Chapter 88 500 cubic meters: Can we take the mountain in and use it as a brick?
Inside the tent, an emergency light cast a dim, yellowish glow.
Lu Sheng sat cross-legged, his fingertips pinching the two jet-black [Strengthening Bone Spirit Fruits].
This thing looks really awful; it looks like two pieces of burnt charcoal, with cracked surfaces and a strange, indescribable smell.
If it weren't for the dragon's eye pointing out that it was a spiritual fruit, it probably wouldn't even be noticed by a dog if it were thrown on the roadside.
"Hopefully it'll have some chewiness, so I don't break my teeth."
Without further hesitation, Lu Sheng opened his mouth and threw two fruits directly in.
"Snap!"
The moment your teeth bite down, there's no delightful sensation of juices splashing everywhere; instead, it feels like chewing on two hard, crunchy bones, producing a teeth-grinding grinding sound.
Immediately afterwards, a chilling, bone-piercing airflow rushed down my throat, like an ice snake, instantly burrowing into my limbs and bones!
pain!
A piercing pain that goes deep into the bone marrow!
This pain wasn't the burning pain of a skin injury, but rather like countless tiny files drilling into the cracks of his bones, frantically grinding down every bone in his body.
"Well……"
Lu Sheng groaned, veins bulging on his neck, and beads of cold sweat instantly soaked through his clothes. He gritted his teeth, remaining silent.
No pain No gain.
Compared to being devoured by floating corpses, this pain is nothing more than a tickle.
"Crackling and popping—!"
A series of loud, rapid explosions emanated from his body, making quite a commotion. It sounded like someone was frying copper peas inside him, or like metal colliding violently.
In his perception, the originally white bones were undergoing a qualitative change, their density was being compressed wildly, and a faint metallic luster appeared on their surface, making them more tough and heavy.
That feeling was like forging pig iron into refined steel through countless hammerings.
Ten minutes later, the pain subsided like a receding tide.
Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath. That breath condensed into a white ribbon in the air, lingering for a long time.
He raised his hand and made a grasping motion in the air.
"Crunch!"
The friction of their knuckles produced a clear and melodious sound, like metal clashing.
"My strength has increased by 100 pounds."
A sharp glint flashed in Lu Sheng's eyes.
Don't be fooled by the fact that it only weighs 100 pounds; this is the most difficult basic strength to improve!
Moreover, the focus of the enhancement is on bone hardness, which means that when he unleashes greater power, his body can withstand that terrifying recoil force.
With the combination of [Strong Muscle Level IV] and [Strong Bones Level I], his body is now like a sophisticated humanoid tank.
Total strength: 4365 jin!
If the Dragon Claw mode is activated, the strength will approach 4500 jin!
It should be noted that the level 6 Abyss Tyrant, which plunged countless people on the Jinling defense line into despair, was only so powerful in terms of pure strength.
He was merely a level 5 Spirit Source User.
"So this is the foundation of the god-level sequence...?"
Lu Sheng stretched his neck, producing a series of popping sounds.
Now that physical fitness has been improved, the next step is to deal with the remaining inventory.
With a thought, the dozen or so elite-level floating corpses piled up in the storage space instantly disappeared, and were all thrown into the [Furnace of All Things].
"Refine!"
[Ding! Refining successful! Obtained 17 Intermediate Spirit Source Crystal Cores!]
Including what he had left before, he now held a total of 3 high-level spirit source crystal cores and 18 mid-level spirit source crystal cores in his hand.
This is a huge sum of money, enough to make any power envious.
Lu Shengxian took out a mid-level spirit source crystal core and tentatively buried it at the root of the Enlightenment Tree in the spirit source space.
"Buzz—"
The few pitiful branches of the Enlightenment Tree trembled slightly, like a starving ghost reincarnated, and instantly devoured the spirit source crystal core, leaving not even a trace.
And then... no more.
Lu Sheng stared at the system panel, his eyelids twitching.
【Enlightenment Tree (Seedling Stage): Activity 4%】
"Hold."
Lu Sheng couldn't help but curse.
A single intermediate-level crystal core increased its activity by 2%?
What a spendthrift!
This isn't planting trees, it's burning money! It's a bottomless pit!
At this rate of consumption, even if he were to spend all his current assets, it would probably just be a small ripple.
Lu Sheng decisively cut his losses.
He's still in his development stage, so every resource needs to be used wisely. Investments that only pay off in the late game should be put on hold for now.
"The rest are mine."
Lu Sheng sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and began frantically absorbing the remaining crystal cores.
Energy surged through his body like a mighty river, and the experience bar on the system panel began to jump slowly but steadily.
The feeling of power gradually filling up is intoxicating.
Half an hour later.
[Spirit Source: Level 5 (800/1200)]
Although he failed to break through to level 6, the tangible sense of improvement put him in a great mood.
Lu Sheng casually opened the attribute panel to check.
[Host: Lu Sheng]
[Spirit Source: Level 5 (800/1200)]
[Body Enhancement: Muscle Strengthening Level IV, Bone Strengthening Level I]
Special Skills: Dragon Eyes, Dragon Scales, Dragon Claws, Dragon Might, Dragon Breath
【Spiritual Source Secret Technique: Dragon Devouring Spear (Weight: 1450 jin)】
[Talent: God-level Sequence - Dragon God (Note: Sequence rating does not represent direct combat strength; strength depends entirely on the individual's level of development!!!)]
[Energy Points:] 1250
[Storage Space]: Bone Sword... (99/100 cubic meters, 1000 energy points to upgrade)
[Spiritual Source Space]: Enlightenment Tree (Seedling Stage; Activity 4%) (Upgrade with 1000 Energy Points)
[Furnace of All Things]: None
Lu Sheng looked at the number and his gaze fell on the upgrade options for the storage space.
The 100 cubic meter space has now been crammed full by his locust-like swarming raid on Zijin Mountain.
As a post-apocalyptic individual suffering from severe fear of insufficient firepower and paranoia about resource shortages, the lack of space caused him more anxiety than the lack of ammunition.
"upgrade!"
[Ding! Storage space successfully upgraded after consuming 1000 energy points!]
[Current volume: 500 cubic meters!]
The next storage space upgrade will require 10000 energy points.
hum!
Lu Sheng felt the space in his mind expand outwards instantly. The originally crowded and overflowing pile of supplies now only occupied a small corner, making it seem exceptionally empty.
What does 500 cubic meters mean?
It's the size of several three-bedroom apartments!
Lu Sheng stroked his chin, and a bold and immoral idea suddenly popped into his head.
"With such a large space, if I encounter an enemy I can't defeat in the future, can I just take a small mountain inside and... use it as a brick to smash things?"
The scene was so beautiful that Lu Sheng couldn't help but laugh out loud just thinking about it.
Just then.
"Mr. Lu! Mr. Lu, are you asleep?"
Suddenly, hurried footsteps and Qin Yue's anxious calls came from outside the tent.
Lu Sheng's smile vanished, and his eyes instantly sharpened.
It's so late, and Qin Yue's voice sounds... very strange.
He zipped up the tent.
Qin Yue stood in the cold wind, her usually aloof and icy face now filled with solemnity, and even a hint of barely perceptible...fear.
"What's wrong?" Lu Sheng asked in a deep voice.
"The General requests your immediate presence on the Zhenyuan." Qin Yue took a deep breath, lowered her voice, and spoke rapidly, "There is urgent business to discuss!"
On the assault boat heading to the Zhenyuan, the sea breeze was as cold as a knife, cutting painfully against my face.
Qin Yue steered the boat without saying a word, her knuckles turning white from the exertion.
Lu Sheng sat at the stern of the boat, looking at the dark sea with a slight frown.
The atmosphere along the way was so eerie.
The number of patrolling soldiers was twice as many as usual, and each of them was fully armed, with a grim expression. Although the muzzles of their guns were facing outwards, the tense killing intent clearly indicated that they were on guard against internal attacks.
"What's the matter?" Lu Sheng broke the silence. "You can't be calling me over at this hour just to invite me for a late-night snack, can you?"
Qin Yue pursed her lips, her voice dry and hoarse, as if squeezed from deep in her throat: "General... is killing people."
