Don't Starve, my items can be upgraded

Chapter 32 Peng Min Awakens
There is a thunderstorm outside.

There was complete silence inside the Sanctuary of Wonders.

Only the screen hanging on the wall can bring in the sounds from outside.

The three-meter-long, wide and high shelter has a faint fluorescent light on its inner walls, which makes the light in the room not too dim, but not too strong either, and is very comfortable.

“So, that Kun Lu is the subordinate of the person who raised you?” Yang Chen hugged Peng Min’s delicate body and asked in a daze.

"Yes, he was in charge of us. There were three other girls with me at the beginning. We were all snatched or picked up by them from the deserters."

Peng Min whispered, "As far as I can remember, there have been girls like me being brought back and disappearing around me. I don't know where those who disappeared went. In the end, only the four of us were left."

She said in a self-deprecating and somewhat complicated voice: "Those people wouldn't let us starve to death, but they wouldn't give us good food either. They took care of us four girls like they were raising flowers, and occasionally took us to meet distinguished people, as if they wanted to sell us at a high price."

"But the standards of the Evolvers are very high, and I was stunted at that time, so I was never favored."

Having a pretty face alone is useless, men don’t just like pretty faces.

But fortunately, no one took a fancy to me, otherwise it would be troublesome.

The fate of the barren people was very miserable. They were actually considered lucky. At least they had never been hungry when they were treated as commodities.

"As far as I know, the small safe zone also has that kind of special barrier. Why was it blown away by the sandstorm?" Yang Chen asked curiously.

"do not know."

Peng Min thought for a moment and said, "I only remember that it was night time. I was still sleeping when the safe zone suddenly disappeared. Then there was an overwhelming sandstorm. Many people were blown into the sky, including me. But I was lucky enough not to die or even get injured. That was also the time when I took the opportunity to run away."

At this point, she sighed with emotion: "In fact, I regretted a little after I got out. Although I was looked down upon and bullied in there, and was treated like a commodity and often taken to exhibitions, at least I could barely eat enough. After I got out, I often went hungry..."

"Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that I'm starving because of you. I just feel sorry for the difficulties faced by ordinary people in the wilderness."

Perhaps because she was worried that Yang Chen would misunderstand, she couldn’t help but explain.

"Don't worry, I didn't misunderstand."

Yang Chen smiled faintly: "It's all over. We will all live well in the future. We won't have to go hungry anymore."

"Yeah." Peng Min nodded.

The two stopped talking and hugged each other, enjoying this rare short moment of peace and quietly listening to the sound of rain outside.

Perhaps because she had been tormented too badly before, she fell into a deep sleep soon after she calmed down.

Yang Chen closed his eyes and rested for half an hour, then opened his eyes and looked at the surveillance screen hanging on the wall opposite the bed.

Almost every few minutes, you can see the red light of a drone flashing on the monitoring screen.

He felt a little heavy.

Because even on this rainy night, Kunwu's drone can continue searching without any impact, moving at an extremely fast speed and coming and going silently.

Only when more than a dozen drones approach together can a slight "buzzing" sound be heard.

The technical content of that kind of drone was beyond his understanding.

"My current strength is still far from enough."

Sighing, Yang Chen took the space folding bag next to him, and with a thought, he directly took out a large pile of crystallized bone marrow.

"This time, there is a lot of crystallized bone marrow, which is more than enough. Let's increase the defense first."

He picked up the Ruyi Zhenkong Pearl and quickly absorbed the energy from the crystallized bone marrow.

He quickly converted the energies absorbed into his body into derivative qi, which he used to strengthen the Ruyi Zhenkong Pearl.

He planned to first upgrade the Ruyi Zhenkongzhu to level eleven, let it transform, and then strengthen the nail gun.

Because of the large amount of external energy supply, it didn’t take long for the progress bar of Ruyi Zhenkongzhu to be full.

The words "not upgradeable" after the data immediately changed to "upgradeable."

He immediately chose to upgrade.

Soon, the Ruyi Zhenkongzhu reached the tenth level.

[Ruyi Zhenkongzhu lv.10 (awakened): 0% (Size Ruyi: Contains an independent space with a diameter of 40 cm...; cannot be upgraded)]

"As expected, he is also in the awakening state."

Yang Chen was secretly happy.

Because objects in an awakened state can give rise to a mysterious aura.

That mysterious aura can directly improve his physical fitness.

Without pausing, he continued to input derivative Qi into the tenth-level Ruyi Zhenkong Pearl.

Just as he expected, when the progress bar of Ruyi Zhenkongzhu increased by one percent, the mysterious atmosphere on the first floor was born.

That mysterious aura went along his arm and into his body, rapidly strengthening his physical fitness.

So since breaking through and becoming a formal evolver, his physical fitness began to improve again.

But perhaps because he is not in a breakthrough state now, the mysterious aura this time does not have much impact on him.

Yang Chen didn't feel disgusted at all. Any improvement he could get would add up to a lot.

Anyway, at present, there is no limit to the number of items that can be strengthened. As long as it is strengthened to level ten, this mysterious aura can be obtained.

There may also be some at the 20th or even 30th level in the future.

So, in theory, my potential is huge, but it requires time and even more resources.

Perhaps it was because he had been running around all this time, and because he had been busy with Peng Min for too long, he was a little sleepy.

In his sleepy state, some information suddenly emerged in his mind - [All things... awaken... awaken...]

The intermittent information, translated by him, is a kind of breath that can awaken all things, called [Awakening Qi].

Yang Chen awoke with a start, and a look of doubt flashed across his eyes.

Because he discovered his special powers in his dream.

The awakening of the evolvers is silent and some people don’t even know they have acquired superpowers after awakening.

In the quasi-evolutionary state, many people still need to explore after awakening before they know that they already have special abilities.

Yang Chen was like this, it was when he sensed that information in his dream that time that he knew that his awakened ability was called [Demonic Evolution], and the special aura he created was called [Evolution Aura].

'What happened just now? Why did this happen to me for the second time?'

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he suddenly felt something in his heart and looked at the Ruyi Zhenkong Pearl in his hand.

"Awakening Qi... Awakening state... Could it be..."

Could it be that the mysterious aura produced by the item that I strengthened to the tenth level of awakening is the [Awakening Qi]?
Based on the information in my mind when I was half asleep and half awake, could it be that this kind of wakefulness is also a part of my supernatural power?

"My ability... feels so complicated."

Yang Chen pondered in his heart: ‘My derivative energy can allow all things to randomly derive attributes, and my awakening energy can allow all things to awaken…’

It is easy to understand how all things derive their attributes.

But what does it mean to let all things wake up?
It wouldn't wake up someone who is sleeping, would it?

If not, could it be...

Yang Chen seemed to have thought of something, and his heartbeat suddenly quickened.

"That shouldn't be possible, right?"

He was somewhat frightened by his own guess.

If this kind of [awakening energy] of mine could really awaken people, that would be really scary.

"At present, this aura is not harmful..."

He couldn't help but turn his gaze to Peng Min who was sleeping soundly beside him.

"If she awakens, it will be good for me. Besides, she is in a deep sleep now. Even if she awakens because of my awakening energy, she won't realize it's because of me."

Thinking of this, he immediately injected one of the awakening energy into Peng Min's body.

This wisp of awakening energy is only the amount produced by one percent of the progress bar of the awakening state of Ruyi Zhenkong Pearl.

As this ray of awakening energy was injected into Peng Min's body, there was no change in Peng Min's breathing rhythm.

But just a few seconds later, suddenly——

"Weng—"

A transparent barrier with a diameter of two meters emerged from Peng Min's body.

Yang Chen's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and just as he was about to reach out to touch the barrier, he found that the barrier suddenly disappeared.

Peng Min was still in a deep sleep and did not respond at all from beginning to end.

"Is this awakening?"

Yang Chen sensed it carefully, and immediately discovered that Peng Min's aura was more active than before.

After becoming a formal evolver, with his keen perception, he realized that the aura of evolvers is very active, while the aura of ordinary people is like a stagnant pool of water.

To put it in an analogy, ordinary people are like stones that do not glow, but evolvers are luminous bodies, so they are easier to be discovered.

'it turns out……'

Yang Chen took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and decided to keep this secret in his heart forever.

Even to the closest people, this secret cannot be revealed, otherwise something bad may happen.

Even if the other party won't betray me, what if there is an unintentional mistake at some point...

"I never thought that I could help others awaken."

Yang Chen secretly sighed.

Then, he looked at Peng Min who was sleeping soundly beside him again: "I don't know what her awakened ability is?"

Was the barrier just now defensive in nature?

While guessing these things in his mind, Yang Chen did not stop strengthening the Ruyi Zhenkong Pearl.
