369: Chapter 368 Biological Space Oscillation

It was evening.

Chu Xuan had finished his recuperation and refilled his health points to 2045 using recovery potions.

Meanwhile, Su Qiaoqiao and Xu Shuya drove a military truck and parked it right by the backyard pond.

By now, everyone had long since sobered up. Chu Xuan took out the greed tank and filled everyone's cups with life essence again. He drank and added attribute points while checking the equipment Su Qiaoqiao and the others had brought over.

As a layer of military-green canvas was pulled back, six large silver-gray metal boxes appeared before everyone's eyes.

Xu Shuya was the first to open one of the metal boxes. Inside was an exaggeratedly designed rocket launcher and four cylindrical rockets, all silver-gray.

"This is the Guowei-88 Individual Rocket Launcher, jointly developed by the Research Department and the military. It's equipped with four rockets filled with CL-205 high-energy explosives, which can be loaded and fired in succession."

Xu Shuya lifted a launcher. The front of the tube had four deep grooves, which seemed to be where the rockets were loaded.

"The density of this high-energy explosive is about 2 grams per cubic centimeter, and each rocket weighs 100 kilograms," Xu Shuya said, discussing the parameters.

"Tests show its maximum range can reach 2.5 kilometers, and the blast radius of the shockwave can exceed 250 meters."

"The deflagration effect at the center can instantly kill a Transcendent with less than 60 stamina points in a direct hit. It can cause severe damage to those with less than 70 stamina. Only those with 80 stamina points can withstand such a rocket, but they'd still lose a layer of skin."

Hearing Xu Shuya's explanation, Pang Hu's eyes lit up immediately.

"There's actually such good stuff? 80 stamina points—that's the level of a Rank 8 Transcendent with maxed-out stamina! If four rockets are fired and hit in succession, wouldn't even someone with 80 stamina points be taken down?"

"Theoretically, yes." Xu Shuya nodded first, then shook her head. "But there's a prerequisite: it must be a direct hit."

"Although this has been developed, it hasn't been mass-produced yet. Breakthroughs in core technology are one thing, but on the other hand, Specters mostly hide in densely populated urban areas, making it inconvenient to use."

"Moreover, Specter abilities are strange and diverse, and they can even exploit rules. Whether it can even hurt a Specter is one thing, but it will definitely cause large-scale casualties and panic, and might even hurt ourselves."

Saying this, Xu Shuya raised the seemingly heavy rocket launcher and continued:

"This type of weapon has extremely high requirements for the user. Bringing it into a city, if used by an ordinary person or a low-Rank Transcendent, once a Specter finds a flaw and counterattacks, it's no different from seeking one's own doom."

"Even high-Rank Transcendents are rarely willing to carry such a potential threat at all times. In comparison, relying on one's own skills and items is more reliable."

While speaking, Xu Shuya put the rocket launcher back into the box.

"This set of equipment costs over five hundred spirituality values for System certification. It seems it can only be carried by hand."

Pang Hu fiddled with it for a bit, frowning at first, then broke into a smile. "But now that we have Spatial Rings, it's completely different. Both the surprise effect and mobility can be greatly guaranteed."

Chu Xuan took out two Spatial Rings and found that the cracks were increasing. They seemed like they could shatter at any moment. "They're about to give out. They might not last until we enter the Tianxing Mountains tomorrow."

"Let me try to repair them. My Mental Energy has improved by leaps and bounds, reaching 70 points. I should be able to produce some effect on item-based objects like these," Tan Ziming said, attempting to use his Talent to fix the Spatial Rings.

Chu Xuan nodded slightly.

Tan Ziming took the two Spatial Rings. As his palm glowed with a faint, crystalline white light, the cracks on the rings began to slowly vanish, miraculously starting to recover.

Soon, with Tan Ziming's forehead drenched in sweat, the last trace of the cracks on the two rings disappeared completely, as if they were restored to their original state.

"This thing is really tough to fix, but fortunately, it had some effect..." Tan Ziming smiled, but before he could finish, the smile froze on his face.

Because on both rings, a tiny crack appeared again at the same time.

Chu Xuan said thoughtfully in a low voice, "It seems the shattering of these two Spatial Rings is inevitable. Perhaps only entering the Tianxing Mountains through the spatial portal again can stop this process."

"It's fine." Tan Ziming grit his teeth. "At worst, I'll just repair them again every once in a while."

Pang Hu said excitedly, "If that's the case, we can successfully bring them in. Then we can slaughter everything in our path. This is basically equivalent to an instant-cast area-of-effect Transcendent Skill."

Su Qiaoqiao smiled. "Exactly. It might be a bit lacking against high-level combatants in there, but for clearing out trash mobs, the effect is excellent."

Chu Xuan's brow twitched slightly. "Is there no weapon suitable for me?"

"There is, but it'll be a bit later." Su Qiaoqiao gave a mysterious smile. "Boss Chu, that's a lethal weapon I used your name and family connections to have secretly sent over."

"Oh?" Chu Xuan's heart stirred; he was actually quite looking forward to it.

The group chatted while slowly drinking the Elf Race high-grade life essence Chu Xuan had gifted them.

The rich aroma of the wine wafted around the pond, filled with the vitality of life.

Even the surrounding plants and trees began to grow rapidly in a short period.

Everyone saw improvements.

Especially Lin Jie, whose attributes and Rank were the lowest here; he gained the most.

But correspondingly, he was also the least able to handle his liquor. After just one cup, his face turned bright red, and his speech became slurred.

Then, with a thud, he collapsed drunk to the side.

"Haha—"

Tan Ziming and the others burst into laughter, letting out alcoholic burps, but before long, they followed suit.

The temptation of the life essence was simply too great, making it hard to resist another cup, but the result was obvious: they quickly passed out drunk.

Perhaps because his Physique had strengthened further after consuming the savage blood fruit, Chu Xuan only felt a slight buzz after drinking seven cups this time.

Eventually, even Chu Xuan had to start drinking slowly.

He finally drank five more cups, totaling twelve cups, about two and a half catties. In the end, his eyes inevitably began to blur.

Correspondingly, the more life essence he drank, the less his stamina, spirit, and extra health points increased, far less than the gains from the first time.

Later on, Chu Xuan had to drink three full cups for his stamina to increase by 1 point, and his spirit attribute reached a point where each cup only gave 1 point, becoming slower and slower.

Fortunately, Chu Xuan had plenty of life essence.

After twelve cups, Chu Xuan's stamina increased by 5 points, and his spirit attribute increased by 12 points.

As for his maximum health points, they increased steadily. Although the increments decreased as he drank more, by the end of the twelve cups, they had still increased by 215 points.

By now, Chu Xuan's stamina attribute had reached 157 points, his spirit attribute reached 159 points, and his maximum health points had reached 2310 points.

His strength and agility attributes remained unchanged at 153 and 145 points, respectively.

It was now late at night. Tan Ziming and the others were still passed out, snoring softly like ordinary people.

Chu Xuan, however, could not allow himself to pass out.

He had to maintain a certain level of sobriety, just in case an enemy attacked.

It wasn't until several more hours had passed that Chu Xuan's eyes regained their clarity, and he began to drink again.

By now, the aroma of the wine had permeated everywhere.

The flowers and grass throughout the garden began to grow wildly, as if nourished by the purest aura of life.

Right then, Chu Xuan suddenly felt something and noticed his biological space was vibrating.

At the same time, a System notification appeared—

[Your biological space is vibrating. The life being nurtured inside has expressed a strong desire to come out. Do you agree to release it?]
