Chapter 164 Ten Thousand Energy Points Arrive, Storage Space Gets a Major Upgrade!
"Young Lu! You're spitting blood?!"
Zhou Hai's raspy voice boomed in the control room, making the glasses on the control panel vibrate.
Ignoring the bandages wrapped around his body like a mummy, he stumbled forward, his fleshy face filled with terror, as if the sky were about to fall.
Although Su Li didn't speak, her cold eyes were filled with anxiety as she stared intently at the bloodstains at the corner of Lu Sheng's mouth.
Even Qin Yue and Zhang Yi, who were still connected on the screen, looked deathly pale, and you could feel the suffocating tension even through the screen.
Lu Sheng is now not only their comrade-in-arms, but also the only pillar of stability for this exiled fleet.
If this needle breaks, even if these 100,000 people escape Twin Peaks, they will eventually become a buffet for the monsters in the sea.
"What's the panic?"
Lu Sheng casually wiped the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth, his movements as casual as if he were wiping a grain of rice from his mouth.
Although his face was somewhat pale, his golden eyes remained as steady as a rock, and he even glanced at Zhou Hai with a hint of disdain.
"I was slightly injured before, just a little bruising. It feels much better after vomiting it out." Lu Sheng waved his hand, his tone indifferent.
In fact, he knew in his heart that Tian Zhen's attack was definitely not that simple.
But he can't panic.
Chen Yan is currently in a coma.
He is the alpha wolf; if the alpha wolf shows weakness, the pack will scatter.
"Really...really nothing's wrong?" Zhou Hai looked at Lu Sheng suspiciously, trying to find a flaw in that poker face.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll throw you down to feed the fish," Lu Sheng said coldly.
Zhou Hai shrank his neck and chuckled, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
Only after confirming that the fleet had sailed at full speed more than 100 kilometers away from the Twin Peaks area and the surrounding sea had returned to its deathly calm did Lu Sheng's tense nerves relax slightly.
"Take good care of Lao Zhao and General Chen, I'm going to rest for a while."
After saying this, Lu Sheng turned and walked into the depths of the cabin.
Back in his cramped but absolutely safe single cabin, Lu Sheng locked the door, and the calmness on his face vanished instantly, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and his consciousness instantly sank into the spiritual world.
In the depths of that once chaotic and tranquil sea of consciousness, something extremely glaring has now appeared—a blood-red skull mark.
It was only the size of a fingernail, yet it exuded a nauseating stench and a venomous aura, like a blood-sucking tick clinging to Lu Sheng's brain, rising and falling slightly with Lu Sheng's mental fluctuations, as if it were alive.
"Blood curse..."
Lu Sheng snorted coldly in his heart.
The Drowning Clan has indeed evolved something extraordinary. This method has gone beyond the scope of ordinary physical attacks and involves the spiritual and causal levels.
"Get out of here!"
Lu Sheng mobilized his immense spiritual power, transforming it into a golden torrent that surged fiercely towards the blood-red skull.
"Buzz—!"
The sea of consciousness was violently shaken.
However, the blood-red skull seemed to be mocking him. No matter how much mental energy washed over it, it remained unmoved and even faintly absorbed a trace of Lu Sheng's mental energy, becoming even more vibrant and lustrous.
"Can't be erased?" Lu Sheng frowned, slowly opened his eyes, and a shadow of gloom flashed in his golden vertical pupils.
It's like someone has installed a GPS tracker that can't be removed, and it's the kind that comes with a time bomb.
He stood up, stretched his limbs, and tried to circulate the spiritual energy within his body.
"call--"
The golden spiritual energy surged through my meridians like the Yangtze River, without any obstruction.
His bodily functions were all normal, and his strength, speed, and perception were not affected in any way.
"It seems this thing is currently just a location marker, or... a curse that requires specific conditions to be triggered."
Lu Sheng sat back on the bed, rhythmically tapping his knees with his fingers.
Since we can't solve it for now, let's leave it for the time being.
Can a living person die from holding in their pee?
Once I'm strong enough, I'll grind your skull into powder!
Once he had adjusted his mindset, Lu Sheng immediately shifted his attention to something that made him happy—taking stock of his spoils.
Although this battle was extremely dangerous, the rewards were absolutely unprecedented.
With a thought, the system panel unfolded before his eyes.

[Talent: God-tier Sequence - Dragon God (Note: Sequence rating does not represent direct combat strength; strength depends entirely on the individual's level of development!)]
[Energy Points]: 13000
Storage space: Corpse... (500 cubic meters)
【灵源空间】：强骨灵果，悟道树（4%）...（10平方，时间（1/3天）升级1000能量点）
[Furnace of All Things]: None
Looking at the long string of zeros in the energy points, Lu Sheng finally felt a little comforted.
"Finally, I'm rich for once." Lu Sheng's lips curled up slightly.
Before, I had to be very careful with money even for a few hundred points, but now that I have 13,000 yuan in my hands, I feel much more confident.
His gaze first fell on the [Storage Space] section.
The 500 cubic meter space has now been completely filled by his looting spree during the Twin Peaks.
Apart from the necessary ammunition and food, all that was left were corpses.
Yes, a corpse.
In his eyes, these were not disgusting rotten flesh; they were walking spiritual cores, stepping stones to becoming a powerful being.
"The space is still too small," Lu Sheng sighed.
As the hunting level increases, the monsters also become larger.
Just like those level 5 heavily armored floating corpses, each one is like a small giant. Plus, we'll be scavenging all sorts of resources later, so 500 cubic meters is simply not enough.
"System, upgrade storage space!"
Lu Sheng waved his hand, his heroic spirit soaring to the clouds.
[Ding! Storage space successfully upgraded after consuming 10000 energy points!]
[Current volume: 1000 cubic meters!]
[Energy required for the next upgrade: 20000 points.]
"Buzz—!"
Lu Sheng felt the previously crowded dimensional space in his mind suddenly expand infinitely in all directions.
What does 1000 cubic meters mean?
If it is a standard 100-square-meter house with a ceiling height of 3 meters, the volume is 300 cubic meters.
The current storage space is equivalent to having three large apartments combined and stuffed into my brain!
Or to put it more simply, the cargo box of a heavy semi-trailer is only about 50 cubic meters. Lu Sheng now leads a small fleet of 20 heavy trucks!
The once mountain of corpses and supplies now only occupied half of the space, leaving the other half somewhat empty.
"Awesome!" Lu Sheng couldn't help but exclaim.
This means that in the future, he will be able to empty large supermarkets, armories, and even small shipyards, skin and bones!
Seeing his balance shrink to 3000 points in an instant, Lu Sheng felt a pang of regret, but thought it was worth it.
The remaining money should still be spent where necessary.
His gaze shifted downwards and landed on the [Spiritual Source Space].
The pitiful sapling of the Enlightenment Tree stood alone on a 10-square-meter patch of black soil, its few leaves drooping listlessly.
Next to him were several newly transplanted Bone Strengthening Fruit trees and Snake Saliva Fruit trees, crowded together like a subway during rush hour.
"Farming is the only way forward." Lu Sheng deeply understands the importance of sustainable development.
"System, upgrade the Spirit Source Space!"
[Ding! 1000 energy points consumed, Spirit Source Space successfully upgraded!]
[Current Space: 20 square meters of black soil!]
[Time Flow Ratio: 1:4 (One day outside, four days inside)!]
[Energy required for the next upgrade: 3500 points.]
The space is a bit more spacious, and most importantly, time flows faster!
One day outside, four days inside.
This means that the growth cycle of spiritual plants will be greatly shortened.
As long as we can hold out, we'll eventually turn this place into a backyard garden that produces rare and precious materials!
"I have 2000 points left, and there's not much to upgrade for now."
Lu Sheng turned off the panel, his eyes becoming fervent.
Next, is the main event.
He wants to turn that mountain of corpses in the space into real strength!
"Forge of All Things, open!"
