Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
What sort of power lay in having authority?
What was the source? What were its limits?
Su Mo was beset by many difficulties ever since he obtained the Food Authority.
He had once speculated by using this authority, he would obtain God-like abilities, much like in the mythological stories of Huaxia.
He attained a new level at every turn.
He also speculated the different dimensional change and the sense of detachment as a three-dimensional living being he would experience through this authority.
As of now, Su Mo achieved enlightenment after utilizing this authority!
“Amazing. This is how the three-dimensional world operates, no wonder we can never escape from the limitations of the rules!”
Su Mo eased up while going through the void.
However, numerous strange images were projected onto his retina.
Unusual shapes of 0 flashed past, followed by a large number of 1 in the dense mixture.
Subsequently, numerous symbols began to resonate with the numbers which appeared prior at the same frequency.
Everyone knew that the world of programming was filled with calculators which could distinguish the structures of 0 and 1.
Complicated instruction sets were constituted by using these two simple numbers only.
This was the reason why calculators were able to comprehend the value of the items keyed in.
The basic level of the three-dimensional world had a lot in common with the numbers 0 and 1 in the coding world.
However, the three-dimensional world was not made up of the numbers 0 and 1 only, it involved the merging of dense basic logic by iteration.
The entire world began to evolve and the rules were continuously perfected along the way with the use of this logic.
Similar to developing a game, more details were required to be filled up and more code blocks were grouped to constitute a rich and diverse parallel universe.
People who lived in this world were just like the game characters.
They were able to lift up their swords as well as other unusual game props.
They were able to deduce the rules behind such happenings and gradually developed game props and swords.
However, the three-dimensional human beings were unable to understand the coding logic behind these game props to create something out of thin air.
“This is definitely an ability that only a four-dimensional living being can possess!”
“In their eyes, this ability is similar to how we can understand coding, but for us who are living in the three-dimensional world…”
“This is an absolute cognitive barrier!”
Although the authority of the God of Cooking was driven, Su Mo still lacked in such basic knowledge!
Similarly, even if you could see through thick frosted glass, you could not get a clear vision.
He had to get his hands on more forms of authority for the thickness of the glass to be reduced until…it disappeared!
“It’s alright not to be able to see the opposite side of the world clearly. If 1 am to use it once, the game will surely detect something unusual.”
“I have to prepare myself for a quick escape!”
After spending some time operating it, Su Mo realized the way he was using the authority to peek into the “opposite side of the world” would not cause the game to respond in kind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNeedless to say, the game might have been updated which caused the surveillance authority on the Wasteland to weaken temporarily.
However, Su Mo knew very well as an observer who was aligned with the same direction.
Comparing his distance, the game was closer to the opposite side of the world.
If he has used his authority, no matter more or less, the game would surely take heed.
He put a halt to his intentions in retrieving the items using his authority.
Su Mo strode forward and headed straight to the captain’s quarters as his gaze swept over the storage room on the rocket.
“If we can get the energy in place, what is the shortest time to launch?”
Lu Kuan lowered his head and typed away. He then replied, “once the energy is in place in thirty-five seconds, the self-assessment takes up twenty-five seconds and we can launch in ten seconds after the
self-assessment is completed.”
“That’s not enough. Can we forgo the self-assessment and launch immediately?”
Lu Kuan shook his head and said, “we will still need at least fifteen seconds as we need to reserve some time for the ceiling to open up. We can’t just launch whenever we want to!”
“Alright then, let’s prepare for launch. Once the energy is in place, just launch regardless of any danger involved!”
“Understood!”
After settling the rocket launch matter, Su Mo strode to the energy center as he watched the panel lit up with green-colored lights.
Approximately fifty seconds later, Lu Kuan went to him with an update.
The rocket could be launched immediately once the energy was in place!
One last thing was needed before everything fell into place.
Su Mo did not wait around for the last thing and he took something out slowly as he faced the void.
An item the size of a walnut gave out a deep purple-colored glow in his palm.
Energy Walnut (Epic Level)]
Description: A super walnut was filled with a huge source of energy. It was said that these walnut trees bloomed and fruit once every nine thousand years. It would only mature in eighteen thousand years, but as this
legend was passed down for too many generations, this became something unusual and rarely spotted in the universe. There were not many who knew of its existence. Note: The energy in the walnut can be easily
converted into other types of energy supplies. It not only can be used within a living being, but it can also be used in vehicles, weapons, defense tools, and many other areas.]
Quantity of Energy: 3p]
Supply Method: Access Function]
Energy Recovery: Unable to recover (Energy diminishes after usage)]
‘Comment: Ginseng Fruit (x), alien world version of a back scratcher ()]
This walnut might only be of Epic Level.
However, the pure energy in it was much more powerful than those of Legend Level that could terrify anyone.
Su Mo threw it into the energy center at once after he extracted it from the void. He shouted, “launch it now!”
it was obvious he was being watched.
Although Su Mo had no idea how far it was, he suddenly had a feeling Doomsday was approaching.
Even though it sounded terrifying, nothing befell him eventually. He was fortunate to be well-protected by the Deep Sea and had a perfectly disguised system.
Su Mo heaved a sigh of relief once Lu Kuan began the countdown to launch.
“Ready… 3.”
“2…”
“La”
Boom!
The ceiling of the base opened.
The bottom of the psychic energy shuttle rocket spouted blue flames, which produced a strong thrust that propelled the rocket upward.
The speed was not affected the slightest no matter how thousand tons of pressure from the Deep Sea were exerted.
“Is it done?”
“Did the game discover my existence?”
Su Mo was delighted to watch the base below him gradually disappear from view. The fear and the unsettled feelings he had diminished.
As he was about to say something, the feeling of being watched was dozen times more frightening.
Unlike the last time, the system appeared this time!
[Warning!]
[Warning!]
[Warning!]
‘An unknown enemy was detected attempting to gain access to the host information. Would the host like to have a shield? This shield would require 1200 survival points!]
An unknown enemy was detected attempting to gain access to the exact location where the host was using the authority. Would the host like to have a shield? This shield would require 658900 survival points!]
‘An unknown enemy was detected attempting to track the host’s previous location. Would the host like to have a shield? This shield would require 7200 survival points!]

Similar to a maggot in a tarsal bone, Su Mo was deafened by the ear-splitting noise of the dozens of bright red-colored prompts.
A total of six different pieces of information required shielding. Without considering the most expensive second selection, the other five selections would require more than ten thousand points!
The system did not prompt for such a high amount of payment during the previous game assessment.
Su Mo shuddered at the sight of these huge numbers. He immediately agreed on the five selections except for the one with the base location.
Empiricism cost him his life!
This was a game tactic used by the players on the Wasteland.
o one could open fire within the limits of rules.
However, the Gods believe the game could perform unscrupulous attacks and inevitably destroy everything.
ff Su Mo had not made preparations earlier, he would have fled with Oreo.
He would not be able to bring along the chests of brains and the equipment in the rocket!
“Lu Kuan, what is the distance between us and the surface of the ocean?”
“There’s another two thousand and one hundred meters. Two thousand meters. Wait, what’s that?”
Su Mo reverted to his first form and sprinted to the captain’s quarters while roaring.
Lu Kuan who was seated at the co-captain’s seat, also roared as though he saw something unbelievable.
Su Mo covered his head and rushed into the room while ignoring Lu Kuan who was shouting. He quickly sat on the captain’s seat and glanced around.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter the slight delay, the rocket was now eight hundred meters away from the surface of the ocean.
An estimated three seconds was how long it would take the rocket to hit the surface of the ocean.
Through the defense test module of the psychic energy shuttle rocket, they were able to see a powerful explosion right above the surface of the ocean.
If they did not change their direction or come to a halt, there would be a collision.
When that happened, even if the rocket’s outer layer was made out of Level Eleven Alloy, it would not be able to withstand the damage brought by this level of power.
Su Mo stared at the different types of data on the screen and for some reason, he had a strange feeling of familiarity.
Su Mo reacted in the next second.
The game used the authority to stop him!
Should he escape or go for it?
Su Mo was left with only seven seconds to make a decision.
“Don’t change course. Go for it. We need to move ahead to survive!”
He clenched his jaw under immense pressure and forced himself not to look at the handlebar next to him.
Su Mo’s eyes swept the data panel and looked out the glass window.
At that moment, they were only one hundred meters away before hitting the surface of the ocean.
Light scattered through the bottom of the water.
Seconds later, the rocket shot upward from the water and soared into the sky, emitting tail flame.
At that moment, Su Mo could see the attack he was about to face.
It was also at this moment the grim look on his face disappeared while he heaved a sigh of relief.
A huge, light gray-colored hand was circling above the ocean.
As the rocket shot upward, the huge hand came crashing down.
Something incredible happened.
The surface of the psychic energy shuttle rocket lit up with a bright flash of blue-colored light and went through the huge hand without any issue. The rocket did not slow down.
The rocket was exempted from getting attacked according to the rules!
The huge hand from below did not come chasing after them. Instead, it smashed onto the surface of the ocean, causing the entire surface to collapse and plummeted several meters down in an instant.
“What the f*ck… What the f*ck was that? Was that an anti-gravity attack or a proton attack?”
“Damn, that was f*cking scary!”
The attack could still be clearly seen from the video feed in the spacecraft.
The ocean region that was attacked had a shapeless void.
This void was not formed from the ocean water that was squeezed out at the sides.
Rather…whatever was below just vanished!
It was a fifty-kilometers range with five thousand meters worth of deep ocean water that evaporated in an instant.
Nothing came out of the base that was built with Level Four Alloy as it was annihilated from the Wasteland during the attack.
The game might not release much, but once it did, its power was staggering.
There was no doubt that even if Su Mo was at the bottom with Level Eleven or Level Twenty Alloy, there would still be no alternate ending.
“Damn, he is surely a rich and grouchy dictator!”
He was still in shock as he wiped the cold sweat away from his forehead while looking at the fast-approaching clouds in the sky.
Su Mo finally could not withhold his excitement and burst out laughing uproariously as he stood up.
No matter how disappointing and vexing the game was, this round was still considered…his victory!.
