Psionic Water! Upgrade!
"What the talisman predicted was actually true!"
"Does that mean, given my personality, I'll leave all these trees behind after I see their attributes?"
Having clearly seen the properties of the Source Energy Fruit Tree, Su Mo was not immediately overjoyed. Instead, he felt a sense of unease, as if his inner thoughts had been seen through.
Future, past, present.
The Timeline is always an inexplicable paradox!
The real world, situated between the two lines, seems to have a pair of eyes watching over the entire wasteland, observing every struggling human and alien race below.
Every action of every person is connected by a corresponding thread that dances, constantly creating future outcomes.
"If others also obtain such talismans and can predict the future, wouldn't they be able to predict my actions in advance?"
Staring at the tangled fruit tree in Moore's hand, and pulling out the half- Heaven Stealing Secret Talisman, Su Mo's mind was filled with thoughts as he quickly considered ways to break the deadlock.
"Last time in the Talisman Paper World, although all the fruit trees were lush and green, they didn't bear any fruit."
Two possibilities
"The first possibility is that I had already cultivated the complete fruit in that time and space, and then took it with me."
"The second possibility is that I can't predict how I'll treat the fruit trees in the future—whether I'll water and irrigate them, or do what I'm doing now and uproot them!"
When it comes to logical reasoning, even Zhong Qingshu is not as clear-headed as Su Mo is at this moment.
This is not only due to innate factors, but also an inevitable result of long-term consumption of Psionic Water and improved physical fitness.
Even the wisest person can make a mistake.
To improve the accuracy of reasoning, the brain's computational efficiency must be higher to produce more reliable and stable results and data models.
"My system can't simulate anything in the Talisman Paper World, which means my system must be more advanced than the Talisman Paper World, or..."
"It's even more advanced than this game world."
"Therefore, as long as I possess the system as a variable, it will be very difficult for others to predict my movements based on this kind of tool."
Having figured this out, Su Mo felt slightly relieved about the possibility that others might be able to see his future, and turned his attention back to his own.
"Since the online talisman believes that, given my style, all the orchards will be preserved..."
"But after learning it was an apocalyptic flood, how could I still have such thoughts? It's clear the future is already changing!"
After deducing that the future had already changed, and looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, for some reason, Su Mo suddenly thought of the impending Punishment Disaster.
If the future predicted by the talisman is uncertain, then it means that it is just a simulation tool.
If the prediction is true, and the future can indeed be foreseen, but changes have already begun for some reason, then the reason for Punishment Disaster becomes obvious.
"Has this game world already spiraled out of control?"
They searched through Ma Gu's notebooks and found not a single place that mentioned Punishment Disaster.
I also didn't hear anything about the future or the past in the diary.
In the wasteland where Su Mo is currently located, since the death of the Tengu Pseudo-God, both future and past timelines have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and they all happen to be nearby.
Various game settings that were supposed to appear in the distant future have also become completely unregulated, appearing one after another in a chaotic manner.
"I hope things don't turn out as badly as I've predicted, otherwise humanity's future might be even darker than that of the Ma Gu people!"
Shaking his head, he dismissed all speculations about the future. In his diary, Su Mo solemnly elevated the importance of the Satellite Base, which might lead to the discovery of the truth, to the highest level.
"Moore, take this fruit tree back. Don't rush to deal with the rest; let me think about it carefully."
Tree trunks of all sizes blocked the way to the Underground Shelter, so the Earth Tiger couldn't drive in, and Su Mo had to walk through them to get back to the shelter.
Fortunately, the Rotary Tiller that was made earlier already has its basic outer shell completed. It only needs to be upgraded with Survival Points before it can be put into use.
Upon opening the panel, Su Mo saw that he had 26,000 Survival Points remaining. After inputting various materials, the Rotary Tiller would only require 2,800 points to upgrade. Without hesitation, Su Mo selected the upgrade option.
The emerald green light reveals the powerful engine heart of the Rotary Tiller, as well as the thick black rollers connecting the cutter head.
The sturdy black tracks are wrapped around the key areas, and the gray-black paint job makes it look even more imposing!
Moore, who was still holding the sapling and studying it in the corner, was instantly captivated by the Rotary Tiller.
Seeing Moore's starry-eyed expression, Somo quickly made a decision. Then, glancing at the increasingly tall saplings outside, Su Mo went back to the second floor, took out today's diesel harvest, and loaded it into the Rotary Tiller's fuel tank.
Turn the key and start the engine! As a burst of black smoke billowed from the pipe behind the engine and shot straight upwards, pull the handbrake and step on the brake, and the Rotary Tiller began to move slowly forward.
The person who drew the prototype at the beginning of the design had a great idea: to use a button-type design to lower and raise the blade.
Simply press the red button, and the cutter head will slowly lower, starting to work on the track.
Driven by a power source, the blade rotates while moving forward in a straight line, cutting into the soil as it rotates.
This cutting method throws the cut soil blocks backward, where they are further broken up upon impact with the retaining plate and fall to the ground, where they are then flattened by the drag plate.
The principle is very simple and it is very convenient to use. After finding the direction of the earth tiger and glancing at the saplings on the ground, Su Mo stepped on the accelerator and the vehicle began to move slowly forward.
No matter how stubborn your tree roots are, there's no reasoning with a sharp blade.
In just three to five seconds, watching the tree root, which originally required the combined efforts of one man and one bear, being uprooted by the blade, a feeling of exhilaration rose from the bottom of Su Mo's heart.
"So what if it's Yuan Energy Fruit? This grove has at least a hundred trees. Just keeping a few to ensure they flower and bear fruit is more than enough!"
With each shovel stroke, not only were the Source Energy Saplings removed, but the future that had been predetermined was also shoveled away.
Su Mo went back and forth until there were no more saplings blocking the way to the outside world before he stopped.
"Moore, did you learn what I just showed you?"
As soon as the tree-shoveling began, Moore spontaneously ran alongside, his eyes brimming with eagerness.
Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Moore nodded his bear head repeatedly, his eagerness to get in and operate the vehicle overflowing without any attempt to conceal it.
After getting off the bus and changing drivers, facing the remaining large forest, after planning the reserved area, Su Mo was determined to eradicate the rest of the trees, leaving not a single one.
"The Yuan Energy Fruit needs to be watered with Psionic Water."
"After all this time, I was originally planning to save my Survival Points and upgrade the Psionic Water next time I came back, but now it seems I have to upgrade it!"
Since its completion, the high cost and characteristics of the Youneng Water Well have made it impossible for Su Mo to invest a large number of Survival Points in it.
Every 500 Survival Points will increase your daily harvest by 100ml.
3000 points can upgrade the quality of Psionic Water once, and 5000 points can upgrade the water quality of Psionic Water once.
These exorbitant costs were unaffordable before, but with the current Survival Points, they can definitely be invested in a round of upgrades! Watching Moore happily engrossed in the tree-shoveling task, while calculating the costs, Su Mo returned to the Youneng Water Well on the second floor of the Underground Shelter.
For every additional liter of production, 5,000 Survival Points are required, a requirement that Su Mo unhesitatingly excludes before becoming truly wealthy.
The only two things that can be upgraded are quality and water quality.
"Water quality is easy to understand. Improving the purity of the Psionic Water would cost less, but the direction of the upgrade is unclear."
Gazing at the blue specks of light floating in the Youneng Water Well, Su Mo faced two choices. With a thought, 3,000 Survival Points were immediately deducted.
At the same time, two beams of blue light slowly emerged from Su Mo's hands and, after finding the Youneng Water Well, they swiftly entered it.
Whoosh! The next moment, stimulated by the blue light, a beam of light rose directly from the well and struck the wall above, turning the entire Breeding Room into a faint blue.
Visibly, the previously barely perceptible specks of light in the Psionic Water increased in number, and only gradually stopped after they doubled in number.
"The blue dots should represent the energy in the Psionic Water; improving its quality means improving its energy concentration."
"Then, once the remaining water quality is improved, it should correspond to better therapeutic and physical enhancement effects."
I tried focusing on the well, and sure enough, the attributes of the Youneng Water Well had changed on the system's identification panel.
[Youneng Well Water Extractor (Rare)]
[Description]: For some unknown reason, the well absorbed the Psionic Crystal and gained the ability to capture dark matter.
[Current Efficiency]: 7200ml/day (300ml/hour)
[Energy Concentration]: 0.05% [Upgrade Directions]: Quality (15000), Efficiency (500), Low Temperature Resistance (200), Water Quality (5000). "The first upgrade only cost 3,000, but the second one became 15,000! Sure enough, with items related to psionic energy, the upgrade points are ridiculously expensive!"
After glancing once more at the cost of water quality upgrades, I gritted my teeth and spent another 5,000 Survival Points.
This time, the light emanating from its body was no longer blue, but turned into its usual green, which tinged the water's surface for about a minute or two before returning to calm.
"Survival Points come and go quickly. In the blink of an eye, 26,000 have been reduced to 15,000. There haven't been any major events recently, so it seems I'll have to be careful with my spending!"
A handful of clear, Psionic Water was splashed out, and its attributes naturally emerged.
After spending 8000 points, the Psionic Water finally underwent its first qualitative change, giving rise to new effects!
