Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Higher Order World - Sacred Federation

[High-Order World: Sacred Federation]

[Mission: Participate in the development of ancient relics and witness the excavation of the supernatural core]

In the alley, Gu Shanhai rubbed the back of his head, looking at the mission and feeling somewhat helpless.

"The mission actually turned out to be this... It indeed poses quite a few problems for me."

At the beginning, this world was just a regular technological world, where most players came either for sightseeing or to brush up on some skills, such as firearms expertise or vehicle driving, and of course, if one could advance further, they could also obtain some equipment and professions.

But three months later, a wide range of supernatural awakenings swept through, ushering in the era of supernatural abilities, and then this world became highly coveted. As long as one accumulated points from completing missions to exchange for a supernatural awakening potion, they could obtain a significant evolvable talent in the early stage.

Naturally, if one wanted to evolve this talent, they had to complete missions in this world to gather materials, thus many would max out their talents before leaving.

In his previous life, when Gu Shanhai entered the Sacred Federation, it was already the era of supernatural abilities. He didn’t even need to grind missions, as he could simply find merchant players in the Sacred Federation and buy a potion directly. He even collected many upgrade materials and upgraded his F-grade supernatural ability straight to C-grade, with the highest naturally being SSS-grade. However, all awakened abilities of players started at the lowest F-grade.

Back then, the prices of materials plummeted, and many merchant players were close to giving up on this business.

Because newbies genuinely had no money, and more importantly, many more high-order worlds had been opened thereafter, naturally providing better initial benefits.

"However, this mission does indeed need to be undertaken." Gu Shanhai knew, he definitely had no way to awaken successfully through just a supernatural awakening potion, because he was neither a native nor a player.

The supernatural awakening potion was designed for natives, and players could awaken supernatural abilities because they were semi-digitized, unlike Gu Shanhai who neither shared completely consistent genes with the former nor the unscientific attributes of the players.

Thus, if he wanted to awaken a supernatural ability, he needed to research and develop his own suitable potion; otherwise, using the Sacred Federation’s potion would only have a 0.1% chance of successful awakening, while the rest likely resulted in genetic collapse and death.

As the source of supernatural abilities, the ancient core naturally could provide sufficient resources.

"In my previous life, no player undertook this mission, after all, it belonged to the Sacred Federation’s relic research project, and players who had just arrived didn’t have enough social status."

"Moreover, such a confidential project was unlikely to be accessed by players in the short term."

Initially, players were somewhat interested, but after one or two days, upon discovering no transcendent powers, most withdrew to brush through instances, only to return after the arrival of the supernatural era.

So, in a lackluster interest, no player would delve deeply into the subplots.

Moreover, he had not heard of anyone having corresponding clues on the forums in his previous life, so this also could only rely on himself.

"The first step is to find a way to mix into the research team, but I’m essentially off the grid."

"Damn it, the first step is not finding a way to mix into the research team, but to locate this research team."

Gu Shanhai quickly realized that mixing in was another matter, the real issue was how to find the team responsible for the project.

In his previous life, he had completely overlooked the development of this world, leaving the Sacred Federation after upgrading his supernatural ability to C-grade and mixing in other worlds.

As a world akin to a stepping stone, naturally, he wouldn’t stay long.

Later, for his rebirth contingency plan, he also collected much information, but by then the Sacred Federation had long perished for unknown reasons, probably only surviving until the second version, its reasons naturally unfathomable.

Thus, the information he gathered was also extremely limited.

He didn’t regret it as much as it caused him headaches.

Especially the matter of identity proof; at the beginning, all people in the Sacred Federation were quite wary of players, so he had to disguise himself as a native, and a single identity could solve all issues.

"A fake certificate probably wouldn’t work; information is already interconnected. Substitution is even more precarious; I don’t have the ability to change."

Honestly, if this mission hadn’t hit close to his heart, according to his plan, he was supposed to spend these three months in the library or find a quiet place for secluded cultivation.

He would only act after three months when the ancient core was activated and merged into the planetary circulation system, ushering in the era of supernatural abilities.

By then, he would try to awaken supernatural abilities, a crucial part of his plan.

In his previous life, after he became wealthy, he also returned to the Sacred Federation and sponsored a team that helped him elevate his supernatural ability to SSS-grade.

His supernatural ability was called Life Enhancement, which was, increased health, health recovery, defensive power, physique, amongst other passive skills, and belonged to basic type supernatural abilities.

Similar abilities included Strength Enhancement and Agility Enhancement.

Although they were basic types, that didn’t mean they were weak; after reaching SSS-grade, they were essential abilities for a tanky build; at the beginning, most professional clubs would wash out a Life Enhancement for their tanks, and of course, a few might need multiple, which would require special tools.

Indeed, players could re-roll their supernatural abilities, but natives couldn’t.

In his previous life, Gu Shanhai used Life Enhancement, which he found very useful because its talent transformed drastically at SSS-grade, solving his longevity issue, yes, it offered eternal youth.

Naturally, the capabilities of Life Enhancement didn’t stop there; it could further develop abilities such as rapid self-healing, limb regeneration, rebirth from a drop of blood, and so on.

As for not getting Life Enhancement this life, that was impossible. Although supernatural awakening was said to be random, it actually depended on the dominant gene, and players’ first awakening would definitely be their dominant gene. Therefore, unless using a special supernatural awakening potion, it would invariably awaken that ability.

And for Gu Shanhai, the potion was tailored for him, surely modified towards his own needs, ensuring the awakening of the required Life Enhancement ability without fear of mishaps.

In this regard, he naturally had a complete plan and process, although the mission for the ancient core, the source of supernatural abilities, had introduced certain changes, the essence actually remained unchanged; it was still about developing a suitable potion for himself.

Thus, not only did he need to integrate into the research team, but he also needed to participate in the development of the supernatural potion.

Plans could never keep up with changes, and if rebirth came without the butterfly effect, then it wouldn’t be true rebirth.
