Chapter 8: Chapter 5 – 1st Upgrade_3
Other changes were also notable: the drone’s energy points increased to 300 points. Although the drone’s size and weight had increased significantly, which would definitely lead to a corresponding increase in the consumption of energy points during flight, this was still a qualitative leap from the previous 30 energy points. This was bound to greatly enhance the drone avatar’s endurance capabilities.
As for weapons, they underwent the most drastic change after the upgrade. The previous drone could only fire pea bullets, but the upgraded drone had begun using Steel Ball Bullets, with an astonishing number of 500 bullets. Although these Steel Ball Bullets were not as powerful as real bullets, they were definitely stronger than pea bullets, and it was not a problem to incapacitate or even kill a person. The same gun barrel that fired the pea bullets was still in use, utilizing air pressure to shoot, only now the steel balls were launched further and with greater force.
The merit points required for the drone’s upgrade had reached 1000 points, which made upgrading the drone ten times more difficult. The Universal Space also received an upgrade, expanding to 10 cubic meters, allowing Yan Fei to load more items into it and making his actions more convenient.
Surprisingly, this upgrade also revealed some specific flight data about the drone. For example, the flight speed had reached 144 kilometers/hour, which converts to 40 meters per second; the flight altitude had reached 200 meters, and the control distance had extended to 10 kilometers. Looking at the data alone, the upgraded Level 2 drone was extremely formidable, having surpassed most of the civilian drones in the world, let alone comparing it to unupgraded drones. With this data, Yan Fei had a better understanding of the drone’s performance and could fully utilize its functions.
An additional feature that appeared with this upgrade was the functionality of a Storage Card. Previously, although the drone was able to use an HD Camera to capture the surrounding scenes, it lacked a recording function. Even if Yan Fei wanted to find previously captured footage, it was not possible. Now, with the Storage Card, footage captured by the drone could be saved, and then transferred to Yan Fei’s computer via WIFI. This feature sparked many new ideas for Yan Fei.
This upgrade not only enhanced the drone itself but also the Mysterious Power had similarly modified Yan Fei’s body. Like before, this transformation was stealthy and instantaneous. Following the upgrade, Yan Fei’s appearance had not changed, nor had his muscles increased further, but he clearly felt a sudden surge of great strength within his body. Based on his preliminary estimates, his strength had doubled from its previous baseline. In other words, Yan Fei’s strength was now four times what it was before the enhancement. To some extent, Yan Fei could now be considered a small superman.
Yan Fei’s transformation was not just a simple increase in physical strength; other enhancements were happening simultaneously. It’s just that these were not as noticeable as the increase in strength, and he would gradually come to realize them over time.
With this upgrade, the drone avatar was enhanced, evolving from a toy-like gadget into a true deadly armed weapon. With this lethal tool and his body strengthened again, Yan Fei felt confident in dealing with any provocation.
The only regret was that the upgrade had overlooked the issue of materials, resulting in the loss of over a hundred thousand yuan worth of household appliances, which was indeed a pity. However, this lesson learned, Yan Fei would not make the same mistake in the future.
