Chapter 332 Item Upgrade: → ? ? ?
"Brother Yu, what about you?"
Everyone had revealed their number of commemorative coins, except for Chen Yu, the undisputed first place who hadn't disclosed his.
Wang Mengmeng asked curiously.
Chen Yu replied in a flat tone, "Eighteen."
"Whoa!"
Several girls exclaimed.
But Chen Yu didn't care at all. After all, his real reward wasn't these commemorative coins...
Although... the significance of the commemorative coins was extraordinary.
They were almost equivalent to an item.
Chen Yu still remembered when in the Global Slaughterhouse, Song Xingmian had used protective shields one after another, which allowed her to be fearless and maneuver even when facing strong enemies.
People like Wang Mengmeng and Li Mengyao had little combat power, so possessing commemorative coins could be considered a powerful life-saving measure.

"Brother Yu, what are you smiling about?"
Wang Mengmeng paused slightly, looking at the corners of Chen Yu's mouth, which were slightly curled up.
Chen Yu coughed, "It's nothing. Being able to leave the mission alive is always a good thing..."
Zuo Shi and Yang Kexin nodded repeatedly.
"Yeah, I can't wait to get on the bus!"
"Only two minutes left!"
"After getting on the bus, I'm going to sleep for a few days!"
"The next mission won't be soon, right?"
"I don't think so... as long as it's not a mandatory mission for everyone, I'll choose to rest~"
Several girls had already started chatting about their happy life after getting on the bus.
Only the panel in front of Chen Yu was refreshing crazily, changing frantically, until the final equivalent supplies appeared—
[Warning: Backpack capacity insufficient]
[5108 Carnival Commemorative Coins cannot be stored]
[Exchanging for equivalent supplies]
[Item Upgrade: Carnival Commemorative Coin → Carnival Commemorative Medal]
[Item Upgrade: Carnival Commemorative Medal → ???]
[Please select the required Talent Return:]
[1. Bumper Car Hammer: Weapon, 50% chance to trigger "Ejection" upon hitting, knocking the target back several meters]
[2. Bumper: Automatically triggers a shield when attacked, and reflects part of the impact, cooldown 1 hour]
[3. Haunted House Mask: After wearing, constitution and Agility decrease by 30%; spirit and Perception increase by 30%; insight and resistance to supernatural phenomena are greatly improved]
Chen Yu took a brief look at the three options.
All of them were top-tier defensive items.
They corresponded to knockback, absorption/counterattack, and supernatural resistance, respectively.
To be honest, this choice was far inferior to the time he got the [demon-slaying gloves].
But there was no helping it.
You have to know, that time it was a ten-thousand-fold return...
Chen Yu only thought for two seconds before the first item was ruled out.
Knock back a few meters?
This kind of control effect might be useful against ordinary zombies or low-level Awakened, but it was purely useless in his hands.
He never relied on probability to kill people; 90% of people would die in one strike, so who cared about that few meters of knockback?
As for the second [Bumper], it was equivalent to a superior version of the commemorative coins, but not entirely superior...
After all, the commemorative coins had no cooldown!
In other words, Chen Yu felt the value of thousands of commemorative coins was greater than the [Bumper]!
This feeling was somewhat similar to:
Class Monitor's bottled water × 100 → medical-grade sterile remineralized drinking water × 1...
Of course, it didn't rule out that its protective shield strength was far higher than the commemorative coins, nor did it rule out the reflection of some impact, but regardless, the cooldown was a fatal flaw!
Overall, it was tasteless to eat, but a pity to discard!
And the third one...
Haunted House Mask —
After wearing, constitution and Agility decrease by 30%!
spirit and Perception increase by 30%!
Insight and resistance to supernatural phenomena are greatly improved!
One debuff, two buffs!
Looking at it in conjunction with Chen Yu's panel:
[Basic Attributes]
constitution: 106 (1+5)
Agility: 43 (28+5)
Perception: 39 (24+5)
charisma: 25 (10+5)
spirit: 21 (6+5)
luck: 25 (10+5)
Calculating carefully, a 30% debuff was still quite terrifying!
constitution dropped from 106 to 74, Agility dropped from 43 to just over 30!
Although his constitution was still more than seven times that of an ordinary person...
But Chen Yu always felt a bit unsafe...
And in exchange, spirit and Perception increased by 30%. These two items were precisely his long-standing weaknesses. Perception rose from 39 to just over 50, and spirit rose from 21 to 27.
This value had already touched the threshold of top-tier Perception-type Awakened.
More importantly, that line: "Insight and resistance to supernatural phenomena are greatly improved."
Facing supernatural missions, brute force alone was not enough.
Insight and resistance could at least ensure that he wouldn't be easily toyed with by certain rules... right?
After careful consideration, Chen Yu still gave up on the [Bumper] and chose the [Haunted House Mask]!
The next second, a mask appeared in his personal backpack...
"Buzz!!!"
Before Chen Yu could even check it, a burst of light gushed out from the crack in the ground, covering everything!
...
...
When the light dissipated, Chen Yu had returned to his seat on the Baby Bus.
"Brother Yu!"
Deng Yuxin was the first to call out.
But someone was faster.
Zhang Wanyue had already unscrewed a bottle of water at some point, stepped in front of Chen Yu, and without a word, grabbed his chin, shoved the bottle mouth directly into his mouth, and tilted it up.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp~~"
"Glug, glug~"
Chen Yu widened his eyes, his throat couldn't even swallow in time, the water overflowed from the corners of his mouth and streamed down his neck.
"?"
He reached out to push away Zhang Wanyue's hand, almost choking.
On the other side, Qiao Xi had already squeezed over, using both hands to feel Chen Yu up and down, pressing while asking: "Does it hurt here? How about here? Take a deep breath, inhale deeply—"
Chen Yu felt itchy all over from her pressing.
He really couldn't help it: "Wait! Wait! Don't get close to me yet!"
Li Mengyao, Liu Manqing, Shen Qingci, Lu Xiaoyu, and others stopped where they were, looking at Chen Yu with full concern.
