Chapter 96: Upgrading Weapons

At this moment, Gao Ya suddenly shouted, "Brother Feng!"

Turning around, Xiao Feng saw Gao Ya holding a crystal core in her hand.

Seeing this crystal core, Xiao Feng was immediately stunned.

It was a third-tier crystal core, undoubtedly left by Bai Zhan just now.

After dinner, Xiao Feng returned to the his room.

The recent events of the past few days finally came to a halt.

It was time for Xiao Feng to take stock of his recent gains.

This time out, he not only obtained the head of the mutated yellow bull and its crystal core but more importantly, unexpectedly acquired a one-million energy crystal.

The shelter alliance attempted to lure the yellow bull away using the crystal, but Xiao Feng ended up benefiting from it.

However, Xiao Feng found that the one million energy value hadn’t been accounted for in the restaurant’s income statement.

Xiao Feng’s main quest this time was to accumulate an income of two million.

Now, directly obtaining one million, theoretically, it should have exceeded the two million limit long ago.

However, it appeared that any income not derived from the restaurant’s normal income sources wouldn’t be considered part of the cumulative income.

Slightly disappointed, Xiao Feng didn’t mind much.

Even though it wasn’t added to the income, that one million energy value was substantial.

Adding it to the previous income, Xiao Feng now had two million two hundred thousand.

This energy was enough to upgrade many things for Xiao Feng: his own level, the restaurant’s level, and various skill levels.

Considering it, Xiao Feng felt the current level of the restaurant was sufficient. Since the last upgrade, the second-floor private room had yet to be used.

Thinking of the departed Bai Zhan, Xiao Feng had planned to invite them to experience the second-floor private room.

He decided not to upgrade the restaurant level for now, but his personal level needed advancement.

Having previously chosen to upgrade telekinesis, Xiao Feng planned to upgrade his culinary mastery evolution ability to the fourth level this time.

​​[Reminder: Do you want to spend a hundred thousand energy to upgrade the culinary mastery evolution ability to the fourth tier?]

"Yes!"

Xiao Feng silently affirmed within.

​​[Reminder: Culinary mastery evolution ability upgraded successfully. Current level: fourth tier]

​​[Reminder: Unlocked fourth-tier culinary mastery skill—Super Taste]

​​[Super Taste: As a super chef, having an excellent taste is crucial. An outstanding taste can elevate your dishes to perfection.]

"Reaching the fifth tier as an evolver requires five hundred thousand energy!"

Seeing this daunting figure, Xiao Feng couldn’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed.

In fact, the number itself isn’t terrifying.

What’s terrifying is that Xiao Feng currently possesses various evolutionary abilities.

The culinary mastery is one, along with telekinesis, the recently fused Ice Soul Qi and Undead Fire, the Evil Buddist Three Cut, the comprehended Dao Intent, and the Butchering Dao Intent.

All of these can be upgraded using energy. If all of them were to be upgraded, the energy required would be a staggering amount. Not to mention, there are other reward skills that can also be upgraded.

"Ah?"

Just at this moment, Xiao Feng suddenly brightened.

"I wonder if weapons can be upgraded using energy?"

Xiao Feng was excited about this idea.

So he immediately took out the Barrett from his backpack.

"Can I upgrade this weapon in my hand?"

Xiao Feng inquired the system.

​​[Prompt: Upgrading is possible, but it consumes a considerable amount of energy. If there are auxiliary materials available, the energy consumption for upgrading can be reduced.]

"What does that mean?"

Xiao Feng asked with a furrowed brow.

​​[Prompt: The current weapon is made of special steel. If you have enough special steel, you can consume a small portion of the material to upgrade the weapon.]

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng understood what was going on.

In other words, you can directly upgrade, but it requires a large amount of energy. After all, upgrading the various performance aspects of a weapon requires material supplementation and forging. Relying solely on energy for upgrades requires a significant amount.

However, if you have the relevant materials and then proceed with the upgrade, the energy consumption is significantly reduced.

But the steel used to make Barrett is not something commonly found in the market.

Where could he get these things?

In the next moment, Xiao Feng’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Regardless of what happened just now, everything was forged through various synthesizing processes. If he used ordinary iron blocks for forging, wouldn’t he obtain the corresponding materials?

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng immediately walked out of the restaurant and picked up a lot of scrap iron.

He quickly turned these ordinary scraps of iron into a pool of molten iron through the refining of the Undead Fire. Impurities were removed, and the iron became more refined.

Xiao Feng had been checking with the system throughout the process. Finally, after more than half an hour of forging, he obtained steel similar to the material used for the Barrett.

With about ten pounds of steel, Xiao Feng upgraded it again.

This time, the energy consumption was reduced by a whopping seventy percent.

Previously, if Xiao Feng had upgraded it directly, it would have cost two hundred thousand energy points to upgrade the Barrett from a common weapon to a Human-grade weapon. However, with the relevant materials, it only required sixty thousand energy points.

​​[Prompt: Barrett M82A1 upgraded successfully, current grade is Human-grade]

Xiao Feng couldn’t wait to check the attributes of the Barrett.

He loved this kind of domineering weapon. When he saw its upgraded attributes, he was delighted.

Equipment:

Barrett M82A1: Human-grade

Magazine: 15

Skill: +150% penetration

Attack Range: 3500

Effect: Generates different destructive effects based on different bullets.

After the upgrade, the Barrett transformed from a common weapon to a Human-grade one. The magazine capacity increased from the original ten bullets to fifteen. The skill’s penetration increased from one hundred percent to one hundred fifty percent. The shooting range also increased from three thousand to three thousand five hundred, adding an extra five hundred meters.

Xiao Feng eagerly looked at the energy required for the upgrade.

This look made him roll his eyes.

Unexpectedly, upgrading from Human-grade to Earth-grade required a whopping one million energy points. Even with a seventy percent reduction in energy after gathering enough materials, it still required three hundred thousand energy points to upgrade.

Thinking that the Barrett was sufficient for the time being, Xiao Feng decided not to waste energy on upgrading it.

In the next moment, Xiao Feng couldn’t help but mutter, "If weapons can be upgraded, can I use the meteorite from outer space as a material to upgrade an ordinary kitchen knife?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng couldn’t wait to find a kitchen knife.

Arriving at the kitchen, Xiao Feng randomly picked up a kitchen knife and looked at it.

The system prompted.

​​[Prompt: Do you want to spend two hundred thousand energy to upgrade this kitchen knife?]

"No!"

Xiao Feng immediately rejected it.

Because this kitchen knife was too ordinary. If he wanted to upgrade it, he would need to find a similar one.

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng immediately thought of the specialty kitchenware store on the next street.
