Chapter 929: Chapter 367: Millionaire
“To have the combat power of an Awakener… that’s quite impressive!”
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
As he watched Xiang Hongbin undergoing the test, Wang Tao felt a bit amazed.
Awakeners could awaken abilities that ranged from strong to weak, bizarre to diverse, but after awakening, they were invariably stronger than ordinary ability users!
So far, Wang Tao had never seen anyone with the strength of a Level 3 ability user tough it out against a fourth-order Awakener.
Xiang Hongbin was currently only Level 3. If he could exert the combat power of an Awakener with a Level 3 physique, then Wang Tao could only say that this prosthetic body modification was truly awesome!
Moreover, Wang Tao suddenly thought of a question. If Xiang Hongbin could now possess the combat power of a fourth-order Awakener, what would happen if he awakened again?
...
Xiang Hongbin did have hidden attributes, and the hardest condition for awakening had already been met…
Wang Tao thought it was worth a try!
As for the consumption of Crystal Core Energy, Wang Tao thought it was not a big deal. As the saying goes, “Nothing that can be solved with money is a problem”—the real trouble starts when money is not enough.
…
The tests for Xiang Hongbin were extensive and took some time.
Many of the tests required physical strength, but Xiang Hongbin managed them without breaking a sweat or showing any strain, making it seem very casual.
Qu Shilin was a bit curious about where Xiang Hongbin’s limits were, but considering that his entire body was experimental and she had no replacements if something went wrong… she decided against pushing him further, opting to take it slow in the future.
After all the tests were complete, an hour had passed.
“Wang Tao!”
Xiang Hongbin walked over with a big laugh and hugged Wang Tao again. This time he was careful about his strength—it was just a hug like any ordinary person would give.
When he had awakened earlier, he was still a bit groggy. His mind was heavy and fuzzy, and although he could recognize people, he was a bit slow, as if he hadn’t fully woken up. Now, after warming up, he felt a lot clearer and utterly refreshed.
“Old He, how does it feel?”
Wang Tao asked, smiling as he patted his shoulder.
“Great, I’ve never felt this good before! When I used prosthetics before, they were just tools. Now… we are one! This isn’t a tool—it’s my hands and feet! This feeling is really exhilarating!”
Xiang Hongbin was both excited and moved.
Those who had never been disabled couldn’t understand his feelings at this moment. The sense from these prosthetics was far beyond ordinary value.
Especially since he not only regained the ability to move freely, but more importantly, his combat power was restored and even enhanced!
From now on, he was no longer a burden; he could go out and fight!
“Wang Tao, shall we practice together later?”
Xiang Hongbin suddenly grinned and spoke.
He didn’t think he could beat Wang Tao, but he felt he knew Wang Tao well enough. Practicing with Wang Tao would give him a rough idea of his own level.
Just looking at these data… he couldn’t understand them, or he didn’t know what they meant, and he always believed in actual combat. Data and such didn’t matter to him.
“Sure!”
Wang Tao was also looking forward to seeing Xiang Hongbin’s combat capabilities.
“Then, when you guys spar, can I also come to watch?”
Qu Shilin eagerly watched Wang Tao and Xiang Hongbin from the side.
“Of course.”
Wang Tao nodded with a smile.
“Thank you!”
Qu Shilin quickly thanked him and then went on to give Wang Tao a detailed introduction to the specific functions of Xiang Hongbin’s prosthetic body.
Xiang Hongbin’s body had two types of power sources: one was his own physical strength, and the other was powered by the Crystal Core. Naturally, both could be used together.
Using his own physical strength, although still stronger than the previous prosthetics, couldn’t manifest his full strength. It would need to be combined with the Crystal Core Energy.
Besides the enhancement of his physical attributes, Xiang Hongbin’s prosthetics could also support a variety of custom weapons, including both melee and Crystal-powered Weapons. The specific Crystal-powered Weapons were not available yet, but Qu Shilin said they would soon be produced and equipped for Xiang Hongbin.
Of course, using Crystal-powered Weapons would involve greater energy consumption…
Furthermore, Xiang Hongbin’s senses were also greatly enhanced, such as hearing enhancement, the ability to receive radio signals, and so on. The most significant improvement was his mechanical prosthetic eye that emitted blue light!
This prosthetic eye was one of the most advanced technologies currently available at the research institute. It had features like telescopic, night vision, infrared, surveillance, projection, and more, with further upgrades possible in the future.
It was somewhat similar to the functions of powered armor, but while the current powered armor was a first-generation product, this was considered a second-generation product. Whether in terms of size, portability, or various functions, the second generation was superior to the first.
Wang Tao felt a bit envious as he listened. He could also see in the dark, but his eyes didn’t have nearly as many functions.
He was most interested in the projection feature. It was a holographic projection technology; Xiang Hongbin’s blue eyes could project some 3D images, such as video surveillance or video calls. It seemed quite advanced.
“This mechanical prosthetic eye is currently the only finished product. However, we have now mastered the key technology and are preparing for mass production. The only issue is that not many people are eligible to use it…”
Qu Shilin said somewhat helplessly, shaking her head.
The biggest problem now was that only those with strong physical qualities and willpower were suitable for prosthetic body modification; most people couldn’t undergo the modification, and forced modifications could lead to death… When this limitation is resolved, it could truly become widespread, and the overall strength of the base would also be enhanced.
