"Four Emergency Sprays, each restoring ten Life Value points per second, were fused into one Emergency Spray+2, restoring twenty Life Value points per second. Why do I feel like I’ve lost out?"
Zhang Yanhang felt like he had lost out because Emergency Sprays could be used with no cooldown time. As long as he was quick enough, he could use two or even four Emergency Sprays at the same time; he wasn’t sure whether these sprays might have tolerance issues, though logically, they shouldn’t.
Even if there was some sort of drug tolerance, it wouldn’t matter to Zhang Yanhang in the short term. After all, he had only ever used three Emergency Sprays, which were all during his fight with the Prototype Tyrant; drug tolerance usually requires dozens or even hundreds of doses before it might manifest.
"If that’s all, then maybe I won’t fuse them for now. It doesn’t seem very useful..."
Zhang Yanhang gathered all the items spread on the table into his Waist Bag, having sorted everything from the Treasure Box. It was time to upgrade his skills. He was particularly looking forward to the Additional Attributes of the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil LV.10, "Choose! Skill Level Enhancement!"
[Would you like to enhance the skill level?]
[Option One: ’Gun Master LV.6’ upgrade to ’Gun Master LV.7’ (costs 1600 Soul points).]
[Option Two: ’Fighting Master LV.6’ upgrade to ’Fighting Master LV.7’ (costs 1600 Soul points).]
[Option Three: ’Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil LV.9’ upgrade to ’Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil LV.MAX’ (costs 12800 Soul points).]
[Option Four: ’Technique Immunity LV.MAX’ upgrade to ’???’ (cannot be enhanced)]
[Option Five: ’Limitless Universe Skill LV.MAX’ upgrade to ??? (cannot be enhanced)]
[Option Six: ’Alchemy [Incomplete]’ upgrade to ??? (cannot be enhanced)]
"I choose Option Three, upgrading Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil Skill to LV.MAX." If possible, Zhang Yanhang hoped that the added effects this time would enhance his prophetic abilities or increase the precision of his Perception.
Incidentally, although the Technique Immunity Skill was marked as non-enhanceable, Zhang Yanhang had once inquired about this when he was free.
The Multiple Choice had told him that further upgrades for the Technique Immunity Skill would only be possible at the Second Tier, and since he was still at the First Tier, he simply couldn’t do anything about it even if he wanted to. Latest content published on novelFirｅ.net
After upgrading his skills, Zhang Yanhang immediately checked the Skill Effects of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil LV.MAX.
[Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil LV.MAX (Passive/Active)]
[Passive Effect: Neural Reflex Speed +25.0% (+2.5%)]
[Active Effect: Determines the location of enemies within the Perception Range and predicts their next attack to some extent. Currently, the Perception Range is 2500 (+250) + 25×25 (Intelligence) = 3125 meters (+250 meters). No cooldown, uses a small amount of Physical Strength.]
[Additional Attributes: Skillful—You can now adeptly control Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, freely adjusting the coverage of your Perception and fully mastering the outlines of enemies within your Perception Range.]
[Additional Attributes: Mastery—Your control over Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil has become very proficient, enhancing its Penetration Power. By concentrating, you can perceive colors within your Perception Range.]
"No wonder it’s upgraded to LV.MAX, these added attributes are so strong. I can finally perceive colors." Zhang Yanhang couldn’t wait to activate his Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil Skill to sense his surroundings.
Well, if previously it was like viewing an uncolored 3D model, now it was like a 3D model that had been slightly rendered and finetuned. Even without focusing, Zhang Yanhang could see faint colors through his perception, but they were quite blurred, like a severely faded piece of clothing that had been worn for many years.
When Zhang Yanhang focused more keenly, the colors in his perception immediately became more vivid, although they still couldn’t match what he could see with his eyes.
If described in pixels, Zhang Yanhang had essentially upgraded from a blurry 480p standard definition view to a 720p high definition view. The difference between them could be described best by the saying, "those who know, know", or rather, "worlds apart".
But at the same time, Zhang Yanhang also felt that the consumption of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil had suddenly increased multiple times, prompting him to gradually reduce his Perception Range.
When he reduced it to just cover the nearby three buildings, Zhang Yanhang saw a familiar figure in one of the female dormitories, leisurely sitting on the bed eating takeout, contently savoring fried chicken with soda, in a surprisingly simple manner.
However, Zhang Yanhang’s focus was obviously not on the type of takeout but elsewhere, "Again with the fan design and lace border, if I remember correctly, that’s exactly the same as last time’s, isn’t it?"
But that wasn’t Zhang Yanhang’s main concern either. As he deepened his perception, he identified that this person was suffering not only from mild constipation but also from hypertension and hyperglycemia, with blood significantly thicker than normal.
Other than these, there were no other apparent diseases. Overall, she was just a typically subhealthy young woman found in modern society.
After observing a bunch of useless details, Zhang Yanhang finally began to focus on his true target—the brain of the Awakener, "It’s really completely different from a normal person’s brain..."
According to data provided by the Empire, the brain of an Awakener is key to their having Superpowers, and the differences are quite apparent. The most basic difference is in the color; everyone knows the normal color of a brain, which is somewhat pinkish-white.
However, the brain of an Awakener, like Zhao Yalan’s brain, was purple, constantly pulsing with a strange rhythm, giving it an eerily captivating appearance.
After observing Zhao Yalan’s brain, Zhang Yanhang continued to inspect the brains of other Awakeners in the university and found, after several observations, that they seemed quite different from his own.
Right, the reason he chose to observe the brains of other Awakeners was that he noticed something peculiar about his own brain; it didn’t look like a typical Awakener’s brain.
Normally, an Awakener’s brain is deeply imbued with the color associated with their Superpower, while his own brain was only wrapped in a layer of light blue, similar to the sky, which was just superficial and did not penetrate deep inside like other Awakeners’ brains, making it quite strange.
