My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely Novel! - Chapter 460

Chapter 460 A Great Haul, Fight For Tomorrow!

The explanation was given in simple terms.

Any minor questions about the wasteland that Su Mo still had were put aside once the conversation reached this point. He stopped asking about the conservative faction and instead brought up a very interesting point.

“Oh right, around the time of the third disaster, I entered some kind of ruins called the ruins of time that brought me back to the first disaster…”

After pondering about it carefully, Su Mo tried his best to describe the ruins of time in as much detail as he could, and then provided his speculations on what that place might be.

Hearing his description, the casual look Jiang Chu’s face morphed into a serious one, which had a touch of cautiousness.

“I can guarantee you that those ruins are something that has never appeared before on the wasteland. It’s impossible to return to the past. If not, we would have used the knowledge we have now to devise a way to obtain authority. Clearly the game has a hidden motive!”

“However, your speculation is probably not far off. About the details, I would need tocommunicate with the talisman!” Jiang Chu knew how important this matter was and could not risk making any mistakes.

Su Mo immediately opened his storage space to take out the talisman.

The talisman’s energy had not yet been replenished, but as Jiang Chu activated it personally, a green light quickly broke out from above to engulf both the talisman and the two people next to it. After a while, the intensity of the light started to diminish and the talisman fell to the floor.

Su Mo picked it up gently and found that more than half of the energy that the talisman had accumulated had been drained.

Su Mo did not feel distressed at this moment. Instead, he quietly sat on the stool and waited for Jiang Chu to process his thoughts and give him an explanation.

“I’ve discussed it with the Old Man! Regarding this matter, if you get another chance to enter, you can try doing things like this…” Jiang Chu hinted at Su Mo to lean in closer to listen, after which he quietly recited a spell and gave Su Mo several methods to test the ruins. “Once you leave this place, don’t act recklessly and alarm the enemy for now. Don’t let the game put its guard up and, if you get the chance to enter again, perhaps you might even get to retrieve authority from the game’s grasp.”

Su Mo nodded as, according to the calculations regarding his own authority, it was easy to conclude the reason behind his massive amount of authority.

After such a long time on the wasteland, the only time that he used the game’s help to achieve an excellent performance was during his journey into the ruins of time.

It was during this time that he used the Mountain and Sea Painting Scroll card to enact an unprecedented change on the wasteland. With that, the game had the chance to accomplish an unsavory acquisition of his authority.

Su Mo was thankful that he had discovered it now and not later.

“Right, Su Mo! Outside of authority, I have a lot of good stuff here for you to take away. Leaving it here would be a waste.”

Jiang Chu’s expression steadied, and he stood up and knocked on the wall a few times. A massive gap opened to reveal a hidden chamber.

He signaled for Su Mo to follow him and both of them, one at the front and one at the back, entered the hidden chamber.

The space inside was quite tiny, measuring about ten cubic meters, and everything it contained could be seen with a single glance. “This rice was an offering made to the gods. As it has not been nourished by divine power for a long time, the quality level has degraded a lot, but if you cultivate it carefully for a long time, you can restore some of its power.” Jiang Chu was only a phantom and could not pick up the bag of seeds but, under his command, a mechanical arm moved to put the bag into Su Mo’s hands.

At the same time, while the arm was picking it up, Su Mo got the system to appraise the rice.

(God’s Blood Rice (Good)]

[Description: Based on the legends, this rice variety was watered and cultivated using God’s blood and possessed incredible power. Anyone who consumed it would receive a substantial enhancement of their bodies’ physique and obtain incredible abilities. However, because it has not been nourished by divine power for too long, the rice’s current level has been downgraded from legendary-quality to good-quality.)

(Special Ability:

Supernatural Strength (Consumption of 100g of rice over seven consecutive days will enhance the strength of humans by 30kg. However, due to its level limitations, the power enhancement is ineffective for humans that possess the strength of 150kg or greater, and any repeated consumption after the initial seven-day consecutive consumption is ineffective.)]

[Restoration method: Blood Irrigation (Collect the blood of different species of living beings to cultivate the mother plant, which can improve the properties of the rice. The stronger the collected living species’ blood, the greater the probability of improvement.)]

(Comment: Let the blood flow! Any blood type is welcome!)

Tsk!

Seeing the rice’s properties, Su Mo still inhaled sharply even though he was not unfamiliar with such barbaric methods.

Although this thing would not drastically improve his body, it was still strong stuff for regular humans!

Once it was consumed consecutively for seven days, they would be rewarded with an increase in power of 30kg.

If someone with 120kg strength consumed it, he would immediately have his strength enhanced to the limit, possessing a supernatural strength of 300 pounds. For those weak survivors, it would transform their bodies’ physique to that of strong warriors and liberate them from their previous frailty in one fell swoop!

Plus, this thing could be gradually restored to its previous level and would possess even more abilities. It was an excellent find!

Jiang Chu really was a veteran God; even his private collection was terrifying!

“Haha! Looks like you’re satisfied with this thing. Not bad, I, Jiang Chu, still have the ability to impress the likes of you!”

Seeing Su Mo carefully hold the bag of seeds and place it in his storage space with such a cautious expression, Jiang Chu broke out into laughter and moved on to the second item.

“The first item was for you to develop the power of your subordinates, but this second item is specifically meant for you. See for yourself!” Jiang Chu said mysteriously while commanding the mechanical arm to pick something up.

Standing in midair, Jiang Chu started to chant loudly. After a while, the outer fragments covering this item started to crumble, which eventually took the form of a card shining with divine light.

(Cosmic Humans’ Meditation Training Method (No rating)]

nans.

[Description: This is a card imbued with the meditation training method of cosmic humans After using it, the user will automatically receive the complete training method.]

[Special Abilities]:

Meditation (When meditating, mind power recovery speed is increased by 50%)

Comprehension (When meditating, there is a certain probability of gaining new understandings regarding complicated problems and seeing things from a different point of view)

Recovery (In the process of meditation training, the user’s physical recovery speed will increase noticeably. The speed fluctuates based on the stored energy within the user; 10%-60%)

Growth (Long-term meditation training would result in slight enhancements in terms of mental capacity, allowing the user to think more deeply and clearly when faced with problems.)

[Comment: Calm down and you will see things more clearly!)

“As long as you practice this every day, even though we won’t get the physique levels of the foreign races, our brains will still be enhanced.”

“To a certain extent, it can even help us overcome our limitations of our IQs. A lot of scientific researchers from back then used this breathing technique and ended up creating all sorts of weird devices.”

“It’s just a shame that this training method can only be passed on through guided transfer using the card’s power. If it was taught using words, humans with insufficient IQ would find it hard to understand and fully implement!”

Jiang Chu’s remaining items were really interesting. These items could not explosively enhance one’s power, nor would they disrupt the flow of things too greatly due to rapid development.

He had fully captured the essence of “limited assistance” within the scope of the bet’s agreement.

These items would not affect the acquisition of authority later on no matter how willfully Su Mo used them. It could be said to be wonderful!

“Thanks, Brother Jiang!”

Jiang Chu waved his hand and let out a quiet laugh.” Thank you, haha! Su Mo, I also have selfish motives. My god phantom can still survive for fifty more years in this palace. If… If you succeed then, at that time, you must remember Brother!”

Those who could become gods in that era would be the cream of the crop!

From Su Mo’s point of view, these were Jiang Chu’s unconditional gifts but, for Jiang Chu, this was a huge investment.

Since he gave up the authority he possessed, he was dead set on acting like the good guy until the end, forking out everything he had saved in one go to raise the stakes.

If this investment was successful, Su Mo would one day become the owner of the “incubator” and, given his position as an “investor’, he would be revered as a founding hero. “Rest assured, Brother Jiang! If I really succeed one day, I definitely won’t forget about you then!” Su Mo nodded, indicating that he understood what Jiang Chu meant, and solemnly made Jiang Chu a promise.

“That’s enough, that’s enough. Hey, you’re the chosen one. I believe in you!” “For this last item, don’t use it if you don’t have to,” Jiang Chu softly spoke as he walked to the rear and signaled for the mechanical arm to pick up a final item. “Back then, when I was still God of the Ocean, I paid a huge price to leave an oracle behind.”

“This oracle is rather simple. Its general effect is to freeze all ocean water for about a month. The ocean water will remain frozen unless the game itself decides to intervene using its abilities.”

“This thing has both pros and cons. I prepared it back in the day as a last-ditch resort. However, I didn’t think that, once I placed it here, so many years have passed and I’d still have yet to use it. I now pass this oracle to you. You can use it to solve troublesome situations or to settle any critical emergencies!”

It was a simple yellow paper that looked ordinary

Once Su Mo heard what Jiang Chu had to say, he scanned the item using his eyes and verified that it really had such powers via the system. He felt startled and stored it away immediately.

This thing might have many limitations, but its ability was no less powerful than a one-time usage of authority. What was even better was that Su Mo did not have to pay a price to use it, and would not have to worry about being tracked down by the game.

When push came to shove, it definitely had the power to turn the tides!

On the other side, Jiang Chu had finished explaining and had given all that he had to give, lifting a huge burden from his heart.

He looked as if he had been freed from his obsession. His face looked a little less lost and had more of a gracious smile on it.

They both headed back out of the room and conversed amidst the lukewarm food.

Jiang Chu had thousands of years of experience to share, while Su Mo had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. It began from his earliest experiences on the wasteland, and went on to cover territorial development, the incessant development of technology, and finally the conflicts with the foreign races.

Jiang Chu hid nothing from him, and Su Mo crazily absorbed the information like a sponge.

They talked until their tongues ran dry, and it was not until he glanced at his watch that Su Mo suddenly realized that time had flown by; he had been there for seven hours!

“Hahaha, it’s been a really long time since I talked in such a carefree manner. Okay, that’s enough. It’s not early anymore, so you should go back up before the game finds you.” “There are no problems given your abilities, but there is one thing that Brother has to remind you about.”

“The only reason why we humans could get away with betting against the game was not due to one person’s individual strength. Since we chose this path to struggle against the game, we were destined to consolidate our forces as much as possible into one location to bring about a qualitative change.”

“When you face difficulties, you should remember that there are still us old bones around, as well as the humans!”

Su Mo nodded. “I got it. Rest assured!”

Jiang Chu stood up vigorously, lifting his fist. “Good! It’s a promise!”

“It’s a promise!”

One human and one phantom bumped fists without any actual physical interaction. Once they saw their fists “touching”, both men could not help but laugh out loud.

“I’ll be leaving then?”

“Okay! I’ll see you off!” Even though both parties knew this farewell might be their last, it still took place just as it would have on any other normal day. The only thing different was that Su Mo walked in front, while Jiang Chu followed from behind. Once he exited the corridor and entered the inner area of the hall, Su Mo waved toward the void, and the protective suit materialized out of thin air, which he then began to put on.

After he had put on the suit, the only part of the body that could be seen from the outside was Su Mo’s face, covered by the helmet’s visor glass..

“I am the Commander of the Blade Mobile Corps from the Human Empire of Taihang Universe No. 29, Jiang Chu!”

Clap!

Inside the hall, Jiang Chu stood upright and ceremoniously performed a military salute!

His eyesight was shining like flames.

“I am the Honorary President of the Alliance of Humanity’s Future from the Human Empire of the Earth Universe, Su Mo!”

Su Mo also performed a military salute!

“Fight for tomorrow, fight for the human race!”

“Fight for tomorrow, fight for the human race!”
