Chapter 12 Upgrading from a slingshot to a cannon
When the Yunnan Baiyao's levels dropped to 67%, the rate of consumption began to slow down, because many of Huang Hong's shallower wounds had already healed.
Finally, when Yunnan Baiyao had 42% remaining, it stopped completely, and by then all of Huang Hong's wounds had healed.
Huang Hong spent a total of 27 energy points to upgrade Yunnan Baiyao from damaged quality to rare quality, and only used 58% of that energy to heal all kinds of injuries on his body, which is quite good.
The sterile gauze wasn't used this time, but Huang Hong didn't throw it away. After all, loading [Yunnan Baiyao] is an operation that only occurs under safe conditions. Under normal conditions, [Elemental Core (Earth)] should be the main focus. In this case, the sterile gauze can play an emergency role.
Of course, I didn't forget to bring some iodine solution, and I also packed a few extra boxes of Yunnan Baiyao. As for other medicines, I skipped them.
Finding the medicine and recovering took about an hour. Although Huang Hong was quite tired, it wasn't time to rest yet; he still needed to change his equipment.
It's actually quite simple, because there's never a shortage of clothing stores around the neighborhood, and there's one just a few steps away from the pharmacy.
Huang Hong quickly found a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt, sweatpants, and sneakers in the clothing store. He wasn't familiar with the logos on them; they were probably from some unknown small brand.
There's not much to say about the sweatshirt and sweatpants after they were upgraded to rare quality; their stats are average. However, the sneakers gave Huang Hong a pleasant surprise...
[Tianma 3 Running Shoes]
Affixes: armor, feet
Quality: Rare
Attribute: A pair of ergonomic athletic shoes that increase movement speed by 5% and reduce stamina consumption by 5% when worn.
Loading ability: Lightweight, movement speed is increased by 5%, and jump speed is increased by 10%.
These sneakers are the first item Huang Hong has ever seen that is naturally of ordinary quality. Their attributes are stronger than those ordinary quality items that are enhanced from damaged quality.
Of course, correspondingly, upgrading it to rare quality requires more source energy, reaching 23 points, which is almost double that of the previous four-piece set.
Does this mean that every item has its own limits, and instead of upgrading low-quality items to higher quality, it's better to invest resources directly in high-quality items?
Huang Hong couldn't find any suitable weapons, so he continued to use the iron spear for the time being.
The first thing a blind person does after regaining their sight is, of course, to throw away their cane.
Now that I have a new set of equipment, I naturally have to dismantle my old security guard outfit.
To Huang Hong's dismay, the three pieces of equipment only yielded 6 points of source energy. He didn't know if it was because the equipment was too damaged or for some other reason.
There was no need to find another place. Huang Hong piled several large coat racks in the corner to block the view, and then lay down in the corner to rest.
To be honest, he didn't get a good rest this time because of the ground sensing, monsters would occasionally step into the one-kilometer radius, waking him up.
After repeated attempts, Huang Hong was forced to master another ability: to make a deeper level of vigilance based on the distance the monster was getting close to him.
After a short rest of two or three hours, Huang Hong finally regained some energy and prepared to continue his journey. Next stop: Skyline.
Huang Hong's current position is not far from the horizon, about two or three kilometers away as the crow flies. Because he is unsure of the intensity of the battle after entering the horizon, he basically avoids the monsters he encounters along the way. If he can't avoid them, he tries to lure them to a secluded corner and kill them as quietly as possible.
Huang Hong quickly arrived at the eastern outer wall of the skyline. Without even looking for the main gate, he switched his loading item to the Pegasus 3 Running Shoes and quickly scaled the more than two-meter-high iron fence.
According to Wu Junyi, his villa was in Building 11 of Zone E. Huang Hong quickly determined the direction and headed towards that location.
Perhaps because there are fewer residents in the Skyline area and the population is not dense, there are far fewer monsters here than in the previous neighborhood. With Huang Hong deliberately avoiding battle, the advance was quite smooth.
When Huang Hong arrived at Building 11 in Zone E, his brows twitched involuntarily. The villa looked as if it had been bombarded, with over 80% of it damaged and only a few intact bricks and tiles remaining.
Huang Hong arrived at the collapsed carport, cleared away some rubble, and found a doorway.
The door is electronic, and Wu Junyi has already given him the password, but unfortunately, it's out of power!
Faced with this lump of iron, Huang Hong could only resort to the most rudimentary method: using the iron spear in his hand to pry it open little by little.
Fortunately, before the iron spear was completely destroyed, he managed to break the lock and open the underground door.
Upon entering, there is a spacious corridor that connects to many rooms, including an e-sports room, an entertainment room, a karaoke room, and a private cinema...
At this moment, Huang Hong strongly agrees with a joke circulating online: You think rich people are as happy as you imagine? No! You can't even imagine the happiness of the rich!!
Ignoring these, Huang Hong arrived at the innermost room. This room was quite large, and various weapons were arranged in a haphazard manner.
From swords, bows, and crossbows of the cold weapon era to various types of firearms, it can be said that everything is available.
Huang Hong picked up the silver artifact placed on a separate display stand. Its cold silver luster and streamlined shape made him feel reluctant to put it down.
Huang Hong didn't know much about firearms, but this one was different because it was the famous Desert Eagle, which could be seen in almost any shooting game.
The Desert Eagle in Huang Hong's hand is the standard Mark VII model, with a magazine capacity of 9 rounds and an effective range of 200 meters, which far exceeds that of other ordinary pistols.
On the Desert Eagle's display stand, there were also two magazines full of bullets.
Huang Hong fiddled with it for a while based on his limited knowledge before finally figuring out the basic operations such as manual safety and reloading.
Desert Eagle Mark VII
Affixes: weapons, firearms
Quality: Normal
Attributes: A large-caliber semi-automatic pistol.
Loading capability: Precision; the trajectory of the bullet will be automatically corrected slightly during firing.
This is also an ordinary quality item; in fact, over 70% of the weapons on display in this room are ordinary quality.
Putting away the Desert Eagle, Huang Hong looked at the other weapons, ignoring the larger ones, and finally focused his gaze on a Tang sword.
Huang Hong held it in his hand and examined it carefully. It was 105 cm long, with a blade length of 73 cm, a blade width of 3 cm, and a blade thickness of 0.85 cm. It was a single-edged blade, suitable for holding with both hands, and had already been sharpened.
The blade also has layers of forging marks, giving it a solid and sharp look.
【Tang Sword - Horizontal Blade】
Affixes: Weapons, Swords
Quality: Normal
Attribute: A sharp battle sword suitable for slashing.
Loading ability: Cutting; being hit by this weapon causes deeper wounds.
