The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 13: The Hercules' Curse, the Extraordinary Alliance

Xu Shu touched his chin and marveled.

This upgraded driver opened an upgraded network, which turned out to be a webpage similar to a chat forum.

This was indeed somewhat unexpected.

After all, in this era, everything involving "signals" has been destroyed by mobile phones, computers and the like during the catastrophe.

"Is this interface, like the Taichu Volume, only I can see it?"

Xu Shu observed for a while, and then discovered the difference through the mirror next to him.

Different.

totally different.

This computer interface-like thing opened by the upgraded driver can not only be seen in the mirror, but also feels like real particles when touched. It really exists;

The [Taichu Scroll] that he also opened was illusory and mysterious. It could not be seen with the naked eye or anything else. Only he could perceive and control it.

In this comparison, it is obvious that the Taichu volume appears to be much more mysterious and private.

If you want to upgrade the network, you can only turn it on when there is no danger at all, and preferably when no one else is around.

"In other words, this upgrade drive is a bit like a supercomputer. In addition to being an auxiliary tool for containing the curse seal, it also has the function of a chat communication tool.

"The Human Superhuman Alliance? That's too much. These days, ordinary people can't even surf the Internet. They have to become superhumans first before they can surf the Internet!"

Xu Shu understood immediately.

It might take time for people born after the first year of the new calendar to get the hang of this thing, but to him, it looks very familiar.

If it were in his previous life, at this point in time, he would most likely be lying on his side on the bed, browsing Tieba forums or something.

"And this identity is quite interesting... Gu Pan? Female? So this is his real name?"

The image of Gu Qian suddenly appeared in Xu Shu's mind, with fair skin, red lips, white teeth, slender legs and a slim waist.

Is he really a woman?
It was concealed so well that even the Adam's apple was faked, leaving no flaws at all.

Xu Shu sighed twice, thinking that it seemed that every upgraded driver issued to them by the Control Bureau was a copy for each person, with their identity information entered separately.

Regarding this real-name authentication, Xu Shu could only say.

Are you here to be funny?
Judging from the phrase “identity verification is correct”, the Control Bureau does not have much authority over this upgraded network.

They only have the ability to "manufacture and issue upgrade drives."

Could it be that the Administration Bureau was not the creator of the upgraded network, but merely inherited the precious legacy left by its predecessors?

"Well, this is actually good news for me. At least I don't have to worry about being convicted by the authorities for stealing that woman's upgrade drive."

Xu Shu smacked his lips, then reached out and clicked on the name, which was [Gu Pan].

In the next section, he saw the upgraded drive on his chest slowly emitting light, and it seemed that an electric current was passing through his body, which made him shiver, but he felt a little relieved afterwards.

The screen entered the personal information interface, and a circle appeared spinning:

[Scanning your curse seal...]

[It is detected that your curse is a dual-professional curse, and it is undergoing in-depth testing...]

Zizizi~
Suddenly, Xu Shu was shocked several times inside his body. The electric current entered from his chest and drilled around inside, making him feel numb and tingling. He couldn't help but feel the urge to urinate.

As he had just finished his shower and hadn't changed his clothes yet, he walked to the sink in front of him and continued to watch the progress of the upgraded network screen while running water:

[Your curse information has been scanned. You can check it on the personal information interface later.]

[When you activate the upgrade driver for the first time, you can have the one-time appearance customization function]

[Appearance: It is recommended that you choose an appearance that is easy to carry and suitable for hiding. The upgrade drive will change the appearance and cannot be changed after selection (Hint: For example, rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, glasses, etc., which are convenient to carry and not easy to lose)
[Please note: If you lose it accidentally, you can report it to the Astronomical Association and reissue it at your own expense for the first time; if you lose it twice, you will be included in the Level 3 warning list; if you lose it three times, you will face trial by the Judgment Department, so please be careful and cautious. ]

"Astronomy Club?"

Xu Shu scratched his head and searched the knowledge in his mind.

Got nothing.

He didn't know what it was.

【Please specify the appearance...】

The cursor on the screen flickered. Apparently, this was a step similar to a tutorial for beginners, and it could not be skipped. One had to define the appearance first before returning to the main interface.

"Appearance, use a ring?"

Xu Shu thought about it and was not very satisfied.

If you want to carry it with you, not lose it easily, and want it to be easy to hide, I feel that none of the ones it recommends are very good.

Things like earrings and glasses are too easy to lose, but rings, bracelets, etc. always feel like they are saying "this thing is very special" when you take them out.

It needs to be hidden, and it’s best to store it close to your body and not take it off easily!

After Xu Shu finished peeing, he shook himself clean and lowered his head to look at his crotch, and suddenly an idea came to him.

"Well, if we're talking about concealment and difficulty in losing it..."

So he typed the command on the screen:

"Customized appearance: men's underwear!"

"Zizzizi~"

As he input the information, the upgraded drive in his chest began to vibrate violently, and another stream of electricity was injected into his body.

"Ahhh!"

This time the current was much higher than the voltage before, and it lasted for several minutes, shocking Xu Shu so much that his hair stood on end. Finally, a prompt appeared on the screen: "The shape is complete."

Then, the upgraded drive changed with a click, and fell off his chest, turning into a very fashionable and avant-garde pair of men's underwear, which fell into Xu Shu's hand. It was dark in color, felt good, and had a soft and smooth texture, which fit him very well. There was a faint light flashing on the surface, proving its extraordinaryness.

The switch button for opening the "Upgrade Network" interface is designed on the front side. You can quickly turn it on by just pushing it forward intentionally.

This was Xu Shu's little idea. In this way, he could, like in his previous life, just turn his phone on and off by moving his waist slightly while lying on the bed and browsing on it. It was very convenient.

"Yeah, very good."

When Xu Shu put on the "Super Underwear", he felt that it was extremely close-fitting, soft and silky. It was the most comfortable and best quality underwear he had ever worn.

"Huh? There's one more thing."

When Xu Shu opened the upgraded network interface again, he found something different from before.

*【Upgrade Network】

*【Gu Pan, first-level warrior】

*【Contribution: 0】

……

In the top column, there is an additional level displayed after his account name.

"First-level warrior? What is this?"

"There seemed to be a reminder just now that the curse information can be viewed in personal information."

Xu Shu pointed his finger at [Gu Pan, first-level warrior]

The screen jumped and something like a character attribute chart appeared.

-

【Looking back】

[Level: First Order]

[Career Path Determination: Lux]

[Curse Seal: Hercule (Legend) Level: 1/20]

-

You can click on the location of the curse seal to view details:

[Entry 1: Alien Black Widow (Epic)]

* Talents: Architecture Mastery, Silk Spinning

[Entry 2: Hercules: Heart of Steel (Legend)]

* Talents: Thick skin, strong strength, perseverance

*Tip: For dual-class curse judgment, the final class is determined by the highest-grade entry.

-

"Thick skin, strong strength, perseverance, and the ability to spin silk are the abilities I have acquired... What on earth is this mastery of architecture?

"Damn it, why do I have the urge to go to the construction site and move bricks? Is this the confidence that my mastery of architecture brings me?"

While Xu Shu was looking at the introduction of the curse on the interface, he closed his eyes and felt the knowledge appearing in his mind.

This kind of knowledge seemed to be directly poured into his brain, and his memory was deeply rooted.

The "character panel" that appears in the upgraded network helps him to display himself so that he can be seen and expressed intuitively.

"Although it is a dual-professional curse seal, the abilities seem very plain and simple. It cannot spray water or fire."

Xu Shu clicked to return to the main interface.

【World Chat: Online 9999+】

This number made him feel a sense of power and security.

There are so many extraordinary people in the human race, it seems that the human race is still very prosperous. Even though now is the end of the world with so many disasters, human beings should be able to survive time and time again like they did in history, right?

After thinking about it, Xu Shu set his sights on the pinned must-read for newbies and clicked on it obediently.

[Human Supernatural Alliance (Newbies must read)]——(Melanie, fourth-level Dongxuan Zhenjun)

Xu Shu knew that behind the name were the level and curse profession.

"The host's profession is obviously Dongxuan Zhenjun, and he seems to be a Taoist priest, so why does he have a foreign name?"

"Foreign Taoist Priest?"

Xu Shu shook his head, put aside all distractions, and carefully looked through the must-sees for novices.

It doesn't contain much, just a few lines of text, like this:

*Newcomers, you only have one chance to set a nickname. You can freely choose to use your real identity or nickname each time you speak, which will help you protect yourself.

*You can speak only if you are level 12 or above.

*Don't accept friend requests from strangers casually, and don't easily agree to team up with others, as you will not share team members' positions in the team channel.

*If you see extraordinary people of the following three professions, be sure to treat them with caution: aliens, demons, and evil spirits; remember that they are no longer human.

*The human situation is very difficult. The safe zone is not absolutely safe. If you want to survive, go and fight monsters and level up. Monsters are not difficult to find, they are everywhere.

*May the array bless you.
