Chapter 340 [Sacrifice: Flame Spike Meteorite Spear]
These three extraordinary materials of Sequence Seven were given to them by Lin Chaoyuan and his group.
In addition to the three extraordinary materials, they also gave him an automatic rifle. Chu Sheng didn't know what model the rifle was, but it looked much more advanced than the guns in TV shows and movies.
"We need to think carefully about how to handle this."
For other teams, Chu Sheng would also help them customize sacrificial offerings, but he would only make do with something perfunctory, something that would at least look passable.
But this was an order from the Fire Seed Base, and Chu Sheng had no intention of fooling anyone.
Having lived in the apocalypse for so long, he hadn't seen a particularly large number of sequence ability users, but he had clearly realized one thing.
In this world with sequences, some things are easy to verify.
Meanwhile, these spark bases are all incredibly wealthy. Let alone whether they have any trump cards to communicate with each other now, even if we take a step back and assume they don't have any communication sequences or offerings, or the ability to meet and contact each other, what will happen next?
Chu Sheng had no doubt about their capabilities. For these Spark Bases, once a Spark Base had a contactable sequence similar to the trading sequence or the sequence like Qi Yu from Li Feifei's team, it would be a great help.
Then they can quickly connect with each other, even if that connection is limited.
After all, for these spark bases, other spark bases have an inherent affinity with each other compared to other teams in the apocalypse.
As long as it can be confirmed that Chu Sheng has successfully traded with several Fireseed Bases or helped other Fireseed Bases, then in other Fireseed Bases, although Chu Sheng may not be as good as other Fireseed Bases, his priority is higher than that of other races or even survivors.
As for whether the official channels are trustworthy, Chu Sheng hadn't given it much thought.
After all, apart from the people in their own team, the other survivors were indeed not as trustworthy as the official ones.
Putting everything else aside, what is there about an official organization that can broadcast nationwide information about the existence of the Sequence, survival methods, bizarre behavior, types of offerings, and so on right at the start of the apocalypse that isn't trustworthy?
Stay vigilant, conduct normal transactions, and lend a helping hand when possible—that's his attitude towards the official Spark Base.
While the authorities can be trusted, it is still necessary to remain vigilant given that this is the end of the world.
Chu Sheng was lost in thought as he picked up the automatic rifle from the ground and began to ponder.
What Lin Chaoyuan and his group wanted was actually quite simple: a Sequence 7 sacrificial object that reached the Sequence 7 level, possessed ranged attack capabilities, unlimited ammo or regenerable ammo, and could safely eliminate the strange creatures.
If possible, it would be best to have an early warning system.
These requirements are actually quite difficult for offerings of Sequence Nine or even Sequence Eight.
But this is a Sequence 7 offering.
So these requirements aren't difficult, but Chu Sheng didn't make many promises.
He only promised Lin Chaoyuan and the others unlimited bullets or bullets that could be replenished, and that their offerings would reach the seventh level of the Sequence. As for other abilities, he could only say that he would try his best.
It wasn't that he couldn't do it, but that the compensation they offered wasn't enough.
“A gun, plus one of the remaining superhuman peas.” Chu Sheng muttered, but quickly frowned.
The bullet problem is easy, but Sequence 7 is a bit more difficult.
Old Man Li's extraordinary peas, when used as sacrificial offerings, also possess unique characteristics, though they lack the conceptual significance of ordinary extraordinary materials.
The unique characteristic of the Super Pea is its ability to converge.
Although this pea looks no different from an ordinary pea, it is not actually a physical entity, but rather a product of energy convergence.
So calling it a pea isn't entirely accurate; its proper name is pea kernel.
However, Chu Sheng was not like Old Man Li, who was a farmer, so he could call him whatever he wanted.
This pea is also the reason why Chu Sheng dares to guarantee them unlimited bullets or bullet refills.
Simply put, once this gathering characteristic is incorporated into the offering, it will gather energy on its own.
While this characteristic, when integrated into firearms, most likely means gathering energy from heaven and earth to enhance the firearms' strength, Chu Sheng can make the sacrificial offerings evolve in the direction he envisions.
Whether it's used to enhance the strength of firearms or collected in magazines to serve as bullets is entirely up to him.
"Still not quite right," Chu Sheng thought to himself. Then he looked at the three extraordinary materials on the ground, thought for a moment, and picked up the branch that was still green and looked like it was still growing.
To upgrade the offering to Sequence 7, one must fuse a Sequence 7 extraordinary material, but he himself does not have any suitable Sequence 7 materials for firearms.
While unsuitable extraordinary materials are acceptable, the uncertainty is too great, and even he cannot make the offerings evolve according to his wishes.
At that point, this gun might just become a toy.
It looks like a gun, but it can only be used to smash people.
That's too abstract.
On the contrary, the extraordinary material in the form of a tree branch that Lin Chaoyuan and the others gave them was barely acceptable.
The concept is growth, and the characteristic is continuous generation.
It aligns well with the concept and characteristics of plants, and this concept and characteristics can be integrated with the previous concepts when applied to firearms.
Together, they transform the magazine into a core, continuously gathering bullets. The bullets are nourished by the concept of growth, and when they are fired and hit the target, they continue to grow, bursting out from the enemy's body.
In this way, the power was guaranteed, and the bullets became unlimited.
He fulfilled his promise perfectly.
Thinking of this, Chu Sheng was about to take action, but soon he seemed to remember something and put the peas, guns, and branches on the ground.
He himself walked out.
At that moment, Old Man Li was teaching the survivors how to farm in the field. When he saw Chu Sheng coming over, he stopped what he was doing and said, "Go to that field and do as I say. I'll come find you in a bit."
He dismissed one of the survivors beside him, then looked at Chu Sheng and asked, "Did you need something from me?"
"It's nothing serious, I just suddenly remembered your exploding chili pepper when I was making offerings for them."
"Spicy Chili Peppers?" Old Man Li said the name of the chili pepper. Chu Sheng nodded, "As you know, the order was placed by people from the Fire Seed Base. Nobody knows if they can share intelligence. Even if they can't now, they definitely will be in the future, so I'm going to make sure they get the best quality."
“That’s how it should be,” Old Man Li nodded in agreement.
Unlike Chu Sheng, he came from that era and had a deeper affection for the government. Even though the Fire Seed Base wasn't truly official, he still considered it part of the government.
Although Old Man Li was sentimental, he wasn't stupid. Upon hearing Chu Sheng's words, he immediately understood and asked, "So you've come to ask me for help?"
"Hmm." Chu Sheng nodded, stepped forward, glanced at the ground where holes had just been dug but seeds hadn't been planted yet, and said, "I'll ask you for a chili pepper."
"They customized a gun and incorporated a fiery chili pepper into it, which might produce an explosive effect."
"Alright." Upon hearing this, Old Man Li didn't hesitate for long and directly took out a fiery chili pepper from his pocket and handed it to him. "Here you go."
Taking the fiery chili pepper, Chu Sheng gave him a strange look, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Seemingly sensing his thoughts, Old Man Li waved his hand, "You know, I'm just an old man with no fighting ability. All I know is farming. It's normal for me to carry some chili peppers and cucumbers with me."
As he spoke, he pulled out a cucumber about the size of his palm from his pocket.
Upon hearing his explanation, Chu Sheng accepted this explanation.
"Aren't you still making sacrificial offerings? Hurry up and go, I still need to teach them how to farm." Old Man Li said, while continuing to curse, "What they planted before was just a pile of dog shit!"
"Although they can survive and bear fruit, the yield is estimated to be less than half of what I expected. We can't let them waste the rest of the land!"
"Damn it, watering the seeds makes them float up from the ground!"
Watching Old Man Li leave cursing, Chu Sheng shook his head and returned to the Dark Moon Tower.
"Everything is ready." Chu Sheng looked at the extraordinary materials on the ground, and with a thought, these extraordinary materials floated up.
The futuristic-looking gun floated at the very center, surrounded by three extraordinary materials: a pea core, a verdant branch, and a fiery chili pepper, forming a triangular shape.
There was no white light, no strange phenomena, only silence, a silence as still as death.
After advancing to Sequence Six, Chu Sheng's authority and control over the sequence gradually deepened, as evidenced by the disappearance of the white light when creating the sacrificial offering.
The white light is essentially the power of the Heavenly Craft Sequence, a power that Chu Sheng couldn't fully control, and thus leaked out during fusion and upgrading.
This was the first time he had created a sacrificial object since advancing to Sequence Six, and compared to before, Chu Sheng's perspective at this moment had become even more peculiar.
Although no white light appeared on his face, in Chu Sheng's eyes at this moment, everything in the world seemed to be the ultimate truth of the universe.
The four materials floating in front of him, besides the automatic rifle, also demonstrated their own concepts and characteristics.
In Chu Sheng's eyes, these three extraordinary materials were like building blocks; he could easily extract a part of them, or even their concepts and characteristics, and apply them to the main body.
"First, the pea." With a thought, Chu Sheng caused the pea's core to instantly disintegrate, turning into countless streams of energy that flowed through the air like a river, drifting towards the automatic rifle's magazine and merging with it. The peas in the magazine were then converted into pure energy.
With the pea core collapsing, the next one to be the hot pepper is to be cooked.
Under the same operation, as Chu Sheng had planned, the Spicy Pepper also collapsed in an instant, its composition and essence clearly seen by Chu Sheng.
Subsequently, the concept of the explosion, along with the concept of the peas gathering, was incorporated into the magazine and combined with the bullet.
During this process, Chu Sheng's spiritual power was slightly enhanced as he learned about the compositional essence of these extraordinary materials and absorbed their extraordinary characteristics.
However, whether it's peas or hot peppers, although they are extraordinary, their levels are too low, so their growth is not significant, less than one in ten thousand.
After merging the two, Chu Sheng looked at the emerald green tree branch, reached out and grabbed it, instantly refining it and leaving only its pure essence.
Its essence is formless and shapeless; under Chu Sheng's control, it merged into him without any hindrance.
After all this was done, the floating automatic rifle slowly fell into his hand.
"It turns out I've been just blindly following the instructions all along."
"No! That's not right! I didn't even recite from the script!"
"I have absolutely no idea why it's possible to create sacrificial offerings!"
Chu Sheng recalled the scene from just now, and his heart was filled with emotion.
At that moment, he understood why using sequences could improve sequences.
At the same time, information about the automatic rifle also entered his mind.
