My Mysterious Left Hand

[Flexibility +1]

It turns out that this attribute was actually collected.

However, as an elastic property is collected, the elasticity of the steel sheet in front of us suddenly decreases sharply.

Li Chen did not stop there. The elasticity of the steel sheet had not completely disappeared, so he continued to collect it.

[Flexibility +1]

[Flexibility +1]

Two more elastic properties were collected, and the steel sheet finally could no longer bounce back, completely losing its elasticity.

Moreover, its structure also appears to have suffered some damage.

Li Chen quickly collected other steel samples to assess their elasticity.

He had collected a total of twenty elastic properties by the time all the steel was mined.

"This miniature crossbow is spring-powered; its elasticity should theoretically be useful."

He incorporated the elasticity he had just collected into the pocket crossbow.

With each flexible attribute incorporated, the miniature crossbow appears to become more refined and has a more substantial feel, almost visibly so.

With all the elastic properties incorporated, Li Chen felt that the weight of this pocket crossbow had increased by at least one pound.

"Give it a try."

He went outside and saw a fierce bird flying overhead. He aimed and pulled the trigger.

"puff!"

The crossbow bolt, which flashed by, grazed the ferocious bird and shot straight up over a hundred meters into the air before falling in a parabola into the distance.

"The effective range is about 100 meters, and the maximum range is 300 meters, which is just okay."

Li Chen ignored the ferocious birds and continued to enhance the weapon.

Anyway, those ferocious birds can no longer harm people, and each household has trained soldiers protecting them.

If this weapon isn't upgraded, it will be difficult for me to kill those ferocious birds that fly high up.

This time, Li Chen didn't hold back either, collecting most of the elastic items in his house, using the elastic properties to enhance his pocket crossbow.

However, even the pocket crossbow has its limits. When he incorporated the thirtieth elastic attribute into it, it reached saturation.

'Can these inanimate objects also incorporate attributes of life?'

A thought struck Li Chen, and he went outside again. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he started to pluck the mangoes from the roadside tree.

[Vitality Attribute +1]

[Vitality Attribute +1]

As vitality attributes were collected one by one, these mango trees, which were already lacking in upgrades, immediately began to shed leaves again.

Realizing that Mango Village might be relocated and that no one was paying attention to it anymore, he stopped holding back and went all out.

He only replaced the tree with the next one after it had completely died.

After killing five trees in one go, Li Chen tried to infuse the vitality attribute into the miniature crossbow.

Just as he expected, inanimate objects can also be infused with vitality attributes, and vitality attributes can indeed increase the capacity of other attributes of an item.

So he incorporated ten vitality attributes in one go, and then continued to incorporate elasticity attributes.

Once the elasticity attribute is saturated again, he continues to incorporate the vitality attribute, and so on.

Finally, when the stored elasticity was exhausted, some barely perceptible patterns appeared on the surface of the pocket crossbow.

Li Chen strapped the miniature crossbow to his left arm and fired it again.

Since no ferocious birds approached this time, he aimed directly at the open space in the distance and pulled the trigger.

"puff!"

The crossbow bolt, which flashed by, flew straight for more than 300 meters, then followed a parabolic trajectory for more than 1,000 meters before landing.

"That should be about right."

Li Chen took out the crossbow bolts and loaded them with satisfaction, then patiently waited for the ferocious bird to pass overhead.

At this moment, he finally realized that all those ferocious birds in the sky were actually of the same species.

"I've been to quite a few places over there before, and I've never seen so many of these birds. Something's not right." He was filled with doubt and unease.

Finally, a ferocious bird approached.

Li Chen quickly raised his hand to aim, his right hand already on the pocket crossbow.

The moment the ferocious bird got within a hundred meters, he pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The crossbow bolt, which flashed by, struck the ferocious bird directly in the abdomen, and then... bounced back.

Li Chen: "..."

"Hey!"

Enraged, the ferocious bird flapped its wings and swooped down like a black lightning bolt.

"Well done!"

This time, Li Chen didn't dare to release his aura again. Instead, he tried his best to shield it so as not to scare the other party away again.

Finally, the moment the ferocious bird got within three meters, he threw a punch.

"Watch out..." A patrol team that had come to this side in the distance said with a drastic change in expression, and quickly warned them.

"Bang!"

However, before he could finish speaking, the ferocious bird was blown to pieces, its body torn to pieces, with feathers and flesh exploding everywhere.

"call!"

The flames swept across, burning away all the blood and feathers that splashed towards Li Chen.

"Holy crap..."

"Such immense power, and to make matters worse, he's a superhuman!"

The team that had spoken up to remind Li Chen from afar were all dumbfounded.

Some ferocious birds that were preparing to come down to help flew away as soon as they saw this.

"Thanks for reminding me."

Li Chen nodded to the group in the distance, then looked up at the sky and found that the number of ferocious birds had decreased significantly.

Clearly, these ferocious birds were preparing to leave after failing to gain any advantage in Mango Village.

"Then let's continue to strengthen this weapon. With my current strength, this level of power is still insufficient."

With these thoughts in mind, Li Chen continued to enhance the pocket crossbow.

This time, however, he didn't continue to extract elasticity from steel, but instead collected it directly from the trees near his home.

"I was mistaken before. Theoretically, any elastic material should be able to exhibit elastic properties, as long as I interfere with it with my subjective will."

Just as he expected, the highly elastic branches could also be harvested with elastic properties.

However, once the elasticity property is collected, these branches become very brittle and break easily with the slightest bend.

About half an hour later, the ferocious birds finally disappeared.

A group of soldiers came and collected the carcasses of the slain ferocious birds, then gave Li Chen two peanut-sized pills.

"This is a Qi and Blood Pill; it's your reward."

He explained to the soldiers at the core of Li Chen's spirit, "Qi and Blood Pills can be directly swallowed and refined. They can increase the upper limit of Qi and Blood to a certain extent. They are the most common cultivation resource, and the market price is 10,000 yuan per pill."

"Increase the maximum amount of Qi and Blood?"

A thought struck Li Chen, and he couldn't help but ask, "Approximately how much qi and blood can one Qi and Blood Pill increase?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on talent and each person's absorption efficiency."

The soldier said, "The military has opened an exchange system. From now on, you militia members can exchange contribution points for Qi and Blood Pills. For example, you can get one contribution point for killing one of these ferocious birds like today."

Li Chen nodded. He felt that the effect of this Qi and Blood Pill was far inferior to the Qi and Blood he had collected himself.

At this moment, he suddenly had a brilliant idea: if he incorporated his Qi and Blood attributes into food and then ate it, would that also increase his Qi and Blood limit?

If possible, could I sell it?

However, I don't seem to be short of money for the time being, because there's nothing I need to buy.

Seeing the soldiers about to leave, he suddenly asked, "Can we go to the Savage World now?"

"In peacetime, people with militia status can freely enter and exit the passage in the back mountain."

The soldier replied, "But it's best to come back before dark, because it's not safe there at night."

"They can come and go freely?"

Li Chen was somewhat surprised. Seeing the soldier about to leave, he asked again, "I heard that joining the military can grant access to the Origin Law?"

"Only by formally joining the military and absolutely obeying orders can one obtain the Root Law."

The soldier replied, "However, it's not conscription time now. If you militia members accumulate enough contribution points, you can directly exchange them for cultivation techniques, including the Root Technique."

Li Chen was overjoyed: "Then how many contribution points are needed to exchange for the Origin Technique?"

His current cultivation method is no longer keeping up with his physical strength, and he urgently needs the root method.

"Ten thousand contribution points."

After answering Li Chen's question, the soldier turned and left.

'Ten thousand contribution points? That's no small sum.'

Li Chen frowned slightly: 'Based on the price of Qi and Blood Pills, 10,000 contribution points are equivalent to 100 million yuan. And simply spending money probably won't be enough to buy the cultivation technique.'

He felt that he might really have to go to the wild world again.

He wanted to collect body-refining techniques from the wild beasts of the primitive world and then organize them into a cultivation method that humans could practice.

If you have strong enough comprehension, it shouldn't be difficult to do this.

Suddenly, a gaze that was clearly malicious appeared.

Li Chen turned around without making a sound, and saw the young man he had knocked unconscious earlier turning and walking away.

Hu Zhongming had previously reprimanded the other party; the young man's name seemed to be Zhang Cheng.

"That guy's injury is healed already?"

Li Chen's eyes were deep.

He suddenly realized that he might not necessarily have to go to the wilderness, because someone might just come to him on their own initiative.
