I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 923 - 1012: Commendation Ceremony Summary and Gains
"The gambler discovered the enemy’s fatal weakness and was rewarded with 500 Contribution Value."
"The four-eyed boy battled the giant octopus and was rewarded with 300 Contribution Value."
"The corpse chaser eliminated hundreds of enemies in the water and was rewarded with 300 Contribution Value."
This is just the rewarded Contribution Value. There are also daily allowances, and so on, which will be recalculated by a designated scorekeeper, and then confirmed with the individual before being recorded.
After all, Contribution Value is much more valuable than Virtual Coin.
Jing Shu was organizing her things in her space, feeding chickens, cows, and rabbits, and helping an old sow give birth. She had been so busy these past few days that she nearly forgot all these tasks, while listening to Yang Yang report the data.
Listening away, Yang Yang then proceeded to announce the next recognition event, completely skipping over her Contribution Value.
Jing Shu raised her hand, "Did you forget about me??"
Everyone suddenly looked over.
Indeed, a big fish was missed.
Yang Yang coughed gently and said, "Jing Shu’s Contribution Value is still being calculated. It’s too chaotic, and it might take about a week to calculate it completely."
"Hiss—what does that mean?"
"Just how much Contribution Value did she earn that it takes so long to calculate? A whole week?"
Yang Yang nodded, "If all those guns and ammunition are handed over, the Contribution Value needs to be recalculated. Even if a box of bullets is worth only 1 Contribution Value, you collected hundreds of thousands of boxes of bullets, not to mention other guns and weapons. These need to be handled meticulously, and all must be photographed for the database. A week is a conservative estimate; there are already over a dozen scorekeepers working overtime on it."
Finally, Yang Yang added, "There is just too much stuff."
The others: "..."
Envy, jealousy, hate—their eyes turned red.
Jing Shu thought about it; it was indeed true. Yesterday she was in such a rush, madly loading things onto the ship, with only Wen Jun’s insects helping estimate a rough count. The official statisticians were probably working overtime, and both sides hadn’t confirmed details yet. She nodded and smiled, saying:
"That’s right, no hurry; we can verify the statistics with my people when the time comes." It’s crucial to handle such things carefully to maintain harmony.
Still, Jing Shu was quite looking forward to seeing how much Contribution Value could be earned from raiding a Military Base.
Yang Yang coughed and said, "Speaking of, let’s also commend Captain Jing Shu for her contributions to the country. This time, Captain Jing Shu fearlessly ventured into enemy territory,
not only seizing an entire Military Base’s worth of guns and ammunition but also discovering the national-level top-secret nuclear bombs,
deciding to award Captain Jing Shu, besides the expected Contribution Value, with a First-Class Merit Medal, an internal honorary post, and various other resources. Details will be settled after the event concludes."
Everyone’s eyes burned as they stared at Jing Shu, their envy and admiration clear without words.
"They say it’s an award ceremony, but it’s actually a tribute ceremony just for Jing Shu, isn’t it?"
"The whole time they’ve been praising Captain Jing Shu alone."
"If you could also discover nuclear bombs, they’d treat you the same way up top."
"True, it’s just bad luck."
"Stop, stop, is it really bad luck? Even if you found a Military Base, could you have secretly transported all those supplies out in one day with over fifty ships?"
"Exactly, speaking of Nannan who went with her, she got messed up badly in the base. Her face is beyond recognition; if it were you, you’d probably end up like Nannan."
"By the way, what’s the status of the decision on Nannan?"
"It should be announced tonight; it’s probably the last item. Let’s wait and see."
After Yang Yang finished the award ceremony, Old Zhou nodded, signaling Yang Yang to proceed to the next item, so Yang Yang began:
"Now, let’s discuss the general plans and strategies.
Regarding our current resources, among them are over fifty shiploads of guns and ammunition Captain Jing Shu acquired. Since the ships were borrowed from the official side of Masi, they need to be returned.
Furthermore, most of these guns and ammunition are meant for land combat, not much use at sea. Therefore, we need to transport most of it to Iran, sell it to a Friend Country, and exchange it for a large amount of oil resources from there."
The crowd nodded. The original plan was to wait until we hauled enough before going to Iran to exchange resources. But with the unexpected complication midway, the route now changes, and so must the plan.
Yang Yang continued, "So tomorrow, we’ll first head to Hansi, station there, and then find a chance to transport the ammunition resources to Iran, as the two locations are not far apart."
"Once we arrive in Hansi, we have three main tasks to accomplish. The first is to play the fat sheep, set bait, and attract the local fish. However, Hansi is a big place, and without gun restrictions, it’s ten times more dangerous than Masi. So everyone must be careful not to expose their Power User identity in non-critical moments, lest it becomes problematic."
The crowd nodded eagerly, anticipating their time in Hansi—a rich and lawless haven for river pirates and those who dabble in both legal and illegal trades.
"I heard that in Hansi, the local Township Government is the biggest pirate."
"Yes, though we are strong, if the local Township Government takes an interest in us, their military strength might just devour us whole, right?"
Yang Yang replied, "That’s why we need to draw them in, let the Hansi Township Government understand that devouring us now only yields 100 coins, but waiting and getting us later yields 10,000 coins. Understand? Draw them in."
The art of drawing in is a skill exclusive to Huaxia people, and everyone understood it well.
As for how to execute it, that was best left to strategists like Old Zhou and Yang Yang, while these Warriors focused on following orders, fighting, and getting heads.
Yang Yang continued, "The next step is to transport most of the ammunition to Iran, and the third step is to wait for Huaxia to dispatch people to receive the missiles. Meanwhile, with Old Mi losing so many important items, do you think they won’t pursue us madly? Everyone needs to be extremely vigilant."
Some felt uneasy—why was everyone cleaning up after Jing Shu for the mess her nuclear bomb and ammunition haul caused?
But Yang Yang directly addressed this: "As long as we successfully hand over the nuclear bombs and exchange the ammunition, everyone will double their Contribution Value."
"The boss is generous!"
"Awesome, awesome! Don’t worry; with me, Old Zhang, around, nothing will go wrong."
The plans were finally laid out, all the gains and assets at stake, then Yang Yang’s expression turned serious, he waved his hand, then—
