Chapter 96: Chapter 88: Entry Library!
Tendon Lock, accomplished!
An indescribable sense of power instantly coursed through every part of his body!
Su Lin’s deep pupils seed to flash with lightning, bursting with uncontrollable joy.
The strongest state below a First-Transford Martial Artist—Tendon Lock!
He finally crossed this threshold, truly joining the ranks of the strong in the village!
This ant he finally possessed the hard strength to protect himself in this brutal apocalypse!
Who would have thought that soone once deed to have an atrocious talent for martial arts could rely on amazing luck and continuous nourishnt from Treasure at to forcibly open the door of Tendon Lock in such a short ti?
Even Su Lin himself felt a dreamlike confusion looking back at the drastic changes in these short two weeks.
Accompanying the warm flow entering his mind with the breakthrough was another huge surprise!
In the depths of his consciousness, three new silver glows suddenly lit up, hanging like stars beside the existing entries of [King of the Garbage Can], [Precise Shooting], and [Big Buy Special], forming a burgeoning library of entries!
[Carefully Crafted: Gain 20% enhancent when constructing chanisms or crafting equipnt.]
"—I reckon this is better!"
[Team Building: Obtain one of each low-level chanism blueprint.]
"—Comprehensive developnt is the essence!"
[Glazed Cannon: The durability of chanisms you create is reduced by 20%, but they gain 40% enhancent.]
"—Forget comprehensive! Charge without fear!"
"They are all entries related to chanisms!" Su Lin was invigorated.
This was exactly what he most urgently needed!
The miraculous effect of [Big Buy Special] resurfaced—it gained new entries after the power increase.
His gaze swept over, [Team Building] was first excluded.
The blueprints for low-level chanisms were long outdated for him, akin to the previous [King of the Garbage Can], with its value drastically reducing as the safe house level increased.
The real choice lay between [Carefully Crafted] and [Glazed Cannon].
Both are crafting-related entries but represent entirely different paths:
[Carefully Crafted] is steady and secure, provides a 20% boost, no side effects;
[Glazed Cannon] is more aggressive, sacrificing 20% durability for a staggering 40% enhancent!
More critically, a vital question flashed quickly through Su Lin’s mind:
"Are the bonuses between different entries additive or multiplicative?"
If they are independent multiplicative zones:
Then [Glazed Cannon] is undoubtedly the better solution!
Low-level chanisms under the tenfold enhancent of [King of the Garbage Can] multiplied by 1.4 tis would have their power surge to a terrifying fourteen tis!
This would suffice to compensate for the loss of durability, transforming the firepower of the chanisms.
Whereas [Carefully Crafted] only multiplies by 1.2 tis, making the increase seem far inferior.
If they are simple additive within the sa multiplicative zone:
The gap between [Glazed Cannon] and [Carefully Crafted] would greatly narrow, with its advantages mainly reflected in chanisms built from materials not enhanced by [King of the Garbage Can].
"High risk, high reward!" Determination flashed in Su Lin’s eyes.
In this precarious apocalypse, chanisms are consumables, ordinary chanisms are like paper in front of Boss-level Shadow Beasts, breaking at a touch.
Rather than pursuing illusory "durability," why not transform limited resources into extre firepower for instant bursts, striving to destroy the enemy in the shortest ti!
Moreover, the terrifying possibility of fourteen tis enhancent is just too enticing!
"You’re the one—[Glazed Cannon]!"
Once the decision was made, the silver glows of [Carefully Crafted] and [Team Building] quickly dimd and disappeared, leaving only the radiant [Glazed Cannon] officially joining the array of entries in his mind, hanging alongside the other two silver and one gold entries.
[King of the Garbage Can]!
[Precise Shooting]!
[Big Buy Special]!
[Glazed Cannon]!
Feeling the gradually filling library of entries in his mind, an unprecedented sense of security arose.
Su Lin’s lips curled into a genuine smile:
"This is my true foundation for standing in this brutal world!"
He seed to already see, with his power continually advancing, a future shimring with an ocean of entries like a galaxy.
"What a pity... this is an apocalypse racing against ti, no room for
to loiter till the end like a sword god in a cultivation novel."
A hint of regret brushed his heart, quickly replaced by even stronger resolve.
A cool breeze swept in through the window, brushing against his slightly flushed bare upper body from the surging Qi and Blood, instantly driven away by the rising heat.
Su Lin’s gaze cast out into the deepening night, acutely sensing the turbulence in the air.
"The beast tide is coming soon." He whispered, his eyes shimring with anticipation, "Perfect timing! Let’s test the power of the [Glazed Cannon] with these shadow beasts and see if the stacking effects are additive or multiplicative!"
Su Lin quickly went downstairs and headed to the observatory of the safe house.
The chi at nine o’clock sounded like a death knell, striking right on ti.
The shadow beasts, like a black tide breaking through, swept across Wuyin Village once again.
Thanks to the defensive trend led by Su Lin, the village now had much sparser gunfire, as most shadow beasts were blocked by traps and chanisms set up by families.
In the courtyard of Su Lin’s Level 3 Safe House, the first wave of a hundred shadow beasts roared as they charged into the trap array.
"Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!"
Earth spikes shot up like frantic bamboo shoots after a rain, the sharp sound of armor piercing continuous and relentless!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Heavy wooden hamrs crashed down with more violent force than ever before!
A hundred shadow beasts were like snow thrown into a furnace, disappearing almost instantly under the increasingly efficient and forceful trap assaults.
"So fast!"
Beside him, Su Tongxi also noticed the anomaly and turned to look at the clock inside, astonished:
"Brother Kirin, isn’t the first wave ending too quickly today?"
"Hmm!" Su Lin nodded vigorously, his eyes gleaming with excitent, unable to hide his delight, "This is exactly the speed we want!"
This improvent in efficiency far exceeded expectations!
The stacking effect of [Glazed Cannon] and [King of the Garbage Can] was very likely multiplicative!
A terrifying fourteen tis enhancent!
"Just wait, the true test is the boss!"
He restrained his excitent and quickly gathered the scattered shadow cores in the courtyard.
Eleven thirty.
The ground subtly trembled, a heavy sense of oppression shrouded the courtyard.
Accompanied by a mournful wolf howl tearing the night sky apart, a giant wolf the size of a small mountain stepped into the courtyard range.
The silver crescent marking on its forehead glowed with a cold light in the darkness, a boss-level shadow beast, Crescent Giant Wolf!
"Awoo—!"
The giant wolf roared as it launched a charge.
"Zheng zheng zheng—!"
The earth spikes were the first to strike, sharp blades gleaming with tallic cold light broke through the soil, with penetrating power far exceeding before, fiercely stabbing at the giant wolf’s thick limbs!
"Puchi! Crunch!"
This ti, the sharp blades did not just hit the surface but deeply pierced into the tough muscle tissue!
However, while inflicting considerable damage, so earth spikes also emitted ear-piercing breaking sounds under the giant wolf’s fierce strength and robust tendons!
"Hoo—!" The Crescent Giant Wolf let out a painful howl, its forward montum halted.
The pain triggered its ferocity, its blood-red beast eyes locked onto the culprit, massive wolf claws sweeping down with a bloody wind!
"Boom!" A section of earth spikes was directly shattered by the violent force!
The giant wolf broke through the earth spike array, charging toward the courtyard gate!
"Woo—whoom—!"
The suspended wooden hamr descended with a piercing whistle, crashing down atop!
"Crack!"
Facing this sudden increase in chanism attack power, the Crescent Giant Wolf hurriedly raised its paw to block, paying the price with a crisp bone-breaking sound!
Its forelimb was unexpectedly smashed broken!
"Enough!" Su Lin’s eyes burned with battle spirit, the validation was now evident!
The stacking effect is indeed multiplicative!
Under fourteen tis enhancent, even low-level chanisms can effectively injure boss-level shadow beasts, even severely damage them!
"Swish!"
The long saber unsheathed, its cold gleam reflecting the moon!
Freed from tendon lock, Su Lin moved like a ghost through the power-enhanced chanism array, actively engaging the wounded giant wolf.
Blade light like gushing waves, swift as thunderbolt!
One strike! Two strikes! Three strikes!
The three precise slashes filled with the mighty power of a tendon lock martial artist cut through, Crescent Giant Wolf’s grueso head flew skyward, its massive body crashed to the ground.
chanism power and martial prowess, both soared tonight!
Su Lin sheathed his blade and stood firm, sensing the surging power within and the glowing entries in his mind’s database, he gazed toward the dark outskirts where the Shunfeng Travel Group was approaching, an air of bravado surged in his heart.
"Now, I am more confident to handle the upcoming changes."
