End of the World: My Items Can Be Upgraded Infinitely.

Chapter 2 Item Upgrade System, Defeat the Red Beetle

"Sister-in-law, your sister-in-law!"

Lin Feng turned around and glanced at the woman behind him.

She was about 26 or 27 years old, more than a decade younger than Lin Youzhi. Her tear-stained forehead and makeup revealed her youthfulness, and it was obvious that she had just graduated from school...

Although he felt very sorry for Sister-in-law Yu Rou, Lin Feng still wanted to mention that Lin Youzhi's taste was indeed good.

The woman was about 1.78 meters tall when wearing high heels, with her straight and slender legs wrapped in black suspender stockings, paired with a professional hip skirt and white shirt, as well as long wavy hair and half-frame glasses, giving her the demeanor of an office beauty.

But now is not the time to appreciate elegance. Lin Feng needs to obtain information and understand the situation as soon as possible.

Naturally, he didn't have a good face towards her.

Especially this guy, he even wanted to use Lin Youzhi's last words to morally blackmail himself.

Lin Feng never buys into this.

The woman was frightened by the young man's words, especially the fierceness in his eyes, and she dared not say a word.

Lin Feng wiped the blood off the gun and waved it in front of the woman to make sure she couldn't see the translucent words floating on it.

"Let's go! Go upstairs first. You have one minute to organize your words and then tell me what happened outside!"

Then he turned around and took out his phone to call the police, but unfortunately the line was always busy, and the same was true for the fire and rescue operations.

The woman swallowed her saliva and glanced out the gate. The huge red beetles were becoming more and more numerous, and they were engaging in a hunting spree in the community...

An office worker riding an electric scooter was eaten.

Amid the screams, the woman, with trembling feet, stepped on her high heels and hurried to keep up with the man.

The residential building in the old neighborhood has only six floors, with two households on each floor and no elevator. Lin Feng's home is in Room 301 on the third floor, opposite his sister-in-law Zhang Yurou's home.

Along the way, Lin Feng stared at the gun in his hand and pondered the words that appeared in front of him over and over again.

Come to the door of Room 301 and open it to enter.

After the door was closed, the beautiful woman sat down on the ground as if exhausted, tightened her neck, and hugged her legs to relieve her inner fear.

Lin Feng hurriedly closed the window, drew the curtains, then walked into the kitchen and took out an old kitchen knife that had not been used for thousands of years and a fruit knife.

This scene frightened the woman, and she quickly spoke:
"My name is Chen Yanyan..."

"She is Mr. Lin's assistant secretary and his wife..."

Lin Feng ignored her and stared at the kitchen knife in his hand.

「Rusty kitchen knife lv1/9, white quality」

"Upgrade points: 0/10, damage 1, severe wear and tear"

"Evaluation: Low-level melee weapon, low sharpness, but mixed with infection and weakness damage. Hit the target and gain upgrade points."

"Bind it as equipment to activate character attributes."

As for the small fruit knife, there was no reaction.

I guess it's because the damage is too low and the quality is not up to standard.

Lin Feng threw away the kitchen knife, looked at the gun in his hand, and silently recited "bind". This was the most powerful weapon at the moment.

"Binding, waiting for data to be read..."

While waiting, he turned his gaze to see Chen Yanyan in front of him, who had fallen to the ground with weak legs. The woman curled up in fear with tears in her eyes.

"Tell me, what happened outside?"

Chen Yanyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and pursed her lips:

"We were supervising the construction site. When we dug a deep foundation pit, countless giant bugs suddenly emerged. They were the same ones outside! They attacked the employees crazily... Mr. Lin drove me away, but we were attacked by two bugs on the way. He fired several shots in a row to drive them away, but he was bitten in the abdomen by the bugs. In the end, he insisted on driving here..."

"Yes, I'm sorry. I thought you were Mr. Lin's subordinate at first..."

Lin Feng stared at his phone and ignored the woman.

Although the signal was poor at this time, there was still one bar, which was enough to refresh some real-time news.

Rows of red headlines appeared, shocking:
《Alert! Major coastal cities around the world are attacked by unknown insect-like creatures! 》

《Emergency notice from the federal government! Residents in coastal areas please evacuate as soon as possible and flee inland!》

"An unknown giant monster is coming! Suspected alien life is invading the blue planet!"

Unfortunately the images cannot be loaded, only the text.

The signal became worse and worse as he went further down. Looking at the loading symbol that kept spinning in circles, Lin Feng sighed and put away his phone.

At this time, the woman in front of him asked cautiously:

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Lin's relative?"

Lin Feng looked up at the woman and nodded:

"Have you ever seen a solar eclipse in the sky before?"

Chen Yanyan hummed in confusion:
"It was after it got dark that the giant bugs appeared on the construction site. Hundreds of us all looked at the disappearing sun."

"Could it be... that the appearance of monsters is related to the solar eclipse?" Lin Feng frowned slightly and shook his head. It seemed that only he had loaded the additional system. There was no change for others, and the floating labels on the items could not be seen.

After confirming this, the text that appeared in my eyes was bound and read:

"Item upgrade system loading completed"

"Lin Feng, lv0/9"

"HP 10, Vt 6, SPR 8"

"Equipment: Low-quality pistol lv1/9, white quality"

「Initial skills: Upgrade, Identify」

While browsing, Lin Feng felt a warm current flowing into his body from the small pistol in his hand, and then his level +1, health +2, and constitution +1.

"Lin Feng, lv1/9"

"HP 12, Vt 7, SPR 8"

It seems that after the bound items become equipment, the character attributes will be strengthened and upgraded at the same time as the equipment is upgraded.

Fortunately, it is bound to a pistol. If I had a kitchen knife, it would not be so easy to obtain upgrade points.

Lin Feng twisted his neck, and his body felt a lot lighter. He could feel the obvious increase in his internal strength.

Then he looked at Chen Yanyan in front of him and used the identification skill:
"Human, lv0/9"

"HP 7, Vt 4, SPR 7"

"A weak human female who is not only beautiful but also has some brains."

Such a weak woman.

Lin Feng slowly stood up and prepared to walk to the window to identify the data attributes of the giant insect to see if there was any chance to sneak a few shots.

Just then, a scream suddenly came from outside the door.

Lin Feng's expression changed. It was Sister Yu Rou's voice!

He hurried to the door and looked outside through the peephole. His sister-in-law Yu Rou across the street was trying desperately to close the door, while a giant red insect two meters long and one meter wide was stuck at the door, trying to get through the crack.

After confirming that there were no other giant insects nearby, Lin Feng quietly opened the door, stuck out his gun, turned on the safety, then aimed at the target and pulled the trigger, all in one go!
"boom!"

Fortunately, Lin Feng had touched a gun several times during military training at university. Although he had no chance to fire live ammunition, the instructor had introduced the steps for firing a gun.

While firing the bullet, Lin Feng also identified the data attributes of the giant insect:
"Red Beetle, lv3/9"

"HP 30, Vt 8, SPR 2"

"The lowest level engineer of the Zerg, responsible for digging nests and collecting food. Low attack power but high defense power."

With thirty health points, it would take ten hits with a low-quality pistol to kill it completely.

A bullet was fired and hit the red beetle's hind legs, breaking the joints. It lost its balance and tilted sideways, unable to exert any force to drill inside.

Zhang Yurou seized the opportunity and closed the door decisively.

The Red Beetle lost its target and, following the sound of gunfire, turned around and rushed towards Room 301.

Lin Feng saw that its health value had dropped to 27, and immediately shot again.

But this time, he aimed at the head of the red beetle facing him and hit it three times in a row!

Bang, bang, bang! The bullets were only two or three meters away, but their power did not diminish at all, splashing blood all over the Scarlet Beetle's head.

At this time, one of the red beetle's compound eyes was shot blind, and half of its head was completely damaged. It let out a hissing sound, quickly turned around and fled downstairs.

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and shot at the bug again.

Because the distance between them was longer, the bullet only left a dent when it hit the thick fiery red carapace.

The red beetle's health points were only reduced by 1, and its defense was very strong.

But fortunately, Lin Feng's three consecutive shots hit the insect's brain, producing a critical hit effect and doubling the damage, causing the red beetle's health points to plummet by 18. This made it feel its life was threatened and it fled in shame.

When Lin Feng closed the door, a prompt appeared in his field of vision:
"Low-quality pistol lv1/9, white quality"

「升级点:13/10，伤害3，有效射程15米，剩余子弹1/12」

"Poor quality pistols can be upgraded!"

Lin Feng looked at the pistol and nodded secretly.

He fired five shots, but received 7 upgrade points.

It seems that only by causing 3 basic damage can you get the corresponding upgrade points. Among them, the critical hit of the three shots to the head will produce double damage, and the upgrade points will also be doubled. The damage of the last shot is negligible, so no upgrade points are accounted for.

The pistol was still being upgraded. Lin Feng looked at the only bullet left and felt a little worried. So he opened the door, leaving a crack, and shouted to the door opposite:

"Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law! The bug has run away!"

Seeing the door of Room 302 open, Lin Feng left home, looked back at the woman hiding in the house, bent down to pick up the insect claws that had fallen on the ground, and walked towards the opposite side.

Chen Yanyan hid behind the bedroom door, gritted her teeth, and finally moved and kept up with the man.
