I'm A Wasteland Giant

Chapter 54: Continuous Upgrade!

Translator: 549690339

The sun was three poles up.

Du Gang had slept for a full six hours before he woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he found himself in the back of a pickup truck, next to Ma Li.

He glanced forward and saw that there was nobody in the driver’s seat. Chu Zixuan wasn’t here.

He looked around and saw that the truck was parked on an intact road, and in the distance, he could see a large field of ruins.

Looking at the dilapidated twelve-story building in the distance, Du Gang realized that they were still in Xingyuan County!

He put his hand in front of Ma Li’s unconscious nose and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he was still breathing.

After thinking for a while, he took a deep breath and shouted loudly, “Chu

Zixuan!”

The voice echoed like a sudden thunderclap in this desolate land. It was very effective, not long after he shouted, a figure came from the direction of the ruins. It was Chu Zixuan.

He was carrying a backpack, and had another heavy-looking one in his hand, not stopping until he reached Du Gang’s side.

“Awake?”

“Where did you go?”

Chu Zixuan raised his hand, which was holding the backpack, and smiled, “I went to collect crystals. Two bags full!”

Du Gang took it and found it wasn’t light, by estimation it contained at least a few hundred to a thousand crystals.

He was puzzled, “Didn’t you eat any?”

Chu Zixuan chuckled, “I did, from the time you fell asleep, I kept collecting these things, eating and collecting, and still gathered this much!”

Seeing that Du Gang still looked confused, he laughed and said, “Do you think I wanted to keep some for you?! For each one I ate, it took me at least forty to fifty seconds to absorb it. During the time you were asleep, I probably ate several hundred, and still have this many left!”

Du Gang picked up a handful and asked dubiously, “Are they all red?”

Chu Zixuan shrugged, dispiritedly replying, “For those golden beetles, my Mental Power can’t penetrate their defenses. I can’t extract the crystals from their bodies!”

In the ruins were several dead golden beetles. Even though they were dead, Du Gang hadn’t taken out their crystals. He tried once but unfortunately, he couldn’t even cut through their flesh.

Du Gang looked at him skeptically, somewhat in disbelief, “With all those crystals you ate, didn’t you level up?”

Given what he knew of Chu Zixuan, this guy had probably snuck a lot of crystals in the past.

“I did level up!”

Chu Zixuan nodded, “I do feel like my superpower has been upgraded several times, but it’s just my Mental Power that has increased, my range of detection has broadened, my combat strength… ugh!”

He seemed helpless, his Mental Power still only allowed him to control other objects and lacked a direct assault ability.

Using controlled knives to attack was weak, especially when he attempted to chop the golden beetles. It felt like he was using a nail clipper to cut beef, he couldn’t even break the skin.

“Several times! How many times?

Chu Zixuan considered before answering, “A total of five times I think. From when I woke up until now, my superpower has strengthened five times!”

Du Gang nodded, then tried to feed a red crystal to Ma Li, but found that it was stuck in his mouth, there was no sign of digestion or absorption.

“I tried earlier, it’s no use. These things can only be absorbed when conscious!”

Noticing the situation, Chu Zixuan reminded him.

“Fine then!”

Du Gang removed the crystal stuck in Ma Li’s mouth and said, ‘Wait here for a bit, I’ll go get the crystals from those golden beetles…”

Soon after, he walked back.

Chu Zixuan was surprised, “That quick?!!”

Du Gang’s mouth twitched, “Without going all out, I can’t penetrate their defenses!”

It was true, without using his Fatal Strike, he couldn’t extract the crystals.

“What now?”

Chu Zixuan looked worried.

The crystals inside the golden beetles were of an orange color, clearly superior to the red crystals.

Leaving such a resource behind was such a waste!

“Don’t rush, let’s see if I can do it after I level up!”

“Okay!”

Chu Zixuan handed over a bag full of red crystals.

“So many, awesome!”

Du Gang took it and, without hesitating, absorbed and converted them all at once through the Ancient God System.

Chu Zixuan, with his Mental Power, had discovered as early as yesterday that Du Gang could directly absorb crystals without swallowing them. He was just surprised that he could absorb so many at once. [Ding, would you like to convert 1633 red crystals?]

Convert!

[Ding, congratulations, you have gained 3544 Source Energy points!]

Du Gang was delighted, he still had five systems to activate. With this boost, he could upgrade all of them at once and still have over two thousand Source Energy points left. When he has ten thousand Source Energy points, he would be able to advance to the Second Rank!

Without any hesitation, he directly spent five hundred Source Energy points to activate the remaining five systems.

[Ding, the Respiratory System has been activated, upgrading lungs…]

[Lung upgrade successful, your lungs can now house fish… You can now absorb oxygen from not just the air, but also through water and soil!]

Holy shit!

Du Gang was so excited he nearly passed out. This meant he could survive not just on land, but also in water like a fish, and even if buried, could absorb nutrients from the soil like plants!

[Ding, Digestive System has been activated, upgrading stomach…]

[Stomach upgrade successful, your stomach is now a furnace, steel in your stomach can instantly become molten… You can become stronger by devouring flesh and blood!]

Become stronger by eating?

Not bad, continue!

[Ding, Endocrine System has been activated, upgrading cells…]

[Cell upgrade successful, your cells can now store a large amount of energy. This energy will not be discharged on a daily basis, but when you are on the verge of death, it can give you a new life!] Store energy, a new life?

Does that mean, I can resurrect after death?

Du Gang just thought about it briefly and disregarded it, he didn’t dare to test whether he could actually resurrect. If he couldn’t, then it would be game over.

[Ding, Urinary System has been activated, upgrading kidneys…]

[Kidney upgrade successful, any poisonous substances entering your body will be absorbed by your robust and vigorous kidneys and converted into urine…]

An immune physique towards all poisons!

Equally impressive!

[Ding, Reproductive System has been activated, upgrading ??? ]

upgrade error…]

[Ancient God System correcting…]

upgrade successful, your tadpoles have reached the Ancient God level, mortals are not worthy of your offspring. To conceive an Ancient God offspring, you need to find another female Ancient God…]

Du Gang was dumbfounded after reading this explanation!

Does this mean I’m infertile now?

No, it means I can’t have children with ordinary Earth humans. If I meet a female giant, maybe I can…

Where the hell am I going to find a female giant?!!

[There are female giants in the land of the Ancient Gods!]

The sudden system tip startled Du Gang.

The land of the Ancient Gods?

Seeing that, he breathed a sigh of relief, regardless of whether or not he wants to have kids in the future… at least now he knew where to find female giants..
