"System, activate the psionic analysis module and absorb the energy of the Azure Core!" Lu Zhaoming silently recited in his mind.
The system immediately activated the psionic analysis module and began absorbing the energy from the Azure Core.
However, things did not develop as Lu Zhaoming had imagined.
"Warning! Energy absorption failed! Instead, it triggered a new round of system upgrade prompts!" The system notification sounded.
"Upgrade?" Lu Zhaoming was taken aback; this plot development was somewhat unexpected.
"Accept the upgrade?" the system asked.
"What are the benefits of upgrading?" Lu Zhaoming asked.
"Upgrade will unlock the 'Special Ability Amplification Module,' which can enhance the host's physical attributes and temporarily boost the special ability effects of nearby allies," the system replied.
Lu Zhaoming's eyes lit up. This ability amplification module was practically tailor-made for him!
“Accept the upgrade!” Lu Zhaoming said without hesitation.
"Upgrade in progress! Estimated time: five minutes..." the system notification announced.
Lu Zhaoming took a deep breath and began to wait for the upgrade to complete.
Time passed second by second, and Lu Zhaoming felt his body filled with power, as if he had been reborn.
"Upgrade complete! Congratulations, host, you have successfully unlocked the 'Special Ability Amplification Module'!" The system notification sounded.
Lu Zhaoming clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him, and a confident smile appeared on his face.
With this power amplification module, he was more confident in dealing with Black Crow and solving the problem of the Azure Core.
However, just as Lu Zhaoming completed his upgrade, bad news arrived... Just when Lu Zhaoming felt that he had mastered his divine skills and was about to enter the mode of a protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel, reality slapped him hard in the face.
Outside the safe house, flames soared into the sky, and explosions echoed one after another, much like setting off firecrackers during the Lunar New Year. However, these firecrackers were a bit too powerful, blowing the iron door of the safe house to rubble.
Black Crow led the way, charging in with a group of men in black. The high-precision weapons in their hands gleamed coldly, making it clear that they were not to be trifled with.
This setup looks like they're filming "Fast & Furious: Wasteland Rush".
Even worse, that damned crack suddenly became incredibly energized, its eerie blue light becoming even more blinding, making people dizzy.
It feels like you're about to play PUBG, and then your computer suddenly crashes with a blue screen.
Lu Zhaoming's heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
Before he could react, he heard Su Li cry out in terror, "Oh no! That light... it seems... to be breathing!" Lu Zhaoming turned around abruptly and saw that the eerie blue light was indeed breathing, its brightness changing, its intensity shifting, sending chills down his spine.
What the hell is this thing?
Could it be that the legendary alien creature is about to hatch?
Lu Zhaoming clenched his fists subconsciously, his palms sweating profusely.
He felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if the air itself had frozen.
Suddenly, a deep roar came from the crack, like the roar of an ancient beast, deafening.
"This..." Lu Zhaoming swallowed hard, his heart pounding, feeling like he was about to suffocate.
"It...it's coming out!" Su Li's voice trembled, as if she was trying her best to suppress the fear in her heart.
Lu Zhaoming turned to look at Su Li and found her face pale and her lips bloodless. "We..." Lu Zhaoming was about to say something when he was interrupted by a piercing alarm.
"Warning! Abnormal fluctuations in the Azure Core Energy! It's about to spiral out of control!" The system's notification was urgent and shrill, like a death knell.
Lu Zhaoming's heart sank to the bottom.
Oh no, Barbie Q is gone.
Just then, Black Crow's voice came from the doorway: "Lu Zhaoming, long time no see."
