193: Force Field Shield

Qin Mengyue glanced at the women and replied, "I have a self-selection core, and I wanted to ask if you needed to choose one. Also, I have a [High-Grade Refrigerated Car Compartment]. Do you want it?"

"A [High-Grade Refrigerated Car Compartment]? You keep it; I already have one. As for self-selection, what good ones are there?" Luo Chen asked.

Qin Mengyue's eyes lit up. It was hard for her to part with a purple core; she had spent most of her savings to buy one previously.

However, thinking that Luo Chen already had one, she felt a bit envious. She wondered how many other good things this old lecher had.

"Mainly, there are five categories: weapons, defense, daily life, planting and breeding, and others, totaling several hundred types..." Qin Mengyue raised her wrist, opened the selection page, and extended it towards Luo Chen. "You can look yourself!"

Luo Chen lowered his head and carefully looked at the light screen. As he scrolled through, he found many things that interested him.

Just then, Dongfang Yuyao received a message from Jiang Zhi and quickly called out to Luo Chen:

"Brother Luo Chen, Uncle Jiang is asking which core you'd choose. They voted for four: [purification water tank], [Force Field Shield], [Intermediate Electric Energy Conversion], and [High-Energy Laser Cannon]. They want your opinion."

Luo Chen's thoughts turned to his last experience of being frantically attacked by pterosaurs. He found [Force Field Shield] and clicked on its description:

"[Force Field Shield (Purple): Consumes electric energy to create a temporary shield for the Train, capable of resisting all external physical attacks. The stronger the external attack, the greater the power consumption. Note: Activation consumes 1000 units of electric energy.]"

"It consumes electricity? Doesn't that mean both auxiliary Trains can't use it?"

Luo Chen frowned slightly, but he was indeed very satisfied with this function. He also wanted one, but with only three selection opportunities, he couldn't get one for each Train.

"Let's first see what functions my two cores have." Luo Chen remembered he still had two random purple cores.

He took them out of the gift package delivery box, activated them, and once again received two duplicate cores: [purification water tank] and [Central Air Conditioning Modification].

Luo Chen was somewhat disappointed by this, but not entirely surprised. After several rewards, he had noticed that the awarded cores were highly likely to be related to daily life.

After a moment of thought, Luo Chen replied to Dongfang Yuyao: "Yu Yao, tell Uncle Jiang to choose [Force Field Shield] and [Intermediate Electric Energy Conversion]. Then, tell him that I will exchange my [purification water tank] for his [Force Field Shield]."

Since Uncle Jiang wanted to self-select [purification water tank], it proved that his two random cores were not of this type.

"As for you... whatever!" Luo Chen looked at Qin Mengyue and said indifferently.

"Then I'll also choose [Intermediate Electric Energy Conversion]," Qin Mengyue nodded.

Electric energy solves most problems, and some cores also require electric energy.

"Which... which token did you choose?" Qin Mengyue looked at Luo Chen and asked somewhat shyly.

As soon as she finished speaking, all the women who were trying to curry favor with Luo Chen, except Shirasawa Erina, looked at her with wary eyes.

Shirasawa Erina watched Qin Mengyue with delight. A heavyweight helper had arrived, and she felt her chances of winning had greatly increased.

"You want it?" Luo Chen asked meaningfully.

Feeling Luo Chen's unusual gaze, Qin Mengyue instinctively shrunk her neck.

She had always been a female CEO, a favored daughter of heaven; never had she experienced this feeling of being stared at with an unusual look by a leader.

Her body felt a little weak, a sensation that was both uncomfortable and strangely stimulating.

"I want it!" Qin Mengyue murmured softly.

"Sorry, even if you want it, I can't give it to you," Luo Chen shook his head and refused.

Qin Mengyue's eyes widened instantly, on the verge of tears.

The other women were equally surprised. They had considered Qin Mengyue their biggest rival, but she was eliminated by Luo Chen before the competition even began.

However, realizing that Luo Chen had rejected Qin Mengyue, they understood that he must have made a decision. They quickly looked at Luo Chen with hopeful eyes.

Luo Chen glanced at the time; it was about time. He sat up straight and began to explain:

"As long as your sales reach the target, getting the god of wealth token is a sure thing. There's no need to waste this precious opportunity."

Qin Mengyue suddenly understood and no longer insisted. From the perspective of maximizing benefits, Luo Chen was indeed right; she had been blinded by profit.

She composed herself and looked at Luo Chen curiously, wondering about his choice.

"The minority defers to the majority, so I have decided to choose the God of Puppet Hub's token," Luo Chen said slowly.
