Apocalypse: My Items Can Upgrade Infinitely

Lin Feng mentally selected Bullet Time, and its description appeared:

"Bullet Time: At close range, increases firearm aiming speed and physical reaction speed. Initial boost of 20%. Duration: 10 seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes."

It was the same as before: a 20% speed boost for ten seconds, with a ten-minute cooldown.

It was equivalent to a weaker version of the Physical Enhancement Superpower.

However, it specialized in speed. In close combat, it could quicken Lin Feng’s neural reaction time, allowing him to use equipped items more rapidly, like activating the Flying Tiger Armor’s Absolute Defense Form or raising his gun to counterattack when facing Cyan-winged or Wind-winged Zergs.

Bullet Time had arrived at the perfect moment.

Moreover, back when Lin Feng’s Basic Attributes weren’t high, the 20% boost hadn’t been very noticeable. But now, on the verge of his Tier Two Awakening, he possessed a Superior Physique Attribute Value of 170. A 20% boost now would allow his speed to directly match that of a Tier One Early Stage Tiger Spine Zerg!

From now on, he would be practically invincible in both close-quarters and ranged combat against others of the same tier.

He had no weaknesses!

Taking the opportunity, Lin Feng threw a nearby untouched can into the air and activated Bullet Time.

The next moment, the tin can that had been in freefall before his eyes suddenly had its speed halved. He could even catch it, pull his hand back, and then let it resume its accelerated fall.

It was then that Lin Feng realized the Bullet Time state not only increased his movement speed by 20% but also enhanced his sensory organs, including sight and hearing.

From his perspective, the movement of surrounding objects slowed by half, but his own neural reaction speed and physical abilities were unaffected.

Lin Feng had only ever seen this strange sensation in movie special effects. Now, experiencing it for himself, he truly understood the fearsome power of Bullet Time.

’It could easily be a standalone Superpower—a rare hybrid of Physique and Spirit!’

’Ordinary Physical Enhancement was nothing compared to this. Perhaps only the Physical Enhancement from a Tier Two Deep Awakening could rival it.’

Although Bullet Time only lasted ten seconds, to Lin Feng, it felt much longer, as if more than a dozen seconds had passed.

’As the Armor-Piercing Cannon continues to Upgrade, the duration will increase and the cooldown will shorten. Maybe in the future, I’ll be able to keep it active indefinitely.’

’On the battlefield, wouldn’t that make me completely invincible!?’

’Firepower Coverage from the Armor-Piercing Cannon at range, and defensive counter-attacks with Bullet Time up close...’

Lin Feng’s combat prowess was becoming that of a one-man army.

’Once I upgrade to the Tier Two Late Stage, I’ll be able to stop the invasion of a High-tier Mother Empress all by myself.’

At that thought, Lin Feng, at the last second, raised the tip of his foot and kicked up the tin can just as it was about to hit the ground.

Only two or three seconds had passed in the outside world, but to Lin Feng’s mind, it felt like seven or eight seconds had gone by. Combined with his increased speed, this feeling of slowed time was even more pronounced.

A moment later, Bullet Time ended, and the strange sensation faded.

After testing the new attribute, Lin Feng’s gaze fell on the final evaluation.

The Level 20 Armor-Piercing Cannon, just as its name implied, was made to break through a target’s heavy Armor.

As the Zerg Race continuously upgraded and evolved, their Armor and Defense, along with Life Value and Physique, constantly increased.

Take, for example, the Tiger Spine Zerg that ambushed him earlier. Its Giant Mandibles were already ten meters long before they were even fully revealed. Lin Feng had spun around and fired, catching a glimpse that identified it as a Tier Two Middle Stage Tiger Spine Zerg with over 400 Life Value. His own Level 19 Grenade Cannon had struggled to inflict any significant Damage on it.

’I’d have to find an opportunity to hit its abdomen or eyes—weak points in its armor—to seriously injure it.’

Originally, Lin Feng had a chance to take it down with continuous fire, but unfortunately, a thick layer of earth had blocked his shots, mitigating most of the Damage and allowing the Tiger Spine Zerg to escape safely.

But now with the Level 20 Armor-Piercing Cannon in hand, the shells it fired had extremely strong armor-piercing capabilities, able to penetrate a hundred-millimeter-thick Armor and even drill ten meters deep into the ground.

This would allow Lin Feng to easily snipe any Tier Two Zerg Race that showed their heads from a long distance. Combined with the Eye of the Death God, he could easily achieve headshot after headshot.

’It’s just like using cheats in a game.’

The new ground-drilling function also allowed Lin Feng to directly deal with the wormhole mounds that appeared on the battlefield, eliminating the Zerg Race hiding inside and stopping the continuous invasion of Red-Armored Beetles.

After reviewing all the functions of the upgraded Level 20 Armor-Piercing Cannon, Lin Feng gently stroked the jet-black long spear in his hands. Its streamlined design looked nothing like a modern firearm; it was more like a futuristic weapon from a sci-fi movie.

As expected of an Orange Quality piece of equipment; while its power was beyond imagination, its appearance was also top-tier.

Feeling its power, Lin Feng wanted nothing more than to climb the outpost’s bunker, lie down on the firing level, and experience the joy of sniping Tiger Spine Zergs.

But his personal synchronized upgrade was not yet complete.

Lin Feng knew that after the upgrade, he would become even more powerful, and only then would he be a perfect match for the Level 20 Armor-Piercing Cannon.

Forcibly suppressing the excitement and urgency in his heart, he held the Level 20 Armor-Piercing Cannon in his hand...

Lin Feng immediately initiated the synchronized upgrade.

As a flash of Orange Light passed, a powerful surge of Energy flowed from the weapon’s shaft into his body, coursing through his entire being.

This was another deep evolution comparable to a Tier One Superpower Awakening. Even though Lin Feng was prepared, he still felt intense discomfort.

The cells in his body were being permeated and transformed by the energy, expelling waste and reshaping their internal structures.

This strange transformation, while not yet agonizingly painful, still made Lin Feng break out in a cold sweat, the veins on his forehead bulging as he endured.

Fortunately, the process only lasted about an hour. Once his core and brain completed the Tier Two upgrade, the pain from the strengthening of his remaining limbs, skin, and muscles was no longer as intense.

Panting heavily, Lin Feng wiped at his face, clearing away the black and yellow filth that was seeping into his eyes. A layer of the slime covered his entire body.

He picked up the large bottle of mineral water prepared on the table and GULP, GULP, GULP, drank it all down.

After replenishing his lost fluids, Lin Feng returned to the bathroom, turned on the shower, and rinsed the filth from his body.

More than ten minutes later, when he walked out of the bathroom, clean, and saw himself in the mirror...

His skin had become fair and smooth all over. On his face, his pores had shrunk and his features were more defined, making him look just like a tough-guy protagonist from a movie.

Not only that, but Lin Feng also keenly noticed that his height had increased from 1.82 meters to 1.85 meters. Although this wasn’t the result of a single upgrade, it meant that as his Level increased, he was steadily growing stronger.

This was good news.

The Physique Attribute had always been the weak point of human evolution.

But for Lin Feng, this weakness did not exist.

After Lin Feng finished admiring his changes and got dressed, his Tier Two Awakening upgrade was officially complete.

A data notification floated before his eyes:

"Lin Feng, LV 20/29"

"Life Value 220, Physique 220, Spirit 215"

"Note: Tier Two Awakening provides an average increase of 50 points to Basic Attribute Value. Breaking Limit Values can be inherited."

"Replication Superpower has been enhanced: The characteristics of a Replica will only function within 1,000 meters of the original item."

"Upon completing Tier Two Awakening, you may bind one new piece of equipment. The highest quality for the bound item is Orange Quality."

A look of joy appeared on Lin Feng’s face. The results of this personal upgrade exceeded his expectations. Not only did his Basic Attributes increase by a massive 50 points, but his true Superpower, Replication, was also strengthened.

Its range had increased from the original one hundred meters to one thousand.

’By that logic, when I upgrade to Tier Three, the Replicas will be effective within tens of kilometers! I could use materials like Fine Steel to replicate a huge arsenal of weapons and arm my own territory!’

’Then I could easily fend off an attack from several Zerg Race Mother Empresses just by using a massive number of Replicas!’

If the system’s equipment upgrades only armed Lin Feng himself, then the Replication Superpower could lead an entire race to a civilizational leap.

The one with the greatest potential had, in fact, always been his Superpower!

Lin Feng immediately turned his gaze,

toward the Level 20 Armor-Piercing Cannon at his side...

’If I replicated a few dozen Level 19 Grenade Cannons, I’m confident I could lead an elite squad straight into the underground Wormholes and launch a proactive assault against the Tier Two Zerg Race!’

No sooner said than done.

He currently didn’t have a suitable item to bind as equipment. Lin Feng had originally considered binding the Flying Tiger Armor he was wearing, but on second thought, its function as an auxiliary device overlapped somewhat with the Flying Wing Tank.

Lin Feng still wanted to bind a weapon-type piece of equipment.

For instance, a high-end close-combat weapon that would match the properties of Bullet Time...

At this thought, an image of a young woman practicing with a blade appeared in Lin Feng’s mind.

’I wonder how Liu Yueqi is doing now...’

’After the battle for Wu City ends and we retreat to the State Capital, Jin City, I wonder if we’ll have a chance to meet again.’

Lin Feng took a deep breath and stood up.

He opened the door and walked outside. While he had been upgrading and Awakening, Chen Yanyan had already prepared a sumptuous dinner.

He saw her raise a wine glass and speak gently:

"Let’s celebrate our new Tier Two Awakener."

"Sergeant Lin!"
