Chapter 19 The Big One is Coming!
(The Beast Plains have emerged victorious; the outcome is set. Due to the interference of higher-dimensional forces, Huang Hong's fate has been slightly altered, and he will embark on a more correct path.)
Huang Hong remained silent for a while before sighing and resignedly picking up the black cat-ear headdress.
"Thank goodness it's not pink."
The thought flashed through Huang Hong's mind subconsciously, then he shook his head and threw it away, checking its attributes instead.
There's nothing special about its attributes; it just makes people look cuter.
However, Huang Hong was not disappointed. According to his experience, ordinary quality equipment does not have any extraordinary attributes. It will only change when it is strengthened to rare quality.
Without hesitation, Huang Hong enhanced the cat-ear headdress...
Cat ear headband
Affixes: ornaments, head
Quality: Rare
Attribute: When worn, grants "Wild Perception", which increases the base perception threshold and slightly enhances perception ability.
Loading Ability: Feline Grace, granting agility and reflexes comparable to those of a feline.
Huang Hong's face lit up with surprise; the attributes of the [Cat Ear Headwear] were even better than he had expected.
Throwing away his pointless sense of shame, Huang Hong put the cat ear headband on his head and immediately felt that the world was different. It was as if he had suddenly gained an extra sense and could observe the world around him from more dimensions.
At this moment, the scents emitted by various living things and plants, and even the invisible wind, were presented in a more concrete way in Huang Hong's perception.
Huang Hong summoned Xiao Shi and placed it aside, then switched the loading item to [Cat Ear Headwear].
The next moment, he felt his body become soft and agile. He could now easily perform movements that he would never have been able to do before, and he could walk without making a sound, just like a cat.
When he came to his senses, Huang Hong's expression froze instantly. At this moment, he was on all fours in an extremely "seductive" posture.
Huang Hong believes that if a beautiful woman in tight yoga clothes did this pose, she would definitely charm a bunch of perverts, but when he did it himself, he felt so embarrassed that he wished he could just fly to heaven.
Fortunately, Huang Hong was located very close to the giant purple tree, and the nearby shops were all entertainment-related and did not have the supplies needed for survival, so no one saw his embarrassing past.
Expelling the previous thought from his mind, Huang Hong straightened his clothes and began to carefully examine the [cat ear headdress].
Whether it's a sense of wildness or the elegance of a cat, both are quite good for Huang Hong.
Through his wild perception, Huang Hong can easily perceive people and things within a radius of 100 meters. Although the range is not as wide as the earth's veins, it does not have the prerequisites of only being able to activate it while standing on the ground and only being able to perceive life on the ground.
Moreover, the information obtained by wild perception is more detailed. It can even vaguely judge whether other life forms are hostile or benevolent, compare its own strength with its own, and identify its weaknesses.
Needless to say, cats are incredibly elegant; it's well known that their reflexes are seven times faster than humans'...
Okay, those are just internet jokes, scratch that!
Cats can react up to 4 times faster than humans. For a normal human, reacting 10% to 20% faster than others is already enough to create a certain degree of dominance, let alone 400%!
To give a simple example, an ordinary person falling from a height of several meters is likely to injure themselves, but a martial arts master can minimize the impact by using certain force-dissipating techniques.
Cats, when falling from a great height, can react much faster than humans, dissipating the force of the fall in a short period of time to avoid injury.
Of course, the cat's light weight is also the fundamental reason why they are less likely to fall and get injured.
Thinking of this, Huang Hong looked down through the glass railing. He was on the third floor, about eight or nine meters from the first floor. He had a vague feeling that he wouldn't get hurt even if he jumped from here.
Shaking his head to dispel these tedious thoughts, Huang Hong walked lightly toward the game exhibition area.
The Cat's Elegance didn't directly increase Huang Hong's agility attribute, but it directly boosted his strength several times over!
The game exhibition area is an offline event organized by Longteng Plaza in conjunction with several game companies. Here, you can not only try out many new games, but also see various physical props from the games.
Huang Hong's main purpose in coming here was to search for these well-made game props.
When he arrived at the game exhibition hall, his heart sank. The once huge exhibition hall was now mostly filled with a root that was over ten meters long and several meters thick. There were signs of collapse and destruction everywhere, and it seemed that there were hardly any intact items left.
But Huang Hong's eyes quickly lit up. He saw a white light fall in front of the main entrance of the game exhibition hall. That was...
Mark 47!
As a collection of large capital, Longteng Plaza naturally aims for internationalization. A few years ago, before domestic games became popular, the most well-known game and animation IPs internationally were undoubtedly the Marvel series.
Following the trend of the times, Longteng Plaza invested heavily in creating a high-quality replica of the Iron Man armor model, with top-notch workmanship and materials.
This steel armor can even be disassembled and opened to reveal the hollow mechanical structure inside. Of course, no one can actually go inside and wear it; it's just a showpiece.
At this moment, this useless lump of iron, covered in dust, lay on the ground, ignored by everyone.
From Huang Hong's perspective, the steel armor was emitting a mesmerizing white halo.
Huang Hong pounced on it almost immediately. After all, no man (or boy) could resist a mecha! No one could!!
The properties of the ordinary quality steel armor were not unexpected for Huang Hong; it was just a piece of useless scrap metal. But with his "miraculous touch," this piece of scrap metal could...
Suddenly, Huang Hong's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, because he discovered that strengthening the Iron Armor actually required 220 points of source energy!
This quantity is enough to upgrade ten pieces of rare quality equipment/items!
You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of a household; you'll never know how hard it is to earn money and how difficult it is to make a living until you start working.
It should be noted that Huang Hong fought a bloody battle for several hours, narrowly escaping death several times, but only managed to gain a little over two hundred points of source energy.
Even now, Huang Hong only has 445 points of source energy.
According to the pattern that Huang Hong has discovered, the larger the item, the more source energy it consumes when enhancing it, but the enhanced attributes still match its current level.
The Iron Man armor is indeed cool, but if the attributes obtained after enhancement do not satisfy Huang Hong, it would be equivalent to losing half of his wealth. This would be a heavy blow to him at present and would seriously slow down his development.
However, after closing his eyes and pondering for a few breaths, Huang Hong suddenly opened his eyes. There was no more hesitation in his eyes, only determination.
Life is a vast wilderness; it's impossible to always have smooth sailing. Sometimes, it's necessary to take some risks!
Having made up his mind, Huang Hong didn't hesitate and immediately began to enhance the Iron Man armor.
From Huang Hong's perspective, the ordinary quality white light was gradually replaced by green.
When the new attributes of the Iron Man armor were revealed, Huang Hong's lips curled up silently, growing wider and wider!
