Chapter 160: Add Skill Points, Soaring Combat Power!

After hearing the commotion here, more than a dozen of Hollerites' heavily armed men arrived belatedly.

"What happened?"

"Boss! Are you okay?"

"Ugh...what the fuck does this smell like?"

"What kind of monster is this?!"

"..."

Hollerites waved his hands impatiently to this group of men who were doing nothing but asking for money for food.

They didn't come when Ansel was screaming, but they came now when they heard the gunshots. What a bunch of losers!

"Get out of here, don't bother me with this."

"Well……"

More than a dozen subordinates looked at each other, wondering why their boss was so angry.

Could it be this group of people in front of me?

Except for Seben, the young guard who was familiar with Kassadin, the others looked at Li Lin and the others with fierce eyes.

Hollerites saw the faces of these brainless guys, guessed what they were thinking, and aimed his gun directly at them.

"Damn it, don't you understand human language? Get out of here!"

Seeing that the boss was angry, the guards did not want to touch his brow, so they all returned to their respective posts.

Only Seben, who was strong, dark-skinned and had his hair tied into a pigtail, remained.

Hollerites glanced at his most trusted personal guard and waved to him.

"Boss, what happened?" He approached the three people who were studying the corpses of strange creatures on the ground, and then asked Hollerites in a low voice.

Seben frowned, looking at the monster that was leaking dark green corrosive mucus... or "blood" and emitting a very pungent smell, and couldn't help pinching his nose.

"What on earth is this? I have lived for thirty years and have traveled all over Shurima, but I have never seen this thing before..."

As he spoke, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and a bright light flashed in his eyes, "This thing is similar to the Sha Clan Exes of Calixai!"

"The creatures infected by the void basically all have common characteristics."

Li Lin, who was squatting on the ground and had already collected samples from the Void Spirit, stood up and turned around to look at the typical Shurima man in front of him.

"Exe, and Queen Rek'Sai of the Sha tribe, were actually native creatures of Runeterra, but they became what they are now after being infected by the void."

Hearing Li Lin's explanation, Seben, who didn't understand much, smiled awkwardly and scratched his face.

He didn't know much about the history of Shurima, and he had never paid attention to it.

What god warriors, what void...

Serben actually only knew about the Sha clan. He had heard about it from others and had seen their corpses brought to the Marrow Seal Market for sale by mercenaries. He had never been to Calixai himself.

Hollerites sighed, "I tell you to read more books but you don't listen... now, you don't even know what the void is."

Seben scratched his head, "Hey..."

"Hey, you man, hurry up and find someone to deal with this monster. And Ansel's body in my house, don't bury it in the ground, just burn it with fire."

Li Lin quickly added: "Don't touch the corpse or the mucus directly. If you don't want to lose your hands or turn yourself into such a monster..."

He pointed at the virtual spirit on the ground and chuckled.

Seben shuddered, took one last look at the monster on the ground, turned around and trotted away.

"This kid..." Hollerites shook his head and looked at Kassadin again, "So, what are your plans next?"

…

…

Some time later, at Kassadin's request, Hollerites arranged for the three of them to stay in the best tavern and inn in the Marrow Seal Market.

Although the bathroom in the hotel is very simple and looks very similar to the sauna room Li Lin has seen, I can finally take a bath.

After setting off from Zurita, they had been working hard for nearly two months and had not been able to take a good rest.

After a little tidying up at the Marrow Seal Market, Li Lin was about to face the void, and Li Lin didn't want to wait until he upgraded before ordering skills.

Anyway, killing the void mobs for the first time will give you skill points, but this does not include the "elite monsters".

When we arrived in the Songling Valley, Kassadin's village was swallowed by the void, there would only be more void monsters but not fewer, but they would have as many skill points as they needed.

With the level increased to 23, Li Lin has accumulated a total of 26 skill points.

He did not hesitate to use up all his current [Mechanic] exclusive skills.

With 4 skill points, the original lv3 [Introduction to Mechanic] has been upgraded to lv7, the speed of learning mechanical knowledge is directly increased to 110%, and the probability of learning rare drawings or skills is increased to 7%.

1 skill point points lv6 [Machine Affinity] to lv7, which slightly increases the machine affinity and increases the speed of making machines to 55%.

4 skill points will increase the [Mechanical Improvement] of lv3 to lv7, and the probability of upgrading the quality of equipment from "inferior" to "excellent" and from "excellent" to "rare" will be increased to 88% and 47% respectively. They are just upgraded to "artifacts" The probability is still only 1%.

12 skill points will increase the [Auxiliary Chip] and [Steel Barrier] from lv1 to lv7 respectively.

Today's Steel Barrier has 14,000 health points, which is the same as Source Project Infinite Power Armor.

It's just that the steel barriers that have been made must be upgraded to reach the highest level, and there are no precision instruments that can emit high energy in the Xueyin Market, which really makes Li Lin a little disappointed.

But lv7's [auxiliary chip] made up for Li Lin's regret.

After clicking on this skill, he discovered that each level of [auxiliary chip] can improve the intelligence of the chip and reduce energy consumption.

Moreover, the production of this kind of chip does not require high-power precision equipment. The mechanical equipment Li Lin currently carries with him and placed in the morning light is completely sufficient.

It's just the materials needed to upgrade that are a problem.

but……

This is the Marrow Mark Market, and there are many caravans from Piltover selling Hex Technology.

Li Lin purchased almost all the Hex technology in the market, removed the parts he needed, and upgraded all the semi-intelligent mechanical chips for his power armor and four floating machines.

He pieced together the remaining mechanical parts and assembled them into a new storm robot.

It's just that it's not as beautiful and unified as the previous three, and it doesn't have an auxiliary chip, so it can only be controlled manually...

However, it would be quite good to use as a path-exploring robot, so Li Lin didn't add bullets to it.

After all, after the previous battle, more than 600 rounds of bullets were consumed in the three storm robots.

After reloading, there were only about 2,000 rounds of ammunition left in the morning light, plus the more than 200 rounds purchased from Piltover merchants at the Marrow Seal Market.

Then he had to deal with the void, but he didn't know if it was enough, which caused his serious fear of insufficient firepower to occur again.

Although the money Li Lin carried was not enough to support his squandering, basically everyone in the Piltover caravan here had heard of the name "Li Lin".

Then rely on the power armor on his body that is relatively typical and can be used to verify his identity.

Li Lin only wrote IOUs signed by himself to each caravan, and asked them to go back to Picheng and ask the Giraman family for gold coins, without spending a penny.

In just three days of rest, Li Lin prepared everything.

Now, when he puts on the power armor, his personal combat power on the system panel has soared directly to 78, basically reaching the peak that humans can reach!

But the combat power display is only a reference data after all. A truly evenly matched battle is always changing rapidly, and any flaw may lead to failure.

Later, Li Lin approached Kassadin and Sivir and began to discuss the next plan.

Singing Valley—Kassadin's hometown, is also a corrupted place swallowed by the void.

Kassadin originally didn't want Li Lin to get involved in this matter, but he refused because he wanted to collect void samples and explore metal mines that could be used for nuclear fusion.

What's more, without his intervention, it would have taken at least a few years for Kai'Sa to return from the void rift relying solely on her own abilities...

Regarding Sivir, Li Lin and Kassadin had surprisingly unanimous opinions. They felt that she should wait for the arrival of Grand Maester Nasus at the Marrow Seal Market.

But after all, as the leader of the mercenary group, she also had her own subjective thoughts and didn't like their way of excluding her.

Under Sivir's forced request, Li Lin had no choice but to let her join the journey to Songsong Valley.

After all, with her joining, Nasus would most likely go to the Songling Valley to find them directly.

By then, even if there are relatively powerful beings in the void there, it won't be a problem.

After preparing everything, the three of them took advantage of the early morning and set out from the southern valley of the Marrow Seal Market with all their supplies.
