Apocalyptic World: Surviving with my husband and my cute little babies-Chapter 148: Attempting to upgrade Golden Tablet

Elena and Ethan first informed everyone that they would attempt to upgrade the Golden Tablet, so they wouldn’t panic if any changes occurred later.

Everyone supported her decision, their faces glowing with excitement and enthusiasm for the changes that would come soon after the upgrade.

"Is there anything we should do?" Grandpa Caldwell asked.

"Nothing at all, Grandpa. The jades and antiques will handle everything. Just focus on your usual tasks," Elena replied, reassuring them that the upgrade would be straightforward.

With that, everyone busied themselves, entering the space to continue their individual tasks.

Once inside, Elena retrieved the antiques and jades, preparing to upgrade the Golden Tablet.

The last time they attempted to upgrade the Golden Tablet, the Experience tab was stuck at 73%, requiring an additional 27% to reach Tier 1.

Without further ado, she waved her hand, and the piles of jade and antiques became transparent, transforming into golden sparkles that floated above.

"It’s so beautiful," Elena murmured, mesmerized by the golden sparkles.

"What’s beautiful?" Ethan asked, confused, as he looked around the area.

The only thing that changed was that the jade and antiques became transparent.

"The spiritual energy! It’s sparkling—can’t you see it?" Elena said, gasping in awe as she gazed at the shimmering energy once more.

"Nope," Ethan replied, squinting as he tried to see what his wife was pointing at.

Elena didn’t reply any further, believing she might be the only one who could see the spiritual energy.

After a moment, she watched as all the jade and antiques transformed into golden sparkles.

She then summoned and released her Golden Tablet, allowing spiritual energy to flow into it.

Soon, the Experience Tab points began to increase gradually, but then it slowed down around 95%, making her a bit nervous.

’Why does it feel like the Golden Tablet is teasing me?’

However, the points continued to rise, and finally, the Experience Tab reached 100%.

Elena was excited to see the potential changes within the Golden Tablet.

She waited for a moment, but nothing happened.

The Golden Tablet simply hovered, radiating a shining light.

Seeing his wife frowning, Ethan assumed the attempt to upgrade the Golden Tablet had failed.

He quickly tried to comfort her, saying, "Don’t worry, wife. We can collect more later."

Elena was engrossed, staring intently at the Golden Tablet, feeling annoyed.

However, she felt a bit better when she heard her husband’s comforting words. Still, she glared at the Golden Tablet for the suspense it seemed to be creating.

"Husband, the Experience Tab Bar reached 100%. I’m just confused as to why there’s no reaction."

Hearing this, Ethan shot a fierce look at the rugged tablet for making his wife anxious, but it suddenly vanished, leaving them both bewildered.

Elena noticed a white dot appearing and descending from above.

She recognized it instantly. It was the same dot that had entered her mind before.

She was about to tell her husband that she might be unconscious for a while and that he shouldn’t worry or panic, but before she could speak, the white dot entered her head, rendering her helpless.

She just hoped her husband wouldn’t do anything reckless in her absence.

Unbeknownst to her, the moment she was unconscious, all the marked individuals inside the space were forcefully expelled, leaving her alone.

Ethan was stunned when he found himself back in the unit alone. Panic set in as he searched for his wife.

"Wife! Where are you?" he exclaimed, worried about her and their unborn child.

The others were equally taken aback; they had been focused on their tasks inside the space when a force suddenly pulled them out, leaving them confused.

"What happened? Where is Elena?" Grandpa Caldwell asked anxiously.

Ethan briefly explained what had occurred during the attempted upgrade of the Golden Tablet.

"Since we were all expelled except for Elena, she must be safe. It may be the Golden Tablet’s way of protecting itself and its owner," Grandpa Ford suggested after analyzing the situation.

Ethan took a moment to calm himself, hoping his beloved wife would be safe. He waited for her return while attempting to use the skills of the Golden Tablet.

The [Inventory] skill was still functioning, which brought him some relief.

’Wife, come back soon, or I might go insane.’

On the other side, Elena was busy processing the information sent by the white dot.

The upgrade was successful, and changes were now being implemented within the Golden Tablet and the surrounding space.

According to the white dot, it would take a full 8 hours to implement the changes completely.

"Sigh, why does it have to take so long?" she wondered.

Soon, the space’s environment changed.

The fruits, vegetables, trees, herbs, and other plants began to grow rapidly, reaching a point where they were ready to be harvested.

The well water had also been enhanced, but this time, the white dot provided only brief information, so she would have to study it later for other details.

In addition, the spiritual energy within the space thickened, making it more suitable for raising animals.

There were many changes, and Elena accepted them, hoping she would not forget about them.

Aside from that, the white dot also provided information about the changes to the Golden Tablet.

Her previous skills were now available to other marked individuals, which excited her.

[Telepathy] skills can be used simultaneously, like group chats, making them great strategies during team fights.

She could now also mark 500 individuals, and the time limit had increased by 2 hours, allowing the marked individuals to stay longer in space for at least 5 hours.

While many changes and new skills were introduced, Elena had no time to explore them, as they made her head ache.

She was concerned that this might affect her baby, so she hoped it would all be over soon.

However, the most incredible gift the Golden Tablet had given her was the awakening of her space ability.

The gist is that she needed to upgrade the Golden Tablet to enhance the space ability further.

But she was still thankful, as she had become an ability user without breaking a sweat.

After two hours of being unconscious in space, Elena woke up groggily and took a moment to gather her thoughts.
