Chapter 53: Mall Express, Unlimited Potential
Facts have proved that even a simple earth wall is an insurmountable chasm for the so-called "horseback nation", and behind this chasm, there are more than a hundred guys holding Henry rifles.
The Henry rifle, which could hold sixteen rounds of ammunition, was definitely the nemesis of the cavalry. Although the .44 Henry rimfire bullet was not very powerful, it was also deadly. Under the dense rain of bullets, the Mapuche people who once roamed the grasslands fell one by one like prey.
Although the Mapuche people were extremely brave and tried their best to rush to the wall, what awaited them was a intensive round of grenades.
Anything produced by Nanhua must be of the highest quality.
The continuous explosions of grenades like raindrops not only blew up the Mapuche people and their horses, but the violent explosions also frightened many horses. The frightened horses simply ignored the reins of the riders on their backs and just ran around on the grassland.
The massive and tidal offensive was thus broken up.
However, this is only the first time.
The next day, the Mapuche appeared outside Nanhua again. The ending was the same...
On the third day, the Mapuche came again.
On the fourth day, he didn’t come.
Ten days later, the Mapuche tried to launch a surprise attack on the Nanhua reclamation area, but were discovered by the checkpoints. Smoke signals were raised and Henry rifles were ready.
…
Nanhua Village on the banks of Nanhua Bay , the moment when Mr. Zhu opens his eyes and returns to reality.
I even couldn't help but clench my fist and shout "Long live!"
So what if the Mapuche have strong military forces?
Not only did the defense of Nanhua not result in any casualties, but the team also repelled their subsequent attacks in succession. Even if they had thousands of troops, they were no match for Nanhua.
He gave himself a full score for this simulation.
It’s already excellent!
Although it was just a simulation, and they were facing the Mapuche people who did not know how to attack a city, in Zhu Xianhai's view, this had fully demonstrated his military command ability.
Within his sight, a light screen that only he could see was flashing.
[This simulation ends.]
[Simulation status: Defense of Nanhua]
[You have practiced the basic military command skill of "Fortification Defense" in the current Sims. Although you have repelled enemy invasions many times with very few casualties, you have not been able to stop the continuous invasion of the Mapuche, resulting in the Mapuche attacking several times in a month . Please note that the purpose of war is not only to defeat the enemy, but more importantly to win a relatively peaceful development space through war.]
[You, in this simulation, have repelled the invasion of the Mapuche many times, but have not been able to prevent their invasion of South China in the future. One hundred tactical victories cannot make up for one strategic failure. The continued conflict with the Mapuche will likely cause South China to fall into a long-term war.]
…
[You are a steady and a qualified three-star battalion commander, but you need to further strengthen your strategic awareness.]
[This simulation ends, no reward, user experience value +50, ...]
…
This... Zhu Xianhai was stunned.
"Shouldn't it be full marks?"
Didn't we successfully repel the invasion of the Mapuche? Last time we were just passively beaten, but this time, they launched more than a dozen waves of attacks - they even fought with us for a month!
"It's really not good!"
Zhu Xianhai's brows suddenly knitted together. Perhaps he had successfully defended Nanhua and repelled the Mapuche invasion, but it was not a good thing to fight to the death with the Mapuche.
"Where did the accident happen?"
Facing the setting sun, Zhu Xianhai's mind was full of questions. Why did he and the Mapuche people end up in a life-and-death situation?
This was not in our plan. We were planning to sacrifice ourselves for our country, to marry the Mapuche people and complete the great cause of peace.
But I haven't gotten my hands on my father-in-law yet, and I don't know what my Indian concubine will look like yet. I have to fight to the death here. This matter... is a bit troublesome!
Although he had no answer in his heart, Zhu Xianhai immediately muttered to himself.
"It's okay, we...we still have our looks to sacrifice!"
The great cause has not yet been accomplished, and we still need to work harder!
The light screen is still cooling.
[Whether the user opens the Life Mall to make a purchase.]
Life Mall?
What the hell is this? Faced with the extra options, I was confused but also curious.
...What could be in here?
Taking a deep breath, he clicked on the "Life Mall".
As the screen flashed, the mall opened and the user attributes appeared on it.
User level: LV1.
Experience value: 3746.
assets:……
He actually has some assets!
We have thousands of pounds of gold as a foundation!
This was the first time that Zhu Xianhai opened the "Life Mall" since traveling through time. The mysterious "mall" gradually revealed its true face.
With eyes wide open, he clicked it with great anticipation.
[100 kilograms of wheat, the price is 1 peso.]
[England 16 count cotton cloth, price…]
What?
What's this?
Zhu Xianhai looked at the mall in confusion. The things sold in the Life Mall were actually the things he could buy in the market.
In addition to various daily consumer goods such as wheat, flour, and cotton cloth, he even had his own "Li Qingsong".
This is simply... For a moment, Mr. Zhu didn't even know how to describe his feelings.
"See if there's anything else."
There are many products in the Life Mall. In addition to daily consumer goods, there are also many farm tools and even agricultural machinery such as harvesters. Of course, that kind of harvester is pulled by horses.
It seemed that the products in the Life Mall were all from the same era. However, the variety of products was far beyond his imagination.
“There are actually weapons!”
[Henry Model 1860 rifle, price: 45 pesos,]
What?
Henry rifle?
Only 45 pesos a pop?
Delivered in three days?
Zhu Xianhai was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed.
Right now, he is worried about the shortage of guns in Nanhua.
Although I can’t say that I have a loss of appetite or difficulty sleeping or eating, I am definitely a little worried.
Originally, when Luke came, he had already brought 1,000 rifles - the most advanced Enfield P1853, each of which was only 15 pesos. He could not afford to lose out by buying them.
Originally he planned to use these guns to arm the Chinese workers, but after learning that he could use the guns to exchange for people from the country, he immediately took out these guns.
Let Li Fugui and his men take the guns back to the country and exchange them for people. Even if they can't exchange them for people, they can buy them at a high price and hire workers.
After all, the rifles are of little use right now.
In fact, he was a little nervous when making this decision.
The "foundation-building project" is at a critical moment. If it is exposed by someone, wouldn't it be a disaster?
As it turned out, the Mapuche people came knocking again.
Hey, we have our looks to sacrifice, but this rhythm seems a bit wrong!
Right now... we can only wait for Buffett to come back.
But now that the mall is open, Zhu Xianhai is naturally excited, and the prices in the mall are fair.
The prices of various commodities are even cheaper than those in Buenos Aires, and are simply direct prices from the place of origin.
From this point of view, the system mall can be said to be fair and honest.
[Do you want to buy?]
When clicking the purchase icon, Zhu Xianhai was even a little excited. There was no other way because Nanhua’s location was too remote.
From a geographical point of view, Nanhua's safety is guaranteed, but on the other hand, purchasing supplies from the outside world is not only extremely inconvenient but also expensive.
Besides, Luke’s shipping fee isn’t cheap!
With the mall as our golden finger, can’t we buy whatever we want?
"purchase!"
Zhu Xianhai pressed the button decisively and entered "1000" in the quantity selection.
The system prompted.
"The purchase limit has been exceeded."
Well……
In an instant, Zhu Xianhai couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Why is there an upper limit? I... have money!"
[Please note that as a primary user, the purchase limit is for personal use only and the quantity unit shall not exceed 5.]
You are stupid now.
But despite this, Zhu Xianhai still talked to himself.
"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. It's better to have it than not! Besides, we can buy a few more. Fortunately, there are enough varieties... Ah! Ju, there is this... Only 5400 pesos! How can it be so cheap!"
Looking at another product in the mall in surprise, Zhu Xianhai couldn't help drooling. This is something interesting!
"purchase!"
Such a cheap and good thing, I must buy it!
After selecting the goods, he was curious about how to pay, and he was even more curious about how the system would deliver the materials he ordered.
It seemed that there was no need to be curious, because he saw the system reminder on the interface "Please select the delivery location", and even a map of Nanhua. Looking at the warehouse at the port, his finger lightly tapped...
