"A hundred kilometers range? And no recoil?!"
Zhao Jiayan's eyes lit up as she quickly took one of the crossbows, integrated it into her arm according to Yang Yuan's instructions, and then loaded an arrow for backup.
This recoil-free crossbow was much more convenient than a handgun. It was almost silent when used and posed no risk of self-injury.
"Big brother, I already have one," Jiang Yiyi said.
"Then take another one, one for each hand."
Yang Yuan said, "There might be chaos during the big battle tomorrow. If anyone messes with you, just shoot them. As long as you don't provoke them first, I'll cover you for anything that happens."
The nearby soldiers on guard were taken aback and quickly assured, "Mr. Yang Yuan, rest assured, we will ensure your two partners are well protected, and nothing will happen to them."
Such a crossbow with no recoil yet capable of a hundred-kilometer range!
With energy so terrifying, I'm afraid not even the Human Limit can withstand it, right?
If it hits, the terrifying kinetic energy could likely shatter a person, possibly even piercing through.
Yang Yuan smiled and said nothing more, only worried that Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi might be afraid to cause him trouble, so he took precautions in advance.
He believed the military wouldn't let such things happen.
He personally escorted Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi out of the factory, sent them to the Radiation-Proof Safe House, and returned to the factory after seeing them go inside.
Back in the factory, he found a soldier and asked him to retrieve the batch of Marvel·Plum Blossom Darts previously handled by Storm.
If enough experience was gained from that batch of Marvel·Plum Blossom Darts, they might provide him with some personal experience.
With the big battle approaching, he couldn't arm himself too much.
Although the big battle tomorrow wouldn't require him to get close, the stronger he was, the more confident he felt.
Soon, the soldier returned with the batch of Marvel·Plum Blossom Darts and explained, "This batch of Plum Blossom Darts is incredibly high quality, and none have been scrapped yet."
"No problem."
Yang Yuan's purpose was just to gain experience. However, for this Marvel·Plum Blossom Dart to reach level twenty-one in one go, nearly ten thousand experience points were needed. Counting slowly wasn't feasible, as it would waste manpower.
So he instructed to discard them as much as possible, but evidently, the quality of Marvels wasn't something ordinary Plum Blossom Darts could compare to. Scrapping them wasn't easy.
Moreover, because the range was so far, retrieving them was troublesome. I guess those people used some sturdy targets; otherwise, they would easily get lost.
Letting the soldier continue working, he carried the box back to the printer and checked the experience of the Plum Blossom Darts inside.
"Fortunately, a few of them have enough experience. Let's see if the items I create reaching level twenty-one reset the experience through multiplication or addition."
He picked up a Marvel·Plum Blossom Dart and began upgrading it.
[Marvel·Plum Blossom Dart Lv.11: 9683/6 (Range increased by 2,000 meters; has Piercing, Armor Piercing, and Invisibility traits; upgradable)]
...
[Marvel·Plum Blossom Dart Lv.12: 9677/12 (Range increased by 3,000 meters... upgradable)]
"After achieving Marvel status, doesn't the range of the Plum Blossom Dart double?"
Yang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly and continued upgrading.
...
[Marvel·Plum Blossom Dart Lv.14: 9641/48 (Range increased by 5,000 meters... upgradable)]
This time, no new traits appeared, perhaps strengthening the existing traits?
...
[Marvel·Plum Blossom Dart Lv.20: 6617/3072 (... 20,000 meters... upgradable)]
...
[Marvel·Plum Blossom Dart Lv.21: 0/9 (Range increased by 30,000 meters, with Piercing, Armor Piercing, and Invisibility traits; upgradable)]
After reaching level twenty-one, the Marvel's experience indeed reset.
Moreover, the reset experience is the sum of the level-one initial experience and the level-eleven initial experience.
So it seems that next time, which is at level thirty-one, the upgrade experience will be the initial experience at level one plus the initial experience at level eleven, then the initial experience at level twenty-one.
This was not unexpected since personal experience also increases incrementally like this.
But what surprised Yang Yuan was that after reaching level twenty-one, there was no substantial change.
'Could it be because, when it became a Marvel, the foundation was laid, and afterward, it's continuously enhancing existing traits?'
Just like humans, when they awaken, they awaken a certain ability, and the subsequent upgrades continuously enhance that ability, rather than awakening a second ability upon reaching a certain level?
'However, with an additional thirty kilometers of range, and the Marvels I create have no usage cost. Even ordinary people can unleash massive destructive power with this, no wonder it's called a Marvel.'
But there's one point: when actually used against enemies, these Marvels are easily lost.
Unless fully authorized to someone else, because he himself was reluctant to use such things.
Using this was not as good as using Marvel Crossbows.
Yang Yuan didn't ponder too much on this. He upgraded the remaining Plum Blossom Darts with enough experience and gathered seven personal experience points.
'Enough to level up.'
With a thought, he directly upgraded his personal level to level twenty-two.
[Lv.22: 4/6 (Non-upgradable)]
After reaching level twenty-two, his physical strength and other attributes increased significantly, but there was no qualitative change.
Yang Yuan calmly withdrew his gaze and then turned his attention to the experience of the Power Armor he was wearing.
It was already late at night, and the experience needed for the Firepower Flying Disc to reach level ten was getting closer and closer. He was also fully arming himself, so Power Armor was naturally essential.
[Power Armor Lv.7: 7621/6400 (Land Armor, now capable of low-altitude flight; radar maximum radius 2,000 meters; upgradable)]
Five days had passed, and the experience was enough to level up again.
...
[Power Armor Lv.8: 1223/12800 (Land Armor, now capable of low-altitude flight; radar maximum radius 4,000 meters; non-upgradable)]
At level eight, the Power Armor had more power.
Besides, although he hadn't tried it yet, there was no doubt the flight speed was definitely faster.
'However, as my strength grows stronger, this Power Armor currently seems to have no other use besides the flight function and remote connection control of the Firepower Flying Disc.'
Yang Yuan felt that his current physical defense capabilities far exceeded the Power Armor on his body.
As for the Power Armor's so-called 'power', compared to his own strength, it was negligible.
No way, the initial quality of this Power Armor was just too poor.
'Oh, and there's the sniper rifle.'
Yang Yuan turned around and said to the soldier standing guard at the factory entrance, "Bring me the sniper rifle I used before."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The soldier didn't go over in person but called using a walkie-talkie.
Soon, the previously used Killing Sniper Rifle, which had been gaining experience, was brought back.
