A Guide to Farming in a Mobile City
Chapter 44: Level 2 Vehicle - Storm Infantry Assault Vehicle

Li Ye thought for a moment, then entered a line of text on the screen.

【Tomorrow: I’ve never seen a Level 2 item before. Has anyone here seen one? Are they much more powerful than Level 1 items? Does anyone have one?】

The members all replied that they didn’t have any, while Vanguard stated that the only Level 2 item it currently possessed was the city radio.

“Just as I suspected, these guys are holding back!”

Li Ye thought to himself.

Although Level 2 items were rare, it was unlikely that no one had any at all.

Just in the past few days, he had seen three Level 2 items on Tomorrow.

He believed the other members definitely had some, and Vanguard even more so.

As for items like City Camouflage, he certainly wouldn’t reveal it, because it was just too practical—like having an extra life in the wild.

After ending the call, Li Ye stroked his chin, falling into thought.

Since he now knew that there was a Predatory Cities Alliance in the city, the best choice for Tomorrow was to take a detour like Vanguard and the others.

Although that would consume more fuel, it would at least be safer.

However...

He pulled up the system panel and looked at the remaining refresh time.

“New intel will refresh soon. Waiting two or three more days doesn’t really matter,” he murmured. “What if there are extremely valuable resources in the city?”

For the next two or three days, Li Ye stopped advancing toward the city center.

Instead, he wandered around the city outskirts, gathering supplies.

When a new day arrived, fresh intel followed.

【1. A gas station 5 km to the southeast still has 45 units of fuel. (Intel Value: Normal)】

【2. 35 km to the northwest, there was originally a survivor community. After some deliberation, the leader decided to take the members and leave the city ruins to make a living. Due to limited space and fuel, they abandoned half of their motorcycles—8 bikes in total. (Intel Value: Excellent)】

【3. Within the city ruins exists a Predatory Cities Alliance named “Tarot.” They have a total of 12 members. Seven members are hunting in the city, while five have gone to the giant forest. This alliance also possesses a Level 2 city radio. (Intel Value: Rare)】

【4. In half an hour, the Wild BOSS “Sir Henry the Collector” will appear at the Living Park in the city center. This Wild BOSS is neutral. Collect scattered Goblin Coins or valuable artworks in the city and hand them over to him to accumulate Contribution Points and exchange for rare items. Additionally, giving him a certain amount of gold ore unlocks hidden exchange items. (Intel Value: Excellent)】

【5. Refreshing... (Intel Value: Epic)】

This was a classic combination of one Normal, one Excellent, one Rare, one Excellent, and one Epic piece of intel.

Li Ye quickly analyzed the intel.

Forty-five units of fuel—still useful even if it's just scraps, especially now that Tomorrow had a convoy, making fuel even more necessary.

Eight motorcycles—these could be incorporated into the convoy to strengthen it. Also good intel.

The Predatory Cities Alliance “Tarot” had 12 members and a Level 2 city radio.

That was troubling—it meant these predatory cities could also share intel, exchange resources, and coordinate in battle.

And now, a Wild BOSS had appeared—neutral, no less. He had to check out what it had.

Once the convoy returned with the fuel and motorcycles, Li Ye immediately rode with Convoy One and set off toward the city center’s Living Park.

Indeed, he didn’t plan on driving Tomorrow there.

After all, the city center was too dangerous, and Tomorrow was a large target—easy to spot.

In contrast, the convoy was much more discreet and could retreat easily if discovered.

Before departing, Li Ye brought all the gold ore from Tomorrow with him.

As he went deeper into the city center, Li Ye saw more and more goblins, along with their trimmed fortresses, trenches, machine gun nests, and cannon positions.

Soon after, he saw the Goblin Fortress.

It stood almost majestically in the city center.

By the time the convoy entered the Living Park, Sir Henry the Collector had already appeared.

This neutral Wild BOSS was a short-statured goblin.

His vehicle was an absurdly massive truck.

“Oh, visitors already? Welcome, welcome!” he said, rubbing his hands together with a smile and flashing a row of white teeth. “Oh, and I’m a noble goblin—don’t lump me in with those filthy, sleazy city goblins, or I’ll get upset...”

Sir Henry briefly explained his requests.

Anyone could accept his commission to collect scattered Goblin Coins or valuable artworks in the city and hand them over.

One Goblin Coin earned 1 Contribution Point, while valuable artworks could range from 100 to 5000 points.

Additionally, Contribution Points could also be earned by killing goblins or destroying their bases and fortresses.

The points earned depended on the target’s level—the higher the level, the more points.

Taking down a Goblin Mobile City or fortress earned a full 2000 Contribution Points.

Sir Henry quickly showed Li Ye a list of exchange items.

【Level 1 Defense Building - Goblin Fortress Blueprint: 2000 Contribution Points, Available: 1】

【Level 1 Crop Seed - Crystal Cabbage: 1200 Contribution Points, Available: 1】

【Level 1 Firearm - Goblin Bandit Machine Gun Blueprint: 1600 Contribution Points, Available: 1】

【Level 1 Cannon - Shadow Cannon Blueprint: 2500 Contribution Points, Available: 1】

【Level 1 City Accessory - City Sail: 1900 Contribution Points, Available: 1】

【Level 1 Weapon - Steam Bed Crossbow: 2200 Contribution Points, Available: 1】

【Level 1 Alloy: 10 Contribution Points, Available: 2000】

【Light Crystal / Molten Crystal / Frost Crystal / Wind-Erosion Crystal / Shadow Crystal: 2000 Contribution Points, Available: 5】

【Level 2 City Accessory - Universal Work Claw: 21000 Contribution Points, Available: 1】

Resources like coal, iron ore, and fuel were also for sale, priced at 1–5 Contribution Points per unit, with a purchase limit of 2000.

In addition, Sir Henry also sold blueprints for everyday items like laptops, TVs, and showerheads.

When Li Ye handed over one unit of gold ore, the goblin’s eyes lit up, and he eagerly rubbed his hands.

“Oh! How did you know I love this stuff?”

“So, can you show me what extra items I can exchange for?” Li Ye asked.

Sir Henry gently shook his head.

“No offense, buddy, but if you want to impress me, that little gesture just won’t cut it.”

Li Ye sighed inwardly.

At present, Tomorrow had a total of 90 units of gold ore.

Gold ore had value similar to rare minerals.

Not only was it used to craft some rare items, but even sold directly, it could fetch a good amount of Crystal Coins.

“If this intel is marked as Excellent, then I’ll take a gamble!”

He decided to hand over all the gold ore.

Sir Henry promptly gave him a warm hug.

“I have to say, you really know how to play the game, buddy! Of course, I won’t shortchange you!”

With that, he revealed his hidden exchange project to Li Ye.

A Level 2 vehicle parked in the giant truck.

【Level 2 Vehicle - Assault Infantry Vehicle “Storm”: 28000 Contribution Points, Available: 1】

【Vehicle Name: Assault Infantry Vehicle “Storm”】

【Level: Level 2】

【Additional Effects: 1. High Defense 2. Amphibious (Land & Water) 3. Self-Repair Function (requires iron ore)】

【The weapons equipped on this Assault Infantry Vehicle are:】

【Main Weapon: Stinger Autocannon】

【Secondary Weapons: Rattlesnake Light Machine Gun, Long Spear Light Missile Rack (can carry 2 missiles simultaneously)】

Li Ye was stunned when he saw it.

“...There’s actually something this awesome?”
