My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Chapter 366 - The Butterfly Expands Its Wings, The Variety Of Human Development



A black streak flashed by. Hope One slowly disappeared into the distance as it sped across the ocean, only leaving behind a trail full of mystery.

Without any supporting features, the live broadcast video feed that bordered on realistic VR simulation was a miracle to behold.

Even though Su Mo had entered the live broadcast stream so many times, he could not help but admire what he saw as he looked around him.

"Hey, this doesn't look like the deep sea nor a shallow portion of the sea, New World? That doesn't seem right, the New World has not appeared yet, so how could anybody be this quick!"

"My goodness, why is this place so familiar?"

As the image became clearer, he could see a boundless, massive mountain underneath him. Su Mo was momentarily stunned as he could not figure out what was going on.

A player that could appear on the rankings and get on one of the Disaster Resistance live broadcast streams was one that had already achieved a certain standard in the game.

Someone actually made a mountain?

Ah no, some of them have not even departed yet?

With these questions on his mind, after he focused his thoughts and gained access to the different camera angles, he started to look around.

However, after just ten seconds of looking around, the corner of his eyes started to twitch uncontrollably.

The contents of the stream was far different from the others; there was something that everyone did not expect, something that even Su Mo did not expect…

The player that made it on this live broadcast stream and advertised that anyone could get titles under his tutelage was actually from…

The enduring faction!

"My goodness, there's a "spy" among the live streamers!"

Su Mo was no stranger to this mountain range; it was his second time viewing this location where the blonde live streamer had once mocked him.

Of course, now that the ocean had emerged, the small mountain range where the blonde person used to live was now submerged underwater.

Right now, the only things that could be seen above the surface of the ocean were mountains of enormous proportions.

These mountains were still able to provide the humans who lived on it a suitable living environment, even as waves crashed upon them.

Along the sides of the submerged mountain range, through the observation radius of five kilometers, Su Mo could clearly see that, on the foot of the mountain close to the sea, a man-made bay had been carved out of the mountain!

Within that bay was a 15-meter long boat that was designed a little differently from everyone else's.

That boat was a familiar sight to everyone who lived near the ocean. It was…

A fishing boat!

"There are always amazing things happening in this great, big world. While everyone else planned to traverse the ocean to get to the New World, these people relied on the mountains and the ocean to survive, and even made a fishing boat for themselves."

"As the sea creatures have started emerging, as long as the trading market is open, these people will not have to worry about transporting their goods and lacking resources. They can always rely on the fishing boat to obtain a constant supply of resources."

"Besides, this place is a natural resource for the production of sea salt! That's pretty amazing!"

Su Mo changed to another camera angle and looked around the five-kilometer area. As for the amazing people who made this place their home, Su Mo gave them a huge thumbs up.

Beneath the mountain was the ocean itself. Besides the pathway behind the man-made bay, the other parts of the mountain were covered in nothing but jagged rocks and dangerous-looking terrain; even foreign races with incredible physiques would find it very hard to scale and assault the place.

The only way to get to the mountain was to follow the pathway behind the bay.

Since that path was also man-made, that signified…

That it was easy to defend but hard to take down!

Along the pathway toward the mountain, with just a rough glance, Su Mo could already count more than ten spots that could be used to set up ambushes and traps. 

With natural barriers for defense and a great location for development, not only was this disaster not a disaster to these people, it was instead a rare…

Opportunity!

"Welcome to the Mulanje Mountain Shelter, my name is Garfield Bieber. That's right, the Bieber of Justin Bieber, but I like it better if you would call me Garfield!"

After changing to the first-person perspective, a white man appeared on the screen. His upper body was naked, but he had a chest full of hair that made him look somewhat stout and powerful.

However, after he said his name was Garfield, and then squished his face into the shape of Garfield the cat, he looked silly and fun.

Behind him was the fishing boat Su Mo had seen just a moment ago.

Besides that, Su Mo also saw many people on the boat that shared the same skin color as he did, people of Asian descent. He also saw many black-skinned, muscular people.

"There are many races there, but they are all happy working together. It seems that they landed on the same mountain range together. With no enemies around and not having to worry about survival, they're doing pretty well."

"From their body shape and build, it looks like food is not scarce on the mountain. No wonder they have so much confidence in holding out there."

Since the stream had just begun, Garfield had just started to canvass people into watching his stream.

Just like live streams on Earth, it was only after he put on a fascinating title to attract people into the live broadcast stream that he started conveying the actual contents of the stream.

"Whoa, Huaxia's Almighty Su is here too, Ding Zhengqi, Zhai Yuebin, Han Bi… get into our stream quickly, your idol's here!"

As Su Mo watched, Garfield suddenly called out more than ten names excitedly, as if he was calling them to come to look at an actual god.

Su Mo virtually pinched his glabella.

These couple of days, because of his popularity and his participation in Sun Xian's live broadcast stream on the first night, the game had distributed a hundred Disaster Resistance Points to three hundred million people.

The moment Su Mo joined any live broadcast stream, there would be a similar reaction each time.

After all, herd mentality was a real thing.

The moment everyone heard that Almighty Su joined a certain live broadcast stream, the players who missed out on the previous 100 points would swarm in like sharks sensing the scent of blood.

They actually did not care about whether they could obtain the points or not. Rather, they were thinking about what would happen if they missed out on such an important moment?!

According to previous experience, the moment Su Mo entered a live broadcast stream, it would reach 1.5 billion viewers within 10 minutes at most.

This time around, it took even less time!

In just six minutes, the number of views skyrocketed beyond 2 billion. Garfield, who stood at the center of the fishing boat could not hold back the smile on his face any longer as he beamed with joy.

Just like the last time, this live broadcast stream also gained a popularity boost.

Of course, since there were 2 billion people in the room, the airdrop reward that would be given to him was also improved.

This level of popularity was more than Garfield anticipated.

Then, without further ado, Garfield moved to the bow of the boat and lifted his head, going straight into the subject at hand!

"Once again, a very warm welcome to my 2 billion comrades from Earth, I am Garfield Bieber. Since there are so many people here today, I shall not keep everyone waiting. I know that you're all very curious about the title that I mentioned, so right now, I shall put it on display and let everyone see its effects."

As Garfield finished his sentence, after fiddling with his settings, a pale yellow title slowly emerged above his head. 

With the sun shining behind it, the color of the title looked a little pale, but since it was suspended in midair, everyone could clearly see what it was.

"A yellow title, let me see, this is…"

"Friend of the Ocean?"

It was not clear what the color of the title signified, but Garfield was not trying to conceal it either, so he displayed the full properties of his title.

[Friend of the Ocean]

[Description: In the endless ocean of the wasteland, you chose to join the Lawful Good faction. Your kindness has been approved by the God of the Ocean, thus you have been awarded the title of "Friend of the Ocean". After putting on this title, you will be given a few restrictions, and once you break any of the restrictions, you will lose your title and you will not be given the opportunity to obtain it a second time.]

[First title function: The ocean is your second "mother". When you're out on the ocean, your will gain the following enhancements:

All physical fitness properties +1, swimming speed in the ocean +1, energy recovery speed on the ocean +50%, injury recovery speed on the ocean +15%.

Vertigo resistance +1, hunger resistance +1, disease resistance +1.]

[Second title function: When the title holder's ship or boat sails on the ocean, it will obtain the blessing of the marine creatures. By default, marine creatures will not harm the ship or boat of the title holder, unless the title is lost.]

[Third title function: After activating the title, the player can continue to perform acts of kindness to increase their title's level. The more acts of kindness the player performs, and the higher the intimacy levels between the player and marine creatures are, the higher the properties of this title will be.]

[First restriction: After activating the title, the title holder cannot intentionally harm any marine creature, which includes: fishing, killing, poisoning, attacking with weapons, intentional ramming… and hundred and thirty-seven other actions. The restriction does not apply if the player's action is not intentional.]

[Second restriction: After the title holder inflicts intentional harm, the title will dissipate and there is a chance the player will incur the wrath of the God of the Ocean. The player will automatically join the Chaotic Evil faction. When venturing out to sea, the player will receive a certain debuff and the hatred of all marine creatures.]

If one were to compare the properties of different titles, the "Friend of the Ocean" title was even stronger than the "Hardworking Gardener" title!

Besides the ridiculous +1 increase to all physical fitness properties, the energy recovery speed alone would be considered a godly skill to have by some of the raft rowers!

That was a fifty percent increase in stamina, which meant that a person that could row for 25 kilometers before would be able to row for 50 kilometers now.

If one calculated using that scale, that 50% recovery speed could entirely support them in rowing 70 kilometers and or even 100 kilometers.

As for those restrictions, even though some of the viewers had their doubts, Su Mo, the person who had seen the most and understood the most, ignored those restrictions completely!

The foreign races on the sea were not covered by this restriction at all. That signified that if humans were to fight the foreign races, the humans would have their combat power increased by fifty percent just like that!

In fact, even though there was a restriction of not being able to harm marine creatures, there were many loopholes to exploit.

Unsurprisingly, after Garfield noticed the skepticism and doubts appearing on the comments screen, he shook his head lightly and began to explain.

"I see that a lot of people are concerned with the restrictions. I can tell you that they present no problems at all. For example, I am the captain of the fishing boat of the Mulanje Mountain Shelter, but when I fish…"

"I only need someone else to give me instructions, like setting down the net, hoisting the net, when to cast the net and when to reel it in."

"When I carry out these actions, I am simply following orders, which will not count as intentional actions. For each boat, as long as someone does not activate that title, even if that person possesses that title, we would simply have to follow his orders and there would be no problems!"

Garfield felt somewhat joyful as he said those words.

"That is why I suggest that those who have more than two people operating a ship follow my method. Even those who are traveling solo would not have to worry. You can always go ahead and catch enough fish and then use my method to get your title before venturing out to sea. It would not be a problem that way as well!"

The term "intention" was too broad, vague, and idealistic.

As expected, this method of exploiting a bug was simply a basic logical conclusion for a veteran like Su Mo.

However, to the typical refugee, this was a lifesaver. This sudden revelation also caused them to inquire further in the chat channel.

"Don't rush, don't rush. Not only will I demonstrate this once myself, but I will also let brother Su follow my lead in completing the entire process to obtain this title!"

Garfield waited for a moment, but there was no sign of Su Mo making a comment or remark, so he felt somewhat disappointed.. Thus, he quickly carried out the process.
