Golden Airdrop! Material Conversion!
"Wow, Master, look! Something has fallen down there!"
Moore, who was still half asleep, stared wide-eyed when he saw the airdrop gradually descending in the distance.
In the Thunder Bear tribe's understanding, everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, or swims in the water is food! Upon seeing food, Moore's eyes lit up. While looking up to observe the airdrop's landing point, he strode forward, wanting to grab the airdrop crate before it arrived!
Seeing Moore's state and the airdrop that was about to float down, Su Mo quickly followed and walked out.
Last time, I found an excavator in a regular airdrop crate, and it proved very useful in this Welfare Disaster.
With the Pointing Needle he used to find his sister, Su Mo was already filled with anticipation for the upcoming Gold Rank airdrop.
"I hope you can send me some tools to help me get through this flood disaster, please don't send me any daily necessities!"
Watching Moore leap high into the air, grab the airdrop crate before it even landed, and land on the ground in high spirits, Su Mo couldn't help but laugh too, and patted Moore on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, this is relief supplies for us; there's no good food in it."
Seeing Moore's pout when he heard there was no food in the box, Su Mo laughed and took the airdrop box from Moore's hands.
The appearance of the airdrop crate has not changed much; it still features a large No.1 print, except this time the print is a luxurious gold color, making it look exceptionally opulent.
The box itself has gained some weight; it's no longer a flimsy cardboard box, but rather made of a material that feels like hard plastic, and is incredibly smooth to the touch.
Clutching the box and feeling uneasy, Su Mo slowly made his way back to the shelter, climbing two flights of stairs to reach his workbench.
Without rushing to open the box, after confirming that the box was placed properly, Su Mo went to the stove and started a fire to boil water.
In various fantasy novels on Earth, one must burn incense and take a bath before opening the airdrop crate! Although he knew it was metaphysics, now that the Underground Shelter had the means, Su Mo prepared a proper procedure to avoid bringing the bad luck from too many everyday items into the airdrop crate.
With the Lion Man's Wind, the water was boiling very efficiently, and in no time, a whole bucket of hot water was ready.
After thinking for a moment, Su Mo added some older Psionic Water to neutralize the water temperature.
"Good heavens, I really went all out for this bath. I hope the mystical forces will bless me and grant me some good luck!"
Soaking in a tub of boiling hot water, feeling the warmth all over his body and the lingering heaviness fading away, and reciting the Daoist "opening the box" incantation, Su Mo's restless heart gradually calmed down.
After soaking for about half an hour, until his whole body began to feel comfortable, Su Mo jumped out of the tub, dried himself off, changed into a set of cool short-sleeved shirts and shorts that he had traded for, and sat down at the workbench.
"The rewards for this disaster are essentially a prepayment for the next one!"
"Including airdrop rewards and Trading Realm, if my guess is correct, there shouldn't be any more until the flood disaster is over!"
"So, this should be the last airdrop crate I can get in the next six months."
These are all speculations derived from known conditions. Judging from the patterns of the relic's appearance, there is a very high probability that there will be no airdrop or traded relic next time.
Therefore, what you get from this airdrop crate will be extremely important.
"Having received so much useless stuff, it's time to change my luck."
"Gold airdrop! Begin!"
With his hand on the latch of the airdrop crate, Su Mo exerted a little force with his wrist, and the latch was pulled out, and a pale golden light began to slowly dissipate.
Large swaths of golden No. 1 prints began to float up from the paper, suspended in the air, creating a truly magical effect.
Gently placing his right hand on the side of the box, he slowly pushed it open. Before Su Mo could react, the three items slowly floated up from inside and drifted into the air.
Last time it was card pouches and finger needles, this time there have been some changes after the airdrop crate level was upgraded.
The first of the three items was a strangely shaped horn with spiral patterns that radiated outwards from the center.
The second item was a close-fitting bra that looked extremely smooth; it was unclear what material it was made of.
As for the third item, it was a small square that seemed familiar yet completely unfamiliar.
With a gentle reach, Su Mo touched the light enveloping the items, and with a whoosh, the three items lost their buoyancy and fell onto the table.
Sweep the box aside, pick up the first threaded horn, focus your attention, and as a point is deducted, the game's appraisal light flashes, and the attribute panel pops up.
[Sea Wave Horn (Rare)]
[Description]: For some unknown reason, this horn has gained the ability to control the Ocean Power to a certain extent, and has also gained some authority over the Ocean God. By using this horn infused with the Ocean Divine Power, one can possess the power of the Ocean God within a certain range and for a certain period of time.
[Special Ability ①]: Water Affinity (The holder of the horn can choose to activate it upon encountering water. After activation, they will have the special ability to ignore water pressure below 100 meters and to breathe underwater. The duration of each activation is up to five minutes, and the cooldown time is 24 hours.)
[Special Ability ②]: Ocean God Authority (The wielder of the horn has the ability to manipulate water waves to a limited extent. The number of times the horn can be manipulated is fixed once a day, with a cooldown time of 24 hours. The extent of manipulation per instance can be adjusted based on the Disaster Points infused into the horn.)
[Special Ability ③]: Water's Favor (Passive skill: If the holder of the horn falls into the water, there is a very small chance that he will be favored by marine creatures.) Compared to the rough appraisal by the system, the Game Panel, although it requires a little points, has extremely complete item attributes.
"As expected, the game's airdrop crates do take into account the next disaster to some extent!"
All three special abilities—two active and one passive—are related to water.
Trying to put the horn behind his neck, Su Mo silently chanted in his mind. In an instant, the horn flashed with a brilliant light, and at the same time, a long, mournful sound rang in his ears.
Buzz.
Blue ripples burst forth from the horn, entered Su Mo's body, and then spread outwards like shockwaves.
The only place with water on the third floor of the shelter was a bathtub that was only half full.
Under Su Mo's influence, the water in the bucket seemed to be summoned by something, and with a whoosh, a shockwave hit the bucket wall.
While maneuvering the bucket, Su Mo walked closer and began to carefully observe the undulations and changes in the water's surface.
This ability to manipulate water is incredibly magical. With just a thought, Su Mo can instantly create a wave on the calm surface of the water, which crashes against the barrel wall. Then, with another thought, the water can immediately calm down and return to tranquility.
"If I'm not mistaken, the horn must be a medium that releases a repulsive and attractive force that only water can feel!"
When faced with the unknown, Su Mo was adept at analyzing problems from a scientific perspective.
This power, which seemed like a miracle or magic to the ancients, still has traces within the modern knowledge system.
Just like an MRI machine, radio frequency pulses are used to excite hydrogen nuclei in the human body, causing the hydrogen nuclei to resonate and absorb energy. After the radio frequency pulses stop, the hydrogen nuclei emit radio signals at a specific frequency and release the absorbed energy.
The principle of the horn should be the same, except that the terminal is some kind of energy in the water that humans have not yet observed.
"While the principle behind the horn can be guessed, its energy is a complete mystery!"
After looking around the horn and confirming that he could not find any device that could provide power, Su Mo had no choice but to give up.
If the principle behind the release can be analyzed and simulated, it would mean that everyone in the wasteland could use this amazing ability.
At that time, it was as if humans possessed a "natural magic," giving them a certain degree of control in the water.
Fantasy is rich, but reality is harsh.
Shaking his head, putting aside this grand vision for the future of humanity for the time being, Su Mo returned to his workbench after putting the horn back into his Storage Space and began to examine the remaining two items.
The second gray-black underwear, like a vest, radiated a jade-like glow, with a faint shimmering light emanating from it.
After spending a few more points, the attributes of the underwear appeared.
[Constant Temperature Underwear (Premium Quality)]
[Description]: Underwear made of [material name missing], with temperature-regulating and protective properties.
[Special Ability ①]: Shape Change (While wearing the underwear, a certain amount of Disaster Points can be spent to change its shape. The cost of changing it increases with each change; the first change is free.) [Special Ability ②]: Temperature Control (When the air temperature is between -10 degrees Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius, the temperature felt by the player wearing the underwear will be kept constant at 22 degrees Celsius.) [Special Ability ③]: Immortality (When the underwear is damaged, as long as its integrity is above 30%, it will continuously self-repair. The recovery time varies depending on the degree of damage.)
[Restriction 1]: Underwear must be worn close to the skin to be effective. [Restriction 2]: Once worn, the underwear will automatically bind to the player and cannot be gifted, transferred, or traded unless the player dies.
"Hmm, this underwear is practical, but with my current strength, it's a bit of a waste."
After fiddling with the underwear for a couple of moments, Su Mo simply took off her top clothes and pulled the underwear over her head.
The loose underwear began to slowly contract the moment it touched the body, and its shape gradually changed with a thought from Su Mo.
It's still roughly the same as a vest, but after some minor modifications to the corners, it becomes more form-fitting, and with the addition of underwear material, it's almost like you're not wearing anything at all.
After feeling the temperature change brought about by the underwear for a while, I picked up the last small box and used my points again.
Compared to the two other items, which were clearly magical objects, the small square box was inconspicuous, black in color, and looked like a Rubik's Cube.
However, after the initial attributes of the box appeared, Su Mo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise the next second.
"Holy crap!"
"It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to you effortlessly!"
With a thought, a design drawing that had been stored in the Storage Space for "years" appeared in Su Mo's hand.
As the design drawing and the small box drew closer, a dazzling light flashed, the design drawing disappeared, and the device in hand began to rapidly transform, gradually turning into a large box that occupied 1 meter of space.
Then, the large box also began to deform, with some parts sinking in and others bulging out.
The change didn't take long; about a minute later, the entire process was complete, and a new attribute panel popped up.
Civilian Type II - All- Material Conversion Engine (Rare)
