Without time to think, Li Yu quickly began upgrading the next piece of equipment.

He decisively switched his experience target to the head equipment slot, gripped the crystal core tightly in his hand, and fully activated the cyclone to absorb its energy.

Upgrade successful

[Bulletproof Helmet LV2: Mental Defense +20, Mental Strength +20]

[Bulletproof Helmet LV3]

[Bulletproof Helmet LV4]

The upgrade speed remained rapid, and Li Yu continued to absorb and transform the information.

With his current Qi rotation speed as a third-tier awakened being, upgrading an equipment slot to level five is still very easy for him.

[Bulletproof Helmet LV5: Mental Defense +50, Mental Strength +50]

[Unlock Feature: Hidden Mode]

[Hidden Mode: Press the switch at your temple to hide the bulletproof helmet without affecting its attributes]

"What kind of characteristic is this?"

Full of doubt, Li Yu tentatively pressed the switch on the temple of the helmet.

The bulletproof helmet instantly became transparent and disappeared, as if there was nothing on its head at all.

Li Yu pressed the switch again, and the helmet reappeared.

"this..."

After trying it, Li Yu really couldn't see any practical effect. Was it just to let others see her face?

"Snap!"

The yellow crystal core in his hand suddenly cracked open with a deep fissure, and then lost its faint yellow light.

"It's absorbed so quickly."

Li Yu looked at the crystal core in his hand, which was now completely useless, and pondered to himself.

This is only the first five levels of the equipment slots, so the cost is relatively low.

If you want to upgrade to a higher level of equipment slots, these few yellow crystals will probably be far from enough.

Recalling the time he had absorbed the surging, immense energy of the awakened beings beneath the city walls, Li Yu couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"The energy inside the crystal core is worlds apart from that of an Awakened One; the difference is simply too great."

I can't exactly become an executioner.

Li Yu took out all the crystal cores and looked down at the largest and brightest dark blue crystal core.

This blue crystal core undoubtedly contains the most energy, and Li Yu still decided to use all of it to upgrade the bow type of his main weapon.

After switching experience targets, Li Yu picked up a yellow crystal core and held it tightly in her hand, continuing the transformation process.

Upgrade successful

Military Dagger LV2: Sharpness +20, Hardness +20, Attack Speed ​​+20

Experience points keep increasing, level three, level four, level five.

Military Dagger LV5: Sharpness +50, Hardness +50, Attack Speed ​​+50

[Unlock Feature: Bleeding]

Bleeding: Wounds that are not healed quickly will continue to bleed, increasing fatigue and weakness.

Li Yu quickly drew the dagger, her movements fluid and swift.

The dagger traced a bright arc in the air, like a streak of light that spun around in an instant, before he easily caught it.

This movement was simply exquisite, like a work of art.

Li Yu couldn't help but marvel, "Could I be a genius?"

Looking at the LV1 dagger in the other small equipment slot, Li Yu shook his head helplessly. He thought he only needed to upgrade one.

But since he had already taken it, he had no choice but to switch his experience to another dagger.

It needs to be upgraded to level five to be effective.

While Li Yu was focused on upgrading his equipment, Fu Xiyao was also doing her best to absorb energy.

The energy within the crystal nucleus is slowly absorbed into the body through the bloodstream.

Fu Xiyao suddenly felt as if her mind had turned into a clear spring, becoming exceptionally clear, and her perception of the surrounding rainwater became more acute.

"This feeling is..."

Fu Xiyao murmured to herself, she could clearly feel that her superpower was undergoing some kind of transformation.

The energy within her body suddenly erupted rapidly, as if she had broken through some insurmountable limitation in one fell swoop.

Her body trembled slightly; her superpowers were undergoing a qualitative leap.

Fu Xiyao suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes sparkling.

"I've reached level two!" Her heart was filled with joy.

She discovered that her ability to perceive things had expanded significantly again, and she could even clearly sense the tiny water droplets condensing in the clouds. This wonderful feeling amazed her.

Moreover, she felt a deep sense that she had established a mysterious and close connection with the rain.

Fu Xiyao slowly closed her eyes, cautiously trying to control her new ability.

The air around the portable house began to become more humid, and tiny water droplets began to condense rapidly.

With a gentle wave of her hand, Fu Xiyao instantly created a white mist around the house, completely enveloping it.

'As expected, they've gained new abilities!'

Fu Xiyao was overjoyed; the thick fog outside seemed like a natural wonder summoned by her.

However, to perceive such a large area of ​​rain at the same time requires an enormous amount of energy, which she cannot keep up with at her current rate of energy absorption.

Fu Xiyao tried it out, and for the time being, there were only two methods.

Either you actively narrow the range of perception, or you can only perceive once every five seconds, with intervals.

Only in this way can the body's energy consumption be maintained and prevented from being overdrawn.

After confirming that she had become a second-tier awakener, Fu Xiyao looked at Li Yu with excitement, only to find that Li Yu was seriously absorbing energy.

He was in a portable house with 100% secrecy, with the perceptive Fu Xiyao beside him.

Li Yu didn't need to be on guard at all and was completely relaxed.

Fu Xiyao suppressed her excitement and did not disturb Li Yu, who was busy absorbing energy.

She simply gazed quietly at Li Yu's face, as if she felt incredibly at ease whenever Li Yu was by her side.

"I'll tell him the good news tomorrow," she thought to herself.

Then he turned around and took out the quilt he had brought and spread it out.

The surface of this quilt is fluffy, and the inside is just as soft. Fu Xiyao couldn't help but roll around on the quilt.

Upgrade successful

Glock 18 Pistol LV2: Effective range 45 meters

[Glock 18 pistol LV3, effective range 40 meters]

[Glock 18 pistol LV4, effective range 35 meters]

[Glock 18 Pistol LV5: Effective range 30 meters, muzzle velocity +50, kinetic energy +50]

Li Yu: "???"

He rubbed his eyes hard, his face full of disbelief.

I glanced at the pistol's continuously shortening range, and it had indeed become 30 meters.

"The range has decreased from 50 meters to only 30 meters. Is this what you call an upgrade?"

If it continues to be upgraded like this, this pistol will probably struggle to even shoot sparrows.

Let's just stop calling it a pistol and start calling it a slingshot.

Immediately afterwards, another attribute popped up.
