Chapter 22: Attribute Breakthrough! Observation Haki Upgraded!
11:00 AM.
The basement level is a comprehensive laboratory.
Horn discovered that the villas here were much more luxurious and larger than the beachfront villas in Queens.
Here, in addition to various experimental equipment and facilities, there is also a dedicated wine cabinet and bar, where you can relax with a couple of drinks when you're tired.
In addition, to the east is a genuine leather sofa facing an 85-inch television. Behind the sofa is a curved desk with six top-of-the-line computers on it.
In the center of the laboratory was a huge testing platform. Standing there, Horn could test his skills or equipment without having to go to the basement.
"Tony really thought of everything. He knew I would need this lab someday, so he built it so perfectly."
Horn grew to like the laboratory more and more as he looked at it; it would save him a lot of preparation time.
He then withdrew his gaze, walked to the sofa and sat down. He took out the bottle of "Primary Physique Enhancement Agent" from his spatial ring, unscrewed the cap, and drank it down in one gulp.
"Hmm? It tastes sweet!"
The cool liquid melted in his mouth with a sweet taste, which brightened Horn's eyes.
Since his transmigration, this is the first time he has physically drunk a bottle of [Primary Physique Enhancement Agent]. Before, he had always used it directly through the [Multiverse Check-in Device] and had no idea what it tasted like.
Then a familiar feeling appeared; an energy flowed into his muscles, nerves, meridians, and bones, strengthening his body and making him feel a slight warmth throughout his body.
However, this time, Horn could clearly feel that the heat was not as intense as the previous two times, and it lasted for only three seconds before gradually receding like a tide.
"I wonder if the attributes have broken through the hundredth level."
He suddenly felt a little insecure and hurriedly opened the attribute panel.
[Attribute Panel]
Name: Hornstack
Power: 104
Agility: 102
Spirit: 102
Physical fitness: 105
Note: The median human attribute value is 10.
Skills: [Master-level Mixed Martial Arts Techniques], [Master-level Firearms Proficiency], [Observation Haki: Intermediate], [Naval Six Powers].
Items: [E-Rank Tactical Tang Sword], [Space Ring], [Life Return], [Miniature Arc Reactor Manufacturing Technology], [Mark Armor Manufacturing Technology], [Strike Freedom Gundam Manufacturing Technology].
Check-in points: 3000
"Great! We've broken through to the next level!"
When Horn saw the numbers displayed for the four attribute values, he breathed a sigh of relief. "This meets the requirements for learning [Life Return]."
Without much hesitation, he took out the Life Return skill book from his spatial ring.
"It really does resemble a book."
Horn looked down at the book in his hand, its cover bearing the words "Life Returned," and was slightly taken aback.
This was also the first time he had ever touched a physical skill book, which surprised him. He subconsciously turned to the first page.
slam-la-
In an instant, the entire skill book moved without wind, its pages fluttering, and before Horn could react, it transformed into a golden ball of light that merged directly into his body.
Holy crap!
Horn was startled, and his whole body suddenly felt like it was being pricked with needles.
At the same time, fragments of memories surfaced in his mind, eventually coalescing into a white figure whose appearance was indistinct.
The instant the white figure appeared, all the cells in his body seemed to come alive. His muscles began to writhe, his blood seemed to boil, as if they had received some kind of command. Even his internal organs began to tremble slightly.
Although the whole process only lasted three minutes, it felt like centuries to Horn.
Looking at him now, his clothes, which he had just changed into, were soaked with sweat, his face was pale, and his body was still trembling slightly. He looked like he was still shaken. After he came to his senses, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It was all for nothing that I took the shower."
But that wasn't all. Instead of testing the effects of [Life Return], he took out three skill books in succession: [Miniature Arc Reactor Manufacturing Technology], [Mark Armor Manufacturing Technology], and [Strike Freedom Gundam Manufacturing Technology].
Then, the first thing to do was to open the book on "Miniature Ark Reactor Manufacturing Technology".
"I see... By using a medium to allow energy to circulate continuously inside, its volume is reduced..."
As the skill book transformed into a golden light and entered his body, fragments of memories flooded into his mind like a tidal wave.
In this memory, the white figure was learning and absorbing all kinds of knowledge. Then, through the theoretical knowledge he learned, he went to the laboratory to verify it step by step, constantly accumulating experience from failures. Finally, in one experiment, he successfully created the "miniature arc reactor". Judging from his actions at the time, it was exactly the same as Tony in the cave.
This allowed Horn, who had acquired this memory, to experience it firsthand, understand the underlying principles, and successfully master the technology.
Next up is the [Mark Armor Manufacturing Technology].
……
Ten minutes later.
"Phew... I was careless..."
Horn leaned back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, his mind somewhat hazy, his breathing rapid.
After learning the [Mark Armor Manufacturing Technology], he immediately used the last skill book, [Strike Freedom Gundam Manufacturing Technology], without even thinking.
Unexpectedly, it contained more memories than he had accumulated over eighteen years of his life!
It caused him a splitting headache and made him feel like he was dying!
At that moment, he even had a vague feeling that his head was about to explode.
What made him even more apprehensive was that the whole process lasted a full ten minutes!
It was dozens of times more painful than learning about "Life Return"!
If it weren't for his current strong physical condition, he probably would have gone into shock within the first minute.
They simply couldn't last until the end.
"Thank goodness, it's over..."
Horn sighed; he felt he couldn't hold on for even a second longer.
"I should be more careful when using skill books in the future, otherwise I might really become the first transmigrator to be overwhelmed by the prizes."
He silently reflected on this lesson and decided that in the future, if he received multiple skill book rewards, he would never study them consecutively.
After resting for half an hour, Horn finally felt a little better and breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't intend to test his skills anymore. He got up, took another shower, and headed to the restaurant.
"Are you hungry? I was just about to call you. There's enough food for fifty adults. You can eat some first, and the chef is still preparing the rest."
Zhao Hailun spotted him, immediately walked up to him, and said with a smile.
At this moment, her white coat was gone, replaced by a fitted white shirt that perfectly showcased her figure, making Horn unable to resist taking a second look at her.
