This is a cannon, firing around fifteen rounds per minute—that’s the absolute maximum rate of fire—with a range exceeding fourteen kilometers. Its power is comparable to a shoulder-fired anti-tank missile. Of course, at close range, it’s guaranteed to hit our own people, but don’t you think carrying those two massive pieces on your shoulders makes you look significantly more formidable?” Overlord shook his head repeatedly in refusal, and only then did Chu Xuan speak: “Exchanging for this was my suggestion.

Because this shoulder-fired, small, rapid-fire cannon can launch more than just standard shells.

One type of ammunition it can fire is the miniaturized nuclear warhead we might soon acquire. Although the cannon has a major drawback—it’s completely unusable in close combat—it is practically the core of team operations for long-range engagements. Think about it.”

Overlord was straightforward. Since even Chu Xuan proposed it, he simply nodded in agreement. After deciding on the enhancement attribute and the weapon exchange, Overlord walked directly beneath the "Main God" and closed his eyes. Just like the reaction when Zhan Lan reinforced her comrades earlier, a shimmering light curtain descended from the "Main God" and enveloped Overlord. It was only a moment before he opened his eyes. Not only had two steel weapons appeared on the ground, but Overlord also felt his physical strength increase substantially—his power, his speed, even his neural reaction time had improved. Especially when he instinctively entered his Werewolf state, he realized his entire body began to swell.

Everyone nearby stared at Overlord in stunned silence. First, the fur on Overlord’s body grew denser and darker, and the color and quantity of this hair kept changing and increasing. Gradually, the fur covering Overlord’s body reached an exaggerated level. Furthermore, his physique began to expand. Overlord was already tall and imposing, but now his height became absurd, seeming to stretch toward two or even three meters. His entire stature, coupled with the thick pelt covering him, made him look like a massive gorilla at first glance, hardly resembling any form of lycanthrope.

However, Overlord felt excellent. He swung his arms left and right, testing his strength. It was undeniable that the Werewolf bloodline, lacking the energy components of the Blood Race, provided something the Blood Race enhancement did not: immense physical conditioning and raw power. At least, Zheng Zha knew for certain that when he underwent the C-rank Blood Race enhancement, he had never possessed the massive strength and physical quality Overlord now exhibited.

After demonstrating his new condition, Overlord deactivated the werewolf transformation and picked up the two metal weapons from the ground—they were the shoulder-mounted rapid-fire cannons, designed to be fixed onto the shoulders.

They were constructed as left and right units, capable of firing simultaneously, or they could be loaded by someone behind him with newer missiles or shells. When combined, the total weight of the shoulder-mounted rapid-fire cannons was around eighty jin (about 40 kg), and that didn't even account for the weight of the loaded ammunition or missiles. In short, this was not a weapon ordinary people could wield.

Though Overlord claimed he disliked the shoulder-mounted rapid-fire cannons, the moment he actually held the weapons, the man grinned wickedly happy. Yet, after a few chuckles, his brow furrowed: “We have the heavy weapon sorted out, but what should I use for medium and short-range combat? I can’t just keep firing these shoulder-mounted cannons indiscriminately, can I?” Zheng Zha shrugged helplessly, “That’s why you also need to acquire a heavy machine gun. An ordinary infinite-ammo heavy machine gun only costs one D-rank bonus mission. You used a C-rank mission for the Werewolf bloodline and another C-rank mission for this rapid-fire cannon. Don’t you still have one C-rank mission remaining? Besides the D-rank mission needed to enter the Resident Evil world, you can still use two D-rank missions. So, how about exchanging for an infinite-ammo heavy machine gun?”

Overlord could only accept the suggestion reluctantly. Besides carrying the two shoulder-mounted rapid-fire cannons, he was also lugging around a heavy machine gun with infinite ammunition. The man returned to his woman with a wry expression, muttering "Tubular Pulse Emitter" under his breath the entire way—clearly, he hadn't forgotten that sleek, high-tech weapon.

Zheng Zha could only offer a wry smile in return. This was actually something he and Chu Xuan had discussed: addressing the team's lack of heavy firepower. When facing hundreds or thousands of enemies, Overlord using the Tubular Pulse Emitter was no longer sufficient. But when they entered war-themed horror movie worlds, the effectiveness of that firearm diminished significantly due to insufficient range and attack power. Therefore, instead of a suppressive medium-to-long-range heavy weapon, it was better to exchange for true long-range heavy firepower. This shoulder-mounted rapid-fire cannon was one of their experiments.

If this proves viable, once they possess a substantial supply of miniaturized nuclear warheads, they won't have to worry about war-themed horror movies anymore.

After Overlord’s enhancement was complete, it was time for Wang Xia, Ling Dian, Chu Xuan, and Zheng Zha himself to upgrade. They proceeded in order, one by one. Zheng Zha first determined Wang Xia’s enhancement path.

“I don’t know if you’ll agree, but I genuinely feel this enhancement attribute suits you perfectly. It’s called ‘Bomb Dominator.’ The detailed explanation says it grants you Yaoli (demonic energy), allowing you to summon bomb creatures based on the amount of Yaoli within you. While the description seems rather vague to me, based on my searches, the 'Main God' deems you most suitable for this enhancement.”

Zheng Zha said to Wang Xia with a degree of resignation.

Wang Xia’s enhancement attribute was indeed difficult to decide. Firstly, Wang Xia’s specialty lay in reconnaissance and planting explosives. These are crucial skills for ordinary personnel or special forces, but for the Reincarnation Squad, while Wang Xia’s favored explosives are immensely destructive, they lack follow-up potential. As the team advanced, Wang Xia, relying solely on high-tech weaponry, would eventually become a liability, especially when his supply of explosives ran out—his utility would then become negligible. For this reason, Zheng Zha decided Wang Xia should choose the ‘Bomb Dominator’ enhancement attribute.

“The lowest level for this ‘Bomb Dominator’ enhancement is C-rank, progressing upward through B, Double B, A, and up to Double A. The highest level of Bomb Dominator is said to allow the summoning of explosive life forms comparable in power to a miniature nuclear bomb. I imagine the destructive force would be terrifying. What do you say, Wang Xia? Relying only on high-tech weapons isn't a long-term solution. How about reinforcing this attribute?” Wang Xia’s reaction was even more direct than Overlord’s. As a professional soldier, he offered no objections and immediately stood beneath the "Main God" to reinforce the ‘Bomb Dominator’ attribute—though initially, it was only a C-rank enhancement. Still, when Wang Xia obtained this upgrade, he stared blankly for a long time, seemingly unable to believe he had reinforced a C-rank attribute. Then everyone watched as Wang Xia casually opened one hand, and in his palm, a bundle of archaic mine explosives slowly materialized. Wang Xia tossed the bundle about ten meters above his head, and only when it reached its apex did it explode, but its power was pitifully small—certainly limited compared to the high-yield explosives the others had witnessed.

Wang Xia offered a wry smile to the others: “This is the ‘Bomb Dominator’ enhancement. After I reinforced it, a type of energy similar to Neili (inner strength) suddenly appeared in my body, though this energy is easier to control than Neili. As long as I circulate it, I can simulate bombs according to my thoughts, just like that bundle of old-fashioned explosives I just created. As this energy grows stronger, the power of the bombs I can produce increases... But at C-rank, it seems I can only produce the standard old explosive I just showed; I can’t generate others yet. This power level is rather…”

Zheng Zha patted his shoulder reassuringly, “Don’t talk nonsense. This is just a C-rank enhancement! As you upgrade the attribute further, or use this energy more frequently, I believe you’ll be able to self-create skills. For now, your combat effectiveness might be lacking, but that’s fine. Can’t we still make plasma bombs? We can use those to compensate for your immediate combat shortcomings for the time being.”

Wang Xia nodded indifferently. Compared to his personal desires, a man like Wang Xia placed greater emphasis on the team’s will. That’s why he followed Zheng Zha’s suggestion without protest and reinforced the ‘Bomb Dominator.’ Yet, he felt a flicker of internal satisfaction; since he couldn't master Neili, possessing this Yaoli seemed decent enough. In the end, it was a form of energy, closely mirroring the descriptions he’d read in fantasy novels.

Regardless of Wang Xia’s mixed feelings, once his enhancement was done, it was time for Ling Dian’s upgrade. Zheng Zha was already prepared regarding this assassin’s future. He directly told Ling Dian, “Ling Dian, we’re skipping the Gauss sniper rifle. What you need to switch to is your eyes... ‘Dot-Line Demonic Eye,’ a B-rank enhancement attribute. This is what I need you to reinforce!” He jumped to...
