Chapter 40: Upgrade and New Talent

[Item: Nano Healing Syringe]

[Effects: Mainly used for non-fatal injuries, can strengthen the tissue repair ability in a short time to achieve the effect of accelerated healing.]

That was something Chu Guang obtained from his loot box. 

Seeing how strong her ability was, Chu Guang originally planned to save the item. However, he discovered that her wound had started to become inflamed and swollen. Weighing the pros and cons, he decided to not save it any longer. 

If he allowed her wound to worsen, there might be a need for amputation. The shelter was far from capable of performing operations at the moment. They didn’t even have a doctor! There weren’t any anesthetics or alcohol they could use for disinfection, let alone a sterile environment.

Chu Guang made up his mind suddenly.

Leaving the matter of anesthetic aside, the least he could do was to ask Mosquito about obtaining alcohol!

Seeing Chu Guang approaching, Xia Yan instinctively wanted to retreat. Unfortunately, with only one leg and half her life left, she couldn’t move about in the slightest. 

"You… Don’t come over!”

Chu Guang did not bother to explain anything. He simply stabbed the needle into her right leg. 

"Ah…” 

Huh? It doesn't hurt?

Halfway through her scream, Xia Yan stopped and looked at the man in front of her with a dazed expression until he withdrew the needle that was stuck in her leg.

What’s going on?! Why doesn’t it hurt?

Just when Xia Yan wanted to ask him what was happening, she fell into a trance.

"What did you do to me?"

Chu Guang mumbled, "I just saved your life. You don't need to thank me."

Actually, if you really want to thank me, you can try to work hard in the shelter…

However, Chu Guang did not expect the natives of this world to be as diligent as the players from the other world.

Xia Yan wanted to say something, but her tongue could no longer move. Her consciousness turned dark and her panicked breaths gradually became even more uniform.

"I didn't expect this thing to have an effect of inducing sleep. Fortunately, I didn’t use it in battle..."

Observing her reaction quietly, Chu Guang took a pen from the drawer and silently wrote down her clinical reaction in a small notebook.

The Nano Healing Syringe has side effects such as drowsiness, anesthesia, and trance, so it should not be used in combat.

After he was done, Chu Guang carried her next door, found four rooms where the nurturing cabins had not been activated, and placed her on the ground.

The effects of the Nano Healing Syringe seemed to be revealed.

The originally swollen and pus-filled wound was gradually no longer swollen. Her pale cheeks gradually turned rosy again.

Although it was impossible to expect the lost calf to grow back, at least she did not need to amputate her entire leg.

The temperature and air level of the shelter were basically stable, within the most suitable range for life. Although the floor was a bit cooler, it was much better than sleeping on the surface.

All she needed to do was to rest.

The woman's constitution was pretty good, and Chu Guang believed that she would get better.

Leaving a piece of chocolate and a bottle of pure water produced by the outpost on the ground, Chu Guang locked the door of the room with the authority of the administrator to prevent her from wandering about after waking up.

When he was done, Chu Guang went back to the main hall and couldn't wait to check his current status

[ID: Chu Guang]

[Genetic Sequence: Administrator]

[Level: LV5 → LV7]

[Attributes]

[Strength: 9 → 10]

[Agility: 6]

[Constitution: 6]

[Perception: 7 → 8]

[Intelligence: 6]

"Leveling up two times in a row?"

Although he faintly felt that he was close to the edge of a breakthrough, he did not expect that this time the crisis would make him jump directly from LV5 to LV7.

Chu Guang revealed an expression of shock and joy. 

Having said that, the attribute’s changes caused by the development progress of the Administrator genetic sequence seemed to follow no rules.

Other players had main attributes, but he didn't. The points that increased seemed to be randomly allocated.

However, the addition of 1 point of strength and 1 point of perception was not bad at all! 

Those were basically the most useful and better attributes in the early stage.

Chu Guang had 10 strength points, which meant that he was almost twice as strong as an ordinary adult male. This was also true for items related to endurance, explosiveness, and other related fields in the physical examination results.

The improvement of his constitution meant that he would have a stronger physique and a stronger resistance to negative statuses.

Of course, what Chu Guang cared most about was the talent bar at the bottom of the attribute panel.

Compared with the last medical examination, this time there was an extra line in the talent column

[Talent]

[Wild Instinct: Wild instinct can be awakened in critical situations, all attributes are increased by 10-15% during the duration and the accumulation speed of fatigue value is increased by 20-30%.]

"Wild instinct, not bad..." Chu Guang mumbled. Even so, he still found the name a little weird. 

Whatever… It wasn’t difficult for him to accept it.

After all, the first administrator who designed the attribute panels and conversion formulas was a guy full of bad tastes.

Based on the previous physical examination data, Chu Guang roughly made a guess.

Simply put, his talent should be able to improve his cells, their metabolic efficiency, or stimulate the secretion of adrenaline within a certain period of time.

The effect was somewhat similar to a stimulant.

Well… It was only similar to a certain extent. The physiological and chemical reactions involved should be quite complicated.

Moreover, the data determined by the body examination was only a reference.

For example, the Creeper he ran into would have enough attributes to crush him! Even so, they were the ones who killed the monster instead.

After entering the medical examination data into the computer for archiving purposes, Chu Guang looked at the backpack he had thrown on the ground before. He reached out and picked it up.

Inside was the equipment that Night Ten had gathered from the corpses of the other mercenaries.

The moment the zipper was unzipped, an expression of joy immediately appeared on Chu Guang's face.

Four pistols, two submachine guns without stocks, a pump-action shotgun, and an assault rifle that was broken into two pieces down the middle.

Regardless of whether the assault rifle could be repaired or not, they obtained a windfall! 

I’m rich! The drops from those guys are awesome!

In addition to firearms, there were probably one or two hundred rounds of bullets. Some were packed in magazines, and some were just scattered about, cramming the half-person-tall backpack.

It could be seen that the Night Ten was very careful when searching those mercenaries, he even collected the empty magazines and stuffed them into the bag, leaving nothing behind.

However, the materials used to make those bullets were pretty generic. Most of them were forged from steel. Only a few loose bullets had steel cores covered in copper or lead cores covered in copper.

Chu Guang also noticed that a few bullets were painted with red paint, and seemed to be made from different materials. Those should be special bullets. 

Although these mercenaries were not rich, they had sufficient firepower.

"It seems that the strength of Boulder Town cannot be underestimated..." After weighing the bullet that had its tip painted red, Chu Guang gently threw it back into his bag.

The overall strength of a region was usually linked to its productivity.

For example, the marauders in the suburbs would use self-made iron-barreled rifles or whatever they picked up. Some of them simply used cold weapons.

To be able to arm all the stragglers to such an extent, the industrial capability of Boulder Town was probably even more amazing than the rumors he heard.

Chu Guang made up his mind.

As soon as winter passed, he would make a trip over to Boulder Town to take a look. 

Actually… It would be better to organize a caravan to head over!

The scale of the outpost would become larger and larger, and trade with other survivor strongholds was inevitable.

He could not always expect those unscrupulous profiteers to deliver things to their doorstep, and he had to head over in person if he didn’t want to rely too much on those profiteers.
