My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Panda Novel

In a sense, the scene in front of Su Mo now was the most “magical” scene he had ever encountered during his time on the Wasteland.

There was that time when the entire sky was occupied by the Heavenly Dog Pseudo God, to the extent that, as long as you looked up, you would be able to catch a glimpse of its terrifying visage. However, even that was nowhere near as frightening as what Su Mo was witnessing at this very moment—Hope One diving into the ocean!

Back on Earth, this matter would not have been as shocking—had it been a submarine.

As early as the 16th century, the shipbuilders of that era had conceived the concept, and then built the first submarines.

By the 17th century, during the Civil War, submarines were already being put to use in naval combat!

“Thanks to the blessing given by the God of the Ocean, all of Hope One’s attributes were raised by one level. Now it has two legendary abilities!”

“This ‘Fly’ skill is amazing! If I want to escape, who else on this wasteland can stop me?”

Touching the golden film that wrapped around the entire ship, Su Mo felt like he had touched a formless void.

Although he knew that its defensive power could not be estimated, Su Mo was confident that…

Absolutely no one on this wasteland could break this!

In terms of power, at this time, this golden film represented invincibility!

This meant that Hope One would gain three hours of “invincibility” every day after diving into the ocean!

“As expected of the greatest reward that the God of the Ocean gave! Making this choice…”

“I’ve gained so much!”

After testing out this amazing diving experience once again, Su Mo waved his hand and issued a command, causing Hope One to slowly float upward.

The sea, at this time, had also entered a period of respite. This happened every thirty minutes.

There was no rush to collect the rest of the rewards just yet. After retrieving the eye-catching flag on the Hope One’s bow, Su Mo gently tapped on the legendary mission listed at the bottom of Hope One’s properties panel.

Previously, because of its limited potential, this quest had been locked.

However, with the emergence of two true legendary abilities, the first step toward the unlocking of Hope One’s upgrade had been achieved!

[Legendary Upgrade: The mission has been unlocked. Do you want to view it?]

“Yes!”

[The quest is divided into three rounds. First round task is being randomly selected…]

[Selection successful.]

[First round task: Awe]

[Description: Obtain the awe and veneration of three billion creatures toward Hope One.]

[Mission Progress: 2366/3 billion]

“Oh?”

“As expected of a legendary upgrade mission! The first round task already requires at least three billion creatures to be in awe of Hope One.”

“It looks like if I want to complete this one, I have to quickly increase Hope One’s completion percentage in order to start the live broadcast stream!”

Looking at the assigned task, Su Mo nodded slightly and tapped “Accept” without hesitation.

This task would be really difficult to complete if there had not been a live broadcast function. Spreading the news of Hope One to three billion people would have been a huge project.

However, as long as the conditions for the live broadcast stream could be met, and if the broadcast was held at the right time, Su Mo was confident that he could exceed the target of three billion people and have perhaps even four billion people in awe of Hope One.

Regarding Hope One, there was still a 12% gap before it reached the 50% mark. Looking at the remaining reward items, Su Mo did not fret. After reassuring the four little ones, Su Mo took large strides down into the warehouse.

Except for the title and the God of the Ocean’s blessing, which formed the majority of the rewards this time around, the rest of the items had been carefully selected by Su Mo.

For the third item, which was an upgrade of any design blueprint, Su Mo did not hesitate and directly chose to upgrade the thermal laser manufacturing machine tool blueprint!

The current machine tool could manufacture the R-1 rocket launcher that was needed for the Shipborne Vertical Missile Launcher System which, together with the ship’s main gun, was perfectly adequate for now, upgrading it would allow it to manufacture the R-3 short-range ballistic missile. This was a temptation that no one could resist.

Su Mo naturally did not let go of this chance.

With a burst of light, the blueprint design of the machine tool placed on the workbench was baptized by the game.

There was no change in its appearance but, in the written description, the blueprint design was now one for a medium-sized thermal laser manufacturing machine tool!

“Tsk, tsk, the materials needed to build the upgraded machine tool are outrageous! The stuff I brought before going out to sea was far from enough. What a pity!”

“Ah well, I already expected this outcome when I gained access to the console interface!”

Su Mo took a glance. The medium-sized machine tool required several rare minerals, as well as a dozen basic materials, but the materials had to be excellent-quality or higher.

Not only was Su Mo not panicking at all, he even wanted to laugh out loud.

The next second, the resource rewards, which initially seemed to be the most insignificant portion, but were actually the most practical, started to fill the seemingly empty warehouse.

In the beginning, when choosing the rewards, Su Mo was not so stupid as to choose all the special items that had a quality rating.

Instead, he sensibly chose to include basic materials, which made up about 20% of the quota of materials that he needed.

Not only could these materials be used in the manufacturing of the medium-sized machine tool, but they were also the most important raw materials for the R-3 short-range ballistic missile that had yet to make its appearance.

From the warhead, to the body, to the missile engine… After utilizing these materials to their fullest extent, five rounds of the guided ballistic missiles could be manufactured.

The power of this naval weapon was far less impactful than the DF-17. However, on the wasteland, they could be considered a proper strategic weapon thanks to their range of more than a thousand kilometers. They could turn a battle around at a critical juncture.

Su Mo was always very shrewd when it came to decisions like this, which would net him a significant gain and allow him to potentially turn the tables on his enemies when the situation required it.

When all the resource rewards had been given out, Su Mo moved his hands over the design blueprint and spent 500 Disaster Points. After that, the blueprint of the medium-sized machine tool appeared within the game’s creation page.

After putting in the materials needed for the blueprint in sequence, and paying 2000 Disaster Points, Su Mo nodded in satisfaction at the six-hour manufacturing countdown displayed by the game panel.

At this point, the bulk of the rewards had been distributed.

Among the remaining rewards, there was a four-star random resource card. When released, a new kind of four-star resource would be generated within the territory. This was a useful tool that would help the development of his territory in the future.

He also obtained a two-day Oracle of the God of the Ocean Experience card. Not only could it be used as his trump card, but he would also be able to obtain some news and information about the God of the Ocean through this card during critical moments.

The final reward was the upgrade of a random item. Su Mo’s luck was probably all used up, as it was not his three-pointed two-edged sword that was upgraded, which was what he had hoped for, but rather the Eternal Flame Lamp that had been sitting unused in a corner of the warehouse.

The Eternal Flame Lamp was an item they had obtained from the Zeus Shelter’s raid. According to the original plan, Su Mo had wanted to install it on Hope One and use it during night battles.

However, in the battle against 20,000 troops from the foreign races, there was no need for illumination due to the existence of the ship’s main gun.

Not to mention that the presence of Hope One should remain concealed when sailing across the ocean.

Therefore, this thing had been set aside for many days.

Were it not for this upgrade, even Su Mo would have forgotten that he had acquired such an object.

The Eternal Flame Lamp appeared in Su Mo’s hand after he searched around for it in the corner of the warehouse, which was where he remembered putting it.

The Eternal Flame Lamp’s properties began to appear slowly as the game brought up its properties panel.

[Eternal Flame Lamp (Epic)]

[Description: This is a peculiar tool created by a dwarven master, and had originally been used to provide lighting to a dark cave but, for some reason, this item fell into the wasteland and gained an epic ability. No epic story has been engraved within it, so the epic ability cannot fully display its true value. The user needs to bind it and engrave it with an epic story, after which it can truly become an epic-quality item.]

[Special Ability:]

[Energy Storage (After it is bound, when the Eternal Flame Lamp is not turned on, it will automatically absorb light energy and store energy to power the device within it. The amount of energy stored is determined by the intensity of the light energy).]

[Light (When the energy level of the Eternal Flame Lamp is at 100%, it can be turned on for approximately three hours. Intensity: one million lumens)]

[Adjustment (Eternal Flame Lamp will automatically make certain adjustments according to the situation. It will also, to a certain extent, change according to the needs of the person it is bound to in order to find the best illumination intensity and direction)]

[Invigorate (Friendly creatures illuminated by its light will gain a temporary boost in fighting spirit. It can be used in many situations. Please try it out to find out more)

[Fear (Enemy creatures illuminated by its light will unconsciously feel fear, which may produce a number of negative effects such as fear of battle, aversion to battle, and fearful escape. Note: the maximum time limit for this effect is five minutes. If it is used beyond this duration, there is a high probability that the reverse effect will occur, and the enemy creatures will enter a do-or-die state)]

[? (Locked)]

[First restriction: The Eternal Flame Lamp must be bound to the user before it can be used.]

[Second restriction: If you need to move the Eternal Flame Lamp after binding, you need to spend 3000 Disaster Points.]

[Resale Value: High]

[Resale Points: 1500 Disaster Points]

“Huh, the effect is surprisingly good. The previous intensity of three hundred thousand lumens was indeed rubbish, but now that the intensity has increased to a million lumens, this lamp can probably be used as a weapon.”

“Plus this lamp can also affect the condition of other creatures. Good, good!”

Despite the fact that he noticed that this lamp had to be bound to him before he could use it, Su Mo did pay it any mind. He directly returned to the main deck with the materials and various tools in hand.

As for the location where the Eternal Flame Lamp would be installed, Su Mo directly selected the center of Hope One, directly above the Defense Master.

Not only would the lamp provide sufficient lighting if it was placed here, but its illumination range would be extended out to the perimeter of Hope One as much as possible.

After a while, the iron frame was installed. Su Mo picked the Eternal Flame Lamp up and chose to bind it to him directly.

Like it was some kind of unidentifiable creature, the Eternal Flame Lamp gradually fused with the iron plate. Su Mo curiously opened Hope One’s properties panel.

After a glance, Su Mo could not help but be surprised.

“D*mn, this Eternal Flame Lamp is really good stuff! It actually added a full 8% to Hope One’s completion progress.”

“As long as we achieve the remaining 4%, Hope One’s degree of completion will reach 50%!”
