Shen Jin had already deduced a few things from the previous two pages of the [Crystal Core Shop].
There were potions to awaken Tier 1 abilities and potions to advance to Tier 2.
Then there had to be a potion for advancing to a Tier 3 Superhuman!
Right, and a potion to enhance Tier 3 Superhumans, too. That was another old tradition of the [Crystal Core Shop].
What he needed now was to enhance his special ability.
[Advanced Special Ability Enhancement Potion] [Enhances your special ability upon use, with a chance of upgrading it (requires prior consumption of the ordinary 'Special Ability Enhancement Potion' and 'Intermediate Special Ability Enhancement Potion')] [Exchange cost: 1 'Tier 3 Energy Crystal Core', 10 'Tier 2 Energy Crystal Cores', 10 'Lapotron Crystals']
"That really costs a lot."
Even after clearing two third-tier cities and obtaining most of their assets and energy crystal cores, exchanging for one bottle still hurt.
[Lapotron Crystals] required large quantities of [Diamonds]. Although Sun Li had brought Shen Jin hundreds of tons of diamonds, the advanced industrial machines devoured them. At this rate, even that supply would not last very long.
"Luckily, with the [Molecular Transformer], I can spend 900,000 kilowatt-hours to turn [Coal] directly into [Diamonds]. That's acceptable."
At least Shen Jin no longer had to carry an [Advanced Mining Machine] around the world looking for diamond mines. He could be self-sufficient at home.
"Ah~ Just thinking about it feels good. It's the apocalypse~ Staying home is the safest bet. Going out to fight all the time... I'm so tired of fighting."
Shen Jin missed those first three carefree months.
Although [Lapotron Crystals] consumed plenty of materials, they posed no technical difficulty.
[Tier 2 Energy Crystal Cores] and [Tier 3 Energy Crystal Cores] were the truly scarce resources!
