52: Big shopping spree at the Arena Shop, in preparation for the new dungeon!

"Good!"

Upon receiving Su Yuan's affirmative answer, a gratified smile appeared on General Long's face.

"In that case, let's begin."

He pointed at a stack of documents on the conference table and said to Su Yuan:

"These are the areas most urgently needed for the country's future development, compiled overnight by our Think Tank. Take a look and, combined with the items in your mall, let's formulate a procurement list."

"Yes!"

Su Yuan picked up the documents and flipped through them carefully.

Energy, materials, information, military... The documents listed the current shortcomings and technical bottlenecks of Dragon Country in various fields in great detail.

While reading, Su Yuan quickly matched them with the items in the Arena Mall in his mind.

Soon, a luxurious procurement and analysis plan took shape in his heart.

"Chief, Generals."

Su Yuan put down the documents, cleared his throat, and began to report his ideas.

"First is the field of biotechnology. I believe that the formula for the Bio-Energy Stabilizer Fluid must be purchased and analyzed immediately! This is the prerequisite for our safe use of the t-virus serum and other advanced biological modifications. This item will cost a total of one hundred thousand national fortune points."

"Agreed!" Lin Zhan and Li Guodong nodded without hesitation.

Although one hundred thousand points was a lot, in exchange for a way to use the t-virus serum stably and allow all people of Dragon Country to ascend further—where everyone is like a dragon—this deal was a massive profit.

"Next is the energy sector."

Su Yuan's gaze became fervent.

"I suggest we directly purchase and analyze that..."

He paused, took a deep breath, and spoke the name that made everyone's heart race.

"Controllable Nuclear Fusion technical blueprints!"

[Item: Controllable Nuclear Fusion Technical Blueprints (Primary)]

[Price: 50,000 national fortune points]

[national fortune points required for analysis: 500,000 points]

Hiss—

When Su Yuan announced this name and its astronomical analysis fee, the entire conference room fell into silence once again.

Controllable Nuclear Fusion!

This was hailed as the Holy Grail of ultimate energy for humanity!

Once mastered, it meant having inexhaustible and clean energy!

For a country, its strategic significance was even greater than the t-virus serum!

"Five hundred thousand points..." Li Guodong's throat felt a bit dry, "We... we don't have that much money right now."

"I know."

Su Yuan nodded.

"We only have one hundred and thirty thousand points now. After analyzing the Bio-Energy Stabilizer Fluid, there won't be much left, and we still need to buy other resources. But, Chief, we can't just look at the present."

"The national destiny arena won't just open once. In the future, we will definitely obtain more national fortune points."

"My suggestion is that we buy these fifty thousand-point blueprints first! That way, the technology will be in our own hands. As for when to analyze them, we can wait until we have the money later."

"During this period, we can still conduct research. This way, when the analysis is successful in the future, we can get started immediately and save time."

"Buy it first and keep it in our own hands..." General Long murmured to himself, his eyes flashing with sharp light. "This is a good approach! Just like how we tightened our belts back then to develop the atomic bomb! Technology must be in our own hands!"

"I agree!" Lin Zhan also nodded heavily.

"Then... where are we going to get fifty thousand points to buy the blueprints?"

Li Guodong raised the most realistic question.

Su Yuan smiled slightly and said confidently:

"Chief, you forgot, we also have individual rewards."

"Wang Yi and the other twenty contestants obtained a total of over twenty thousand individual points this time. These points can also be directly converted into national fortune points!"

"My idea is to have the state provide funds to buy up all the points in their hands. As for the funds to purchase the points, I think for the country, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

After hearing Su Yuan's plan, Li Guodong and Lin Zhan looked at each other, both seeing shock in the other's eyes.

This kid... how is his brain wired?

He could actually think of such a roundabout way to save the country?

He's simply a business genius!

"The ratio?"

"One to two."

"Good! From this item alone, we can bring in forty thousand national fortune points!"

"Brilliant! Truly brilliant!"

Li Guodong gave Su Yuan a thumbs up.

"You kid, it's a waste of talent not to be a capitalist!"

"Major General Li flatters me." Su Yuan smiled.

Besides this, as an Administrator, he had a hidden function that could convert personal points into national fortune points at a ratio of 100:1!

Because of the upgrade of [Double Rebate], he had obtained a total of over thirty thousand personal points this time.

In other words, he could take out three hundred national fortune points at any time.

Although it wasn't much, it could solve an urgent need at a critical moment.

"Good! We'll do as you say!"

General Long made the decision on the spot.

"Regarding the matter of purchasing the contestants' points, I'll arrange for someone to handle it immediately! The price will definitely be favorable; we won't let our heroes lose out!"

"So, after solving the purchase of the Controllable Nuclear Fusion blueprints, the next is the military field," Su Yuan continued.

"I suggest we spend ten thousand national fortune points to purchase and analyze the manufacturing technology for the [Single-Soldier Electromagnetic Pulse Grenade]."

"This thing will definitely have a miraculous effect when dealing with high-tech mechanical enemies in the future."

"Moreover, its technical content is relatively low; we should be able to master it quickly and achieve mass production."

"Agreed!"

Lin Zhan said without hesitation.

He had seen the power of the EMP grenade with his own eyes in the dungeon; it was simply the nemesis of mechanical units.

"Finally, in the fields of materials and information, I suggest we don't invest too much for now. We can spend a few thousand points to buy what we need most urgently, such as the formula for a heat-resistant special alloy or the basic model for quantum encryption technology, and let the relevant researchers start their work."

Su Yuan clearly articulated his procurement plan one by one.

The entire plan had priorities, long-term goals, and short-term effective projects; it was extremely well-considered.

Li Guodong and Lin Zhan nodded repeatedly as they listened, their eyes looking at Su Yuan with increasing satisfaction.

This kid not only had a heaven-defying cheat but also a vision and strategic perspective far beyond his peers!

It was a great blessing for Dragon Country to have him!

Finally, after a detailed discussion and supplements, the grand procurement plan for Dragon Country after the first national destiny arena was officially finalized.

Total expenditure:

One hundred thousand points to purchase and analyze the "Bio-Energy Stabilizer Fluid" formula.

Fifty thousand points to purchase the "Controllable Nuclear Fusion technical blueprints."

Ten thousand points to purchase and analyze the "Single-Soldier Electromagnetic Pulse Grenade" technology.

Five thousand points to purchase the "XM-7 High-Strength Alloy" formula.

Three thousand points to purchase the "Quantum Encryption Technology Basic Model."

Five thousand points for various auxiliary rare resources!

Total: 173,000 points!

This was a number that would drive any country crazy!

And Dragon Country, after emptying out the rewards from the SSS-level evaluation, finally managed to scrape together this huge sum.

"Execute it."

General Long looked at the list, his eyes full of infinite longing for the future.

"Yes!"

Su Yuan nodded heavily and immediately began a frantic shopping spree on his system panel!

[Confirm consumption of 100,000 national fortune points to purchase and analyze [Bio-Energy Stabilizer Fluid]...]

[Confirm consumption of 50,000 national fortune points to purchase [Controllable Nuclear Fusion Technical Blueprints]...]

[Confirm consumption...]

As Su Yuan confirmed them one by one, Dragon Country's national fortune point balance rapidly decreased like a floodgate opening.

At the same time, pieces of encrypted technical data representing the pinnacle of future human technology, with the highest level of secrecy, were being transmitted.

Through Su Yuan's system, they were continuously transferred to the main server of the National Destiny Operations Center.

When the last transaction was completed, Dragon Country's national fortune points had dropped from over one hundred and thirty thousand to a pathetic three thousand points.

Including the one hundred and seventy thousand national fortune points spent for Dragon Country,

Su Yuan directly received a rebate of one hundred and seventy thousand personal points!

Calculated at a ratio of one hundred to one,

it meant that at a critical moment, he could instantly produce two thousand national fortune points!

At this moment, not a single person in the command center felt any heartache.

Everyone's face was filled with a smile even brighter than when they had just received the one hundred thousand-point reward.

Because they knew that these disappearing national fortune points hadn't truly vanished.

They had turned into seeds, sown in the fertile soil of Dragon Country.

In the near future, these seeds would take root and sprout,

growing into towering trees strong enough to support the entire country, and even the entire human civilization!

Just as Su Yuan finished all the procurement and was about to breathe a sigh of relief,

his Administrator panel suddenly flashed with a piercing red light without any warning!

A new prompt box popped up.

[Emergency Alert!]

[Detected that national destiny arena No. 2 will be forcibly opened in 72 hours!]

[Initial dungeon information for No. 2 is being generated...]
