Mark 47
Template: Rare, Iron Man Armor
Module: 0/3
Attributes: Strength 9, Agility 8, Constitution 10, Intelligence 5 (The Iron Armor currently does not have an Intelligence attribute; this attribute is inherited from the controller, Huang Hong).
Skills: None (corresponding skills can be generated based on equipment modules)
Rare Template: All attributes +1
Iron Armor Template: Strength and Constitution +1, Defense increased by an additional 150%.
(Note: The displayed attributes are the final result after all enhancements have been applied.)
The fixed attributes of the Iron Man armor alone are enough to crush Huang Hong in his current state.
For example, in terms of strength, the Iron Man armor has 9 points, while Huang Hong has 5 points. This 4-point difference translates to a five-fold increase in actual effectiveness.
Not to mention a constitution of 10 points, it truly possesses the strength of steel.
In addition, the "Iron Armor" template adds the attribute of "Defense Strength Increased by 150%", making it incredibly tough.
Isn't a man's pursuit simply about size or hardness?
Of course, it would be even better if it were both big and hard!
The only downside is that the Iron Man armor's energy storage efficiency is too low. Even at full energy, it can only be used for 100 seconds. Although this time is enough for a battle, it is still too short.
More importantly, there's the issue of charging. Without an energy module, Huang Hong can only store the Iron Man armor in the enhancement space while it's in a loaded state (not in an armed state) and charge it using his own physical strength and mental energy.
To accomplish this, Huang Hong will likely need to be in a state of prolonged weakness.
Thinking of this, Huang Hong suddenly had a flash of inspiration and looked at Xiao Shi, who was standing blankly not far away.
Without hesitation, Huang Hong directly extracted the [Elemental Core (Earth)] from Xiao Shi's body. Without the core, Xiao Shi's body immediately turned into earth and stone and shattered.
It didn't matter. Huang Hong just wanted to test his idea. Success would be best, but even if he failed, the soil and rocks with extraordinary properties could still be reused.
Huang Hong loaded the Iron Man armor, then took the [Elemental Core (Earth)] and approached the LED light on its chest, which was originally used for decoration.
Suddenly, a strange connection was formed between the two, and the [Elemental Core (Earth)] silently merged into the steel armor.
A stream of information instinctively appeared in Huang Hong's mind...
[Energy module detected, loading initiating... Loading successful...]
[Energy module successfully installed; energy storage efficiency increased by 50%; charging efficiency improved by 1%/36 seconds...]
[Energy module activated, resulting in a slight increase in main body strength and physique, and a minor increase in defensive capabilities...]
[Load energy modules, activate relevant skills... Earth Shock...]
Earth Shock: Consumes 5%~30% of energy to generate an area-of-effect impact. Enemies within the impact area will be damaged and slowed down. The impact range, damage intensity, and slowing effect will increase or decrease based on the energy consumed.
After the energy module was installed, the Iron Man armor's attributes also changed. The energy consumption description became "Consumes 1% energy every 1.5 seconds after activation", which means that the Iron Man armor's endurance has now increased to 150 seconds.
Of course, if a ground impact is used, energy consumption will also increase significantly.
As for the improvement in strength and physique, at least in the display of the extraordinary panel, there is no change.
Recharging no longer requires Huang Hong's own physical and mental energy. As long as the Iron Man armor is placed on the ground, it can be continuously recharged. When the energy is completely depleted, it can be fully recharged in about an hour.
In addition, Huang Hong can also recharge the Iron Man armor as long as he stands on the ground while wearing the Iron Man armor.
In an instant, the Iron Man armor went from being a trump card that couldn't be used easily to a powerful and reliable ultimate move.
Overall, the Iron Man armor's attributes are well worth the energy it consumes.
Next, Huang Hong tried out all the other equipment and items he had on him, but couldn't find a second thing that could be considered a module.
With a satisfied expression, Huang Hong put away the Iron Man armor and went to Xiao Shi's corpse. Without hesitation, he activated his decomposition ability and gained 30 points of source energy.
Next, Huang Hong continued walking into the game exhibition hall. Although he lost his feline elegance because he needed to load the Iron Man armor, his Wild Senses were still working.
All that could be seen were fragments and broken tiles. Huang Hong could vaguely make out which powerful item from which game it came from from some of the fragments.
After circling around a bit, Huang Hong arrived at the center of the game exhibition hall, where the most popular game at the time was naturally displayed... "Black Myth: Wukong" (It's worth mentioning that the author played this game for over sixty hours, got all the achievements, played it all by hand on the first playthrough, and only joined the sect on the second playthrough to collect items).
To Huang Hong's disappointment, the one-to-one replica of the Ruyi Jingu Bang that he had been looking forward to was nowhere to be found. In fact, this was the most severely damaged area, with large cracks all over the ground. Only a few display stands for gourds remained, but they were empty.
This is normal. The gourds in the game are all inlaid with gold and silver, and the ones on display here are all one-to-one replicas made by the game company. They are not only exquisitely crafted, but also look very valuable.
Imagine when chaos begins, order begins to collapse, greed takes over, and naturally some people will seize anything of value around them.
In the initial stages, people's minds had not yet changed, so of course they scrambled for gold and silver. In reality, in the end times, everything else is meaningless; only essential survival supplies are hard currency that never depreciates.
Just as Huang Hong was looking around, he suddenly noticed something was wrong. In fact, from Huang Hong's all-seeing perspective, the giant purple tree had always been emitting a faint purple halo, whether it was the trunk or the roots.
But when he saw a section of the outer root, he was surprised to find that its color was different from the rest.
Huang Hong walked over and used the scabbard of his Tang sword to poke at the root section. He immediately noticed something was wrong. It wasn't that this root section was different from the rest of the place, but that there was an ordinary quality item buried in the gravel below the root. The two colors were superimposed, which caused the change just now.
Moreover, although this item emits a white light, it is completely different from the scattered white light of other ordinary quality items. It is a pure milky white, without any impurities or looseness, just like a piece of soft, fine silk.
Huang Hong's eyes lit up, and he quickly cleared away the rubble to reveal what was underneath—a wooden gourd.
This is precisely the reply tool that every chosen one in Black Myth begins with... the old gourd!
