My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Chapter 191: Great Determination! The Talent Of The Strong!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The very first upgrade unlocked the second function of creation at 1000 survival points.

Su Mo had thought that unlocking the third function would still take quite a bit of time. He had not thought that it would be opened so suddenly!

When he killed the pseudo god using the DF-17 that he drew using the prize draw function from unlocking the creation function, he received ten thousand survival points despite the reduction due to having relied on the system’s assistance.

“The kobolds sure were a treasure trove—both the second and third functions were opened thanks to their bodies!”

The moment he thought of the kobolds who had been exterminated, Su Mo could not help rejoicing.

Having such a strong enemy around the shelter was both a danger and an opportunity.

Silently focusing, he laid in the bath barrel and the system panel once again appeared in front of him.

The foggy panel of the third function was still slowly manifesting at this moment, but Su Mo was not in a hurry. He quietly watched the panel, waiting for the download progress to increase gradually.

As Su Mo kept watching, the progress bar reached 100% and a phantom wave flashed, revealing a new function on the system panel.

“Let me see just what kind of good thing this third function is…”

“Uh? Training ground? What’s this function?”

Looking at the third function that had just appeared, Su Mo was stunned.

The system’s first two functions were upgrading and creation. Based on this trend, the third should have continued to trend of developing the object and items.

However…

Now a completely different function seemed to have been generated.

As a great youngster from the 21st century, Su Mo could roughly guess the effect of the function just from the name.

However, as if the system was afraid Su Mo would not understand, another phantom wave flashed, and a prompt sounded.

[The free trial scene is being automatically drawn…]

[The drawing is completed. The host is welcome to enter the trial field to experience the new function.]

With this free opportunity and the thought of boldly trying new things, Su Mo decided to enter without hesitation after moving into a comfortable position.

Whoosh!

Waves of dizziness washed over him. As his vision turned dark, once Su Mo opened his eyes once again, he was greeted with a vastly different set of surrounding scenery.

The high-end technology appeared in simple ways as usual.

The new scene had no bells and whistles at all, and this scene was not at all foreign to Su Mo either. He could even say that it was familiar to him.

“So the training ground is the same venue I entered to accept the Yue Family Spear technique last time. It can help me learn skills quickly!”

Seeing a familiar figure start to appear in front of him, as he thought of how he had been mercilessly chased and beaten by the figure, Su Mo let out a loud laugh.

In the training ground, he could freely learn skills without having to worry about getting injured.

At the same time, when the outside environment held nothing but dangerous and life-threatening elements, it was much more efficient than doing morning exercises every day!

“Big Brother, I won’t let you off this time!”

Taking a look around and noticing that the figure had completely manifested, Su Mo picked up the spear beside him and made the first move to attack.

Fairy Asking For Directions!

White Rainbow Across The Sky!

One after the other, the Su Family Spear techniques were used! Compared to the first time he learned the Su Family Spear technique, after becoming familiar with it and practicing it again and again, he no longer had the awkwardness from when he first learned the technique!

Faced with Su Mo’s vicious attacks, the beginner figure was unable to resist at all, only being able to slowly parry the attacks. Occasionally, it would even be forced back by the force of the spear landing on its body.

“Yes, yes, again!”

A hearty battle could quickly relieve any pressure built up in his heart.

Without his stamina being used up, Su Mo tirelessly crossed hands with the figure.

Ten minutes…

Half an hour…

As the time dragged on, Su Mo became even more familiar with certain moves!

As he once again beat the figure to the ground by sinking his strength into the “Round Sunset On The Yellow River” move, he glanced at the one-minute countdown that suddenly appeared. Su Mo did not hesitate anymore and started a storm of attacks.

Pierce, smash, jab, flick!

After the system’s upgrade, the Su Family Spear techniques were the most suitable spear technique for him and, with every single move, Su Mo could feel his body stretch and relax to the extreme.

These two contrasting attributes in turn created terrifying lethal force and a combat radius that was difficult for an enemy to discern.

Sooner than he could realize, the figure was once again beaten to the ground, and even the spear in its hands was tossed to the side.

This time, Su Mo was merciless. He jabbed straight at the figure’s heart and, with the burst of bright red blood, the training session ended!

[Congratulations to host Su Mo for successfully clearing the first level of the Su Family Spear technique!]

[The reward is being randomly drawn…]

[Successfully drawn: Pewter alloy spear (a reward that will only be given when the first level is successfully passed)]

Three phantom words floated on top of the stage. After Su Mo had seen them, they suddenly shattered, and fog once again blocked his vision.

When his vision cleared again, Su Mo realized with shock that he was already back inside the bath barrel, and even the water beneath him was still warm!

“Time! The system has even mastered powerful abilities related to time.”

“I spent at least an hour on that stage but, in reality, only an instant passed in reality!”

After understanding that time was a form of currency, the more Su Mo studied the mysterious system, the more he felt that it was not something simple.

With the ability to construct something like “ruins” and the ability to control the flow of time, it was like a game system that could be autonomously controlled.

As the system’s only player in the game, Su Mo could play with any function by paying the so-called “survival points”!

On this point, compared to the game panels of everyone who had been arrived on the wasteland, he was at least better off by a few levels!

At the same time, while Su Mo was deep in thought, the third function slowly displayed its attributes.

[Training Ground]

[Description: It can simulate any training-related scene based on the host’s needs, including and not limited to (one-day trip to the Waterdrop spaceship, a war against aliens, commanding the Helicarrier to invade Asgard, transforming into Ultraman Tiga to fight monsters, as well as… riding a Gundam into a cosmic battlefield and other such fantasy scenes)] (TN: Waterdrop is from a science-fiction trilogy by Liu Cixin)

[Fees: The survival points required will be adjusted according to the strength of the simulated scene.]

[First fee reduction tip: When the host has equipment or weapons related to the simulated scene, the survival points requirement will drop by a certain percentage.]

[Second fee reduction tip: When the host successfully clears the threshold of certain skills and reaches their peak, the host will automatically obtain the opportunity to undergo a designated experience for free. (Duration: 1 hour)]

[Third fee reduction tip: By paying a certain amount of “time currency”, the required fees can be reduced or exempted. Based on the amount paid and the intensity of the simulated scene, the required survival points will decrease.]

[Hint: All interpretation and pricing rights for this training ground belong to the system. Trades will be fair and there will be no haggling!]

Compared to the creation function that had appeared previously, the training ground introduction this time was particularly detailed.

The system even kindly gave out three tips for reducing the cost as if it was afraid Su Mo would retreat in the face of the high survival point requirement.

“So, the system isn’t set in stone either. After I discovered time currency, it sensed that as well and added it in for me!”

After the system verified that there really was a “time currency”, as described by Zhong Qingshu, Su Mo’s mood instantly lifted greatly and he started looking through the scenes that could be simulated before him.

10000 survival points was not an insignificant amount, but neither was it an incredible amount.

The cost of simulating the most basic first level of the Su Family Spear Technique from earlier was only 100 points for an hour-long session.

The second level’s price quintupled—he needed 500 points to enter an hour-long training session.

“Um, the price isn’t too expensive. Comparing its effectiveness, it’s still within an acceptable range!”

Skipping past the Su Family Spear Technique’s second level, Su Mo looked at the other options.

[K-1 Pistol Training Level 1: Unlimited bullets. Target distance can be adjusted at will and live creatures can be simulated for moving target practice (1h, 100 points)]

[M-1 Automatic Rifle Training Level 1: Unlimited bullets. Enemies can be simulated in basic-level scenes at will for combat training (1h, 100 points)]

[Excavator Driving Level 1: Unlimited fuel and unbreakable. An expert will instruct, and a famous teacher will teach. (1h, 100 points)]

[Programming Training Level 1: Top-notch teachers will instruct you and an expert will personally tutor you. Just by sacrificing some hair, you can become stronger (1h, 100 points)]

…

[Mark 50 Nano-tech Suit Training level 1: Unlimited energy, unlimited weapons. Enemies can be simulated at will for combat training (1h, 3600000 points)]

[Liberty Gundam Interstellar Combat Training level 1: Unlimited energy, unlimited weapons. Any fantasy scene can be simulated at will for combat training (1h, 10800000 points)]

…

“Great! This is too cool, isn’t it? Excluding those that I can’t afford and can only watch, the basic 100-point sessions can turn me into an all-around genius!”

Human lives were short. All their lives, if they wanted to master something to its limits, they needed “shocking” supreme talent.

Now, however…

With levels for him to train, as long as he paid some survival points, it was equivalent to having unlimited time!

Whatever guns, whatever parkour, whatever programming—as long as he paid enough survival points and had enough patience, he could become an almighty monster beyond the understanding of others.

And among these elements, the most important “patience” was the one Su Mo lacked the least!

“I don’t have an amazing talent in combat, nor am I supremely intelligent, but luckily… I have ample patience and determination!”

Compared to success, Su Mo enjoyed the improvement that failing over and over again brought far more.

For someone with such determination, failure was not scary. What was scary was having only one chance!

Now that the system had given him such a precious opportunity, Su Mo was definitely not going to let it pass. With a thought, 100 survival points were automatically deducted, and he entered a deep simulation.

M-1 Automatic Rifle Training!

Excavator Driving Training!

Wilderness Parkour Training!

Solo Wasteland Survival Training!

…

Sitting in the bathtub, Su Mo tirelessly went through six whole training sessions before wearily exiting.

Even if these simulated training sessions did not involve physical strength, a night without sleep, coupled with hours of training, made Su Mo’s current energy reach its absolute bottom, and his mind turned extremely groggy.

The temperature in the bath was still warm and suitable. Oreo, who had been lying in her own personal bath barrel, still had her eyes shut in enjoyment.

Nobody noticed Su Mo’s change. Only Big Spark and Little Spark’s gaze at Su Mo burst with light as they cooed curiously.

Examining the familiar scene around him, Su Mo lifted his hand. Sensing the new memories in his head, his face was exuberant!

“This moment today is the moment when my destiny really changes!”
