Chapter 369: Chapter 201 The Arrival of Guests at the Commercial Complex_3

(Selling flour in Decay 2 is the best way to make money, no contest. It’s also the only way to ensure the base’s permanent benign operation after resources have been exhausted.)

Reset Skill Books, which reset one specific attribute, clear skills gained at 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 stars in that attribute. After resetting, one starts leveling up from scratch again.

Accompanying the Reset Skill Books are the 3-star skill books for the big five attributes. For example, consuming a 3-star Agility Skill Book and then resetting the Agility attribute ensures that a skill will appear upon reaching 3 stars. If one doesn’t like it, they can wash and train to 3 stars again, and a skill will surely appear.

The Life Skill books are as follows.

Reset Life Skills Book, which can wash away a life skill. Most people can only have one life skill; Lin Wu, thanks to being a polymath, has two life skills.

Driving: Increases fuel efficiency by 100%, reduces vehicle scrape and collision damage by 50%, and provides two extra storage slots for top five vehicle materials.

Comedy Performance: Increases the base’s morale by 20%. In the age of firearms, morale has a low impact, but it greatly affects melee.

Coffee Brewing: The base provides coffee for free, allowing for unlimited enjoyment. Note: Coffee will not affect thirst value.

Poker Face: Increases maximum health by 20%. Why would a poker face increase maximum health? Who knows.

Sleeping in Trees: No bed needed, one can enter system sleep anytime, anywhere.

Defensive Installations: Adds two units of construction materials daily and reduces a small amount of Threat Value each day.

Infrastructure: Adds one unit of construction materials and one unit of fuel daily.

Food Searching: Agriculture, animal husbandry, or herbalism players can learn this, adding one food and one medicinal item daily.

Disassembly: Adds 1 unit of ammunition daily and imparts knowledge of ballistics.

Ranch: Allows the building of a ranch expansion in an outdoor large slot, for breeding poultry and livestock.

Combat Medicine: An upgraded skill for doctors, allowing to diagnose and treat the injured over the radio. Note: Half as efficient and requires communication to be maintained.

Sausage Making: Provides knowledge of nutrition, reducing food consumption in the base by 30%. Note: In summer, players with Sausage Making skill in the base increase the amount of finished food by 30%. A 5-pound chicken, with Sausage Making skill, turns into a 6.5-pound chicken.

Looking at all of this, everything is good stuff, but also very expensive. Shana gave up 4 assault rifles just to exchange for a single Ranch Skill Book, and considering the need for a reset, one must first buy a Reset Life Skills Book. But a Reset Skill Book also needs 4 rifles.

Shana on the verge of tears: "Can’t I just rob them?" It’s the first time she’s ever felt the desire to commit a crime.

Lin Wu: "I want to file a complaint, it’s too expensive."

NPC: "You don’t have to buy."

Lin Wu, angrily: "Wanna duel?"

Maya said: "He won’t drop anything."

NPC asked: "Do you guys think my items are too expensive?"

Everyone nodded together, and the NPC took out a treasured skill book: "If any one of you has the Trade Skill, I’ll give a 50% discount on all my goods."

With that, the cost for Emerald Feather to produce and sell flour is greatly reduced. But exchanging for this book also requires 4 assault rifles. Having acquired the book would be useless since everyone has learned their maximum life skills, so they would need to reset, requiring another 4 rifles. That is to say, with 8 rifles, I could have built a ranch, but now it takes 12 to accomplish it.

rifles for Trade, 4 rifles for reset, 2 rifles to buy Ranch after learning Trade, and 2 rifles to buy another reset.

Clearly, it’s not practical at the moment.

Shana asked everyone, "Is there any particular skill you really want that would be a huge help to the base?"

The question was rhetorical, as all the options were good. After a long discussion without reaching a conclusion, Shana started piling up the junk, tossing all sorts of trash into the deal and adding 3 rifles still wasn’t enough for a Life Skill book—finally, adding a handgun did the trick.

Stone said: "I think we could start a ranch, relying on hunters for meat isn’t reliable."

Lin Wu kept silent; he knew that once he spoke up, he would have to go hunting in the future.

Maya said: "Then we need to buy a Reset Skill Book."

Shana: "Why not buy Trade and Reset, then get a 50% discount on the goods?"

Stone said: "Aside from Peanut’s Repair skill, there is no replaceable life skill."

Shana: "My clothes making skill won’t be useful until winter."

Lin Wu chimed in: "She definitely won’t live until winter."

Shana, annoyed, flicked Lin Wu’s forehead lightly.

Maya glanced at the time, reminding everyone, "There’s 20 minutes left." The trader only stays for one hour.
