Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 229 [The Creative Brain Has Evolved]

The moment Shi Ming came into contact with the blood of the Great Black Dragon, he felt the power within that heavy blood being rapidly absorbed and then violently transmitted throughout his entire body, including his right arm, eyes, and head.

This startled him.
It was like being electrocuted, but it only lasted for a few moments before I received feedback from evolution.

The creative brain has evolved.

[The Infinite Brain has been activated.]

【…】

[Your creative mind has evolved into an infinite mind. The upper limit of the world will no longer exist within the domain of your mind.]

As always, the Infinite Brain inherited the abilities of the Creative Brain.

In addition, it possesses the ability of "Limit Break," allowing you to save one "Limit Break" opportunity per week. This opportunity can upgrade items that have already reached their maximum level by one level! However, the resources required to break through the limit far exceed those required to upgrade to the highest level; this is the price of Limit Break.

Even so, its return on investment is quite high!

Breaking boundaries? Excellent! Thriving!
Shi Ming touched his slightly feverish head.

The new ability of the Infinite Brain can only be obtained once a week. Although the opportunity is limited, the items that can be upgraded to the top level are all very useful. Upgrading to the next level will also have a remarkable effect and will inevitably bring even more outstanding abilities.

Moreover, the new abilities of the Infinite Brain can be stored.

Even if you don't need it this week, you can save it for next week. If you can't find the materials to break through the limits for the time being, accumulating the attempts is still worthwhile.

Shi Ming decided to try out this ability.

He took out a map of the endless sea.

Previously, the Creator Brain could not explore such top-tier artifacts unless it was damaged, but the cost was too high.

Now, this previously completely undetectable, top-level artifact has finally revealed information thanks to the new abilities of the Infinite Brain. This can be considered an additional ability, allowing Shi Ming to explore detailed information about items that were previously inaccessible.

[Endless Sea Map]

【Level: 10】

Even though the world has crumbled and the continents have sunk beneath the deep sea, you still need a map to guide you forward.

[By injecting awakened power of the corresponding level, you can locate sea monsters of the corresponding level. The detection range is a cylindrical area with a radius of 2000 nautical miles and a depth of 5000 meters, centered on the map.]

[Upgrade Required: 1000 grams each of 3 different types of Saint-level Sea Beast blood.]

……

Shi Ming looked at the Star Lamp again.

【Lamp of the Stars】

【Level: 10】

[Things from beyond the heavens are not on the list of wonders of the Endless Sea, but theoretically, if they were included, they could probably rank among the top?]

[This star lamp is said to be made from a small piece of the core marrow of the star "Gekko A," capable of guiding the way at any time and helping lost souls find their way home. However, to keep its light burning continuously, it requires a considerable amount of precious fuel. It's quite picky about its food!]

[Upgrade Required: The entire flesh of an S-rank sea beast "Star Kun", or 1000 grams of Star Marrow.]

As expected, the materials required for breaking through limits are all of very high quality.

But its potential is enormous. If it truly has "no upper limit," could it be that even after upgrading to the highest-level King-class drifting ship, it could forcibly break through another level and transcend the King-class category?
Even if it were feasible, it would be too far off.

Shi Ming's two general-class ships are only at the third rank of general...

Shi Ming currently has quite a few items that have been upgraded to the highest level, but there aren't many items worth breaking through the limits of. The only ones are the King Slayer and a few rare items listed on the rare item list. As for the equipment and weapons on the ship, they are actually more than enough for now.

There's no need to waste a weekly opportunity on ordinary items.

The King Slayer can be upgraded and used as a regular weapon, but it cannot be shown in front of the Lighthouse forces. Moreover, it was corroded when it came into contact with the blood of the Great Black Dragon, and it has now been downgraded by one level. It needs to be upgraded to the highest level and repaired before it can break through its limits.

As for the rare items on the list, the materials required to break through them are extremely rare. Shi Ming can only keep them in mind for now, so as not to miss them if he encounters them.

The most promising upgrade now is actually the "Endless Sea Map." Two of the three types of Saint-level sea beast blood have been collected, which is 66% complete. However, the remaining 33% is still a long way off.

By the way, if my Ragnarok and the Third Law merge into the "Fallen Sanctuary," would my blood be considered Sanctuary-level blood?
If it works, wouldn't we have all of them?

Without practical experience, it cannot be confirmed.

knocking.

"Enter."

"Captain, when Huang Qiang was hunting sea monsters nearby, he pulled up an Awakened who had almost died and was unconscious. He was wearing crew clothes from the Renhuang and was clutching a strange object in his hand."

"Ok?"

……

Shi Ming looked at the Awakened One who had been rescued but was still unconscious on the deck.

He was wearing crew uniforms from the Renhuang, his face showing traces of camouflage from being washed away by seawater, and he was clutching a square box tightly in his hand. The crew also found a well-disguised communicator on him, which was empty and seemed to require a specific method to open.

Shi Ming looked at the box.

The Infinite Brain is activated.

Information Copier

Level 5

[Made by Yu the Great, this intelligence copier automatically copies all information on the device simply by plugging it into the interface. It already contains copies of the Black Society and Renhuang's 30 years of research on the Daikokuten Dragon. In fact, while these research findings seem impressive, they are far inferior to the intelligence provided by the Nameless Cocoon.]

[Upgrade Required: 1 Expansion Storage Chip]

He looked at the communicator again.

It was also the core technology of Yu the Great.

It seems this was an imposter from the Great Yu, traveling to Renhuang to carry out a special mission. The mission was likely to copy some of their data, but something went wrong during the process; he jumped into the sea and nearly drowned, but was luckily pulled out by Huang Qiang and his team.

"Captain, should we wake him up and force him to reveal some information about Emperor Ren?"

“Wake him up. He is the one who awakens from the dead. Tell me when he is awake, and I will come and talk to him.”

"Yes, Captain."

Shi Ming lacked the ability to rescue people, but the life-saving and emergency equipment attached to the general-class drifting ship was fully capable of handling these emergencies.

After returning from Mount Fujin, the Grand Canal did not move and remained stationary in its original sea area.

Although the twelve stars' request was completed, Shi Ming was prepared to wait another day.

After Virus died, her body was directly stuffed into the warehouse and never taken out. Under these circumstances, the Skynet chip could not communicate with the outside world in real time to transmit the news of her death from the absolutely hidden warehouse. Therefore, Virus is currently at most in a state of "out of contact".

The Michael has departed from the Columbia Sea on time, acting as a lighthouse scout, and is expected to reach the waters off Mount Pukyong within a day to rendezvous with Emperor Nioh and the Black Society.

Shi Ming planned to teach them a lesson before the King-class drifting ship, the Lighthouse, arrived.

The relentless pursuit from the Great Western Sea was still vivid in his mind. If it weren't for the skills Xuanwu Shield and Desperate Measures, he might have fallen into Edward's hands, who possessed the "Naked Eye Wheel" and could unleash several weakened versions of S-class skills.

This time is no different.

If it weren't for the Starlight Lamp and the blood of the newly acquired Great Black Dragon, escaping from the virus that had cast "Eternal Sanctuary" would have required considerable effort and skill.

Michael, the Black Society.

Having received your 2000 Pure Crystals bounty, how can I not give you a mission settlement?
