Raising My Trash Ability into a Broken SSS+ Rank Skill Chapter 685 The Adventurer Plans

Vritra strolled onto the balcony of one of the chambers, abandoning his so-called 'friends' who he realized were not truly who he thought they were.

Shitless and Onest scrambled to offer explanations, but the moment had already passed.

Shaking his head, Vritra surveyed the frosty terrain, noting that the snowbanks were receding with each passing day.

"I have 1 million sin points in reserve, so there is no shortage of provisions. Still, it would be ideal to pull something truly valuable."

Before doing that, he checked the attribute points he had harvested from those 58 lottery rounds.

[9 Strength, 15 Agility, 14 Endurance, 12 Spiritual, 4 Free Attribute points.]

"Not bad at all. With these ascension paths, I should be capable of handling the majority of my foes." After pausing, he inquired:

"Divine, when exactly will the subsequent evolution manifest?"

"That will arrive at 1000 points, but that milestone is still quite a distance away," Divine replied immediately.

"Has anyone else managed to undergo that evolution already?"

Vritra persisted with his questioning; he needed to gauge the caliber of his potential adversaries.

"Indeed, they exist, yet they remain very distant from your current reach," he answered.

"I see. Is there any method to accelerate this? My goal is to return home as soon as possible." Vritra stated, his thoughts lingering on Yasmine.

"There is an alternative. You might reach the second evolution with great speed, potentially becoming one of the most powerful entities in the entire game," Divine stated, his tone turning somber.

After a brief silence, Vritra pressed, "What is it? Is it actually feasible?"

"Not for the masses, but the process resembles what you have previously endured. You would confront an unrelenting tide of mutants and beasts; it will be exceptionally perilous. The beast cave serves more as a lethal trap; those who venture inside are often slaughtered," Divine explained.

"The beast cave, that is where Morgan was racing toward. He was convinced some extraordinary reward was concealed within."

Vritra felt his irritation flare at the mere thought of that pig.

"True, I can provide some assistance, but that battle will be grueling and filled with various constraints. Even for one like you, the survival rate is abysmal. Do you truly wish to proceed?"

Had this been in the past, Vritra would have accepted without a blink. Now, however, he hesitated; he had no desire to leave his child fatherless or see his wives succumb to despair.

"So, between heading to the tower or entering that beast cave, how do the survival odds compare?" Vritra asked.

"They are roughly identical. Those individuals are advancing rapidly. By the time you reach them, eliminating them will be no small feat," Divine said with a noncommittal shrug.

"*Sigh*, it seems I have little choice in the matter. I must proceed to grow stronger, though I have to enter alone." He resolved.

He then requested further intelligence regarding the cave from Divine.

Just as Vritra began to head back into the room for some rest, Divine added:

"Oh, by the way, I recently clashed with some formidable entities. Naturally, I emerged victorious."

"Uh, congratulations... I suppose? Why are you sharing this with me?" Vritra could sense Divine cooking up some sort of trouble.

"It is of no consequence, really. They happened to be of the kin of higher beings. When you eventually reach that echelon, you will need to carve out a place for yourself among them, so I was merely laying the groundwork. It is no big deal." He fell silent thereafter.

Vritra rolled his eyes. Higher beings possessed status and power far exceeding that of gods. Essentially, these higher beings acted as overseers of the planets, while gods were mere sentinels under their command. If Divine had really soundly defeated them, Vritra could only wonder what level his true strength had attained.

'Regardless, if I am truly going to the beast cave, I need a reliable way to ensure this location remains secure.'

He pondered this while stepping back into the bedroom.

"Anyway, draw rewards using 5000 points. Spend it all." He ordered as the wheel began to spin rapidly before his eyes.

[You have obtained 100,000 boxes of peanut butter!]

[You have obtained the Unbreakable Turtle Shell!]

[You have obtained the Dew of Stamina!]

[You have obtained the Shield of Forever!]

[You have obtained 13 Spiritual Attribute points!]

…

In an instant, 200 notifications cluttered Vritra's vision. This time, basic supplies were sparse, with the bulk consisting of high-value rewards.

"A turtle shell?" He pulled out the glassy, shell-like object and reviewed its details.

『 [Unbreakable Turtle Shell] [Description]: A potent defensive artifact that remains invincible so long as the user's mental focus is steadfast. Note: There may exist alternative methods to compromise its integrity. 』

"Excellent." With a light squeeze, the glass shell shattered into countless motes of light that enveloped him.

It shielded his entire form.

『 [Dew of Stamina] [Description]: A serum that instantly restores the consumer's stamina and prevents exhaustion for exactly 4 hours. 』

"This is equally useful. There are 20 vials, enough to keep me energized for over 80 hours."

He then evaluated the Shield of Forever and realized that Divine had indeed addressed all his lingering concerns. It possessed sufficient power to protect his family for over a month. There were other miscellaneous items, such as restorative medicines, which would undoubtedly prove useful down the line.

[51 Strength, 52 Agility, 64 Endurance, 60 Spiritual, 56 Free Attribute points!]

"Whoa, that is a massive increase!" He quickly scrutinized his status panel.

『 [Stats] (Strength: 440.6) (Agility: 345.3) (Endurance: 350.8) (Spiritual: 387.3) {Free Attribute: 76} 』

"I will hold onto these free attributes for now and allocate them once I am inside the beast cave."

Having concluded, he reclined on the bed. Nearby, Yennefer and Maeve were deep in their own processes of ascension.

"Let's wait it out for a day." He was feeling rather restless; though observing his lovely wives was invigorating, resisting the urge to disturb them was a true test of his resolve. Their features were simply too alluring. He would have engaged Shitless and Onest in conversation, but the two were occupied with their own affairs.

"They should be finished by now, shouldn't they?" The thought made him chuckle. He knew the reality of the situation, but teasing them was too tempting. He decided to pay them a visit and have some fun.

***

The day passed in relative silence, and thankfully, no one dared to intrude upon them following Vritra's stern warning. Each of the women eventually began to awaken, discovering strength attribute crystals thoughtfully placed by their sides. These were fragments Vritra had scavenged from the cinema; he had retained a surplus without finding an opportune moment to distribute them, but now was the perfect time for his companions to utilize them. He had extended the same courtesy to Shitless and Onest as well, who had also commenced their ascension once they were certain Vritra had accepted their explanations as a mere misunderstanding. Diana was the final one among the women to stir from her ritual. Once everyone had finished, Vritra called an emergency meeting and briefed them on the existence of the beast cave. He chose not to obscure the truth, and he made it clear they could not accompany him. This was a trial he had to face solo. It was, however, a stroke of fortune that they would reap rewards passively; their own levels of cultivation were bound to swell accordingly. Despite their reluctance and the heavy atmosphere, his wives eventually bowed to his logic, and Vritra moved forward with his preparations to depart. He lay back on his bed, mentally itemizing his haul, just as Diana, Maeve, and Yennefer entered the room. All three had adorned themselves in provocative attire beneath their outer garments. ❖❖❖ Thanks for reading... adios
