Chapter 168: Chapter 128: Level 29 Electromagnetic Cannon, Personal Upgrade
"I think the vast, boundless wastelands of the Zerg Race territory are more suited for our fleet to maneuver in!"
"Don’t get carried away, Captain Li. Have your team members get ready, and quickly."
Li Ran nodded, saluted, and left.
Watching his retreating figure, Lin Feng waved his hand, signaling for Shen Jie to retract his Assimilation Form. Then he instructed,
"When the time comes, you’ll act with me."
"We’re going to hunt the Tier Two Zerg Race on the battlefield!"
"As for the squad you command, let Zhang Liying take over for now."
A flicker of excitement appeared in Shen Jie’s eyes. Something he had long awaited was finally about to happen.
After assigning everyone their tasks, Lin Feng returned to the rest area inside the Battleship.
In the bedroom, he saw Chen Yanyan already lying on the bed, deep in her Awakening. On the nightstand were a few empty refrigerated containers from the Organic Nutrient Liquid she had drunk.
So, Lin Feng sat down beside her and inspected the Electromagnetic Cannon slung over his back.
On the way back, Lin Feng had wielded the Level 25 Armor-Piercing Magnetic Cannon, switched to the Level 9 Divine-level Pistol mode, and wiped out a total of thirty-three Tier Two Zerg Eggs in one go.
Adding that to the parasitic matriarch he killed in Jia City Center before leaving, he had now harvested all the Upgrade Points needed for both the Armor-Piercing Magnetic Cannon and his own advancement to Tier Two Perfection.
Naturally, Lin Feng didn’t hesitate and immediately initiated the equipment’s Upgrade.
Gently stroking the fully upgraded Level 27 Electromagnetic Cannon, Lin Feng pulled up its Attribute data:
[Electromagnetic Cannon Lv. 27/29, Orange Quality]
[Upgrade Points: 19/9, Damage: 700, Effective Range: 10 km, Remaining Bullets: 10,000/10,000]
[Extra Attributes: Bullet Recovery 1/s, Spatial Magazine (10,000 reserve rounds), Eye of the Death God 0/50, Firepower Coverage Damage 50 + 50/s, Covering Area 10,000 sq. meters, Bullet Time 10s, Cooling 10 seconds,
Electromagnetic Detonation (Switch to Magnetic Storm Bomb, range reduced by a factor of ten, creates a Plasma Ball that eliminates targets within a 100-meter radius and paralyzes all life within a 500-meter radius)]
[New Extra Attribute: Electromagnetic Penetration (Charge for 10 seconds to gain a 100% bonus to shell velocity and a 100% increase to armor-piercing value)]
[Evaluation: This is a high-tech weapon that transcends reality. A breakthrough in electromagnetic miniaturization technology has pushed the damage potential of personal weaponry to another level. It is capable of breaking through the Defense of even more powerful, High Tier enemies!]
[Note: Be careful when using its electromagnetic properties. Sometimes, overwhelming power can also be a disaster!]
He looked at the changes after two consecutive level-ups.
Besides the 200-point increase in Basic Damage, the previously added Electromagnetic Detonation now possessed even greater firepower. The damage from a Magnetic Storm Bomb could affect a 500-meter radius.
But with its range reduced by a factor of ten, its maximum strike distance was only one kilometer.
This meant Lin Feng had to use it carefully.
Each Magnetic Storm Bomb had to be fired at a greater distance, or he’d get zapped himself.
As for the new Extra Attribute, Electromagnetic Penetration...
It utilized electromagnetic acceleration to increase the shell’s initial velocity by 100% after charging, with the immense power granting a stronger armor-piercing property.
From the Evaluation, it was clear that this attribute, the last to awaken in Tier Two, was meant to help the wielder of the Electromagnetic Cannon injure High Tier beings.
Activating the Electromagnetic Penetration attribute would allow him to threaten the life of a Tier Three Mother Empress.
It might not be a one-shot kill, but at the very least, he could force the enemy to retreat from a distance and would possess the potential to kill a Tier Three existence.
This attribute was a foundation laid in advance for the Tier Jumping Upgrade of both the equipment and its wielder.
Mulling this over, after choosing to initiate his own synchronized Upgrade, Lin Feng had the Level 27 Electromagnetic Cannon continue its upgrade.
He wanted to see what conditions the Level 29 Electromagnetic Cannon would need to meet for its Tier Jumping Upgrade to the next stage.
But before he initiated his Personal Upgrade, a notification popped up before him:
[For this upgrade, would you like to use reserve Spiritual Energy for a synchronous boost? Estimated additional Spiritual Attribute +50.]
[Note: After completing the upgrade, your Spiritual Attribute will break through your current Personal Level cap. Your abilities will undergo an unknown change.]
Lin Feng glanced at his Spiritual Attribute Value, which was as high as 595. According to the progression pattern in the Tier Two Middle-Late Stage, where each upgrade interval was one hundred points...
’As long as it increases by another 5 points or more,’
’I’ll probably go through the same thing as last time. During the upgrade process, my consciousness will fall into that uncontrollable, bizarre Spirit World.’
Lin Feng had no desire to visit that strange and desolate space a second time, especially not when Chen Yanyan was in a deep Tier Two Awakening right in front of him.
’If something goes wrong with both of us at the same time, it’ll be a huge problem.’
Lin Feng had a faint feeling that if he entered that Spirit World right now, Chen Yanyan, who was also in the middle of an Awakening Upgrade, would very likely wake up as well.
’What if some unforeseen accident occurs, causing damage to our spiritual consciousness, and we can never wake up?’
After careful consideration, the ever-cautious Lin Feng chose not to use this Spiritual Energy for now. He would first raise his own level and Attributes to Perfection.
After clicking cancel...
A steady stream of warmth flowed from the body of the gun into Lin Feng’s body. The upgrade of the equipment and its wielder was proceeding in sync.
Having already gone through the Tier Two Tier Jump Awakening and the leap from Level 24’s Middle and Early Stages, he now possessed a Physique Attribute of 570. He was completely unfazed by the energy remodeling his body.
The entire process was completely painless.
Not only was there not a trace of pain, but Lin Feng even felt a sense of euphoria, as if he were floating on air.
His body and Spirit felt as if they were undergoing a dual baptism, from the inside out.
Half an hour later, when Lin Feng opened his eyes, he was completely refreshed.
He smiled as he looked at the data floating before him:
