Apocalypse Arrives: I Become a Powerhouse by Scavenging

After the Guardian Magic Cube completely protected Cloudsea Planet, Moira first checked on its condition.

"Patience, I remember you can interface with items, right?" Moira suddenly asked.

[Yes, Master, but doing so requires your authorization. Besides, because the Guardian Magic Cube’s level is too high, even if I interface with it, I can’t run it automatically like other items. You’ll still need to operate it manually.]

After hearing Patience, Moira was silent for a moment before saying, "Go ahead and connect with the Guardian Magic Cube now."

[Command accepted. Establishing connection with the Guardian Magic Cube...]

A few minutes later, Patience’s excited voice rang in Moira’s ears.

[I did it!]

The blue screen in front of Moira vanished, replaced by a glowing display that only she could see.

The screen displayed the fully protected Cloudsea Planet, surrounded by all sorts of complex analytical data.

Moira then discovered that, in addition to protection, the Guardian Magic Cube could also monitor the protected planet’s data in real time. This included more than a dozen data points, such as weather, temperature, mineral veins, natural disaster occurrences, and any surface-level anomalies.

Although a planetary surveyor would provide far more detailed information, the data from the Guardian Magic Cube was more straightforward and could be understood at a glance.

’It even shows the number of fish schools.’

Moira then checked the energy reserves. Just as the information Patience had found suggested, the Black Hole Core contained an immense amount of energy, enough to power the Guardian Magic Cube for a very long time.

The data from Patience indicated the Black Hole Core could likely power the Guardian Magic Cube for a thousand years, and that was a conservative estimate.

This point alone was enough to show just how terrifying the amount of energy contained within the Guardian Magic Cube was.

After briefly familiarizing herself with the Guardian Magic Cube’s abilities, Moira selected another object to protect, setting it to Veridian Prime.

At that moment, outside Veridian Prime, a blue protective barrier was silently enveloping the entire planet.

The people on the planet were still hard at work building cities and had no time to create things like rockets, so naturally, they didn’t notice what was happening outside Veridian Prime.

’It’s better this way. Saves me the trouble of having to find an excuse to explain it.’

After doing this, Moira checked the Guardian Magic Cube’s analytical data again and discovered that several fish populations had grown quite large.

’I’ve made up my mind,’ she thought. ’For the next few days, I’ll switch the fish in the shop to these varieties.’

After leaving Cloudsea Planet, Moira quickly returned to her room.

She threw herself onto her soft, large bed and lay awake all night.

In the original plan, she and Hugh Finch would still be on their way to their mission.

According to their original plan, the two of them were supposed to hurry back just a few days before the game began.

However, plans change. Finishing the mission early had left them with a lot of extra time.

It was worth noting that the emergence of the Verasi Potion had once again caused a massive stir online.

People had been skeptical about the effects of the Verasi Potion, but after someone posted online that they had awakened a second talent after taking it, everyone lost their composure.

The person who posted the video wasn’t a player. He had awakened his talent by taking an Awakening Potion, and his talent was Nightmare—an ability that dragged people into an illusion to face their greatest fears.

The second talent he awakened was Dream Entering, an ability that allowed him to freely traverse anyone’s dreams, influence their direction, or even unearth a person’s deepest secrets through them.

Because of this incident, the Verasi Potion, just like the Awakening Potion, became incredibly difficult to acquire.

No, that wasn’t right. It should be said that the Verasi Potion was even more precious than the Awakening Potion.

The base also sent word, expressing a desire to increase their order—price was no object—but Moira refused.

Aside from the principle of "scarcity creates value," she still wanted to focus on the Awakening Potions.

She had a gut feeling that more people awakening their talents would absolutely be a good thing for the future of Caelus.

However, the Verasi Potion’s ability to awaken a second talent was likely a low-probability event. At least, she hadn’t seen any related research in the data she had on the Verasi Potion. It was possible no such data existed, or that someone had deliberately erased it.

’Then again, the person online didn’t look very old, so that could be one reason. Also, the Nightmare talent doesn’t really have any shortcomings that need deliberate compensation.’

Besides, production of the Verasi Potion had long since ceased throughout the galaxy. If people knew she could produce it in large quantities, they would probably be eager to tear her to pieces for it.

Although her identity was very well hidden, Moira wasn’t confident she could keep it a secret from everyone.

One day, Moira sat atop the roof of the Elf Tree House.

Thanks to Black Wolf’s tireless efforts, the small island had undergone a massive transformation.

And Black Wolf himself had finally succeeded in shedding his excess weight, regaining his former nimble physique.

However, while his physique had been restored, his eyes remained remarkably clear, without a trace of their former piercing sharpness.

But Moira didn’t dwell on it. All that mattered was knowing Black Wolf’s combat strength was still immense.

At this moment, Black Wolf and Kai York were fighting on the newly built training grounds.

They were trading blows back and forth, locked in a fierce and inseparable battle.

Even with the boost from his dual talents, Kai York could only fight Black Wolf to a draw, with neither side gaining any advantage.

After watching for a while, Moira decided to go out for a walk. Come to think of it, she hadn’t gone out at all since officially moving here.

Of course, she had already seen everything happening on Veridian Prime through her Golden Celestial Eye.

After telling Shane Rhodes and the others, Moira jumped onto the Nether Cat Owl’s back and departed.

About fifteen minutes later, Moira arrived at the shore.

After jumping down from the Ghost Cat Owl’s back, Moira stroked its soft feathers and said, "I’m going to look around. You can wait here for me to come back."

The Ghost Cat Owl spread its wings, flapped them twice, and then gave a cry in agreement.

Leaving the Ghost Cat Owl, Moira headed in the direction of the city.

Some ten minutes later, the path beneath her feet became a smooth asphalt road. The surrounding buildings were predominantly white, and the environment was clean and tidy.

She didn’t know who had designed the city, but it seemed to have drawn inspiration from the architectural style of Planet Tarmir. It exuded a futuristic aesthetic from every corner, creating a dazzling and refreshing impression.

What Moira didn’t know was that she, too, had played a part in it.
