As for Yang Shen, he didn't immediately return to his residence. After walking about twenty meters from the guardhouse, he stopped in a safe spot and looked at the data on his miniature pistol:
LV0:55 (Upgradeable)
"It's already five o'clock..."
Yang Shen guessed, "If we assume one person provides one point of experience, then it would only be two points, unless the cleaver also gains another point of experience!"
Only in this way, combined with the remaining experience, can we have five points.
In other words, even if it's the same item, after it's upgraded, you can still gain experience from the same person!
This is great news.
"Just enough to upgrade the pistol!"
Without hesitation, Yang Shen sent out a flash of white light.
As before, the moment the white light appeared, a strange energy flowed from the pistol to Yang Shen's entire body, strengthening his limbs and bones.
This improvement was much more significant than before; he could clearly feel his physique becoming stronger and his strength increasing.
About ten seconds later, the white light dissipated, and the enhancement of oneself was completed.
Yang Shen sensed it and couldn't be sure about the improvement in his physique, but his strength should have increased by about five kilograms.
Don't underestimate five kilograms; for the average person, a five-kilogram increase in strength is quite significant.
This relates to physical fitness and strength. Yang Shen felt that his flexibility and nerve reflexes also seemed to have improved.
This enhancement seems to be all-encompassing, but it is difficult to detect in terms of neural responses unless there is a significant improvement or a specific test is conducted.
As long as he continues to strengthen himself in this way, Yang Shen believes that he will definitely become stronger and stronger.
At this moment, Yang Shen looked at the steel needle pistol and indeed found that it had changed.
First, there's the change in appearance; it looks more refined, like a work of art.
Secondly, the weight has increased by about double, but the size has not changed.
"It looks like the materials have been enhanced; hopefully, it will be even more powerful!"
Yang Shen took out the 'magazine', preparing to check if there was any change in the embroidery needles inside.
However, after removing the magazine, they were surprised to find that the magazine was different.
The magazine, which originally had only one magazine slot, has now been expanded to have five magazine slots.
Each slot is independent yet interconnected.
These grooves are not simple grooves; they contain tiny, elastic steel sheets that ensure that once the front is empty, the steel needles behind will be squeezed to fill the gap.
"This means... it can hold five steel needles?"
Yang Shen was overjoyed, not expecting that this upgrade was not only an upgrade of materials, but also an upgrade of the structure of the item.
This is definitely good news, because structural upgrades can make items more technologically advanced and perform better.
As for the embroidery needles that Yang Shen had put in earlier, there were some changes, but only in terms of materials. They became harder and the needle tips became sharper.
It's basically just iron turning into steel, nothing more.
"See its power!"
This is what Yang Shen cares about most. In a post-apocalyptic environment, no matter how beautiful something is, if it has no combat power, it is just trash, or rather, a luxury.
Only those who survive are entitled to enjoy those luxuries.
Yang Shen pointed the gun at a tree five meters away and pressed the fire button.
"call out--"
A slight recoil was generated, followed by a faint whooshing sound, but it was completely invisible to the naked eye.
After the sound was heard, Yang Shen hurriedly went over to check and found that the steel needle had completely penetrated into the tree trunk, leaving a small hole.
"The power has indeed increased!" Yang Shen exclaimed with delight.
Modern miniature pistols are probably capable of harming infected individuals; if they hit vital points like the forehead, they could likely kill instantly.
"If this is upgraded again, its power will probably increase even further, at least comparable to a real pistol!"
Thinking of this, Yang Shen immediately looked at the data of the steel needle pistol:
LV1:050
"It actually requires fifty experience points?" Yang Shen frowned slightly, because there were almost no people around, or they had all hidden in basements or other places.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone half a month without seeing a single living person.
His experience in leveling up, if nothing unexpected happens, comes from what others 'know' about him.
Without a population base, experience cannot be gained.
"By the way, those two said they came from the east of the city. There should be a lot of people in the east of the city, right?"
Yang Shen's eyes lit up. He felt it was necessary to explore the east of the city. His special ability meant he couldn't remain unknown.
At this moment, Yang Shen suddenly remembered a book he had read before the apocalypse. The protagonist in the book could discern the attributes of all things from all things. So the protagonist integrated the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind into an object, causing a world to evolve inside that object.
Thinking of this, he immediately thought of his own special ability.
One's special ability can upgrade items, not only the materials, but also the structure.
If we continue to upgrade, will it create special features?
If I were to combine the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind together and then upgrade them, would I be able to create a small world?
The only difficulty, however, is that his ability can only change the structure of tangible matter, but cannot modify wind and fire...
"Wait, earth, fire, water, and wind are Western world-building legends, but the East also has its own legends. In Eastern legends, the world is composed of the five basic elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth..."
"If I combine these five elements and then upgrade them, is there any hope?"
