Returning Fully Loaded, Fighting for Tomorrow!

A thorough yet simple explanation.

That concludes our discussion of the minor issues left over from the wasteland. Instead of pressing these conservatives for further information, Su Mo raised a rather interesting point.

"By the way, when I was going through the third catastrophe, I entered such a ruin, which they called Task-Type Ruins. After entering, I returned to the first catastrophe."

After careful consideration, Su Mo described the Task-Type Ruins in as much detail as possible.

And they offered their own guesses.

From his description, Jiang Chu's initially casual expression gradually became serious, and finally took on a solemn look.

"I can tell you with certainty that the ruins you mentioned have never existed in the wasteland before. It's impossible for us to be able to travel back in time. Otherwise, we could use our later knowledge and methods to gain access. Obviously, the game must have a purpose in doing so!"

"However, your guess is probably pretty much right. I need to discuss the specifics with the talisman maker!"

I know this is a big deal, and that I may have made a mistake.

Su Mo didn't waste any time and immediately opened his Storage Space, taking out the talisman.

The energy of the talisman paper was not yet fully gathered, but with Jiang Chu's active activation, another green light quickly burst forth from it, enveloping the person and the talisman paper inside.

After a while.

The green light dimmed, and the talisman fell to the ground.

Picking it up gently, Su Mo checked it with the help of the system and found that more than half of the energy that the talisman had accumulated had been cleared.

But at this moment, Su Mo didn't feel sorry for Jiang Chu. Instead, he sat quietly on the stool and waited for Jiang Chu to finish thinking and give his conclusion.

"We've already discussed this. If you have another chance to participate, you can try doing this."

Jiang Chu gestured for Su Mo to come closer, then quickly recited a spell and provided several testing methods.

"Once you're out, don't alert them. Don't make the game suspicious. If we can get back in next time, maybe we can even get some access from the game."

Su Mo nodded.

Once you calculate based on the permissions you have, it's not difficult to figure out why the game permissions have been increased.

Throughout the entire long period of the wasteland, the only time I used game assistance and achieved outstanding performance was at the Time Ruins.

Only this time, he used the Shan Hai Painting cards to complete an unprecedented transformation.

Only this time could the game have the opportunity to use a substitution to cleverly seize control.

Su Mo was very fortunate.

I've discovered this point myself.

"By the way, Su Mo, besides the permissions, I have quite a few other good things here. You should take them all; otherwise, they're just sitting here unused."

Standing up, Jiang Chu straightened his expression and tapped the wall a few times, causing a huge gap to open and revealing the interior.

He gestured for Su Mo to follow, and the two of them entered the mezzanine of the room, one after the other.

The mezzanine space is not large, only about ten cubic meters in size, and you can see everything inside at a glance.

"These rice grains were once a special supply reserved only for the gods. Although so much time has passed and they have not been nourished by divine power, resulting in a severe decline in their quality, if you carefully cultivate them for several generations, they may be able to regain some of their power!"

Jiang Chu is an illusion and cannot retrieve the seed bag on the ground.

But under his command, a Mechanical Arm rose up and held the bag in its hand.

At the same time, while the Mechanical Arm was retrieving the item, Su Mo also gave it an appraisal.

[Divine Blood Rice (Excellent)]

[Description]: Legend has it that this rice is a variety cultivated with the blood of gods, possessing incredible power. Mortals who consume it can instantly gain a significant improvement in their physical qualities and acquire some incredible abilities. However, due to the lack of divine nourishment for a long time, the rice's grade has now dropped from legendary to excellent.

[Special Ability]: Giant Strength (By consuming 100g of rice daily for seven consecutive days, a human's strength will be evenly increased by 30kg after seven days. However, due to grade restrictions, this increase is ineffective for those with a strength greater than 150kg, and is ineffective for those who have consumed the seven-day cycle.) [Recovery Method]: Blood Irrigation (Collecting blood from different types of organisms for mother plant cultivation has a chance to improve the rice's attributes. The stronger the type of organism collected, the greater the chance of improvement.)

[Evaluation]: Let the blood flow! I can accept any blood type! Hiss! Seeing the properties of rice, even though Su Mo is now very knowledgeable, he still gasped in surprise.

While this substance doesn't provide a terrifying boost to an individual's strength, it's a powerful remedy for ordinary humans! Taking it for seven consecutive days can grant 30kg of strength.

If taken when one has a strength of 120kg, it can directly boost one's strength to its maximum, giving one the Giant Strength of 300 jin (150 kg).

For those refugees who are physically weak, even without such extreme use, their physical attributes can be transformed into those of powerful warriors, allowing them to escape their previous weakness in one fell swoop!

Furthermore, this item can continue to recover its grade and gain even more attributes.

"Good stuff! As expected of a veteran deity, the hidden treasures he possesses are truly terrifying!" "Haha, it seems you're quite satisfied with this. Not bad, not bad at all. I, Jiang Chu, still have the ability to shock you, kid!"

Watching Su Mo carefully take the seed bag and solemnly put it into his Storage Space, Jiang Chu laughed heartily and walked towards the second item.

"The first thing is to help you build up your subordinates' strength, but this second thing is something I'm leaving for you."

"Just you wait and see!"

He said something mysteriously, gesturing for the mechanical arm to pick him up. Standing in mid-air, Jiang Chu began to chant loudly.

A moment later, the external fragments enveloping the object began to crumble, eventually transforming into a card filled with Divine Light.

[Cosmic Human Meditation Training Method (No Grade)]

[Description]: This is a card containing the Cosmic Human Meditation Training Method. After use, the user will automatically receive the complete training method.

[Special Ability]: Meditation (When using meditation, the default recovery speed of mental energy is increased by 50%)

Insights (When using meditation, there is a chance to gain some understanding of unresolved problems and develop a different perspective)

Recovery (During meditation training, the speed of physical recovery will be significantly improved, and the speed will fluctuate depending on the Energy Storage in the body, from 10% to 60%)

Growth (Long-term meditation training can slightly improve thinking ability, enabling organisms to have a greater depth of thought when facing problems)

[Comment]: Calm down, and you'll see things more clearly! "With diligent daily practice, while this won't grant us superhuman physical abilities, it will certainly make our minds work much better."

"To a certain extent, it can even change the predicament of our congenital intellectual deficiency. Back then, many scientific researchers used this breathing method to create all sorts of strange and wonderful props."

"Unfortunately, this training method can only be guided and transmitted through the energy of the cards for the first time. If it is explained verbally, people with insufficient intelligence will find it difficult to understand and use it completely!"

The things left behind by Jiang Chu are very interesting.

These things cannot be used to violently enhance personal strength, nor can they be used to accelerate development in a forced manner.

However, he skillfully limited the scope of assistance stipulated in the betting agreement.

With these aids, even if Su Mo uses them recklessly, it won't affect his subsequent access privileges in the slightest.

It can be described as absolutely brilliant!

"Thanks, Brother Jiang!"

Jiang Chu waved his hand and chuckled, "No need to thank me, haha, Su Mo, I also have my own selfish reasons. This divine phantom of mine can probably be maintained in this palace for about fifty years. If... if you really can, then remember your old brother!"

Those who could become gods in that era were the most shrewd of all! In Su Mo's view, this was an unconditional gift from Jiang Chu.

But for Jiang Chu, this was a major investment.

Having relinquished his authority, he decided to go all the way and use all his accumulated wealth to increase his stakes.

If the investment is successful, Su Mo will one day become the owner of the "Temperature Control".

Then this investor will surely become a founding hero.

It's not impossible that he could be resurrected, restored to his Divine Position, or even have the chance to leave the Temperature Control and explore the truth.

"Don't worry, Brother Jiang, if I really make it that far, I definitely won't forget you!"

Nodding, understanding Jiang Chu's meaning, Su Mo solemnly made his promise.

"That's good, that's good. Hey, you're the one he's chosen. I believe in you!"

"However, it's best to avoid using this last item if you can avoid it!"

Walking to the back, Jiang Chu gestured for the Mechanical Arm to pick up the last item and said softly.

"Back when I was still the Ocean God, I left behind this divine decree at a great cost in order to have a backup plan."

"The oracle was simple; it essentially said to freeze all the seawater for a month. There was no way to unfreeze it unless the game itself intervened and countered with its abilities."

"This thing has its advantages and disadvantages. I originally prepared it in case we both went down in flames, but I never expected it to be left unused for so many years. Now I'm giving it to you. If you encounter a problem that you can't solve, perhaps this divine decree can help you resolve your urgent needs!"

It was just an ordinary piece of yellow paper, with nothing particularly special about it.

But upon hearing Jiang Chu's words, and after glancing at it a few times and confirming with the system that it truly possessed such power, Su Mo was immediately startled and withdrew it.

This thing has many restrictions.

However, its capabilities are no less than a large-scale use of privileges, without incurring any cost or fear of being tracked down by the game.

In critical moments, they absolutely have the power to turn the tide!

On the other hand, having given everything he could, he had finally settled a major matter on his mind.

Jiang Chu seemed to have let go of her obsession; her face showed less disappointment and more smiles.

Back outside the room, the two chatted for a while while the food was still warm.

Jiang Chu possessed thousands of years of knowledge, while Su Mo had an insatiable thirst for knowledge.

From the initial encounters with the wasteland to the later development of the territory, even the advancement of the Technology Tree, and the experience of fighting against other races.

Jiang Chu talked about everything, while Su Mo absorbed everything like a sponge.

They talked until their throats were dry, and when Su Mo checked his watch, he was shocked to find that seven hours had already passed! "Haha, it's been so long since we've had such a pleasant chat! Alright, it's been quite a while, you'd better hurry up and go up, lest the game catches you."

"Your abilities are fine, but there's one thing I have to remind you of."

"The reason why we humans were able to make a bet with the game back then was not because of our individual efforts. From the moment we chose this path of resistance, we were destined to unite all forces as much as possible and attack one place in order to achieve a qualitative change."

"When you encounter difficulties, remember, you still have us old guys, and you still have humanity!"

Su Mo nodded. "I understand, don't worry!"

Jiang Chu suddenly stood up and raised his fist. "Okay! It's a deal!"

"It's a promise!"

Fist against fist, although one is a physical entity and the other is a phantom, there is no physical contact.

But when their fists collided in sight, the two couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm leaving?"

"Let's go, I'll take you there!"

Although both sides knew that this parting might be their last.

But it's just like countless ordinary days leaving.

This time, however, it was Su Mo who walked in front, with Jiang Chu following closely behind.

After exiting the passage and entering the main hall, Su Mo reached into the air and a protective suit appeared out of thin air, which he then began to put on.

A moment later, once fully dressed, Su Mo was left with only half of his face exposed.

"This is the Human Empire, Taihang Universe 029, Sharp Blade Mobile Legion, Commander Jiang Chu!"

Snap! Inside the main hall, Jiang Chu stood on the ground and solemnly gave a military salute!

His gaze was intense, as if endless flames were bursting forth from it.

"This is the Human Empire, Earth and the Universe, the Community of Shared Future for Mankind, Honorary Chairman Somo!"

*Snap! Su Mo also gave a military salute! "Fight for tomorrow, fight for humanity!"

"Fight for tomorrow, fight for humanity!"
