Chapter 244: A qualitative leap in the New Year gift package (Subscribe please!)
No matter whether they are happy people or unhappy people.
As time gradually approached midnight, the sound of firecrackers rang out in the city, becoming louder and louder, and then resounding through the sky.
Although they are not gorgeous fireworks, the crackling sound of firecrackers and the smell of gunpowder make New Year's Eve full of the flavor of the Chinese New Year.
"It's Chinese New Year! It's Chinese New Year!"
The children couldn't wait to light firecrackers and jumped up and down to celebrate.
The adults just watched the crackling sound of firecrackers quietly.
"Ding!!!"
【New Year gift packages are being distributed, please check! 】
Suddenly, the voice of the system sounded in Li Kailang's mind, which made him stunned.
"Huh? I didn't expect the system also knew about the Chinese New Year!"
Li Kailang hadn't heard the system's voice for more than a month. It still sounded a little strange to him now, and he didn't know what was in the gift package.
Li Kailang forced himself to suppress his curiosity about the gift package and watched the firecrackers popping outside.
As the last firecracker sound died down, an even louder burst of firecrackers rang through the sky.
The new year is coming!
Without even bothering to watch the firecrackers, Li Kailang hurried home, closed and locked the door, and then closed the windows of the living room.
Li Kailang had an idea and entered the planting space.
"System, open the New Year gift package!"
[Ding! The host opens the New Year gift package! Obtain the following items! ]
[Skill Upgrade Card*1! Upgrade Card Fragment*1! Planting Space Anchor Point Perspective! ]
Without caring about anything else, Li Kailang first looked at the unfamiliar [Planting Space Anchor Point Perspective].
"Great, great! You're finally here!"
Li Kailang was longing to be able to see the scenery outside from the planting space.
Now, this wish is always going to come true!
"I will never have to endure this feeling of being pitch dark again!"
Li Kailang took out this [Planting Space Anchor Perspective].
This anchor point perspective has a unique appearance, like a palm-sized vertical pupil eye, shaped like a wolf's eye.
It fluttered gently in Li Kailang's hand, as if it had life.
Li Kailang stared at it intently, then silently said "use".
Suddenly, the vertical pupil eye emitted a red light, and then slowly transformed into a huge screen.
Li Kailang’s room was clearly shown on the huge screen.
"This... this is really my room!" Li Kailang walked closer in surprise and carefully observed the picture on the screen.
Li Kailang tried to walk to the left, and suddenly, the picture shifted to the left accordingly, reflecting the places that he could not see when he came in.
Li Kailang walked around and projected the entire room's image into the panel.
It’s like Li Kailang is standing in the outside world, he can only turn around in circles, and no one can see him.
After understanding these principles, Li Kailang was very excited. "It's a pity that this can't be moved. However, it's almost done. I should be content!"
Li Kailang was still thinking about moving the perspective of the outside world by moving the perspective, but the result was naturally not possible.
After the experiment, Li Kailang closed the panel and thought about other uses of this anchor perspective.
"It's pretty good. I can just recite it silently when I need it, and turn it off when I don't need it. I don't have to stay in a specific place."
"By the way, I wonder if the sound can be transmitted in?"
Li Kailang made up his mind. After going out, he took out the radio, turned it on and played some music.
"Zizila, zila~" The sound of electric current came from the radio.
It is now past the time for the program to be broadcast, and the radio cannot receive any broadcast content, so naturally there is only this electric current sound.
However, Li Kailang just wanted to listen to some noise. It didn’t matter if there was no program. There were still sounds of firecrackers outside, and then he entered the planting space.
"Zila Zila~~~"
"Crackling——"
The sound of electricity and firecrackers could be clearly heard in the growing space.
"Okay, okay, next time I come in, I don't have to worry about anyone looking for me!" Li Kailang showed a satisfied smile on his face.
This planting space anchors the perspective from which not only can the outside world be seen, but also heard.
This way, even if he is in the planting space, he will not lose contact with the outside world.
Then he looked at the remaining two. There was no need to say much about the upgrade card fragments. With this one, Li Kailang had collected a total of 3 fragments.
However, this skill upgrade card made Li Kailang feel troubled.
"Now, apart from brewing wine, I have mastered all other skills. There is no rush to upgrade the brewing skills."
Li Kailang’s most important skills are only three: maintenance, driving, and firearms!
Among these, driving is not needed for the time being. It is sufficient to meet Li Kailang's needs now and in the future. There is no need to upgrade it unless Li Kailang changes the car model.
"All that's left is maintenance and firearms!"
This made Li Kailang feel conflicted about which skill to upgrade.
Maintenance and firearms, both are important, making it difficult for him to make a decision.
After considering for a while, Li Kailang finally decided to upgrade his maintenance skills first.
The reason why Li Kailang decided not to mention firearms was that when it came to firearms, the most important thing was the weapon, and his current weapons reserves were close to their limit.
"With my current abilities, I'm afraid that's the end of the road. I can't buy any weapons. Even if my firearms skills are improved, it will be useless without weapons!"
For example, Li Kailang asked Lao Zhang for mortars for a long time, but they still refused to sell them to Li Kailang.
What’s the point of promotion if Li Kailang is not given it?
The only option now is repair.
"I don't know what the difference is between the expert level after the maintenance mastery level?"
Li Kailang took out the skill upgrade card and said silently: "Upgrade to maintenance mastery!"
The card immediately shone with light and merged into his body.
Li Kailang closed his eyes and concentrated on feeling the changes in his body.
However, unlike in the past, this upgrade process was unusually calm and without any noise.
Li Kailang couldn't help but wonder: "Why is this upgrade so quiet? Is there any special change?"
"This upgrade will definitely be huge, just wait a little longer!"
Still no movement.
Just as Li Kailang was puzzled, the system prompt sound suddenly rang.
【Ding! 】
[Maintenance Mastery has been upgraded to Maintenance (Expert), please experience it yourself! ]
"Hmm?" A big question mark appeared on Li Kailang's head.
"Why hasn't your body changed at all? Didn't your head feel a sharp pain before? I'm ready. Can you tell me to upgrade it?"
Li Kailang touched his body and looked at it carefully. There was no change. Then what was the point of his fearful preparation just now?
Suddenly, Li Kailang frowned and felt a tingling pain in his hands, which lasted for a while.
After finishing, Li Kailang looked at his hands, and found that the calluses left by the work had disappeared and his hands had become slender.
Other than that, there are no changes.
Li Kailang looked at his personal panel and saw only the word "Maintenance (Expert)" but no "Proficient" in it.
"Isn't that strange? What's changed?"
Li Kailang narrowed his eyes and looked around. Suddenly, a light flashed before his eyes, and a panel appeared out of thin air and then quickly disappeared.
Li Kailang's heart skipped a beat in fright.
Li Kailang calmed himself down and tried to turn his attention to the livestock fence. Sure enough, the panel appeared again.
The panel clearly shows:
[There is currently no need for repairs to the wooden fence.]
Next, the panel lists several possible repair options:
[1. Use more durable pine wood.] [2. Use iron fences.]
【3. Use the power grid instead. 】
"Could this be the effect of the upgrade?" Li Kailang looked around again, but this time there was no response.
"It should be that there is nothing worth repairing or changing. Change it!"
Li Kailang took out the broken motorcycle parts from the ring, and sure enough, the panel appeared in front of him again.
Almost at the moment he took out the parts, the panel appeared before his eyes again.
The panel details the damage to the motorcycle parts:
[Motorcycle parts disintegrated due to gunfire.]
Several maintenance solutions are given:
【Maintainable solutions:】
【1. Use original parts instead】
【2. Make the required parts and replace them. Please note that since they are not original parts, the chance of damage will increase.】
【3. Production】
Li Kailang read the contents on the panel carefully, and he gradually understood the function of this panel.
Simply put, this panel can display the object that needs to be repaired, as well as information such as the cause of its damage, the materials required for repair, and the effect after repair.
Moreover, it will list several repair options for you to choose from.
Just like building a house, the panels will be given, whether to build it with wood, bricks mixed with soil, or reinforced concrete.
And the final effects of these three options.
The most important thing is that the original maintenance (proficiency) was limited to the repair of automobile parts.
But nowadays, repairmen (experts) can repair almost anything and are no longer limited to cars.
"Okay, okay, I didn't expect the change to be so big. With this ability, I can go to the scrap yard, buy scraps, repair them, and then sell them!"
"Forget it. It won't be worth much if I repair it and sell it. I don't need that much right now!"
But upgrading to maintenance (expert) does not mean that Li Kailang can repair everything.
First of all, repairs require materials. Just like the motorcycle is broken, Li Kailang still can’t repair it because of the lack of materials.
The second is maintenance, which ultimately requires hands. If Li Kailang’s hands can’t do it, then maintenance is naturally impossible.
But my hands have just been modified and are capable of many repairs.
"No wonder I didn't feel a tingling sensation in my brain after this upgrade. It directly became possible to repair everything. How much knowledge does that require? It's not as direct as the panel." Li Kailang muttered to himself.
The higher the skill level, the more knowledge there is. A normal person's brain capacity cannot bear such a high load of knowledge infusion at once, and it is not as convenient as a panel.
But in this case, without the infusion of knowledge, Li Kailang only knows the facts but not the reasons behind them, which is also a disadvantage.
"It seems that I need to read more books in the future to understand its principles, and practice more to truly learn the knowledge on the panel into my brain. I will be busy in the future."
What Li Kailang didn't know was that the improvement of maintenance skills also led to the improvement of other skills.
Especially the existence of the panel allows Li Kailang to handle certain things with ease.
Li Kailang sighed, "Since we're here, we might as well sign in!"
"System, sign in!"
[Ding! The host has signed in for 37 days cumulatively, and the sign-in is successful! Obtain the following items! ]
[All-professional repair toolbox*1! Upgrade card fragment*1! Motorcycle*1! Dark cloak*1! ]
"Hmm? It's like a pillow for me when I'm sleepy. And a toolbox for me right after I upgrade my skills. It comes at the perfect time!"
Li Kailang had an idea and took out the toolbox.
“BOOM!!!”
Suddenly, a huge object appeared in the air and fell down suddenly, shaking Li Kailang off the ground.
Li Kailang looked at the object in front of him in astonishment and was stunned.
"Why is this toolbox so big? Isn't it just a container?"
Li Kailang looked at the container in front of him, which was at least 6 meters long, 2.5 meters wide and 2.4 meters high.
After a while, Li Kailang opened the box.
I saw that the container was filled with various maintenance tools, including those for truck repair, carpentry, even fitter and forgery.
There were a wide variety of tools, which made Li Kailang feel refreshed.
"With so many tools, I don't have to go out and buy anything I want in the future."
Li Kailang looked at it reluctantly for a long time before coming out of the container. Such a large container was naturally not easy to put into the ring.
It is best to place it in an open area outside the livestock fence.
"Now we only need one upgrade card fragment to upgrade again. After the upgrade, we need to leave a separate space for things."
"When the ring has a larger capacity, this container can also be used as a house, and it will be safer to live outside."
Li Kailang took out another motorcycle. This motorcycle was the same as the one he received as a gift when he signed in last time. Both were "Jinggangshan" brand military motorcycles.
"Okay, okay, with this motorcycle, I can go out and play whenever I have time."
After taking a look, Li Kailang set his sights on the last thing: the dark cloak!
As soon as he thought of it, a pure black cloak appeared in his hand and Li Kailang touched it.
"Why does it feel so soft and comfortable to the touch? It weighs about the same as clothes."
Li Kailang looked at the dark cloak, which was pure black in color, as if it absorbed all the light around it and did not reflect any light at all.
Li Kailang placed it in the center of the container, opened the door to let the light in, and could clearly see the dark cloak on the ground.
Li Kailang slowly closed the door again. As the light dimmed, the dark cloak could hardly be seen.
"System, what is the use of this cloak?" Li Kailang couldn't help but ask.
[The outer layer of this dark cloak is painted with "Vanta Black" pigment, which can absorb up to 99.965% of electromagnetic radiation in the visible light band. ]
[After the host puts on the cloak, only a dark body can be seen, and the outline of the body cannot be seen, making the host "disappear" from people's sight. ]
[In darkness, the cloak's effect is doubled.]
[Please note that this cloak can only cover the host's body shape, but cannot eliminate the host's walking and breathing sounds. Please use it with caution. ]
"What a pity, it can't block breathing. It seems to be just an ordinary thing, not a fantasy item."
Li Kailang had heard of the black paint of the Van Tower before he traveled through time. It first appeared in the UK in 2014.
When it first came out, it was known as the blackest substance on Earth and the closest thing to a black hole in the universe.
If you use it to make clothes, the person wearing it will look very strange, because people can only see their head and limbs, while the body will be completely black and even the outline of the body cannot be seen.
This has the same effect as the Dark Cloak.
“Although it can’t conceal the sound, it works really well with the anchor point perspective. It’s really a gold belt for murder and arson!”
"It's exciting just thinking about it. With him, I can go anywhere after dark without having to use a nightgown!"
Li Kailang threw away his nightgown directly. It was like a cripple getting better. The first thing he did was to throw away his crutches.
After throwing it away, Li Kailang picked it up again with heartache and brushed off the dust on it.
After all, this nightgown is an old friend that has accompanied him through many nights.
This dark cloak is described as quite powerful, but in the final analysis it is still an ordinary cloak painted with "Vanta Black" paint.
Hard to find, but possible to hit.
"But it's better to have something than nothing. This New Year is so wonderful! So many things came out all at once!"
The long-awaited planting space anchor perspective, maintenance (expert) level skills, all-professional maintenance toolbox, motorcycle, and dark cloak.
If any of these orders were taken out, Li Kailang would be happy for a long time. Unexpectedly, they were all taken out at once, and anyone who saw them would be overjoyed.
After accepting all this, Li Kailang left the planting space contentedly.
“This year has been really good!”
Li Kailang sighed and slept soundly!
