Chapter 119 Repair and Upgrade
Ma Lu found an Internet cafe with private rooms next to the rented community, and arranged for Zhen Ye to live in it. He would feed her regularly before and after closing the stall every day.
The day after Zhenye moved, foreman Lao He also brought the decoration workers into the site and started construction.
Although the extremely economical style that Malu chose this time does not require any major changes, there are still a lot of bits and pieces to do.
There is also a renovation project on the second floor. It took almost a whole day just to clean up the mountain of garbage piled up in the room and put protective covers on the furniture.
In the next few days, Malu basically traveled back and forth between construction sites, schools and rental houses.
He originally thought he would meet Yu Yizhuo again. Based on Ma Lu's understanding of that woman, she would usually get back on her feet as soon as possible after suffering a loss.
And her boyfriend should have received a traffic violation notice in the past two days, but Yu Yizhuo has not shown up again this time.
This made Malu a little concerned.
But his attention was quickly attracted by other more important things.
The first is that Lao Wang has upgraded again.
Thanks to the high-star ingredients he brought back recently, Lao Wang’s experience has increased rapidly, and he has now upgraded from lv2 to lv3.
This has also made his cooking skills improve again. When cooking dishes, he has a 50% chance of making high-quality dishes, which improves the deliciousness index on the original basis☆.
Looking at it this way, it seems that the distance to 100% rising star is not that far away.
In addition, there are plans to repair the desktop breeding farm and upgrade the collection bag again.
Malu planned to restore the desktop breeding farm to normal functions before departure, and unlock the fresh food carrying capacity of the collection bag, so that he could start his breeding side business next time he came back.
Of course, the more free ingredients, the better.
Especially for those high-star ingredients, relying on hunting alone requires too much luck. Once the beast tide is over, it will probably be even harder to find them. Breeding is more stable.
Since this time it not only requires new value to upgrade, but also requires a large amount of old value to complete the repair, it is not appropriate to buy new products.
So Ma Lu contacted several second-hand dealers in the same city.
After adding WeChat, he said that he planned to order a large batch of goods, mainly mobile phones. The functions must be normal and the quality may be slightly worse, and then he would ask them to quote.
See who has the lowest bid, then use this quotation to negotiate with other bidders. When a lowest price is negotiated, the new quotation will be sent to other competitors. After repeating two rounds, only There are two families.
Ma Lu placed an order for 500 mobile phones from each of these two companies.
After spending 100,000 yuan, I finally received a variety of mobile phone models, most of which were antique phones from 89 years ago.
Ma Lu fed all these mobile phones to No. 6, and finally gained about 2900 old value points and 700 new value points.
Among them, the exchange ratio between RMB and new value has exceeded the previous 100:1, which is obviously not as cost-effective as placing an order for a new machine directly online.
However, there was a lot of old value included, and it was only 1,100 points short of the 4,000 points needed. Ma Lu thought about it, and found one of the better-quality mobile phones to buy a mobile phone worth 80,000 yuan. This time the roll call calls for 80% to 90% new machines.
This batch of mobile phones contributed 1,300 old value points and 700 new value points to Malu.
The old value has been saved enough, and the new value is still 200 points short. Ma Lu was too lazy to buy second-hand goods and directly ordered a new phone worth 20,000 yuan.
After doing the math, I spent nearly 200,000 yuan in total, which was enough to cover the cost of repairs and upgrades.
And then it’s time to witness the miracle!
Ma Lu placed the damaged tabletop farm into the No. 6 drum.
After a while, when he opened the top cover again, what he got was the complete version of the desktop farm. 【Desktop Breeding Farm】
Level: lv1
Function: Fully automatic breeding farm, small footprint, fast breeding speed, even novice farmers can get started quickly.
Provide a full-food farming ecology. The current breeding limit for each ecology is 2,000 kilograms.
Upgrade preview: The next upgrade requires 100 new values, which can increase the breeding limit of 2,000 pounds.
After the restoration is completed, the desktop breeding farm that was originally only available in the volcanic ecology has now become available in the full ecology. In addition, the breeding limit of each ecology has also been increased by 1,000 pounds.
And this is also an upgradable high-dimensional creation. Each upgrade can increase the maximum weight by 2,000 pounds.
However, the initial 2,000 kilograms of each ecology at this stage is enough, and it will not be too late to upgrade when the upper limit is reached.
Ma Lu picked up the glass box and looked inside. This time, in addition to volcanoes, he also saw a series of terrains including grasslands, lakes, snow mountains, swamps, rainforests, deserts, etc., divided into Small cubicles one after another.
It's a pity that it's a little deserted, and I didn't see any animals inside. They seemed to be waiting for him to fill in the inside.
But just looking at Jingma Lu makes me enjoy it.
It feels like an ecological tank. Just placing it on the table is quite pleasing to the eye.
After admiring the tabletop breeding farm, Malu put the collection bag into the drum on the right side of No. 6 for upgrade.
The storage limit of the collection bag upgraded to lv6 has been increased from 800 to 900. In addition, it can finally be filled with living animals, but only the ingredients in the "Multiverse Ingredients Encyclopedia".
It is probably to prevent someone from completing plane smuggling through this weird method.
Ma Lu did a lot of things this week, and at the same time he did not forget his main business.
As usual, before setting off, he calculated the profit of the No. 1 food stall in the universe this week. The revenue was 197,763, which was slightly lower than the previous week.
Mainly because the unit price has decreased, but by selling 3 yuan per sesame seed cake, it makes up for it, and in the end the price is less than 10,000 yuan.
The cost was basically the same at 1,492.5, and finally 196,270.5 was recorded.
And this is almost the money left in Ma Lu’s account.
It can only be said that he makes money quickly and spends it quickly.
But after this wave passes, the only places that still need to spend money will be kitchen equipment, tables, chairs, benches, and door heads.
Especially in the kitchen, if you have a phase switch in hand, you need to install two of them. Just thinking about Malu is a big headache, but after completing all these, you should be able to save a little money.
…………
Ma Lu didn’t play any more games before setting off this time, and even took a nap to regain his energy.
Because this was already the third week after the beast tide occurred, Malu estimated that the other side should also increase its intensity.
And he guessed right. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was in ruins.
Malu remembered that the last time he got off the line was in Boqi's apartment, and according to the rules he had figured out before, when he came to this plane again, he would appear in the place where he last disappeared.
But now only half of the living room where Ma Lumian stood was left, and the other half had completely disappeared.
Ma Lu looked at the place where the main entrance should have been. It was now empty, with steel and concrete just exposed in the air.
