Both upgrade options had their own pros and cons. The first option was cheaper and faster, with clear advantages after the upgrade. The second option was more expensive, adding an electric device to increase the speed of the shot.
"Which one to choose?" Liam looked at the spear in front of him, a little hesitant.
In his heart, he actually preferred the second option. After all, being able to use an electric device in this era where everyone was still rubbing stones would definitely be a qualitative change.
"I choose the first one!" Liam remembered the description of the chameleon in the illustrated book.
Although this kind of chameleon increased its camouflage ability after mutation, it sacrificed its own mobility.
Compared to the speed of the shot obtained for 40 points, the first type was obviously more cost-effective.
Moreover, if the electric device needed to be charged... There was not even a vent in the base now, and the only way to charge it was by friction.
As Liam thought about it, the spear in front of him gradually took on a new color under the system's transformation.
The red and yellow wood color was obviously not a metal or stone material.
[Tungsten Spear]: A brand new wooden spear, with fine texture, its pattern like a floating swan, as hard as iron, and its lethality is very impressive.
"It's actually tungsten wood!" Liam was surprised and delighted when he saw the attributes.
Tungsten wood was one of the most precious woods, and it was a rare and good material for making cold weapons.
Compared with metal, the toughness of this wood was even more valuable for a person who had no combat experience.
The fact that 5 survival points could evolve such a degree of wood made Liam once again realize the power of the system.
"Now all I need is a set of armor. You can't get hurt in this kind of wilderness!" Liam opened the trading panel and started browsing.
On the 2nd day of the apocalypse, after a day, many people were forced to go to the wild to survive and explore.
Although not many people found treasure chests, due to the base of tens of billions, there were still some armors on the trading panel.
"I don't have to buy the best, I have a system, maybe I can buy it back and try to evolve it." Liam thought to himself as he looked around.
There was still 100ml of water in stock now, and when he went out at noon, he could probably save about 200ml.
The purchasing power of this water could currently buy a slightly simple and heavy pottery armor on the market.
Pottery armor was not dominant when facing large creatures, but when dealing with some small creatures, it was not bad because of the material.
After making up his mind, he waited until noon when the sun was at its hottest.
Liam first took out 200ml to buy the pottery armor, and then spent 50ml to buy back 300g of bread.
After eating the bread and drinking 50ml of water with the remaining pear, Liam's state was fully restored at this time.
Compared with the chameleon squatting on the dry ground and waiting, Liam's attack at this time was precisely to thoroughly implement the core idea of "the enemy is tired, I fight".
"Wait, wait, wait a little longer." Liam took out the monster illustrated book and scanned it again to confirm that the chameleon was still there. He pressed his temper and began to take out the armor.
Pieces of khaki tiles were interspersed with unknown cotton threads, protecting the main parts of the body and legs according to their shapes.
[Worn Pottery Armor]
Upgrade direction 1: Increase defense, upgrade pottery materials, strengthen overall strength, need survival points (5 points)
Upgrade direction 2: Upgrade the overall material, transform the plasticity, the output will be different according to the input materials, and the direct upgrade requires survival points (60)
Evaluation: This armor should not be worn by you in battle, maybe it is best placed in a museum.
As usual, Liam chose to upgrade direction one again.
The light flashed.
The originally worn armor suddenly became shiny all over, and a strange smell could be smelled from it.
[Hunter's Pottery Armor]: Excellent material, neat routing, considerable defense, unique hidden grass smell, can mask the hunter's body odor.
After putting on the improved pottery armor with difficulty, Liam felt confident.
The importance of weapons and armor in the last days was self-evident.
"Now let's see where you run, you beast!" Liam opened the base door, holding a spear in both hands like holding a gun in a TV series, striding towards the chameleon.
Yesterday's felling made this bush a mess.
There were dry leaves everywhere on the ground, blocking the view, making it difficult to see the exact location of the chameleon.
But it didn't matter.
After silently calling the monster illustrated book to scan again, a line of prompts popped up.
[A mutant camouflage chameleon was detected 19 meters away from the player. The danger factor is 65. Please be careful]
[Today's times 0/3]
In his field of vision, Liam finally saw the chameleon clearly for the first time.
Instead of lying on the ground, this cunning chameleon happened to be lying on the first tree that had not been cut down.
If Liam hadn't found out today, when he was cutting down the tree, the chameleon would have attacked and he would definitely have been hit.
Finding the enemy, Liam held back his steps and pretended to look at it casually.
"I don't know if this beast has any intelligence, but it's better to be careful." Liam walked slowly, and when he was about two meters away, he suddenly exploded at the fastest speed and rushed towards the chameleon.
The drooping tung wood spear in his hand was lifted up and pointed straight ahead.
The chameleon lying on the tree also seemed to realize that its camouflage had been exposed, and quickly tried to adjust its position.
Unfortunately, the heavy reaction speed did not allow it to make any dodging movements.
Rush, stab, turn!
A set of operations was done smoothly!
Although it was the first attack and the accuracy was not high, it did not hit the head, but the tip of the tung wood spear still accurately pierced the center of the chameleon's body.
A touch of green blood was brought up and dripped on the bark below, emitting a burnt smell!
Seeing such a strong poison, Liam pulled out the tung wood spear and retreated decisively.
The chameleon, which had been pierced with a bowl-sized hole, began to go mad in severe pain.
The constant blood loss had completely lost its mind, and it began to attack the surroundings angrily.
Green venom was continuously sprayed from the chameleon's mouth, and the scene within three meters was extremely terrifying.
"Hiss... This venom is really strong." Liam looked down while waiting, and his scalp tingled.
The tip of the tung wood spear was now covered with large and small pores, like ice meeting fire, melting rapidly.
After silently putting the tung wood spear aside, Liam lay on the ground and rubbed out another wooden spear with the game panel, spending 5 survival points to evolve again.
When the evolution was complete, the chameleon on the other side seemed to be exhausted.
It began to lie limp on the ground, looking as if it was dead.
Liam, who was lying on the ground in the distance, raised his eyebrows and continued to wait patiently.
Judging from the information I learned from the chat channel yesterday, whenever a monster was killed, a resource box would definitely drop.
If he hadn't seen this news, he might have foolishly gone up to make up for it.
Now that he knew, the chameleon's feigning death became useless.
Sure enough, after a minute.
The chameleon on the ground was furious and began to twitch. After three to five seconds of continuous spraying, it fell to the ground with a snap.
Seizing the opportunity, Liam threw the tung wood spear that had been corroded beyond recognition, and it landed right next to the chameleon.
The chameleon, which had returned to the light, wanted to continue spraying venom.
However, when it looked up and saw that it was a wooden spear, it let out a mournful cry and fell heavily to the ground.
This time, the chameleon was completely lifeless.
At this time, the green venom on the ground was also rapidly disappearing, and with a burst of dazzling light from the chameleon's body, after the light ended, a silver-white treasure chest appeared on the spot!
"It's actually a silver treasure chest, this time I'm really rich!" Looking at the treasure chest in front of him, Liam was ecstatic, wishing he could just rush over and open it to see what was inside.
