Landing 500 Years Early, I Became a God by Digging for Treasures 37

Chapter 37: A New Milestone Set by “God”

Yunhai City, Supernatural Research Institute.

The first solution everyone thought of was the famous Morse code! Using short dot signals “.” and longer dash signals “—” to transmit information.

However, after sending the first instruction, the screen turned blue.

[The other party has disconnected. Do you want to re-initiate communication request?]

The conference room erupted in an uproar.

“He…he turned off the communication video?!”

“Reconnect!”

[Please wait…Initiating contact with the Midea Civilization…]

After a long time trying to reconnect, the screen remained dark. Their communication device was clearly not very reliable.

Professor Zhang Hui, the head of the institute, slapped his forehead hard, feeling he’d done more harm than good.

The original intention was to use vibrations and alarms to let Lu Yuan know: You’ve contacted humanity! You’re not fighting alone!

But on second thought, firstly, the other party most likely didn’t understand Morse code; sending it would be pointless. Secondly, the passage of time was different for both sides; one second in the safe zone was equivalent to one hundred seconds for Lu Yuan.

The vibration signal had a limited transmission frequency, approximately one or two seconds between each transmission.

Therefore, over a long period, only one vibration was sent to Lu Yuan. Was it any wonder he was confused and turned off the device?

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Professor Zhang Hui swallowed hard, taking a deep breath: “The good news is, the alarm vibration channel of their device is intact, able to receive our signals and trigger vibrations…”

“The bad news is, the alarm channel can transmit very little information, leading Lu Yuan to misunderstand.”

“Can we continue sending alarms?”

“No, the other party needs to re-initiate contact…This thing is like the window shake function in QQ; if the other party shuts down, it can’t shake.”

Zhang Hui quickly contacted several information experts from universities, asking them to figure out how to transmit more information through the alarm vibration channel.

“Professor Zhang, aren’t you asking for too much? The alarm can only emit a ‘beep beep’ sound; it’s a matter of physical construction…” The person answering the phone was Professor Shang Xingwen, a renowned information science expert. The bald professor was quite bewildered.

Zhang Hui said on the phone: “The requirement isn’t high, just let him know he successfully connected with humanity! And, tell him not to shut down!”

“A simpler signal than Morse code? That’s a bit difficult.”

“Alright, I’ll discuss this with my colleagues and see what we can come up with.”

Soon, several experts were sitting in the discussion room, earnestly debating.

The alarm inside the metal sphere, similar to a buzzer, could emit two waveforms: “square wave” and “triangle wave.”

These two simple waveforms were usually used to emit alarm sounds.

But if combined, could they produce more complex syllables? The experts experimented near the large sphere.

“We need to be faster! He might…be gone in a few hours.”

Just then, they heard the voice of “God” again.

[Item attribute system generation complete. Supernatural items will be divided into Inferior, Normal, Rare, Excellent, Legendary, Epic, Immortal, and Mythical—eight grades.]

[After acquiring relevant appraisal skills, you will be able to appraise the grade and effects of supernatural items.]

…

Pangu Continent.

Mountain winds brushed against the mist, sunlight radiated upon the earth, and the faint sound of a distant waterfall could be heard.

Lu Yuan sat on a large rock, diligently practicing.

The rolling of tumbleweeds, the chirping of insects, the howling of wild beasts, the friction between sand and gravel—these sounds were like ripples in water, vaguely entering Lu Yuan’s ears.

This was a simple method for cultivating Transcendent Fire Seeds.

Suddenly, he heard the voice of “God”: [Item attribute system generation complete. Supernatural items will be divided into Inferior, Normal, Fine, Excellent, Legendary, Epic, Immortal, and Mythical—eight grades.]

The tranquil primeval forest showed little reaction, and the few wolves nearby remained undisturbed.

“God” had launched the equipment system, but for the native animals of Pangu Continent, nothing changed; they continued their lives freely.

“Could only intelligent life hear this voice?”

“God’s update frequency seems to be decreasing. Perhaps the true completion of Pangu Continent is not far off.”

For Lu Yuan, “God” had only “updated” once in over three months with the equipment system. But for life within the safe zone, “God” updated almost daily.

Lu Yuan possessed three supernatural items.

After appraising them, more information appeared.

[The back pattern of a juvenile Hell Spider can cause mental shock to the enemy. (Excellent Grade·Natural Wonder)]

[Fiery Red Crystal Stone… (Fine Grade·Natural Wonder)]

[Fire Lizard Leather… (Normal Grade·Natural Wonder)]

As for the fuel concretion scraped from the fire lizard’s glands, it wasn’t considered a supernatural item; it didn’t even reach the lowest Inferior grade.

“It seems the standards are quite high.”

“What a pity. If this Hell Spider grew up, this back pattern might reach Legendary grade or even higher…”

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yuan felt that “artificially creating a supernatural item” was very likely a new milestone set by “God.”

He was instantly filled with motivation!

The conditions for achieving this milestone weren’t difficult; sewing, forging, carpentry, and carving might all work.

It might even be snatched up by other civilizations because it’s too simple!

Perhaps, a civilization hiding in the safe zone was currently forging a supernatural item?!

Or maybe they were almost finished forging one!

After all, ten years ago, Earth had already entered the supernatural era, and superpowers had emerged since then. There were also some mutated plants and animals on Earth, though their numbers were very few. But given Earth’s size, the emergence of several treasures was only natural.

If Earth was like this, other civilizations might be the same.

Lu Yuan’s advantages were only his 100x time dilation, the few supernatural items he had on hand, and his information advantage—he clearly knew that completing the milestone would have good rewards, while other civilizations might not.

Feeling a sense of urgency, he thought: “The lizard leather has been soaking for several days; let’s start tanning it.”

He walked over and turned the switch of the large iron ball back on. The indicator light flickered, and the electronic watch lit up.

Fortunately, there was no vibration or warning this time.

Actually, Lu Yuan had suspected that the previous vibration and alarm represented a special signal.

But he shook his head, thinking he was being delusional, mistaking a straw floating on water for a life raft? That humans could actually send messages?

“Even if I’m delusional, what does it matter? There’s no one else here. I’ll just treat it as a social relaxation method?”

“Awooo!” The wolf pack howled in accompaniment.

“Hurry, contact human civilization!”

Lu Yuan shouted desperately in front of the screen: “Humanity, whether you can see this or not, I’ll only demonstrate once, the legendary milestone!”
