Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 164 Dividing the Spoils! Advancement in the Heavenly Craftsman Sequence! The Authority of Life!

Chu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief after disembarking.

Why kill that person?
To silence them, of course!

He wasn't sure if the man covered in scars was lying to him, but he didn't think the man would lie to him. After all, if someone was willing to die, what reason would they have to lie?

Unless he had a grudge against that young man, he was deceiving himself.

If that's the case, he'll accept it; better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!

Therefore, that young man must die!

Fortunately, he knew the price of the safety amulet, which gave him a slightly more reasonable explanation.

Although it was a bit stiff, wasn't that how Chu Sheng was seen by Hui and his team?

"Brother Chu Sheng! You're amazing!" Xingzi immediately went up to praise Chu Sheng when she saw him return.

She's almost taking on Chu Sheng's shape.

Chu Sheng simply gave her a bright smile without saying a word.

noon.

Although the sun was shining directly, it was obscured by the water mist, and the surroundings were just a hazy blur.

Chu Sheng and his companions remained at the dock.

They found a small, not-too-dilapidated house at the dock and gathered together.

In the middle of the hut was a table with nine extraordinary materials and four sacrificial offerings on it.

At this moment, they were the only ones at the dock. Hui had Cheng Xue take all the survivors from the fleet to the caravan.

Looking at the materials and offerings on the table, Hui looked at Chu Sheng, An Xi, and Zhu Qing and said, "Although the distribution has already been discussed."

"But I'd like to double-check."

"Chu Sheng misled them, then took the initiative to strike first, catching them off guard and killing two sequence ability users, so he deserves the most credit."

"Next was Zhu Qing, who killed two people directly, and then An Xi, who also killed one."

"As the one who led the way, I also have a part in it."

As he spoke, he looked at Ah Xin and continued, "Ah Xin provides shelter for the convoy every day, receiving a fixed 0.5%, but the settlement will only be made when 10% is collected, so she will not participate in the distribution this time."

"Mm." Ah Xin nodded upon hearing this. Her assignment had been decided long ago.

The distribution will only be made when it reaches one-tenth. This time, no matter how many materials and offerings there are, it will be counted as half a tenth. Once it reaches one tenth, no matter how many extraordinary materials there are next time, she will still take one tenth.

It's hard to say whether it's good or bad, but for allocation, integers are the easiest to allocate.

"The final distribution is: Chu Sheng gets 40%, Zhu Qing gets 30%, An Xi gets 20%, I get 10%, and Ah Xin gets 0.5% next time."

"The nine extraordinary materials go without saying, but the main thing is these four sacrificial items."

As Hui spoke, he looked at the four sacrificial offerings, his gaze lingering on a transparent stone brimming with life, as if he were greatly tempted.

He forcibly shifted his gaze and continued, "These four items are sacrificial offerings and cannot be allocated using the number of times extraordinary materials are used."

"The nine extraordinary materials represent nine choices, and the four sacrificial offerings are divided according to their strength."

"The peace pendant counts as three choices, the battery counts as three choices, the exploding offering counts as five choices, and the last offering is too special, so it counts as ten choices."

"In total, there are thirty choices. Chu Sheng has a 40% share, which means twelve choices. Zhu Qing has a 30% share, which means nine choices. An Xi has a 20% share, which means six choices. My 10% share means three choices."

“Ah Xin will not participate in this allocation.”

"Right?" Hui asked, looking at everyone to confirm again.

Lu Guan, Old Man Li, and Xingzi watched the spectacle from the sidelines, but their eyes were all fixed on the transparent stone offering.

Chu Sheng nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

“I have a larger share, so I’ll choose first.” Chu Sheng thought for a moment and continued, “An Xi owes me two extraordinary materials, so she deducted two selection opportunities for me.”

"Zhu Qing owed me one and a half extraordinary materials before. Half a material is hard to calculate, so I'm given another chance to choose. He still owes me half a piece of extraordinary material."

"So in the end I have fifteen chances to choose, An Xi four times, Zhu Qing eight times, and you three times unchanged."

As Chu Sheng spoke, he looked at the table.

Five ships were searched, and nine extraordinary materials and four sacrificial offerings were found. Of course, including the two he had secretly kept, there were actually eleven extraordinary materials.

I don't know how the whip-wielding woman and her group managed to obtain four sacrificial items.

Of the nine extraordinary materials, two were the ones he had previously presented to Hui and his companion: octopus-like tentacles and a complete fish skeleton.

As for the two cruiser toys that could be transformed into robots and the data adapter cable, he had already placed them in the Netherworld Chariot.

In addition, there are seven other extraordinary materials.

A complete fish tail, about half the size of a person.

Two gills joined together.

A 4.6-meter roll of fishing line.

Three different types of fish bones, the small one is the size of a palm, and the large one is over two meters long.

A piece of fish head bone, with a 1.5-meter-long barb similar to the front of a swordfish.

In addition to these extraordinary materials, there are four sacrificial offerings.

Two of them were taken from the Whip Woman's ship.

At this point, some time had passed since the five women with whips died, and the information about these four sacrificial items resurfaced.

Ping An Zhui's ability is very simple, and its ranking is not high, only over 8,400. Its ability is only to heal external injuries, but the price is that every time it heals an external injury, it will feel a temperature of minus 40 degrees Celsius for three minutes.

The offering that looks like a hole and emits blue electric arcs is a battery, ranked over 7,000. It has two abilities: one is adhesion, which allows it to adhere to objects that require energy, and the other is substitution, which allows it to replace the energy of the object it adheres to and convert it into electrical energy.

However, it stops operating every day and requires someone to go inside the cave and use air to stimulate it to continue generating electricity.

The price is that you have to endure ten minutes of extreme electric shock every day. You won't die, but you will feel extreme pain.

Another offering was a detonator with an exclamation mark on its side, which was also the offering Hui mentioned.

Ranked over 4,000, it has a single ability: it splits into a bomb every ten days. However, the bomb has an explosion radius of 100 meters and emits nuclear radiation for three days after the explosion, making it extremely terrifying.

However, although it is very powerful, the price is also extremely terrifying. Once it is recognized as a master, it will be invaded by nuclear radiation.

Chu Sheng's assessment of this was that it was a dead end.

No wonder those sequence ability users put it in the cabin.

The last offering was the most special and the one Chu Sheng wanted the most, ranking in the triple digits.

【The Spirit of Life】

[Ranking of offerings: 633]

[Enchantment: Can imbue objects with instincts and a faint spiritual quality.]

Life: A gift bestowed upon cold, lifeless creations!

[Authority: The partial authority over life.]

[Sacrifice: Extraordinary items; every use comes at a price!]

[Usage Cost: Small chance of being possessed by the Spirit of Life, high chance of becoming a follower of the Spirit of Life, and extremely high chance of being transformed into a puppet of life.]

This was the first time Chu Sheng had ever seen such a sacrificial offering, and also the first time he had ever seen a sacrificial offering ranked in the three digits.

At the same time, there was also a feeling of longing in my heart.

It feels like a complete jigsaw puzzle. Everything was fine until you suddenly realized a piece was missing. After finding the missing piece and completing it, the puzzle seemed whole again.

Then, at some point, it was discovered that another puzzle piece was missing from the edge.

This is how Chu Sheng feels right now.

The Heavenly Craft Sequence generated a desire, but it wasn't as impatient as its previous desire for black flames.

It seems like we can do without this thing.

No, it's still a complete sequence.

Yes, it means that the incomplete sequence has been upgraded to a complete sequence.

Chu Sheng couldn't describe the feeling; it was extremely strange.

Not only him, but also Hui, Zhu Qing, and others had the same feeling.

Old Li and Xingzi had the strongest feelings for each other.

Of everyone present, only An Xi remained completely unmoved; she even felt a strange urge to laugh as she looked at the eager group of people.

With fifteen chances to choose, Chu Sheng didn't even glance at the extraordinary materials and directly took the Spirit of Life and the detonator.

The two strongest sacrificial offerings here now belong to him.

Two powerful offerings, but at a much higher cost.

Chu Sheng wasn't afraid at all.

Leaving aside the detonator, the main focus was on the Spirit of Life. Chu Sheng directly summoned a black flame in front of everyone.

The Spirit of Life was a transparent stone, but with the appearance of the black flames, it began to tremble.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Sheng directly controlled the fusion of the black flames and the spirit of life.

Black Flame is part of his Celestial Craft Sequence ability, representing the Celestial Craft Sequence itself.

The price of the Spirit of Life is terrifying, but when Chu Sheng saw it, he never thought of using it as a sacrifice.

The five Sequence Ability Users in the fleet were unaware of the Sequence Incompleteness, so they dared not easily fuse with the Spirit of Life upon seeing the cost. But how could Chu Sheng not know this?

As an ability user who has completed the sequence, he knows very well that as long as the Spirit of Life and the Heavenly Craft Sequence merge, no price will be required.

As the black flames and the spirit of life merged, Chu Sheng felt a cool sensation all over his body, as if someone had given him a full-body massage, even little Chu Sheng was being massaged.

Seeing the way he was enjoying himself, Hui and the others were filled with envy.

An Xi stood to the side holding the black jade bone spear, glancing at Hui and the others. Xingzi, meanwhile, clenched her fist, holding a syringe in her pocket, and also glanced at everyone.

The butcher at Chu Sheng's waist trembled slightly. The butcher, who was connected to Chu Sheng's mind, could be summoned directly with just a thought.

If anything seemed amiss, the butcher would appear, carry Chu Sheng away, and escape.

Its tall and sturdy body could completely obscure Chu Sheng.

The convoy wasn't very strong. Although Old Man Li had hidden something, his combat strength wasn't high. If they were prepared, he probably wouldn't be seriously injured.

Lu Guan is in a bit of trouble, but as long as An Xi and Zhu Qing don't take action, it won't make a difference if he does.

The fusion of the Spirit of Life and the Sequence should have been within the Netherworld Chariot, but Chu Sheng chose to use it in front of everyone to dispel any negative thoughts they might have about him later.

He wasn't stupid; he could naturally sense that An Xi had special feelings for him.

Furthermore, since An Xi has not developed a desire for the Spirit of Life, she is unlikely to attack herself and may even protect herself.

In addition, there's Apricot, who is in the medical profession.

If they attack you, you will lose three sequence ability users: one who can create sacrificial objects, one main combatant, and one doctor. The team's ability to withstand risks will drop sharply.

Having learned about the situation over this period, Chu Sheng was well aware that none of the sequence ability users in the caravan were fools.

Moreover, as he uses it, his life force is unlikely to be released, so they are unlikely to make a move.

Although Chu Sheng was afraid of death, he was still willing to take some risks at this time.

He factored everything into it.

He even considered the possibility that An Xi or Xingzi might attack him.

He doesn't trust anyone.

Zhu Qing and Hui looked at Chu Sheng with envy, Lu Guan's eyes flickered with a ghostly light, and Old Man Li sighed and stopped looking at Chu Sheng.

Ah Xin blinked to the side, glancing at An Xi and Xing Zi, who were on guard, a slight smile playing on her lips, as if she had thought of something amusing.

Chu Sheng did not spend too long fusing with the Spirit of Life. The fusion of the power of life was different from the previous black flames. The black flames caused him great pain in completing the sequence, but the power of life brought him extreme comfort.

Chu Sheng guessed that the previous reason was to complete the sequence, while the current reason was to supplement the sequence.

He called the current situation a supplement to the sequence.

Seeing that he had recovered, Zhu Qing asked with envy and curiosity, "Chu Sheng, how are you feeling now?"

As Zhu Qing asked the question, everyone's eyes turned to him.

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng clenched his fist and smiled.

"I've reached Sequence 7."

Zhu Qing: "!!!"

When Chu Sheng merged with the Spirit of Life, his sequence no longer had that feeling of longing.

So although he envied Chu Sheng, his feelings quickly dissipated.

But when he heard Chu Sheng say that he had already reached Sequence Seven, he gained a concrete understanding of the Spirit of Life.

You have to understand, Zhu Qing is a giant!
As the team's front-line tank, he uses his abilities most frequently, and he even trains his sequence abilities on his own in private. Therefore, his sequence level has always been the highest and fastest in the team.

Even An Xi is no match for him.

He was also the first to be promoted to Sequence 8.

He witnessed Chu Sheng's awakening of his sequence when he was almost at sequence eight, which was already close to sequence nine.

As a result, Chu Sheng has now overtaken him!
Zhu Qing was incredibly envious.

Not only him, but also Hui and the others were the same.

Only An Xi, because she didn't feel that longing, maintained a calm attitude and didn't have much thought about Chu Sheng's advancement to Sequence Seven.

There was even a feeling of joy.

Seeing that everyone seemed to still want to talk to him about the sequence, Chu Sheng coughed lightly and gestured to them to the remaining nine extraordinary materials and two sacrificial items on the table.

"Hurry up and choose, don't waste too much time, we're about to leave."

"It's not good to stay here forever."

"Sigh," Captain Hui sighed, "What a mess!"

Chu Sheng has already advanced to Sequence Seven.

He's still Sequence 8. Could it be because he hasn't used his sequence enough?
But he had already done his best. Whenever possible, he would exhaust all his mental energy before going to sleep. Did he really have to calculate the sequence of extraordinary beings?
However, he deduced that the extraordinary sequence would come at a price.

The old saying that heavenly secrets should not be revealed is perfectly exemplified in his case.

Chu Sheng forcefully steered the conversation toward extraordinary materials and sacrificial offerings.

Although Hui and Zhu Qing were green with envy, they still put Chu Sheng's matter aside.

Zhu Qing, as the second person to choose, simply took the battery.

He had eight chances to choose, three of which were given to him to give him batteries. Then he took a complete fish tail that was half the size of a person, two gills that were connected together, a fishing line, tentacles that resembled an octopus, and a skeleton that was more than two meters long.

One offering and five extraordinary materials.

An Xi, on the other hand, carried a swordfish skull with a meter-long spike, as well as three other fish bones, the largest of which was only half the size of a person, and the other two fish bones were only the size of a forearm.

Hui is always the last to be chosen; he usually doesn't have a choice, so whatever is left is what he gets.

So he obtained the peace pendant.

(The extraordinary materials possessed by each member of the main characters)
After the extraordinary materials and offerings were distributed, Chu Sheng returned directly to the Netherworld Chariot.

They didn't give Zhu Qing and the others a chance to speak at all.

He didn't want to reveal too much; he didn't care what they guessed, but he wouldn't reveal it intentionally.

Back on the Netherworld Chariot, and driving back to the convoy from the dock, Chu Sheng finally had time to properly perceive the changes in himself.

His physical strength has improved once again.

At the same time, his mental strength also increased fivefold.

Through the windshield, he could even see the dust in the mist.

Each boost in the sequence is enormous.

His current information also appeared on his personal panel.

Name: Chu Sheng

[Sequence: The Craftsman]

[Sequence Level: 7]

[Mental Strength: 365650↑]

Survival Points: 195100

[Possesses the following sacrificial items: Butcher, Nether Chariot (Unified), Red and White Bone Bow, Purifying Gourd, Destruction Detonator!]

[Abilities: Upgrade, Fusion, Shaping, Black Flame, Life!]

[Upgrade: Consume mental energy to upgrade all things in the world, improving their basic attributes! Upgrades can be done by harvesting monsters and using survival points!]

[Fusion: Combine items containing extraordinary properties with other items to create new sacrificial offerings!]

[Shaping: Change the original appearance of items through fire during upgrades and fusion!]

[Black Flame: A flame born under the scorching sun, belonging to the Celestial Craftsmanship sequence!]

[Life: Having gained partial control over life, one can consume spiritual energy to bestow upon their own creations the wondrous life instincts!]

The changes in abilities are not significant; the most substantial improvements in the sequence are mental strength and the acquisition of a new ability.

His mental strength was only 72130 points after being quantified, which is equivalent to 72130 survival points. Although his mental strength will increase on its own during this period, the increase is not much.

On the contrary, this advancement in the sequence increased his mental strength fivefold, reaching as many as 360,000!
Although he only gained one new ability this time, Chu Sheng was already very satisfied with it.

He had a deep feeling that he could make the sacrificial offerings develop in the direction he wanted when he was fusing them.

However, he felt that the Heavenly Craft Sequence was already saturated, or even overeaten.

The feedback the sequence gave him was digestion.

Only after the life authority has been fully digested can the sequence continue to advance.

"I always feel that advancing from Sequence Seven to Sequence Six is ​​a huge hurdle," Chu Sheng muttered.

After advancing to Sequence Seven, he always felt that all sequences would experience a qualitative leap after advancing to Sequence Six.

Not far from Chu Sheng, Zhu Qing was carefully placing the battery she had received between the driver's and passenger's seats.

[Battery]

[Ranking of offerings: 7543]

[Adhesion: It can adhere to items that require energy, making the opening a tangible part, into which insulating materials can be stored.]

[Alternative: Replaces the item that fits, converting it into electrical energy consumption, granting endless power! Daily electric shocks from the cave entrance are required to reactivate the ability! The more shocks, the more power is generated!]

[Sacrifice: Extraordinary items; every use comes at a price!]

[Usage Cost: The battery requires ten minutes of extreme electric shock daily. It won't kill you, but you'll experience extreme pain.]

This is an infinite energy offering with a price, but for Zhu Qing, this price is nothing at all.

Isn't it just about providing energy based on the number and intensity of electric shocks?
Isn't it just enduring ten minutes of extreme, painful electric shocks every day?

Zhu Qing has never known the meaning of the word "pain" in his entire life!
A smug smile appeared on Zhu Qing's face, which even soothed Chu Sheng's heart, which had been shaken by Chu Sheng's advancement to Sequence Seven.

"Let me see your strength." Zhu Qing sat inside the boat car, with his newly hired middle-aged female driver in the driver's seat, while his new girlfriend, who had also just started a relationship with him, sat in the back seat.

Zhu Qing's size increased slightly. After becoming gigantic, he would not feel pain, and becoming gigantic was still considered gigantic.

He reached his hand into the hole in the battery, and the next moment, an arc of electricity appeared from the edge of the hole, giving him a direct shock to his arm.

Zhu Qing stared intently, and when he saw that he felt nothing after the electric shock, his smile widened.

"Extremely painful electric shocks? Ha! Let me see how salty yours is!"

Zhu Qing didn't take it seriously at all, and with a thought, immediately began paying the price.

The next moment, his body began to tremble violently, and a current of electricity spread throughout his body, making him almost unable to control his body.

"I didn't feel anything." Zhu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. He had said he wasn't afraid, but he was actually a little scared.

He's most afraid of pain!
Fortunately, this offering did not ignore the cost of his loss of pain, just like Anxi's Gengjin power.

He has always been grateful that the price he paid was losing the ability to feel pain after becoming gigantic, which neither affected his normal life nor caused him pain.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that Zhu Qing stopped trembling.

"Brother Qing, what happened to you just now?" The girl sitting in the back seat asked Zhu Qing in a low voice.

"It's nothing, just the price of a sacrificial offering. You two shouldn't touch this thing, or you might die suddenly." Zhu Qing pointed to the power supply battery that was attached to the middle of the driver's seat and passenger seat near the back seat.

"I have something to take care of, I'll go out for a bit."

With that, he took the extraordinary materials he had just been allocated and left.

He wanted to go find Chu Sheng to upgrade the car he had given him.

Just as he stepped out of the car, he saw An Xi open the door of the Netherworld Chariot and climb inside.

He thought about it and decided not to go and disturb them.

Meanwhile, inside the Netherworld Chariot.

Chu Sheng held a black jade bone spear in one hand and a swordfish skull with spikes in the other.

Are you sure you want to combine them?

“Confirmed!” An Xi nodded. “Although the Black Jade Bone Spear is excellent, I think adding this extraordinary material would be very appropriate.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng nodded, "Indeed."

Before he could finish speaking, the fusion and upgrade of the Black Jade Bone Spear was already complete.

Black Jade Bone Spear

[Ranking of offerings: 4960]

[Attribute Enhancements: Significantly increased toughness, significantly increased hardness, significantly increased sharpness. This spear, incorporating the ribs of a skeleton and the spine of a zombie, greatly increases its lethality against skeletons and zombies, and also enhances its extraordinary energy conduction properties!]

[Spear Control: Automatic Return. After recognizing its master, the white jade spear can quickly return to its master's hand within a 500-meter radius.]

[Corpse Poison Attacks the Heart: Attacks inflict a trace amount of corpse poison; after a hundred attacks, it erupts, turning the attacker into a walking corpse!]

[Speed: A thrust with the spear increases speed by 200%, and a throw also increases speed by 200%. Any attack using the spear increases speed by a different percentage depending on proficiency level.]

[Sacrifice: Extraordinary items; every use comes at a price!]

[Cost of Use: A spear that thirsts for life, requiring daily nourishment with fresh blood; ideally, it must kill someone! It must pierce one item fifty times daily! Failure to meet the conditions will result in the spear killing its master!]

[Hidden Attribute: If you are Chu Sheng, there is no cost to using this!]

After glancing at the Black Jade Bone Spear's abilities, Chu Sheng returned it to An Xi.

The ranking has moved up four hundred places, and I've also gained a speed boost ability.

The sheer speed alone caused a qualitative leap in the enhancement that the Black Jade Bone Spear provided to An Xi.

After all, An Xi really liked to use the power of Gengjin as bullets.

Moreover, her ultimate skill is also launched from a distance.

As expected, An Xi's face lit up with joy upon seeing the Black Fish Bone Spear's new abilities, and she held the Black Jade Bone Spear with obvious delight.

"Oh, right." An Xi seemed to have thought of something and said, "I'll go to bed later tonight, and I'll come find you then."

“You said last time that it would be half a sacrificial offering once.”
