Control Console Joy! All-Around Enveloping Rewards!
When he was completely clueless about this mysterious wasteland, Su Mo had to be careful in everything he did, guarding against this and that.
But as this veil of mystery was lifted, Su Mo's actions gradually became bolder.
Even this reward he received was a bold and groundbreaking attempt to transcend the rules.
"I choose to accept the reward for this trial!"
[Congratulations, player Su Mo! You have confirmed your reward claim. Your reward for this event is:]
[1. Title Advancement: Fourth Order: Ocean Overlord Title → (Advancement) → Fifth Order Title: Ocean General]
[2. Item Rewards: 1 Four Star Resource Card; 48-Hour Trial Card for Tier 9 Title (Ocean God Envoy)]
[3. Blessing Reward: Selecting a small or larger sea vehicle within 30 minutes will grant you a blessing from the Ocean God, randomly giving the vehicle a special ability.]
[4. Blueprint Upgrade: Within 5 minutes, select a blueprint whose rank is no higher than Rare. The blueprint will retain its current usage restrictions and undergo a rank upgrade.]
5. Item Upgrade: After selection, the player's owned items will be randomly upgraded (the highest tier of the selected item will not exceed Rare).
[6. Resource Rewards: Iron (Rare) * 500 units; Copper (Rare) * 500 units; Aluminum (Rare) * 500 units; Small Airborne Engine (Rare) * 5; Cobalt-Based Alloy (Rare) * 500 units; Heat-Insulating Graphite Material (Rare) * 200 units;]
From one to six, this year's Group Ruins rewards cover almost every aspect.
Under normal circumstances, even the top player who upgrades from an eighth-tier title to a ninth-tier title wouldn't receive such an incredibly precise and comprehensive reward.
But now, after scrutinizing all the options and confirming that the rewards matched his plans perfectly, a slight smile appeared on Su Mo's lips.
Let's rewind to an hour earlier.
When Su Mo revealed his identity, the two arrogant and nonsensical gods finally "woke up" a bit.
When they discovered that the person they could manipulate was actually a deity, an ally.
The mysterious person from the Heaven Stealing Secret Talisman whispered a few words to the Fertile Soil Ocean God, and seemingly to save face, immediately "fled" back. No matter how Su Mo called out to him, he remained unresponsive as if he were dead.
But the Fertile Soil Ocean God, hanging in the void, couldn't escape his fate. He could only respectfully fly down and honestly call out, "Revered God of Food, welcome to this Ocean God's territory!"
The Fertile Soil Ocean God is not a deity in the true sense. Although he bears the title of Ocean God, his actual status is similar to that of a subordinate left behind by the Ocean God.
He has absolute superiority over ordinary people, but when facing a god like Su Mo, he is bound by the rules left by the Ocean God and can only be respectful and obedient.
Then, after the Fertile Soil Ocean God lowered his airs, communication between the two became much smoother.
The mysterious person inside the Heaven Stealing Secret Talisman had already given a first, clear account of the current state of the wasteland.
Naturally, when Su Mo repeated the story a second time, with the endorsement of the gods, this Fertile Soil Ocean God, who was only responsible for the assessment, clearly realized the gravity of the situation.
The true world Ocean God has fallen into slumber and is hiding somewhere unknown. The Ocean God phantom who is in charge of the secret realm assessment knows nothing about it.
Furthermore, after reviewing his own memories, the Fertile Soil Ocean God also sensed something amiss.
"I cannot interfere with or view the ascension challenge set by Ocean God Poseidon. Everyone who enters will complete the task according to the rules set by Ocean God Poseidon. My role is to check whether their behavior during the challenge is up to standard. Of course, my authority can only reduce the rewards of those who complete the challenge by a maximum of 60%."
"To learn about the outside world, I can only do so within this space. When I distribute rewards, I can use my authority to communicate with the challengers and obtain information about the outside world."
"But now, I've discovered that after each ascension challenge, my memories of this space inexplicably disappear, and I can't recall a single thing."
Su Mo: "Then can you estimate how many days it will take for your memories to disappear? I mean, time in the wasteland."
After hesitating for a moment, the Fertile Soil Ocean God gave a rough range for this question:
Minimum 20 days, maximum one month!
In each cycle, a portion of his memories would be periodically removed, and he would never be aware of this portion without being reminded.
Now, under the guidance of the mysterious man and Su Mo, he has come to realize this unacceptable truth.
This is precisely the reason why the system notification states that if the Wasteland Ocean God is not found soon, the chances of being exposed will increase.
When the memories of the Fertile Soil Ocean God are extracted next time, if the person whose memories are extracted is a game, it will inevitably cause an unimaginable calamity!
To resolve this phase, the task was naturally revealed by the Fertile Soil Ocean God:
Find the Wasteland Ocean God as soon as possible!
Only the Ocean God has the authority to halt the ascension challenge or directly format this part of his memory! "Alright, this also concerns my life. I will find the Ocean God in the wasteland as soon as possible and explain your current situation to him."
"But at present"
Rubbing his hands together, Su Mo looked at the face of the old steward of the Fertile Soil Ocean God, and a hint of "difficulty" brought about by poverty appeared on his face.
When discussing the situation in the wasteland earlier, Su Mo had subtly mentioned the current plight of the gods there.
The Fertile Soil Ocean God Ocean God the God of Food's material shortage, knowing that even his boss, the Sea God, had to hide it away!
We're all on the same side, so this wave of supplies must be delivered!
Within his authority, in the dark, endless void, Su Mo saw a panel that only the Fertile Soil Ocean God had the authority to control.
Just like the control panel you can bring up when playing a game, this panel records the entire operation of this ruin.
Currently, this so-called Ascension Challenge will cease operation and become a save file after Su Mo leaves, with only 24 days (Wasteland: 12 hours) remaining.
Those who remain inside will be kicked out.
Seeing that the Fertile Soil Ocean God was signaling him to be bolder, Su Mo immediately didn't hold back and tried to modify his score.
Subsequently, as the performance improved, the corresponding reward amount also increased.
At this moment, Su Mo did not act recklessly, but instead used the system to scan the panel from an angle that the God of Fertile Land could not detect.
The system immediately provided a probability.
If Su Mo chooses to upgrade his title to the ninth-tier Ocean God Envoy, the probability of the game detecting a problem is 0. However, if he takes any other item, the probability of being discovered is 100%.
Similarly, if you only choose to advance your title to the fifth tier, this title aspect will not take up any probability quota.
Considering the challenges of the six, seven, and eight tiers of titles, and the fact that one can still come in and enjoy three more times of freebies, Su Mo immediately decided not to make any changes to the titles! Next, after careful selection and considering hundreds of different combinations...
This time, Su Mo was perfectly positioned to claim all the rewards! "I choose to receive all rewards."
Looking at the dialog box that popped up on the Game Panel, Su Mo reached out and gently clicked it.
Then, starting with the first item, the game proceeded item by item.
[Congratulations, Ocean Overlord Su Mo! Your title has now advanced to Fifth Order: Ocean General. Would you like to view your attributes?]
"Yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mo looked at the title panel that slowly appeared with curiosity.
[Ocean General]
[Description]: The advanced title of Ocean Overlord; Within the ocean, those who dare to be the first will become generals. From this stage onwards, your actions will be unrestricted. In a sense, you will represent the majesty of the Ocean God. Ordinary sea creatures will need to fear you because you will have the right to kill them at will. Powerful sea creatures will worship you because you will become the representative of military power on the ocean.
When dealing with holders of titles below rank five, you will have certain authority to impose restrictions on them, including but not limited to:
Titles of rank three and below grant or deprive rights (requires having two thousand subordinates to activate); eighty-one permissions, including the inability of lower-ranked titles to use title power when facing you.
[Title Function ①]: As the spokesperson of the Ocean God, you will never die from seawater while in the ocean: 1. All physical attributes +5, ocean swimming speed +8, stamina recovery speed on the ocean +100%, injury recovery speed on the ocean +50%.
2. Anti-dizziness attribute +30, anti-hunger attribute +10, anti-epidemic attribute +20, anti-aging attribute +5, anti-sunlight attribute +5, anti-water corrosion attribute +5, cold resistance +103. In the ocean, seawater will become your second companion, and you will have unlimited underwater breathing privileges (within 400 meters of water depth).
4. On the ocean, you can manipulate the seawater to a certain extent.
[Title Function ②]: All marine life cannot attack you by default. [Title Function ③]: Creatures that kill you will be permanently scorned by the Ocean God. [Title Function ④]: You are a noble being in the ocean, and your every move will be watched by the Ocean God. "Hiss, the fifth-tier title has actually unlocked the most disgusting restriction, and it can even grant or deprive third-tier titles. This is amazing!"
Seeing that the first reward was so generous, Su Mo was overjoyed.
All attributes are increased by 5, ocean swimming speed is increased by 8, stamina recovery is doubled, and most importantly, underwater breathing is provided.
These properties are sufficient to ensure that, in seawater, as long as Su Mo does not intentionally kill himself, more than 90% of the dangers will be eliminated.
The removal of the restriction that does not require doing good deeds means that even if you fire cannons indiscriminately at sea and damage marine life, you don't have to worry about losing your title.
Good heavens, a fifth-tier Ocean General, finally some prestige! Resisting the urge to go into the sea and test the title's abilities right now, Su Mo's mind stirred, and the Game Panel quickly returned to the rewards interface.
The second reward comes from a blessing from the Ocean God!
If we were to rank all the things we received in terms of importance, this reward would undoubtedly be number one!
This is a reward personally left behind by the Ocean God when he set up this ascension challenge. It is the only limited item in the hands of the Fertile Soil Ocean God! According to the original schedule, this reward can only be issued when one is promoted to Ocean God Envoy.
Moreover, because this thing requires a powerful vehicle to demonstrate its power, its probability of being discovered by the system is not high.
Therefore, after considering the Hope, Su Mo immediately decided on the reward without any hesitation!
[Player Su Mo, please select the vehicle to receive the blessing. The current vehicle that meets the requirements is the Hope.]
"I choose to attach to the Hope!"
Looking at the full view of the Hope that appeared on the rewards page, Su Mo's mind stirred slightly, and he clicked "confirm" heavily!
