Chapter 480 Heritage, Twelve Naturally Produced Cards!
The voting rules of the game were not set with only perfect logic in mind.
Within its internal conditions for execution, the game had fully considered the differences between the New World and the Deep Sea, the possible different ideas and thoughts humans might have, as well as the possible changes that might take place as the voting progressed.
In summary, the game had provided three different disaster options this time
However, it was hard to fathom a person’s mind.
In a complicated doomsday situation like this, humans themselves would not know what decision they would make in the next second. As such, the game had wanted to rely on data and statistics to predict the possibilities!
Rainstorm (1.39%)
Heavy Blizzard (94.26%)
Extreme Cold (4.35%)
In 38 seconds, after the voting heavy blizzard disaster surpa.s.sed 50%, the data became skewed.
At six-thirty, 15 minutes after it commenced, the voting came to a close.
“This is unbelievable, more than 90% of humans chose the heavy blizzard disaster. This… this is…”
In Hope One’s conference room, as they looked at the vote tally, the words “Heavy Blizzard” floated up.
Chen Kai, who had been the first to provide a prediction, had a face full of shock.
His voice fell silent after uttering those words, and it seemed to bring the others back to their senses, and a lively discussion suddenly broke out.
Wu Feiguang: I’m afraid that even the game didn’t expect that humans would choose the heavy blizzard disaster. Honestly, when we were discussing it previously, we didn’t actually put ourselves in the shoes of our comrades on the Deep Ocean.
From the beginning till the end, we were only observers that thought about our personal pros and cons and decided the future based on our own preferences for development. Now that I think about it, if I was a human living on the Deep Ocean, I’m afraid that my first thought would also be regarding how us humans could keep going until the day comes when everyone will be led out of this place of misery!
Qi Qin: If it is a heavy blizzard, then it should be easy to manage. We have enough time to excavate the terrain before the heavy blizzard and use the natural terrain to design and create a drainage system and shelter structures!
Zhang Long: Not only that, a heavy blizzard will provide us with an abundant source of clean water. As long as we can find a way to collect a large amount of snow water, then our clean water supply for the next three months will be sufficient for everyone to use, and we won’t have to worry about the problem of water supply!
Shen Ke: The blizzard’s temperature is 15 degrees below zero. Although this temperature is not ideal for us to build concrete housing, with the aid of the snow, we can build some igloos which can save us a lot of time and trouble. We can use this time to quickly build and develop the infrastructure of the territory. Once the heavy blizzard pa.s.ses, we can take our time to figure out the issue of housing.”
The discussion continued.
After learning that it would be a heavy blizzard, the pressure in everyone’s hearts remained the same, but there were more smiles on their faces as compared to if it had been one of the other two disasters.
Even though the blizzard would go on for 7 days at -15 degrees, there would be no problems in continuing their daily activities as long as they wore a thicker layer of clothes.
Most importantly, the abundance of fresh water brought by the snowfall would replenish Hope Village’s supply after the recent relocation.
Between the pros and cons, even though the disaster was still terrifying, it was actually an opportunity for the territory’s development!
Su Mo’s thoughts began to drift as he sat at the head of the table, listening to the chatter and discussion after ensuring that there would not be any changes to the selected disaster.
Everyone on board, including the crew and Su Deben, made different conjectures.
Their conjectures were based on their information about the supplies they had on hand. Previously, they had thought that the resources on the s.h.i.+p were running low but, in reality, Su Mo still had a lot of resources stocked up!
When he fought with 20000 foreign races and successfully won using the Annihilator, he received a number of different rewards…
Level 1 random resource generation card *2
Level 1 resource modification card *1
Second-level random resource generation card *1
From the G.o.d of the Ocean’s t.i.tle promotion ruins, he perfectly pa.s.sed the trial with flying colors and, through his interaction with the Fertile Soil Era G.o.d of the Ocean, he obtained the permission to activate the console, receiving the reward of…
Four-star random resource generation card *1
By sailing thousands of miles and eliminating all the foreign races in the Tundra fleet’s vicinity, and following up by killing hundreds of thousands of the foreign races after that, he received the rewards of…
Level 1 random resource generation card *6
Level 2 random resource generation card *2
Level 3 resource modification card (quality) *1
Level 3 resource modification card (special ability) *1
After negotiating with the game and fighting for the most generous reward, he received his most precious card…
Level 5 terrain modification card!
Among these cards, there were 12 cards that could generate resources.
This meant that even if the basin area was dirt poor, Su Mo could still use all of the cards immediately to increase the number of resources held by the territory 12 times, which would increase its potential for development.
Additionally, if he had good luck and unlocked a few of the more practical resources, then it went without saying that, in the fight against the foreign races and disasters, the basin area would be able to take a giant leap forward and gain an unprecedented advantage!
“Shelter Leader, Shelter Leader, do you want to say a few words?”
While they conversed, Su Mo had been sorting out his stockpile of resources, and had not noted that the smile on his face had become increasingly wide.
The change on his face could be clearly seen by the people who had been enthusiastically discussing the situation in the conference room.
Learning from their previous lesson, this time everyone immediately stopped and listened closely.
Even Su Deben, who had tilted his head to listen to their conversation, had excitedly turned his head to look at Su Mo.
“Aha, you all should keep talking. I don’t have anything to say.”
“In a nutsh.e.l.l though, all you need to know is that the situation is not as dire as you think.”
“In my hands… um, how should I say this… there are still a lot of good things that can help us get through the most difficult days during the early stages!”
Su Mo was nice enough to share the joy of possessing the cards.
However, taking into consideration that these things’ effects were somewhat random, it was very likely that he would be affected by a stroke of bad luck and obtain twelve “garbage” resources that could not be used temporarily.

Su Mo resisted the urge to share further as he smiled and stood up.
“Alright, the meeting is adjourned. Regarding this disaster, everyone here has to submit a plan to me. There’s no requirement for the level of detail as I just want to see the results of your brainstorming.”
“Don’t be tied down by the past or any old traditions that might limit your thinking or mindset. Don’t be afraid of new ideas, just be afraid of not coming up with new ideas!”
“Submit the plan to me by tomorrow. I’ll need to review and compile your ideas!”
The crowd stood up and said in unison, “Understood!”
On the wasteland, efficiency was key.
Everyone would come quickly, but leave even quicker.
Everyone understood when they saw Su Mo’s gesture for them to leave, and immediately filed out of the conference room’s door.
As soon as they left the conference room, everyone began to chatter and discuss once again.
When he heard their voices, Su Mo nodded slightly as he sat down; his face full of satisfaction.
As a decision-maker, his main responsibility was to formulate the overall plan, advance in that direction and take control of the overall development of the territory.
However, he needed these “cogs” to complete the integration of resources and segmentation of the tasks.
Their shared goals could only be achieved by combining everyone’s efforts in one place.
“Su Mo, did you tamper with the votes… um, did you plan for this to happen?”
His previous words could fool the people earlier, but not Su Deben.
Su Mo kept a straight face even though he was exposed, so he nodded right away. “It took a bit of preparation, but I didn’t expect it to have such an effect. It exceeded my expectations.”
Before the game’s version update, and before the World Channel had been completely shut down, as the president of the Alliance of Humanity’s Future, he had been invited to partic.i.p.ate in their final joint meeting.
In this group video call, the focus of everyone’s attention was not on the previous conflicts of interests. Instead, it was focused on the future development route of humankind on the wasteland, and…
The influence of the voting system for disasters!
The former was related to the survival of humankind as a whole, while the latter had an important relations.h.i.+p with whether humans could successfully adapt to the situation in the New World.
As the president, Su Mo did not say much during the first section of the discussion.
However, during the second section, he stood up.
“I need you to use your resources and channels as much as possible to ensure the success of my development in the New World. The disaster’s choice is to strictly follow…”
Su Mo did not hold back in the slightest as what he said was expected.
The others nodded immediately, which indicated that they could accede to this request and provide their support from the home front.
This was the privilege of the president and the right that belonged to Almighty Su.
However, that was about it. Even in his official capacity, he could at most mobilize around 30% of the population to cast their vote in a certain way.
It was impossible to influence 90% of the population to choose the same option.
However, a situation like this could be created because of…
Their belief in Almighty Su!
“By the way Su Mo, you mentioned that you still have a few good things up your sleeve. I don’t know if that refers to…”
The Heavy Blizzard…
It was a relatively straightforward disaster that did not involve too much technical know-how to prepare for.
With the resources stockpiled by Hope Village, it would not be difficult to survive this disaster.
It was even possible to use this disaster period to prepare materials and the foundation for future bases.
The thing that was difficult to imagine was that, on the 14th day after the heavy blizzard disaster ended, the second disaster would strike.
At this point in time, regardless of whether it was the rainstorm or extreme cold disaster that followed, it would still cause a chain reaction due to the heavy blizzard disaster and lead to greater harm and loss of life.
When that time came, if the entire territory did not complete their preparations and defensive measures to withstand the disaster, whether it was houses that were insulated against the severe cold or heating facilities, then it was possible that the territory would suffer countless casualties!
“Oh, this good thing…”
Su Mo raised his brows, “Uncle Su, are you sure you want to know in advance?”
Su Deben was startled, “Ah? Could it be that there’s something that can’t be said about this?”
Su Mo shook his head, “No, Uncle Su, come closer and I’ll tell you the principles so you’ll understand!”
Su Mo called Su Deben closer.
Su Mo leaned in close to the robot’s receiver and spoke slowly in a low voice.
Starting from when he used the first random resource card, to the creation of Iron Rock Mountain, to the underground geothermal resource…
Su Mo explained the resource cards in detail.
As a listener, Su Deben’s expression changed from eagerness to shock, and finally to understanding “Truth be told, our development is inseparable from magical things, but we also can’t rely on them too much as it may lead to us losing sight of our foundation and plans.”
“However, since the disasters have been settled, shouldn’t our plan be developed too?”
Su Mo stood up and took a deep breath. “That’s what I want!”
