Ling Cage: Many Children, Many Blessings - I Became the Head of Dawn

The dose and enhancement effect of absorbed radiation increase with the increase of basic attributes, but cannot be actively upgraded.

Qin Song's eyes lit up. Wasn't this ability a bit like Superman or Godzilla?

Not bad, not bad. Looks like I should get more sun in the future, or maybe find an abandoned nuclear power plant.

Qin Song went straight back to the lighthouse and found Jessica.

"How's the Tiger Shark 3D model coming along?"

“I was just about to look for you. The modification is complete. It can be used as long as enough energy modules are provided.” Jessica led Qin Song to the warehouse.

"However, given the consumption of these large machines, the lighthouse probably doesn't have enough energy to support it."

Qin Song waved his hand, "I'll figure out a way to solve the energy problem."

He modified 10 Tiger Shark heavy-duty storage systems, then recruited 10 special forces members to take them directly down from the lighthouse.

We've given them so many benefits; it's time to repay them.

"As believers of the Holy Light, it is time to show your loyalty!" Qin Song looked around.

The special forces soldiers stood tall and proud, declaring, "We fight for the Holy Light!"

Qin Song bestowed the blessing of returning to the origin upon each member of the special forces team, saying, "Your mission is to find the lair of the Devouring Beasts. Ah Han, you will show them the specific procedures. Go."

Qin Song didn't stay idle; instead, he flew to a spaceship wreckage that a lighthouse had once marked and emptied it of all its energy.

They then joined the special forces team in searching for the herd of beasts.

Qin Song sat on the valley floor, watching Ah Han fight endlessly below.

Nodding slightly, after a few days of training, Ah Han's combat power had made a qualitative leap, and his physical fitness was also constantly improving.

[Ding! Target Ran Bing has successfully bred twins this time, double the reward: 20 Source Crystals and 1 Perfect-grade Talent. Using this talent guarantees a Perfect-grade Talent.]

Qin Song pinched his chin. The reward for twins can be doubled? Not bad, not bad.

He held the skill stone in his hand, and a surge of energy entered his mind.

[You have mastered flow control, quality perfect. Activation allows you to enter a flow state.]

Qin Song was immediately taken aback.

Although the description of this flow control is brief, it is one of Mark's strongest abilities in the later stages of the game, allowing him to dodge Bai Yuekui's series of deadly attacks.

With a thought, Qin Song instantly appeared in a bizarre and fantastical space.

A 360-degree screen appeared in front of him, allowing him to clearly see the scene behind him without turning his head.

The scene on the screen was the real world in which his body resided.

Just then, two roulette wheels appeared directly in front of him, with skill icons embedded on them, just like in a game.

One of the roulette wheels represents missionary skills, and the other represents enlightenment skills.

Qin Song extended his finger and gently pressed it on the icon representing energy manipulation. The next second, his body returned to the original world, and a ball of spiritual energy flew out from his hand.

With a loud bang, the Devouring Beast that was fighting against Ah Han exploded instantly, and Ah Han was also blown away by the shockwave.

Qin Song frowned slightly. What was the difference between this flow control and normal skill casting?

During battle, the enemy won't wait for him to choose a skill.

After thinking for a moment, he entered a state of flow again.

This time he deliberately stayed longer and soon noticed something was wrong.

The dust stirred up by the breeze froze in mid-air, as if time had stood still—no, not still, but slowed down countless times.

Chapter 90 Skill Stacking

I see! Flow control allows the mind to enter a space where time flows extremely slowly.

Qin Song pressed the Holy Light Judgment button, waited a moment, and then pressed the Energy Control button again.

About five seconds later, he was forcibly ejected, and then Holy Light Judgment and Spirit Bullet flew out of his hands at the same time.

After some further testing, he discovered that he could select five skills at the same time, and all five skills would be released simultaneously when he exited the state.

Qin Song nodded in satisfaction. No wonder it was of perfect quality.

After several more rounds of experiments, he discovered that the flow state consumes 50 points of mental energy each time and can last for a maximum of 5 seconds.

I glanced at the system panel and saw that I had 200 points of mental energy left.

What happens if you choose five of the same skills at the same time?

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Song activated overclocking mode and entered flow control.

In an instant, 10 Holy Light Judgments flew out simultaneously, and my mental strength dropped to 100 points.

Qin Song was not surprised but rather pleased.

The 100% increase in skill power from overclocking can actually be stacked onto the number of times Flow Control is used, and the power of the released skill is also increased by 100%.

This is definitely a monster-slaying artifact! I'll never have to worry about not being able to break through the defenses of high-level Devouring Beasts again.

The only problem is that I don't have enough mental energy.

Currently, the maximum value for all attributes is 500 points. The only way to increase it quickly is by raising your Awakening Level.

Qin Song suddenly remembered the nucleocells that had just been activated and immediately flew into the sky.

They stopped at 5,000 meters, 10,000 meters, and finally at 20,000 meters.

It's not that we can't go any further, but according to Jarvis, the atmospheric pressure at over 19,000 meters has dropped to the limit of the human body, and the boiling point of blood becomes the same as body temperature.

Once the body is exposed, the blood will immediately boil, and the resulting bubbles will block blood vessels and damage tissue.

Qin Song did not strip completely naked at the beginning. Instead, he controlled the nanobot to expose half of his palm. This way, even if there was a problem, most of his body would still be protected by the mecha.

In just a moment, the skin on my palms turned bright red, and a thin layer of ice froze on the surface of my skin.

The temperature here is only -50℃.

However, perhaps due to his strong physique, Qin Song found that his palm had not suffered any substantial damage, but had only reached a critical point.

He controlled the nanobots to slowly reveal the entire arm.

After confirming that there were no injuries, he exposed all four limbs, then the torso, leaving only the helmet to ensure oxygen supply, and the thrusters on his back and hands and feet.

Soon, a naked figure stood 20,000 meters in the air, facing the setting sun, the cicadas' chirping growing cooler...

Qin Song thought to himself, "No one in history has ever sunbathed at 20,000 meters."

Qin Song couldn't take it anymore after just over two hours at high altitude. It wasn't that his body couldn't handle it, but he was incredibly bored and couldn't do anything at that height.

I glanced at the system panel and all my attributes increased by 1 point, which means I can increase them by 10 points a day.

Just then, a system notification popped up.

[Nuclear cell: Energy storage 100% complete, currently strengthening body. Countdown to completion of strengthening: 24 hours.]

Qin Song immediately had the mecha re-encase his body and return to the ground.

It's quite troublesome to be exposed to the sun for more than two hours every day.

"Jarvis, where is the nearest nuclear energy extraction site?"

That's right, he plans to directly absorb nuclear radiation, and if the dosage is controlled in the initial stage, there shouldn't be any problems.

“A nuclear fusion fuel collection site is a 10-minute walk away.”

Just as Qin Song was about to set off, he suddenly realized that nuclear fission technology in this world had become obsolete.

The raw materials for nuclear fusion contain almost no radiation, and tritium, which has weak radioactivity, is only a byproduct of the reactor with a half-life of 12.3 years. So much time has passed since the end of the world that the amount of radiation is negligible.

Are there any nuclear fission waste storage sites?

"There is one within a 30-minute drive and three within an hour, but all of them are buried more than 500 meters underground. Over the decades, the mainland has undergone geological changes, and the actual depth may be even greater."

Qin Song suddenly slapped his forehead. "Doesn't the Lighthouse have a large nuclear fusion reactor? That thing is always running, so there must be a lot of fresh waste."

He immediately flew back to the lighthouse and found Jessica.

How is Lighthouse's nuclear waste disposed of?

Although Jessica was somewhat surprised, she still said, "They are stored in the suspended area on the north side, but due to limited space, they are usually thrown directly to the ground after cooling down."

"Any recent nuclear waste reports?"

"Yes, you brought back a lot of fuel a while ago, and the engineering department cleaned the reactor structural components before refueling..."

Qin Song immediately went to the storage area and used his privileges to open the door.

Jarvis immediately warned, "Sir, radiation levels have been detected to be above the safe limit. We recommend avoiding direct exposure to your body."

Qin Song ignored it; the Mark85 nano armor could fly in space, so it was naturally resistant to radiation.

All the waste was collected into the system space and flew to the ground cave.

At this point, the energy stored in the nucleocell has reached 96%.

Qin Song set his alarm and went straight to sleep.

The alarm clock rang the next morning, and the energy storage had reached 66%, with all attributes increasing by 3 points.

Qin Song took out a small amount of nuclear waste.

In just one minute, the cell's energy storage increased to 100%.

Qin Song felt a burning sensation all over his body and immediately stored the nuclear waste into his system space.

Nodding in satisfaction, he knew that as long as he maintained the energy storage state, he could continuously enhance his attributes.

"Calling the boss, we've spotted three small packs of beasts. Coordinates sent," Ah Han reported.

Qin Song immediately flew towards the target point.

A car sped along the road, pursued by dozens of snake-dogs.

Xia Dou scrambled to the back of the car in a flash. "Why do those ugly monsters keep breaking into the blocked area lately?"

Sui Xing looked worried. "The boss suspects that Mana Ecosystem might be testing or patching vulnerabilities."

Despite the Dragon Bone Village's best efforts to prevent the absorption of their companions' life essence, unexpected incidents still occurred.

After acquiring the life essence, Mana will evolve into individuals that are more adept at fighting against humans.

For example, a Posseus evolves into a human arm and mimics a human's cry for help, using the human's weakness of wanting to rescue them to lure them in.

"Can't we just kill them?" Xia Dou pouted.

Shattered Star shook his head. "Killing them within the shielded zone will cause the Mana spores to spread, and may also attract other Devouring Beasts."

"If Mana Ecosystem discovers the truth about the shielding, it will definitely modify the Devouring Beast's biomagnetic field to target us."

To put it bluntly, the shielding tower in Dragonbone Village is not omnipotent; its frequency needs to be constantly adjusted according to the state of the Devouring Beasts.

"By the way, I heard that Sister Tasia has returned to the village. Is she alright?"

"It's nothing, but she seems a little strange."

"Huh? Lorna isn't out again, is she?" Xia Dou's face immediately filled with fear when she thought of Lorna's violent personality.

Lorna would always challenge her to games whenever she appeared, and if she couldn't win, she would resort to live-action CS, sometimes even smashing her game console.

You see, the game console is her lifeline. Every time the village shops release a new product, she'll buy it even if she has to go without food or drink.

Shattered Star chuckled, "It's strange, actually. When the Fifth Squad found her, Lorna's personality had just emerged, but I don't know what happened, but in the end, Lorna chose to go into a deep sleep. Now, Tasia is in control of the body."

Chapter 91 The Wonderful Use of Mind Control

"That's good!" Xia Dou patted her chest; at least the game console was saved.

Sui Xing glanced at the positioning device and tapped the carriage with his hand. "Alright, we've led them to the target location. Ready to disengage."

"Roger that!" In the driver's cab, Shandong gave an OK sign.

Xia Dou glanced at the relentlessly pursuing snake-dog, and seemed to have thought of something fun. A sly glint appeared in her eyes. "Sister Suixing, help me control a snake-dog."

Sui Xing was taken aback. "What?"

"I just learned something really fun, please help me!" Xia Dou hugged Sui Xing's arm and shook it.
