NOVEL NEXT Chapter 284: Armor Upgrade, Continuous Upgrades!
[Basic Exoskeleton: Body, Arms, Legs, Feet, Connecting Joints, Active Joints, Elbow Joint Components (Hard Aluminum Alloy X10, Power Controller X1, Battery Pack X1, Power Cable X10, Copper Ingot X15, Sturdy Cotton Cloth X5, Rubber X1), Precision Electric Actuator]
Complex materials gathered together, and after a flash of white light, assembled into something with a strange shape, featuring many straps and joints.
[You have obtained: Basic Exoskeleton!]
Seeing an old friend appear once more, Lin Yue couldn't help but feel excited.
The importance of this exoskeleton speaks for itself. After losing it last time, Lin Yue found himself quite unaccustomed.
At one point, he was even forced into a desperate situation due to this.
In Lin Yue's current view, you can't rely excessively on this thing, but you can't do without it either.
Use it appropriately in battles, and when transporting heavy objects or doing other demanding tasks, it must be used when needed.
Human physical and mental energy are both limited. After all, upon arriving in the Otherworld, no one becomes a superhero with boundless power, spitting fire or water. Inventing or discovering more energy-efficient survival tools is the path to take.
But indeed, having these should not lead one to neglect oneself.
Lin Yue looked at the rudimentary exoskeleton, inspecting the various components, and found a lithium battery, 10 units of zinc alloy, and some fiberglass in the storeroom to place atop it.
[Do you want to upgrade Basic Exoskeleton to Intermediate Exoskeleton MK2? Requires Intermediate Universal Upgrade Design Map X3]
MK2? Nice one, straight to an enhanced version of the Intermediate Exoskeleton, eh?
However, this is even better.
He actually always had some opinions about the "Basic" label on the original exoskeleton.
After all, the word "Basic" in "Basic Exoskeleton" looks tacky no matter how you see it.
Who wouldn't want their equipment to have a prefix like "Excellent" or "Legendary" or "Epic"?
Even though it's not those words, "Intermediate MK2" isn't bad either.
[You have obtained Intermediate Exoskeleton MK2!]
A white light flashed again, and the exoskeleton before Lin Yue underwent a remarkable transformation!
Now it's heavier, with much more metal parts covering it like armor, neat and orderly, very sturdy and with a strong sense of design.
The battery has been upgraded from the previous battery pack to a larger capacity lithium battery, making the kinetic energy stronger.
The joint parts and pedals replaced with fiberglass rather than cotton cloth, more flexible and more durable.
Compared to the old one, this one now looks much more impressive.
Lin Yue promptly donned the exoskeleton and immediately felt a completely different sensation from before!
"Emma, this flexibility feels like it's growing out of my own body, and seems to have multiplied its power!" Lin Yue tried lifting a broken freezer by the warehouse and found it unexpectedly easy, exclaiming with amazement.
Not only that, its flexibility is higher than before by not just a notch, the lithium battery-powered motor makes it a lethal weapon with both strength and agility!
"Now for both transportation and combat, it seems I can be stronger than before. The only drawback now is the Bone Armor."
Lin Yue took off his Bone Armor and placed it on the ground.
Though sturdy, Bone Armor fails to keep up with evolving Lizardman weapons.
Its strength was relatively sufficient to defend against stone spears and swords, but faced with steel guns and knives, it might be cut apart in one close encounter.
Lin Yue felt it also needed an upgrade.
"Upgrade... Alloy and metallic materials seem impractical, this thing is very lightweight, if iron or steel were used, it would become cumbersome with restricted movement... Wait, isn't there that option?"
Lin Yue walked to the outside warehouse, looking at something that's been unused, the Insect Armor!
Though not pretty, the massive Insect Armor is supremely hard, much stronger than Bone Armor at least.
This was obtained when he defeated the Blood-sucking Worm's queen in the Secret Realm, its resistance to swords and guns indeed surprised him.
When it was ultimately burned to death, the Insect Armor remained intact, later stored away unused.
Could this Insect Armor upgrade the Bone Armor?
Lin Yue picked up a piece of Insect Armor, about to place it above the Bone Armor, when he caught sight of something nearby forgotten for some time.
Poisonous Celestial Dragon Armor!
What a find, forgot about this thing.
Lin Yue lost interest in Insect Armor, as the massive insect was nothing compared to the Poison Celestial Dragon.
The Poison Celestial Dragon with this armor was even fearless of fire!
If not for collaboration with Bai and persistent attacks, the Poison Celestial Dragon was truly hard to deal with.
Lifting a piece of the Poison Celestial Dragon's shell onto the Bone Armor, the system voice simultaneously rang.
[Upgrade Bone Armor to Celestial Dragon Armor, requires Intermediate Universal Upgrade Design Map X1]
Lin Yue: ???
What on earth?
Requires an Intermediate Universal Upgrade Design Map? There's a division between intermediate and basic?
Lin Yue glanced at the Universal Upgrade Design Map he originally possessed, feeling a bit amused.
There's actually a division like intermediate and basic categories for this thing.
