Survival in Space: I have Hundredfold Enhancement - Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Intense Competition

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Something that Grimm didn’t expect happened.

The price of the two data cards he had put up was already quite high. He did not expect that several teams would suddenly appear to buy them through private messages.

Since that was the case, of course the highest bidder would get them.

In less than half an hour, the prices of the two data cards were doubled.

Of course, the higher the price, the longer Grimm waited because the players had too little reserves of materials like fiery ores.

While waiting, Grimm shifted his gaze to the control panel.

At this moment, he saw a golden treasure chest pass by in space.

“Eh? A golden treasure chest?”

The previous space treasure chests he had seen were all silver-white colour, but this time it was actually golden. Moreover, it almost passed by the spaceship in the blink of an eye.

“There must be very precious resources inside!”

Grimm immediately ordered the spaceship to chase after the Golden Treasure Chest.

The propeller rotated, the spaceship turned 180 degrees and then chased after the Golden Treasure Chest.

After more than ten seconds, the spaceship approached the Golden Treasure Chest.

Grimm immediately let the high-speed automatic mechanical claw capture the treasure chest.

The long mechanical claw stretched out, and in less than three seconds, it captured the Golden Treasure Chest.

[ Acquired: Golden Space Treasure Chest x 1! ]

[ Acquired: Small reuin coordinate data card x 1! ]

Grimm was slightly stunned.

He did not expect that the Golden Space Treasure Chest only contained such an item.

Before he could check the data card, the 100-fold increase took effect.

[ The 100-fold increase has taken effect! ]

[ Small ruin coordinate data card x 1 has a 100-fold increase, obtained large ruin coordinate data card x 1! ]

[ Large-scale ruin coordinates data card ]

[ Description: A one-time use item. After reading the data card, you will obtain the coordinates of a large-scale ruin! ]

“Large-scale ruin?”

Grimm smiled. Even with his toes, he would be able to guess that there must be a lot of survival resources in this large-scale ruin. If he went in there, he would be able to earn a big harvest.

Thinking of this, Grimm impatiently inserted the data card into the spaceship’s control panel.

The next moment, a notification appeared.

[ Reading coordinates completed! ]

[ Full speed ahead, arriving in 24 Hours! ]

“What? So close?”

Initially, Grimm thought that the coordinates of the large-scale ruin would be very far away. He did not expect that he would only need 24 hours to arrive.

This was simply too great. 24 hours was just enough time for him to make some preparations before entering the ruins.

Of course, the first step was naturally to create more high-explosive shells.

Although it was a ruin, there was a high probability that there were no hostile lifeforms. However, there might be ferocious beasts, or there might be defensive and offensive facilities that were not completely destroyed.

If he didn’t enough shells, he might take a beating even if he arrived at the ruins.

But the problem was that there were no fiery ores now!

He was feeling depressed when a private message suddenly popped up.

[ Grimm? I am the captain of the Navigator team. I currently have 350 strong ores. Can you sell your high-explosive shell data card to me? ]

Grimm hesitated for a moment. Although this player’s bid was relatively low, he had the advantage of being able to deliver the goods immediately.

[ Alright, let’s trade now! ]

Grimm directly sent the contents of the trade over. The next moment, the trade was successful.

[ Trade successful, obtained: fiery ores x 350! ]

Now that he had obtained the fiery ores, he could now manufacture high explosive ammunition.

He checked the remaining energy he had. He still had 560 points of basic energy. The energy was still okay.

He opened the technology construction interface and checked the manufacturing principles of high-explosive shells.

[ High-explosive shells: 20 points of basic energy, compact alloy X 5, high-explosive ores x 5]

Grimm thought for a moment.

560 points of basic energy. Leaving 260 points for backup, he would have 300 points of basic energy that could be used could be used to manufacture 15 high-explosive shells.

15 shells weren’t enough!

Grimm was a little dejected. He looked at his energy bar, remained silent for a few seconds, and smiled.

“If the energy is not enough, then I’ll build another antimatter energy station. I have plenty of materials anyway!”

Grimm opened the technology manufacturing interface and found the manufacturing schematics of the small nuclear power station. He chose to build it.

Following that, the completed small nuclear power plant received a 100-fold increase and was upgraded to an antimatter energy station.

At the same time the construction was completed, Grimm saw that his energy reserves had increased from 560 points to 1,060 points.

“Hehe, no energy? Not for me!”

Similarly, leaving 260 points of basic energy as backup energy, Grimm could use 800 points of basic energy to produce high explosive shells. After calculating, he could produce 40 high explosive shells.

Then, after these 40 high explosive shells received a 100-fold increase…

Grimm was excited just thinking about it. He immediately ordered to produce shells.

As he gave the manufacturing order, high explosive shells were quickly produced.

[ Acquired: high explosive shells x 1! ]

[100-fold increase has taken effect! ]

[ High explosive shells X 1 has a 100-fold increase. Acquired energy-gathering detonation shells x 1! ]

…

In less than two hours, Grimm had obtained 40 energy-gathering shock bombs.

This shell was heavier than the anti-explosive shell, and its head was slightly longer.

Grimm nodded in satisfaction and checked the attributes of the energy-gathering detonation shell.

[ Energy-gathering detonation shell]

[ Description: it has a greater explosive force, and the shock wave of the explosion can cause shock explosion damage to nearby objects. ]

“Awesome!”

Not only was the power of the shell great, it could also cause double damage. The explosion itself could cause a huge amount of damage, and the shockwave could even hit the target near the explosion point.

“Alright, with this thing, I don’t have to worry about the dangers in the ruins!”

Grimm would arrive at the coordinates of the large-scale ruins in over than 20 hours. Taking advantage of the current energy shortage, he needed to take a good rest.

When the 1000 basic energy points were released tomorrow, he still had to make some poison slurry bombs. This way, there would be no room for error!

Grimm entered the sleeping cabin and began to sleep comfortably.

But on the other side, more than a dozen teams were busying themselves in order to gather the strong ores that Grimm needed.

“Leader, I traded another 50 fiery ores!”

“Go and get another 50!”

“What? Leader, isn’t there only a 50-piece mission?”

“I’ve just received news that the price of that data card has increased. Tell everyone that the previously announced mission has doubled!”

“This… Grimm is too f*cking evil!”

“Hurry up and go. That data card is extremely important to our team!”

While Grimm was sleeping, not only were there many people who were running around to trade and plunder fiery ores, even the communication channel was filled with information about the high price of fiery ores.

[ Buying fiery ores at a high price, private chat if you have any! ]

[ Those who have fiery ores come to me, the price is absolutely fair! ]

[ Don’t you f*cking steal my business! ]

[ I’m definitely going to take that data card in Grimm’s hand! ]
