Chapter 484 Upgrade, Hidden Rewards

Old Li has decided to take these two pieces of meat, and no one can stop him.

In this way, Gao Zhendong doesn't have to work hard, as Lao Li will fully support the matter and get it done beautifully.

This is a conspiracy that everyone is happy with. The reason why conspiracy is easy to succeed is that it is grand and irresistible. Of course, some conspiracy may not be happy with everyone, but at least we are happy, such as "On Protracted War".

"Comrade He Yuzhu, Chief Engineer Gao of the Third Branch Factory directly named you as the leader, which shows that he highly recognizes your professional ability. You must do your best to do this well."

Although Sha Zhu has a carefree personality, he couldn't say anything nonsense like "Just wait, I'll stretch out my hand" at this time.

"Deputy Director Li, don't worry, I will definitely get this done."

Old Li looked at the report and saw that apart from himself at the helm, Sha Zhu in charge, and some key personnel from the technical department of the Third Factory, the rest of the personnel list was blank. He knew what Gao Zhendong meant and said with a smile, "The Third Factory has given such strong support. As the main logistics system, we can't be stingy. Wait a moment."

He called the logistics director and the canteen director and explained what happened.

"This is a major event for our logistics system. What is science? This is also science! This is the science of the masses! From food, clothing, housing and transportation, everything has its own technology and knowledge. But usually, these sciences that are closely related to us are submerged in our usual thinking. We are sitting on a treasure mountain without knowing it."

Logistics Director, Canteen Director: You are right.

"We have to thank Chief Engineer Gao from the Third Factory for his keen discovery of the scientific value of our logistics, which enables people to have a hot meal at any time and live a warm life. This is the science of our logistics system and the goal we are striving for!"

Gao Zhendong: Actually, I don’t think about it that much.

The fact that Lao Li has gotten to that point in life shows that his abilities are not exaggerated. He may not be able to come up with a new theory, and no one else can or dares to do so.

However, it is easy to fit the theory according to the phenomenon.

He talked for a long time, and the logistics director and the canteen director nodded for a long time.

Finally, Deputy Factory Director Li made the final decision: "This matter will be handled by our canteen chef, Comrade He Yuzhu. You must cooperate well. You can raise any suggestions or ideas you have with him, but you cannot forcibly interfere or disrupt his work."

When the two directors heard this, they understood that if they wanted to make any demands on this matter, they had to get through Master He first.

They both smiled happily, this was an easy task.

As long as you are sincere and don't try to do anything weird, communicating with your direct subordinates will be much easier than anything else.

Ignoring the advice of Chief Engineer Gao of the Third Branch Factory, choosing a new chef and starting a new business? No fool would do that.

Putting aside the issue of completely offending Chief Engineer Gao and whether or not they could get the heating agent, the key issue, which was neither big nor small, was still in the hands of the Technical Department of the Third Branch Factory. They could circumvent it if they wanted to, but the cost would be too high - a cost in all aspects.

This was also a hook that Gao Zhendong left intentionally, not because he liked intrigue, but there is a saying that goes, "Unity survives if it is sought through struggle, and it dies if it is sought through compromise."

As for the relationship between Sha Zhu and Gao Zhendong, everyone from the canteen director to the logistics director knew it. When entertaining guests, he always specifically asked for Master He. This bus might have been arranged by the Third Factory specifically for Sha Zhu, and all of them were just taking it.

They're not stupid. They're kicking the cook out before the feast begins.

In Deputy Director Li's office, there was laughter and bold words flying everywhere.
-
On the evening of December 1960, 12, at Gao Zhendong’s home.

Lou Xiao'e had already rested, while Gao Zhendong was sitting in the south room, resting with his eyes closed. He was waiting.

What are you waiting for? Of course, you are waiting to see if the system will be upgraded again on New Year's Day this year.

Last year's upgrade was very powerful, especially the relaxation of travel restrictions and the ability to search for information. The former reduced his worries, and the latter allowed him to go from taking chances to being able to carry out precise strikes. Although the cost was relatively high, the improvement in efficiency was significant.

As time approached 1961:1 on January 1, 0, Gao Zhendong even became a little restless.

In fact, whether the system is upgraded or not has little to do with his personal interests. The current hack is already big enough to fully satisfy his personal interests and even exceed them.

But from a larger perspective, Gao Zhendong is greedy. He wants more. This country and this era need more.

Sure enough, at 0:, the system that had been pretending to be dead all year round moved.

"Year-end summary, upgrade completed."

"The host directly intervenes and changes the life trajectories of the characters in the courtyard within the framework of public order and good customs."

"Xu Damao, the main character, has been completely changed and will no longer be included in the upgrade settlement in the future."

"Lou Xiao'e, the main tasks have been completely changed and will no longer be included in the upgrade settlement in the future."

"Qin Huairu, the main character, has been significantly changed."

"Liang Zhong, the main characters, changed drastically."

"Yi Zhonghai, the main character, has undergone minor changes." Xu Damao's change was indeed quite thorough. There's no need to make a list. Just think about his current state and you'll know how thorough it is.

There is no need to say anything about Lou Xiao'e. If this is not thorough, what else can be thorough? In Gao Zhendong's view, the most important change is not in the course of life, but in the change of Lou Xiao'e's thinking.

As for the remaining few people, everything else is easy to deal with except Yi Zhonghai's "small change". In fact, there is nothing much to change in Yi Zhonghai's life. Maybe it's because he has a goddaughter to take care of him in his old age?
Sha Zhu is not on the list, probably because the two projects he is working on have not yet produced any results, but we will probably see them next year.

"Comprehensive settlement, 10 additional draws, and upgrades as follows:"

"The host's anchoring to this world is accelerating."

"Accumulate 3 lucky draw opportunities to exchange for 1 search opportunity."

"The duration that the host can temporarily leave the courtyard has been increased from 30 days to 60 days."

Gao Zhendong doesn’t know what the specific criteria for judging and upgrading are. It seems that there have been many and significant changes in people and things, but the upgrade of panel data does not seem to have changed much.

It is estimated that most of the "experience points" were used to speed up and deepen the anchoring. The system did not explain it explicitly, but the upgrade result still made him very satisfied.

It is equivalent to giving three search opportunities, and the price is permanently reduced. The time to leave the courtyard is also greatly relaxed.

It seems that the deeper the anchoring in the world, the longer the time you can spend away from the courtyard.

But what surprised him was that people whose fates had been completely changed would no longer be included in the settlement. Come to think of it, if one's fate had been completely changed, there would be no original life trajectory as a reference, and there would be no way to make comparisons and settlements.

Well, this is reasonable. The only thing that makes him unhappy is that there is one less person who can take advantage of the situation. But reducing these two still makes him very satisfied.

This means that it will be difficult for Xu Damao to turn things around. The system verifies that it is “complete”! However, it does not matter whether he can turn things around or not. He will continue to be beaten to death.

This also means that there is no need to worry about Lou Xiao'e's background.

Seeing this, Gao Zhendong laughed.

Unexpectedly, upon closer inspection, there was actually a page-turning button on the system upgrade instructions interface.

What else? This thing wasn't there last year.

Gao Zhendong pressed the page-turning button in his mind, and the new page had a lot of content.

"The host's active behavior directly changed the life and death of the hidden characters in this world, and obtained hidden rewards."

Below this entry are 10 names densely packed together, and the explanations following them are the same.

"Reborn from the dead."

Gao Zhendong recalled these ten people for a long time, but he didn't recognize any of them. However, this number seemed coincidental, as if Gao Zhendong had seen it somewhere before.

10 people, reborn from the dead...

Gao Zhendong thought and thought, and felt like he was about to grow a brain, but it just didn't grow.

Unable to figure it out for the moment, he had to put it aside for the time being and turn his attention to the hidden reward.

"Hidden reward: The host can spend 30 days of material extraction quota to solidify the extractable status of any item in the system store."

What the hell does this mean? Gao Zhendong thought for a while, no way, no way? Is this dog system so considerate?
He hurriedly opened the system store, and there was an additional small button under all the items - "Solidify".

Hahahaha! Not caring that Lou Xiaoe had already rested, Gao Zhendong burst into laughter.

Thanks to his high salary, high royalties, and even higher total wealth from his wife's family, it is not a simple matter of withdrawing his share of the accumulated materials in a day or two, because it is not worth it.

Not to mention just one, even if it’s several, he can afford to solidify them.

Without any hesitation, he turned to the thing he wanted to retrieve last time but didn't dare to retrieve for the time being, and pressed the solidification button hard in his mind.

Sure enough, on the interface, this thing has an additional status - "permanently extractable".

Gao Zhendong was completely relieved. He didn't have to worry this time. In the previous system store, the things that could be withdrawn would disappear, so Gao Zhendong hoped that the above thing could not be sold.

This hidden reward can not only solidify things that you dare not extract temporarily due to technical conditions, but also solidify some uncommon but valuable unique items that have repeated extraction value, making a fortune!
The noise of his dancing woke up Lou Xiao'e, who raised her head from under the quilt, sleepily saying, "Zhendong, what are you doing in the middle of the night? Are you okay?"

Gao Zhendong smiled and replied to Lou Xiaoe: "It's okay, it's okay. I just solved a big problem. I'm happy! The quarrel in the middle of the night..."

At this point, a light bulb went off in Gao Zhendong's head, and he seemed to have guessed who these hidden characters were.
