My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

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!”

There was still one tinder remaining in the mysterious ruins.

Based on the description, this tinder might have been the rocket and satellite left behind from phase three of the project.

If this rocket could be obtained and fixed, all that he needed was.

“The signature of a god. That’s the one thing I lack right now. However, I officially hold the position of the wasteland’s God of the Kitchen, as well as the rights of the Oracle of the God of the Ocean. Oreo holds the position of a pseudo god as well.

“If nothing goes wrong, all that’s necessary is for me to board this rocket and fly up there...”

Su Mo’s enhanced constitution meant that his brain had become even more alert.

Neurons fired rapidly as all the information pieced itself together into a clear sequence of thought.

‘The Wasteland God of the Ocean was hidden in an ocean of stars up in the heavens. A phase three rocket could fly straight into the clouds and enter that mysterious domain.

Now, all that was left to do was to follow the clues, find the location, fix the rocket, and perhaps even enhance it!

When the time came, and he boarded the rocket, heaven and earth would no longer hold him. It was imperative for him to find the God of the Ocean!

Phew.

‘As Su Mo heaved a long, relieved sigh and gazed at the azure ocean outside, he felt a wave of happiness wash over him.

Taking into consideration that he only had two days to use the Oracle of the God of the Ocean’s experience card, he did not delay any longer.

Su Mo strode back into the cockpit.

“OS, import the location points that are on this map and set them as navigation point number four.

“After they have been successfully imported, use our current location as the starting point to calculate how far navigation point number four is from here!”

Naturally, Su Mo was not about to waste his time drawing diagrams and calculating the distance himself since there was a convenient program to do so.

‘When he finished speaking, the map began automatically enlarging the starting point. As the OS worked, a small blue dot began blinking on the map.

Once a line of data scrolled down the side screen, a distance measuring tool resembling a straightedge ruler appeared on the main map.

[Captain Su Mo, you are currently about 1335 kilometers away from the designated location. Based on Hope One’s current speed, it will take 21 hours to arrive at the destination.]

“Twenty-one hours?

“In that case, it will take over forty hours just to make a round trip. If we add in some delays, it will take about three days...”

Su Mo quietly made some estimations as he retrieved his storage space and conducted an analysis of the pros and cons while still staring at the blinking blue light.

Hope One could rapidly sail over to the location, and it would not take up too much time.

However, the subsequent rocket launch would let everyone know that Su Mo had taken the rocket up alone. There would be human witnesses.

If the game investigated further after that, it would be a hassle to cover this up even if the OS helped to conceal the truth.

However, if he were able to bring only Oreo with him, he could leave the relevant information behind and seal the main deck.

His disappearance for several days would not seem like a long time for these passionate crew members who were so invested in planning and their work.

Perhaps by the time they realized anything, Su Mo might already have returned to the ship.

“Perhaps that epic-quality conveyance from the previous game reward—the Sun-chaser Speedboat—might be a good choice.

“Epic-quality means that speed is guaranteed, and a speedboat can guarantee stealth. Might as well summon it and study its properties before making a decision.”

After deciding this, Su Mo turned off the map that the OS displayed.

He felt irresolute, but in the end, he headed out of the cockpit. Wending through the corridor, he made his way to the area of the ship which led to the estuary.

The speedboat was stored in an area that was still considered storage space.

Even if the game underwent an update right now, he would still be able to retrieve the speedboat for use.

Su Mo opened the hatch to the estuary and let down the life raft. After he nimbly jumped out, the game panel appeared and switched over to the storage space interface.

‘As Su Mo made his selections, a streak of light began rapidly flashing across the surface of the ocean.

‘The Sun-chaser Speedboat, which had been stored in the reward space, also began to appear on the ocean.

It looked like someone was playing with building blocks; what appeared first was only the bottom of the speedboat.

Pieces of material that looked like steel, and yet like wood as well began collecting on the ocean and layering themselves on top of each other.

Based on the speedboat’s base, it was not going to be a small-sized craft.

Just the length alone was around thirteen meters or so, which meant it would fall into the category of medium-sized speedboats.

Its height gradually began revealing itself as the “building blocks” sped up.

There were a total of two decks on the boat. The bottom deck had three partitioned rooms, whereas the top one was a large viewing platform to observe things from a distance away!

At the ship’s bow was a cabin outfitted with controls that were both sporty and luxurious.

Of course, compared to business-class barges that often had hundreds of feet of space and were equipped with dozens of rooms, the Sun-chaser speedboat was much smaller and far less luxurious.

However, these measurements were the exact size that Su Mo wanted!

It meant the speedboat was stealthy and... concealable!
