Chapter 9: Peerless Lion Flying Head Fist!
With a Lho-stick, Zhou Yun squeezed into this small shack belonging to Hive City workers.
This shack was built by the Hive City workers themselves in the gap between two buildings, so narrow that the internal space was only two people wide.
The Hive City worker who lent the shack to Zhou Yun left the house alone after pointing out the location of Zhou Yun's bedroom, saying he was going to a friend's house for the night.
Zhou Yun climbed the ladder in the middle of the house to the small bed on the second floor.
He still needed to make some preparations before entering Old Sector Eight.
Zhou Yun took out the two items he possessed from his Fourth-Dimensional Pocket.
The Ring of Passage, which could penetrate walls and help Zhou Yun explore enclosed areas.
The Air Gun Potion, which, when dripped onto a finger, could shoot out an invisible shockwave.
For a long time, Zhou Yun had relied on these two items to survive in the lower levels.
But the Genestealer he encountered during his last exploration of the Abandoned Hive Area had awakened his vigilance.
He felt it was time to exchange for a few more items.
He looked into his Fourth-Dimensional Pocket and connected to the Future Department Store.
Zhou Yun picked out a few practical items he could afford to exchange for at the moment.
[Item Name: Psykana Cap] [Origin: 22nd Century Earth - Future Department Store] [Production Time: 261.M3] [Function: A hat with a hand on top. After wearing this hat, you can use three abilities: X-ray vision, telekinesis, and teleportation. However, they are not easy to use and require a period of practice, and they consume a lot of energy.] "Price: 130,000"
[Item Name: Body Clay] [Origin: 22nd Century Earth - Future Department Store] [Production Time: 255.M3] [Function: A type of clay that can be freely shaped. As long as it is smeared on a person's body, it can form various shapes and also has a certain protective ability.] "Price: 60,000"
[Item Name: Famous Sword. Lightning Pellet] [Origin: 22nd Century Earth - Future Department Store] [Production Time: 255.M3] [Function: Shaped like a katana, it can theoretically catch all of the opponent's swordsmanship, and the user will never lose in a swordsmanship competition. However, it can hardly cause any damage itself, at most it can only knock out enemies, and its electricity is limited. Once the electricity is depleted, it cannot be used for a period of time.]
Looking at these three items, Zhou Yun fell into thought.
The Famous Sword. Lightning Pellet was clearly the one with the highest potential. Theoretically, as long as he held this sword, Zhou Yun would possess top-tier swordsmanship and would not lose in any sword-related battle before it ran out of power.
Even if he faced Lucius, the famous swordsman among the Sons of the Emperor, he could exchange a few blows with this sword.
However, in terms of current practicality, it was inferior to the Psykana Cap.
This hat would allow Zhou Yun to possess X-ray vision, teleportation, and telekinesis simultaneously, essentially granting Zhou Yun powers similar to Psykana.
Moreover, these three abilities could improve to a certain extent as Zhou Yun practiced.
Finally, there was the Body Clay. This item could provide Zhou Yun with a certain degree of protection. But most importantly, it could be used to change his appearance and physique, allowing him to act incognito.
This way, he wouldn't have to worry about being resented by any cults, gangs, or mutants.
Zhou Yun sighed. The Famous Sword. Lightning Pellet indeed had a very high ceiling, almost a conceptual divine weapon.
But the problem was that its battery life was also a mystical issue. In Zhou Yun's memory, this thing often ran out of power at fixed times, and the sword itself lacked lethality, and its durability was also questionable.
It was indeed more practical to get the Psykana Cap and Body Clay.
"Your ordered Psykana Cap and Body Clay have been shipped." "Your ordered Psykana Cap and Body Clay have arrived, please sign for them."
Seeing his savings reduced to almost nothing, Zhou Yun's eye twitched slightly.
He could only hope that his exploration of Old Sector Eight this time would bring him substantial rewards.
Zhou Yun took out these two newly exchanged items from his Fourth-Dimensional Pocket.
The Body Clay was a pile of grayish-green clay contained in a cylindrical can with a diameter of 1.5 meters, while the Psykana Cap was a hat with a white right hand on top.
Zhou Yun took some clay from the can and experimentally applied it to his skin.
The moment the grayish-green clay touched Zhou Yun's skin, it turned a color similar to his own skin and covered it, as if a tumor had grown on Zhou Yun's body.
He tried to spread the clay all over his body, slowly molding it into the shape of muscles.
Before long, Zhou Yun, who originally had a normal human physique, had transformed into a hulking figure over two meters tall with well-developed muscles.
With such a physique, if he were to don a suit of Power Armor, he might be mistaken for one of the Emperor's muscle-bound brothers—no, one of the Emperor's Death Angels.
But after swinging his arms a few times, Zhou Yun confirmed that the muscles sculpted from clay were all show and no substance.
"You're too old to become an Astartes," the winged figure in the white light said, shaking its head.
Zhou Yun nodded in agreement.
The vast majority of Chapters chose boys between ten and fourteen, at the latest before sixteen, to implant gene-seed during puberty.
After eighteen, the mortality rate for gene-seed implantation became very high, making success almost impossible.
Even Khol Faren, the adopted father of Lorgar's Primarch, had only barely managed to keep up with ordinary Space Marines through extensive flawed bionic modifications and chemical drugs.
And subsequent events proved that making him a Space Marine was a mistake.
Zhou Yun shook his head, removed some of the clay muscles from his body, and returned his height to that of an ordinary person.
Then he smeared the clay onto his face, sculpting a different appearance for himself.
It was a European face with thick, dark golden hair and a dense beard, resembling a mighty lion, with eyes as deep as if forged from the darkest depths of a forest.
"?"
A giant golden question mark appeared above the head of the winged figure in the white light.
"Lion El'Jonson?" the winged figure's voice became somewhat sharp. "You sculpted Lion El'Jonson's face?"
"What, you can be an Archangel, and I can't be the Lion King?"
Zhou Yun touched the lion-like face he had sculpted in imitation of the First Legion's Primarch, Lion El'Jonson, and nodded with satisfaction.
He swung his enlarged fists, muttering things like "Peerless Lion Flying Head Fist!" "The First Legion has no secrets!" "I should have been the Emperor's Warmaster!" "Or even Russ!"
The winged figure in the white light fell silent. After a long pause, he finally couldn't help but say, "I'm already considering reporting you to the Dark Angels."
"Perhaps I should also report you to the Space Wolves."
I must play Space Marine 2 immediately!
