Chapter 188: Chapter 182: The Fifth Crisis 2
Ye Yun still had a surplus, but these were something he’d always need to acquire.
As long as the price was right, he could overlook the seller’s previous exorbitant demand.
The other party was silent for a moment, seemingly considering Ye Yun’s offer.
Ye Yun wasn’t in a hurry. He knew that since the person had proactively contacted him, they must be willing to sell.
Besides, just as he himself had said, while C20 chips weren’t exceptionally rare, they weren’t that easy to get ahold of either.
After a moment, the other party replied:
[Brother Ye, 15 blue accessories per chip. I can’t go any lower.]
[I’m still short on some resources to buy a set of blue equipment that I desperately need.]
[The only reason I’m making an urgent sale is to upgrade my gear. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be willing to part with them.]
[After all, anyone can tell these chips are good stuff. Everyone wants to hold onto them, and I was reluctant to sell before.]
Seeing the other party’s long-winded speech, Ye Yun rolled his eyes in frustration. They were supposed to be negotiating a deal, yet the guy was trying to play the sympathy card.
Ye Yun:
"The market price is 12 to 13 blue accessories. I’m a very fair person, so I’ll offer 13 blue accessories per chip. If you want to trade, let’s trade. If not, you can just list them on the exchange and see if you can sell them there."
A trace of impatience crept into Ye Yun’s tone. He disliked the other party’s wishy-washy attitude.
If the guy was serious about selling, he should just state a reasonable price instead of bringing up all this irrelevant nonsense.
Seeing Ye Yun’s firm stance, the other party knew he had truly run into an expert this time.
He had originally planned to take advantage of Ye Yun’s urgent need for C20 chips to rip him off.
But he never expected Ye Yun to be so familiar with market prices, completely unmoved by his slick talk.
Left with no choice, he could only agree to Ye Yun’s offer.
[Alright, Brother Ye. Let’s go with your price. We can trade immediately.]
Ye Yun didn’t overthink it and directly accepted the proposal.
The two quickly completed the transaction. Ye Yun paid 52 blue accessories and received 4 C20 chips from the seller.
Although he had spent 52 blue accessories, Ye Yun was very satisfied with the outcome.
As long as it could strengthen the shelter, no amount of resources was too much to spend.
Besides, at the current market price, 13 blue accessories for a C20 chip was definitely not expensive.
Ye Yun believed that as long as these chips could be put to use, their value would quickly become apparent.
After the trade was complete, Ye Yun immediately handed the newly acquired C20 chips to Lin Hao.
[Lin Hao, take these C20 chips and use them for now. Try to control more large mutated creatures as soon as possible.]
[Yes, Lord Administrator.] Lin Hao took the C20 chips, a hint of excitement on his face.
After purchasing the C20 control chips, Ye Yun didn’t let his guard down.
He continued to monitor the shelter’s various data points while also keeping an eye on the activities of other administrators in the public chat room.
As the fifth crisis approached, the atmosphere in the public chat room grew increasingly tense. Many administrators were discussing their preparations and reminding each other of potential dangers.
Ye Yun also joined the discussion, sharing some of his own experiences and reminding other administrators to be wary of unknown risks.
He knew that only by uniting could they survive in this wasteland.
Just as Ye Yun was checking on the shelter’s status, the system suddenly issued a notification.
[The Fifth Crisis is about to begin.]
[All administrators, please prepare to face the challenge.]
Unlike the passive waiting of before, now that he had the chip controllers, Ye Yun had a large number of mutated creatures at his command.
These mutated creatures could serve many functions; besides combat, they could also act as scouts.
In an instant, Number 3 sent back a message through its communication bracelet.
[A large group of unidentified creatures has been detected rapidly approaching our shelter. Awaiting instructions.]
A grim look flashed in Ye Yun’s eyes. He immediately replied to Number 3:
[What are the exact numbers?]
Since Number 3 was not far from the shelter, the communication delay was minimal.
A moment later, Number 3 replied immediately:
[Over 1,000 in number, and there are also about 10 large mutated creatures.]
Ye Yun’s eyes widened when he saw this message.
’Isn’t that number a bit too ridiculous?’
If it were just 1,000 small mutated creatures, the problem wouldn’t be too severe. Small mutated creatures were individually weak, after all. As long as healing could keep up, they could be completely wiped out.
But 1,000 small mutated creatures plus 10 large ones was another matter entirely.
Forget the 10 large mutated creatures; Ye Yun estimated that many shelters wouldn’t even be able to withstand the 1,000 small ones alone.
However, in the next moment, he felt a surge of relief. ’Thankfully, I had Bena and the others go out and capture large mutated creatures to control over the past few days.’
He now had 20 mutated creatures under his control.
He held an absolute advantage in numbers.
But he didn’t want to let these 20 large mutated creatures suffer heavy losses for nothing. After all, both the chips and the large mutated creatures themselves were extremely valuable. Wasting them carelessly was definitely not a wise choice.
Ye Yun stroked his chin and began to seriously consider his battle strategy.
The shelter would have no difficulty facing this crisis. The main consideration now was the issue of attrition.
In just a moment, he quickly devised a strategy.
’To avoid excessive losses, the most important thing is to divide and conquer.’
He didn’t really have the manpower to deal with those 1,000 small mutated creatures right now, so he could just ignore them for the time being.
After all, the small mutated creatures couldn’t inflict much effective damage in a short period.
With the 20 large mutated creatures he had and the strength of his shelter’s members, it was entirely possible to divide and conquer, creating localized situations where they outnumbered the enemy.
With a plan in mind, Ye Yun immediately issued his commands.
[Lin Hao, you control 5 mutated creatures to intercept those small ones. Try to lure them to the sides of the shelter.]
[Bena, Lanton, lead a team to intercept from the left. Zhou Mei, Zhou Yiming, you lead another team to intercept from the right.]
[Your two teams will each be responsible for two of the large mutated creatures.]
[Neil, Hawke, and the rest of you, control the remaining 15 large mutated creatures. Go to Visha and handle the six remaining large mutated creatures.]
Ye Yun’s orders were issued methodically, and everyone clearly understood their tasks and objectives.
[Yes, Lord Administrator.]
Lin Hao and the others acknowledged their orders and began to act according to Ye Yun’s plan.
Lin Hao controlled five mutated creatures and charged toward the 1,000 small ones.
Although the small mutated creatures were numerous, their individual strength was weak. Under Lin Hao’s control, they were quickly lured to the sides of the shelter.
Meanwhile, Bena and Lanton led a team and began their interception from the left flank.
Zhou Mei and Zhou Yiming also led another team to intercept from the right flank.
Their two teams each took on two of the large mutated creatures, engaging them in a fierce battle.
Neil, Hawke, and the others controlled the remaining 15 large mutated creatures and moved to besiege the other 6 large mutated creatures.
Under Ye Yun’s command, the battle proceeded very smoothly.
Lin Hao successfully lured the small mutated creatures to the sides, diverting their attention.
And Bena and the others took this opportunity to quickly eliminate all 10 of the large mutated creatures.
Although these large mutated creatures were powerful, they were ultimately slain under the combined assault of Ye Yun’s forces.
The battle lasted less than an hour, and the entire force of 1,000 small mutated creatures and 10 large ones was annihilated.
A satisfied smile appeared on Ye Yun’s face. The battle had gone even more smoothly than he had anticipated.
[Loot List]
[Green Accessories: +200]
[Blue Accessories: +90]
[White Equipment: +30]
[Green Equipment: +60]
[Blue Equipment: +15]
The amount of loot this time was astonishing, especially the number of green accessories, which far exceeded Ye Yun’s expectations.
These resources were enough to give the shelter’s strength another significant boost.
