My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Chapter 675: Five Years, Eight Years, Ten Years! Part 1

“It’s a magical place that allowed me to temporarily break through the traveling restrictions and gain the authority to go to the ruins with the unique gadget.

“It was even more magical after entering the ruins as it allowed me to make several selections.”

In the eyes of an ordinary person, a territory lord was supreme and enjoyed the jurisdiction of hundreds of thousands of people. They even had the authority to use the resources however they pleased.

However, only territory lords understood the limitations the title brought on.

Feng Mengyue could not help but wonder how Su Mo had successfully left his territory and gained a higher degree of freedom to travel than when she had the prop with her.

Despite being curious, Feng Mengyue understood that to have so much freedom, Su Mo must have acquired an even more powerful item, which would be impossible for an ordinary person ever to achieve.

It would seem weird for her to suddenly inquire about it if Su Mo does not mention it first.

“Several selections? Is it a quest-type ruin?”

Su Mo was deep in thought, and his heart could not stop pounding heavily, but he could maintain a calm appearance.

“Yeah, it was similar to how quest-type relics would give quest selections, but it was slightly different at the same time.

...

“The ruins gave me three quest options in total.

“The first was for me to travel five years into the future of the Mountain Moon Territory. I will take on the role of the territory lord and lead the residents under my command to successfully survive a disaster. The ruins will give me an appropriate reward for my performance when I complete the disaster.

“The second option was to travel eight years into the future of the Mountain Moon Territory, but this time I wouldn’t be the territory lord and instead an ordinary resident in the territory. Similarly, I would have to help the territory survive through the disaster smoothly and would be rewarded accordingly.

“As for the final option, according to the game descriptions, it said I would be directly transported ten years later in the Mountain Moon Territory. However, there would be more restrictions. I won’t be a territory lord nor a resident in the territory. It even allowed me to not even go near the territory if I chose not to, but the final requirement of the mission was the same—to overcome the disaster.”

When Feng Mengyue finished speaking, all three present, including Su Mo, were shocked.

“This...”

“It makes sense to be within the territory and help the territory survive the disaster, but the third option requested you to take on the role of an outsider to help the territory survive the disaster? What’s the point of doing so?”

Guan Yuan condemned the quest completion requirement.

Feng Mengyue shook her head and said, “When I saw the third option, I did not understand its meaning too, and since I wasn’t sure how many tries I was given to enter the ruins, I went with the safest choice of five years. Therefore, I couldn’t see how grand the Mountain Moon Territory would have evolved in the next ten years.

“Maybe it still existed or had already perished within the Great Mountains.”

It took months to build a simple house. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ꜰire

It would take six months or a year to build a practical large-scale building.

Developing an empty wasteland into a rich agricultural land from scratch would take at least three to five years.

A tree took ten years for it to grow from a seed into a mature tree with a dense crown.

However, through the game, you could easily see the seed you planted grow into a towering tree after entering the ruins.

Such methods were equivalent to godly powers!

“That can’t be all to it. Let’s say you enter the Mountain Moon Territory five years from now, and even if your mission completion performance were abysmal and you didn’t get any good rewards, it wouldn’t be a big deal either.

“You could memorize various new technologies and achievements that you would be able to develop in the past five years time gap alone and bring them back to the present. Wouldn’t that be more rewarding than the rewards given by the ruins?”

According to Feng Mengyue’s description and looking at the current situation of Mountain Moon Territory, Su Mo quickly discovered the problem.

The previous ruins of times allowed time travel into the past, but because of the time constraints, it made it difficult to make any substantial progress and bring them back to reality.

However, traveling into the future was completely different.

For example, Heaven’s Origin could instruct Lu Kuan to start developing a technology that would earn them a milestone before he entered the ruins.

The technology development would not be too hard, but because of the cumbersome process, it would take a lot of time to experiment and perfect it.

Through the unique attributes of the ruins, he could easily travel a few years into the future and calmly ask about the details, then obtain the detailed graphs of the completed development.

Even if the completion of the quest had poor performance, it would be enough as long as he could complete the baseline and return to reality.

The difference between the several years’ gaps allowed them to obtain technology throughout it quickly!
