After upgrading the aircraft carrier and the fortress, Chen Fan was almost destitute again.

After pondering for a moment, he opened the group chat and started to skin them.

"@Everyone, my concubines, please offer up your supplies. Your King has become a pauper."

Vase: "Trying to fool ghosts? You have at least a few million, if not tens of millions, in supplies."

Samo: "Exactly, exactly. I saw him with several million last time."

Xiao Hudie: "Lacking supplies at this time? Could it be that Brother Fan upgraded the aircraft carrier?"

Wu Yu: "!!!"

Jiu Jiu: "I've sent the trade. See how much of it can be replicated."

Chen Fan smiled slightly, "My Jiu Jiu is still the best. It's already upgraded. The aircraft carrier + fortress completely emptied me out."

Vase: "Tell us in detail about being emptied out."

Samo: "..."

Jiu Jiu: "..."

After some banter, The Five Women also started counting the supplies on hand.

Since the supplies that had already received the Hundredfold Cash Back were mixed with those that hadn't, they could only be traded over in a hodgepodge.

Because their supplies overlapped significantly, apart from the energy focusing crystal and rare mineral cluster, the others didn't help Chen Fan increase his stock by much.

After trading their supplies back, Chen Fan scanned the list.

Among the basic supplies, the only things he was most lacking were Steel and Gunpowder.

If he didn't want to expose his Talent, the best excuse was to help the Players with the Purification of their supplies.

"@Everyone, trade all your Steel and Gunpowder to the team leader. I will help you upgrade the grade of your supplies."

earth burrowing ship: "Boss is awesome! You can actually upgrade the grade of supplies?"

small boat: "I'll trade first as a sign of respect. Boss, will they be more powerful after being upgraded?"

Chen Fan smiled slightly, "Of course. Otherwise, why would I go through all this trouble? But this is only for this one time. I won't have the energy for it later."

Cao Te Ship: "Long live the Boss!"

"Boss is awesome!"

"Only one time? Then I must trade everything over!"

After passing the Newbie Village BOSS, the District 1 Players each received 5,000 advanced supplies.

Excluding the consumption from the Night Instance these past few days, Chen Fan estimated that each person still had about two thousand.

After the Hundredfold Cash Back, that would be about 400 million!

Looking at this number, Chen Fan felt a little dizzy.

Sure enough, hard work isn't as good as being a kept man.

Relying solely on hard work, he wouldn't earn 400 million in this lifetime!

Chen Fan chuckled. With the supplies in hand, he began the Purification process.

After the Newbie Village BOSS, many changes occurred in the game interface.

The most significant was the supply column.

Previously, only ten to a few dozen could be stacked together, but now 10,000 could be stacked together.

In other words, he only needed to perform Purification 80,000 times to finish purifying them all.

Chen Fan lay on his side on the bed, constantly performing Purification, his brain gradually becoming groggy.

When the prompt for the Night Instance sounded, Chen Fan turned over and continued to sleep.

Possessing 10,000 ghost ships, all his current attention was focused on the Superpower Metropolis.

He decided to put the Exploration of the Night Instance aside for now.

Seeing that Chen Fan was not interested, The Five Women also went to rest.

Samo opened Chen Fan's private chat window, fidgeted for a long time, and didn't know what to say.

In the end, she puffed out her cheeks and turned over to sleep.

"Partiality, humph!"

The night passed without incident.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Chen Fan woke up.

Looking at the supplies that hadn't finished Purification yet, he wailed and continued to work hard.

It wasn't until 12 o'clock that the Purification was finally completed.

"From now on, until the game is cleared, I shouldn't be short of Gunpowder and Steel."

Smiling slightly, Chen Fan traded 10 million Steel and Gunpowder to each of The Five Women, feeling high-spirited.

"Enter!"

Samo: "Wow, so many supplies!"

Xiao Hudie: "Finally I can enjoy the feeling of 'da da da'."

Vase: "Could it be that when Brother Fan is with you, it's not 'da da da'?"

Xiao Hudie: "..."

Chen Fan stumbled, almost falling on the deck.

This damn Vase, she can drive on any road.

Shaking his head helplessly, Chen Fan decided he would definitely "da da" her properly next time.

The moment he entered the dungeon, Chen Fan had the Sailor bring Zhou Heng out.

Handing over the super energy chip, "You check if there's a signal."

Zhou Heng bowed to take the super energy chip and tried for a moment before shaking his head:

"How strange, there's still nothing. Could this thing be broken?"

Chen Fan understood in his heart.

It seems that the first stage of the dungeon is highly likely to be in the same world as the main storyline.

Looking at the doubt in Zhou Heng's eyes, Chen Fan did not explain and continued to lock him in the cabin.

It wasn't until the second stage, after entering the Superpower Metropolis dungeon, that he brought him out.

"Check again."

Zhou Heng gave a military salute and took the super energy chip with both hands.

"It's there, it's there! The signal is connected."

Chen Fan nodded slightly, "Contact him."

"Yes, Sir!"

Zhou Heng saluted excitedly again, his fingers tapping continuously on the lens.

On the other side.

Inside a solitary confinement cell.

Zhou Tao rested his hands behind his head, staring blankly at the ceiling.

He had disagreed with the military's plan from the very beginning.

But his position was humble, and not only the Commander-in-Chief but even the elders mostly supported this plan.

Although he did his best to slow down the process, over the years, many residents had still mysteriously disappeared.

The explanation given by the military was that they had encountered sea monsters.

But Zhou Tao understood, where did they encounter sea monsters?

These people were clearly captured by the military to feed the divine beasts.

"Trading the lives of your own compatriots for development, do you really have the heart to do it?"

Zhou Tao sighed heavily, his face full of melancholy.

Suddenly, a low, almost inaudible sound rang out.

Beep, beep, beep—

Zhou Tao trembled all over, his hands behind his head subconsciously clenching.

"This is..."

His eyes narrowed slightly, he glanced at the surveillance in the upper right corner, grabbed the water cup without leaving a trace, and drank a mouthful of water frantically.

Immediately, he maintained his previous posture and lay back on the bed.

A few minutes passed.

Zhou Tao stood up, walked to the door, expressionless:

"I want to go to the toilet."

Soon, two soldiers walked over respectfully and opened the door.

"General, please this way."

Zhou Tao nodded slightly and walked straight to the toilet.

Just as he was about to close the door, he saw the soldier following him into the cubicle and said coldly:

"Do you want to see my size?"

"Uh—"

The soldier's body stiffened, and he scratched his head embarrassedly:

"Sorry General, the higher-ups said to follow you 24 hours a day."

"Is that so? Then stand there and don't move, I'll let you see properly."

After speaking, Zhou Tao turned to the soldier and began to undo his belt.

The soldier's face changed, and he took two steps back unnaturally.

Although Zhou Tao was under house arrest, it was uncertain when he would be restored to his original position.

If he was pushed into a corner and looked for trouble later, it wouldn't be worth the loss.

Thinking of this, the soldier put on a smile and exited the cubicle.

"Don't, General, I'll go out now, hehe..."

Watching the door of the cubicle close, Zhou Tao immediately unbuckled his belt.

He took out a super energy chip from the interlayer, narrowed his eyes, and read the information on it.

"Uncle, I'm still alive. Their target is the divine beast, not the city."

"They promise that if you act as an inside agent, they won't harm civilians after the city is broken, and the city will still belong to us."

After reading this message, a sharp light flashed in Zhou Tao's eyes.

His previous guess was also confirmed.
