Having seen off Yang Peng, Li Ming emerged from the healing pod at ten in the morning.
"This healing pod is quite good," he observed in the mirror, noting that the bullet hole in his shoulder had almost fully healed, save for the newly grown flesh that was slightly pink.
"The defensive array armor I got yesterday isn't bad," Li Ming mused, its capacity for active defense was essential, and upgrading it could enhance the armor's strength.
"It still needs 700 points of metal energy to upgrade, which I don't have enough of at the moment, and the Control Bar is also stretched thin..." Li Ming paused, then shook his head:
"I almost forgot, the Control Bar isn't the only way to use it."
In the bathroom mirror, a layer of gray-black metallic scales like armor appeared on Li Ming's bare, muscular chest, clinging to his skin and undulating as if breathing, giving a strong sense of security.
