489: Start manufacturing

“No, are you kidding me?”

He Yan’s somewhat exasperated voice came from the other end of the phone.

“A moving truck? Do you know how much that can hold? And the largest size? Even if you had more big red, you wouldn’t be able to use it all!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure it’s packed full,” Xiao Yun said with a faint smile.

He, of course, knew how large a truck’s capacity was, not to mention the highest specification for moving. It was a large cargo truck capable of transporting a full fifty cubic meters and ten tons of weight, enough to hold ten small cars.

However, the Secure Container he was currently using was no ordinary item.

The Secure Container Xiao Yun was currently using had stabilized at a specification of 90x90 or more, which meant a full 8100-slot Secure Container.

And during this period of running the Forbidden Zone, even if he only picked up materials of golden quality or higher, and handed over the rest to Liu Shihhan and Xia Ming to carry, he still managed to fill the Secure Container almost to bursting!

The most important part of this was the six sets Xiao Yun had collected in the Forbidden Zone.

The Level 6 armor sets collected from the Endless Night Dam during this period directly occupied a large portion of the Secure Container’s space.

“By the way, Brother Yan, if I may ask a quick question.”

“Sigh, what do you want to ask?” He Yan sighed helplessly, his voice showing his utter frustration with Xiao Yun’s grand pronouncements.

“The Level 6 armor sets brought out of the Forbidden Zone, do they also count for points at GTI?”

“That’s right, but they must be Level 6 armor sets that have passed equipment inspection and have a durability exceeding 70% of their maximum value to count for points. Also, one Level 6 helmet only gets two points, and one Level 6 armor gets four points, which is slightly less than big red.”

“No problem, as long as it counts. So, it’s settled then. Please arrange a large truck for me tomorrow. If you don’t, I’ll have to order one myself.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll do whatever you say, okay? Then I’ll have Song Qiuyun and the others come over at nine tomorrow morning.”

The two quickly reached an agreement, though He Yan didn’t believe Xiao Yun had so much red material that he’d need a large truck to carry it all, while Xiao Yun himself was worried if one large truck would even be enough.

Besides this, Xiao Yun looked at his newly maxed-out Special Operations Department and thought of a way to earn GTI points.

“Why don’t I make more Level 6 armor sets now and take them to GTI tomorrow to count for points?” Xiao Yun thought to himself.

He knew that he now possessed the ability to craft Level 6 armor sets, an ability even GTI hadn't mastered.

Therefore, he didn't have to worry about whether GTI would verify if these Level 6 armor sets were truly brought out of the Forbidden Zone by him. After all, who would have thought that a regular Operator like him could actually craft Level 6 armor sets himself!

Both He Yan and the other administrators would only assume that these Level 6 armor sets were all brought out of the Forbidden Zone by Xiao Yun.

“I heard that at GTI, you can spend points to go to different departments for special training. I wonder if these trainings are useful?” Xiao Yun thought to himself.

In the game of his previous life, GTI had five departments.

They were the Combat Department, Medical Department, Tactical Department, Logistics Department, and Research and Development Department.

To upgrade stamina, storage, and other things in the Special Operations Department, one had to complete different tasks for each department and reach a certain level before being able to upgrade.

However, in this world where the Forbidden Zone had descended into reality, the functions of these departments had changed.

Regardless of the department, they all provided specialized training for professional Operators.

For example, the Combat Department would train Agents’ aiming abilities, while the Medical Department would teach Operators the optimal methods for temporarily treating different wounds.

These different training programs all required GTI points to purchase before training could commence.

And for professional Operators, the only way to obtain GTI points was to enter the Forbidden Zone and then bring out red-quality materials.

Therefore, if Xiao Yun needed to undergo these various specialized trainings, it would be best to bring as many items as possible when tallying the red-quality materials tomorrow—bring as much as he could. This way, on his first day at GTI, he could immediately achieve point freedom!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun immediately had an idea and then made a phone call.

“Hello? Zhang Yu, where are you right now?”

“I’m online. Do you want to come?”

During this time, Xiao Yun had occasionally spotted Zhang Yu in the Forbidden Zone.

After some investigation, he learned that Zhang Yu’s talent had been discovered by GTI, and he had been assigned special missions by GTI, even having an expert like Song Qiuyun assigned as his bodyguard.

They hadn’t revealed the specific contents of the mission, only stating that it was top secret and couldn’t even be told to Xiao Yun.

This made Xiao Yun a bit puzzled, as Song Qiuyun had previously even told him about the rewards from GTI Headquarters for record-breakers. Yet, there was a mission with an even higher security clearance.

Furthermore, after Zhang Yu arrived in Haibei City, his living arrangements were all handled within GTI. Aside from running the Forbidden Zone, all other matters were completed at the GTI Headquarters in Haibei City.

Therefore, on one hand, Song Qiuyun acted as his bodyguard, and on the other, she likely served a monitoring role.

However, Xiao Yun didn't dwell on this too much.

After all, he and Zhang Yu were brothers who had grown up together, and seeing his progress made him happy for him.

“GTI Headquarters has an internet cafe? Isn’t it underground?”

“Nonsense! What era and technological level are we in now? This place is like a large commercial center; it has everything!”

“You old man, you never forget to go to an internet cafe to play games, no matter where you are!”

“Oh, you don’t know, this thing is addictive. You don’t understand if you don’t play games!”

Hearing this, Xiao Yun smiled helplessly.

As a severely addicted internet user in his previous life, how could he not know what it felt like to be addicted to gaming?

The happiness gained from games was something that nothing in reality could compare to.

However.

In this real world where the Forbidden Zone had descended, Xiao Yun no longer had a need to play games.

After all, the most captivating game he had played in his previous life had directly become reality in this world!

And most importantly.

With his system, playing in the Forbidden Zone was as simple as playing a game, even much easier than playing games in his previous life!

“Stop playing for now. If you’re free, help me check the trading post there to see if there are any high-grade coffee beans for sale?”

“High-grade coffee beans?” Hearing this, Zhang Yu was visibly stunned.

“Are those materials in the Forbidden Zone? I know about boxed drip coffee, but what are these high-grade coffee beans?”

“Don’t worry about it so much, just go and see if they’re for sale.”

“Okay, I’ll go after this round.”

Hanging up the phone, Xiao Yun’s gaze returned to the Special Operations Department panel, and then he clicked into the armor workbench interface.

【Equipment: Terick MAS2.0 Armor Defense Level: Level 6 Durability: 125 / 125 Price: 939,635 Materials Required: Mechanical Worker Bee Model x2, Design Blueprint x1, High-Power Crushing Pliers x1, High-Precision Digital Caliper x1】

He saw that the materials for crafting Terick Armor were the same as in his previous life.

What was different was that in his previous life, the Special Operations Department could only craft one Level 6 armor at a time and required waiting time. However, Xiao Yun’s family heirloom Special Operations Department could now instantly craft, and the materials for one batch could directly craft ten pieces!

Just then, Xiao Yun had a bag of high-grade coffee beans in his warehouse, which he could use to craft a batch.

However.

As Xiao Yun prepared for his first crafting attempt, another question suddenly arose.

The crafting materials for these Level 6 armor sets were indeed the same as in his previous life, but the question was, what materials would be needed for crafting the Level 7 and Level 8 armor sets that the Special Operations Department had now unlocked?

“It can’t be that this thing also needs mandel bricks to craft!” Xiao Yun silently grumbled to himself. mandel bricks were materials used to upgrade family heirloom skills and were very important to him currently, yet he hadn’t even seen a shadow of them, and was even completely clueless about how to obtain them.

However, when he opened the crafting interface for Level 7 armor, he dispelled this doubt.

At the same time, when he saw the materials required for Level 7 armor, his heart was filled with shock!

【Equipment: Asala Forged Warrior Body Armor Defense Level: Level 7 Durability: 255 / 255 Price: Unknown Materials Required: Mechanical Worker Bee Model x3, Design Blueprint x3】

“You mean, the materials required for this Level 7 armor are only one more Worker Bee Model than the Level 6 armor?”
