Chapter 438: That Old Coward The God Of The Ocean, An Unexpected Hiding Place
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
During Su Mo's interactions with the Fertile Soil Era God of the Ocean, his acquisition of this card did not attract the game's attention in the slightest.
The main reason for that was not because the game was unable to detect it.
Instead, it was because the game had never seen something like that appear in the wasteland.
The rules did not impose any restrictions on experience cards, nor were there any corresponding contingencies for such things.
This meant that even if the game detected the new card, it would still be treated as an ordinary card.
Ina way, this card was also not something that the God of the Ocean had left as a reward.
It was a tool that had been formed by the Fertile Soil Era God of the Ocean through extracting a portion of the energy within his body, according to Su Mo's request.
This was just like how one could get caught grinding for skins in a certain game during the civilized era, but they would be able to get off scot-free when grinding for experience cards.
The game had made an error!
Su Mo crushed the card in his hand and sensed many azure points of light rapidly coming toward him to land on his skin.
He did not resist this either and immediately stood up, lunging towards the light with his hands outstretched.
Whoosh!
The impact of the torrent of energy did not result in extreme relief. Instead, it caused pain severe enough to cause one to break out in a cold sweat.
The Oracle of the God of the Ocean was also in the borderline category of gods and was an entity that could adjust some of the restrictions in the wasteland in a completely open and aboveboard manner.
As for the bonus that came with the title, it was not several meager points. Instead, it was.
100 points!
All Su Mo's attributes were given a 100 point bonus, which was equivalent to 20 times that of a normal human constitution!
Moreover, this increase in constitution was not just a mere multiplication!
20 times increase in energy recovery meant that even if Su Mo began working hard now and did not stop until midnight, he would still not feel tired in the least.
20 times increase in strength meant that whenever he threw a punch, the strength of that punch would be at least five tons. Even elephants would collapse if they were on the receiving end of such a blow.
20 times increase in speed meant that if this were the Olympics, everyone would get to see what it meant to have the most extreme buffs applied in real life.
However, sadly, this feeling would only last for two days.
Without wasting a single second, Su Mo hurriedly sat down, his expression full of pain, and emptied his mind to sense the God of the Ocean's presence.
Three exhales and one inhale, two inhales and four exhales, four breaths in and four breaths held.
Su Mo had already begun consciously using the legendary breathing method that the Fertile Soil God of the Ocean had taught him.
Various elements of the God of the Ocean that had just integrated themselves into his body began reacting intensely as if they were also undergoing a chemical reaction.
Like galloping horses in training, flashes of azure light darted to and fro within the engine room. They were like the antennae of living beings, sniffing constantly at their surroundings.
They were searching for the God of the Ocean's location.
Only they could pinpoint the God of the Ocean's actual location in this massive sea.
'As Su Mo stared at the peak of the antennae, he maintained his breathing pattern, his gaze fixed on the path of those points of light.
At five seconds, the points of light stopped their random scurrying as if they had found their sense of direction and returned to the center of the engine room.
At ten seconds, the light rays came together to form an arrow. Pointing toward the sky, it began revolving in place.
By fifteen seconds, the arrow still had not stopped yet
By the thirtieth second, the arrow had not slowed down—in fact, it had begun spinning even faster!
Even after a minute, the arrow remained like that.
Just as Su Mo was about to stop using this breathing method and re-focus his attention once more, an idea abruptly flashed through his mind.
'Shit, that can't be!
“The God of the Ocean hid himself here???”
He was so startled that his breathing faltered. Following this, the arrow also vanished into thin air.
Asecond later, Su Mo resumed a steady breathing rhythm.
The azure points of light once again obediently returned to the cabin and began their dance just like before.
It was no different from the first time. After sniffing around, the points of light once again arranged themselves into an arrow and revolved in place as they pointed to a spot above them!
There was no doubt about it. The God of the Ocean was neither under the ocean nor on land.
He was.
In the heavens!
Still refusing to believe it even after a second attempt, Su Mo tried once more.
However, after the third try, he was absolutely convinced of the God of the Ocean's location.
“I take my hat off to you, God of the Ocean, for hiding yourself in the heavens. Do you really believe that the most dangerous place is also the safest place?
“If that's the case, it would truly be extraordinary if the game can locate you now after failing so many times in the past!”
In terms of being calculative, a programmed game stood no chance against the most intelligent humans, what more the God of the Ocean, who had learned the essence of being human after being alive for millions of years.
Following this train of thought, even if the game tried several hundred or even several thousand times more, it still would never be able to locate the God of the Ocean.
This was because no one would have thought nor guessed
that…
The God of the Ocean's ocean was actually the ocean of stars in the sky!
“Damn, he's up in the heavens—this is going to be difficult. Even if I want to go and take a look, I don't have any means of doing so.
“Even if the magic carpet can fly, it can only fly up to 100 meters at the very most, which means that it won't be of any practical use. ”
After integrating all of the Oracle of the God of the Ocean's energy, Su Mo could sense how powerful his body was now. Hurriedly, he sat at his desk and began thinking.
Indeed, with the magic carpet, it was possible to fly to the heavens.
However, a magic carpet would not be enough to transcend the restrictions imposed by the wasteland's atmosphere.
Even if the magic carpet were upgraded to legendary-quality, it might still not be enough to fly several million meters up into the sky.
If humans wished to fly to the heavens, they only had two methods of doing so.
The first was via airplane. However, he would still need to obtain an airplane that had some of the capabilities of a spacecraft. At the very least, it would need to have a momentum powerful enough to break free of gravity's restrictions.
The second method was to use a rocket. This rocket would have to be a manned space shuttle that could transport people and enter orbit using momentum, similar to what the expeditionary pioneer, Elon Musk, had done.
Wait a minute.
Speaking of rockets
'As Su Mo sat at his desk, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face as he began searching through his memory.
Around four to five seconds later, the storage space opened, and an ancient-looking piece of parchment flew out of it, slowly drifting down onto the desk.
This piece of parchment had been obtained from Kento Maeda. After using the system to unlock the password on it, Su Mo was able to see records of the mysterious military base used by the expeditionary army of 99.
The words on the bottom right corner of the map were still very clear and legible.
Now that his constitution had a twenty-fold boost, Su Mo could make out each word even more clearly than last time.
“The Eye of Supervision Project, phase three. The first two phases failed, requires the signature of a god.
“The base was inexplicably attacked by the enemy. In the end, the leader, Su Deben, gave orders for the troops to perish together with the enemy and bury the tinder for the third phase underground.'
Su Mo read silently, just as he had done the first time, and once again pondered the information conveyed therein.
However, the next second, he was so astonished he slapped his thigh and immediately stood up.
“Damn!

“It's entirely possible that this rocket may still be buried beneath the base. It doesn't matter even if it's damaged. After all, I have the system—I can absolutely fix it!”It meant the speedboat was stealthy and… concealable!
