Not a single blade of grass grew on the black land.
Amidst the dilapidated buildings that had been completely ruined, one could find traces of human existence upon closer inspection!
This area was adjacent to the Snake Monkeys' settlement, which explained why the Snake Monkeys knew the vital points of human beings.
Obviously, the human settlement on this island had been destroyed by the Snake Monkeys.
However, they didn't expect revenge to come so quickly, and their settlement was eventually destroyed by the human forces that they couldn't resist at all.
"Yes, do you feel it?"
"I feel uncomfortable all over after entering this settlement, as if an invisible force is constantly corroding my body."
Qin Yueyu, whose short hair had grown into a black ponytail, looked slightly confused.
"It's radiation. There's a very strong 'radiation' in all the matter in this area!"
On the high-tech glasses Guo Wei was wearing, the red "radiation warning" message kept popping up.
"That can't be. Has the Snake Monkey grasped the nuclear bomb?"
Mister Bug was quite shocked.
"How is that possible? If they had nuclear bombs, we wouldn't have been able to take them down so easily. "
Qin Yueyu rolled her eyes at him.
"Then what's the reason?"
Mister Bug scratched his head.
"It's because of the background of this settlement!"
An Quan suddenly said, looking and sounding quite excited.
"If my guess is correct, the background of this settlement should be Land of Radiation, a survival game with the theme of doomsday wastelands …"
Then, he quickly climbed to the top of the ruins of the tallest building around and looked around.
"There's indeed something up ahead. Come with me!"
When he saw something, An Quan suddenly jumped down from the building and used his Qinggong on the barren ground. As he ran, he spoke.
Very soon, the core players of the Twin Dragon Island arrived at the location of the destroyed settlement core, next to a small hot spring with white steam rising from its surface.
[Radiation Hot Spring]
[Level: Special]
[Rarity: Superior (Rare)]
[Description: A hot spring that contains a lot of radiation power. It comes from a human settlement that has been destroyed.] After soaking in the hot spring for a long time, one's body will mutate to a certain extent, and there is a chance that one will obtain extraordinary abilities!]
"The resources of the human settlement haven't been destroyed by the Snake Monkeys?"
After seeing the attributes of the hot spring, all the players except An Quan were slightly surprised.
"The 'radiation' of this water is much higher than on the ground!"
Ji Ye pulled his finger out of the hot spring. The white light of "Healing" flashed and healed the slight mutations on the surface of his finger after the radiation.
"This' Radiation Hot Spring 'is the starting point of the game. The setting is that players can obtain' Superpowers' by soaking in the hot spring!"
An Quan looked at the steaming hot spring, his voice filled with excitement.
"Ability? What types are there? "
Mister Bug's eyes lit up when he heard that.
"Yes, in the beginning, it can only provide some of the more basic Esper Abilities. For example, Iron Skin, Flight with Wings, Transformation, Invisibility, Limb Rebirth, and so on … But if you upgrade or spend money later, there's a chance to obtain rare Esper Abilities like Kinetic Bomb, Visual Obstruction, Atomic Disintegration, Bullet Speed, Gravity Manipulation, and so on. "
Everyone's expressions changed when they heard An Quan's words.
It was fine if it was just an ordinary ability.
More importantly, the superpowers at the end had obviously entered the Transcendent level and belonged to the category of superpowers!
"Gaining Esper Abilities by soaking in the hot spring? That doesn't make sense … In the wasteland after the nuclear bomb, even clean water is a precious resource that's as valuable as money … "
Guo Wei shook his head and complained about the setting of the Radiation Hot Spring.
"Well, I just graduated, and my thinking wasn't mature enough. The setting wasn't perfect!"
An Quan said, a little embarrassed.
"The things in many game strongholds are indeed unreasonable. For example, robots can be sucked of their blood, blind people can be blinded, and fire men can be burned to death … Wait, did you design this game?"
Mister Bug nodded in agreement.
However, he immediately realized something and looked at An Quan with his mouth wide open.
"It's a very famous product of our company in the overseas market. Strictly speaking, I only participated in a very small part of the production process. It just so happened that I was the one who proposed the 'hot spring' gameplay.
"When I went offline earlier, I heard from my original company that a settlement with the background of this game had appeared in the Land of Inheritance … I didn't expect to run into it. Unfortunately, it's been destroyed …"
Looking at the ruins on the ground, An Quan's face was full of regret as he sighed.
It was indeed a pity. After all, there were millions of settlements in the Land of Inheritance.
However, the number of products that human beings had created since ancient times was incalculable. An ordinary game probably only had one settlement in the Land of Inheritance.
If he missed it, he might never see the relevant people or things again.
"The first settlement I ran into in A Hundred Vying Barges is actually related to the core players in the settlement? Is it a coincidence, or is it a hidden rule in this phase? "
Ji Ye, on the other hand, was deep in thought.
"I'm afraid the latter is more likely."
After all, when new players entered the Land of Inheritance, the settlement they landed in was related to their "acquaintances".
So, it wasn't impossible that the things they ran into in this phase were related to the people or backgrounds in their settlements!
"The Radiation Hot Spring can give people superpowers and let them advance to the Extraordinary level. This settlement in the wasteland is very valuable. It's as valuable as the Dragon Urine Wine and Fire Oil!"
Then, Ji Ye focused his attention on the Land of Radiation itself.
In terms of resources, this human settlement had even more resources than the settlements of the Metal Men and the Mirage Monsters.
It was because all the materials that contained the power of radiation were classified as Extraordinary by the Land of Inheritance.
Once the news got out, many new players would be willing to take the risk of radiation to soak in the hot spring.
After all, the rich relied on technology, and the poor relied on mutations. When resources were scarce, superpowers were more attractive than martial arts and magic. If they were lucky, they would be able to rise to the top after awakening superpowers.
But for Ji Ye, it wasn't that attractive.
Because superpowers were essentially no different from other Extraordinary powers.
For example, his Flood Dragon Bloodline could control water like his Water Superpower. It could even strengthen his body and intimidate Dragon Blood creatures!
But after all, bloodlines weren't that easy to obtain, but it was very easy to obtain superpowers by soaking in the hot spring.
The only problem was that the mutations caused by radiation, just like the Black Serpent Blood, weren't very controllable, and the superpowers they obtained after the mutations weren't necessarily the same!
More importantly, the mutation caused by this kind of radiation was quite risky, and the radiation would even continue to destroy the human body at the same time.
It was probably for that reason that the human settlement failed to win the competition even though it had radiation, which was a special Extraordinary resource. Instead, it was annihilated by the Snake Monkeys' settlement, which was also a technological one.
"However, it hasn't been long since this human settlement was destroyed, so there's still a high concentration of the power of radiation in the hot spring that hasn't been completely transformed into the power of providence by the Snake Monkeys.
"Now, all we need to do is fuse and digest the settlement cores of the Snake Monkeys and the lizards. Then, we'll be able to use the power of providence to catalyze the Land of Radiation again, further strengthening the radiation in this area, and we'll be able to raise more superpowers!"
Apart from that, the power of providence had another use.
A settlement of a race or civilization could modify the unclaimed area with its own power of providence and make it an environment that was suitable for their race to live in!
That was also very important.
Otherwise, creatures like the Mirage Monsters wouldn't gain much even if they won and occupied the Twin Dragon Island. However, it wouldn't be a problem if they could transform the entire Twin Dragon Island into an ocean with the power of providence of their settlement.
However, because the Snake Monkeys and the lizards were seriously short of the power of providence, they couldn't do that, but the Twin Dragon Island could.
