Chapter 363: New Abilities After Title Advancement, Entering the Mountain Stone Shelter World
When Yu Yuan opened his eyes again, he was already back at the shelter. He looked at the ginseng in his hand and smiled.
This was a rare-tier hundred-year-old mountain ginseng.
Although its effect could not compare with that previous epic-tier Spiritual Ginseng, it was still a fine item.
"I didn't expect an extra surprise before leaving!"
Yu Yuan went to the Mechanical Material Sorting Warehouse and began emptying the Rabbit Ring and the Motel Main Guest Room of their supplies.
Fang knew what Yu Yuan was doing and came running as soon as she heard.
Seeing the large quantities of various jerky, mushrooms, medicinal herbs, and vegetables, a bright joy flashed in her eyes.
Even though the shelter was well stocked, after eating so many processed foods, anyone would drool at the sight of natural ingredients.
Yu Yuan liked this sort of thing too, so he said to Fang, "Boil some of these, satisfy our cravings tonight! As for these vegetables, ask Dale if he can keep them alive."
When Yu Yuan had harvested the vegetables earlier, he had carefully dug them up with roots and soil intact; if they could be replanted and revived, that would be ideal.Fang nodded in understanding and immediately went to look for Dale.
Yu Yuan emptied all the supplies.
He returned to the Rest Area and then carefully checked the detailed information about the previous upgrade to the Rare Item Long Staircase title.
He was quite surprised by this title upgrade.
He had almost given up on upgrading the Rare Item Long Staircase title before, since there had been no clue at all.
Now things had suddenly turned around.
Only after thinking it over did Yu Yuan belatedly realize his own oversight.
After opening the Rare Item Long Staircase title path, weren't the rewarded Spirit Collector and Rare Item Workshop designed specifically for enhancing rare artifacts?
In fact, optimizing rare artifacts to climb the leaderboard was not difficult for him.
Binding Bramble was a perfect example; uncommon rare artifacts that hadn't yet ranked were still easy to obtain.
The newly gained ability from the Empowering Hands title also looked very useful to Yu Yuan.
After the Peering Eye title's development progressed to Perfect, the previous title's effects had been solidly enhanced.
Title: Peering Eye (Perfect)
Quality: Rare
Path: Rare Item Long Staircase
Effects:
1) Activates Spiritual Vision, mental resistance +25, mental trauma recovery speed +40%;
2) When observing a target creature/item, you can discern the target's energy flow patterns and spirituality trait types, and have a chance to see through creature weaknesses;
3) Adds an optimization path to the shelter facility Workbench — Rare Item Workshop.
(Kind reminder: Peering Eye effects depend on the power gap between both parties.)
——————————
Title: Empowering Hands
Quality: Rare
Path: Rare Item Long Staircase
Effects:
1) Grants the hands the ability to alter energy flow patterns and restructure material composition.
2) Can consume spiritual materials to temporarily empower and strengthen items.
3) Can consume the user's own spiritual energy to temporarily repair damaged items/facilities, restoring them to working order.
—————————
The Peering Eye title not only increased mental resistance and mental trauma recovery speed again.
Previously it only had a chance to see through creature weaknesses; now it could also clearly detect the target's energy flow patterns and spirituality trait types.
As for the Empowering Hands title, to Yu Yuan it was practically another form of Rare Item Workshop.
If the three abilities were used properly, they could produce incredible effects in specific scenarios.
And the reward for achieving the Rare Item Researcher achievement turned out to be an item — the Researcher Gloves.
Its effect: when manipulating spiritual energy, operation effectiveness +10%.
Yu Yuan put them on at once.
The next second, the semi-transparent gloves fitted perfectly over his hands and slowly tightened.
They actually fused with his hands like that.
Yu Yuan flexed and rubbed his hands.
Indeed, the skin texture and feel remained, as if the gloves didn't exist at all.
But as soon as he thought of taking them off, the Researcher Gloves slowly reappeared over his hands.
Yu Yuan's eyes lit up.
This thing was interesting.
Since removing them was optional, he had no complaints; after integrating the gloves into his skin, he paid them no further mind.
The gains from this trip to the Firefly Earth shelter far exceeded his expectations.
He felt even more anticipation for the upcoming Mountain Stone Shelter.
Checking the time, it was barely noon.
After eating a little, Yu Yuan summoned Mie Mie and Zhi Zhi again.
He opened the Virtual Light Screen and selected the Mountain Stone Shelter world coordinates.
It still cost 500,000 survival points, and they vanished from the shelter.
Dadadada—
Just as Yu Yuan completed the teleport, intense battle noises reached his ears.
Yu Yuan crouched immediately and quickly scanned his surroundings.
He had appeared atop a mountain peak, and directly in front of him was a huge rock.
The sounds of combat came from below that rock.
He moved past the giant stone; this was no mountain range, it was a cliff.
Below the cliff lay a wasteland highway, where five wasteland combat vehicles were chasing in a formation of two in front, three in back.
Watching the vehicles gradually disappear, Yu Yuan frowned slightly.
His gaze went toward the end of the highway.
Where there is a road, there must be human settlements at either end; even if not a city, there would at least be towns.
As the combat vehicles vanished, Yu Yuan began to take in the surrounding environment.
In front of him was the cliff; beyond it, a vast forest; farther out he could see flat grasslands, streams, and waterfalls.
This was clearly a composite ecological region, and with human settlements on both sides of the road, the area’s environment was quite complex.
But the natural resources here were plentiful.
Stone, wood, water, fresh grass — combined with industrial materials from nearby human settlements, this area had considerable potential.
With care, it could enter a rapid development phase.
"Better find the Mountain Stone shelter location quickly and then decide!"
Because the Virtual Light Screen provided no direct guide to the shelter, Yu Yuan had to use the old method: let Zhi Zhi summon nearby native rats to ask around.
Only then did Yu Yuan truly appreciate how fantastic Zhi Zhi’s ability was.
Rats are among the hardiest creatures on Earth; unless an environment is extremely hostile, rats will be present.
And Zhi Zhi, as a ruler among rodents, could easily gather a group of native rats with a summons — for searching or locating targets, it was incredibly convenient.
Indeed, it worked.
Soon a group of rock rats, mountain field mice, and forest mice gathered.
Zhi Zhi stood upright and, flailing hands and feet, began asking these native rodent creatures if any had seen a place where wild boars frequently appeared.
The wild boar troop tied to the Mountain Stone shelter would be the perfect target; no matter where they went, they stood out, impossible to hide.
Sure enough, the little rodents all copied Zhi Zhi's posture and pointed their front paws in the same direction.
Yu Yuan froze when he saw where they pointed.
Because the direction those little creatures indicated was precisely the one the group of thugs had been driving off toward just moments ago....
