[Unlock Trait: Melee Bonus]
[Melee Bonus: The closer the target, the greater the damage dealt]
"That's it?" Li Yu didn't seem particularly satisfied with this feature.
He can get people close to his face even with a bow and arrow. I can't imagine how strong the opponent must be. Would such a master be afraid of a small pistol?
Since it's already been upgraded, I'll just make do with it for now. If it really doesn't work, I'll replace it.
"Click".
The crystal core in Li Yu's hand cracked again.
After consuming two yellow crystal cores, these new equipment slots were finally upgraded to level five.
Li Yu breathed a long sigh of relief. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Fu Xiyao rolling around happily on the quilt.
"Why are you so happy?" Li Yun could clearly sense the joy in her heart.
Fu Xiyao quickly sat up, her face slightly flushed: "It's nothing..."
"I think I just became a second-tier Awakener." She couldn't wait until tomorrow and couldn't contain her excitement, so she immediately told Li Yu the good news.
Li Yu smiled and took Fu Xiyao's hand, carefully sensing her energy fluctuations.
'Mmm, soft and fluffy.'
'No, it's that the energy level has indeed increased significantly compared to before.'
However, these improvements were hardly noticeable compared to those aggressive Awakened Ones.
“That’s right, you are indeed a second-tier Awakened.” Li Yu nodded slightly and continued:
"Here's a beast core as a reward."
Fu Xiyao's small mouth immediately pursed.
Li Yu looked outside; it was already late.
Then he pointed to the small-sized tactical uniform: "Try it on and see if it fits. If it doesn't, I'll go exchange it tomorrow."
Fu Xiyao took off her camouflage uniform and was about to try it on when Li Yu pounced on her.
Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and rain poured down.
......
The next day, the two were full of energy.
Fu Xiyao finally put on her tactical uniform.
Then, at Li Yu's insistence, she put on a bulletproof vest and a bulletproof helmet, becoming fully armed.
Li Yu only agreed to let Fu Xiyao take the helmet with her when she felt a bit stuffy wearing it.
Even so, Li Yu still gave him some instructions:
"Put it on immediately if you encounter danger, understand?"
"Mmm." Fu Xiyao nodded vigorously, feeling like she had become a child again.
Li Yu packed up all the weapons and equipment, folded up the house, put his arm around Fu Xiyao's waist, and rode Xiao Hei back to Qingcheng.
Inside the underground laboratory in Qingcheng.
A member of the Lu family was tightly bound to the stage and struggled desperately.
He used to be a high-ranking leader in Qingcheng, but now he has become a pitiful test subject.
"Waaah—"
His eyes were filled with fear as he stared at Lu Fan standing beside him, making muffled noises but unable to utter a complete sentence.
"Zhou Xu, you need to proceed with the fusion slowly each day, and you must know your limits. Don't let anyone die, understand?"
Lu Fan took out the blue marble that had imprisoned Lu Qinglin and spoke softly.
"Our main goal is to completely cure his illness, not to torture him."
Looking at the contorted and struggling body on the stage, Lu Fan finally showed a satisfied smile.
"I'll be coming down to visit anytime."
"Yes, it definitely won't kill me, I promise!" Zhou Xu's face was full of terror.
Seeing Zhou Xu's frightened expression, Lu Fan comforted him, "Don't be afraid."
"You've done a good job this year, and the alien beast genes have basically been successfully fused."
"When there are no experiments, you often talk to me, which is much better than those heartless bastards from the Lu family."
"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master," Zhou Xu said cautiously, thanking him repeatedly.
Zhou Xu only spoke to Lu Fan frequently during the experiment because he felt sorry for his background and upbringing after hearing about Lu Fan's tragic experiences.
Unexpectedly, this very reason has now saved my life.
Otherwise, given how he kept fusing alien beast genes into Lu Fan, he would probably be dead by now.
Lu Fan's gaze swept over Zhou Xu from head to toe. He could clearly sense Zhou Xu's fear and submissiveness, which pleased him greatly.
"There are too many participants in the experiment, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of it from now on. The process for this experiment will probably take a long time."
"I will definitely not let you down." Zhou Xu's voice was filled with deep gratitude.
Lu Fan nodded, indicating his approval.
Zhou Xu finally felt relieved, knowing that he was safe for the time being.
But Zhou Xu also knew that his life was still hanging by a thread.
He must be even more careful and cannot afford to make the slightest mistake.
Lu Fan turned around and looked again at the struggling Lu family members on the stage, a cold glint flashing in his eyes:
"This person is terminally ill."
"However, I have called the best Awakened Doctor in Qingcheng. He will ensure the health of these test subjects from now on, so you can rest assured about the wounds caused during the experiment."
After Lu Fan finished speaking, a person wearing a neat white coat slowly walked over, looking at the people on the stage with excited eyes.
Clearly, he was the 'doctor' Lu Fan had mentioned who could treat patients' wounds.
"Let me remind you again, our goal is treatment. We must keep them conscious throughout the experiment, otherwise the treatment effect will be greatly reduced." Lu Fan said, patting Zhou Xu on the shoulder.
Zhou Xu nodded quickly: "Yes, Young Master Lu Fan, I understand. I will make sure that every step of the experiment meets your requirements."
