Being an otaku in the world of American comics

As Liang Yue gave the order, the mist on the large turntable in front of him immediately dissipated, revealing various icons within each pointer area.

Scanning the dazzling array of skills, Liang Yue felt a wave of dizziness and his eyes crossed, making it impossible to discern what was what.

Helpless, he had no choice but to give up the struggle.

"Start!"

… …

"Stop!"

"Hopefully, this time I'll have better luck and get a more practical skill, at least one that's usable!"

Just as he muttered to himself, the black turntable in front of him came to a complete standstill, leaving only the red pointer in the center spinning non-stop, tugging at Liang Yue's heart with each rotation.

Slowly, the pointer's inertia seemed to finally reach its end.

Finally, under his watchful gaze, it stopped on a certain abstract icon.

"Ding~! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the auxiliary general skill 'Observation' in this lottery welfare. Do you wish to claim the reward?"

"Claim… …"

"The Observation skill is indeed practical, but it can't be used in combat, and ~"

With the thought that it was a blessing, not a curse, Liang Yue weakly flopped onto the bed and sat up, leaning against the pillow.

Instantly, as his command was issued, the skill, represented by an icon of an eye in a style similar to oracle bone script, flew directly from the turntable.

Then, it transformed into a beam of white light and entered his forehead.

In that instant, Liang Yue felt as if his eyes had undergone some inexplicable change at that moment. When he looked at the things in front of him, he seemed to have an urge to explore and investigate ~

This feeling was very subtle, only to be understood, not to be expressed in words.

Unlike the massive flow of information related to skill training that the system had instilled in him when he received the 'Ricochet' skill, the information attached to this 'Observation' skill was very scarce.

Besides the basic information of the skill, there were only some precautions for use.

And the Observation skill itself seemed to have become an innate ability of Liang Yue's the moment it entered his body!

… …

《Observation》: A common skill in game-type planes. It can be successfully cast after consuming a certain amount of energy or mental power. The higher the skill level, the more detailed the information that can be observed.

Level: 1 / 10

Current Level: 1

Skill Proficiency: 0 / 100

ps: Everything can be observed, but in the current lowest state, it can only be used to view the physical state of people and things.

… …

"It can also be activated by consuming mental power, which saves me a lot of trouble~!"

After reading the skill's information, Liang Yue immediately turned over, and with a flip of his sleeve, a large firearm was taken out of his storage space.

Looking at the dark object in front of him, this guy immediately moved his mind and threw an Observation skill at it.

… …

M134 Minigun: Uses 7.62mm caliber bullets, with a maximum rate of fire of 6,000 rounds per minute, a gun weight of 15.9 kg, and an effective range of 800 meters.

… …

"Not bad. For now, this skill is roughly equivalent to a free Baidu search engine, um ~ maybe a little weaker."

"But it's still a skill that's used very frequently, and it can also be upgraded."

"In terms of mental power consumption, in my current state, I can probably use it about twenty times?"

Feeling the consumption of "energy" in his mind for that instant, Liang Yue blinked his eyes twice and nodded thoughtfully.

Then, he threw the machine gun in his hand back into the storage space, and with another flip of his sleeve, an inconspicuous yellow slip of paper appeared in his palm.

This was exactly the other reward he received after completing the side quest, the Item Upgrade Talisman!

"System, how do I use this thing? Can it be used as a reinforcement charm in a game?"

Looking at the talisman, which had no patterns or embellishments on the surface, Liang Yue was very curious.

"Ding~! The Item Upgrade Talisman is not a reinforcement charm. It cannot be used to enhance the power of weapons and equipment like in some games. The talisman itself can improve and expand the capabilities of the selected item to a limited extent."

"Please experience it yourself, Host."

"Then, what value can this talisman reach in your assessment?"

"Please check the System Shop yourself, Host."

"System Shop? Oh! You've treated this talisman as a consumable and put it on the shelves?"

Hearing what the system said, Liang Yue quickly summoned the System Shop interface in his mind.

At a glance, he almost immediately found the location of the yellow talisman among the few items.

Then, glancing down, this guy was immediately startled.

"It costs a thousand points to buy one?"

Seeing the three zeros clearly marked, Liang Yue subconsciously looked again at the few items next to it that could be obtained for only about a hundred points.

Immediately, he became more cautious about the small piece of paper in his hand.

"Not a reinforcement charm, but it can be used to upgrade items ~"

"Moreover, the system seemed to say just now that this thing can't be used to enhance the power of equipment, but it can improve and expand the capabilities of the selected item… …"

Thinking of this, Liang Yue couldn't help but sink into deep thought again.

First of all, consumables such as guns and iron swords definitely cannot be upgraded with the upgrade talisman.

Not to mention whether these types of weapons are worthy of a talisman worth a thousand points, if you just want to increase their power.

The most direct way is actually to change to a better one… …

Just like the pistol he used to use in the Apocalypse world, he could completely change it to a Vulcan Gatling, absolutely doubling the power!

As for the standard iron sword under the MC system, wouldn't it be better to directly change to a diamond sword?

"If weapons and equipment are not suitable, then for me, I can only try tools now!"

Thinking of this, Liang Yue flipped his sleeve, and an iron pickaxe immediately appeared in his hand, but then this guy shook his head.

He flipped his palm again, and then with a thud, a toolbox used to make these iron pickaxes and iron swords was immediately placed in front of the bed.

"It's you!"

Liang Yue threw the talisman in his hand onto the toolbox, and then saw the talisman twist as it fell, turning into a ball of yellow-orange light, slowly enveloping the entire toolbox.

Then, little by little, it merged into the interior of the toolbox.

At this time, the light seemed a bit dazzling, but it didn't make any sound, quite like a silent rain moisturizing things.

Some unknown changes were quietly taking place.

Then, for more than a minute, Liang Yue squatted on the bed, focusing all his attention on the entire process, until the vision in front of him completely disappeared.

"Is it over? From the outside, it doesn't seem to have changed much."

When the light completely merged into the toolbox, Liang Yue couldn't help but feel a little muttered to himself, thinking, don't tell me the upgrade failed, wasting my talisman ~!

So he quickly leaned over and opened the toolbox to take a look.

"Oh~! I see!"

Looking at the inside of the box, after a moment, Liang Yue nodded as if he understood something.

At this time, only to see inside the toolbox, the original nine independent space grids, arranged in the order of the nine-palace grid, the production bar.

Now, it has become sixteen!

And arranged there in equal parts according to a four-by-four square layout.
