Chapter 524 - 521: Upgrading Equipment
After listening to Lin Xinghai’s explanation, Zuo Wenya fell silent for a long time before reluctantly accepting the truth. He couldn’t help but marvel; some people’s talent truly defied conventional wisdom.
Soon after, Lin Xinghai left Zuo Wenya’s office.
He returned to his residence, picked up his miniature Mjolnir and Battle Armor, and then headed to the academy’s research institute.
At the institute, students could directly purchase the latest weapons and equipment or submit requests for customization.
Of course, either option was ridiculously expensive.
He went straight to the student reception desk. After stating his request to the receptionist, he was quickly led into a small reception room.
"Hello, I am Shen Sinian, a High Level researcher. I heard you want to enhance your custom weapon. Do you have any special requirements?" Shen Sinian introduced himself first, then asked seriously.
Normally, receiving a student didn’t require a High Level researcher like him at all. Logically, even for a high-priority reception, a Basic Level researcher would have been more than enough.
But when Lin Xinghai registered, they checked the internal files and discovered that he was an official member of the Seed Plan.
This instantly raised the level of importance they placed on Lin Xinghai by several tiers, putting him on par with the academy’s leadership.
That was why a High Level researcher like him had appeared.
"Hello! I don’t really have any special requests. I just want you to upgrade my weapon and armor." Hearing that the man was a High Level researcher, Lin Xinghai was surprised but remained very polite.
He hadn’t expected a High Level researcher to receive him personally. Research talents of this caliber were considered quite important, even at a national level.
After listening, Shen Sinian didn’t speak immediately. Instead, he picked up Mjolnir and examined it carefully.
As for the Battle Armor, he only glanced at it. After all, it had come from their research institute, so he knew exactly what it did.
After a moment of thought, he said, "If you don’t have any special requests, my suggestion for this spear that releases lightning is to add a special Biological Alloy to enhance its hardness and sharpness, while also adding certain properties."
"Of course, the specific type of Biological Alloy is up to you. After all, different types have different effects and different prices."
"As for this Armor, our research institute already has several enhancement plans for it. I’ll show you the options in a moment, and you can just pick one."
"Okay, thank you for your help," Lin Xinghai said with a nod.
Shen Sinian pressed his Communication Device. After giving a command, another staff member soon entered the room and brought in the necessary files.
"First is the Biological Alloy. Go ahead and pick one," Shen Sinian said, handing the file to Lin Xinghai.
Lin Xinghai glanced at the file. The so-called Biological Alloys were all listed by serial number, but they could be roughly divided into First Level, Second Level, and Third Level.
In addition to Levels, they were also divided by Attributes. For example, the one with serial number B206 stated that it increased Fire Attribute conductivity, boosting the conduction speed of Blood Qi Power by 13.6%.
"The First, Second, and Third Level Biological Alloys are actually made from the corpses of Mutated Zombies of those respective tiers," Shen Sinian reminded him from the side.
Lin Xinghai nodded, his gaze quickly locking onto the Third Level Alloy materials.
These were materials from Tier Three Mutated Zombies, equivalent to the Divine Demon Realm. The prices were astronomical, generally starting at 100,000 Credit Points per kilogram.
However, Lin Xinghai wasn’t too concerned. He wanted to get it right in one go, and besides, his Mjolnir wouldn’t require a large amount of the Alloy.
Soon, he set his sights on the Biological Alloy with the serial number G8312.
Without a doubt, this was a Third Level Biological Alloy. According to its description, it had excellent conductivity for Thunder Attribute abilities and provided a 10% amplification effect.
Furthermore, it increased Blood Qi Power transmission speed by 50% and could be sustained for long periods with zero loss.
After finalizing which Biological Alloy to use for Mjolnir, Lin Xinghai quickly turned his attention to the enhancement plans for his Battle Armor.
Since the Battle Armor was quite small, achieving a significant, all-around enhancement was very difficult.
He could only choose one aspect to enhance.
Lin Xinghai looked over the plans. He wasn’t interested in enhancements to basic Attributes like Power, Speed, or Defense Power. His focus quickly landed on the Superpower enhancement.
This was what he wanted most. According to the plan, after upgrading the Armor, the Superpower Amplifier could directly magnify his original Superpower’s effect by ten times.
This would be an immense help to him.
"Are you sure you want to go with these two plans? Their prices are a bit steep." After speaking, Shen Sinian did a quick mental calculation and gave an approximate figure. "It will probably cost around 230,000 Credit Points."
This was an absolute fortune for a student; even most instructors wouldn’t be able to afford it.
But Lin Xinghai just smiled and nodded. "Okay, no problem."
"In that case, please follow the procedure and register these two items. I will personally handle the modifications for you. As for the exact cost, it will be determined by the materials consumed during the process. Of course, the margin of error won’t usually exceed 10,000 Credit Points," Shen Sinian said.
Lin Xinghai quickly completed the procedure and left the two items at the research institute.
The entire modification process would take about a week. Of course, this didn’t really affect Lin Xinghai.
After all, even when he went out on missions, he rarely used these particular weapons, relying mainly on Firearms.
And even if he ran into trouble, he could pilot the Rare Level Mecha provided by Little Fatty.
It was worth mentioning that after a month of gathering materials, the Hongyu Conglomerate had finally begun the preliminary production of the Legendary Level Mecha.
According to Little Fatty’s calculations, it would be completed in two months at the fastest, or three at the slowest. This was definitely VIP treatment.
After all, even if a Divine Demon Realm expert placed an order, it would typically take a year.
For the next while, Lin Xinghai maintained a simple routine between the classroom, the dining hall, and his dormitory.
Even while on missions, he was busy with the Refinement of Blood Burst Pills.
His goal was to break through the 1,000-point threshold for his Blood Qi Power before Zuo Wenya assigned him his next mission.
After all, according to the information he’d gathered, 1,000 points of Blood Qi Power was a threshold, and crossing it would bring considerable benefits.
Every day, factoring in the time from his Time Acceleration, Lin Xinghai spent almost 38 hours on Cultivation.
Under these circumstances, after a week, his Blood Qi Power was finally about to reach the 1,000-point threshold.
