Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 289 Max Level Skills!
The last sniper rifle is the primary weapon of the 'Black Gun' squad's snipers.

The probability of obtaining a main weapon is extremely low, it can only be described as quite mystical. Even Li Xia himself once obtained a staff as a main weapon.

It's a pity it wasn't an archer's bow, otherwise it would have been a real windfall.

[Nexus Sniper Rifle]

[Grade: Purple (Tier 3)]

【Origin: Superstring Space, Production Workshop 31001】

[Durability: 60/60]

Ammo Capacity: 12/12

Damage Intensity: 8 (15.44mm Self-Sharpening Round)

[Attack: 100 (15.44mm self-sharpening bullet)]

[Equipment Requirements: Strength 20, Constitution 20]

Recoil-based firing: The direction of recoil can be adjusted via the brakes and pressure relief device, allowing for a rapid backward leap.
Smart firearms: Automatically calculate the trajectory and mark the path and impact point with indicator lines.

Rotary magazine: can be loaded with different types of bullets, and can be switched as needed. Each ammunition switch takes 1 second.

Secondary acceleration: The initial velocity of metal ammunition increases by 50%.
[Description: This is a ferocious beast with an astonishing appetite. If you can satisfy its hunger, its fangs will make its enemies feel true pain!]

It's a pretty good sniper rifle, but unfortunately it suffers from the common problem of sniper rifles: it gets saturated with bullets.

Furthermore, a portion of the power is in the bullet, which is a weakness of long-range attacks.

We must reserve a certain amount of arrows and ammunition.

This is fair; ranged techniques upgrade quickly and consume fewer resources.

Li Xia stroked the sniper rifle, which had a somewhat futuristic appearance, and the scope was not the common cylindrical shape, but a square one.

The matte finish of the gun exuded a murderous aura.

"Boss, should we keep it for ourselves?"

Li Xia hesitated for a moment, then let out a long yawn:
"Let's see if we can exchange it tomorrow. I reckon the ammunition for this gun isn't cheap, so let's see."

At this moment, a deep sense of weariness, along with the relaxation of body and mind, surged up.

Li Xia glanced at the newly hatched Aowu, then at the blood and tears streaming down Black Charcoal's body from the evolution of its eyes.

They simply took one in each hand and headed towards the bathroom.

"No, I just hatched, I'm clean! Clean—oh~~~~ Is this what hot water feels like?"
Cool!"

The egg was filled with hot water, and the little dragon was so comfortable that even its whiskers stretched out.

"Meow!"

The kitten's aversion to water is innate, but Li Xia still managed to hold it down and cover it in bubbles.

After washing himself clean, Li Xia took off all his clothes and lay down on the bed. He was immediately enveloped by a strong sense of sleepiness.

He fell into a deep sleep, and the night passed without incident.

Li Xia opened her eyes, removed the black charcoal from her chest, then frowned, noticing the sheets were wet.

Looking up, I saw a small cloud floating above the bed, with a light drizzle dripping from it.

Awoo's head rested on the edge of the eggshell, a mysterious smile on its face, as if it were dreaming about something.

It's definitely not a good dream!
Never mind, I'll let Awoo handle it himself later. I thoughtfully picked up the black charcoal and placed it in the wettest spot.

Li Xia put on his clothes and went out, concealing his merits and fame.

I had only walked a few steps when I heard noises coming from inside the house.

"Meow!"

The black charcoal emitting a highly penetrating cry followed by a hissing sound.

"Hey, stop scratching! Stop scratching!"

Stepping onto the terrace, shutting out the noise, Li Xia stood in a static posture with his hands clasped behind his back and his eyes closed amidst the falling snowflakes.

Afterwards, they practiced a few more rounds of boxing. The rising heat caused the snowflakes to melt quickly before they even got close, turning them into wisps of steam.

As time went on, the steam grew thicker and thicker, surrounding him like a fairyland.

When he got back, Aowu was already rubbing the red marks on his face and throwing the sheet into the dryer.

The black charcoal next to it was licking its fur while glaring and howling.

"Are you going with us to strengthen our defenses, or will you go later?"

"I still need to air out the blankets. Let's buy a housekeeping robot, the kind that sells the best."

The Temple of Light possesses incredible power, but it is not a nanny; the apostles are responsible for their own daily lives.

You can't spend points to have the Temple of Light wash your sheets and clothes; you can only buy related appliances.

The template they chose includes a complete set of furniture and appliances, but its sophistication is only average, at most about ten years more advanced than reality.

So housekeeping robots are indeed quite popular.

After thinking for a while, Li Xia simply transferred 1 points to each of Xiaolong and Xiaomao.

"Okay, you can buy them yourselves later, and keep the rest as pocket money."

Oh, and remember to take down the plantation.

In the last world, a huge sum of money was spent on time acceleration, just to collect materials and make money.

I've collected them several times now; all the skill points I need to strengthen my skills come from this.

The Hall of Light was still as lively as ever.

Soft white light illuminated this place sheltered by the dome day and night, and people in all sorts of costumes walked back and forth on a straight street.

This is a land of miracles, a land of dreams, and a land of despair.

The weak can only struggle in the world, step by step moving towards death.

The strong, however, enjoy adventures in the world and ascend the throne step by step.

Every inch of air here seems to be filled with the blood, tears, and maniacal laughter of the apostles, contradictory and complex, fascinating yet extremely dangerous.

Li Xia walked quietly, emptying his mind and not thinking about anything. When he came to his senses, he was already standing at the entrance of the enhancement hall.

Inside the sliding 'coffin', a pale blue panel emerged.

[Current attribute points: 21, please allocate them, Executioner]

Without any hesitation, Li Xia made the following adjustments.

【Power: 29→33】

[Agility: 29→33]

Intelligence: 28 → 33

【Spirit: 29→33】

[Physique: 29→33]

Just as I clicked "confirm," a blinding light suddenly shone inside the enhancement chamber.

Intense pain surged from every corner of my body; every cell seemed to be wailing, undergoing a transformation under immense force.

Li Xia frowned, and the muscles in her cheeks twitched involuntarily.

I've gotten used to this pain.

Slide the reinforced compartment lid upwards.

White steam billowed from the pressure relief vent, accompanied by a loud hissing sound, and a hand reached through the dense steam to rest on the cool edge of the reinforced chamber.

Li Xia's body was flushed with an unnatural dark red, like a branding iron that had been heated to a scorching heat.

Wisps of blue smoke also drifted into the air from his body.

I clenched my fist tightly and felt my strength increase significantly. Other aspects also improved accordingly, such as my dynamic vision.

After getting used to the changes in his body for a while, Li Xia turned and walked towards the skill enhancement hall.

The two halls are not far apart. In addition, Li Xia also wanted to try the equipment enhancement hall, which is a feature that is only available at Tier 3.

Because I'm new to Tier 3 and short on funds, I didn't consider it in the last world.

But now it's worth a try.

Skill enhancement room number 666 was occupied, so Li Xia had no choice but to go to skill enhancement facility number 667 next door. In the empty room, Li Xia looked at the light blue prompt box floating in front of him.

Before I knew it, I had developed more and more skills.

Please select the skills you wish to improve.

Li Xia looked at his account. After deducting the 20,000 points he gave to Aowu and Heitan, he still had a little over 120,000 Hall Points left.

It was clearly not enough to unleash all my skills, so after thinking about it, I simply pulled up Lancelot's contact from my address book.

"exist?"

"Yes, yes, Brother Xia."

"30 Hall Points, plus payment in medicine, I'll give it to you tomorrow or the day after."

Li Xia thought for a moment, then pasted the panel of the newly acquired Nax sniper rifle back on.

"Use this as collateral."

If you were to sell the Nax sniper rifle, including the premium for Tier 3 equipment, it would fetch around 200,000.

With the remaining 100,000 yuan, Li Xia decided to test whether his reputation was worth that much money.

"30? No problem—"

Lancelot glanced at the stats of the Nax sniper rifle and immediately agreed.

Personal feelings are personal feelings, and business is business. It's not that I don't trust Li Xia, but as the deputy leader, he has to be responsible for the team.

After a simple draft of the agreement, 300,000 Hall Points were quickly transferred to Li Xia's account.

Looking at the 42 Hall Points in his account, Li Xia instantly straightened his back.

It's just a skill, isn't it?

I order!

Upgrading the Sky Blade requires 100 Hall Points. Do you want to pay?

Only 100? Pay up!
Suddenly, the surroundings lit up, and a beam of light from the ceiling of the room enveloped him.

Li Xia felt his muscles trembling uncontrollably, which gradually subsided after a few minutes.

The Sky Blade has been upgraded to Rank 2.

Undeterred, I continued making the payment, and soon a series of prompts appeared.

[Upgraded to Rank 3]

[Upgraded to Rank 4]

[Upgraded to Rank 5]

[Further upgrade requires 300 points. Upgrade now?]

A mere 300 points, let's keep going!

[Upgraded to Rank 8]

[Upgraded to Rank 9]

[Upgraded to Rank 10]

[Further upgrade requires 500 points. Upgrade now?]

I've only spent 2500 points so far, not even enough to buy a companion robot. Let's keep going!

After clicking all the way up to Rank 20, which cost 15000 points, a notification from the Hall of Light suddenly popped up.

The Sky Blade has reached its maximum level and cannot be upgraded through conventional means.

If it can't be improved through conventional means, then there must be other ways to improve it.
[Sky Blade] rank.max
[Skill Type: Control-type Active Ability]

Engraving: Leaving a spiritual imprint on the weapon

Void: Can be manipulated using gestures and mental power; Manipulation increased by 150%.
Skill cost: 50 points

[Summary: In this skill, even Orochimaru isn't as strong as you!]

Following the same method, Li Xia quickly improved his Multiplication Technique and the Shadow Clone Technique of his Hand Swords.

[Multiply Technique] rank.max
Partial multiplication: A portion of the body can be multiplied, and the quality increases accordingly with the multiplication factor.

Cost: 5-200 points, some stamina

Full-body magnification: This allows the body to be enlarged to a certain extent, with the mass increasing accordingly with the magnification factor.

Cost: 100-3000 points, some stamina

Maximum multiplication factor: 30x

[Summary: Hurry up! Okay, you're already as tall as Ultraman now, that's the limit of this skill's potential.]

The improvement in the Multiplication Technique mainly lies in the multiplication factor; it could originally only multiply by five times, but now it can multiply by thirty times.

Furthermore, this skill consumes more points than the Sky Blade, costing nearly 10.

At this moment, Li Xia had accumulated 300,000 points.

Yes, there's still plenty of room. Let's continue!

[Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique] rank.max
Doppelganger: Transforms a projectile into multiple forms to create a lethal entity.

Number of clones: 10 / 5 points (small objects)

Maximum value for clones: 5800 (Intelligence attribute * 200)

Clone damage: Main body * 0.3
[Summary: You've reached the limit in this skill. Taking it a step further might be more difficult than you think.]

The cost of the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique is about the same as that of the Multiply Technique.

In the end, only the Flying Thunder God Technique remained.

Li Xia hesitated as he looked at the Flying Thunder God Technique. At this moment, he still had 3 Time-Space Copper Coins left in his hand.

He originally planned to use these 3 Time-Space Copper Coins to try and reach Skill Limit LV5.

Flying Thunder God Technique.
The gleaming time-space coin flew up and down in his hand. After a while, Li Xia finally caught the coin.

Let's try one first!
After choosing to spend copper coins, a blue light suddenly shot up from the chair.

Immediately afterwards, the room was filled with endless light. Li Xia groaned, feeling his mind gossip and seeing all sorts of strange images.

After it was over, I felt dizzy and lightheaded.

The process is clearly listed on the panel in front of you.

[In the first month, Minato Namikaze and Tobirama Senju begin teaching you the Flying Thunder God Technique, thinking you're an idiot.]

In the second month, you vehemently deny being an idiot and decide to prove yourself, but you are unable to demonstrate the relationship between chakra and spacetime.

In the third month, you diligently studied the theory of chakra nature transformation and resonance, learning why chakra resonance can cause spatial ripples.

In the fourth month, you buried yourself in your studies.

In the fifth month, you buried yourself in your studies.

[In the sixth month, Tobirama Senju thought, "You're a fucking genius!"]

[In the seventh month, you enthusiastically discussed the basic principles of the Flying Thunder God Technique with Minato Namikaze.]

[In the eighth month, you were defeated by 'Moonlight Fleeting Super Wheel Roar - Third Form']

In the ninth month, you buried yourself in your studies.

In the tenth month, you buried yourself in your studies.

[In the eleventh month, you seem to have understood the spatial formula that Minato Namikaze wrote for you.]

In the twelfth month, you realize it was an illusion.

[In the fifteenth month, you finished your studies.]

[Executioner, your Flying Thunder God Technique has been upgraded to LV6 (Mastery)!]

Li Xia raised his eyebrows. A copper coin. LV6, masterful skill?
