Forty-nine rules of the end times

Chapter 22, page two of the wordless book.

Mind Power Development Academy...

When Guan Tong saw the website notification, she wasn't exactly surprised.

Mental power is key to overcoming the challenges of the apocalyptic rules, a fact that many have surely discovered, making its enhancement crucial.

The fact that the Post-Apocalyptic Rules Countermeasures Research Center is now planning to establish a dedicated academy is actually a sign that the authorities are putting a lot of effort into this matter.

What would be the effect if it were done in an academic format?
Guan Tong wasn't quite sure.

He felt that the academy was more like an organization, an organization that brought together people with high spiritual power.

Whether gathering them together can help individuals accelerate their development and increase their mental power remains to be seen.

Guan Tong himself had no intention of joining in. After dropping out of high school, he realized that he still preferred to be alone and free.

Close the pop-up window and continue viewing the white paper.

The two updated features for personal terminals have been included in the new version of the white paper.

To Guan Tong's surprise, the details of the three newly listed purchasable items in the Shenghua Store were also included in the white paper.

[Basic Weapon Crate - Bronze Level]: Opening this chest allows you to choose one weapon from a total of 32 types of melee weapons. According to tests conducted by professionals in the Countermeasures Research Lab, the selected weapon can be stored and retrieved at any time using the storage box.

The material of this cold weapon is unknown, but its sharpness is comparable to that of man-made weapons. It did not perform particularly well in impact tests.

[Basic Medical Kit - Bronze Level]: The Countermeasures Research Lab conducted a total of 21 opening experiments on this treasure chest. Five times the same medical item was obtained, and the remaining 16 times different medical items were obtained.

The same medical device was used 5 times. It was a "special pain reliever". After taking it, the body will not feel any pain for 2 hours.

Other products include: fast-acting hemostatic aerosol, multi-functional detoxification agents, single-person scanners, nerve accelerators, and so on.

"There are quite a few things that can be found in this box..."

Looking at the long list of medical supplies that could be found in the boxes in the white paper, Guan Tong thought that the Countermeasures Research Office was indeed a well-funded and powerful organization established by the government.

These 21 openings represent a total cost of 1680 Ascension Coins. This is definitely not something one person can afford; it would require a large group of people to contribute.

It's unclear whether these people volunteered, but Guan Tong felt he definitely didn't want to spend 80 Ascension Coins just to provide experimental data.

However, he certainly admires them. Without the efforts of these people, he wouldn't have access to this valuable information. Therefore, if given the opportunity in the future, he would like to make some contribution to the public in any way he can.

He continued reading and also recorded the opening of the food boxes.

[Basic Food Box - Bronze Level]: The Countermeasures Research Lab conducted 12 opening experiments on this treasure chest, and the results were completely consistent across all 12 attempts. Preliminary assessment indicates that this treasure chest contains a fixed item.

The fixed prop is called "All-in-One Vitamin Tablet". According to medical analysis and testing, this food can provide about 24 hours of energy and various nutrients and trace elements needed by the human body.

"This is good."

Guan Tong's eyes lit up when she saw the effects of the "All-in-One Vitamin Tablets".

One of the daily worries for many people is what to eat, how much to eat, what foods are high in nutrients, what foods are low in nutrients, and how to eat the most comprehensive and healthy diet.

The fact that some people get so caught up in this issue that they become anxious speaks volumes.

Now it's great. Just buy a basic food box and take a multivitamin every day, and you don't have to worry about food and nutrition.

This plan is perfect, the only drawback is that it doesn't have any coins.

A basic food box costs 20 Litre Coins. Guan Tong currently only has 100 coins in total. If she buys one every day, she'll run out of coins in less than a week.

"I have a feeling this thing will become a standard item for big shots in the future," Guan Tong thought. "If the production of Ascension Coins increases in the future, or if big shots can amass coins through some means, it will be much more convenient to buy an all-in-one vitamin pill every day than to combine it with any three meals a day."

After reviewing the details of the three items, Guan Tong scrolled down to check the second post-apocalyptic rule. This time, the white paper didn't mention any hidden rules, but it did suggest "flexibly utilizing mental power items can reduce the difficulty of the challenge." In fact, the hidden rule "Mental Victory" is roughly the same idea.

Interestingly, Guan Tong discovered that the white paper also included the results of the world's top three.

When Guan Tong saw the record of "World's No. 1, Shadow, 14 seconds", he felt a little smug.

"I wonder what the third apocalyptic rule will be a month from now."

After closing the white paper, Guan Tong thought to herself.

There's a month until the third rule is released, and that time should definitely be used to improve mental strength.

However, the methods for improvement need to be changed.

For the previous twenty days or so, Guan Tong had been tinkering with the "shadow," conducting all sorts of experiments.

With this, he now knows enough about the "Shadow" and there shouldn't be any new changes in the short term.

So……

"It's time to start a new chapter."

Guan Tong took out the "Wordless Book" and turned to the second blank page.

After he wrote the words "Guan Tong" on the first page, a shadow appeared that was identical to his and could be manipulated by his will.

So what should we write on the second page?

Guan Tong stared at the blank pages of the book, lost in thought.

Thinking of another name? That seems unnecessary...

Putting aside whether writing someone else's name has any effect, even if it does, creating another shadow is not very meaningful.

One shadow is enough.

What should I write about?
Guan Tong hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "There's no use thinking too much. I'll just write down whatever I want most right now."

So the question is, what do I want most right now?
of course!

Guan Tong picked up her pen, concentrated intently, and wrote.

Just like when he wrote his own name before, strong air resistance appeared on the wordless book, preventing him from putting pen to paper.

With the experience gained from writing her name, Guan Tong was able to easily channel her mental energy to counteract the air resistance.

Before long, he was able to write a small "丿" smoothly.

The first stroke he wrote last time was the dot (丶), which is the first stroke of the character "关".

This first stroke, the small "丿", is actually the first stroke of the character "升".

That's right. When Guan Tong asked himself what he wanted most right now, the first thing that popped into his mind was three words: Ascension Coins!
Therefore, he wanted to try writing the three words "Ascension Coin" on the second inner page of the "Wordless Book" within a month.

If finishing the writing really earns you Ascension Coins... Guan Tong can't even imagine how happy she'll be.

If I don't get it after writing it, that's okay.

In any case, writing on the wordless book consumes mental energy, so even if he is at his worst, he can still increase the upper limit of his mental energy through the process of continuous consumption and recovery.

It's worth a try.
