Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 116, page 115: The Journey

"Absorption Cloak"

Wang Ji looked at the two cloaks he had previously seized from outsiders.

I understood it this time.

It turns out that the progress bar on this cloak is the damage absorption value.

The current progress is 23025/200000.

The former represents the damage already absorbed, while the latter is the maximum damage that can be absorbed.

In addition to absorbing damage, this cloak can also release the absorbed damage as a means of attack.

Theoretically, as long as the release is fast enough, it is invincible.

The solution is simple: either penetrate the armor or use overwhelming force to destroy it directly.

The functionality is quite good.

Commentary: "The standard equipment for adventurers."

For anything below the world level, this equipment is indeed very useful, as it can indiscriminately defend against any external attack.

But at the world level, this thing will explode if you squeeze it even lightly.

Wang Ji had not forgotten that Oswald had once casually dealt damage exceeding 100 million—or rather, instant kill damage that was impossible to quantify.

Equipment like this could probably be disassembled into parts with a wave of his hand.

Thinking about it, Wang Ji couldn't help but shake his head.

My so-called 'Genesis-level' abilities, apart from my special skills that allow me to sit on the table, are really lacking in other aspects.

For example, direct combat power.

In the current situation, let alone fighting a world-class opponent, even fighting two junk scavengers that any world-class opponent could easily defeat would cause me to lose a large portion of my shield and almost get my main body injured.

It's embarrassing to tell anyone.

No, we need to find something to boost our fighting strength.

Wang Ji once again turned his attention to the market.

There are many things that can directly enhance combat power, and there are all sorts of systems, too many to keep track of.

For example, the Absorption Cloak is a world-class treasure, said to be able to directly grant immunity to all damage below the world level.

The price is quite high; given Nine's financial resources, it's estimated that most world-class individuals wouldn't have the financial means to purchase it.

As for Wang Ji…

He's too lazy to even look at the prices; he just buys whatever he likes.

Anything that can be solved with World Currency isn't really a problem.

A moment later, the cloak was delivered.

[Absorption Cloak - World Max Edition]
Note: Immune to all damage below the World Level, and can negate ten World Level damage attacks per day.

Current offset charge count: 10/10.

Wang Ji draped the cloak over his shoulders.

This item is defined as 'ornament'.

In addition to providing defensive capabilities, the cloak also has a concealment function. It can use the wearer as an anchor point to disappear into the void behind the wearer, making it undetectable.

Moreover, concealment does not prevent the cloak from functioning normally, thus balancing safety and convenience.

Needless to say, Wang Ji simply chose to hide.

Besides the cloak, Wang Ji also bought some offensive self-defense weapons, such as amplifiers that could allow psychic power to directly reach world-class levels, and energy weapons that could annihilate space...

They directly used their financial power to elevate their combat strength to a world-class level.

嗏

Looking at the expensive equipment in his backpack, Wang Ji felt uneasy.

There's a feeling of utter boredom.

No matter how amazing these things are, they are ultimately just external things that are bought.

They do not belong to themselves.

Shaking his head, Wang Ji looked at his Cognition Points, which hadn't changed in a long time.

"It's time to expand some modules."

Cognition originates from learning.

Learning about and recognizing new things can accelerate cognitive progress.

Then let's keep learning.

Thinking it over, Wang Ji looked to all realms and purchased a large amount of knowledge from different systems to enrich himself.

Knowledge is boundless, and even with Wang Ji's current wealth, he cannot buy it all.

But this is also a good thing.

This means that the points gained will be endless. "The rest is just a matter of time."

No more worrying about the source of cognitive points.

However, we still need to take care of the important matter first, which is to help the Keeper of the Secrets deliver a message to that Genesis-level being in the Doomsday Zone.

"After completing this mission, I'll go back to my hometown and develop my career properly."

Wang Ji calmed down and began making the final preparations for his trip.

That is, the choice of transportation.

After browsing around, Wang Ji bought a private warp drive spaceship.

“A wise choice, sir.”

The salesperson explained, "'Radiance' type shuttle was once the designated vehicle for high-ranking members of the Sophisticated Association, guaranteeing safety, speed, and comfort."

"Even many Genesis-class beings choose to travel on our Radiant Shuttle when they are not in a hurry."

"What if you're in a hurry?" Wang Ji asked.

"Then they'll continue on their own."

That means many Genesis-class ships are faster than dedicated shuttles.

Wang Ji felt the pressure once again.

"Then let's do this."

The spaceship has been acquired.

It has to be said that it was indeed not cheap; it actually managed to cause a significant change in Wang Ji's balance.

But it's still quite worth it.

The description states that the ship was designed purely for rapid travel, pursuing extreme speed, and even forgoing offensive capabilities, carrying no weapons.

However, its defensive capabilities are still very strong, with a built-in 99% resistance to any non-absolute rule damage. It is said that even if it slowly drives through the center of a world battlefield where there are intense battles, nothing will happen to it.

That should be enough this time.

Wang Ji boarded the spaceship, selected a target, and headed to the apocalyptic zone.

The spaceship disappeared silently, accelerating continuously, traversing countless worlds every second.

No special skills are required from the pilot; in most cases, the spacecraft's autopilot and service intelligence are sufficient to handle everything.

[Estimated arrival time: 7 days.]
It's much faster than we expected.

Taking advantage of this time, Wang Ji didn't sit idle. He began to study rapidly, constantly absorbing knowledge from other world systems.

The cognitive progress bar has started to slowly increase once again.

Unlike before, when he could only learn about these different systems of knowledge gradually, Wang Ji now felt no obstacles in his eyes.

You will learn it as soon as you learn it.

For Wang Ji, the talent thresholds and unique powers in some systems are as if they don't exist.

He can freely study any system without any barriers or obstacles.

But similarly, there was no support or assistance from the world.

It refers to a simple, absolute, and unstoppable push towards the depths of a certain force.

As they learn, the power of the rules of the corresponding world gradually unfolds in their minds.

Originating from his own unique characteristics and his creation-level perspective, Wang Ji can observe from a higher dimension beyond the world's rules and systems, thus rapidly advancing his cultivation progress.

Seven days passed in a flash.

[Magic Knowledge Points +1]

As soon as the notification appeared, Wang Ji calculated that the time was almost up and ended his study session.

Actually, before this, the cognitive progress bar had already been more than halfway completed, but the apocalypse prevented further development.

Now it's time to complete it.

As for the content of these seven days of study, it is a well-developed magical world cultivation system, which has many similarities with the magicians of the old world.

This greatly broadened Wang's horizons.

If Wang Ji's skill in using magical arts was previously at level ten, then now his level has doubled, reaching an even higher level than a high-level magical arts user.

At this moment, he could easily manipulate the seven high-level magic users of the former empire with just one hand, treating high-level opponents as if they were mid-level opponents.

Wang Ji couldn't help but sigh.

This is a dimensional reduction attack from a more advanced world.

But even so.

Wang Ji reflected on Auschwitz's every move and found that he still couldn't see through him.

He hasn't reached that level yet; he's only taken a small step within this system.
