After their companions finished speaking, Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Yalure talked about their investigation, which was somewhat disappointing.
Twelve people have about twelve tons of supplies, equivalent to about 110 million supply points, among which bottled water, cans, fuel, etc. are the best sellers.
They have household electricity and transportation, which is enough for five years, but they have to pay water, garbage, and property fees.
The latter two are not much, mainly due to the water fee. The current water is indirect drinking water, with a price of 1,000 material points per liter and 1 million material points per cubic meter.
A bath for twelve people requires at least 1 cubic meter and 1 million material points.
In other words, if they sell their supplies for half, sit and wait for the mountain to empty, and take a shower every day, they will become homeless for at most 3 months.
"Ah, I don't want it." Christa Lance shouted worriedly.
"Don't worry, we can complete the task." Ymir said, "I have seen that the price of vegetables is very high."
Mikasa Ackerman said: "No, life here is stable and there will be no shortage of vegetables in the future."
“Vegetable prices are high now, but it’s just caused by too many people coming here, causing fluctuations.”
Ermin Yalure said: "In fact, there will be no shortage of staple food, water, household energy, vegetables and fruits here."
"Colorado has been developing renewable energy, especially solar energy, across the state. Colorado's agriculture is a pillar industry, with large tracts of farmland."
Rainer Brown asked: "So what should we do?"
Ermin Yalure said: "The first is to take risks and work as porters. We can get 5 to 10% of the supplies. We have three vehicles and can pull a lot of things."
Alan Yeager sighed: "Just like Mr. Yamazaki said, he has prepared everything for us."
Ermin Yalure said: "The second is breeding. We digest the vegetables and fruits ourselves. Meat and eggs will always be popular,"
"I like this, leave it to me." Sasha Brous patted her chest proudly.
"The third thing is to clean up the streets," said Ermin Yalure.
Ymir smiled and said: "Men, just work hard."
John Kirchuten raised his hands, "Protest."
"Let's do it this way, the girls will stay at home for the time being." Lena Brown said.
No one protested now, because the implication was that girls would cause unnecessary trouble.
…
After dinner, everyone logged into the system and grabbed tasks.
As a result, no cleaning tasks were grabbed, and no moving tasks were found.
The Umbrella Base Organization's transportation tasks are the day after tomorrow, but there are transportation tasks organized by other people, and the share is more than 20%.
Corny Springer proposed that anyone should participate, but Mikasa Ackerman rejected it.
In essence, it was a risky mission that was not suitable for weaklings like them.
Sure enough, just like Yamazaki said, get used to it for a few days.
However, Mikasa Ackerman was not convinced and asked everyone to sort out the tradable supplies.
Since there will be transportation tasks on March 6, that means the prices of some supplies will drop, such as fuel.
…
March 4, morning.
Lena Brown led the boys to the market with tablet computers to investigate transaction prices and planned to trade fuel.
But after being reminded by Yani Reinhardt, it was cancelled.
Because Yani Reinhardt pointed out that the market is not booming in fuel trading.
In other words, the Umbrella Base is likely to stockpile a large amount of supplies to stabilize transaction prices.
After all, they obtained most of the supplies.
Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Yalure realized one after another that if they were a base, they would not even be given supplies. Instead, they would be given supply points and allowed to purchase the supplies they needed on their own.
…
Outside the umbrella base, afternoon.
General Edward and Ms. Roland, led by the mutant Dr. Brian, came to discuss an agreement with Yamazaki and saw Yamazaki carrying a huge boulder and constantly squeezing his physical strength.
General Edward asked: "Has he always been like this?"
Dr. Brian nodded, "Well, Miss Meidaizi gave him a special strengthening potion that can increase his strength more quickly. The premise is that he must continue to digest his physical strength."
"Special strengthening potion?" Ms. Roland was concerned about this.
"Don't think about it, it's just an example. In order to cooperate with the medicine, Miss Meidaizi also formulated a recipe for him every day, stipulating what to eat and how much." Dr. Brian shook his head, "Miss Meidaizi can't do that to others.
, she is actually very lazy.”
While talking, Yamazaki fell down.
Dr. Brian went to talk to them, and Yamazaki told them to just say that.
General Edward didn't mind and came forward to discuss the matter of material maintenance base and transactions.
The price of maintaining a base is calculated on a per-time basis and depends on the opponent.
What the military base can provide is weapon maintenance and manufacturing, while the military base needs raw materials and daily necessities.
Yamazaki suggested that he go online to read the "File System" to see what the locals really need. At the same time, he could purchase supplies online. People are driven by profit.
Then, Yamazaki went to squeeze out his energy again.
Ms. Roland took her tablet to the Internet, registered an account, and checked the tasks.
The high-end demand is mainly for the blood and flesh of mutant beasts, as well as quotas for strengthening potions.
The mid-end demand is to find partners to contract various industries, such as farmland reclamation, coal mining, opening of oil plants, etc.
The first low-end demand is various foods and vitamins, which are used to make fortified pills and fill the gaps in the diet.
The second is talent, including those who install and maintain home solar power systems and electric vehicles, those who use agricultural machinery for farming, doctors, etc.
Three is fuel, and four is companion.
General Edward frowned, "What can we provide?"
"Perhaps we can produce a civilian version of exoskeleton armor, and later a civilian version of mecha, but we need raw materials."
"What can be done now?"
"The first is to repair machines to open up farmland, the second is to take risks, and the third is to wait to be a porter to obtain original capital."
Dr. Brian said: "Let me interject here, this is a labor distribution, and there is nothing for those who do not contribute."
"That is to say, the supplies are distributed to the individual soldiers who moved the items, not to you. Whether the items are returned to the collective depends on the separate agreement reached between the person who gets the items and their respective organizations."
General Edward and Ms. Roland looked at each other, which meant that they had to discuss with the soldiers and ask them to hand over, no, donate some of the supplies.
But how to discuss this, I am afraid that except for good friends and relatives, everyone has their own concerns.
Ms. Roland said in a deep voice: "This trick is so powerful, it speaks directly to people's hearts."
General Edward lamented, "I used to get money as a soldier, but now I get supplies. This is normal. The problem is, we don't have supplies to give them."
"Your Majesty General, maybe you can use what you owe and promise to give me a mecha in the future in exchange for the current supplies."
"Yes, but will he agree?"
“You’ll know after you try it.”
Ms. Roland went to find Yamazaki, but he collapsed again.
Yamazaki agreed, based on 2 kilograms of staple food for 20,000 material points, a loan of 100 tons of staple food, 2 billion material points, and an interest of 10 million material points per day, without stacking.
The price of the mecha is also calculated based on the price of 100 tons of food, based on the price of food when delivered to Yamazaki, but Yamazaki only needs one mecha.
Ms. Roland frowned and thought, the interest was very high, but all she had to pay was the mecha.
And when they can build mechas, they should be able to take back the town on their own, and by then they will be able to repay it with more material points.
General Edward thought there was no problem with Ms. Roland's explanation, so with the help of the Red Queen, he signed an electronic agreement with Yamazaki.
Afterwards, Yamazaki continued to squeeze out his strength, while Dr. Brian took General Edward and Ms. Roland to visit the Umbrella Base.
