Chapter 83: Chapter 75: It seems that both parties are unable to reach a consensus on the size of the Ghost Bee.

"The ecosystem collapsed thoroughly."

On his way to acquire the ability plant suited for him that He Lingyun had predicted, Gu Shanhai didn’t rush madly; instead, he chose to walk.

Admittedly, his speed wasn’t slow, as he optimized his Qi Refining Third Layer·Spirit Root along the way, comparing the data, this ability radiation crystal was significantly better than the first one He Lingyun had given him.

If the first piece belonged to a normal tissue, then what he held now was the core.

It indeed could further strengthen his Spirit Root, not only enhancing potential but also elevating the maximum limit—as well as the amplification bestowed by this stage.

Currently, his Spirit Root was just a bit shy of reaching the F-level limit, but with another enhancement, the limit would continue to rise. If the enhancement was successful, an F-level ability could rival a C-level of an ordinary player’s ability, or even match a D-level of a high-order ability.

It was, after all, an integration of seven combined with multiple enhancements, stacking several body-based abilities naturally made it extremely formidable.

Under normal circumstances, a single basic ability had to reach at least C-level to be useful, otherwise it appeared rather inadequate initially, however, this wasn’t the case for Gu Shanhai.

As for how the levels and limits of abilities were judged, it was fairly simple for Gu Shanhai; as long as he felt the rate of his physical quality improvement slowing down, he was nearing the limit. Once it completely stopped, it meant he could proceed to the next stage of enhancement.

The method to distinguish it was indeed very simple.

If he couldn’t understand the abilities he modified himself, wouldn’t that seem rather incompetent?

Now, he already had a plan for enhancing his Spirit Root, and he had reached the stage of confirmation. As long as everything checked out, he could begin the enhancement.

That’s why he wasn’t in a rush—partly for his ability, and naturally because there was still time.

But as the days passed, he started understanding He Lingyun’s urgency—the collapse of the ecosystem was severe. Currently, there were still reserves left by humanity before, but these reserves weren’t permanent, and restoring the ecosystem wouldn’t be easy.

So... he set his sights on aliens.

With the help of players, he was like a tiger with wings added. First, by killing or possibly merging with the source of an ability, then attracting an alien civilization to steal the ship, he directly jumped into interstellar civilization, thus solving the resource problem.

In the future, this planet would see the re-emergence of ecosystems, but all these were irrelevant to them. Whether ability beasts or ability plants, they were destined for extinction, their numbers scarce, and the vast lands meant they didn’t even have conditions to reproduce—well, probably not even food.

At first, it was slightly better, with genetically collapsed animals and plants, while microbes and the like were not struck fatally. After these plants and animals decayed, ability beasts would have nothing to eat, and the ability plants were even worse off—either eaten by ability beasts or dying alone.

Even if they reproduced, they wouldn’t cause much change to the overall ecosystem.

"Any movement? Sounds like a vehicle moving, just a bit far away, sixth sense quiet, probably no danger," Gu Shanhai noticed as he walked.

His Qi Refining Second Level·Perception and Qi Refining Third Level·Spirit Root naturally amplified his senses, combined with the passive boost from Yuan Suo Grass, naturally making his senses even keener.

On regular days, this also brought him quite a bit of annoyance, but he got used to it eventually and didn’t feel much anymore.

Then he saw a black dot in the distance approaching from afar, most likely a person, but a small chance it might be an awakened ability beast or ability plant smart enough.

As the two got closer, the other party seemed to have also spotted Gu Shanhai.

"Riding a motorcycle, looks quite cool, but he didn’t bring anything. Is he just out for a stroll?" Gu Shanhai wondered. If it was a long journey, unless it was a space-related ability, not bringing anything... seemed to have no significant impact.

With all people gone, whatever one wanted could just be taken from the city.

"Young man, where are you headed?"

The motorcycle stopped, and the rider took off his helmet; a middle-aged man with a very regular appearance, now confirmed to be an ability user.

"I’m heading to the neighboring province, are you out for a walk?" Gu Shanhai retorted.

"What walk? With everyone dead, I plan to find some people. How about we go together?" the other man invited.

Gu Shanhai shook his head, "No thanks, I have other plans. But if you want to find people, just follow this road down, and you’ll find the base. Not long ago, they just shot down an alien ship. You must have seen it."

"Aliens? Haven’t seen them. Maybe it’s too far away, is it that ridiculous now?" The middle-aged man was a bit dumbfounded, not anticipating even aliens being involved.

It was normal for the other party not to know about the alien ship, separated by an entire province. Besides, the man might have been riding before and didn’t notice these things.

He naturally wouldn’t dig deeper—since the two weren’t familiar, there was no need
