Zhang Yanhang briefly observed the Neck Potential Activation Device, noting that it was entirely silver, giving off an impression of high technology at first glance. Structurally, the lower part resembled a metal probe, while the upper part was a metal sphere the size of a fist.

Although he couldn't disassemble it directly, Zhang Yanhang was still able to use Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to peer through its metal casing and see its intricate and complex internal mechanical structure, as well as the special chip used to control magnetic energy.

How should I put this? With Zhang Yanhang's level of knowledge, although he majored in Computer Science, he wasn't really a traditional engineering student. After all, he only learned some simple computer repairs without getting involved in hardware manufacturing and spent more time learning programming. So, he could proudly say that he completely didn't understand the working principle of this device.

But honestly, given this kind of advanced technology, even if he had studied hardware, he probably still wouldn't understand it. After all, there's no such thing as magnetic energy technology in the Main World.

"Now, the question is, where exactly is this thing supposed to be equipped? It couldn't really be in the neck, could it?"

Zhang Yanhang looked at the long metal probe and felt that if this thing pierced his neck, it might go straight through his windpipe. Although the windpipe was not very important to him now, having it pierced would inevitably affect his ability to speak, which he found unacceptable.

As for why Zhang Yanhang thought of inserting it into the neck right from the beginning, it was mainly because the [Neck Potential Activation Device (Magnetic Energy Embedded)] had magnetic energy embedded in its name, so it was hard not to think in that direction.

"However, since it is magnetic energy embedded, is there a possibility that it has advanced features like magnetic suction? If it can, then it wouldn't need to pierce the windpipe to be equipped."

But after fiddling with it for a while, the [Neck Potential Activation Device (Magnetic Energy Embedded)] still didn't respond, and he didn't find any switches.

Realizing he couldn't find the correct usage method for the [Neck Potential Activation Device (Magnetic Energy Embedded)], Zhang Yanhang decided not to waste any more time and directly sought help from Multiple Choice.

After randomly spending some Energy Value, Zhang Yanhang immediately got the answer he wanted: it turned out that the [Neck Potential Activation Device (Magnetic Energy Embedded)] indeed needed to be inserted into the neck.

However, his previous thought was wrong; the device was not to be inserted into the windpipe but rather connected to the back of the neck and the cervical vertebrae, where it would automatically take effect.

"So it connects with the cervical vertebrae? That means I can equip four simultaneously, right? After all, four heads naturally mean four necks, and also four cervical vertebrae."

After discovering the correct usage method for the [Neck Potential Activation Device (Magnetic Energy Embedded)], Zhang Yanhang quickly placed all one hundred ninety-six of the devices into the Alchemy Array to begin the fusion process.

Compared to the previous massive number of Life Rings, the fusion of the Neck Potential Activation Devices was undoubtedly much easier this time. Zhang Yanhang completed the first round of fusion in just five batches, resulting in 98 Neck Potential Activation Devices +1.

Since there were still quite a lot of them, he immediately began the second round of fusion, completing it in three batches, ultimately producing a total of 49 Neck Potential Activation Devices +2.

However, during this fusion, Zhang Yanhang noticed something odd; even though it was just fused to +2, the Neck Potential Activation Device didn't feel as smooth as the usual +2 accessories, inexplicably feeling like it was nearing its limit. It shouldn't feel this way at such a fusion level according to reason.

The good news, however, was that after reaching +2, Zhang Yanhang found that the Neck Potential Activation Device had advanced to Dark Gold Quality.

So, Zhang Yanhang quickly proceeded to the third round of fusion. This time, he used two batches to produce twenty-four Neck Potential Activation Devices +3, with one Neck Potential Activation Device +2 left alone.

Since twenty-four was still quite a lot, Zhang Yanhang didn't stop the fusion process and immediately continued to the next round of fusion.

Upon fusing twelve Neck Potential Activation Devices +4, Zhang Yanhang wanted to continue further but discovered that +4 seemed to be the limit of the Neck Potential Activation Device, unable to continue fusion.

To continue fusion, he would have to try to break through the limit.

Upon realizing this fact, Zhang Yanhang didn't rush to immediately attempt breaking the limit. Instead, he first opened the attribute list of the Neck Potential Activation Device +4 to take a look, wanting to know what condition the device was in after reaching +4.

[Neck Potential Activation Device (Magnetic Energy Embedded) +4]

[Quality: Dark Gold]

[Type: Equipment]

[Origin: Ashen World, Umbrella Biochemical Test Field, Terra City, Zhang Yanhang.]

[Durability: 75/75]

[Defensive Power: 60]

[Additional Attributes: Strength +44% (+12%).]

[Usage Requirements: Strength 100 points.]

[Score: 520 (Dark Gold Item scores range from 441 to 530.)]

[Description: The highly capable manufacturing department once again did not disappoint me. Not only did they manufacture the new type of Tyrant I designed, but they also completed the brain chip where I randomly marked some parameters. Although the cost slightly exceeded expectations, they eventually made it…]

"Originally, before fusion, the Neck Potential Activation Device had a score of only four hundred points, equivalent to a Golden Quality with a medium score. Now, after four fusions, it has advanced from Golden Quality to Dark Gold Quality, with a score increased to five hundred and twenty points, equivalent to a high score for Dark Gold Quality.

These four fusion processes increased the score of the Neck Potential Activation Device by a total of one hundred and twenty points, with each fusion averaging an increase of thirty points."

Zhang Yanhang remembered that, previously, it seemed like the Life Ring only increased the score by twenty-five points per fusion, whereas the Neck Potential Activation Device had five points higher. Considering that the Neck Potential Activation Device started with Golden Quality, whereas the Life Ring only had Light Golden Quality, this made sense.

"The original golden-quality Neck Potential Activation Device required only eighty-five points of Strength Attribute to be used normally. After being promoted to Dark Gold Quality, it now requires one hundred points of Strength Attribute to use, which is a growth of fifteen points in Strength Attribute, quite a significant increase."

Zhang Yanhang remembered that the equipment he fused before generally only needed about ten points or so of attribute value increase, but this Neck Potential Activation Device required a fifteen-point increase in Strength Attribute.

However, compared to the usage requirements, the additional attributes of the Neck Potential Activation Device are undoubtedly more important.

"The original additional attribute of the Neck Potential Activation Device was a 32% Strength Effect bonus, which has now increased to 44%, a growth of 12% in Strength Effect bonus. Spread across four fusions, each fusion improved the Strength Effect bonus by 3%, which is unexpectedly quite a lot."

After checking the attribute list of the Neck Potential Activation Device, Zhang Yanhang did not rush to equip it immediately but instead placed it back into the Alchemy Array to attempt a Limit Break.

After all, Limit Break only requires eight Neck Potential Activation Devices at +4, and he currently has twelve, more than enough, so even after the fusion, there are still spare equipment for the other three necks.

Thus, Zhang Yanhang quickly started this fusion. Because it was a Limit Break, this fusion was slower than before, but fortunately, it wasn't too problematic, and about a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Yanhang had successfully completed the fusion.

Looking at the Neck Potential Activation Device +5, which was already flashing with an orange glow, Zhang Yanhang didn't hesitate. He immediately opened its attribute list to see how much growth it had gained after this fusion to +5.

[Neck Potential Activation Device (Magnetic Energy Embedded) +5]

[Quality: Orange]

[Type: Equipment]

[Origin: Ashen World, Umbrella Biochemical Test Field, Terra City, Zhang Yanhang.]

[Durability: 78/78]

[Defensive Power: 62]

[Additional Attributes: Strength +53% (+9%).]

[Usage requirements: Strength 115 points.]

[Score: 580 (Orange Items score ranges from 531 to 680.)]

[Description: The overly competent manufacturing department didn't disappoint me this time either. Not only did they actually manufacture the new Tyrant I designed, but they also managed to finish making the Brain Chip, even though I randomly assigned some parameters. The cost exceeded expectations somewhat, but it was manufactured in the end... ]

"After being promoted to Orange Quality through a Limit Break fusion to +5, the equipment score of the Neck Potential Activation Device increased from five hundred and twenty points to five hundred and eighty points, a total increase of sixty points, changing from a high-score Dark Gold Quality to a low-score Orange Quality."

For this level of growth, Zhang Yanhang found it quite typical. After all, the previous Neck Potential Activation Device increased by thirty points with each fusion, so after being promoted to Orange Quality, these sixty points are merely twice the score, a rather standard outcome.

"It's a pity, if it were just one more point, it could have reached a medium score for Orange Quality, but at five hundred and eighty points, it's indeed just a low score. After all, the Orange Quality range spans a hundred and fifty points, and five hundred and eighty points is just fifty points above the pass mark."

But fortunately, a point more or a point less doesn't really matter that much, so Zhang Yanhang wasn't too troubled by it.

"When the Neck Potential Activation Device was promoted to Dark Gold Quality, the usage requirement increased by fifteen points in Strength Attribute. Again this time, when promoted to Orange Quality, it increased another fifteen points in Strength Attribute requirement, turning it from a Fourth Tier Equipment requiring only a hundred points of Strength to use into a Fifth Tier High-level Equipment."

But this is quite normal, as Orange Quality itself is Fifth Tier Quality, and having Fifth Tier level usage requirements is naturally very reasonable. It's just that Zhang Yanhang indeed couldn't meet it, but fortunately, it isn't a big problem as he has Hundred Taboos to directly ignore the usage requirements.

"Speaking of which, since I have Hundred Taboos now, can I even directly use some female-specific equipment in the future?"

Although Zhang Yanhang himself hasn't really encountered such equipment, he thought the group owner might have such things, and perhaps he could ask her in the future to see if he can try getting some.

But Zhang Yanhang thought again and realized that very few items can be used only by women due to physiological reasons and not by men, since most items were originally invented for male use.

Take, for example, stockings, high heels, skirts, and cosmetics—these modern female staples were all initially designed to serve the male demographic.

Even sanitary pads originated as modified bandages for soldiers during wartime. It can be said that items driven by female demand are pitifully few, as it is well known there were no feminist movements in ancient times, always a male-dominated society.

Incidentally, Zhang Yanhang had actually used sanitary pads before, but he used them as insoles during military training in his freshman year.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang felt that equipment that only women could use should indeed be quite rare, otherwise, he wouldn't have never encountered one until now.

"After being promoted to Orange Quality, the Strength bonus provided by the additional attributes of the Neck Potential Activation Device increased from the original 44% to 53%, a growth of 9% in Strength Effect bonus. Previously, each fusion increased by 3%, and this Limit Break was equivalent to triple that. The increase was unexpectedly substantial."

After reviewing the attribute list of the Orange Quality Neck Potential Activation Device +5, Zhang Yanhang took stock of the equipment he fused this time.

This time, he fused one Orange Quality Neck Potential Activation Device +5, four Dark Gold Quality Neck Potential Activation Devices +4, and one Dark Gold Quality Neck Potential Activation Device +2. Overall, it was more than enough to supply usage for four necks.

But then, Zhang Yanhang quickly began to study how to correctly use this Neck Potential Activation Device. After all, the thought of directly stabbing this thick device into his neck was quite painful.
