My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Chapter 371: Killing Three Birds with One Stone, Strange Breakthrough Mission!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was said that movie plots required a logical progression. However, it seemed that the same did not hold true for real-life scenarios!

After seeing Yang Chan’s name appear among the four, and after he indirectly asked Lu Yongyi for evidence…

Su Mo felt like ten thousand llamas had trampled over his heart. Not only did the llamas eat up all the grass, but they had also left a mess behind!

“When did my sister have the ability to communicate with animals? She ordered a school of treasure fish to help Tundra One move forward too?”

“This.... What the f*ck? She’s also the most important member among the four! Does this even make sense?”

Looking at the details sent over by Lu Yongyi, Su Mo was dumbfounded!

Every night, before he slept, Su Mo had imagined countless times about how he would pick up Su Chan from Tundra One while gloriously sailing his Hope One.

However, he was now being told that the two siblings would meet each other soon; in the ruins, no less.

After pinching himself a few times, Su Mo’s face still displayed a smile that could not be concealed.

Even if the title promotion mission was not completed this time, he could still complete the Level 5 shelter prerequisites, as well as see his sister. Su Mo was completely satisfied!

Now, when he thought about how there were still only about 20 minutes left before he would enter the ruins and meet his sister, Su Mo grasped the three-pointed two-edged sword at his side tightly. His hand was cold, but his heart was hot and thumping wildly.

Suppressing his inner excitement, Su Mo turned his attention to the ruins message sent by Lu Yongyi. Su Mo forced himself to calm down and took advantage of the final few minutes of time to read it.

There were a thousand words’ worth of rules.

Although it did not describe the core contents of the group ruins, there was a lot of useful information in it.

After reading and summarizing the contents, Su Mo kept the three main points in mind.

First of all, the group ruins were the same as the Liangfang Town ruins. Aside from the storage space, all game functions would be disabled after everyone entered the group ruins.

Su Mo was not surprised and did not panic regarding this point, which was the only item marked in red in all the notes.

After all, in ruins, only the storage space function was needed, not the other game functions.

The group ruins was not the PUBG-style survival battle royale that most people had thought it would be, nor did it require humans to fight against one another, or against the foreign races.

This Ocean Commander Promotion Battle was intended to be a friendly competitive tournament set up by the God of the Ocean to select the stronger ones, and was not intended to set off a killing spree.

So, after everyone entered the group ruins, they would enter a world similar to a game that required its players to pass different levels.

In addition to the danger posed by the game itself, everyone was a commander. If they dared to attack other commanders, they would be directly kicked out of the ruins by the rules of the game, and permanently disqualified from promotion.

Of course, there was no specific data in the official information collected about the specific number of levels, but at least one thing was certain…

When the early individual levels were finished, the group levels would be unlocked, and cooperation would be required to break through those levels.

This was the reason Lu Yongyi asked Su Mo to take care of those people that the Tundra Shelter had sent into the ruins.

Thirdly, after this Level 4 title promotion mission began, all the players who possessed a shelter core and possessed the title “Friend of the Ocean” would be able to utilize a brand new function.

This feature was similar to the Disaster Resistance live broadcast, but with some changes in certain aspects.

All viewers in the outside world could observe each commander and use that to choose which commander they wanted to follow.

After the group ruins, a weighted ranking list would be released according to the number of followers the commanders had.

The higher their ranking, the more rewards they would receive from God of the Ocean!

“Interesting, but this rule is quite friendly to players. It’s not as shady as Fall Guys, where players can still mess with each other.”

“In the individual levels, the physical abilities of the participants should be weighed quite heavily. I should be able to gain an advantage here!”

“Not to mention that people can’t attack each other. Given Su Chan’s resourcefulness, she won’t be so foolish as to rush things, so I don’t need to be worried about her safety...”

From the beginning, Su Mo had made some guesses about the Ocean Commander competition but, at this time, after reading the rules, some of his inner thoughts had become clearer.

Although the God of the Ocean was slumbering and concealing himself, he should be holding a large amount of authority in his hands.

The game could only be so oppressive and bully him because, despite the amount of authority he held, he was still not the majority shareholder.

From the peaceful nature of this competition, one could vaguely see how all the gods during the Fertile Soil Era competed amongst one another and yet remained friendly to one another.

Realizing that he only had the final minute and a half left after concisely summarizing all the notes, Su Mo also stopped thinking. He pressed a button on the bluetooth headset and issued his final command before entering.

Since there was no danger in the game, he could naturally lower the OS’s battle alert status a little.

Even though Su Mo had already gotten most of the information, seeing that this matter concerned his sister’s safety, Su Mo still asked Oreo to use her sixth sense to check for any potential dangers.

During this period of time, Oreo reported that all was well.

Oreo’s feedback did not disappoint Su Mo!

“Okay, I’m ready to go. You guys take care of everything, prioritize yourself and Hope One’s safety!”

Listening to his words, the animals replied respectfully. Su Mo stretched out his gloved hands and gently removed the bluetooth headset, placing it next to the pillow.

[Dear Ocean Commander Su Mo, only thirty seconds remain before the commencement of the Ocean Commander Promotion Battle.]

[Please don’t bring along any creature that has not reached Level 4, and please don’t bring along any item that degrades the God of the Ocean’s honorable character]

[This group ruins competition is all about fairness, friendliness and justice… Please strictly abide by the rules of ruins, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences.]

[Ten seconds left before teleportation. Please make sure again that no creature is within three meters of you.]

[9...]

[8...]

[...]

[2...]

[1...]

[Starting teleportation! Good luck in the ruins!]

As the last alert sounded, Su Mo held the three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand. The figure of Su Mo in the captain’s quarters slowly disappeared with a flash amidst the foggy darkness.

Hanging in the distance, a few migratory birds that did not want to leave Hope One squawked a few times after seeing that marvelous sight in the captain’s quarters.

Immediately afterwards, silence returned, and the outside of the ship was as quiet as the inside.

…

[Congratulations Ocean Commander Su Mo! You have successfully entered the large group competition held in the Large-Scale Racial Battle Ruins]

[In the next level, please keep in mind the following precautions]

[...]

For a game that involved a Level 5 title promotion and close to 300,000 Ocean Commanders, the teleportation to the group ruins this time was not as magical as he imagined.

It felt just a gentle nudge.

By the time the sound of the game panel notification sounded in his ears, the whole process of teleportation had been completed.

The game had set up some limitations. After discovering that he had lost control over his body, Su Mo was not anxious, as he was already used to it after his many forays into the talisman simulation world. He patiently listened as the game began to explain the rules.

From the limitations of the competition to the breakthrough mode, the rules mentioned were no different from what was in the message he previously received.

Of course, in terms of the specific rewards, the game explained things in a little more detail.

[In this breakthrough game in the group ruins, a total of 10 Ocean Commander promotions will be given. The titles of whoever reaches the top ten in the overall breakthrough game’s performance will be promoted.]

[At the same time, rewards will be given for every level. After passing each level, you will gain possession of these rewards.]

[Note: If you choose to obtain a reward for a particular level, you will lose the right to obtain that item again in the subsequent level.]

[Note: If you choose to accumulate your rewards, then your reward will be upgraded for each successful level passing.]

[Note: Once you choose the reward accumulation option, you will lose the ability to choose a reward if you fail a level.]

[I wish you success!]

...

As the game finished reading out the last sentence, Su Mo, who had been standing in the same place waiting, suddenly found that the restrictions over his body had been loosened, and that he regained control over his body.

The next moment, his five senses were also restored. It was as if he had entered a marketplace, as rumbling noises began to ring in his ears.

“D*mn it, we finally got in!”

“F*ck, this game took away the control of my body. It really scared me sh*tless!”

“Anyone wanna team up? I’ve been farming professionally for fifteen years. I’ve been swimming for ten years, and I’m really agile. Does anyone want to team up with me?”

“Crap, this mermaid beside me is really d*mn good-looking, I love it!”

“How do we enter the battle? Can anyone tell me?”

As Su Mo heard people around him speaking in Chinese, he slowly opened his eyes curiously and looked around.

Hmm…

It was as expected of the God of the Ocean!

As expected, everyone was in the ocean.

However, different from what was expected, everyone was not free to move around, but were rather like specimens soaked in formalin and on display in glass cabinets.

The size of each glass cabinet was 3m x 3m x 3m. They were neatly stacked together and looked quite stunning.

Through the glass display case, Su Mo could clearly see that, in front of and behind himself, as well as on the top of his head, he was surrounded by normal humans.

However, beneath his feet was an ugly-looking, huge crab from a foreign race.

The crab was not small, and it had very huge crab pincers thanks to its mutation. In this display case, high above the ground, Su Mo could clearly see that the crab was enduring it with difficulty.

“Hey, the crab downstairs, this display case is not big. Endure it a little longer!”

Su Mo curiously knocked on the floor beneath him, inducing the crab’s rage.

After confirming that this glass cabinet was immune to any damage, Su Mo tentatively relaxed and summoned the game panel with a thought.

The panel was gray and black. Almost all of its functions were blocked, except for the storage space function.

At the very back of the panel, a new function had appeared.

Breakthrough!

Su Mo gently tapped on it, and was instantly transferred to a brand new interface.

[Welcome Ocean Commander Su Mo to the Breakthrough page. You can keep your current name for breakthrough purposes, or you can create your own commander name and use that instead.]

[The commander name will not affect your rewards, and a good commander name will be more likely to attract more followers!]

The page flashed with blue ripples. Looking at the renaming checkbox that popped up on the game panel, Su Mo keyed in a new name with little hesitation. General Xing Daorong!

“General Xing Daorong!”

This name sounded very upstanding. Both the rank of General and the name behind it would command a feeling of involuntary worship even if it was not recited out loud.

Also, Su Mo believed that as soon as Su Chan saw this ID, she would definitely know that this was him!

“Hey, reviving the prestige of my General is something my generation is obliged to do!”

After changing his name and removing any worries about being exposed, Su Mo’s playstyle and mentality would be more unrestrained.

At the same time, Su Mo scanned the glass cabinet around him from the corner of his eye. More and more people were already disappearing into the breakthrough level.

Su Mo was not in a hurry. He patiently surveyed the remaining features on the interface.

At present, the center of the whole interface was marked with the huge word “breakthrough”.

Right after that word, the number 1 was also written, which meant that Su Mo was currently on the first level.

In the bottom left corner of the interface, there was a small reward column, which was empty for now because Su Mo had not yet passed the first level.

In the upper right corner of the interface, there was a leaderboard showing the current level’s situation.

Su Mo had only delayed acting for three minutes, but the top 100 of the leaderboard had already been filled up.

In first place, the Gambling Monster Reed currently had 3 points. He had a 0.22 point advantage over second place.

Fahai, which was in the 100th place, currently had 0.68 points, a full 2 points fewer than first place.

After looking through the list and determining that humans currently occupied 75 of the ranks and were in a great position, Su Mo did not let arrogance blind him. He tapped on the word “breakthrough”.

The next second, like the others who had disappeared, the glass case belonging to Su Mo was left empty, leaving only the crab downstairs furiously pounding on the seemingly fragile, but in fact incredibly strong, glass case!
