Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The battlefield covered a radius exceeding two hundred kilometers in length. Although it increased the efficiency of the massacre the previous night, it also made the process of cleaning up the battlefield take longer.

After determining that there were no more threats within two hundred kilometers of Hope One, Su Mo did not participate in the process of cleaning up the battlefield.

Recently, he had been sleeping during the day and fighting through the night, which disrupted his biological clock to a certain extent.

This disruption muddled his mind somewhat. This would not be a big deal for the average survivor on the wasteland but, for a leader and decision-maker like Su Mo, the slightest mistake on his part could lead to a big disaster!

Su Mo went back to the captain’s quarters, lay on his soft bed, and drank a large glass of psychic energy water to help him sleep.

Since the system update would have to run for eight more hours, Su Mo sank into a deep sleep.

At this time, the other survivors did not come up to disturb him.

Under the command of Lu Yongyi and the other leaders, the teams scattered all over began to gather and assemble in an orderly manner.

They had reaped a joyful harvest, obtaining tons of supplies from the foreign races as well as hundreds of treasure chests, which they brought with them to the ocean area where Hope One was anchored.

As their vessels could now travel at speeds exceeding 20 knots, any foreign races who they came across would be thoroughly defeated.

The power of humans was currently unprecedented on the ocean.

Su Mo, the one who brought this power to the humans, slept on his bed until 2:30pm.

His eyes glinted with a trace of energy and expectation upon awakening. Six hours of rest was completely sufficient for someone who possessed an extraordinary physique like him.

Since there was no hurry to get up to explore and oversee things, Su Mo lay on the bed and silently called out the game panel.

Unlike before, the game panel now had a timer on the main interface, displaying the time when a new update would start as well as the preview of the update.

When one clicked into the preview, they would see the reminders from the game.

As of the following afternoon, other than the storage space, all other functions of the game panel would be taken offline and would be unavailable for use.

The trading market, chat channels, and even the creation function would all enter a period of downtime for maintenance.

These functions would be offline for fourteen days before the game returned once again with the ‘Real Survival version update!

“That’s a pity. Almost all the survivors have taken down their listings of supplies and resources from the trading market in preparation for their journey to the deep ocean to rebuild their homes.”

“Twanted to acquire some more supplies, but it seems that there is no good opportunity to do so.”

“Nevertheless, it doesn’t matter. Hope Village has done several rounds of purchasing, so the supplies they obtained should be enough to tide us over until our productivity is restored.”

After tapping into the trading market that was about to shut down soon, and doing a careful survey, Su Mo came to this conclusion.

The closing of the trading market would be a heavy blow to most people.

However, the good news was that the Secret Trading Realm would still be open, which gave hope to those who needed to replenish their supplies.

In the current trading market, most things were already priced at a premium. It was not worth buying more than what one needed immediately.

Shaking his head, Su Mo closed the trading market panel and opened his private messages.

snap!

Two messages popped up quickly, one after the other!

After a brief glance, Su Mo’s face could not help but reveal a trace of excitement.

The first message, sent by Chen Shen at 9:30 in the morning, was simple and concise.

First of all, after conducting several rounds of purchases for the week, the entire village had collected all the basic materials required to build the base, as well as certain necessary tools.

From screwdrivers, batteries, construction materials, and other civilization-era electrical appliances, to generators, satellite dishes and hundreds of high-definition cameras; many objects, big and small, were now piled up in Iron Rock Mountain’s warehouses. They even occupied the villagers’ living

spaces.

In addition to this, Hope Village had taken in more than a hundred refugees over the past four or five days.

Although those people were not as skilled as those from the Tundra Fleet, there were 15 retired soldiers among them!

‘Thanks to Pei Shao and Qi Qin’s efforts in convincing them, these people all decided to stay and were now camping temporarily near Iron Rock Mountain.

“Good. Every single retired soldier is a valuable combat asset.”

“Most importantly, if they act as instructors, they can also quickly train the thousand people who will arrive there soon and ensure that they adapt properly to the wasteland environment!”

Su Mo nodded and acknowledged Chen Shen’s decisions. After responding to him with a note of appreciation, Su Mo turned to look at his ongoing conversation with Lu Yongyi.

As of 1.30 pm, only 140,000 people were gathered in the area where Hope One was. More than thirty thousand people were still on the way.

‘The data regarding the resources acquired was being calculated in advance though.

Compared to the previous instance, the number of treasure chests this time decreased, which was in line with Su Mo’s expectations, but the number was still quite considerable!

“Gold Treasure Chests: 42”

“Silver Treasure Chests: 424″

“Bronze Treasure Chests: 2081”

“Iron Treasure Chests: 2209″

“Wooden Treasure Chests: 2480″

‘There were no platinum treasure chests this time, and the number of gold treasure chests had nearly been halved from previously as well. At the same time, the number of silver treasure chests had also greatly decreased. There were two hundred or so less compared to the previous instance.

For the basic treasure chests, the probability of obtaining bronze and iron treasure chests was still the same. The number of these chests was actually higher than last time.

As for the other materials, they had obtained a good haul this time.

After the bombardment of the main naval gun, most of the foreign races were annihilated just by the shockwaves and impact of the resulting blasts, causing various internal injuries.

The outer shells of their bodies, however, did not directly suffer from obvious damage, and were relatively intact compared to the last time.

With just a little tweaking, these shells could be turned into good weapons, armor and equipment, which would make the humans’ foray into the deep sea much more convenient.

Unfortunately, their outer shells were too bulky, and Hope One would not gain much from storing them onboard.

‘Taking into consideration the fact that he already acquired so many treasure chests, Su Mo generously only took about one-twentieth of the outer shells and stored them aboard his ship so that he could study them at the New World.

As for the treasure chests, it was only natural that he would take all of the gold chests.

As for the silver chests, Su Mo opted to leave 200 behind and take 224 chests with him.

In exchange for the small number of gold and silver chests, there was a huge number of bronze and iron chests. There were about two thousand chests each!

Judging by Su Mo’s contribution, he had every reason to take more than three-fifths of these. Even if he took four-fifths of the chests, the survivors would still think that it was reasonable.

However, after considering the balance that the game was seeking to establish, Su Mo gave up on this dangerous idea and chose to share them.

The entire process of getting up, washing up, and putting on his combat uniform was done in one go.

After receiving a message from Lu Yongyi that all the gold treasure chests had arrived, Su Mo took two steps forward and pushed open the door of the captain’s quarters!

Nearly seven hours had passed since the morning’s battle, and it could be seen that the current ocean had slowly regained its normal color.

‘The wind was soothing and the surface of the ocean was undulating slightly.

Most of the returning survivors were lying lazily on the raft to rest and recover their strength, like worker bees resting after a day of hard work.

After finding the right route to avoid disrupting their rest, Su Mo quickly paddled a boat toward Tundra One. As the leader of the fleet, he announced the distribution of the treasure chests.

Lu Yongyi was both surprised and happy when he heard Su Mo’s generous decision. He immediately wanted to treat him to a nice meal.

“All right, Leader Lu, go take a break! It seems that busy people like us won’t have time to enjoy this nice meal!”

Laughing, Su Mo quickly collected the gold treasure chests that had been collected by the crew!

He was full of expectations regarding the magic carpet, which was an item that only existed in people’s imaginations and in movies.

This was a hundred times more appealing than a nice meal!

Noticing Su Mo’s anxiousness, Lu Yongyi also did not dare to ask him to stay longer. He immediately smiled and sent Su Mo off.

The trip back and forth only took five minutes, but he now had 42 gold treasure chests in his storage space!

Combined with the 21 remaining from last time, he had enough for six consecutive ten-draws. He would definitely get that last component of the magic carpet!

“Tell everyone to not bother me later. I want to do an experiment.”

Leaving his boat behind, Su Mo shouted at Zhang Long, who was standing at the door. Su Mo took quick steps, almost running, to the captain’s quarters.

‘The next second, he closed the door of the captain’s quarters and swept away all of the items cluttering the table.

With a thought, all of the treasure chests began to appear one by one.

The components of the magic carpet that he had previously acquired, which were pieces 1, 2, 3, and 5, also appeared on the ground beside him.

“Game, we’re good friends, aren’t we? You should give me something nic’

“Magic carpet, please! I want it so badly I’m going to cry!”

Even if it was probably pointless, Su Mo still muttered that sentence under his breath. Next, he picked up a chest and started his first ten-draw.

Tsk.

The results of the first ten-draw were not surprising at all. After shining brightly upon opening, the golden light extinguished soon after like a deflated balloon.

Even the second ten-draw did not escape this fate and ended up with exactly the same results.

Su Mo had naturally expected these results, so he did not panic.

He picked up the batch of chests for the third ten-draw, caressed the latches on all the chests, and gave them a gentle push. However, he still did not receive what he was looking for!

At this point, three of the six ten-draws had been used up!

Su Mo had only three chances left. A fine layer of sweat seeped covered his forehead, an obvious sign of his nervousness.

For some people, the feeling one got while gambling was the pinnacle of enjoyment.

For a cautious person like Su Mo though, he instinctively resisted the urge to rush things, regardless of how thrilling it might be!

“This is already the fourth chance. Be a decent person and give it to me!”

Reciting Magoo’s name in his heart, Su Mo reached out to the treasure chests in front of him and wrenched them open ruthlessly. However, the result was still “touching”.

This time the golden light dispersed even faster than the first time. It meant that the quality of the items inside would not be high.

Judging from his current streak of luck, the fourth component might not be acquired even from the fifth and sixth draws.

“Forget about it! I’ve done four ten-draws already, so why not try a twenty-three-draw this time?”

“If I’m going to fail, I might as well go out with a bang!”

While saying those ominous words, Su Mo did not stop moving his hands. He sat down on the floor and unlocked the latches of all the remaining chests. Next, he took out two sticks and threaded them through the unlocked latches.

With a gentle push, all twenty-three treasure chests could be opened at the same time.

This was something only a mad, rich man would do. Although people had definitely done so before him, this was something that the current batch of survivors would not have dared to imagine!

“Give it to me…. Open!”

He exerted force. With his extraordinary physique, the weight of more than twenty chests was nothing to him.

After lifting a third of the lids, Su Mo’s face was beaming with a smile!

‘The next second, with a little more force, all the treasure chest lids instantly flipped over.

Wow!

Along pillar of golden light, several times thicker than the previous rays of light, appeared in front of Su Mo’s eyes with a bang!
