Using Permissions! The World Behind the Glass!

What exactly is the power of authority?

What is his origin, and where is his end?

Since gaining Food Authority, countless questions have been troubling Su Mo.

He had once guessed that using this permission would grant him abilities similar to those of the gods in Chinese mythology, capable of traversing mountains and carrying heavy loads.

They often elevate themselves to a higher level.

He also speculated that this access would allow him to experience different dimensional changes and a sense of transcendence that truly crushed three-dimensional beings.

But now.

After Su Mo actually used this authority, he had a slight understanding! "Amazing, so this is how the three-dimensional world works. No wonder we can never transcend the limitations of the rules!"

Through nothingness.

Su Mo's eyes began to glaze over.

But on his retina, countless strange things began to converge.

A large number of oddly shaped zeros flashed by, followed by a dense mix of numerous 1s.

Subsequently, countless symbols began to resonate with the previously appearing numbers at the same frequency.

As we all know, the world of programming consists of countless 0s and 1s that computers can recognize.

These two simple numbers form a complex set of instructions.

This allows the computer to understand what we are outputting.

The underlying structure of the real three-dimensional world actually shares many similarities with these 01 code worlds.

However, the fundamental elements that constitute the entire three-dimensional system are not simply 0 and 1, but countless densely packed underlying logics that merge and iterate with each other.

Based on these logics, the entire world evolved, and its rules were constantly improved.

Just like making games, more and more details are added and more and more code blocks are merged, forming a rich variety of parallel worlds.

The people living in these worlds are just like the characters in a game.

They can pick up swords and all sorts of strange props.

They were able to study the patterns behind these things, and thus gradually create props and swords.

But the one thing that three-dimensional humans cannot do is see the code logic behind this prop, and thus extract it out of thin air to manufacture it remotely.

"This is an ability that only Four-Dimensional Beings can control!"

"In their eyes, this ability might be as intuitive as we are looking at code, but for us who live in three dimensions..."

"An absolute cognitive barrier!"

Even when exercising the authority of the Food God of Cookery, Su Mo's understanding of this lower level is still insufficient! It's like looking through thick frosted glass; even if you can see the other side through a certain focal point, the view is still not clear or intuitive enough.

We need to obtain more permissions to gradually reduce the thickness of the glass until it disappears!

"It doesn't matter that I can't see the world on the other side, but as soon as I use it, the game will definitely detect the anomaly."

"We must be prepared to flee at any time!"

After some maneuvering, Su Mo discovered that his exercise of his privileges to spy on the "other world" did not trigger any reaction from the game.

Of course, it's also possible that the game has undergone an update, temporarily reducing the monitoring authority over the wasteland.

But Su Mo also clearly knew that he was an observer in the same direction.

The game is closer to the world on the other side than you are to yourself.

Once you use any permissions, no matter how small, the game will definitely detect it immediately.

I've temporarily abandoned the idea of using my permissions to retrieve things.

After his gaze returned to the storage room on the rocket, Su Mo strode forward and headed straight for the captain's Captain's Cabin.

"If our energy supply is available, how many seconds can it take to launch?"

Lü Kuan lowered his head and tapped furiously, then said, "Thirty-five seconds. Energy is ready. Self-check time is 25 seconds. After self-check, you can launch directly in ten seconds."

"That's not enough. Just cut the self-test and launch it directly!"

Lü Kuan shook his head. "It will take at least fifteen seconds. Our roof needs time to open; we can't just launch it on a whim!"

"Alright, get ready to launch at any time. Once the power is available, launch immediately, regardless of any danger!"

"Receive!"

After settling the rocket launch arrangements and seeing the green lights on the various panels, Su Mo immediately stopped waiting and strode back to the Energy Room.

About fifty seconds later, Lü Kuan's message arrived.

As long as the energy is available, the rocket can be launched immediately!

Everything is ready, except for the final push.

Su Mo didn't wait for this opportunity; he immediately and slowly reached into the void.

An object, only the size of a walnut, but emitting a deep purple light, appeared in his hand.

[Energy Walnut (Epic Grade)]

[Description]: A super walnut containing a massive amount of energy. Legend has it that this walnut flowers once every nine thousand years, bears fruit once every nine thousand years, and takes eighteen thousand years to mature. However, because the legend is so ancient, such a rare object is hard to find in the universe, and fewer and fewer people know about it. Note: The energy inside this walnut can be converted into other energy sources at will. It can be used not only in living organisms but also in vehicles, weapons, armor, and many other fields.

[Energy Quantity]: 3β [Supply Method]: Demand-based function

[Energy Recovery]: Unrecoverable (reduced accordingly after use) [Evaluation]: Ginseng Fruit (×), Otherworldly version of Old Man's Joy (√) This walnut, although its rating is only Epic.

However, the pure energy contained within it is far more terrifying than that of a true Legendary-Class, enough to make anyone who can sense this energy tremble with fear.

After retrieving it from the void, Su Mo almost instantly threw it into the Energy Bay, shouting, "Hurry up, launch!"

This time, the feeling of being targeted was not subtle; in fact, it was quite obvious.

Even though he didn't know how far away they were, a feeling of impending doom instantly exploded in Su Mo's heart.

Fortunately, with the cover of the deep sea and the system's perfect disguise, although the feeling was unsettling, no thunderous attack ever struck.

Su Mo only breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the launch countdown from Lü Kuan.

"Preparation.3"

"2"

"1"

Whoosh!

The roof of the base began to open.

Blue flames began to erupt from beneath the Youneng Shuttle Rocket, transforming into incredibly powerful propulsion that lifted the rocket upwards.

Even with the pressure of thousands of tons in the deep sea, the speed remained perfectly stable, without the slightest fluctuation.

"It's done?"

"The game didn't detect me?"

As he watched the base below begin to disappear, Su Mo felt a surge of joy, and his fear and anxiety immediately subsided considerably.

But just as he was about to speak, a feeling of being watched, dozens of times more terrifying than before, suddenly surged up again.

Unlike last time, this time even the system popped up! [Warning!]

[Warn!]

[Warn!]

[An unknown enemy has been detected reading the host's information. Do you wish to cover your tracks? This cover-up will cost 1200 Survival Points!]

[An unknown enemy has been detected accessing the host's location. Do you wish to cover it up? This cover-up will cost 658,900 Survival Points!]

[An unknown enemy has been detected tracking the host's current location. Do you wish to take cover? This cover will cost 7200 Survival Points!]

[.]

Dozens of scarlet notifications, like maggots clinging to bones, instantly exploded in Su Mo's ears.

There were a total of six pieces of information that needed to be concealed. Not counting the most expensive second item, the other five items alone cost more than 10,000 points!

Even when facing positive checks from the game before, the system never indicated such a high cost.

But now, looking at these hefty figures, Su Mo immediately had a change of heart and finalized all five items except for the base location.

Empiricism is deadly! For players in the wasteland, the methods the game employs...

Even if something goes too far, it must still be within certain rules and restrictions, and one cannot go all out.

But for these gods, the game allows them to use all their abilities without restraint, aiming to kill with a single blow.

If Su Mo hadn't made thorough preparations beforehand, he and Oreo would probably be forced to flee in panic right now.

How could they possibly take the Brain Box, along with all the props and the rocket, and fly away?

"Lü Kuan, how many meters are we still to the sea surface?"

"Two thousand one hundred meters left, two thousand meters, no, what is this!"

Switching to his first form, Su Mo roared as he sprinted toward the Captain's Cabin.

Lü Kuan, who was sitting in the first mate's seat, was also shouting loudly, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

With his head covered and ignoring what Lü Kuan was shouting, Su Mo rushed into the room in an instant and quickly sat down in the captain's seat to scan the area.

After the delay, the rocket is now only 800 meters above the sea level.

It is estimated that it will take only three seconds to reach the surface of the sea and soar into the sky.

But it was at this moment that, thanks to the defense Inspection Module on the Youneng Shuttle Rocket, a violent energy burst reaction could be seen above the sea.

If the launch direction is not changed, or if the launch is not stopped, the two will definitely collide.

Even if the rocket's outer shell is made of an eleventh-level alloy, it will absolutely not be able to withstand the damage caused by this energy level.

Staring intently at the various data displayed on the screen, a sense of inexplicable familiarity arose in Su Mo's heart.

The next second, Su Mo immediately realized what was happening.

The game even used its permissions to block him!

Run or charge!

With only seven seconds left, the choice was given to Su Mo.

"Don't change course, charge! Only if we break through can we survive!"

Gritting my teeth and enduring the immense pressure, I forced myself not to look at the steering handle next to me.

Su Mo looked away from the data panel and stared intently at the floor-to-ceiling glass in front of him.

At this moment, they were only one hundred meters away from the sea surface.

Light began to scatter through the water.

The next second, the rocket shot directly into the sky from the water, its powerful exhaust plume shooting straight into the heavens.

At that moment, Su Mo clearly saw the attack he was about to face.

But at this moment, the seriousness on his face finally faded, replaced by a look of relief.

In the sky, a large, light gray hand hovers above the sea.

As the rocket rose, the giant hand pressed down simultaneously.

But surprisingly...

Faced with this giant hand, the entire surface of the Youneng Shuttle Rocket merely lit up with a layer of blue light before smoothly passing directly through the giant hand without diminishing its momentum.

Clearly, the rocket was exempt from the rule attack! And below, the giant hand did not come back to pursue, but instead slammed into the sea, instantly causing the entire sea surface to collapse by several meters.

"Holy crap. What the hell is this thing? Is it an anti-gravity attack or a proton attack?"

"Holy crap, that's terrifying!"

This can be clearly seen in the spacecraft's transmitted footage at this time.

Below, where the sea had previously surged out, there was now an invisible void.

This cavity is not because the seawater inside was squeezed to the side.

Instead, it simply disappears!

The seawater, stretching all the way down to the bottom, covering a distance of fifty kilometers and a depth of five thousand meters, was completely evaporated in an instant.

Its final base, constructed from Fourth Grade Alloy, caused no ripples and was instantly annihilated in the wasteland.

When a player makes a move, it's nothing special; but when it does, its power is astonishing.

Su Mo had no doubt that even if he remained below, with his level eleven or even level twenty alloy, he would not meet the same fate.

"Damn, no wonder he's a wealthy and powerful dictator!"

Wiping the cold sweat from his brow with lingering fear, he looked at the clouds that were now almost within reach.

Standing up, Su Mo finally couldn't contain his excitement and burst into laughter.

No matter how incompetent and furious the game was, he still won this round!
