The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 41: Authority, Speculation, and Promotion (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

After viciously locking up this bunch of stupid patrolmen, Xu Shu finally felt a lot more at peace.

It would be better if half of the people died. It is really the opposite of "excessive joy leads to sorrow". Excessive sorrow leads to joy.

As expected of patrolmen, they know how to regulate their emotions.

Happiness is difficult to obtain.

As for Guanguan and the others, since the environment is closed, they should be able to calm down quickly, and their sad emotions will soon turn into fear and uneasiness, so then there won't be any big problems.

So for the rest of the day, Xu Shu planned not to go out again and just stay in prison, waiting for the Taichu volume to be refreshed tomorrow.

Although there were a few small holes in the wall, they were not serious.

Originally, the patrolmen suggested that they could first go to a shelter about five kilometers west of here.

When they came, they actually received news that people were trapped in a small shelter about 30 kilometers to the north.

But the old map shows that there is also a shelter to the west of this place.

As for the current situation, it would be best to choose the nearest shelter and make arrangements first.

But Xu Shu decisively refused.

He didn't say a word to anyone about the reason and gave them the right to choose.

I still say, if you want to leave, you can go by yourself. I won’t stop you, so don’t expect me to follow you.

As the only extraordinary person present at the moment, Xu Shu has absolute authority and what he says is what counts.

If they are told to lock them up, they are locked up. If they are told not to leave, they are not to leave.

Although the patrolmen were puzzled, this time, none of them suggested leaving first.

Without a supernatural being leading the team, they actually wouldn't dare to run around in the wasteland.

That's a matter of gambling your life on whether the monsters nearby are full and have no appetite.

Compared to that, it is better to be locked up here. At least this boy is not a bad person, he just has a slightly weird personality.

So, one by one, they all obediently went into the cell and stayed there.

Of course, these patrolmen are not criminals after all.

Xu Shu kindly distributed water and food to everyone.

"Oh, sir, is there a toilet?" a patrolman asked embarrassedly.

"Go away, no, you can't pull it off the ground, pick it up and throw it away?"

"Ah?" The patrolman's face turned green. Do you want me to pick up shit?
"Think about it yourself." Xu Shu was too lazy to pay attention to him, but kindly threw some old newspapers to each cell.

"..."

After his request was rejected, the man in the cell's face froze, but he thought that dying of stench was better than suffocating, and he could always pick it up and throw it out of the window if he endured it, so he gave up.

In fact, Xu Shu did have a convenient toilet, but there was only one, and there were so many people here that it was difficult to divide it, so it was better not to divide it.

As for the toilet, of course there is one in the washroom.

But there is only one pit that can be used normally, and the others are blocked. They will be blocked when flushing. If you pull the water in there, the water will overflow. The scene is so beautiful that I dare not even imagine it.

And the only usable pit is a toilet, which requires you to sit on it with your buttocks pressed against the toilet seat.

So Xu Shu certainly would not allow any male other than himself to use it.

He was even a little reluctant to give it to Gu Pan.

Because this guy only has a pretty face and a nice figure, but in reality, he is just rotten inside, and his shit stinks extremely bad.

Xu Shu really disliked her.

Unlike myself, it seems that after becoming a superhuman, my feces no longer have any odor.

Sure enough, this is the difference between extraordinary people and ordinary people. For extraordinary people, even their shit smells good.

On the other side, seeing this, Gu Pan couldn't help but pat his chest, feeling relieved.

Fortunately, I was smart and went to the toilet when I came back just now, so I don’t have this trouble now.

As for peeing...

She quickly looked under the bed and found that the soup bowl was still there.

"Haha, it's me as expected."

Gu Pan was now completely relieved.

After Xu Shu closed the cell door and eliminated all uncertainties, he immediately returned to the small warehouse.

The medical kit was also brought back.

None of the patrolmen touched the few truly precious and valuable items.

Especially the resurrection pill that was said to cost at least one million, they all returned it to Xu Shu.

This is a huge sum of money worth over a million. Money is tempting, so they dare not touch it. Even though they were "friends of life and death" in the battle just now, they still see things clearly.

Xu Shu naturally accepted it, as it was the spoils of war that he deserved.

As for the spoils, what Xu Shu liked most was not the most valuable Resurrection Pill, but the three ready-made Erosion Crystals.

The resurrection pill is completely useless to him. It is just valuable money. It takes a process to transform money into strength.

And erosion crystals are something that can instantly improve your strength!
Three crystals appeared at once, and they were all very high levels, two level 9 and one level 10.

Xu Shu estimated that if he continued at his original speed, it would take at least two or three simulated journeys before he could safely obtain these crystals.

Now it is equivalent to saving a day of simulation. How can he not be happy?

"I don't know how many levels I have to upgrade to learn new skills?"

The super strong defense of the special skill [Jingwei] made Xu Shu a little addicted to it, and he wished he could have a few more similar skills as soon as possible.

After he was ready, he took out the erosion crystals from the package, stuffed them all into his underwear, and let himself upgrade his drive to absorb them.
I felt the heat exploding in my lower abdomen and surging throughout my body. It first collapsed inward and gathered at my heart, and then flowed out from the inside, penetrating every part of my limbs and bones.

"Hiss~Ah~" Xu Shu howled.

It hurts.

The pores on his body opened rapidly, spurting out black blood.

This is not the first time, but the pain of being eroded is still unbearable.

It seems that unlike taking medicine which will become ineffective if taken too much, using erosion crystals will not make the human body develop the so-called "erosion resistance".

"Strange, the painful feeling is gradually deepening, and it's even more painful than the last time it escalated."

"The more you level up, the harder it is to improve further?"

"If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid I would have to stop here."

"Fortunately, I have a title!"

Sit-ups, start!
Xu Shu lay on the bathroom floor and moved quickly.

He was in pain and excited.

……

Time passed minute by minute, and as the power that corroded the crystals was completely devoured, he felt his body's strength return.

"Let me see how many levels I've upgraded."

Xu Shu put on his clothes, lay down on the bed, adjusted himself into a comfortable position, thrust his hips into the air, and started the upgrade drive.

The light curtain in front of him condensed, unfolding the interface that he had gradually become familiar with.

*【Upgrade Network】

*[Gu Pan (Taichu), first-level warrior]

*【Contribution: 11】

-

"Hey, the contribution is still 11 points, the same as before."

"Killing the wanted criminal Lu Bingwei did not add any contribution to my career..."

“It seems that Lu Bingwei is only being hunted by the Astronomical Society, which does not mean that he is wanted by the entire Shengge network.

"Tsk, what is this second-level authority of the Astronomy Association? The authority is so small! It doesn't even have the authority to delete posts or view the other party's hidden true identity. It's rubbish.

"If I had more authority, I wouldn't just let Lu Bingwei use the nickname [Ba Wang Qiang] to troll the Internet, and I could only secretly diss him through comments.

"The Ascension Network doesn't seem to favor it as the righteous party at all. It's a bit pitiful. I thought the Astronomy Society would be more noble, but I didn't expect it to be nothing in front of the Ascension Network..."

"That can't be said. The Astronomical Society is the highest-level organization of mankind. If it weren't for the Astronomical Society and the Governing Bureau supporting it after the catastrophe, human society would have collapsed into the Stone Age.

"I can only say that the formation is too vast and unpredictable. This is simply the way of heaven."

Xu Shu shook his head and laughed.

Through this incident, he once again verified his original conjecture.

——The upgraded network does not belong to anyone.

As the true master of the Upgraded Network, [Array] may be just like the way of heaven, not caring about the so-called good and evil in the world. It is even very likely that it is not a human being, but an extraordinary intelligent computer. After all, the Upgraded Network is really like an online game.

In other words, in this array, He stands on the side of all mankind, and only killing monsters will be recognized as a contribution by Him;
As for the internal fighting among human beings, He does not care at all. Good and evil have no meaning to Him.

No matter whether you are evil or chivalrous, He doesn't care!

He only recognizes the broad concept of "human beings".

"Ha, isn't this what they mean when they say, Heaven and Earth are ruthless and treat all things as straw dogs! Saints are unkind and treat the people as straw dogs!" (Note 1)

It is said that the upgraded network and array appeared when mankind was about to perish in the year of the great catastrophe.

The great sages, with their own strength, turned the tide, propped up the collapsing building, and stabilized the decline of mankind.

Afterwards, he left after his work was done, hiding his achievements and fame.

After that, arrays and upgraded networks appeared, and the Astronomical Society came into being. By constantly studying the uses of the upgraded network, the current Human Supernatural Alliance was eventually formed.

In other words, supercomputers and super networks like these arrays were most likely created by some ancient sage?
"To be able to do such a great deed, this person is only one level weaker than me who possesses the [Taichu Scroll]."

Thinking of this, Xu Shu pondered for a moment, then clicked on his property details page to check the specific situation.

"Tsk, why is it only level 2?"

Xu Shu was not satisfied.
