Chapter 318: First-level Access, Reward Choice!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Science?”

Seeing Connie’s puzzled expression, Su Mo smiled without saying a word. He did not specifically say what needed to be done, but instead quickly turned the dials to enter the password and winded the winch to open the main gate of the Underground Shelter.

There was only a dim wall lamp hanging next to the stone door in the garage on the first floor. The huge place looked mysterious and daunting.

Seeing how Connie the Lioness was like an old granny entering Grand View Garden and looking around in silence, Su Mo also became interested:

“Ever since this shelter of mine was built, you’re the first to come down to the second floor apart from Oreo and the others…”

“…I used to think that this person would be a human being, but it turns out it’s you. This really is a machination of fate!”

She had completely learnt human language and understood Huaxian idioms.

Connie’s eyes widened as she felt the breeze blowing next to her gradually turned into a whirlwind which carried the dust inside the garage outside, as Su Mo deliberately showed off.

“It turns out that the wind ability can still be used this way without a special technique. How in the world did you get your hands on the blessings of the lion clan?”

“Oh my God, it can even be manipulated like this, and you even set up a timed activation loop.”

“How is this happening?”

Seeing how astonished Connie was, and after gaining a sense of accomplishment in his heart, Su Mo pushed open the stone door that led to the second floor.

Over the past few days, to cope with the upcoming disaster this time around…

Not only was there a delay in the progress of weapon development in the shelter, but even the overall development speed of the shelter had also been brought to a halt for more than ten days.

Despite this, after passing through the stone passageway to reach the second floor, Connie still clicked her tongue in wonder.

“Oreo, Moore, you have company!”

Seeing the lights still turned on in the crop culture room, and the food baskets still showing no signs of being opened, Su Mo touched his head in a daze.

Oh, man…

Underground Shelter (×)

Top Student Shelter (√)

The four little ones’ enthusiasm and propensity for learning was immense as they unleashed their “light and passion” in preparation for heading out to sea.

Fortunately, as the central lights turned on, and after Oreo smelled something familiar, their happy time of learning finally ended.

With a sense of curiosity, they looked at the lioness who followed behind Su Mo at the same time.

The four little ones came out.

Two chickens, a bear, a dog, and a lion.

It was said that animals had inexplicable ways of communicating. After seeing how everyone began making eye contact and kept transmitting information, Su Mo waved his hand, went down to the third floor, and passed the floor to Connie.

Connie might be joining the shelter in a completely different manner, but in the end they would all end up as a family of sorts.

However, for now, the process of establishing authority and acknowledging who was boss had to take place.

In terms of qualification, Oreo was undoubtedly the well-deserved boss, and Moore had become the second boss in the shelter because of his recent outstanding performance.

Big Spark and Little Spark were not too bad themselves. As the first wild animals to join the shelter, they had now become the third and fourth in charge.

As the last one to join, perhaps Connie’s status would improve a little when others were added to the shelter in the future.

Su Mo felt tickled as he listened to the sounds of chaos on the second floor. He took out a bottle of iced cola from the storage space and sat in front of the workbench while drinking.

The previous statement to Connie about the eye of the hurricane was simply him spewing nonsense.

The things he said about wanting the blessings of the lion clan and using them to withstand the terrifying disasters were all idiotic nonsense.

Before he had enough power, even if he had the technology and understood the principles, he could only build everything theoretically through models and analysis.

Even if he attained the current lion priest’s level of blessings and did a reversion upgrade again, it would still be far from enough to withstand the impact of the disaster’s torrential rain.

Yes, from the very beginning, Su Mo’s thoughts on surviving the disaster without any casualties was not to protect Hope One from any harm…

Instead, it was for…

Genesis!

“In the first test, since Hope One only needed to have water under the bottom of the hull to automatically activate the Genesis special ability…”

“…so if I create a body of water large enough for Hope to sit in, I’ll be able to accumulate to 30% of stored durability before the disaster strikes…”

“…relatively speaking…if I can maintain the damage done to Hope One from the rainstorm below this value, I can ensure that the ship emerges unscathed.”

As he sat at the workbench and sipped the coke, the tiny bubbles bursting in his mouth as he felt the accompanying sugar rush, Su Mo was not worried about whether he would be able to sail the ship to the Great Canyon during the second test session.

The unequal flow of information not only gave Su Mo an advantage over ordinary people, but also allowed him to come up with preemptive strategies to counter and mitigate the disaster.

However, regarding the specific design to accomplish this, Su Mo remained very focused and began constructing it on the workbench.

Despise the enemy, but pay attention to their strategies and tactics.

Su Mo wanted to teach the army of foreign races that were lying in ambush near the basin a public lesson on livestream to strike down their morale and obtain the third airdrop reward.

With Connie now joining him, Su Mo’s thoughts changed slightly as he focused instead on slowly drafting the design.

Despite the change in focus, Su Mo still wanted each and every one of the twenty-thousand strong army of foreign races to stay behind forever.

It was not for the treasure chests that he could obtain from slaying these foreign races, nor was it to improve Connie’s strength to improve and thereby strengthen the shelter.

Instead it was for…

Reputation!

There was no way he could subdue and convert more foreign races to his side if he had no reputation!

As for whether this reputation was unparalleled due to righteousness or due to ferocity, it did not matter.

It was a long night. As time passed, the noises on the second floor gradually stopped.

He kept himself in suspense regarding the agreement between the four little ones and Connie, leaving it for tomorrow. He was sleepy after working until midnight and slid over from the workbench to the small bed.

Within a few minutes, Su Mo quickly fell asleep from the mental fatigue he had accumulated during the day.

This kind of work-rest routine was a “good” habit that he had cultivated while working in the shelter over the past ten days.

When no one was interrupting, even if Chen Shen and the others were busy working outside, laying in his bed, Su Mo could still sleep very peacefully.

It was not until 7:50 in the morning that he slowly opened his eyes.

Getting up at this hour every day not only helped to alleviate the lack of oxygen in his brain caused by sleep, but also allowed him to check the daily system announcements at 8 o’clock and get out of bed feeling refreshed.

Lying on the bed, Su Mo sat up and opened the system panel energetically after staring aimlessly at the ceiling until 7:59 a.m.

The legendary Hope One was completed yesterday, so Su Mo was already full of anticipation regarding the size of the reward he would receive for achieving this momentous milestone.

“I still have a bit more than 28,000 points. If I can get another 10,000 points today, I might be able to save up 50,000 points before heading out to sea!”

Every time the second hand on the big clock placed in the living room ticked over, it seemed as if a big drum was beating within Su Mo’s heart.

As he suppressed his excitement, seeing that there were only two seconds left, Su Mo could not help but take two deep breaths and focus his attention fully on the system panel.

Clang!

It was neither fast nor slow. As soon as the clock struck eight and rang, a brilliantly bright golden light delivered the daily system announcement on time.

Without hesitation, Su Mo looked at the completely different colors on the usual announcement prompt and instantly moved his fingers, which were trembling with excitement, to open the message.

[Doomsday Calendar Month 2, Day 17]

[You participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of your subordinate village for the first time (Survival points +100)]

[You have gained insight into the movements of an army of foreign races near the shelter (Survival points +200)]

[Your villagers have hope ignited for the future; they feel that they will live a happy life under you (Survival points +1000)]

[The first large vehicle you built was finally completed. This is a moment worthy of celebration. Remember, Captain Su Mo is here! (Survival points +2000)]

[You have successfully discovered the details of the upcoming disaster and worked out the corresponding response strategies. This change in mentality is worthy of celebration (Survival points +500)]

[You have completely subdued the first foreign race member who sought refuge with you—Connie the Lioness. Your team has become even bigger (Survival points +500)]

[Scanning the host’s living environment. Survival points are being evaluated. You obtained 832 survival points today.]

[Congratulations, Host Su Mo. It has been detected that you have successfully built the first legendary-level vehicle. Your strength has perfectly passed the system’s first-level permission review.]

[Congratulations, Host Su Mo. For the following reward, you will have the right to make your own choice.]

[Please note that your choice is not irreversible. During the selection process, Host Su Mo can choose to change choices at any time without any restrictions.]

[Option 1: Obtain 50,000 survival points.]

[Option 2: All-category creation lucky draw chance *1.]

[Option 3: Creation lucky draw matching the legendary vehicle Hope One *1 (Choosing this option will allow you to use 1000 points to redraw the lucky draw once. Unlimited usage.)]

[Countdown for the current selection: 96H]

Final settlement: Survival points +5132

Remaining survival points: 33362

“First-level permission review?”

“A full 50,000 survival points reward?”

Looking at the daily system announcement prompt that was completely different from before, and the selection panel below…

After experiencing the “confusion” of having one million disaster points fly away, seeing the fifty thousand survival points option made Su Mo subconsciously want to select it!

However, as his gaze continued downward, and seeing the rewards for the second and third options, Su Mo was shocked again.

“F*ck! One all-category creation lucky draw chance?”

“And also a lucky draw that can be repeated endlessly with survival points?”

Although he knew in his heart that there would be great rewards the first time a legendary vehicle was built, even if Su Mo did not usually have trouble making decisions…

He could not help but be stunned by the three reward options he had at this moment.

Oh, man, there was a possibility of drawing a big trump card in the creation lucky draw!

If he chose this reward and drew a Dongfeng Missile, let alone a foreign race, he would not even be afraid of the gods that were backing them!

Besides, if he could get more awesome things in the creation interface, the shelter might be able to directly take the express route to meteoric success!

With this kind of temptation, even Su Mo who never liked to gamble could not help but feel tempted momentarily.

“If the 50,000 survival points option represents stability and means that one could steadily improve their strength if they chose it…”

“…then the all-category creation lucky draw chance is a gamble, using one’s own luck to gamble for a chance at all or nothing. If the bet works out, you win a fortune, but if your bet turns sour, nothing changes…”

“…but what does this third option represent? A compromise?”

As he was trying to organize his thoughts on the third option, a new description popped up.

“Hey, there might be something good. Even if I don’t choose, I can check out the prizes for the lucky draw first…”

“…this is simply more conscientious than Old Ma’s in-app purchase system!”
