Chapter 107: Chapter 106: Scouting the Target

「One hour later.」

[Blueprint Research Lab (White)] [Inactive]

[Efficacy: Consumes a certain amount of resources to research blueprints. The more resources invested, the higher the quality of the resulting blueprint.]

[Building Maintenance Requirements]:

[Android/Human/Engineering Robot: 1] [0/1]

[Power: 1 point/hour]

[Note: The efficacy of this building is related to Intelligence. The higher the Intelligence, the higher the probability of obtaining a high-quality blueprint.]

Ye Yun read the efficacy description, lost in thought.

He immediately assigned No. 5 to the Blueprint Research Lab.

The next moment, a pop-up window appeared in his line of sight.

[Please select the resources required for this research session.]

Ye Yun casually tossed in a few white-grade components from the warehouse.

An instant later, the assessment system displayed a message.

[Assessment Type: Production & Manufacturing]

[Assessing production risk...]

[Assessment: 99% chance of a White item, 0.99% chance of a Green item, 0.01% chance of a Blue item. Risk: 0%]

A smile touched the corners of Ye Yun’s mouth as he saw the feedback from the assessment system.

If it were all up to luck, he would be helpless. But with everything laid bare like this...

[Assessment Type: Production & Manufacturing]

[Assessing production risk...]

[Assessment: 89.1% chance of a White item, 9.7% chance of a Green item, 1.285% chance of a Blue item, 0.005% chance of a Purple item. Risk: 0%]

’Garbage. Pass!’··············

[Assessment Type: Production & Manufacturing]

[Assessing production risk...]

[Assessment: 6% chance of a White item, 90.88% chance of a Green item, 3.1% chance of a Blue item, 0.02% chance of a Purple item. Risk: 0%]

Green blueprints were decent, but he didn’t really have a use for them anymore.

After all, the value difference between green and blue equipment was huge. ’So, pass!’

··············

[Assessment Type: Production & Manufacturing]

[Assessing production risk...]

[Assessment: 0.1% chance of a White item, 0.1% chance of a Green item, 99.785% chance of a Blue item, 0.005% chance of a Purple item. Risk: 1.12%]

Seeing the probability of a blue item reach 99.785%, Ye Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The cost of researching blueprints was quite high.

Even though the Blueprint Research Lab could conduct research with just a single white component, the result would be a 100% chance of getting a white blueprint.

To achieve such a high success rate, he had invested five blue components and over a dozen green ones. The research cost alone was equivalent to nearly seven blue components.

Ye Yun just hoped the Blueprint Research Lab wouldn’t screw him over.

[Research in progress. Time remaining: 48 hours.]

Having taken care of everything that needed to be done, Ye Yun glanced at the time and headed to the dormitory to sleep.

For the entire next day, because the exploration team was missing its main combatant, Bena, Ye Yun didn’t dare assign them any tasks too far away.

He had the team scout the area around the shelter. Since it had already been scavenged several times, their haul for the entire day was meager.

Fortunately, Bena’s left arm was recovering faster than anyone had expected.

By the morning of the third day, Bena’s arm was almost fully recovered.

Although he couldn’t use his full strength yet, normal use was no longer a major issue.

Now that Bena could move freely, Ye Yun could finally relax.

After all, there were still three other shelters lurking in the shadows near his own, eyeing him like tigers.

Although he could frequently use the assessment system to check for danger, it wasn’t a perfect solution.

He couldn’t be on guard forever.

The best solution was to eliminate the other three shelters as quickly as possible and ensure the area around his own was relatively safe.

Ye Yun immediately began to formulate his next plan of action.

He first opened the map to check the likely locations of the remaining three shelters.

Soon, his gaze fell upon one of them.

His reason for choosing this particular shelter was simple.

It was extremely close to both his current shelter and Sub-base No. 2.

It posed the greatest threat, and eliminating it would simultaneously lower the risk for both of his bases.

Ye Yun immediately issued them further orders.

[Proceed to the target location and confirm the enemy shelter’s position.]

[Assessment Type: Reconnaissance]

[Assessing operational risk...]

[Assessment: 58.1% chance of a White item, 39.7% chance of a Green item, 2.285% chance of a Blue item, 0.005% chance of a Purple item. Risk: 0.712%]

Since Bena’s injury hadn’t fully healed, Ye Yun had only assigned a reconnaissance mission this time.

After all, he could only guess the enemy shelter’s approximate location; he couldn’t pinpoint it yet.

Seeing the risk was only 0.712%, Ye Yun nodded in satisfaction.

Such a low risk meant either the enemy was very weak, or the two sides wouldn’t have a direct confrontation.

He wasn’t worried about Bena and the others’ safety. With their strength, as long as they didn’t run into a large horde of mutated creatures, there shouldn’t be any major problems.

Ye Yun waved his hand, signaling for Bena and his team to depart.

"Be careful out there. Stay safe."

Bena nodded. "Don’t worry, we will."

With that, Bena led Zhou Mei and the others away.

Watching their retreating figures, Ye Yun turned his attention back to his own shelter.

Early this morning, the construction robot had completed its expansion task, successfully increasing the shelter’s space from 9 slots to 10.

As for the next expansion, that was something for 16 days from now.

After all, upgrading from 10 slots to 11 would take a full 384 hours.

Sub-base No. 2 had different auxiliary attributes. Barring any special circumstances, the main shelter would continue to serve as the main base.

Therefore, their upgrade paths and areas of focus were different.

Opening the construction list, Ye Yun’s gaze lingered on several training rooms.

[Weight Room]: Trains Strength

[Gymnastics Room]: Trains Speed

[Study Room]: Trains Intelligence

[Gym]: Trains Endurance

[Shooting Range]: Trains Observation

The five different training rooms each had their own focus.

If space weren’t a constraint, Ye Yun would, of course, want to build one of each.

After all, with training rooms, he could improve the physical attributes of ordinary people, significantly increasing their individual strength.

With only one slot left, it was a difficult choice.

’No... wait!’

Looking at the building list, Ye Yun quickly had another idea.

Normally, the Water Purification Station, Power Room, and Food Workshop seemed critically important. A shelter absolutely could not function stably without these three things.
