Purchasing Equipment, Body Experiment

After forcing down the last of the food, Chu Yunyi felt incredibly sick of it.

He wouldn't be full, of course.

But the repetitive taste and greasiness were overwhelming. Chu Yunyi even felt like gnawing on a patch of greenery to cut through the oiliness.

Next.

Chu Yunyi repeated the cycle of hunting and eating.

This continued for three hours.

Three hours later.

Chu Yunyi took out his mobile personal terminal and found that the Credit Points displayed on it had reached a certain amount.

These Credit Points were more than enough to use.

He squeezed the flesh on his body.

Chu Yunyi found it terrifyingly firm, like a body tempered a thousand times.

If he hadn't been squeezing it himself, he doubted an ordinary person could even budge him.

It wasn't just his strength that had increased.

His muscle density and overall body weight had likely increased significantly as well.

Chu Yunyi mused that if this body developed to its extreme, would it be like Homelander, rather than Superman?

Although their abilities were similar, there was a world of difference between them.

Superman could lift airplanes, even carrying them for a short distance.

But Homelander, lifting an airplane, would be like using a toothpick to lift tofu, piercing straight through it. After all, the points of force and density were not on the same level.

Superman existed in film and television works, with a large part of his existence supported by unscientific elements, such as biological fields or the like.

And if Chu Yunyi's development went too far, he might end up like Homelander.

Wanting to lift a car with one hand would likely only result in crushing a corner of the vehicle, or being lifted along with it.

However...

"It doesn't matter."

"I'll awaken new abilities later anyway, maybe something like a biological field."

Chu Yunyi shrugged, completely unconcerned, and turned to leave.

With a casual wave of his hand.

He opened NO.15 [Portable Space], twisted the doorknob inside, and used NO.1 [Void Door].

As a transfer point.

Chu Yunyi instantly arrived at Old Jin's shop.

Without a word, Chu Yunyi walked directly up to the lazily lounging Old Jin.

Slap.

His mobile personal terminal was placed directly on the table.

"What, you're giving up already?"

"I really overestimated you."

Old Jin sighed, his eyes sweeping over the mobile personal terminal slapped onto the table.

Suddenly.

Old Jin froze. He subconsciously looked at the displayed characters again.

"Over twenty thousand points?"

"What the hell did you do? Did you go grave-robbing the Supernet!?" Old Jin exclaimed in surprise.

But the artificial skin on his face made it difficult to express complex emotions.

Listening to Old Jin's words.

Through NO.6 [Words of All Spirits], Chu Yunyi understood what he meant by the Supernet. It was likely the entire network server of the Night Star, divided into thirty-six sectors.

The virtual currency of each city circulated in its corresponding sector.

The meaning of "grave-robbing the Supernet" was similar to "robbing a bank" on Blue Star.

"I still need a set of skin and a knife."

"You pick them out." Chu Yunyi's expression remained unchanged as he stated his request directly.

Hearing this, Old Jin's expression shifted again, fearing that the Credit Points were ill-gotten and that the network supervisors would come after him.

But after Old Jin checked the terminal's records, he was stunned again.

"This... How is this even possible!?"

"To have hunted so many Aberrations in just a few hours!"

"How did you do it? Even if they lined up and let you kill them, you wouldn't be able to kill them all!" Old Jin's eyes widened, bulging out quite a bit.

Looking at the prosthetic eye that was about to pop out, Old Jin pushed it back in.

"I just killed them."

"They were all so slow, no challenge at all." Chu Yunyi waved his hand, signaling Old Jin to stop rambling and get him what he wanted quickly.

It sounded simple.

But Chu Yunyi had been injured during the fight, almost spilling his guts.

Fortunately, he managed to stuff them back in time.

Afterward, relying on NO.17 [Rapid Recovery] and eating some Aberration meat that had been turned into grilled chops, his wounds were completely healed.

Later on.

It seemed to be the effect of NO.12 [Fighting Saint Body]; the damage the Aberrations dealt to him became smaller and smaller.

And then, it was just a slaughter.

After all, his reaction speed and strength had improved too much.

Chu Yunyi even wondered if his current body could withstand bullets.

Did he still need this set of Nano Skin?

As he was thinking.

Old Jin came out with two boxes.

One small, one long.

Old Jin first took out the small box and retrieved a blue crystal core from it, saying:

"Model Three Nano Skin. Most people use artificial skin directly; it's one-fifth the price of Nano Skin."

"But since you don't want prosthetic modifications, this is your only option."

Holding the crystal core, Old Jin pressed it onto the back of Chu Yunyi's wrist and then pressed it again to activate it temporarily.

"This is a temporary activation, it will last for about 1 hour and 20 minutes."

"You can try it out first and then decide."

Listening to Old Jin, Chu Yunyi saw the semi-transparent blue crystal core turn completely blue and deflate instantly, becoming a flat surface like a tattoo.

A wave of coldness spread from his wrist, filling his entire body with each breath.

As it reached his scalp, Chu Yunyi felt his consciousness being touched, able to control this nearly invisible Nano Skin.

Scientifically speaking, it should be related to brainwaves.

Chu Yunyi reached into his [Portable Space], pulled out a Walther, and aimed it directly at his bare left arm, firing.

'Bang!'

A gunshot rang out.

A ripple appeared on his arm, then it returned to calm.

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

After several consecutive shots, the Nano Skin at the impact points completely collapsed, and the bullets penetrated.

'Pfft!'

The bullets embedded shallowly into his skin. Chu Yunyi tensed his muscles and squeezed them out.

Surprisingly, no blood flowed out.

This was because of NO.3 [Blood Control].

The completely shattered Nano Skin had a hole in it. These areas emitted a faint blue light, indicating that this spot was compromised.

It was visible that.

The Nano Skin in this area was slowly recovering, and it was estimated to be restored in a few minutes.

With that, Chu Yunyi fired at his exposed left arm again.

'Bang!'

The bullet penetrated flesh and blood, stopping just before the bone, unable to advance any further.

Chu Yunyi's brain sensors perceived the pain, reporting frantically.

After experiencing a large amount of pain, the sensors directly crashed. The other half of the massive adrenaline secretion began.

This made Chu Yunyi unable to feel the intense pain, only a tingling sensation, cool and refreshing.

After experimenting on his own body.

Chu Yunyi discovered that this Nano Skin was still necessary.

"I'll take this, let's see the knife."

Old Jin watched Chu Yunyi's crazy self-mutilation, his teeth gritting slightly. He had seen ruthless people before, but never someone so ruthless to themselves.

He paused for a moment.

He swiped the personal mobile terminal on the table, and the characters on it instantly reduced by eighty percent.
