Enhancement, Part Four

At this moment, hearing Yu Hong's self-introduction, the bearded man nodded.

"I'm Zhou Kaiming, just call me Old Zhou. I know a little bit of everything, feel free to ask me if you need anything. The price is negotiable."

"Alright." Yu Hong nodded, maintaining a distance from him, then turned his gaze to Li Runshan.

"Brother Li, what about the supply team?"

"They left. They left more than half an hour ago." Li Runshan smiled. "They can travel overnight, arriving just as dawn breaks."

Seeing Yu Hong's slight disappointment, a hint of cunning flashed across his smile.

"Don't worry, I remember you mentioning last time that you needed a set of bulletproof suit. I kept an eye out for you and just got a Gray Lizard Set in stock, complete with helmet, gloves, and boots. Do you want it?"

"Oh? Really?" Yu Hong asked in surprise.

"Of course, it's true. There's no benefit in lying to you." Li Runshan nodded. "The price is twenty Silver Coins, but if you don't have Silver Coins, you can use other hard currency to offset it. Like your Large Glowstone, it's quite useful. I went to the Mine a couple of days ago, and there were too many Eerie Shadows outside. I relied entirely on your Large Glowstone to break through. The only downside is that it's consumed a bit quickly."

"That's for sure, but compared to the previous bagged ordinary Glowstone, carrying a bag at a time, isn't the weight much lighter?" Yu Hong smiled. He didn't care what the other party did in the Mine, but as long as there was demand, he had room for exchange.

"That's for sure, but you need to protect your technique. Making Large Glowstone similar to Glowstone Marrow from ordinary Glowstone has a considerable profit margin. If it gets out, many people will want to get their hands on it. If you want to sell this technique, you can consider me first. I'll definitely give you the highest price!" Li Runshan smiled.

"Indeed, this kind of technology is a cash cow even in small places, but Hope City also has similar synthesis and refining technology, refining high-purity Glowstone." Old Zhou couldn't help but add from the side. "A friend I used to drink with showed me before. He used to be a Patrol Captain in Aurora City, with dozens of people under him, managing a district with such a refining plant."

"Can that be the same? Xiao Yu can do it all by himself." Li Runshan shook his head. He then looked at Yu Hong again, "Enough about that, want to see the goods?" He turned and walked towards the Stone House.

"Okay." Yu Hong nodded. He kept his distance, walked to the Stone House fence, and stood there like Old Zhou.

"Speaking of bulletproof vests, I have a spare one. It's a bit old and used, but otherwise it's fine. It's also a Gray Lizard Set, do you want it?" Old Zhou suddenly lowered his voice and asked.

"???" Yu Hong looked blank, before he could reply, he saw Li Runshan rush out of the Stone House.

"Old Zhou, what do you mean? Stealing my business?" The smile on his face slowly disappeared, holding a thick Camouflage Uniform in his hand. The camouflage of this uniform was different from theirs.

Their uniforms were mainly dark green and black, while this uniform was mainly yellow and gray-black. It also came with a pair of boots, a helmet, and a mask.

"Mine is fully armed, a complete new set, even with a filter mask, much better than your old one." Li Runshan walked closer, picked up the set, and showed Yu Hong the front and back.

"In the level five bulletproof rating, the Gray Lizard Set is level four, considered mid-range quality. It has extremely high protection against splash fragments and can protect against most common Handgun bullets on the market. It also comes with high-strength ceramic plates, alloy plates, and other protective designs. It can also be used as an Anti-Stab Suit."

He quickly introduced.

"Of course, if you get shot at close range, what you need to worry about isn't whether it can protect you, but whether the huge impact of the bullet will cause you to break a bone or suffer internal injuries."

"What's the price?" Yu Hong quickly asked. This set was indeed very good. If he could strengthen it after getting it, it would definitely be much better than the Anti-Stab Suit he was wearing! He was already tempted.

"If you use Large Glowstone to exchange, I'll give you a price of fifty." Li Runshan held out a palm.

"Fifty!?" Yu Hong's expression changed slightly. Although he guessed it would be expensive, he didn't expect it to be so expensive. Unless he spent all his time making Large Glowstone, how long would it take to make fifty?

"I designed a kind of Glowstone powder Symbol Array on a wooden board, the effect is better than Large Glowstone, can it be used for trading?" Yu Hong quickly said.

"If the effect is really better than Large Glowstone, of course." Li Runshan's eyes lit up. What he liked most was dealing with this kind of research and development talent. These people could always come up with some unexpected surprises.

In his opinion, Yu Hong in front of him was this kind of person. Moreover, the other party's identity was definitely not ordinary. Being able to take out that kind of finely processed Protein Bar, he probably had an organization and power behind him, just like him. Maybe he was also a researcher hiding his identity to be stationed here.

Yu Hong quickly took out an ordinary Symbol Array wooden board and handed it to the other party.

"This is a sample I carry with me; you can take it to test. We can also trade tomorrow."

"No problem." Li Runshan took the Symbol Array wooden board, a smile on his lips, clearly in a good mood.

After that, Yu Hong had nothing to do, so he bought some more fresh mushrooms and returned to the Safe House Mountain Cave to exercise.

Exercise, dig, rest. By noon, the enhanced boots were finally completed.

Inside the Mountain Cave.

A pair of brand-new black hard-leather men's long boots were quietly placed in front of Yu Hong, lying on the wooden table.

He reached out and picked up the boots, pinching and patting them, when suddenly, a crisp sound rang out.

Chih! A black spike suddenly popped out from the bottom of the boot, pointing forward from the toe.

The spike was triangular, with a blood groove in the middle, and the tip was extremely sharp, flashing a faint cold light.

Yu Hong nodded in satisfaction and pressed a switch, causing the spike to retract.

He put the boots on the ground, took off his previous boots, and put them on.

Then he stood up and moved around.

'They fit perfectly, and there are ventilation holes on the surface. They're not suitable for rainy days, but that's okay; I can add a layer of covering.'

Suddenly, he pushed his toes forward and pressed down.

Chih! Two spikes popped out simultaneously.

Then, he pressed his toes down on the ground, and the spikes slowly retracted.

Seeing this, Yu Hong smiled with satisfaction.

'Next is the Gray Lizard Set. If I can get it, I'll be fully protected, and I won't have to worry too much even about Handguns.'

Wearing the new boots, he left the Mountain Cave and kicked the nearest big tree.

Chih! The surface of the tree was easily pierced, leaving a hole.

'So sharp!'

Yu Hong became interested and began to test the power of the spikes casually.

He kicked the ground, and a hole appeared.

He kicked a stone, and a hole appeared in the stone.

He kicked branches and leaves, and they were easily cut and sliced.

'Whether it's sharpness or piercing power, it's very good. So, let's try using Cool Energy, or Internal Energy, to amplify it and see.'

Thinking of this, he returned to the Mountain Cave to rest quietly. After two hours, when he had recovered two strands of Cool Energy, he stood up again, wearing the spiked boots, and came outside.

Standing in front of a large tree, Yu Hong concentrated and calmed his breath, his legs rooted to the ground, standing still.

Circulating energy.

Gathering strength.

Leg strike!

Suddenly, Yu Hong's right leg was like a spring, lashing out and hitting the tree trunk squarely.

Bang! The rough, black bark of the tree trunk exploded, sending out a large amount of bark and wood fragments.

This was completely different from kicking the tree before. Previously, it was just piercing a hole, but now, after the spike pierced in, it triggered a small-scale explosion.

Is this the power of the cool air? Yu Hong pulled out his leg and carefully examined the spike.

Only after confirming that the edge of the spike was not bent or damaged did he feel relieved.

"The power is great. With a sneak attack, it can basically determine the outcome in an instant if the enemy is caught off guard."

Standing in the open space, he began to practice his leg techniques again.

This time, without using the cool air, he slowly, vaguely felt a trace of heat flowing from his legs, gathering upwards, and flowing throughout his body.

When visualizing the training diagram, the traces of this heat flow were even more obvious, as if it was nourishing his entire body.

After practicing his leg techniques for a while, he started digging pits again.

When it got dark in the evening, after eating dinner, Yu Hong leisurely sat down by the fireplace to rest.

He picked up a bag of Dried Mushroom, ready to open it and chew on it, as a supplement of trace elements.

Wait!

Suddenly, he remembered that he had never Limit Enhanced Dried Mushroom before.

Not only Dried Mushroom, but even Dried Wild Vegetables, perhaps he could try them too.

"I can try to see what the maximum enhancement can be."

The success of the leg technique filled Yu Hong's heart with anticipation for the future.

He was about to use the Black Mark to enhance the Gray Lizard Set, which was estimated to take a long time. So he decided to find something with a short enhancement time.

Picking up a bag of Dried Mushroom, he opened it and saw that it was full of Cattle Leg Mushroom with black caps and yellow stems. The rich, oily aroma wafted out, giving people a sense of security.

Yu Hong reached out and pressed his hand on the bag of Dried Mushroom.

Enhance Dried Mushroom to the limit. The direction is... Yu Hong's mind instantly flashed with images of various Ganoderma, and spiritual medicines.

Enhance Dried Mushroom? The Black Mark was very considerate and did not directly cut him off.

But then Yu Hong looked at the countdown that appeared.

12 days, 16 hours, 32 minutes.

His heart instantly turned cold, and he quickly let go of his hand, changed an item, and pressed it on the Dried Wild Vegetables.

Enhance Wild Vegetables to the limit, the direction is Multivitamin Tablet supplementation.

This time, the Black Mark's feedback was still very normal, and the countdown quickly appeared.

3 hours, 51 minutes.

"This time is worth waiting for, hopefully it can be enhanced into something useful."

He put down the wild vegetable bag and took off his boots. Immediately, a stench of feet filled the cave, making him cover his nose.

"If the socks can be strengthened to absorb sweat, prevent odor, and inhibit bacteria in the future, it would be great to avoid getting fungal athlete's foot or similar diseases."

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Yu Hong came to the wild vegetable bag again, and what appeared in his eyes was a square paper box only the size of a palm.

The surface of the paper box was printed with: Multivitamin Tablet (200 tablets).

He picked up the box, and there was a rustling sound inside, as if many pills were packed in it.

Opening the box, there was a wooden round bottle inside.

Taking out the bottle, he unscrewed the lid and poured out a pill.

The pill was dark green, covered with white and black spots, and smelled of light grass.

Yu Hong picked up the bottle and looked at the back. He saw the following written on it: Multivitamin Grass Tablets can supplement the cellulose and various trace elements needed by the human body, ensure the acid-base balance of the human body, moisten the intestines and relieve constipation, prevent various vitamin deficiencies, and have a good effect on osteoporosis in middle-aged and elderly people. Note: Take one tablet each time, once a day, to meet the needs of adult males in normal condition.

'This is really good??' Yu Hong was speechless. In this way, wouldn't he have another product to sell? These two hundred grass tablets are enough for one person to eat for more than half a year!
