Chapter 43: with translation of chapter title

【Ding ling ling!】

After comforting Xiao Anni, Su Hao's communicator bracelet suddenly rang; upon checking, it was a voice call from Ling Xue'er.

Could it be that he's run into some trouble?

Su Hao frowned slightly, then lightly tapped his finger to answer the call.

"Boss, uh, the leader is still in a meeting, and I also got a sudden task today, so I might not be able to come until tomorrow."

As soon as the call connected, Ling Xue'er's apologetic voice came through.

In response, Su Hao instead breathed a sigh of relief; as long as it wasn't trouble, he wasn't in a hurry for this moment, getting the Blood Octopus Tentacles a day or two later wouldn't matter.

The God Summer Doomsday Investigation Group being able to go out on missions normally during the first extreme cold disaster surprised Su Hao a bit.

This shows that Ling Xue'er's team now has at least one Warm Sun Lantern; according to Su Hao's knowledge, it's the only supernatural item that can shield against extreme cold disasters outdoors.

"We need to figure out how to get a Warm Sun Lantern."

Su Hao rubbed his chin, knowing the extreme cold disaster wasn't a one-time thing; if he had a Warm Sun Lantern in hand, next time the extreme cold disaster came, he wouldn't have to stay home passively.

However, as long as he could join the God Summer Doomsday Investigation Group, he'd eventually get a Warm Sun Lantern, so there's no rush.

Afterwards, Su Hao stopped thinking about it and smiled slightly, saying:

"It's fine; you can come the day after tomorrow, once the extreme cold disaster is over."

"The day after tomorrow? Boss, you know when the disaster ends?!!"

"Hmm, yesterday while exploring the Dark Forest, I obtained a supernatural item that can predict some supernatural disasters."

Since he's already in contact with official personnel, Su Hao himself is practically about to join the God Summer Doomsday Investigation Group.

So he plans to share some information, as long as it doesn't cause him trouble, to reduce casualties in the God Summer apocalypse.

The best method is naturally to attribute all information sources to supernatural items.

Supernatural items are numerous and complex; no one knows how many types exist in this world, nor what functions they have.

As long as one doesn't act like they're predicting the future and attributes the information source to supernatural items, generally no one will suspect.

Indeed, as Su Hao thought, when Ling Xue'er heard about the supernatural device, she suddenly understood and had no doubts.

At the same time she guessed that Su Hao saying this meant he wanted to share this information with God Summer.

After understanding, she nodded earnestly and sincerely thanked:

"Boss, thanks for the info; I'll report this to the leadership. If the intel is solid, from now on we'll rely on your warnings, and of course the corresponding rewards won't be lacking."

"Don't worry; if anything happens, I'll let you know in advance."

"Then thanks, Boss; I've got things to do, I'll hang up now!"

Having said that, Ling Xue'er hung up, looking at the communicator bracelet, filled with mixed feelings.

One can only say, as expected of a boss, he even has such a treasure; if he can truly predict disasters, even just a day or two early, it could greatly reduce losses for God Summer.

Afterwards she set this aside, and with the remaining four members, under the gaze of a flock of crows, walked toward an abandoned monastery and entered a tomb.

……

Meanwhile, inside Su Hao's shelter.

Due to lacking a Warm Sun Lantern, Su Hao couldn't resist the cold from the extreme cold disaster, so he had no plan to go out exploring.

With nothing to do, after hanging up, Su Hao pushed open the shelter's main door and headed downstairs.

Once the extreme cold disaster ends, he'll need to prepare to bring the Flower Spirit Elf Clan over.

Although Su Hao's shelter is several times larger than others', it's obviously impossible to house the entire Flower Spirit Elf Clan inside.

So Su Hao thought that once the Flower Spirit Elf Clan moves in, he'll let them stay first in the downstairs building, and later when the shelter expands enough, they can move in.

This time going downstairs, he intended to take advantage of having nothing to do to tidy up his personal belongings and Xiao Anni's stuff and bring them back to the shelter.

In Su Hao's own room, aside from some clothing, there was nothing else to take; after a quick tidy, he continued downstairs to Xiao Anni's home.

His goal was clear: any toys or children's clothing, etc., would all go into the storage bag.

At first everything was normal, but when Su Hao picked up a stuffed bear from the sofa, a prompt suddenly popped up before his eyes.

【Ding!】

【You have bound a weird shelter; to continue binding this shelter, you must first unbind from the original shelter.】

【Note: rebinding a new shelter will not awaken new talents and skills!】

……

"What?! There's actually another shelter?!"

Seeing the prompt pop up, Su Hao first blinked in surprise, then his face lit up with joy.

Shelters being such good things, naturally the more the better.

Once bound to a shelter, not only do you gain a safe residence that wards off ominous curses, but you also awaken unique talents and skills, boosting your potential and combat power.

Likewise, among supernaturals, those who awaken talents and skills can usually exert greater strength.

However, Su Hao still hesitated about how to use this shelter.

His Synthesis Heart can synthesize anything; perhaps three identical shelters could be combined into a stronger one.

"No way, no way!"

But soon, Su Hao rejected that idea.

The shelter he currently has bound is formed by stealing weird power, making it a 【Weird Shelter】, which differs from other shelters.

Even if he really found two unbound shelters, he couldn't combine them with his own.

Through these days of synthesizing, Su Hao gained a deeper understanding of the Synthesis Heart: if using three identical items to synthesize, the result is definitely positive.

But if using two different materials to synthesize, the result is uncontrollable, like the skeleton bone armor; after synthesis the item's effect is worse than before.

If the weird power of his shelter were to be synthesized away, that would be laughable.

"Hmm... I'll just give it to Anni to use!"

After a brief thought, Su Hao temporarily abandoned the idea of synthesis and decided to take it for Xiao Anni to use.

After Xiao Anni awakened her talent and skill, in the apocalypse she gained an extra measure of safety, and she herself felt more reassured.

Once we later obtain supernatural runes or potions and let her become a supernatural being, she might even become the youngest expert in the apocalypse!

Of course, Su Hao had no intention of making Xiao Anni do anything; he only hoped she could survive better in the apocalypse.

After making up his mind, Su Hao no longer hesitated, tidied up the things in the room, then returned to the shelter and had Xiao Anni place her hand on the teddy bear.

Regarding Su Hao's words, Xiao Anni naturally had no doubt; she unhesitatingly stretched out her pink little hand and lightly pressed it onto the teddy bear.

The next moment.

The teddy bear then emitted a green light that shot into Xiao Anni's forehead.

In Su Hao's spiritual perception, he discovered that Xiao Anni's mental power had instantly increased severalfold, and even compared to his own First Rank flesh controller, it was only slightly weaker.

However, what surprised him was that the teddy bear did not turn into a house.

At the same time, Xiao Anni opened her eyes, full of joy, and hugged Su Hao's calf.

"Brother, brother, Annie seems to have become powerful; from now on I can help you beat up bad guys!"

"I don't need your help fighting; just stay home and behave!"

Su Hao smiled with relief, flicked her nose lightly with a finger, and lifted her up.

"By the way, do you know what talent and skill you have awakened?"
