The pale red sunset covered the ground.

After the rain and the weather cleared up, the weather in the wasteland became extremely peaceful. The sun was shining brightly for several days, sending out billowing heat waves.

As soon as he opened the door to the workshop, the heat coming from the shop immediately woke Somo up.

I dropped in all the way to Sun Quan's workshop next door.

After whispering a few words, the latter almost jumped up with excitement after hearing the news that the energy stone tool was successfully developed.

Su Mo smiled vaguely, closed the door of the workroom with Sun Quan, left early and went straight to the cafeteria.

Although Sun Quan has not touched a computer for eight years, as soon as the dust-laden memories in his brain are activated, his recovery speed is completely in line with his displayed intelligence.

These days, after handing over the main control program of the fully automatic harvester to Sun Quan to complete.

Soma got extremely satisfactory results, which even exceeded expectations.

Of course, although this subsequent program will continue to undergo system upgrades and matching before it can be used,

But at a time when survival points can only be consumed but not accumulated, being able to save dozens or hundreds of points is definitely valuable.

"Hey, Master Su is going to have dinner~"

"Master Su came here very early today. Didn't he have a few bites at noon?"

"Haha, it's not easy for a busy man like Master Su to see you at this time today."

"I don't accept anyone, but I accept Master Su's professionalism!"

On the way to the canteen, workers passed by in small and large groups. After seeing Somo, they all came up to him and greeted him warmly.

And Sumo didn't hesitate to smile, and responded cheerfully.

After Zhang Min left, as he became more familiar with Zhang Bowen, he would occasionally share some business tips during breaks.

There are questions about how stores can increase profits and how to cultivate reserve talents.

There are tips on how to greet employees and how to protect yourself in the vicious competition.

When he was learning these things in the past, Mr. Zhang Da didn't even understand them himself. Most of them were gained through trial and error, which often left Zhang Bowen confused and he naturally didn't show any talent.

But now, he is being trained by Sumo in a targeted manner.

Zhang Bowen listened carefully and tried it more than once.

Although due to unfamiliarity, the effect still did not meet Somo's previous expectations.

But compared with the previous days when there were only so many people at Zizai Liangfang, Liangfang has recently been able to maintain a rate of 30 to 50 workers joining every day.

In just three days, there were now more than 150 people in Liangfang, and it finally became a little lively.

"Brother Su, if you say that you are now the shopkeeper of Zizai Liangfang, my little grandson will believe it!"

"Go away, I think you, my little grandson, want to be the shopkeeper of Zizai Liangfang, right?"

After patting Sun Quan on the shoulder and seeing the latter running away with a smile, Su Mo couldn't help but quicken his steps and felt happy.

Compared to the wasteland in the last calendar year, eight years later, let’s not talk about other territories.

In the Tianyuan territory he created, Sumo felt so comfortable that he didn't want to leave.

There are even times when I look at the powerful territory, the powerful escorts, and all kinds of strange weapons and scientific research equipment.

Soma has an illusion.

Even without him, the territory will be more than 99% sure that it can survive the zombie wave that will come in a year's time.

Even if you have to pay some price, it is definitely within the tolerance range.

Maybe when other people come to the ruins, they have to run on the line of life and death every day, but when he comes in, it's as if he's on vacation, and it's extremely comfortable.

"Brother Su, I'm going to buy two bottles of soda. What do you want to drink?"

"Forget about the soda. Bring me some iced tea."

"Okay~" Walking to the door of the canteen, he knew that Sumo was going to talk to the new cook Pei Zhao.

Sun Quan very wisely found an excuse, walked out of the back door of Liangfang, and walked all the way to the canteen not far away.

With room to perform, Sumo was not polite and stepped directly into the kitchen of the cafeteria.

On a hot day, there is no air conditioner in the kitchen that could cool things down in civilized times.

As soon as we entered, the temperature instantly rose by five or six degrees. People who felt so hot were so hot all over that they wanted to jump into a puddle and roll around.

However, in the white mist, Pei Shao transformed into a chef and his three apprentices.

But he is still serious.

Make soup, stir-fry vegetables, and steam buns. Anyone who comes here can't find any clues!

"Hey, Teacher Su is here, are you hungry?"

"I've cooked three dishes here. If you want to eat, I'll get you two white steamed buns. Can you fill your stomach first?"

Pei Shao, carrying three large iron basins and wearing a white chef's uniform, walked out of the back kitchen and placed them on the table outside in turn.

He first wiped the hot sweat on his head, then bent slightly and smiled.

After three or four days of contact, the two of them became somewhat familiar.

Pei Shao knew that he was from the Qingguo Territory. He was an ordinary person who suddenly got some luck, and then he collected enough points to buy his identity and joined the territory to make a living.

Su Mo knew that Pei Shao was also the head chef of a small territory nearby. He had no choice but to join Tianyuan Territory after the territory went bankrupt and he lost all the points he had accumulated.

In terms of identity, perhaps there are some loopholes in what Sumo said, and the anomalies can be found through traceability.

But here in Pei Shao, everything is perfect. Even if Su Mo goes to investigate, he will really find such a person.

Moreover, this man's experience and the story that happened to him will definitely match what Pei Shao is telling him now, without any gaps.

In this case, I want to continue playing.

If there was no time limit, Sumo might continue to act stupid for a while and observe Pei Shao's changes in the past eight years.

But now.

"Master Pei, please stop working. I'm not hungry at all. I just want to ask you something."

"Oh? Teacher Su is so polite today. I'm just a bad old man who can cook some food. How can I help you?"

After being stunned for a moment, Pei Shao took off his chef's hat and shook his head repeatedly.

In eight years, he has reached the age of forty. He doesn't know whether it's because of the huge depletion of energy from working all day long, or because of the incomparable suffering of the years in the wasteland.

In Sumo's memory, Pei Shao had aged more than five years, more than ten years.

In the real wasteland world, Pei Shao, who is in his early thirties, is as strong as a young man, with endless energy in his body.

But now, the corners of his eyes have begun to droop, and there are obvious grooves and wrinkles on his face.

Even his voice began to look older, and one could only vaguely judge how many ups and downs the territory had gone through in the past eight years.

"It's like this, Master Pei, I need to buy something, but I feel that only you can get these things, so I want to discuss it with you in advance."

"Of course, if you find it troublesome, just pretend I didn't say anything today."

Sumo glanced at the food preparation area in the kitchen with a smile, and the meaning was self-evident.

I don't know what he thought of, but Pei Shao surprisingly didn't refuse. He just nodded with a slightly strange look in his eyes, stood up and walked inside first.

The two of them walked one behind the other until they entered the food preparation area. Pei Shao closed the door and sat opposite Somo.

"Teacher Su, there is no one here. If you have anything to hide, just say it."

"Don't worry, I'm a bad old man, even though I'm not very capable, but I'm pretty good at talking about it. Don't worry, no matter what you said today, I'll pretend I've never heard it!"

Touching his waist, Pei Shao's oily face broke into a smile.

It is not difficult to see that now he has completely assumed the identity of a "kind old man", with almost no flaws visible.

But I know the inside story, when I look at his appearance.

However, Sumo could hardly hold back the laughter in his heart and almost laughed out loud.

After coughing lightly and knowing that there was no surveillance here and no one was eavesdropping, Sumo didn't mince words and spoke straight to the point.

"Master Pei, you know, I have been doing a lot of experiments recently, and the materials have been wasted a lot."

"Some of these things can be purchased by the Zhang family for my use, but other things require certain permissions to purchase."

"For example?" Not understanding what Su Mo meant, Pei Shao's heart sank, but he looked calm.

"For example, level 8 deformed alloy, level 7 rigid alloy, level 6 hard plastic alloy, level 6 variable gears, and level 6 all-alloy tracks."

After talking about more than a dozen different materials in succession, Su Mo muttered while keeping his eyes on Pei Shao's face.

Sure enough, when he heard that none of the materials were lower than Level 6, Pei Shao's expression finally changed slightly and he began to become indifferent.

"Teacher Su, do you know what this level six alloy means?"

"I know, but any scientific research product above Category 3 requires alloys above Level 6 to obtain the maximum material increase, so that it can exert its maximum power."

"No, what I'm talking about is, do you know how many trading points a piece of this sixth-grade alloy costs?" Pei Shao shook his head and watched Su Mo pretending to be dumbfounded, and continued in a deep voice.
