Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

Chapter 20 The Road to Advancement

[Strange Power required to advance to Tier 2: 10000.]

[Current Mysterious Power: 1873]

10,000 points...

Su Ye silently calculated.

According to the three ways of obtaining strange powers through sequence feedback.

The passive accumulation speed of [Contemplating the Blood Moon in the Sky] requires nearly a thousand nights, which is too long.

[Plundering the life force of living beings] has the highest conversion rate, but apart from the grandfather and grandson he initially devoured to fulfill the sequence activation requirement, he doesn't know how much strange power he can gain from devouring a living person.

The efficiency of the "Attack, Hunt, and Devour the Strange" skill is acceptable; at least based on the effectiveness of intercepting the strange beehive this time, it's not bad.

Immediately afterwards, another message appeared:

[Stage-wise enhancement is possible: Every 100 points of Uncanny Power consumed allows for a comprehensive enhancement of the host's physique. This enhancement is cumulative; once 10000 points of Uncanny Power have been accumulated for physique enhancement, the host will automatically advance to the second tier.]

Phased reinforcement?

Su Ye's heart stirred.

This seems to better suit his current needs, as it allows him to improve his strength at any time to deal with crises without delaying his advancement to the second tier, and most importantly, without any extra waste.

"Enhance once."

He confirmed it in his mind.

[Consumes 100 points of Unseen Power.]

[Initial physical enhancement is underway...]

In an instant, the strange power within his body split off into countless thin streams, surging towards his limbs and bones, merging into his bone marrow and fascia. The process was brief, lasting only two or three seconds.

The enhancement is complete.

Su Ye clenched his fist, carefully considering the sensation.

My strength has indeed increased; I feel like I've gained about ten kilograms more.

Overall impression...

It wasn't particularly obvious, but it definitely became stronger.

Perhaps the starting point was too high, which is why the effect of the 100 points of strange power enhancement was not very obvious.

But this enhancement also demonstrates its potential.

One hundred physical enhancements would result in a pure strength increase of one thousand kilograms.

This is just the most obvious aspect; the cumulative improvement in other areas is probably even more significant.

This path of advancement, built with bizarre power, is incredibly costly, but it is a clear one.

His gaze fell again on the moped leaning against the large rock.

A thought arose involuntarily:

Could it be upgraded into a "devouring weapon"?

[Items can be modified into "devouring artifacts".]

Method 1: Imbuing materials with properties and special abilities out of thin air, which consumes a great deal of resources.

Preliminary estimates suggest that transforming the current vessel into a magical artifact with robustness, self-healing properties, or special abilities, with the cost depending on the strength of the granted properties, will require at least 100,000 points of magical power.

[Method Two: Utilize materials containing unique properties and special energy (materials obtained with a chance from defeating monsters or materials corrupted by monster power) to fuse with a carrier. The cost is primarily used to guide the fusion, activate properties, and balance conflicts; the consumption is significantly reduced, starting at 100 points of monster power per fusion.]

Su Ye nodded slowly, understanding.

To create something out of thin air is a near-mythical power, and the price required is currently beyond his reach.

However, given the right "materials," combined with his seemingly specialized "devouring" and "fusion" sequence, creating his own strange artifact would be a piece of cake.

Materials needed...

These are likely items that might be dropped by monsters when they are defeated.

Or special items formed by the influence of strange forces in the natural environment.

However, it's unclear whether the monster will still gain materials after consuming its prey.

There is too little information; we need to decide based on future developments.

He swallowed the last bit of beef, then threw the packaging and empty bottle into the river.

Now that the trash has drifted away with the river, no one will accuse him of littering.

The cool breeze blowing from the riverbank swept over his body, which was covered in strips of cloth, but it did not make him feel cold.

However, he still needs to find some clothes to change into; he's not an exhibitionist...

Su Ye got up and walked towards Chen Shou's tent, intending to ask if there were any spare clothes.

····

Almost from the moment the convoy stopped and set up camp, Li Xiaowei's gaze was fixed on Su Ye, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Or rather, ever since Su Ye caught up with the group and got into the pickup truck bed, her attention had been constantly focused on him.

She saw Su Ye enter Chen Shou's tent with a strip of cloth hanging from her body, and then come out of Chen Shou's tent with the same strip of cloth hanging from her body. She pushed the electric scooter and carried a backpack towards the river.

I also saw him sit down to eat, but he never changed out of the strips of cloth he was wearing, which could hardly be called clothes.

A thought instantly became clear: he had no clothes to change into.

opportunity.

A small, natural, and unintentional opportunity to convey goodwill.

Without hesitation, she took immediate action.

His gaze swept across the camp, quickly locking onto a target.

Ye Fan.

A young man who looks to be about twenty years old was a college student before the apocalypse. He still has some of the student-like air about him and is quite popular in the group.

His "goodness" did not come from force or awakening, but from a peculiar "generosity".

People often approach him and whisper a few words, and he will take out some food or something from his seemingly always full backpack and hand it to them.

What makes him even more special is that he always seems to have good luck.

Every time I participate in a search, I always bring back a lot of things.

When others ran out of food and ammunition, he was able to provide them with some food.

And just when he was about to run out of ammunition and supplies, he always seemed to "coincidentally" encounter new supply points and return fully loaded once again.

Aside from lacking an awakened sequence, he was practically the chosen one of this world, being taken care of by it.

Li Xiaowei walked to Ye Fan's territory, next to a fairly intact car. He had already set up a tent and was boiling water.

She gave a friendly smile:

"Ye Fan, excuse me."

Ye Fan looked up and saw Li Xiaowei, a clear smile appearing on his face:

"Sister Wei, is something the matter?"

"I……

I want to change into a men's outfit, preferably sportswear, and the size is approximately...

She gestured, roughly indicating Su Ye's figure.

"I can trade you something..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Fan turned around and pulled a large backpack from the back seat of the car, rummaging through it.

The backpack was packed full, but he seemed quite familiar with the contents.
