Over the next few days, Li Ang repeatedly tested out the strength of the skill [Glandular Organ Stimulation- Adrenal Gland].

His usual physiological function was similar to an average professional athlete’s. After getting a shot of adrenaline, his athletic abilities were akin to the abilities of a national-ranking athlete who could fight on the world champion stage.

In other words, Li Ang could reach the pinnacle of human physiological function if he used this skill.

Of course, the side effects were very severe. His body would start shaking, his breathing would become labored, and his eyes would get bloodshot. He would start sweating large amounts of cold sweat, and his heartbeat would be fast and irregular. Also, he would feel extremely nauseous, and his head would feel like it was going through a grinder.

Fortunately, these side effects were tolerable by Li Ang, who had long since mastered the Kubark Interrogation Manual of America’s intelligence agency.

Also, he had tested numerous interrogation techniques on himself. Compared to those frightening torture methods, the side effects of this skill were nothing.

After killing the black corpse, Li Ang had realized that modern light arms like the assault rifle were insufficient when it came to injuring the various monsters in the game.

He would need anti-materiel rifles, anti-tank individual rocket launchers, military flamethrowers, mortars, howitzers, mustard gas…

Li Ang was indeed good at making stuff. However, there was no way he could make such weapons in his own living room without being detected by the state surveillance system.

“It would be great if I was in Africa. I could even have made an M388 Rocket Launcher,” Li Ang thought.

The M388 Rocket Launcher had been invented after World War Two by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization so it could guard itself against the Soviet Union.

Despite being used for tanks, it had no armor-piercing shell or High Explosive Squash Head.

Instead, it had a miniature light-weight nuclear bomb containing the equivalent of 250 tons of trinitrotoluene. Its firing range reached 4 kilometers.

The most terrifying aspect was that the radiation radius of the M388 Rocket Launcher’s light-weight nuclear bomb head was greater than its firing range…

In other words, the user would be prepared to die upon firing the bomb.

I am prepared to kill myself.

Li Ang was not tooting his own horn when making that claim. The construction of the nuclear weapon was not difficult. He might have purchased two sets of African locally-produced yellowcake if not for the pressure of the customs supervision.

“Damn it. I’m afraid I do not possess sufficient firepower…”

In conclusion, Li Ang, who did not possess the means to purchase and create heavy arms at the moment, could only repair the equipment on hand and turn his attention to the Dharma instruments in folklore.

Jingan Temple, also known as Jingan Ancient Temple, was situated in the center of Yin City. Its history could be traced back to the Three-Kingdom period, when it had been originally known as the Chongxuan Temple. During the Song Dynasty around 10,008 to 1,016 AD, its name had been changed to Jingan Temple and it had become one of the oldest temples of the entire country.

The world changed with time, so the ancient temple had become a tourist attraction. Because it was the weekend of summer, many tourists from all over the country were queuing to take photos of the temple.

Wang Congshan stood in the queue, wearing a straw hat, a pink shirt, and blue shorts. She was holding onto a popsicle as she swung her white slender legs in front of Li Ang. “Hey, don’t you dislike religion? Why did you ask me to accompany you to the Jingan Temple today?”

“My name is not ‘Hey’ but Chu Yuqian.”

Li Ang replied with an olden-day accent, “I do dislike religion and I have always thought that Buddhist monks are no good.”

“And yet you came?”

“I was too bored this weekend, so I decided to take a walk.”

Li Ang casually threw the wooden stick of the popsicle by the roadside and said, “I intend to ask you out to the zoo. Yin City’s zoo is inhumane. There are no marked prices for the animals inside. How could we purchase them as visitors?”
