I am the strongest human being!
Chapter 354 I am the strongest human being!
"What is this?" Xingzi looked down at the sequence ability user that Chu Sheng had thrown in front of her.
"This is... for me?"
She pointed to herself, looked up at Chu Sheng with a slightly confused look in her eyes, as if she couldn't believe it.
Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng nodded. "Here you go. Although I don't know what his sequence is, having an extra sequence will give you more ways to protect yourself."
"Even if this person's sequence is not combat-oriented, you can still have an extra sequence to nourish yourself and accelerate the progress of your own sequence."
"You have no fighting ability, and I can't always be by your side to protect you."
"In case anything unexpected happens later, you will be able to protect yourself."
Chu Sheng spoke calmly, explaining that he had indeed considered this when giving the person to Xingzi.
Even he couldn't be truly heartless; Kyoko was genuinely devoted to him.
It's almost as if they're helping him without expecting anything in return.
It's much stronger than a certain White Tiger sequence ability user.
"Brother Chu Sheng." Hearing Chu Sheng's words, Xingzi's eyes reddened, and she looked at him with a touched expression.
Anxi handed Yamamoto Daiki, which she was carrying, to Ah Xin, and then saw the scene between Xingzi and Chusheng. She gritted her teeth, clenched her hands, and two words popped into her mind.
"Scumbag! Green tea bitch!"
An Xi was somewhat displeased, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only let out a cold snort and turn her head away.
After Chu Sheng and the others had settled the sequence ability users, Hui sighed and said, "Although plundering sequences can increase one's combat power and the growth rate of the sequence, sometimes I really don't know whether plundering sequences is a good thing or a bad thing."
Hearing his words, Chu Sheng glanced at him, then looked at Xingzi and said, "Xingzi, you can just plunder his sequence here."
"I'll stay here and watch."
"Okay!" Kyoko nodded obediently, then sat down cross-legged and began to plunder the sequence ability user in front of her.
After discussing the loot sequence a few days ago, I explained the method of sequence looting to everyone.
Apricot naturally knew.
As for why Qingqing didn't know before and needed Chusheng to explain, that's simply because children are forgetful.
Seeing Xingzi start looting, Anxi said to Ah Xin beside her, "Ah Xin, you stay with Xingzi. I'll watch over things here. It'll be fine."
“Okay.” Ah Xin replied without hesitation.
They had signed a contract that forbade them from harming each other, and with An Xi present, she naturally had no objections.
After all, for her, there was nowhere safer than being with An Xi.
Seeing that Xingzi and Ah Xin had both started plundering the sequence, Chu Sheng looked at Team Leader Hui again, "What do you mean?"
“By plundering a sequence, you gain control of it, and that sequence becomes a subordinate sequence.”
"It can be given to others, or you can use it freely yourself."
"But even if you control this sequence, the cost of this sequence will not be waived."
After saying this, Hui glanced at Chu Sheng and continued, "You should know about this matter."
Chu Sheng nodded upon hearing this.
He certainly knew that.
The sequences he plundered all came at a price, but these prices were not high, so they were not apparent.
Chu Sheng touched his heart, then asked in return, "So, besides assimilating the previous sequence, you're also afraid of the cost of absorbing this sequence?"
"Hmm." Captain Hui didn't refute it and directly admitted it.
"The cost of a sequence is random; no one knows what the cost of a sequence will be, so every sequence is like a gamble."
"You won this bet, but what about next time? And if you win next time, what about the time after that?"
"No one can be lucky all the time. Once a plundering sequence goes badly, our arms, legs, five senses, tongue and even mind will be affected."
At this point, Hui sighed, "The consequences of this kind of gamble are too serious."
One wrong step, and the whole game is lost!
Chu Sheng nodded in agreement; what Hui said did make a lot of sense, but he didn't agree with it.
"You haven't advanced to Sequence Six yet, so you don't really understand how Sequence Six grows."
"So that's why you have this thought now."
"But all I can say is that if there are no other options, then a plunder sequence is the inevitable outcome."
As Chu Sheng spoke, he looked at him, then his gaze swept over An Xi, Fang Hong, and Qing Qing before continuing, "Before advancing to Sequence Six, everyone's Sequence Level will be growing. Even if you do nothing, your Sequence Level will steadily grow until you advance to Sequence Six."
"And when you advance to Sequence Six, you will find that the sequence that was originally growing has stopped growing."
"You have to rely on yourself to advance in the sequence."
"But at this moment, you suddenly discover that the source of the sequence you have plundered can nourish your own sequence, allowing your sequence to begin to grow again."
"At this point, would you plunder the sequence?"
Upon hearing Chu Sheng's words, Hui was taken aback. He truly hadn't expected that after advancing to Sequence Six, the Sequence would stop growing.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his face turned a little pale. "In that case, I've thought of something."
"Since the sequence stops growing when we advance to sequence six, what's the strange thing about it?"
"Will those monsters stop growing? Or will they grow endlessly?"
When he thought of this, his heart, which had been somewhat at ease because of the existence of the floating island, suddenly became anxious again.
Fang Hong, who was standing to the side, also looked rather unwell. "Perhaps I can ask fate."
Clearly, she had also thought of those strange things.
Qingqing, standing next to her, tilted her head, somewhat puzzled as to why Fang Hong's emotions were suddenly fluctuating so drastically.
However, she wisely kept quiet and stayed beside Fang Hong, curiously looking at Chu Sheng and then at Captain Hui.
Chu Sheng did not answer Fang Hong's question, but looked at the group and continued, "I've actually always had a question."
"Their strength is not equal to ours."
"Not equal?" Hui frowned and looked at him.
"What's wrong with that?"
“Since the apocalypse, the supernatural has been hunting us down. No matter when, the supernatural always has a sequence level that matches ours.” “That’s not what I meant.” Chu Sheng shook his head. “What I meant by unequal is that the supernatural is too easy to deal with.”
"According to what Old Wang said in the Mechanical City, the supernatural was contained at the very beginning of the apocalypse."
"And the unrestrained weirdness would cause even greater casualties to humanity today, making it even more tragic than it is now."
"Although Elder Wang didn't say it, judging from his attitude, even in the future, those strange phenomena will still be very strong, even terrifyingly strong."
"And you should also know the methods of that future human supreme being. He took action from the future and imprisoned most of the strange beings at the very beginning of the apocalypse for a year."
He paused, looked at Hui and the others, and said with a serious expression, "I've been thinking about something."
"Old Wang and the others said that all of this was the result of the interaction between the future sequence and the overdraft sequence."
"But I've been wondering, are those two sequences really that powerful?"
"We are all conceptual sequences. Even if our sequences are not as good as theirs, can they really combine their sequences at the very beginning of the apocalypse, when they have just awakened, to communicate with the future and make that future supreme being take action?"
"This is outrageous."
"As for those who have just awakened their Sequence 9 abilities, you all know the limitations without me having to explain them."
"Using abilities is just the most basic way."
"Even if his ability could truly allow him to communicate with the future, it would be absolutely impossible to achieve this under the circumstances of Sequence Nine."
"So what you mean is?" Hui looked at him thoughtfully.
He was only at Sequence Seven, and that was because he had previously plundered the sequence of that alien race to advance. In terms of understanding sequences, he was not as good as Chu Sheng.
There's nothing wrong with admitting that.
Even if his sequence is more suitable for calculation, it is still inferior. After all, Chu Sheng is a sequence six, and his understanding of sequences is definitely superior to his. He cannot possibly calculate things that he cannot bear, as the cost would be too high.
"What I mean is, at the very beginning of the apocalypse, that future sequence ability user may have indeed opened a small portal to the future, but he definitely couldn't maintain it for very long, not even for a moment."
"But the strongest human being in the future sensed this small opening and took the initiative to help him widen the passage to the future."
"Then through this opening, the strongest human being imprisoned those strange beings at the very beginning of the apocalypse, and also left behind some sacrificial offerings to help humanity."
"But the price is that the user with the future sequence ability gets lost in the future, and the user with the overdrawn sequence ability dies directly."
"What you said might indeed be more true and more likely than what Old Wang said, but what does it have to do with the sequence growth and strangeness you mentioned?"
Chu Sheng glanced at him, showing no surprise whatsoever. He had long known that Hui was not actually very smart; he only appeared unfathomable because his sequence allowed him to know more.
"Based on my idea, do you think that human supreme being would help that future-sequence ability user widen that opening?"
Why did he leave behind so many sacrificial offerings to help humanity?
Hearing his words, An Xi thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "Maybe he wants more people to live?"
Chu Sheng glanced at her, his disdain almost overflowing.
He hadn't actually thought about this question at first, but after encountering the Xuanwu Fire Seed Base and learning that the Xuanwu was actually a sacrificial object, and one that he had created, he began to ponder the issue.
He began to think about this problem.
Since it was a sacrificial offering he made, and he has never made such an offering before, but the Xuanwu Fire Seed Base really exists, then there is only one possibility left for that Xuanwu sacrificial offering.
Based on the information provided by Elder Wang of the Mechanical City, this Xuanwu sacrificial object is one of the sacrificial objects that the authorities obtained from the future.
Chu Sheng knew himself well; if he created sacrificial offerings related to these mythical beings, he would never release them.
After advancing to Sequence Six, he can freely create offerings and turn the possibilities within those offerings into reality.
If others ask him to make sacrificial offerings, and he can make them into the shape of Xuanwu, he will never make them into the shape of Xuanwu.
He has always had a clear understanding of himself.
They also know their own personality and how they behave.
Since it is impossible to give such a sacrifice away, then this sacrifice belongs to him.
After reaching this conclusion, Chu Sheng asked himself again whether he would give away the sacrificial item if people from the past contacted him.
The answer is no, but it's not impossible.
Compared to never giving it to anyone else, he wasn't as wary of handing the offerings over to people from the past.
But he really wouldn't give away his offerings, and pleading wouldn't help.
Because he couldn't be sure whether changing the past would cause his future self to disappear, Chu Sheng felt that the only decision he could make was not to communicate.
But if that future supreme being is truly himself, then under what circumstances would he hand over the sacrificial offering to someone from the past?
Chu Sheng had thought of it, but he wished he hadn't.
Only when the future situation is so dire that he is likely to die at any moment, and he feels that the probability of death is extremely high, will he give away his belongings when he encounters people from the past, hoping to rewrite the current situation.
But he would not give away sacrifices that were useful to him.
Therefore, Xuanwu has no other function besides serving as a vehicle, which is why it looks rather intimidating.
That explains everything.
Because the future is so bleak, the authorities are able to communicate with their future selves and get their help.
At the same time, because of his future self's intervention, most of the supernatural beings were imprisoned, rewriting the rules that started at the beginning of the apocalypse. If he were to intervene again, he would definitely manipulate the restrictions on supernatural beings and the enhancement of human sequence ability users.
Therefore, the current eeriness is not actually very strong.
Chu Sheng's logic had formed a closed loop, but he didn't tell Hui and the others.
There's one last thing he needs to verify.
If the Weird continues to grow even after reaching Sequence Six, then his prediction is correct.
Because after Sequence Six, humans can only grow slowly by constantly using their own abilities, apart from plundering sequences.
The growth rate has decreased by more than a hundredfold.
After plundering a sequence, that sequence will also impose a cost on the ability user's sequence, which is equivalent to gambling. Therefore, even if you can plunder sequences to accelerate your growth, you can't plunder many sequences.
If the bizarre can grow without limit, then the situation will be very bad.
If growth cannot be unlimited, then his prediction has a flaw.
That's why he, Hui, and Fang Hong were talking about this.
