Chapter 5: Enhancement Serum? Arsenal?!
“What kind of items are in the store?”
With this thought, Lin Wendong focused his mind: “Open the store.”
The panel before his eyes shifted, revealing an interface resembling a game shop.
Each grid displayed various products, with the required currency amount indicated below.
Lin Wendong’s gaze landed on one box:
[P90 Handgun – Price: 100 currency units]
At that moment, his pupils sharply contracted.
“P90 handgun?”
[AK47 Assault Rifle – Price: 1000 currency units]
[RPG Rocket Launcher – Price: 5000 currency units]
[…]
There was a dazzling array of weapons in the grids. Lin Wendong’s lips twitched slightly. Although the prices for these arms were cheap—one might even say cheaper than wholesale—he dared not exchange for any.
The reason was clear!
In this world, China also banned firearms and strictly regulated military weapons!
“Wendong, why does your face look so dark?” Lin Yaodong glanced at him and asked.
The latter waved his hand: “Nothing, nothing.”
He also noticed tanks and fighter jets in the system’s store, and even something resembling an aircraft carrier!
However, their required currency values were astronomical!
Rubbing his forehead with two fingers, Lin Wendong then turned his attention to the lottery.
[Lottery: 10,000 currency units per draw.]
That was the brief description.
Lin Wendong pondered for a moment, then silently resolved: “Recharge 50,000 currency units into the system.”
He used his own account, not tapping into the village’s communal funds.
The over 600,000 yuan he had borrowed online immediately decreased by 50,000, converting into 50,000 currency units.
----------------------------------------
“Draw once.”
[Congratulations, host has obtained item: Enhanced Serum]
“Enhanced Serum?” Lin Wendong’s eyes brightened upon reading these words. Immediately, he thought of Captain America from the Marvel movies!
That hero became so formidable thanks to the enhanced serum.
“I wonder if it works the same way here? If so, I won’t even want to eat beef anymore!”
----------------------------------------
[Enhanced Serum ×1 has been placed into your personal space. The host may retrieve it at any time.]
[Items obtained through lottery can be exchanged later in the store.]
“Personal system too?” Lin Wendong nodded. This system was truly generous!
Seeing the remaining 40,000 currency units, Lin Wendong didn’t hesitate and went all in.
[None]
[None]
Two consecutive draws yielded nothing; Lin Wendong’s forehead darkened.
[Congratulations, host has obtained skill: Master of Combat]
[Congratulations, host has obtained skill: Firearms Proficiency]
As the mechanical voice rang out, Lin Wendong’s body trembled.
Various combat techniques and firearm usage methods flooded into his mind, as if they were innate memories!
Clenching his left fist, he instinctively visualized various martial arts moves in his mind.
‘Master’ —
In today’s impatient and restless age, these two characters had become quite rare.
Being regarded as a master in any field was already a remarkable feat!
A combat master, no less!
Now Lin Wendong felt confident that not only ten ordinary people, but even twenty or thirty, would be no match for him!
With the enhanced serum, even more ordinary people would be powerless against him!
----------------------------------------
Firearms proficiency, as the name suggests.
Even though Lin Wendong had never handled a gun before, with this skill, he could expertly wield any firearm given to him!
“Is this system really pushing me to become the master of Earth?”
Time passed slowly. The queue at the village square stretched from morning till evening.
“That’s enough for today. We’ll continue tomorrow.”
Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Yaodong announced.
Having spent a whole day, only a quarter of the villagers had managed to complete their online loan applications!
On one hand, the village population was large, and on the other, there were many platforms to apply through.
With so many attempts, others became alert, and the loan approval speed slowed down.
Many applications even failed!
Uncle Dong instructed that those who hadn’t gotten their turn must go home and rest, and return the next day.
“Everyone worked hard today. Go home early.”
----------------------------------------
Lin Wendong nodded and headed toward his house.
His residence was a two-story dwelling, somewhat aged on the outside with very simple interior decoration.
Still, it was among the better buildings in the village!
Once inside his room, Lin Wendong immediately locked the door and closed all windows. After confirming safety, he took out the enhanced serum he had drawn.
Looking at the red liquid in the syringe, he swallowed hard.
Then, gritting his teeth, he injected it into his arm.
Instantly!
His skin flushed red, as if wisps of white steam were rising from his body!
Feeling the changes within, Lin Wendong’s expression twisted into a grimace.
----------------------------------------
After a moment, the redness began to fade.
He appeared transformed compared to before!
His originally slender frame had filled out; eight striking abdominal muscles and two bulging pectoral muscles emerged.
He looked like a walking embodiment of raw virility!
Years of studying law had caused slight nearsightedness, but now his vision was incredibly sharp!
Sensing the surging power inside, Lin Wendong took a deep breath and threw a punch.
“Bang!”
The wooden cabinet before him shattered under his fist, splinters flying everywhere.
“My strength now is at least five to six times that of an ordinary person!”
Lin Wendong marveled inwardly. Now, coupled with the Master of Combat skill, he truly could handle any number of ordinary men!
However… no matter how strong he was, he still couldn’t withstand a single AK bullet.
…
After adapting to his new body, Lin Wendong opened the village’s communal account.
The villagers had spent the day applying for online loans; half of the proceeds belonged to individuals, and half went into the communal fund, which now held several tens of millions!
“If I convert all these tens of millions into currency units…”
Calculating in his mind, Lin Wendong realized that with such funds, equipping the village with military hardware was entirely feasible…
At that thought, he dared not continue imagining.
If he armed the village at 5:00, and the Dongfeng missiles arrived by 5:05… it would be overwhelming!
