My God-Level System Can Rebuild Civilization in the Apocalypse!

Chapter 58: Spider Gear Testing

The only solution was to practice continuously through repeated movement and training.

There was no easier method.

Still, Joo Joowon was not disappointed by that conclusion.

At the very least, his Mental Power was high enough.

He was not afraid of learning.

Increasing Mental Power did not raise a person’s intelligence directly.

However, it greatly improved learning ability and comprehension.

For most people, the peak of their memory and learning ability usually occurred during their final year of high school.

After that, both gradually declined alongside changes in environment and the weakening of physical condition over time.

However, with ten points in Mental Power, Joo Joowon had already completely surpassed the version of himself from that stage of life.

Based on his own estimation, as long as he practiced diligently without stopping, he would probably fully adapt to the functions of these shoes within one or two days at most.

After figuring out that the time cost was not nearly as terrible as he first imagined, Joo Joowon’s resentment toward the bizarre looking shoes lessened considerably.

Still, another problem quickly surfaced afterward.

The appearance of the shoes was simply too eye catching.

Anyone who saw them would immediately realize they were high quality equipment.

Although Joo Joowon himself knew the shoes were only average quality and the bonus attributes were not much different from ordinary beginner equipment, the flashy appearance alone was enough for some people to mistake them for top tier treasure.

Of course, simply possessing the ability to walk on walls already made them a fairly impressive item.

Joo Joowon experimented with them for a while but failed to discover any function that could hide the equipment’s appearance.

In the end, he could only comfort himself with the thought that in the apocalypse, looking like a powerful expert was still much better than appearing weak and easy to bully.

While distracting himself by continuously walking along the walls and trying to turn wall running into instinctive muscle memory, Joo Joowon also took out the Spider Web Launcher.

The Spider Web Launcher looked like a tiny spider model no larger than a thumb.

It stood atop a spider web, while a single silk thread connected the web to the spider’s abdomen.

After observing it for a while, Joo Joowon still could not figure out how the thing was supposed to work.

So he directly chose to silently command it to equip itself.

There were two methods of equipping items in the apocalypse game.

The first method involved manually wearing them.

Even if someone wore their underwear on their head, the equipment slot it occupied would still remain the underwear slot.

In other words, as long as an item was physically worn on the body, no matter how ridiculous the arrangement looked, the game would still recognize the equipment as properly equipped.

The second method was mentally commanding the equipment to equip itself.

The apocalypse game would automatically place the equipment into the appropriate slot.

So even if someone obtained equipment without understanding how to use it, there was no need to panic.

The game would equip it automatically.

This was probably one of the very few remaining functions in the game that actually benefited players.

The moment Joo Joowon silently commanded the equipment to equip itself, the Spider Web Launcher suddenly "came alive."

The tiny spider rapidly moved its eight long slender legs and crawled toward his wrist.

Then, as though sinking into mud, it slowly merged into his skin little by little.

Eventually, a pitch black tattoo formed near the wrist bone.

At the same time, Joo Joowon’s brain immediately sensed that he had gained an entirely new organ.

This invisible organ existed near his wrist.

Joo Joowon could vaguely sense the developed spinning tubes and swollen silk glands inside the "spinneret."

The silk spiders released from their bodies actually existed as liquid silk while still inside them.

Looking at those tiny glands, Joo Joowon could not help wondering just how much silk this thing could produce.

Would it eventually run out of webbing if he used it too much?

This was still another organ that required adaptation.

The spider silk would shoot out through the tattoo on Joo Joowon’s wrist, then stick to any object he wanted it to attach to.

Just as the equipment description suggested, the operation method was very similar to Spider-Man.

However, since the system classified the Spider Web Launcher as a hidden weapon type equipment, its functions were naturally not limited to a single purpose.

Spider webs possessed many uses.

Hunting, nurturing offspring, transmitting signals...

In addition, spider silk was also known as biological steel and was considered one of the strongest natural fibers humanity on Gaia had ever discovered.

And the silk produced by the Spider Web Launcher possessed those same characteristics as well.

Spiders clearly categorized every strand of silk they created.

Some strands were specifically used for hunting.

Some were specialized for transmitting signals.

Although every strand looked identical on the surface, their structures had already changed internally the moment the spider produced them.

The silk used for hunting was the toughest.

The silk used for transmitting signals was the most sensitive.

The silk used for nurturing offspring was the softest...

Joo Joowon was extremely interested in the combat silk the spider zombie used during its final attack against him, the kind of web that could blast through walls after being fired.

Unfortunately, the Spider Web Launcher did not possess that function.

Aside from ordinary utility usage, the reason the equipment was classified as a hidden weapon was because it could launch a restraining web used to trap enemies.

Its direct killing power was actually very low.

Joo Joowon awkwardly manipulated this unfamiliar new organ and aimed toward the opposite wall.

Lock on.

Fire.

Boom!

"Meow?!"

Byeol who had been peacefully sleeping on Joo Joowon’s bed instantly jumped upright with wide round eyes.

Was there a burglar inside the house?!

"Cough cough..."

Joo Joowon climbed up from the floor covered in dust and waved his hand toward Byeol.
