I can equip strange items

Chapter 86 Yan Qin's power finally arrived.

"Everything?" Li Yuan stroked the bamboo knife and asked softly.

"everything!"

Lu Jiayin nodded emphatically.

Why do you value strength so much?

Li Yuan sized up Lu Jiayin: "I don't mean to disrespect you, but the truth is, I don't seem to see any sense of righteousness or compassion in you."

On the contrary, in his view, Lu Jiayin was a woman with a lot of selfish motives, otherwise she wouldn't have made a deal with him in private.

"Why do we value strength?

Lu Jiayin said without changing her expression, "You should remember the driver who drove us when we first met, right?"

"I remember, what's wrong?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.

"His name is Li Rui."

Lu Jiayin said with a complicated expression, "But he's already dead, and he died a horrible death."

Li Yuan paused slightly as he stroked the bamboo knife.

He suddenly remembered that the first person from the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs who had cooperated with him was named Zhang Chenghao, and that guy was also dead.

I never expected that another one would die now.

However, Li Rui wasn't exactly someone I had worked with.

"In this increasingly dangerous world, without strength, you might die at any time. I just want to live a good life."

A flicker of fear crossed Lu Jiayin's eyes: "I've witnessed too much death lately. With my current strength, I might suddenly die any day now. I'm not willing to accept that!"

"I don't have any solutions for now, but maybe I will in the future."

Li Yuan didn't rule out the possibility of anything being said, but he also didn't want to reveal his ability to access other people's entries right now.

Although Lu Jiayin is very self-serving and not very loyal to the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs, he will not easily trust them.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiayin looked immediately disappointed.

"By the way, could you please keep an eye on the sanitation situation in Donghe City for me these next couple of days?"

Li Yuan spoke again: "This matter concerns whether we can solve the streetlight anomaly, and even more so the lives of our organization's senior members, so I don't want any problems to arise."

"I will, and I believe no one would dare to cheat or shirk responsibility in this matter."

Lu Jiayin nodded: "By the way, you don't have any daily necessities here yet, do you? I'll have someone bring some over later."

"Forget about everything else, just bring me some drinking water," Li Yuan said.

"Okay." Lu Jiayin nodded and went to do it.

She seemed to be trying to please Li Yuan, so in less than five minutes, she personally delivered a large box of mineral water.

In addition, there were some seasonings and a box of canned meat.

"These are all disaster relief supplies; you don't need to spend any money on them."

Lu Jiayin said, "If you need anything else later, just let me know."

"Thanks." Li Yuan didn't stand on ceremony.

After Lu Jiayin left, he tidied up and prepared to continue hunting.

His newly acquired blue attribute requires a large number of mutated beast corpses to be converted into strength.

At the same time, he also wanted to try and see if he could obtain more mutated beast corpses, which he could use to cultivate Yang Yuan Fruits, and then exchange the Yang Yuan Fruits for points or strange items.

Leaving the prefab house, he once again stepped into the wind and snow.

Night had completely enveloped the earth, and the snowflakes in the sky were more concentrated than at dusk.

Large, feather-like snowflakes danced in the cold wind, reducing visibility to extremely low levels.

The snow on the ground was already above ankle-deep.

However, for Li Yuan, simply traveling was not affected at all.

He walked along the perimeter of the resettlement area towards the more distant hilly terrain, spreading his senses to the fullest extent, searching for traces of the mutated creatures.

However, to his disappointment, perhaps due to the extremely harsh weather, the mutated creatures that were usually active seemed to have all retreated into their burrows.

He walked for nearly twenty minutes before finding a mutated wild dog next to an abandoned farmhouse.

The stray dog ​​was huddled in the corner of the collapsed wall, trying to avoid the wind and snow.

Seeing Li Yuan approach, it stood up warily, letting out a low growl.

Li Yuan raised his hand, and a thin bolt of Yin lightning shot out, precisely piercing its head.

The mutated wild dog didn't even have time to scream before it collapsed to the ground.

He walked over calmly, waved his hand to put the corpse into the dissolution plant, and then continued on his way.

In the next hour, he only managed to kill three mutated creatures.

Two mutated foxes and one mutated lynx.

These creatures were all small; combined, they probably didn't even equal the size of the mutated python they hunted at dusk.

This won't do; it's too inefficient.

Li Yuan stood on a hillside, gazing at the snowflakes dancing in the sky, his brows furrowed slightly.

At this rate, even if he worked all night, he probably wouldn't be able to hunt down more than ten mutated creatures, and the resulting primal nutrients would have a negligible impact on his overall improvement.

Because it's later on, every kilogram of strength gained requires significantly more energy expenditure than before, sometimes to an absurd degree.

Given his situation, the amount of essential nutrients he needs to continue improving will only increase.

It seems we can only wait until the cleanup operation in Donghe City is completed before we see if there are any other options.

Li Yuan sighed and was about to turn around and return to the resettlement area when his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.

He took out his phone and saw that it was a WeChat voice call request from Yan Qin.

Li Yuan was somewhat surprised, as Yan Qin rarely called him on her own initiative, especially at night.

He pressed the answer button and held the phone to his ear: "Hello, Yan Qin?"

"Li Yuan! I—I think I've become stronger!"

Yan Qin's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement and exhilaration, and she was even somewhat incoherent.

"You've gotten stronger?"

Li Yuan was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"It's just that—my physical abilities have suddenly become much stronger!"

Yan Qin quickly said, "I was practicing my knife skills in the living room as usual, and I found that my swing speed was several times faster than before, and the power was also much greater!"

Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat: "Tell me more about it?"

"I just tried chopping at the iron pot that was next to me, just one of those regular frying pans, and I cleaved it in two with one stroke!"

Yan Qin's voice was filled with disbelief: "I couldn't have done this before! And my reaction speed has also increased, it feels like—I've been upgraded!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan's lips curled up slightly.

It seems the other party has already obtained the first unit of the "Sports Expert" category: physical fitness.

But this speed is really slow.

It seems that it only took me a little over two days back then.

However, it's understandable, since Yan Qin was unaware of the existence of the entry and couldn't see the data; she was simply following his instructions and hiking normally.

"But strangely enough, I don't seem to have gained any superpowers."

At this moment, Yan Qin spoke again: "I tried several times just now, and it seems that apart from my physical strength getting stronger, there are no other changes. I thought I had awakened some kind of superpower, but I searched for a long time and found no power at all."

"That's right."

Li Yuan said calmly, "Do you remember what I told you before, that after hiking 100 kilometers, no matter how far away, I would come to protect you?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, then Yan Qin's voice rang out again, trembling slightly: "You mean—this is the power you gave me?"

I guess so.

Li Yuan didn't deny it, but he was too lazy to explain in detail. He simply said casually, "You just need to know that your current power is related to me. I'll tell you the specific reasons later when I have the chance."

"Li Yuan————"

Yan Qin's voice suddenly became choked with emotion: "Thank you."

Although she couldn't understand this way of bestowing power out of thin air, she kept in mind what Li Yuan had said before.

And now, all of this has actually happened.

The sense of security that comes with strength is very real.

"You're welcome, but don't rely on this power too much."

Li Yuan said calmly, "What you need to do now is continue to practice your swordsmanship diligently and solidify your foundation. The power I'm giving you is just the starting point. Whether you can truly become stronger depends on your own efforts. The future will only become more dangerous; relying on others is not as good as relying on yourself."

"I know! Don't worry, I've been practicing my swordsmanship diligently all this time."

Yan Qin quickly said, "Moreover, I feel that I have already mastered some skills. My sword swings are much smoother than before. I feel that even if my physical abilities haven't suddenly improved, three or five ordinary people might not be able to beat me."

At this point, she added with a touch of pride, "By the way, is this sudden talent for swordsmanship I possessed also related to you? You seemed to have mentioned it before—"

"Don't ask me about that. Just focus on practicing your swordsmanship."

Li Yuan said, "You keep practicing on your own. I have something to do here, so I'll hang up now."

"Okay, be careful."

Although Yan Qin still had a lot to say, she ultimately held back.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yuan put his phone back in his pocket and looked up at the snow falling all around him.

This weather—let's search for another hour. If we don't find it there, we'll go back!

He continued walking forward.

However, another hour or so passed quickly, and he only managed to hunt down one mutated rat.

"You're wasting my time!"

Helpless, Li Yuan turned around and walked back.

Instead of wasting this time, you might as well go back and strengthen your bamboo sword.

Now that he has the blue tag "Dissolving Factory," his power will only grow stronger.

If the bamboo knife is too light, it will also affect your performance.

When he returned to the prefab house, it was already past 11 p.m.
