A massive stream of information surged into his mind.
Lu Xun quickly learned all the secrets of this light saber.
It was a first-generation light saber, with its core being a precious crystal material embedded within the hilt.
Upon pressing the button, the crystal releases a massive amount of plasma, forming a blade-like plasma beam under a strong magnetic field.
This crystal is called "Mayan Crystal," not native to Blue Star, but hailing from the Otherworld, arriving with the Celestial Convergence. Of course, this material occasionally appears in rifts as well and is considered a rare resource.
"A treasure!"
Lu Xun's eyes gleamed as he played with the light saber, unable to put it down.
Even though it was just a first-generation light saber, it was military-grade and strictly controlled, with civilians having no chance to come into contact with it.
A thought to test it crossed his mind, and he raised his right hand.
With a thought, his right palm began to enlarge and thicken at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In an instant, it turned into the right hand in the Ghost God Body form.
The joints were extraordinarily thick, and the giant palm was large enough to grip Lu Xun's own waist.
The skin of the palm was also covered with a keratin-like, light-red "membrane."
Don't underestimate this membrane.
Even full-power bullets couldn't penetrate it, its defensive power was unbelievably amazing!
The sixth-level "Rigid" trait was no joke.
Apart from the right hand, the rest of Lu Xun's body remained in normal form.
This was a small trick he accidentally discovered last night—
He could transform into the full Ghost God Form or control only part of his body for small-scale mutations.
He could even control the degree of mutation, whether low power or full power, at will.
At the moment, he mutates one Ghost God right hand, and it's in its extreme state.
Then he lightly directed the plasma blade of the light saber towards his palm.
Hiss!
The "membrane" on the surface of his skin only lasted a second before it was pierced by the light saber!
Lu Xun quickly pulled the sword away and immediately cut off its power, turning it off.
He looked at the shallow mark left on his palm and couldn't help but take a sharp breath.
"Is this really a first-generation light saber?"
Lu Xun was deeply shocked.
Fortunately, he hadn't recklessly gone into close combat with Red Eye last night, or he would have been seriously injured for sure.
While filled with post-incident fear, he also developed a deep respect for human military technology.
As Lu Xun knew, the Human Federation's current light sabers had been developed to over a dozen generations!
And a light saber was just an auxiliary melee weapon.
Its significance to warriors was equivalent to a dagger or a combat knife.
Among numerous military weapons, it was not particularly conspicuous.
Mechas, exploding guns, fluctuation cannons, force field generators... those formidable assets were the foundation of the Human Federation's standing in the world.
The first-generation light saber in Lu Xun's hand was likely optimized by the City Defense Army due to its outdated version, providing the "boss" with the opportunity to illegally deal in military hardware and use it for private purposes.
'Although I've gained some strength, it's still far from enough.'
'Good against ordinary people, but if I encounter a tough nut, I would be terribly beaten!'
Lu Xun thought with a serious expression.
Seeing the power of the light saber, he realized his own limitations.
He did not let yesterday's victory inflate his ego.
Despite having reached Special-level Warrior standards;
And even though Jinghai City was only a second-tier small city.
If he was too reckless, they could easily crush him!
If the City Defense Army dispatched even one old-version first-generation mecha, Lu Xun might not stand a chance.
Therefore, he decided from now on to follow the laws and regulations as much as possible, and be a good citizen.
The reason for "as much as possible" is due to the fact that he now possessed unauthorized military equipment and could not turn it in... because he couldn't explain its source.
He hid the light saber deep in the closet, and his right hand shrank back, returning to normal form.
Then he lay back on his bed.
In the upcoming time, Lu Xun went online to search and figured out the "realm" division of the Human Federation.
In fact, it couldn't be called "realm," but rather "combat power rating."
Inferior, Low, Medium, High, Special, Lord, King...
Each level was divided into 1~9 stages.
It was rated based on combat power, not life level.
For example:
Special-level life forms generally possess special-level combat power.
But low-level life does not necessarily lack special-level strength!
Like Zhang Xinghai, who turned agent after retiring from the Iron Guard.
He only has a low-level life tier, but with a bunch of military-grade prosthetic bodies implanted, his real combat power would definitely be terrifying!
Lu Xun didn't know the specific standards of the Human Federation's combat power evaluation.
Nor did he know which stage of Special-level he belonged to.
Fortunately, he found a way!
Several major prosthetic body shops sold "combat power detectors."
These devices could evaluate the combat power of a target in real-time, assessing not only the stage but also providing specific combat power values.
For example, Xie Manyu's combat power is 5, which increases to 10 when she holds a kitchen knife; and becomes 100 when she grabs a gun... Even when she rides the "Lu Xun Beast" into battle, it shoots up to 10,000!
Lu Xun decided to buy one tomorrow, since it wasn't expensive.
Meanwhile, he planned to purchase a set of nano-mechanical shorts and a nano short T-shirt.
Otherwise, whenever he transformed, his clothes would explode completely, and streaking in public would be somewhat embarrassing.
...
Lu Xun took a brief nap and was woken by a strong aroma wafting in.
He wiped his drool and quickly got out of bed, dressed, and dashed straight to the kitchen.
"It smells so good, Auntie, what delicious thing are you making?" He stood at the kitchen doorway, craned his neck to peek inside.
Only to have his aunt push his head back.
She wore an apron, rested her left hand on her hip, and wagged a spoon with her right, angrily saying, "You just had stitches, don't move around! Go lie down; I'll bring the food to your room."
"I'm really okay, how about I do a few flips to show you?"
"If you dare flip, I'll pour this pot of chicken soup out!" His aunt's eyes widened, her brows arching, showing she wasn't to be messed with either.
This brat, getting hundreds of stitches and still not self-aware? Doing flips?!
But Lu Xun, as a dignified man, how could he let his family serve him meals in bed?
"That would be too suspicious!" He rolled his eyes, quietly counter-threatened: "Aunt, do you want Xiao Yu to know her beloved brother has over a hundred wounds?
Goodness, how she would cry, I can't even imagine! Can you imagine?"
Jiang Jingfei: "???"
She glared angrily at her obnoxious nephew, saying nothing.
The battle ended with Lu Xun's victorious win!
He easily got the upper hand!
He chuckled sneakily and strutted away, hands behind his back, feeling triumphant.
Shortly after, Xiao Yu came out of her room, also startled awake by the heavy aroma.
She wore bear pajamas, her cute face drowsy, looking as if she hadn't fully awakened.
"Mmm~ good morning, bro, ha~~"
Xie Manyu yawned, stretching lazily, wobbling over to the sofa, sitting next to Lu Xun, casually smacking her elder brother's belly, greeting him.
The next moment, she opened her eyes wide, her sleepiness vanished, and she touched... and touched again, seemingly unsure...
Then she suddenly looked up at Lu Xun:
"What the heck! Abs?!"
