Chapter 458: Awakened Ones Legion

A million-strong legion!?

What does that mean?

One piece of news after another.

Huang Haitao's mind raced, but he didn't quite grasp Lin An's meaning.

Legion...

Using the members of Long'an Base as a trial.

Hearing Lin An's revelation, he realized Lin An intends to produce a million Awakened Ones!?

But how is that possible?

Although he counts as high-level at the base, he's actually not a core member.

Huang Haitao's position has always been awkward.

He lacks standout ability, his connections fall short of those around Lin An, and even his own background is somewhat problematic.

Who let his uncle be a principal before, so there's some taboo about it.

Therefore, after Huang Zheng earnestly talked with him, he's been thinking daily about how to perform better in front of Lin An to gain favor.

Unconsciously, he couldn't help but start to guess Lin An's intentions.

However, unexpectedly.

Lin An gave everyone a moment to digest, then looked directly at Colonel Chu:

"This matter was discussed and decided by me and Chu An together."

"Awakened Ones are the top priority of the Safe Zone."

"Originally, following my earlier plan, I would rely on the Land of Rules to slowly improve survivors' physiques, supplemented with awakening potions..."

"Basically, most members of Long'an Base can become Awakened Ones."

"All we need is time."

"But now the situation has changed."

"First, increasing personnel cannot quickly turn them into combat power; for us, the pressure is too great."

"Second, Chu An provided me with an idea, a way to exploit a loophole in the system rewards."

Most people didn't really understand, especially those not in the rescue squad.

Lin An wants to build a legion of a million Awakened Ones—how many would have to die?

Ordinary players becoming Awakened Ones either slowly absorb spirit energy, then at the final stage gulp a large amount to break human limits,

or they directly touch a spirit energy node, rely on physique, and gamble on luck.

Both methods carry a risk of death.

The former is tolerable, needing talent and time; the latter is pure luck.

A million Awakened Ones would require screening nearly a hundred million people at minimum!

And what is this awakening potion?

Those who can't see the rescuers' mission naturally don't know that Lin An obtained the intermediate awakening potion formula after completing the task.

(This reward comes from merged mission rewards, chapter 139.)

And what about the system reward loophole?

Which system reward does it refer to?

As everyone puzzled and stared in shock, Chu An supplemented:

"First, not mentioning the awakening potion, this reward is granted by the system but not listed in the system announcements."

"I can tell you all, taking the intermediate awakening potion reduces awakening mortality by 60%! With the aid of the spirit energy tower, ordinary players becoming Awakened Ones face almost no risk."

Upon hearing this, Liang Shaoguang and others stared wide-eyed at Lin An.

Where did this thing come from!?

Goodness, if it's true...

This could sell for a sky-high price!

In the apocalypse, what's more important than boosting strength? Who wouldn't want to become an Awakened One?

But the mortality is too high, the requirements too steep...

Even counting dead Awakened Ones, the base's three thousand survivors never exceeded a hundred.

Upon hearing this news, Huang Haitao suddenly realized why Lin An divided the inner and outer cities.

This is, planning to forge a war fortress composed entirely of Awakened Ones!?

Thus, safety reaches an exaggerated level.

By then, who wouldn't want to join Long'an Base?

This news will likely be spread in later promotions...

He swallowed hard.

He's not stupid; he can imagine...

Once Long'an Base announces it possesses a potion lowering awakening mortality, just how frenzied will the Huaxia war zone become?

This casual remark by Lin An will completely overturn the landscape of the Huaxia war zone!

After giving everyone a moment to think, Chu An continued:

"As for the system reward..."

"I believe you've all felt your strength increase by 10%."

"Don't underestimate this 10%; in my and Lin An's tests, this increase is an extra addition."

"In other words, it's forcibly raised..."

Yun Tian subconsciously nodded after hearing that.

After Lin An completed the mission, the system announcement rewarded all members with a 10% attribute increase.

Taking his mental power attribute as an example, it increased by a full 1.4.

This is almost comparable to his talent bonus.

But, what does Colonel Chu An want to express?

What does this have to do with the card loophole?

Upon first participating in the base's core meeting, he began to feel his mind wasn't enough.

Soon, Chu An also didn't beat around the bush and directly explained:

"It's very simple."

"As everyone knows, the necessary condition for a player to become an Awakened One is to increase all attributes to 10 points, reaching the human limit."

"8 points, 9 points... these are not hard to achieve."

"Even if you lie in the Rule Land, lying in the Safe Zone can achieve this effect."

"But the closer you get to the limit, the harder the increase becomes."

"The final 1 point of attribute is harder than going from 5 to 9!"

"That's exactly what was said."

Besides Gao Tian and Wen Ya suddenly understanding Chu An's meaning, the others couldn't help but look toward Colonel Chu An.

So then?

Chu An lightly lifted his glasses frame and smiled:

"But..."

If we let base members raise their attributes to 9 points, first kick him out of Long'an Base. Let him raise his own to 9.1...

Then let him rejoin the base.

In that case, the system will additionally give him the final....

Then his attribute value will instantly break through 10 points, reaching the Awakened Ones' minimum standard.

Basically, we're just letting the system help him break through the hardest threshold!

Combined with the Awakening Potion and Spirit Energy Tower, we can mass-produce Awakened Ones quickly!

The method is simple and brutal.

Now, everyone present, even Liang Shaoguang, understood Chu An's meaning.

A silence fell, hearts pounding.

Everyone subconsciously glanced at each other, seeing a hint of shock in the other's eyes.

If the method discussed by Lin An and Colonel Chu An works, then isn't it...

Producing millions of Awakened Ones in a short time would be as easy as playing a game!?

No... even if just the potion and numbers are sufficient.

Not to mention millions, tens of millions are possible.

Ten million Awakened Ones... that scene wouldn't be too exaggerated.

After all, raising attributes to 9 points really isn't difficult.

Most active-duty soldiers or athletes have their attributes around seven to eight points.

Lin An couldn't help but smile at the stunned members.

This idea was also something he had just thought of two hours ago.

After discussing with Chu An, the feasibility is as high as 90%!

The only limitations are the base's capacity and the materials needed for the Awakening Potion.

But coming back to this, he could think of this point purely because he followed the Savior System's certainty that it wouldn't randomly give him things.

100 prestige, Cain's Blade, and the difficulty of the Huaxia war zone mission is reduced.

These three rewards are not bad.

Two increase oneself, one reduces the current difficulty of the Huaxia war zone.

Only the base members' 10% attribute increase feels a bit strange.

After thinking it over, Lin An keenly perceived the true intention of the Savior System.

Give himself a Doomsday Base Vehicle, let him build a city, and also give the formula for the Awakening Potion.

No matter how you think about it, it's all about establishing a super powerful force for oneself!

Heh, a legion of millions of Awakened Ones...

His gaze was deep and dim.

In Lin An's true thoughts, he even plans to create nearly ten million Awakened Ones in the great disaster less than a year from now, to fight the enemy!

Whether it's him or the entire tragic history of humanity, it will be completely changed in this life.
