Chapter 17: System and Science
Ian knew he had to be careful in his decision-making regarding how to spend his biomass. Now, with 2,456 biomass in store—quite a sum—he'll be able to increase his body size to another four meters, considering that every meter increase costs 500 biomass!
With a grin, Ian didn't hesitate any longer. What is there to hesitate for? Although the upgrades of focusing on body size seem to be narrow-minded for others, it is also the current most practical. After all, increased body size means an increase of overall comprehensive battle prowess without worrying about mobility problems that usually come with big size. This is also the cheating capabilities of his body customization system!
Before that though...
'System, is 400 biomass enough to increase the flame or heat resistance of my exoskeletal armor?' Asked Ian, worriedly on his system.
After all, increasing his heat or fire resistance is a must for the current circumstances. Garry was known for his blue flame to the point he was given the "Walking Flare" title. Was Ian stupid enough to ignore this point? In battle, as long as you grasp the enemies' weaknesses and strengths, you'll be able to gain the upper hand. If he ignores Garry's blue flame, then he'll surely be the one to suffer.
DING!
[I suggest customizing/adding molybdenum metal to your exoskeletal armor. It's also enough for your 400 biomass budget. However, this metal isn't the best. I suggest to invest another 500 biomass for tungsten instead.]
Ian: "???"
What the fuck is molybdenum metal?
