Price: 3000 trading points

P.S.: Do you really understand?

……

Only 3 trading points? Buy!

I originally wanted to use it on [Infinite One-Hit Kill], but I found out it's only LV5, so using [Advanced Skill Upgrade Card] is a bit too extravagant.

Of course, you can also wait until you reach LV6 before using it.

However, Abel was unwilling to wait; it wasn't like he wouldn't be able to buy it later.

So I used it directly on [Asura Aurora Slash] and upgraded it to LV8!

……

Ignoring the last useless item of blue quality, Abel began to consider whether or not to buy it.

The main issue is that 5,000 trading points are a bit expensive, and he doesn't think it's worth it.

Keeping a zombie tree is out of the question.

However, after thinking about it, he decided to contact Tom to see if he needed that kind of wood.

Tom was quite excited when he heard this and asked many questions about the material's properties, such as its hardness and toughness.

He also said he had never heard of such a magical tree before.

As for regeneration through blood-sucking, Tom didn't think it was a big deal at all.

It doesn't have to be human blood; the blood of so many animals can be used.

Moreover, if it truly possessed this characteristic, many complex tasks would become simpler, and it might even be possible to build a magical warship unlike any seen before.

Got it!

There's no way to avoid spending this money.

Abel had no choice but to buy it, hoping it would be a good deal.

Before heading to the South China Sea, I need to get the things to Tom as soon as possible.

Time ran out quickly.

With this in-and-out transaction, he still had 14640 trading points left.

Then he discovered that after the system was upgraded, the chances of getting good items increased, but the prices also became more and more expensive.

I want to save up some money, but it's really not easy.

Moreover, how much money and resources did he invest in building a good ship for himself?

If the final product doesn't satisfy him, he'll make sure Tom turns into Jerry.

Chapter 359 The Kingdom of Bliss

"Amazing, absolutely amazing!" Tom exclaimed, his eyes practically sparkling as he looked at the scene before him.

When Tom received the giant Ancient Zombie Tree, he couldn't resist immediately starting to experiment with its properties.

The most important aspect, of course, is its ability to regenerate memory after it has been shaped into a material.

The first few attempts failed.

If there's nothing wrong with the wood itself, then the problem lies with the wood itself.

What does it mean to have a "finalized" look?

Tom didn't give up. He started by crafting a complete chair for himself out of the wood and then carefully applied wood wax oil to it.

At that very moment, Tom immediately sensed that the chair in front of him seemed different.

The feeling was very mysterious, like the chair in front of me had a little bit of a life-like quality, but it was still an inanimate object, which was very contradictory.

Then, without hesitation, he picked up the axe beside him and chopped down.

There was a bang.

The axe bounced high into the air; the shaped zombie tree was incredibly hard, leaving not even a white mark.

Tom became even more excited upon seeing this, and after much effort, he finally managed to cut a hole in it.

Then he took out the cow's blood he had prepared beforehand and carefully poured it on the cow.

The next second, the chair in front of me seemed to come alive. The broken part began to wriggle and grow, and in the blink of an eye, it was restored to its original state!

And that's how the opening scene came about.

This magical wood truly captivated Tom's interest.

Who would have thought that the key to its shaping would be ordinary wood wax oil?

Then Tom did many more experiments.

It was finally confirmed that this zombie wood does indeed possess the ability to regenerate memories, but there are limits to it.

If a plant is repeatedly damaged over a certain period of time, its regenerative capacity will be severely reduced.

Furthermore, if the body is broken into several parts, the best option is to piece them together as much as possible and then pour blood onto them. This minimizes blood loss and allows for the fastest recovery.

The next step is to select the largest and best-preserved part, water it with blood, and let it grow into a complete item.

Because the underlying principle is unknown, only one of the same type of item can exist after it has been finalized.

Instead of saying I can cut it into three parts and then pour blood on each part to get three identical chairs.

Can't do it.

Once one part of the chair is restored to its original state, the remaining two fragments automatically crumble into dust, as if they were sentient, which is quite magical.

Actually, it makes sense when you think about it; it's like those characters with super-fast regeneration abilities.

Although it is said that even a single remaining cell can restore it to its original state, it cannot grow an infinite number of itself!

Otherwise, if you cut off a hand, a person would grow out of the severed hand.

A leg is cut off, and a person grows out of the cut-off leg.

From now on, you won't need to do anything else. Just divide yourself up and play every day, and then lead countless versions of yourself to conquer the world.

This is just too good to be true.

In addition to its memory regeneration properties, this zombie wood is also extremely hard after it has been shaped, as hard as steel!

It is also very tough, and most importantly, it is resistant to high temperatures and impervious to water and fire!

It's hard to imagine wood that isn't afraid of burning.

This zombie wood did just that.

After Tom verified the various properties of the zombie wood, he suddenly felt that the already 'perfect' design seemed to have room for improvement.

The moment this thought popped into his head, he felt an intense, cat-like discomfort in his heart.

Because in shipbuilding, he is the kind of person who strives for perfection and always wants to do his best.

Without such dedication, he would not have become the world's recognized greatest shipwright.

"This person is truly despicable; my life is so miserable!"

After sighing, Tom plucked at his sparse beard and took out the design drawings again to ponder deeply.

At this moment, Abel was of course unaware of the immense shock and distress that the zombie wood he had brought to Tom.

After delivering the items, he left in a hurry.

To become the highest-ranking member of the family, one must complete this mission quickly and skillfully to have a chance.

Because their competitors at the same time were Diamanti and Pica.

Serka, who went to the East Sea, is basically out of the game and not a threat.

Diamanti's attempt to wrest food from the five Mafia families won't be so easy.

Looking at it this way, his choice to go to the South China Sea was indeed a lucky accident.

A few days later, Abel led his team to successfully reach the South China Sea.

To be honest, the South China Sea is really weak at this stage; basically, there aren't many big names or influential figures in the sea.

None of them are as good as the emergence of supernovas like Eustace Kidd, Kira, and Jerry Bonnie more than a decade later.

what?

You're saying there'll be another Ace in the next few years?

Don't try to glorify yourself.
