Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Research Directions for

Exoskeleton Armor

Floating airship.

This was a colossal black- tech floating airship measuring three kilometers in length, five hundred meters in width, and comprised twelve stories in total.

It was like a gigantic ship equipped with some sort of black-tech levitation device that had leaped from sailing the seas to soaring the skies.

The very bottom layer housed a plethora of black-tech devices such as energy, levitation, flight, stability, and control systems, all centralized within this layer.

The uppermost layer, however, was etched with countless dense spirit patterns and symbols, forming a large array that protected the entire floating airship. When flying, it would generate a shield to prevent attacks from wild beasts. The remaining ten levels were residential areas. The top three were first-class cabins, further divided into VIP first-class, luxury first-class, and standard first-class; the middle three layers consisted of single-berth cabins, multi­berth cabins, and hard seat cabins; and the bottom four held the cargo holds and the like.

At that moment, within the VIP first-class cabin, Zi Liyuan sat leisurely on a recliner, sipping a drink, munching on fruits, and admiring the beautiful landscape of blue sky, white clouds, green mountains, and clear waters from the balcony.

Arranged in a row beside him, Shen Yurou, Fan Yuer, Fan Runer, Fan Binger, Fan Qinger, all dressed lightly, lay on sun loungers, basking in the soft sunlight.

Not far behind them, four attractive maids in sultry cheongsams were constantly serving them a variety of fruits, drinks, snacks, and other foods.

As a VIP first-class cabin, there were only two on the entire floating airship, comparable to the presidential suites of six-star hotels, complete with dedicated servants to cater to the needs of the cabin owners.

However, the conditions for staying were extremely stringent; if you do not meet certain special criteria, not even the captain would pay you any attention. And the lowest threshold for entry was a ticket worth ten million Dragon Coins; once this basic requirement was met, it all depended on whether you complied ’ with any of the other conditions.

Fourth Order Level 100 peak experts, government mayors, military city commanders, city defense force chiefs… and valedictorians from the state, among others.

All in all, the summary was clear: high position, weighty power, strong ability, and insanely rich!

Zi Liyuan, this year’s national college entrance examination top scorer, along with his substantial wealth, met one of the rigid conditions, securing a VIP first-class cabin.

“Xiao Yurou, how’s the research on that metal lizard going?”

After leisurely drinking a sip of his beverage, he summoned a maid with a wave of his hand. Zi Liyuan turned to lie on his stomach, exposing his bare back, and the maid, very proficiently, took out some kind of skincare oil and began to massage him.

Not bad, the spiritual power has increased considerably after the modification, and I’ve nearly fully deciphered the technology on it. The intelligence template technology that you mentioned has been completely analyzed, but learning and enhancing it will take a bit more time,” Yurou replied.

Since acquiring the silver, hero-quality toy metal lizard, Shen Yurou spent her time studying and analyzing it whenever possible. By now, she had almost thoroughly researched it, integrating some of the technology into the exoskeleton sniper armor she had created.

Given a little more time, she would be able to produce the “Human Exoskeleton Sniper Armor – Type Two (Silver),” building on the foundation of Type One and achieving a major upgrade, which would surely raise its attributes significantly. “That’s really good. Try, when you have time, to simplify the Armor Type One and create a rudimentary version usable at Level 20. The Fan sisters are only at First Order Level 25, so let them level up more safely by grinding in instances,” Zi Liyuan advised.

The Fan Family Four Sisters were all of the same level, each a living-class Alchemist by profession. Although Fan Binger had managed to concoct a Second Order zombie potion, it was only by harnessing the combined Spiritual Power of the four sisters through her innate mind dream ability that she barely succeeded, yet her own level had not truly broken through to Second Order.

Since the four sisters had followed him, he felt obliged to make them stronger, and the urgent priority was to expedite the elevation of their levels.

Of course, when Zi Liyuan left with the four sisters from the Fan Family, he had already selected four sets of silver equipment focused on the magical series and enhancing Spirit at Level 20 from his backpack space, preparing to equip them. However, this stuff was mainly suitable for their alchemy use, for leveling up, they still had to rely on the mechanical weapons of mass destruction made by Shen Yurou.

“Why bother with incomplete armor? Just take a sniper rifle, carry enough bombs, and isn’t it easy to breeze through dungeons?”

Shen Yurou wasn’t happy, especially since she was making mechanical equipment specifically for the Fan Family Four Sisters.

These four identical vixens clearly came to steal her position as the legitimate consort, so why should she even make equipment for them?

The exoskeleton sniper armor you’re making now is suitable for long-range sniping, but its close-combat defensive capabilities are limited.

I want you to make an incomplete version, removing the long-range capabilities and turning it into close-combat armor, and improve its defensive abilities by a notch.

In that way, it will be more suitable for lower-level professionals since not everyone has the talent and practice for long-range shooting.

You think everyone’s like you, with a talent as if it came with a lock and key, possessing that kind of BUG ability!”

Shen Yurou’s ability to develop blueprints was heaven-defying-the gun series blueprints, gunpowder series blueprints, bomb series blueprints, and exoskeleton armor series blueprints; these items’ value was so high, they were bound to attract the coveting of powerful families and evil forces.

Before their power was great enough to fear no one, they could become prey for others.

Therefore, it would be best to have a powerful force providing protection, and Zi Liyuan had his eyes on the Dragon Academy, government, and militaiy- these three most powerful forces within the Great Xia Empire.

Becoming a student of the Dragon Academy naturally meant receiving the academy’s protection, which could eliminate many potential threats.

As for the government and military, these two large forces, they had to strive for support by themselves.

With the series of blueprints researched by Shen Yurou, as soon as they were revealed, they were sure to draw serious attention from the government and especially the military.

The Great Xia Empire, with an army of hundreds of millions, defending the Nine Great Divine Provinces, could maintain internal stability and peace only by battling various monsters in bloody fights.

However, the casualty rate in the military was equally terrifying, with an extremely high mortality rate among new recruits every year.

If Shen Yurou could develop a highly defensive armor specifically to reduce the mortality rate of new recruits, she would certainly gain favor with the military and receive substantial support and assistance.

Once she was recognized by the military, those noble families and evil forces coveting her blueprints would have no choice but to hold back for fear of harming something valuable.

And the military of the Great Xia Empire controls a lot of special resources on Blue Star, like technology items from goblins, gnomes, dwarves, and the Mechanical Race, etc.

Once she had thoroughly researched these and her accumulation of technology climbed, the production of mechas, warships, and even interstellar spaceships was not out of the question!

Makes sense, I’ll start doing the deductions and create the close-combat prototype exoskeleton armor right away.”

After the exchange, Shen Yurou nodded in agreement, ready to start working immediately but was interrupted by him once again.
