of fully armed special forces members,
and quickly walked up the plane's boarding ramp.
Inside the cabin, it had already been converted into a temporary mobile command room.
Several high-tech communication devices were running, with screens flashing various data streams that Su Yuan couldn't understand.
Several staff officers in military uniforms were busy working;
seeing Lin Zhan and Li Guodong enter, they immediately stood up and saluted.
Lin Zhan pointed to a conference table in the center of the cabin.
"Comrade Su Yuan, we sit here and talk."
Su Yuan sat down.
The plane soon took off. Amidst the massive roar, the fuselage vibrated slightly before lifting off the ground and flying toward the Capital City.
"Comrade Su Yuan, we have one last and most crucial question."
Li Guodong's expression became more serious than ever before.
Lin Zhan also sat up straight, his eyes burning as he looked at Su Yuan.
"Go ahead."
Li Guodong took a deep breath and asked slowly:
"Does your administrator system have any other functions besides providing intelligence?"
"Yes."
Meeting the gazes of the two generals,
Su Yuan nodded firmly.
"There is an Arena Mall where national fortune points can be used to exchange for various items. From small things like medicine and food to large items like weapons and equipment, and even... things that exceed our current level of technology."
"For example?"
Lin Zhan's voice was very low,
but Su Yuan could hear a trace of trembling in it.
Su Yuan opened the mall interface in his mind,
looked at the dazzling array of goods,
and picked a few of the most representative ones to mention.
"For example, the primary strength amplification potion priced at 100 national fortune points can permanently increase the user's strength by 10 points. There are also basic masteries of various abilities for 500 national fortune points, which seem to allow an ordinary person to instantly master the corresponding ability."
"And then there's the desert eagle (infinite ammo version) for 1000 national fortune points."
When the words "infinite ammo version" came out of Su Yuan's mouth,
the entire cabin
instantly fell into a deathly silence.
All the staff officers stopped their work and suddenly looked up,
staring at Su Yuan as if he were a monster.
Even Lin Zhan and Li Guodong, two generals who had seen many storms,
were now wide-eyed with shock, their mouths slightly agape, unable to say a word for a long time.
Infinite ammo?
For anyone who understood military matters,
they knew all too well what those two words meant!
It meant that in an apocalyptic dungeon where ammunition was extremely precious,
the owner would gain near-infinite fire suppression capability!
"Can this... can this be exchanged? Can it be exchanged right now?"
Li Guodong's voice changed pitch.
"Yes, our Dragon Country currently has 1000 initial national fortune points. It's just enough to exchange for one."
Boom!
These words were like detonating a nuclear bomb.
Lin Zhan suddenly stood up from his seat, nearly hitting his head because the movement was so abrupt.
He stared fixedly at Su Yuan, his eyes bloodshot, breathing as heavily as a broken bellows.
"We can immediately equip our player with a desert eagle that has infinite ammo right now?!"
