Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 255 The Development Direction of Mythological and Conceptual Sequences
"Lu Guan is a bit lacking, but he can still be explored through mythology and concepts."

"The abilities of the skeleton sequence have been evident from the very beginning, such as mental attacks, mental shields, and the ability to burn flesh with ghost fire. Have you ever seen any skeleton with such abilities?"

"If it's a conceptual skeleton, then it should be an ability related to bones, not mental power or will-o'-the-wisp."

“Anxi, Qingqing, and Lu Guan’s abilities were evident from the very beginning.”

"Zhu Qing and Lu Guan are very similar. They can both be associated with mythology or concepts, but they did not demonstrate the abilities of giants in mythology at the beginning."

"From beginning to end, Zhu Qing's ability was to increase his strength, endurance, and recovery ability."

"This became even more pronounced as his physique increased."

Chu Sheng paused for a moment, then jumped off An Xi's back and walked towards the cockpit.

Upon seeing this, An Xi immediately reverted to human form and followed, but her pair of tiger ears remained on her head, twitching as they moved.

Approaching the cockpit, Chu Sheng glanced at Hui, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat like a dead dog. With a thought, Butcher appeared, tied him up, and took him to the bedroom.

In a corner of the bedroom, there was a small bed with stone feet and wooden planks as the bed board; that was his bed.

After sitting down, Chu Sheng glanced at An Xi, who was sitting in another seat. Seeing that her face was flushed, he didn't say much, but continued, "Although I don't know much about the giants in mythology."

"But I know a little bit about it, such as forging, controlling nature, wisdom enhancement, and curse pollution."

"These are all reflected in novels and movies."

"But Zhu Qing doesn't have these abilities; it's just simple recovery and enhancement. The added abilities are also the strengths of humans in the food chain."

"After all, our ancestors relied on running themselves to exhaust their prey."

"Developed endurance and ample physical strength are among the most important manifestations of Zhu Qing's abilities."

"The difference between mythology and sequence is evident from the very beginning."

"But at the time we didn't know about this classification, nor did we know how to distinguish them; we could only differentiate them by the names of the sequences."

Chu Sheng's words made Zhu Qing realize something. "So, I, Old Zhu, am not a myth but a concept?"

"But what's the use of this thing?"

"Distinguishing between concepts and myths doesn't seem to be very useful, does it?"

“It will definitely be useful.” It wasn’t Chu Sheng who spoke, but An Xi.

She stood up from her seat, hugged her flat chest with both arms, leaned against the edge of the seat, and said, "There's something you might have overlooked."

"The mythological sequence advances towards mythical creatures. For example, my White Tiger sequence has advanced to sequence seven, which allows me to transform into the true form of a White Tiger."

"Qingqing can transform into a true dragon when she reaches Sequence Seven."

"As for Lu Guan, needless to say, whether you call it a price or a side effect of the sequence, he turned into the so-called skeleton when he awakened."

“We can all become entities represented by sequences.”

"At the same time, our abilities are also an improvement upon those of the beings in mythology."

"But concept sequences are different; concept sequences are a continuous deepening of concepts."

"Although I don't know much about you, your abilities haven't changed much; on the contrary, they've continued to develop from your initial abilities."

At this point, she glanced at Chu Sheng and then continued, "Just like Chu Sheng, when he first awakened his abilities, he couldn't control them well. When upgrading items, he couldn't upgrade them freely on his own; it was all random."

As An Xi spoke, Chu Sheng silently turned his head away.

Is it because it's not well controlled?
He didn't trust the team members at all at that time, so he kept a backup plan while also trying to earn some survival points.

However, as his trust in the team's sequence ability users deepened, he stopped bringing it up and tacitly acknowledged that his own sequence ability had improved. He had almost forgotten about it, but now that An Xi had suddenly brought it up, he felt like his past had been exposed.

However, An Xi did not notice his expression and continued, "At first, upgrading the ability changed to freely upgrading later, which is a deepening of the ability."

"It also has the ability to fuse sacrificial offerings."

"When Chu Sheng first fused the sacrificial offerings, the white light he created took some time to fuse with the items and extraordinary materials within. However, as his sequence improved, he can now fuse the sacrificial offerings almost instantly."

"At the same time, the black flames that appeared later were also a result of his sequence deepening towards the Heavenly Craftsmanship."

"The Heavenly Craft Sequence sounds similar to that of a craftsman. As a craftsman, it is normal to have fire as an ability. In fact, it can be said that having fire is essential for crafting objects."

As An Xi recounted her story, Chu Sheng pondered, recalling his own sequence advancement and the abilities he had gained.

That seems to be true.

Upgrade, shape, merge, black flames, life.

All five abilities enhance his skill in crafting objects.

Upgrading, integration, and shaping nature go without saying.

Life is the same; it is not the power of nature, but the authority it has seized.

Although the last black flame seemed to give him an offensive means, it consumed too much mental energy. It could be used in combat, but the losses outweighed the gains. Therefore, he basically did not use the black flame to attack in battle.

The black flames seem to have appeared to assist other abilities.

While he was pondering, An Xi did not stop talking. After finishing speaking, Chu Sheng started talking about Ah Xin.

“Ah Xin’s ability is the same. She can protect the sequence. At first, she could only set up a barrier to eliminate the life force in it, but now she can use the barrier to filter things inside and outside, and even use it as a barrier.”

"These are all developing towards the concept of sequence representation."

"The power of a concept sequence increases as the concept itself is enhanced, but the power of a myth sequence remains constant."

"Although my Geng metal power is also getting stronger, it is because my spiritual power is increasing. The Geng metal power originally only had that kind of power."

"It is because I used more Geng metal power to compress or superimpose it to produce a more powerful force, but even so, the speed at which Geng metal power increases is still not as fast as yours."

"These are two completely different directions, one with a fixed direction, and the other without."

"Concepts are the most terrifying things, because no one knows what kind of things they will give rise to."

"Myths may be terrifying and powerful, but they always have an upper limit, and their abilities are confined to a certain range."

Having said that, An Xi seemed to have finished speaking, let out a breath, and sat down again.

The convoy was silent for more than ten seconds, as if stunned by her words.

Then Kyoko's voice came out, filled with shock and excitement, as if she had just realized something and understood.

"So the mythological sequence represents a mechanism. The sequence itself has various abilities, such as your Geng metal power. As long as your mental strength is improved, these abilities will also be improved."

"But the effect of the ability is fixed from the beginning."

"The concept sequence represents numerical values. The fundamental ability is only one: representing the concept of a sequence. However, as the sequence improves and mental strength increases, this ability will grow endlessly, becoming so powerful that bricks can fly."

Is that how you understand it?

"That's certainly a valid interpretation," Old Man Li's words also came through.

　I didn't really want to write this, but I really can't not write it. If I don't write it, it will be too abrupt for it to suddenly appear later. Moreover, this thing is connected to some things later on. If I don't write it, it will directly contradict the setting and ruin the book.
