"Oreo? What does increasing strength have to do with Oreo?"

Having obtained secrets that other wasteland humans might not know even after several years, Su Mo scratched his head, looking completely bewildered, after Connie turned the conversation back to Oreo.

Oreo was hatched from Pet Egg dropped by the Pterodactyl Zeta. Although it's a bit mysterious, it doesn't affect the power of other alien races.

Besides later absorbing the divine essence of the Tengu Pseudo-God, he obtained other divine essences!

Seeing the barely perceptible smile hidden at the corner of Connie's mouth, and recalling the changes in Oreo's attribute panel after absorbing the divine essence of the Tengu Pseudo-God, Su Mo's mind immediately started working.

Good grief, Connie is no pushover either!

This back-and-forth struggle, and the pitiful performance I witnessed, was absolutely brilliant!

If it weren't for the many battles of wits with Zhong Qingshu, given her previous carefree attitude, she would never have discovered Connie's true thoughts.

After pondering for a few seconds, and realizing that the only way to resolve this matter was to be stated openly, Su Mo stopped trying to hide anything and spoke up directly.

"No way? You're really planning to betray your clan?"

"You'd better think this through, or you'll regret it later!"

"No, I am not a traitor. Ever since I was abandoned by my clan, I have been expelled from the clan. In other words, I am no longer affiliated with any clan."

Seeing that Su Mo had guessed her thoughts, Connie didn't show any surprise. Instead, she continued calmly, "The Lion-men can't withstand any more damage. We can't afford to be hated by any other race, otherwise it will be a huge obstacle for the next wave of people who want to enter."

"Therefore, even if they know I've now sided with you, they won't have any objections, because I have absolutely no connection with the tribe anymore. Isn't it ridiculous? This is a ridiculous rule they set up after their defeat in that battle, just to cut their losses."

"More than ten days ago, after I completely severed ties with my clan, I had full control over all the remaining points. I could trade with other clans for human language chips to learn myself, or exchange them for basic skills for these fools who don't even know they've been abandoned."

"And as long as I regain my race, all the points I earn in the future can be used to improve my strength and exchange with the game, without having to give back to my race at all!"

Connie clearly explained her current situation and the extent of her break with the Lionmen.

Unlike her previous feigned surrender, this time she truly yielded.

Without the support of the Lionmen, and without any new reinforcements.

In other words, she has fully explained her value and completely handed over her fate to Su Mo.

"Wait, how do you get points? Can you directly improve your strength with points?"

As he fiddled with the barbecue grill in front of him, Su Mo, now that the initiative was back in his hands, had already thought of more problems.

"There are two ways. The first is the same as yours, where you can earn points by surviving disasters."

"The second method is to win a battle between tribes, which will reward you with a certain number of points based on the size and number of both sides and the battle situation."

"The points gained in these two situations do not directly increase your strength, but there are exceptions!"

"If you let me Oreo Oreo's race now, and have her appoint me as God's Priest, elevating my status, I can use points to make up for the difference in strength."

Connie's gaze was intense, and after uttering the words "God's Priest," she showed no trace of drunkenness.

In her eyes, there was an undisguised desire for power.

At the same time, he also possessed an ambition that ordinary lion-men, or even ordinary alien races, had never seen before!

This ambition is strange. Even a powerful White Robed Kobold has an unimaginable devotion to the Tengu Pseudo-God, and is constantly thinking about how to dedicate himself to the kobold race.

But on Connie's face, Su Mo found not a trace of loyalty to the Lion God.

Even between the lines, Connie seemed to feel a slight sense of "fortunateness" at being able to escape the lion-men? "What can you offer me?"

He sprinkled some cumin, watching the fireworks below rise sharply under the stimulation of the cumin. Su Mo remained calm and unhurried, his tone devoid of any emotion.

Previously, it was thought that after Oreo desired the divine status of the Tengu Pseudo-God, the resulting ability: [Ability 4]: Oreo? Race?): The divine right of a living being to create its own race was a useless ability. Now it seems that it is not only useful.

Moreover, for ordinary alien races, it's a "honey" with a fatal attraction! Those alien races who lost the wasteland war, those abandoned by their races, could all join in like Connie.

What great things can't be accomplished! "I can persuade more alien races to Oreo Oreo's ranks, I can help you build a loyal alien army, and I can unleash increasingly powerful blessings."

"I can make the Oreo Clan the sole royal family, and I can lead more alien races to help you find the Godhood Item!"

"Gather the abilities of many different races, create different combinations of abilities, and generate even more magical powers!"

"Furthermore, once my strength and status increase, there will be no second voice in this wasteland; everyone will have the same master."

"It's you, Su Mo, if you're willing!"

Connie's words were incredibly excited, even more so than Su Mo's "hyper-energy" speech just minutes earlier.

Both sides are making empty promises to each other and testing each other.

The difference this time is that Su Mo was the first to be moved.

The abilities of the alien races are incredibly strange. From the kobolds' fireballs to the lion-men's whirlwinds, to the curses of the cursed tigers, and the Minotaur ' Giant Strength, these bizarre skills constitute the alien races' power structure! If we could completely subdue an alien race of our own, and find a way to analyze these strange abilities or transform them into productive forces, while researching cutting-edge high technology, we could also conveniently develop some science fiction and fantasy fusion technological buildings.

These fantastical buildings, while unable to fundamentally solve the disaster problem, can certainly be sold to other humans!

Not only can you exchange for a lot of resources and good stuff, continuing the positive cycle to ensure the rapid development of the main Technology Tree, but you can also do good deeds along the way, ensuring that more survivors can live under the disaster!

"In frigid weather, if I could control the alien races and use my fantasy abilities to develop an energy tower that would be considered a game-changer in the Frostpunk Era, humanity would never have to fear freezing to death again."

"In the sweltering heat, we've developed a lightning storm system similar to Red Alert, allowing us to unleash unreasonable artificial rain."

"Planting, a temperature-controlled farm in Stardew Valley that is not afraid of crows, lightning, or external problems!"

"They even deciphered the true source of the alien race's power, using this as a starting point to Energy Storage even more terrifying energy batteries and completely solve the energy problem!"

"."

On the surface, in Connie's eyes, Su Mo was seriously grilling the beef in front of him, while at the same time weighing the real benefits of letting her join the team.

But if Connie is patient, she can detect Su Mo's inner turmoil through the slightly charred beef!

"Speak, what is your purpose?"

"Purpose?"

As Su Mo finally took out the burnt beef and casually handed her a few pieces, Connie ate them with a frown while deep in thought.

One, two, three. To be honest, the charred beef skewers tasted terrible; they were not only tough but also a bit sticky.

But even with these meat skewers, Connie found herself lost in thought as she unconsciously ate most of the plate.

Connie's expression gradually changed from indignation and hatred at the beginning to peace, and finally returned to a deep sense of resentment.

"My goal is simple: I want to have enough power, and I want to go to the Lion God myself!"

"I want to know the reason for that great battle back then. I must know what conspiracy is behind all of this, and why so many people are willing to sacrifice themselves!"

"What if the Lion God doesn't tell you?"

"Kill him!"

Seeing Connie's gritted teeth and the last sip of wine from the little green jar, Su Mo laughed heartily and stood up.

Having lost both parents, he carries the mission of finding out the reason for the great battle his parents fought back then, and he also possesses a certain amount of luck and means.

If Connie's character were placed in an orphanage on Earth, she would be the standard protagonist.

Su Mo was equally satisfied with the "Certificate of Allegiance" that Connie had submitted.

"There's no time to lose. Since you've made up your mind, let's get started!"

With everything settled, the meal naturally became meaningless.

The second test is tomorrow night, and all preparations need to be completed tonight and tomorrow during the day, so time is very tight.

He casually extinguished the charcoal fire, left the stove where the militiamen could clean it up, and then led Connie and Su Mo toward the Underground Shelter.

If they had previously controlled Connie's Shelter Core, they only had more than 70% control, and were still far from completely subjugating her.

So after Connie decides to abandon the Lionmen and become Oreo's Familia, this percentage will rise all the way to 95%!

With just a little more cunning, it wouldn't be impossible to completely pull Connie onto his side, achieving 100% success.

Therefore, Su Mo did not hide anything about the disaster that would occur six days later, and recounted it in its entirety on the way.

Compared to the people of Hope Village, Connie, who was going to go to sea with the ship, was given a much more detailed explanation by Su Mo this time.

From the changes before the disaster, to the manifestations during the disaster, and then to a general description of the impact.

Furthermore, Su Mo made no attempt to conceal his desire to use the Blessing Power to ward off natural disasters.

"Impossible. My strength alone is absolutely insufficient to withstand such a terrifying natural disaster."

"Don't even mention me, any alien race would die at this stage facing such a Waterfall Rainstorm!"

As expected, the exact same answer.

It is indeed a bit much to try to directly block a waterfall rushing down from a thousand meters high by simply relying on a blessing of sacrificial rank.

But looking at the Underground Shelter that was already so close, Su Mo laughed.

"Connie, this is the first lesson I'm going to teach you today."

"Join my shelter! Science is what we should uphold; everything else is just a tool to support its application!"

Have you ever heard the saying, "In the Eye of the Typhoon is calm?"
