CHAPTER 26: CHAPTER 26: THE “PSEUDO” LABEL IS GONE

Yang Yuan glanced at the Power Armor’s experience, then said: "Give me a moment, I need to go to the bathroom."

He stood up and walked towards the distance.

"Damn!"

As soon as he walked out of the cooler’s radiation range, his expression suddenly changed dramatically, and he hurried back.

"What’s wrong?" Zhao Jiayan’s face changed.

"The temperature outside is so high!" Yang Yuan looked shocked: "It’s at least seventy degrees."

"Seventy degrees? How is that possible?!" Zhao Jiayan reached out her hand incredulously to feel it.

Soon, she quickly withdrew her hand as if burned: "So hot! How did the temperature get so high?!"

Jiang Yiyi showed a frightened expression, not daring to try.

"Should we leave quickly?" Zhao Jiayan asked worriedly.

"Don’t rush, let’s follow the plan, with the cooler, we won’t be in trouble."

Yang Yuan said: "No wonder it’s gotten hotter; let me check the temperature range change."

He moved around within the cooler’s radiation range, sensing and said: "Outside the cooler’s two meters range, the temperature is thirty degrees, but inside two meters it’s about twenty-five degrees, within one meter, it’s still fifteen degrees, the cooler’s effect is stronger than I imagined, so we’ll be fine."

"This cooler of yours is truly amazing." Zhao Jiayan exclaimed.

Looking at the eyes of those people leaving the safe area, she couldn’t help but think, if those people knew the three of them had such a comfortable environment, what would they think?

"Wait for me, I’ll be right back, whatever you do, don’t leave the cooler range. If you need to relieve yourselves, solve it on the spot, be careful of burns outside."

Yang Yuan said, hardening his resolve, he walked out of the cooler’s radiation range again, quickly heading into the distance.

He truly needed to relieve himself, even if he couldn’t drink enough water over time, every few days he still needed to release; there was wastewater needing filtering, it couldn’t all be absorbed by the body.

Temperatures of sixty to seventy degrees can already cause burns; even though his physical condition is stronger than ordinary people, his facial skin feels scorching hot.

"Seems like only the face is burning."

He tried pulling down the face shield.

Instantly, the high temperature was isolated.

Though it still felt like being in a furnace, it was at least less unbearable.

Evidently, the original plastic shell armor, after several upgrades, had undergone a qualitative change in material.

Soon, he reached tens of meters away, out of sight of the two women, while relieving himself, he upgraded the Power Armor.

The last upgrade was in the middle of the night; after upgrading, the Power Armor needed almost seven hours before it could upgrade again, now the experience finally filled up.

A light only he could see enveloped the Power Armor, lasting several seconds before fading away.

[Power Armor LV.4: 9/800 (Weak power can now increase the wearer’s speed and flexibility, armor Defense can withstand ordinary sniper bullets, radar maximum radius two hundred meters)]

Finally, level four.

It seems that after items reach level four, a slight qualitative change occurs.

"Finally removed the ’pseudo’ label, so now it’s genuine Power Armor, no longer counterfeit?"

Yang Yuan happily pulled up his pants, eagerly testing the Power Armor’s functions.

First is the radar, now able to scan a two hundred meter radius.

This is already a considerable range, able to alert a region larger than Jiang Yiyi’s ability area.

And this radar can also scan itself.

Through the radar-scanned image, he noticed the Power Armor’s exterior seemed optimized, looking more attractive.

However, since the optimization degree is small, it’s hard to see without careful examination, unless possessing a photographic memory, capable of remembering every detail clearly.

Furthermore, the thrust of the light particle engine on the limbs is at least twenty kilograms.

Combined with his own strength, movement speed can be faster, and more agile.

Of course, the so-called power of the Power Armor is not referring to this thrust, but the power at the joint parts, the power of these parts is similar; with power activated, he can lift more things, bearing strength stronger.

The last point, also currently very important, after closing the helmet, there seems to be a temperature adjustment system (air conditioning) inside, keeping him from overheating too much, with enhanced thermal insulation capability.

This improvement is very beneficial; otherwise, wearing this thing would cause profuse sweating, making it uncomfortable.

Of course, Defense is indispensable.

In fact, Defense was his initial need, worried about being shot from the dark, he thought of customizing Power Armor.

Now, this Power Armor can finally defend against sniper bullets.

Even if it’s just the most ordinary sniper bullets.

With one more upgrade, perhaps it can even defend against Armor-Piercing bullets.

With the grade elevated, no longer needing to worry about being sneaked upon or shot from behind, he can wholeheartedly focus on sniping others openly.

"Speaking of, is the energy of the Spirit Monster Core used up? It’s been so long."

Yang Yuan opened the chest Energy Slot, took out the Spirit Monster Core, surprisingly found it still contained substantial energy.

Moreover, the energy contained in this Spirit Monster Core is several times stronger than ordinary Spirit Monster Cores.

"Did the energy core upgrade during the upgrade? Is my ability assessing the Spirit Monster Core acting as the battery as part of the Power Armor?"

His eyes lit up, does this mean he won’t have to worry about the Power Armor’s energy issue anymore?

This is definitely good news.

He reinstalled this special Spirit Monster Core into the Energy Slot, waited a few minutes here, then returned to the cooler’s radiation range, continuing to assemble the previously crafted parts into crossbows for experience points.

Since these parts only added burden, he decided to discard them after brushing experience points.

Anyway, he already tested previously, crafted items with gained experience, even if destroyed, won’t reduce his experience.

Those items seem to be just by-products, not too closely related to his abilities.

"Outside is indeed super hot, like a furnace, no wonder those strange beasts coalesced into a beast tide before, migrating massively!"

As Yang Yuan assembled crossbows, he asked: "After coming to this world, have you encountered a beast tide?"

"No." Zhao Jiayan realized: "Turns out, beast tides are generated this way; indeed, such high temperature environments make even powerful beasts uncomfortable despite surviving."

After spending over ten minutes, Yang Yuan finally used up the previously crafted parts, assembling a total of ten roughly made crossbows, gaining ten experience points, nowhere near enough to level up.

The speed is unbearably slow, making him instinctively recall last night’s assembly speed of coolers in the safe area.

’If there’s a chance, work in the safe area for experience, or if a Superpower User with shaping abilities as a companion could be found, that’d be great.’

Yang Yuan thought, but such ability users are likely in the safe area, under military control.

’However, orders for cooler parts from the safe area are also feasible, assembling personally. Parts should be cheaper; bulk ordering definitely cheaper, and perhaps upgrade these coolers, eventually transforming a region’s climate?’

Thinking of these, he reattached the portable Safe House box on his back, holding a gun in one hand, lifting Jiang Yiyi with the other, said to Zhao Jiayan: "Let’s go; try staying with the large group, safer with them clearing the path ahead."
