Chapter 25: Human Electric Generator

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although the notification mentioned that Wei Huo had to be tested in the Thunder Pond, he did not see any Thunder Pond.

‘F*ck your sister, you should have at least created the main props!’

Wei Huo took a few steps forward and accidentally triggered the system’s notification. “You have already entered the Thunder Pond.”

Wei Huo was confused. “???”

‘When did I even step into the Thunder Pond? Why do I feel nothing?’

A three minutes countdown timer then appeared on Wei Huo’s head. However, he had not felt anything. It seemed like that was another BUG.

The game setting was very rigid. For example, one would trigger an incident after arriving at a specific place and after a specific time. Just like what is happening right now in the Dragon Palace, Wei Huo arrived at the Thunder Pond and he would have obtained the scroll after three minutes.

Although the Thunder Pond did not exist now, it would definitely be set up at this location in the future. By listening to the name, it was no doubt that one who entered the pond will be electrocuted. However, the game was not fully developed yet. So…

Wei Huo sat crossed-leg and waited for the countdown to end. However, he did not receive anything even after the countdown ended.

Does that mean the Thunder Variation Scroll was still under development?

Another system notification appeared after that. “Persist for another 10 minutes to obtain the True Thunder Variation Scroll. Spend 100 Magical Stones to purchase a one-off shield if the Player could not persist. The one-off shield’s effect only lasts for a minute.”

Wei Huo was left speechless. “…”

This God used to work in the Penguin logo company, right?

Wei Huo suddenly imagined how Ma Huateng1 would have felt after entering this checkpoint. Would he have felt a sense of familiarity?

Wei Huo continued sitting cross-legged in the Thunder Pond. After 10 minutes, the system notification appeared again. “Persist for another 30 minutes and you will be rewarded the Improvised True Thunder Variation Scroll.”

Wei Huo was left speechless. “…”

‘Let’s see what kind of scroll you will give me in the end.’

After 30 minutes, the system notification popped up again. “Persist for another hour and you will be rewarded the God of Thunder scroll.”

Wei Huo was dumbstruck. God of Thunder sounded very impressive. The name was a bit too exaggerated for a Qi Cultivation scroll.

Wei Huo did not move and the one-hour countdown began. He reckoned it was impossible for someone to stay in the Thunder Pond for such a long time except for the God of Thunder.

Wei Huo waited patiently for an hour. Suddenly, a flash hit the rugged roof and struck Wei Huo. The next moment, a new skill was added into Wei Huo’s Attribute Menu.

‘God of Thunder, Level Zero. The highest level is level 20.’

Wei Huo lifted his hand to try out the skill. Suddenly, an electric current spurt out from his fingertip. Right then, Wei Huo felt that the Qi energy in his body reduced slightly. At the same time, his skill proficiency in God of Thunder increased by one percent.

Wei Huo instantly understood that he had the ability to control the thunder and gained proficiency by consuming his Qi. Hence, the ability to control thunder was also considered a Qi Cultivation scroll.

Indeed, God was being very considerate.

Wei Huo decided to leave after he got the scroll. After all, the mentioned gold, crystal, and treasures did not exist at all. The whole Dragon Palace was empty and it looked like a semi-finished house. However, Wei Huo still felt relieved that basic props like the scroll and test still existed.

He left the Dragon Palace and entered the seawater. He suddenly realized that he had not needed to breathe!

Wei Huo was in shock and it was then that he finally noticed there were bubbles all over the surface of his skin. It dawned on him seconds later,

Electrolysis of water!

Electricity could break down water molecules and split it into hydrogen and oxygen. Oxygen was just what the human body needed.

Wei Huo felt that the Qi in his body was gradually reducing while the skill proficiency of God of Thunder was increasing. At the same time, he felt that he only had to exhale carbon dioxide and need not inhale oxygen. That was because the cells on his skin’s surface had begun electrolyzing water, and the oxygen obtained will be provided directly to the cells in his body.

Wei Huo left the tremendous cave. The cave door shut itself the moment he left. The gem was still embedded in the center of the door but it would not open for Wei Huo anymore.

Wei Huo untied the rope on the rock and swam upwards. Raindrops started falling from the sky as Wei Huo popped out of the water. A gush of cool wind blew towards Wei Huo and suddenly, his hair stood up.

Wei Huo touched his hair with his hand and he heard a crackling noise from the static electricity.

Wei Huo was left speechless. “…”

‘Is this a natural punk hairstyle?’

Wei Huo knew that it happened because of his improficiency in controlling the electricity. Situations like that would not have happened if he was proficient enough.

Wei Huo went back to his ship and saw that the panda was chewing on a string of iron wire instead of sleeping. It seemed that pandas had a nickname called the Iron Eater1…

A brilliant idea suddenly struck Wei Huo’s mind as he saw the wire coil.

‘Electric Motor Manufacturing!’

Wei Huo had the skill to control electricity now, and he needed the practice to increase his proficiency. Moreover, the destroyed sails had slowed down his ship’s speed.

The problems would be easily solved if he manufactured an electric motor.

Wei Huo ran to the hold of the ship. He found some iron coils, magnets, and wire cords which were still in good condition.

He studied those tools attentively, trying to understand the operating principles of each tool and figuring out how to manufacture an electric motor. He was brainstorming the manufacturing methods available and had finally made up his mind…

Wei Huo then opened the ‘Electric Motor’ blueprint in the system and installed it on the ship. He put the materials inside and the next thing he knew, the electric motor had been automatically manufactured.

‘Isn’t that fascinating?’

‘Well, it’s a game. You don’t have to be too particular with the details.’

The next step would be the power supply. There was a lot of power supply equipment in the blueprint. That equipment was prepared for the players. Otherwise, things would go wrong if most of the devices were destroyed and the players did not know how to build and repair them after time had recovered.

God would not make such a blunder.

Every player was provided basic manufacturing blueprints. More advanced equipment like the nuclear reactor, spaceship engine, and anti-gravity system cannot be manufactured at that moment. Players would have to collect the blueprints for equipment that required advanced technologies. Collecting these blueprints would probably be a mystifying journey too, for example, the need to scan the equipment using scanners in order to register the blueprints?

The power supply equipment blueprints included Solar Panel, Wind Power Generator, Tidal Energy, Geothermal Energy, Thermal Power, Hydroelectric Power, and so on. On the other hand, the power storage equipment blueprints included a Battery, Lithium Battery, and so on. Unfortunately, Wei Huo did not have the materials, so he could manufacture that equipment.

However, Wei Huo could now solve the fundamental problem of inoperative electrical appliances with the God of Thunder Skill.

Wei Huo became a new electric generator. He could generate electricity as long as he eats and trains his Qi energy.

‘Let me show you the Legendary Human Electric Generator.’

Wei Huo grabbed the tip of the electric motor’s wire and began to generate electricity. Unfortunately, nothing happened to the electric motor as the electricity generated by Wei Huo was still too weak. It was not enough to start the electric motor.
