Global Game: I Have Portable Store

Su Changxing pulled out three small streams of data from the Galaxy of data streams to work for him, naming them Xiaosan, Xiaosi, and Xiaowu respectively.

He is now manufacturing pendants at a fast speed, able to promptly convert Points and Mysterious Items into Guide Pendants.

The previous purging of Doomsday Cultists in He Kou Town also resulted in plundering up to millions of Points from them, combined with Points transferred by Lin Xiuyu, totaling over ten million.

And utilizing these Points at night to summon the Doomsday Shop and purchase Mysterious Items.

...

A large number of people gradually become Extraordinary, continuously increasing Su Changxing’s Mysteriousness, from initially one person contributing two to three hundred to later only four or fifty per person.

His Mysteriousness has now reached one hundred thousand, surpassing eighty thousand, meaning he already meets the standard for advancement.

Based on the numbers reported by each team, their number of Extraordinary individuals has reached five hundred.

Moreover, at this rate, the number of Extraordinary individuals will further skyrocket in the future.

”If this continues, will my Mysteriousness keep increasing?”

Su Changxing looked at the path log on his phone and thought about some strange questions.

Although the Mysteriousness provided by each person becoming Extraordinary decreases later, it still exists.

Mysteriousness is not the same as experience points in the game; it can continue to increase even after being full, just that only after reaching eighty thousand does Su Changxing have the condition to advance.

However, his way of obtaining Mysteriousness is difficult for ordinary people to replicate.

Mysteriousness is also considered a standard to measure the strength of an Extraordinary.

If a Tier Nine Extraordinary possesses over one hundred thousand Mysteriousness, their strength might be around Tier Eight or Tier Seven.

But such a hypothesis is nonexistent; a Tier Nine Extraordinary cannot have that much Mysteriousness.

Because the lower the Tier, the harder it is to acquire Mysteriousness.

Then.

Su Changxing again spent half a day converting Mysterious Items in the Pocket Galaxy into Guide Pendants, making over eight hundred pendants, for Xu Wenfeng to distribute.

...

At noon.

Xu Wenfeng brought three pendants to a dilapidated restaurant on the outskirts of the gathering place.

The walls hung with patterns of dishes, and the tabletop covered in dust. Three people, with their faces covered and wrapped tightly, sat here waiting.

These are the players who want to purchase the pendants.

”Are you the Lucky Child?”

One of them asked upon seeing Xu Wenfeng.

Xu Wenfeng didn’t use the Security Bureau’s banner, just said: ”We are his subordinates, here for the transaction. I suspect many know your whereabouts, we should quickly finish the transaction and leave.”

”Of course, upfront, don’t have any improper thoughts, you see, we have over ten people here, all Extraordinary.”

The players who came to trade were stunned, the display frightened them, any other thoughts disappeared.

Another masked player, with a sharp voice, laughed: ”Lucky big boss, sharing such items, we should be discerning, but is it really useful?”

Xu Wenfeng glared at him, impatiently said: ”Could I deceive you? Our leader is a man of his word, do you think we became Extraordinary for no reason?”

”Buy it if you want, if not, leave, don’t jabber so much, many want to buy these.”

He handed the pendants to the three, saying: ”Things are yours, you can take a look first.”

The players looked at the pendants in their hands, identical to the forum’s descriptions.

”Truly Guide Pendants,” a few exclaimed with delight, which the masks couldn’t hide.

”Since the items are genuine, our Points will not be short, all prepared.”

Xu Wenfeng watched the Points transferred to his phone, smiling, and waved: ”Then all is well, we’ll go first, remember, this item should not be taken off.”

With that, he turned and left, followed by over ten people, leaving the restaurant empty again.

The scare completely fooled the players; if the item were fake, they’d have nowhere to argue.

Su Changxing seemed to have conscience; the items were real, just a bit expensive.

Paper can’t cover fire, the news of the Guide Pendant is getting louder, and soon some suspected the pendants were from the Security Bureau.

...

In a room in Hedong County, a few people gathered, eating, drinking, and discussing.

A young man with a thin face, a cunning expression, Huang Dao chewing meat, said:

”My brother-in-law is in the Security Bureau, I heard many in Team Seventeen have these pendants.”

Someone nearby exclaimed upon hearing this: ”Doesn’t that mean there are many Extraordinary in Team Seventeen?”

Huang Dao chuckled, muttering: ”Certainly, don’t look outside here with few Extraordinary; in Team Seventeen, catch anyone and they’re likely Extraordinary.”

Extraordinary beings are something everyone, whether old or young, male or female, longs for. When this topic was brought up, everyone’s interest suddenly peaked.

One person had a sudden idea and asked, ”The price of the pendant has been speculated to thirty thousand now. Buying it is impossible, but isn’t joining the Security Bureau a great chance to become an extraordinary being?”

Huang Dao took a sip of wine, pointed at him, and said, ”You’re very smart, but you’re not the only smart one. Now, the recruitment conditions for Team Seventeen are extremely strict; ordinary people can’t get in at all.”

”Unless...”

He suddenly paused, keeping everyone in suspense.

”Come on, unless what, why don’t you say it, Young Master Huang Dao?” someone next to him urged.

Huang Dao laughed and said, ”That’s of course about connections. A pendant outside costs at least twenty thousand, but it’s easy to get one in the Security Bureau. The quota is incredibly precious.”

”Even my brother-in-law went to great lengths to get me a quota. Tomorrow I’m preparing to go to Team Seventeen, haha, everyone congratulate me.”

Everyone knew Huang Dao’s temperament; although he was quite nice to friends, he wasn’t very capable and was timid. He was just a student before doomsday.

”You?” One person showed a disdainful expression.

Huang Dao didn’t mind at all, patted his chest, and said, ”What’s wrong with me? Now the point is that even a dog, as long as it joins Team Seventeen, can become extraordinary.”

”Before, I heard someone say that the pendant seems to have been released by Team Seventeen, which makes one wonder how many pendants they have.”

”Who is your brother-in-law?” another person asked.

Although Huang Dao had a few drinks, he wasn’t muddled. He hesitated before saying, ”I can’t tell you this; it’s confidential.”

...

The situation in Hedong County was not bad, with a large gathering of people. Since some monsters from the black mist could be consumed, food wasn’t lacking.

And some strange plants bore fruits that could also be eaten.

Experts in the field of food were researching these plants, hoping for large-scale cultivation. Famine was a foreseeable threat, and they needed to prevent it from happening.

Wang Liang carried a bag of seeds to the planting base, wearing an ancient bronze pendant on his neck. He had already become an extraordinary being.

His ability was to break through the growth cycle of plants, enabling rapid growth, so he was assigned to do this task.

[Planter: Tier Nine, Middle Rank, capable of controlling rapid plant growth and able to modify and control them.]

Originally, he didn’t want to do this job, but Su Changxing asked him to come, so he did, saying it was the only way for him to advance quickly.

The details weren’t clear to him, though he thought it made some sense. Anyway, Su Changxing wouldn’t harm him. However, discussing food issues with this group of old men made his head spin.

An old man with a gray coat and white hair saw him coming, hurried over, and took his hand, saying:

”Wang Xiaoyou, tell me how you became an extraordinary being who can control plants.”

This old man was a technical expert in the food planting department, Qin Changyong, involved in researching various hybrid crops, with abundant experience and knowledge.

Wang Liang pointed to his neck and said, ”Having a necklace is enough, but to become a planter, it really depends on luck.”

The old man frowned, ”Luck? That’s not very reliable. I’ve spent most of my life dealing with plants, and your ability to control plants makes me envious.”

Wang Liang replied helplessly, ”Director Qin, to survive in these times is already a fortune. Becoming extraordinary is a dream for many, and yet you are being picky.”

The old man shook his head, seriously saying, ”I’m not a soldier, nor do I fight. What’s the use of becoming extraordinary? I’d rather give the chance to others.”

”However, if I could become an extraordinary being like you, that would be great ... If potatoes could possess the qualities of these new plants, growing rapidly without light, no one would starve.”

”Wang Xiaoyou, you must understand that what we’re doing is very important. People can’t go hungry. If they do, chaos will ensue, and if chaos ensues, this newly established city might fall.”

Wang Liang took a deep breath, nodded, and said, ”Understood, I’ll try my best, but I just became extraordinary, and this kind of ability needs adaptation.”

”Actually, what you mentioned, I tried it last night. I found those potatoes indeed have integrated the new plant genes to grow, but the leaves turned purple.”

”I don’t know if they’re edible or if there are any side effects.”

The old man looked pleasantly surprised, ”Really?”

”Would I lie to you?” Wang Liang chuckled. Although he was impulsive, he was serious when it came to work.

This wasn’t his field of specialty, but he could use his ability to observe the essence of these plants and intuitively gain some insights, learning quickly.

The old man slapped his thigh, saying, ”This is fantastic news. Whether or not they can be eaten, at least they have grown. The first step to success is often the hardest, and you’ve crossed it.”

”I think you’re meant for this.”

”Generally, to change a plant’s genes requires foreign genes to be inserted, but you can directly modify them without insertion.”

”This is absolutely groundbreaking technology. In the past, you would’ve won the Nobel Prize in Biology for sure.”

Wang Liang raised an eyebrow saying, ”But this isn’t technology; it’s an extraordinary ability.”

”The concept of technology is broad,” the old man said, his face flushed with excitement, ”If it really succeeds, then it is technology.”

”Furthermore, by directly changing plant genes, we might even achieve some unexpected effects.”

Wang Liang paused, unable to keep up with the old man’s thinking, ”What effects?”

The old man pulled Wang Liang forward excitedly, saying, ”Stimulants are extracted and synthesized from drugs. We could see if we can cultivate plants that enhance human strength.”

”Or some more aggressive plants to deal with the monsters outside. Since those monsters are so powerful, plants should be capable too.”

Wang Liang was silent for a moment, feeling a bit uneasy, and said, ”If we really create something like that, can we control it?”

The old man patted his chest confidently, ”Everything has its rules, plants are the same. Once you master these rules, you can control them.”
