Chapter 9: Limitations on Ability Upgrades
Most psychics need about 50 first-level crystal cores to upgrade from level one to level two. Some will need more, and some will need relatively less.
The higher the level, the more crystal cores are needed to upgrade, and there are also requirements for the crystal core level.
As the level of supernatural powers increases, subsequent upgrades will require higher-level crystal cores, otherwise no matter how many crystal cores you have, they will be useless.
For example, to upgrade from level 2 to level 3, in addition to a large number of primary crystal cores, a lot of secondary crystal cores are also needed as an upgrade breakthrough.
Some even require cross-level crystal cores. For example, to upgrade from level 4 to level 5, in addition to a large number of primary crystal cores and enough level 4 crystal cores, at least one level 5 crystal core is also required.
However, upgrading mutated plants, animals, and zombies is easier than upgrading mutants, and there are no clear restrictions on crystal cores.
However, this is just a prerequisite. The book mentions that many people's supernatural power levels are stuck at level four. To upgrade to level five or even higher, they need talent.
Those who can upgrade their superpowers to level five will be sought after and invited by various forces. When the male and female protagonists entered the Spark Base, their superpowers had just been upgraded to level five.
In addition to helping mutants such as psychics and zombies upgrade, crystal cores can also be used to restore superpowers and conduct scientific research. Crystal cores are also the currency of the apocalypse.
I looked at my watch. It was 4:30 in the afternoon.
Put away the crystal core and continue moving forward. We must find a safe place to stay before dark.
Soon, we reached the roadside. Looking around, we saw buildings still under construction and figures swaying on tall buildings in the distance.
Shen Qianxun guessed that they should be stationed workers. As for whether they had turned into zombies, she couldn't tell from her angle.
Looking at the pile of fine sand beside him, Shen Qianxun's eyes lit up.
Isn’t this just natural cat litter?
Marshmallow dug out the cat bag first, and Shen Qianxun put it down.
Marshmallow walked to the pile of sand and dug, and a hole soon appeared at his feet. He spread his legs, got into position, and looked straight ahead, accompanied by rapid and continuous crackling sounds.
At the same time, Shen Qianxun was happily collecting.
While collecting, I was thinking how it would be nice if I could divide the space into the sizes I wanted.
This not only makes it convenient to store supplies, but also saves storage tools, especially when collecting daily water later.
Then he used his consciousness to examine the space and made a surprising discovery.
The several tons of sand and gravel that she had just stored in the space were now neatly arranged in a square shape and suspended at the top of the space.
Shen Qianxun still clearly felt those dividing lines.
She imagined various shapes in her mind, and the sand and gravel changed according to her consciousness.
Balls, five-pointed stars, sofas, cushions, twisting caterpillars...
You can pinch it however you want, but you can’t change the color.
She decided that when she was bored in the future, she would play with things in the space.
The primary space has 10,000 cubic meters, and Shen Qianxun collected two piles of sand, which she could also use for emergencies.
Kick Marshmallow's butt lightly to signal it to follow.
It’s tiring to hold a furry kid who weighs more than 10 pounds all the time.
It's the end of the world, and cats also want to be independent.
Marshmallow expressed his understanding, stretched, and quickly caught up with his own poop scooper.
I saw a new bus stop along the way, with a map of the surrounding area in the glass window.
After checking, I learned that a large area around it was part of the new district planning and was in the initial construction stage. No wonder I didn’t see any people or zombies.
There are newly built residential areas and empty shops next to it, and you can tell at a glance that no one is living there.
I quickly scanned the map and had a goal in mind.
Before she traveled into the novel, she had been living in the southern city of Rongcheng. In addition to front, back, left, and right, she could also distinguish east, west, south, and north.
She has an amazing memory and can remember everything she sees. Thanks to this advantage, she was successfully admitted to the China University of Political Science and Law.
In less than a minute, memorize the directions of multiple important locations.
Now, she is going to a hotel nearby.
Look at the direction and recall the contents of the book.
Shen Qianxun guessed that this hotel was the one mentioned in the book that was about to open. Its specialty was contracting various high-end banquets and it was located at the intersection of the new and old districts.
It just happened to open today, the second day after the apocalypse.
The hotel prepared a lot of supplies. When the protagonist team arrived here, in addition to the meat, vegetables and fruits that had been damaged by the high temperature and power outage, they still collected a lot of supplies, including several tons of high-quality rice alone.
Moreover, there is a large shopping mall near that area.
Moreover, the hotel's location was relatively safe in the early stages, making it a great place for her to practice killing zombies and collecting supplies.
Just do it, one person and one cat, and hit the road happily.
An hour later, we entered the hotel.
Along the way, kill eight zombies and obtain four milky white ordinary crystal cores.
A half explosion rate is pretty good in the early stages.
In addition, after digging out eight zombie heads in a row, his supernatural proficiency and accuracy improved a lot.
As for the stench emitted by zombies, you will get used to it after smelling it for a while.
Three of the slow ones were killed by her with a machete.
As a result, there are several cuts on the blade, and it is in urgent need of a replacement with a peerless sword.
In addition, two of them were killed using lightning abilities.
The remaining three are space blades.
This was after she discovered that space could be cut at will, and realized that her space seemed very similar to the space of the heroine in the book.
In the middle of the process, the hot water stored in the space was taken out and it was still boiling hot.
To verify whether it is a long-term static space, continue to put hot water back into the space and then take it out to check.
The lethality of the space blade is comparable to that of the thunder blade.
But unlike the thunder ball attack, killing zombies with the space blade makes almost no noise.
With a wave of his hand, a silver-white blade shot out rapidly, easily cutting the zombie in half.
The main feature is speed, accuracy and ruthlessness, which can kill zombies silently.
Shen Qianxun decided to use the crystal core he obtained to upgrade his spatial ability first.
This not only gains more space but also increases lethality, killing two birds with one stone.
Soon, a magnificent and majestic hotel appeared in front of the man and the cat.
What caught my eye was a still rotating glass door. Two bloody handprints could be vaguely seen on one side of the glass. There was a bloody dragging mark on the stairs at the door, and there were also burnt marks around the hotel.
Through the lobby glass, you can see most of the hotel front desk, which is magnificent.
Behind the wall is the old city, and inside is a bustling and lively neighborhood. If you look carefully, you can even hear roars coming from outside the wall.
Most of the surrounding shops were closed, and there was a 24-hour convenience store, but the glass doors were covered in blood.
In addition, there are 7 wandering zombies, who appear to be sanitation workers and elderly people doing morning exercises.
She gently put the marshmallow at her feet into the cat bag. She had to get rid of these zombies first.
There is no guilt in killing humans who have turned into zombies.
He swung out the light blade and successfully took out the zombie closest to him, followed by the two under the tree nearby.
To deal with these zombies, the best option is to kill them with a space blade.
Once the nearby zombies are attracted over, it will be difficult for her to escape.
At this moment, on her right side, there were three zombies standing side by side, limping towards her.
Despite his disability, he is determined and looks excited.
