Chapter 251 Upgrading Skills
Day 26 of the Highway Survival Game!
"If that's the case, then why hasn't there been any related reports about such an important place being damaged and destroyed?" Matsuda asked, glancing at Kazesei-no-Mori.
Feng Xingshou thought about the news reports related to the sea in 2015, then shook his head and replied, "I don't remember much about it. Maybe the relevant information was well hidden."
"Could the destruction here be related to the organization again?" Morofushi Kagemitsu asked rather sensitively when Matsuda mentioned the destruction.
Hearing Morofushi Kagemitsu ask this, Hagiwara gave a wry smile and said helplessly, "How do you think my future brother-in-law found out about this facility?"
"Is it really related to them? Why?" Matsuda asked him quickly after hearing Hagiwara's words.
Hagiwara waved his phone: "My future brother-in-law just said that in addition to their police surveillance and authentication system, this Pacific buoy also has an elderly and child authentication system."
This elderly and child verification system can clearly identify anyone whose photo has been taken by surveillance cameras in all public facilities.
It has a very sophisticated and advanced facial recognition authentication capability.
Even photos of toddlers can be automatically searched and matched within the central surveillance camera system to show people who have grown up and aged in those photos. My brother-in-law believes this poses a threat to the safety of the organization's personnel.
Once someone takes a photo of an organization member, or can sketch a member based on their facial features, it is very likely that this authentication system can be used to find the itinerary, identity, and location of all organization members.
This poses a significant threat to the organization, especially the age-based authentication system. If a member's photo is leaked, it could be used to trace their childhood origins and other information… Therefore, the organization is planning to destroy this system.
Hagiwara sensed a hint of resentment in his future brother-in-law's voice. Could it be that he had already obtained a copy of the system and used it to find out their information?
Or perhaps they're worried that his photo might be leaked, allowing the organization to find information about his childhood and thus pinpoint his identity, potentially exposing Feng Jiang's true identity as well? -_-||
"So in order to eliminate such a system, they're planning to destroy this place?" Feng Xingshou was somewhat incredulous. "You didn't go out to see for yourselves, so you don't know how big this place is. I just walked around the whole area."
In the last five minutes, I've only checked a few areas around the corridor; I haven't looked at the rest yet. It's such a waste to see such a large place go to waste. But the place is empty; I haven't seen anything worth collecting.
“After all, it’s underwater, and it’s an internationally collaborative server information hub. I estimate that apart from various servers, computers, and other facilities, there’s nothing else of value here.” Hagiwara suppressed the unease arising from his many guesses and reminded her with a smile, “However, the servers and computers are not insignificant. They can be broken down into a lot of materials after being retrieved.”
.
Upon hearing the words "valuable," Feng Xingshou's eyes lit up. He thought that if he collected them and sold them, he could finally buy those potions and try to synthesize them. If he could successfully synthesize them, he could upgrade them or buy the potion for awakening mental power.
Could this help her brother Hagiwara and the others awaken their own spiritual abilities? Thinking of this, her eyes lit up, and she eagerly said, "Then let's quickly find those servers, computers, and things like that, and collect them!"
Seeing her so eager, Hagiwara was a little surprised. Matsuda, who was standing next to her, asked in surprise, "Why are you in such a hurry today? Since your brother is directing the organization's operations here, he'll probably be here soon. Aren't you going to wait until he arrives?"
“Hmm!” Feng Xingshou shook his head: “This place is actually at sea, which sounds very far away. It’s hard to say how long it will take for my brother to get here! It would be better to collect the things before they arrive and then exchange information with them when they come.”
Hearing what Feng Xingshou said, Hagiwara, Matsuda, and the other two thought it made sense and nodded in agreement: "Then let's collect the things first. After your brother and the others arrive, they'll call us anyway, and we can exchange information face-to-face when we meet!"
"Let's find the exit of this instance while we're on the way!"
Upon hearing the three agree, Feng Xingshou quickly said happily, "I've already been over there, and there's nothing there. Do you know which way to go so we can collect the precious supplies here as soon as possible?"
Hagiwara checked his phone and said, "Your brother just sent me the blueprints for the Pacific buoy. We can find the server's location using these blueprints. The server is located at a relatively low point, so the air pressure might be a bit different from the outside. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to let me know."
"Don't worry! I'll take care of myself. You be careful too." Hearing Hagiwara's concern, Kazehoshi smiled.
Matsuda watched the two young lovers being all lovey-dovey and couldn't help but reveal his crescent-shaped eyes, complaining to Morofushi Kagemitsu beside him, "I feel a bit full here."
“Easy!” Morofushi Kagemitsu smiled and joked with him, “If you’re envious, then hurry up and find one yourself. What’s the use of just being envious here?”
"Tch! Do you want me to get you some stomach medicine to help you digest?" The two bickered as they followed Hagiwara.
Soon, the group found the server's location in the direction indicated by the design drawings, and once there, they didn't need Hagiwara's help at all. Kazesei no Mori quickly put everything that could be collected into his backpack.
They gathered up all the high-tech-looking servers, until all the visible equipment and wiring in the space were stored away.
To their surprise and delight, they found the dungeon exit at the very back of the server lobby. Knowing where the exit was, the group was less worried about not being able to return, and naturally focused more on helping Feng Xing Shou find other collectible resources.
After a while, Fengxing Shou followed Hagiwara's footsteps again towards the computer room and other locations, until he had collected all the valuable items inside the Pacific buoy before stopping.
At that moment, Gin also sent a message, informing him that he was about to infiltrate the Pacific buoy facility. Upon seeing this, Kazesei followed Hagiwara and the others to meet up with his brother.
While thinking that since the materials weren't going to be kept to break down later, they might as well start selling them now, so they could get copper coins, buy level 2 mental potions from the gift shop to boost their mental power, and then put the goods on the shelves.
Would it be easier to synthesize a primary spirit potion? It turns out that Feng Xing Shou had planned this all along. The best way to utilize the gift shop's capabilities was to first put the level 2 spirit potion on the gift shop for purchase.
By making the Level 2 Mental Power Upgrade Potion a repeatable item in your gift shop, you can increase your mental power. As your skills are upgraded, the number of items on your shelves and the quantity you can buy will also increase exponentially.
Then, once the required synthesis potions are put on the shelves, I can buy them and try synthesizing them. There should be a high probability that I can synthesize all the basic mental energy cultivation potions I bought in one go...
With this in mind, she followed in Hagiwara's footsteps while selecting items in her backpack to sell the servers and computer lines she had just collected, as well as all the collectable resources inside the Pacific buoy.
These items truly lived up to Hagiwara's description of high-value goods. After Kazesei sold them one by one, he indeed obtained a large sum of copper coins. Kazesei, who had never been so wealthy before, quickly put the level 2 mental energy potion on the shelf, then bought one and drank it.
Having had the experience of her first mental power upgrade, she knew that the mental power upgrade potions from this game worked very quickly. Once she took them, it wouldn't take long—just a few minutes—to complete the mental power evolution.
She estimated that she would meet the requirements for advancement in 3-5 minutes. Perhaps her brother wouldn't have arrived by then. As she thought this, she followed Hagiwara's footsteps, feeling her unusually active mental energy.
Immediately, a cool energy surged from her mind. Sure enough, within five minutes, this energy permeated her entire body, and her skills leveled up again. All her skills and spirituality increased exponentially. She quickly opened the hidden game panel to check her personal information:
Wind Star Guardian: Survivor - Wind Star Guardian
Age: 35
Life: 50
Spirituality: 400
Strength: 30
Agility: 63
Vehicles: Tier 4 vehicles
Basic Attack: Palm Immortal Technique Extreme. Skill effect: When cast on a target, it can remove all negative status effects from the target and restore 100% of the user's own health.
Ultimate Skill: Reincarnation and Resurrection. When actively cast on a dead target, it can revive the target with 120% of the user's own life force. Passive effect: After the user dies, their consciousness will automatically return to the 12 minutes before death and be revived.
Inherent skill backpack space: a portable storage space in a time-frozen state, with a total volume of 20 cubic meters...
Inherent Skills Home Space: A portable hot spring-themed space covering an area of four acres.
The unique skill, Water Dragon Bite, consumes the user's spiritual energy to create a certain amount of water, and allows the user to manipulate the water in various ways.
.
It can be said that, basically, all the data representing physical attributes except for life, strength, and agility have increased. As for physical attributes, Feng Xingshou speculates that changes may only occur after she uses the physique tempering potion.
I might even try synthesizing a constitution awakening potion myself, and then try synthesizing a mental strength cultivation potion! If it works, since this attempt was successful, then using a constitution tempering potion to synthesize a constitution awakening potion might not be out of the question?
If her physical fitness improves by then, she might reap unexpected rewards, and she still has a large balance of copper coins, which should be enough to support her in completing this endeavor...
Thinking of this, Feng Xingshou quickly put the beginner-level mental energy cultivation potion and beginner-level physical tempering potion that he had wanted to try on the gift shop shelves. He then bought several mental energy cultivation potions in succession until he had enough to try ten and one.
She silently recited the backpack synthesis skill in her mind, combining the ten portions of mental energy cultivation potion into a primary mental energy awakening potion. Feng Xingshou was doing this with a try-it-out mentality, and she didn't know if this synthesis skill had been imprinted on her soul.
And could she change some of the properties of this mental potion according to her own consciousness? After all, there must be a difference in the medicinal properties between cultivation and awakening. Unexpectedly, this attempt was quite successful. However, in the blink of an eye, she successfully synthesized the potion.
Moreover, because the backpack has an automatic item information display function, it's like she has an alternative identification function. As long as the potion is in her backpack, she can see the information about the potion through the backpack's information display function.
He naturally realized that he had successfully synthesized the medicine. It was indeed a basic spiritual awakening potion. After seeing that he had succeeded, Feng Xingshou quickly bought 10 more physique tempering potions and continued to synthesize them.
This time she succeeded in synthesizing it again, but after the success, she felt the weakness she had experienced after the punishment mode of the last dungeon descended, as she collected the mutated termites.
He knew in his heart that using the backpack's synthesis function would consume more of his spiritual power than using the storage ability, and with his current spiritual power, it seemed that he could synthesize it a maximum of three times.
Three times is fine! Anyway, I only need to synthesize it once, get a sample, and then put it on the gift shop. I can then obtain the same item repeatedly through the gift shop.
Wait a minute! If I sell supplies using my backpack, it will also consume spiritual energy, right? So it seems that if I don't obtain copper coins by selling backpack supplies, I can synthesize more times, maybe four times, or even five times…
Forget it, I'll try those later. For now, I'll put this potion on the gift shop and see the price. If it's cheap, that'll be great. After looking at it, Feng Xingshou realized that there seemed to be some kind of coincidence in the dark.
She found that she had just enough copper coins to buy six basic mental power awakening potions and six basic physical constitution awakening potions. So she thought about it and added the other rewards she had received over the past few days, which were important game rewards that she or others did not need at the moment.
They were all put on the gift shop, which now has 36 shelves after the expansion. Then, with the remaining balance, I bought six doses of Mental Awakening Potion and six doses of Basic Physical Awakening Potion.
I plan to give one to my brother when I see him later, and then give one to each of Hagiwara and the others when I get back, since they are currently on the survival highway with me.
Awakening one's spiritual power and strengthening one's physique will definitely greatly improve one's survival ability. If the older brother awakens his spiritual power, he will certainly be able to avoid future crises where his life or death is unknown...
Just as she was thinking about these things, Gin and Bourbon, who were unusually not wearing their black coats but instead wearing the Pacific buoy work clothes, appeared in front of the group.
Accompanying them were Shuichi Akai and a middle-aged man with black hair and black eyes, whose gaze was full of wisdom and whose face resembled Shuichi Akai's. The four of them appeared together.
.
When they arrived at the place Hagiwara had agreed to meet, Kazesei Mori was quite surprised to see Akai Shuichi there as well. She recognized him because she had seen his photo on Morofushi Kagemitsu's phone.
But why was he here, and why did he appear here together with his brother, with whom he seemed to have a peaceful relationship, without any fighting or anything like that? This shocked her greatly.
Matsuda and Morofushi Kagemitsu, who had spoken with the three of them separately beforehand, remained calm, seemingly anticipating this turn of events.
Feng Xingshou looked at his brother with some unease, then ran over to him with practiced ease, grabbed his arm, and asked, "Brother, what's going on?"
"Fat piglet! You still ask me? I want to ask you why he's here? Why don't you tell me what you were planning to do after you left last time?" Gin sneered at her confused look, his face cold as ice.
"Haha... I wasn't ready to go back then! It was only after I went back and looked at the information on the Symbiosis Cult that I decided to go back in time to see if I could find any clues about the Symbiosis Cult." Feng Xing Shou chuckled dryly.
She didn't intend to reveal Hagiwara and the others' identities to her brother, lest it endanger him and their friends. She was still trying to conceal their identities. Then, changing the subject, she asked Gin, "By the way, brother, what's going on here? Why are you all here?"
Although Hagiwara didn't hear what Fuusei-no-Mori said, he looked at his future brother-in-law and immediately saw the question in his eyes. After guessing what Fuusei-no-Mori had said, he immediately explained, "Fuusei-chan was not involved in the changes to the past. She doesn't have a second set of memories."
Gin's expression relaxed slightly upon hearing Hagiwara's words, but he remained stern.
"So you all have a second set of memories?" This time, Feng Xing Shou understood. She looked at the group in surprise, and roughly understood that in addition to what Officer Zhu Fu had mentioned, something else must have happened.
They all seemed to know, except for her. It was so unfair, she muttered to herself. At the same time, she vaguely understood why Hagiwara and the others had previously guessed that Shuichi Akai's father would bring about a huge change in the past.
Since arriving here, Bourbon had remained silent except for a slight relaxation when he saw his three friends. Now that he hadn't heard Feng Xingshou's words, he assumed the atmosphere was silent and took the initiative to ask, "Tell me about you guys first."
Aren't you afraid that you can't enter the past, and that there will be a merging phenomenon in the dimensions where you still exist in the past? Why were you able to cause changes so far in the past?
"Uh... okay!" Upon hearing this, Hagiwara didn't hide anything and, together with Matsuda and Morofushi Kagemitsu, they talked about the backpack skill that Kazeki no Mori had realized during the last train incident.
In order to change the dimension in which they exist, thereby adjusting the effect of being able to freely travel between reality and the instance, they put their past selves into their backpacks and let their original selves move around outside for an hour before successfully achieving their goal.
Then they explained that in the past, they were able to change things by locating a copy of the past through their own experiences. Without a coordinate system, the longer the time goes on, the greater the resistance encountered by history, etc.
