Chapter 95 Changes Brought About by the Upgrade
After doing all this, Li Ang carefully collected some newly grown moonshoe moss, trying not to damage its root system.
These expensive materials will be of great benefit, whether for completing workshop commissions to exchange for contribution points or for future potion research.
After finishing these tasks, Li Ang returned to his dormitory, changed out of his wet clothes, and began to inspect and upgrade his personal equipment.
With the increase in his mental strength limit, coupled with the enhancements from the [Acceleration Pocket Watch] and the [Sage's Ring], upgrading these bound facilities was no longer a burden for him.
The first thing he upgraded was the [Acceleration Pocket Watch] that had been with him the longest. As the level increased, not only did the recovery effect increase to 50%, but the appearance of the pocket watch also changed. The originally simple and antique-style bronze pocket watch now had an exquisite cover that could be opened and closed.
"It really has transformed." Li Ang muttered to himself. The scene before him confirmed that the changes when he upgraded the puppet were not an illusion, but that its appearance had really changed with the upgrade.
He then took out his wand to upgrade it, and sure enough, the wand's appearance changed when it was upgraded to LV5.
At the bottom of the wand, there was a tiny, translucent, light blue magic crystal, about the size of a grain of rice. But that's not all; what excited Li Ang even more was that the original single wind attribute amplification had been transformed into a dual wind and water attribute amplification.
This undoubtedly greatly enhanced his strength. During the last test, Li Ang discovered that his self-created compound spell was also amplified by the wind attribute of the wand. Now that the wand has two attribute amplifications, the power of his self-created spell can be further enhanced.
The third upgrade was to the quill pen that had made great contributions. The moment the upgrade was completed, the quill pen's originally worn-out shaft became smooth and lustrous, and the tattered gray feathers on it became full and neat again.
The last thing to be upgraded was the practice crucible given to you when you joined the school. With the upgrade, the originally rough black pottery crucible became crystal clear like glass, and even its capacity doubled.
The upgrades to the four facilities in succession depleted Li Ang's own mental energy and the mental energy stored in his ring, forcing him to pause the upgrades and begin meditating to recover.
After finishing his meditation, he upgraded the [Leather Inner Armor] and the three rings to Lv5. With all the equipment around him upgraded, Li Ang carefully sensed his spiritual connection with them and soon discovered that this change in appearance was controllable.
With a mere thought, he could restore them to their original, unadorned, and even somewhat dilapidated state before the upgrade.
"It seems that after the facilities are upgraded to a certain stage, the essential improvement is also reflected in their appearance, but fortunately, it can be hidden..."
With a slight thought, Li Ang turned off the appearance changes of the three rings, making them look exactly the same as before.
After all, the ring was a gift from Eve, Lottie, and Celia. If its appearance were changed, it would be quite troublesome to explain. It's better to keep it as it is.
By this time, it was already bright outside the window. Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease as he looked at his brand-new equipment.
After finishing his morning classes, Li Ang went to the public task area and accepted a task to copy the "Second-Level Spellbook".
Then he bought a thick stack of parchment and two bottles of ink, as these consumables were always used up very quickly, whether he was copying spells or writing novels.
The reason Li Ang accepted the copying task again was that although his self-created Replication Technique was incredibly powerful, he planned to keep it as a trump card.
Therefore, he needs to learn a few common level 2 spells to improve his regular combat power. His mental power has been amplified by the spring water, so theoretically he can already cast spells beyond his level.
Moreover, the increased insights gained from copying with the quill pen allow him to further deepen his mastery of magic, thereby comprehensively enhancing his own strength.
After putting the parchment back in his dormitory and meditating for a while, Li Ang rushed to the law enforcement team to report for duty.
Today, the eighth squad is responsible for the afternoon patrol.
As soon as Li Ang stepped into the squad's base, he sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
Captain Eric, Miguel, Remus, and Elisa had all arrived, and none of them looked as relaxed as usual.
Seeing Li Ang enter, Captain Eric looked around and spoke in a deep voice:
"Everyone's here. I have an announcement to make: the 12th squad went out of the tower on a mission a week ago, but lost contact three days ago and is now considered missing."
Everyone felt a chill. The disappearance of the entire squad was a rare occurrence in the century-long history of the law enforcement team, and each time it was accompanied by a tragedy.
Captain Eric continued, "The higher-ups have decided to immediately dispatch three teams to conduct a joint search and rescue mission. Our Eighth Team has been selected to participate in this operation."
His gaze swept across each team member's face, his tone serious:
"The danger of this mission is unknown, and we may encounter a formidable enemy. This afternoon's patrol will proceed as scheduled. After it concludes, everyone should prepare accordingly. We will assemble at 6:00 AM tomorrow morning on the 12th floor, Platform 1."
"Yes!" the crowd responded in unison, their voices tinged with suppressed emotion.
The afternoon patrol was completed in a silent atmosphere. Even Miguel, who was usually talkative, focused on clearing the monsters in his field of vision without saying a word.
After finishing his patrol, Li Ang immediately returned to his dormitory. He first replenished all kinds of medicines in his medicine kit, especially healing and antidotes, the more the better.
Then he spread out the parchment and began copying the "Secondary Spellbook" with his newly upgraded quill pen.
As he copied, the various casting techniques and transformations of level-two spells clearly entered his mind, deepening his understanding of these spells. The copying continued until late at night before Li Ang finally went to sleep.
The next morning, Li Ang packed his things, inserted his wand, ran his fingers over his inner armor and ring, and after confirming that everything was ready, he arrived at the twelfth-floor flying platform.
Unlike Platform Six, where we docked on our last trip to Obsidian City, Platform One appeared much more solemn. In the center of the platform, a smaller airship with more sleek and sharp lines was moored.
The hull is dark black, with countless defensive arrays embedded in the iron hull, but the most eye-catching feature is the thick cannon barrel at the bow, which looks to be about 200 millimeters long.
In addition to the main gun at the bow, there are twelve smaller gun barrels distributed on both sides of the hull.
Li Ang was deeply shocked and focused his attention on it.
[Magic Cannon]
[Status: Bindable]
[Binding Cost: 20 Spirit Points]
Li Ang chose to bind without hesitation, since he didn't know what he might encounter on this mission, and it was always good to have an extra layer of protection.
Having established a preliminary mental connection with the magic cannon, a series of information feedback came back, and Li Ang learned that the magic cannon consisted of one main cannon and twelve secondary cannons.
The main cannon's charged shot is comparable to that of a level four high-level wizard, while the twelve secondary cannons are comparable to that of a level two wizard.
