Chapter 237: Gold Airdrop! Material Transformation!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Wow, Master, look! Something’s falling from the sky!”

Moore, who was not yet fully awake, opened his eyes wide when he saw the airdrop reward box arrive.

From the perspective of a Lightning Bear warrior, everything was food, regardless of whether it was flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water!

Seeing the “food” arrive, Moore’s eyes glowed. He looked up, estimated the airdrop box’s landing point, and then started running toward it, wanting to grab the “food” as soon as possible!

Seeing Moore’s excited expression, Su Mo also followed behind him at a rapid pace toward the falling airdrop.

Previously, he acquired an excavator from an ordinary airdrop reward, which was extremely useful during this welfare disaster.

The reward also contained the pointer he used to find his sister. This was why Su Mo’s heart was filled with anticipation for the gold-level airdrop reward that he was about to receive.

“I hope to receive some equipment that will help me survive the upcoming flood disaster and not some random household items!”

Moor leapt up, grabbing the airdrop box in mid-air, and landed on the ground with a look of glee on his face. Su Mo was also infected by his excitement and could not help but smile, patting Moore’s shoulder.

“Calm down, it contains supplies, not food.”

Seeing Moore’s expression falter when he said those words, Su Mo laughed and took the box from Moore.

The exterior appearance of the airdrop box was the same as it was before. There was still a large No.1 printed on the side, but this time the color of the letters was an extravagant gold, making it seem very expensive.

The structure of the box had a little more weight to it, seemingly no longer made of cardboard but instead some hard, plastic-like, material that was smooth to the touch.

Holding the box with apprehension, Su Mo returned to the shelter, descended two flights of stairs, and headed back to the workbench.

There was no rush to open the box. After placing the box in a secure location, Su Mo walked over to the stove, started a fire, and boiled some water.

In the various xianxia novels on Earth, it was customary for one to do this before opening a treasure box…

Burning incense and taking a bath!

Su Mo knew that they were merely superstitious customs, but now that the Underground Shelter was sufficiently equipped. Su Mo did not want any bad luck to affect what he would receive from the box this time, so he was ready to go through the entire process.

Glug…

Glug…

The lion clan’s wind ability helped him heat up water within a short period of time; in no time at all, a whole barrel of hot water was ready.

After thinking a little, Su Mo added some psychic energy water to reduce the water’s temperature.

“This is one expensive bath, so I hope that I’ll be blessed and receive something good from the reward box!”

Su Mo immersed himself into the hot water barrel and felt warmth envelope his body, washing away his fatigue. He chanted a Taoist incantation for luck, and gradually calmed his restless heart down.

He soaked himself comfortably in the barrel for about half an hour. After that, he leapt up from the bucket, dried his body, changed into a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and sat down at the workbench.

“This disaster reward is equivalent to receiving an overdraft for the next one!”

“Now that both the airdrop reward and secret trading realm have concluded, if my guess is right, there should be no more rewards until the flood disaster is over!”

“So… This should be the last airdrop box for the next six months.”

These were his speculations based on the known conditions. Su Mo had run some calculations based on the timing and appearance of the ruins. The possibility that there would be no further airdrop reward and secret trading realm opportunity until the flood disaster concluded was extremely likely.

Therefore, the things he obtained from this airdrop box would be incredibly important.

“After receiving so many useless things, it’s time for some good luck…”

“Gold Airdrop, open!”

Su Mo put his hand on the latch of the airdrop box and applied some force to open it. A light-gold ray of light revealed itself slowly as the box opened.

The large golden No.1 text also floated up into the air. It was an extremely wonderful sight.

Su Mo put his right hand on the side of the box and gently continued pushing it open. Before Su Mo could react, three items slowly appeared from inside and floated in the air.

The last time, there was a card pouch and a pointer. This time, after the airdrop box’s level was raised, there was a slight change.

The first of the three items was a strange-looking horn with a circle of threads that spread outward from the center.

The second piece was a tight-fitting undergarment that looked extremely smooth. Su Mo did not know what materials it was made of.

As for the third piece, it was a small cube. Su Mo felt like he had seen it somewhere before, but could not identify it at the moment.

He gently stretched out his hand. As he touched the light wrapped around the items, they lost their ability to float in mid-air and fell onto the table.

Sweeping the box aside, Su Mo first picked up the horn. He focused his attention on it and, after consuming some points to activate the game panel’s identification function, the item’s properties panel popped out.

[Sea Wave Horn (Rare)]

[Description:For inexplicable reasons, this horn has the ability to control the power of the ocean to a certain extent, and possesses a portion of the authority of the God of the Ocean. When infused with the divine power of the ocean, you can wield the divine power of the God of the Ocean within a certain range and for a certain period of time.]

[First Special Ability:Water Affinity (When encountering water, the wielder can choose to activate this ability to gain the ability to ignore the pressure underwater to a depth of 100 meters and also breathe underwater. Lasts five minutes and has a 24-hour cooldown.)]

[Second Special Ability: Poseidon’s Sovereign (The wielder gains the ability to manipulate water within a small range. Can be used once per day and has a 24-hour cooldown. The range of water manipulation can be increased by infusing disaster points into the horn.)]

[Third Special ability: Water’s Favor (Passive skill. When the wielder falls into the water, there is an extremely small possibility that he will obtain the favor of the surrounding marine life.)]

Compared to the system’s brief description, the game panel identified the items’ properties very thoroughly, though it required the consumption of disaster points.

“Sure enough, the game’s airdrop box will still take the impending disaster into account to an extent!”

The horn had three special abilities, two active and one passive, and they were all related to water.

Testing out the horn, Su Mo chanted silently in his heart and, in an instant, the horn flashed, and a long whining sound filled his ears.

Hum…

Blue ripples erupted from the horn into Su Mo’s body and then spread out like a shockwave.

The only place in the three floors of the shelter that had water was the bath barrel that was half full.

Under Su Mo’s guidance, the water in the bucket seemed to be inspired by some kind of mysterious power, setting off a small shockwave that pushed the water against the walls of the barrel.

While manipulating the water, Su Mo walked closer and began to carefully observe the undulations of the water inside the bucket.

This manipulation ability was extremely magical. Waves would appear on the calm surface of the water with a mere thought. They splashed against the walls of the barrel, one after the other. When Su Mo guided it to stop, the water immediately calmed down and regained its peaceful state.

“If I’m not wrong, the horn should be a medium that releases a repelling, as well as attracting, force that only affects water!”

When faced with something unknown, Su Mo always tried to analyze things from a scientific perspective.

This kind of power, which was both miraculous and magical in the eyes of the common person, could still be somewhat explained using modern theoretical and knowledge systems.

For example, nuclear magnetic resonance devices used radio frequency pulses to excite the nucleus of hydrogen atoms in the human body, causing them to resonate and absorb energy. After halting the radio frequency pulses, the nucleus of those hydrogen atoms would emit radio signals at a specific frequency and release the absorbed energy.

The principle behind the horn should be somewhat similar, except that the terminal was some kind of energy in the water that had not yet been observed or identified by humans.

“I can make guesses about the principles behind the horn, but the energy fueling it is still a mystery!”

After checking the horn thoroughly, and confirming repeatedly that the horn did not possess any energy-generating apparatus, Su Mo could only give up.

If he could decode the principle behind it and simulate it, then everyone in the wasteland could use this magical ability.

At the same time, this would also mean that human beings would gain a form of “natural magic” and have an edge in the water.

It was nice to hear in principle, but in reality life was what it was.

After shaking his head and putting aside this great vision of humanity’s future, Su Mo put the horn into his storage space and returned to his workbench, where he began to examine the two remaining items.

The second item was a gray and black undergarment that was almost like an undershirt. It emitted a jade-like glow that radiated from it.

Su Mo spent a few more points, and the undergarment’s properties popped out.

[Thermostatic Undergarment (Excellent)]

[Description: Made of ???? material, this is a tight-fitting undergarment that can maintain a constant temperature.]

[First Special ability:Shape Change (When wearing this, you can spend a certain amount of disaster points to alter the shape of the undergarment. The cost of each change will increase with the number of times. The first change is free.)]

[Second Special Ability:Insulation (When the temperature of the wearer’s surroundings is between -10 degrees and -30 degrees, the temperature felt by the wearer will be controlled at a constant 16 degrees.]

[Third Special ability:Indestructibility (When the undergarment is damaged, it will gradually repair itself as long as the threshold of damage does not exceed 70%. The repair duration depends on the degree of damage.)]

[First Restriction: The undergarment must be worn close to the body in order to remain effective.]

[Second Restriction: The undergarment will be automatically bound to the player after first use. It cannot be gifted, transferred, or traded except in the case of death.]

“Huh, this undergarment is quite practical. Unfortunately, given my current strength, it’s a bit useless to me.”

After fiddling with the undergarment twice, Su Mo simply took off his top and put the undergarment on.

The second the loose undergarment touched the body, it began to shrink gradually, morphing and transforming according to Su Mo’s thoughts.

Its general appearance was still that of a vest, but after a couple of small modifications, it became more snug. Coupled with the comfortable material, it felt like he had not put it on at all.

After feeling the change in body temperature brought about by the undergarment, Su Mo picked up the small cube and spent some points again.

Compared to the first two items, which were obviously magic items, the small cube was unobtrusive. It was black in color, and shaped like a Rubik’s Cube.

After the initial properties of the cube popped out though, Su Mo was unable to hold back his surprise.

“Holy sh*t!”

“It really came even when I least expected it!”

With a thought, a blueprint design that had been sitting in his storage space for “years” appeared in his hand.

As the blueprint design was pressed against the cube, a bright light flashed, and the blueprint design disappeared. The device in his hand began to quickly deform, gradually turning into a large box measuring 1m³.

After that, the large box also began to deform. Some spots began to sink down while some others were raised.

The process of change did not take long. About a minute later, the whole process was completed, and a new properties panel popped up.

[Civilian Use Type II – Full Matter Conversion Engine (Rare)]

[Description: A device developed by the ??? Organization and produced by ?. The whole machine is a high-quality, advanced technological mass production device. It was widely used in combat mechs and cosmic voyages at first but, after a long period of further development and technology advancements, it was applied to daily use, food, travel, and many other aspects of daily life.]

[Model:Civilian Use Type II]

[Power: Changes depending on the energy level and the amount of energy supplied. Has no upper limit.]

[Durability: 2000 (Its durability will automatically be reduced by one point for every natural hour of use. Its durability will automatically increase by one point for every natural hour of rest.)]

[Special Ability: Conversion (The matter conversion engine can be activated by supplying any energy source including, but not limited to, food, wood, water, gasoline, diesel, and psychic energy.]

[First Restriction: The matter conversion engine is locked until it consumes a corresponding blueprint design to activate its functions. (Current status: Unlocked)]

[Second Restriction: Once the matter conversion engine is affixed to the corresponding object and starts converting energy, if the operator wishes to affix it to another object, 2000 disaster points are required as payment.. Please use with caution.]
