Under One Person, Engage in Black Technology

Chapter 194 The fight begins

It is well known that the essence of film, television, game, and animation production in various countries is to cater to the market. Whether it's the spiritual or cultural needs of the people, these factors guide the production of entertainment products. Correspondingly, the specifications and processes for producing these cultural "products" vary greatly depending on the national context, resulting in a diverse and vibrant final product.

Extending this further, in any country's cultural industry and film and television works, there will always be relatively unique and reliable entities. Whether you call them the mainstream or classic works, because their production plans are extremely sound, they are naturally "hard to have problems" and have "good prospects," and the output of such projects has always been exceptionally high.

Just like Korean dramas, their dramas are based on national pride. As long as they can make the people feel "proud", there is no problem.

Looking beyond the surface, the reason why such dramas exist in countries around the world is simple: they are difficult to make mistakes in.

And... now it seems that the armor Ma Xianhong is wearing and his appearance absolutely meet the cultural design standards of 'righteousness'.

Correspondingly, the temporary workers of Na Du Tong who are now on the opposite side of Ma Xianhong, although they are essentially working for the Na Du Tong government, now appear to be villains because of their opponent's 'bright red' steel armor.

This is actually normal. No matter who it is, they would feel a little uneasy when they see Ma Xianhong in his predominantly red battle armor.

Therefore, none of the people from Na Du Tong dared to make a move, and they were all inwardly criticizing Liu. Even Feng Baobao, who was the least sensible among them, did not dare to act rashly.

This situation is actually quite common; it's unexpected yet reasonable.

Liu Keyi turned around, saw the paint job on the armor, and immediately understood his awkward situation. He cursed himself for being a comedian several times before speaking out:
"Sorry, guys, this thing has been officially 'incorporated' now. That's how it's designed. You know what I mean. Uh, I forgot to consider that when I brought it here."

"Ahem... I just wanted to say that I didn't come here to prank everyone on purpose, please wait for me a moment."

As Liu Ke awkwardly extended his hand and snapped his fingers, Black Wall obeyed the command, connected to the control terminal of Ma Xianhong's battle armor, and directly changed its paint scheme.

Based on Liu Ke's understanding and application of the Phantom Tank technology a few days ago, the outer layer of the Iron Armor can now be directly transformed into an illusion, which will not dissipate even when entering combat, and can be considered a temporary change in appearance.

After five or six breaths of transformation, the armor's appearance returned to normal, adopting the color scheme commonly seen in Marvel movies, resembling Iron Man's armor.

When they saw that the armor had 'returned to normal', Black Pipe and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

After another five or six breaths, Black Pipe gave his colleagues a wink, and then said loudly, "If I remember correctly, we can go all out, right?"

Seeing Liu Ke nod, Hei Guan pondered for a moment and then said meaningfully, "Then let's do it, since you've said so."

After looking around, Wang Zhenqiu wiped his cheek, transformed into the mask of Sun Wukong, and said, "I've also wanted to test the power of your thing for a long time."

After hearing this, Liu Ke first glanced at the black tube, and then said to the group of Na Du Tong, "Thanks."

Then he said loudly, "Everyone, please give me a little more time so that I can give Village Chief Ma a few more final words of advice."

After saying that, Liu Ke turned around and took eight or nine steps to reach Village Chief Ma, who was standing in steel armor and observing the surroundings.

He asked, "How's it going, Lao Ma? Although... you're probably a little shocked, it's been three or four minutes now, you should be used to it by now, right?"

The armored vehicle turned its head, and an electronic voice came from its visor, saying, "Almost done. This 'armor'... did you really make it?"

After Liu Ke turned around, he said, "You should be able to tell where the 'creativity' of this armor came from. I designed the interior. But yours is a bit special. It was... uh, I should say it was made by the concerted efforts of the people."

Ma Xianhong, inside the armor, chuckled helplessly before saying, "The masses? They certainly noticed. If it weren't for the striking paint job, I would have thought I was dreaming."

This answer made Liu Ke grin and say, "Hey! You're exaggerating. You're trying to determine it by appearance? Whether what you have is real or not, why don't you try it with the [Divine Refinement]?"

"No matter how realistic the dream manipulation is, can it simulate the refining process of your [Divine Refinement]?"

"If you find internal inspection troublesome, why don't you just probe the armor directly?"

Upon hearing this, and seeing that Liu Ke did not object and even seemed to encourage him, Ma Xianhong immediately began refining his hands. In an instant, the metal on the hands of his armor began to activate, flowing with Qi.

After Liu Ke recorded Ma Xianhong's refining process of the armor through his prosthetic eye, the black wall in his mind said to him, "Master, the sample has been recorded. Only three test items remain for this operation."

Liu Ke nodded, and seeing that Ma Xianhong had adapted to the situation, he loudly said to the others from Na Du Tong, "I'm ready here."

After saying that, Liu Ke walked to the side. Once he was a little further away from the 'center of the field', he projected a large starting pistol, raised his hand, and pulled the trigger.

Snapped!
As a burst of fireworks exploded in mid-air, everyone present tacitly understood that this was the signal that the 'second half' had begun.

Hei Guan and Wang Zhenqiu exchanged only a glance with the others before each of them raised their fists and feet, grabbed their weapons, and leaped away to surround and attack the steel armored figures not far away.

Feng Baobao first ran a few steps, turned a corner, and retrieved the Okamoto 001 dinner knife that had fallen to the ground. She then infused it with a large amount of Qi, restoring its circulation. Relying on her years of experience in handling the treasure, she regained control of the dinner knife.

Xiao Zizai adjusted his glasses and didn't say much. He simply started jumping and taking small steps to re-examine his body and warm up his spirit.

Only Old Meng...

The man had been observing quietly, as he genuinely couldn't understand what was going on.

He had assumed that, given the company's track record, they would likely back down after Liu Ke so openly expressed his opposition to eliminating Biyou Village. But who knew that a fight would break out again?

With the fight about to begin, his mind a complete mess, he ignored the village chief and instead moved closer to Liu Ke, then loudly asked, "Little Liu, I'll be so bold as to call you that for now. What's going on here?"

"How come I... can't understand any of this?"

Seeing his puzzled expression, Liu Ke rubbed his forehead and scratched his head, saying, "Uncle Meng, since we're not going to fight, let's move to the side and leave the space for them." Then, he pointed in a direction, patted Old Meng on the shoulder, and went with him to a small hill in the distance. They sat down as if watching a concert and began to talk.

……

No sooner said than done, the instant the other party started moving, Ma Xianhong raised his left arm to protect himself.

boom!
boom!
Village Chief Ma was no fool, nor was he in the mood to deliberately use the Iron Man armor to pose. The reason he raised his left arm was because Hei Guan and Wang Zhenqiu had already attacked first.

And the result of this reckless charge and forceful confrontation was exactly as everyone expected—the Iron Man armor was completely unaffected by the impact; only the raised arm armor swayed slightly before coming to a complete stop.

Although the two men with black pipes were severely shaken, everyone knew the technique of pressing forward in one go. After calming down and unleashing their energy again, they exerted their strength once more and pressed down on the steel armor.

At the same time, Xiao Zizai, who was a little further away, also used the "Crossing the River on a Reed" technique to rush over and took the opportunity to strike the abdomen of the steel armor with the move "One Slap, Two Separations".

boom!
Visibly, a large patch of paint had chipped off the armor where Xiao Zizai had struck it. Fortunately, this area originally had no pattern and was not within the scope of the [Phantom System]'s transformation coverage.

After being struck, Ma Xianhong glanced at the feedback from his eyelid hood and found that... there was no feedback, and the area showed no damage.

'Let alone the Black Armor, if it had been a protective magic weapon that withstood the attack, it would have shattered more than one layer.'

Ma Xianhong knew the strength of the three attackers just now; just by looking at them, he knew they were definitely not weak.

However, he felt absolutely nothing inside the armor. In contrast, his protective magic artifact was as fragile as glass.

After a moment of hesitation, he suddenly swung his arm, shoving the three people in front of him aside. Then, he turned around and punched with his right hand, forcing Feng Baobao, who was waiting to approach, back.

Then, Ma Xianhong, inside the armor, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled using the Qi circulation method.

To be honest, he felt utterly disgusted and furious with the group of "employees" from NaDuTong who had come to destroy the village.

Of course, he also knew that his brother Liu Ke, who had helped him, was probably acquainted with the other group. Although he now had the help of Liu Ke's "armor," he couldn't just kill him indiscriminately.

However, this did not stop him from teaching those people from Nadutong a lesson.

After the [Divine Refinement] method of nourishing the spirit had been fully circulated through the major and minor cycles, Village Chief Ma's state of being consumed by anger and suffering from the four evil influences was completely suppressed. It was as if a bucket of cold water from the Northern Sea had been poured over his head, and his mind calmed down completely.

After thinking for a moment, Ma Xianhong spoke from inside the armor, asking, "If I'm not mistaken, this steel armor should have other capabilities, right?"

Black Wall replied quickly: "Of course, Mr. Ma. I should remind you that, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the weapon system is restricted in the current test mode. You can use the basic palm cannon to fight the enemy."

Ma Xianhong narrowed his eyes and politely replied to the AI, "Understood."

After mastering the [Divine Refinement], Ma Xianhong gained a certain degree of control over the entire set of steel armor.

However, attacks such as missiles, projectiles, and chest-mounted light cannons are uncontrollable for reasons currently unknown. The only weapon available is the palm-sized cannon mentioned by Black Wall.

But that's enough. Not to mention there's another [Palm Cannon] technique to use, even without anything else, the defensive power of the Iron Man armor alone is enough to 'beat up' the opponent.

In a sense, this fighting style of killing the opponent with "flesh" is common in the world of supernatural beings. For example, those who cultivate physical strength techniques such as the Golden Bell Shield, Iron Shirt, and Vajra Indestructible use this method to fight their enemies.

As for the representative figure among them, it is Liao Tietou, who stubbornly rammed his head into the Old Celestial Master at the Luotian Grand Ceremony a few days ago.

After careful consideration, Ma Xianhong stood up and rushed towards Hei Guan and the others.

boom!
As the steel armor's fists shot out with the momentum of flight, they directly knocked Hei Guan and Wang Zhenqiu back more than twenty meters.

Seeing this, Xiao Zizai, who hadn't been attacked, immediately dodged and retreated. His methods were also experienced; he wouldn't try to fight the 'Iron Man' head-on. Instead, he used a leaping, circular step and a Dragon Suction Water move to try and hold onto the Iron Man's body, creating an opportunity for his teammates.

However... due to the 'force field' provided by the reactor on the chest of the Iron Man armor, Xiao Zizai's consecutive Dragon Suction and Flower Picking Techniques had no effect whatsoever.

However... Brother Xiao, who used those two methods, did attract Village Chief Ma's attention with his classic Buddhist kung fu posture, which can be considered an unconventional way of achieving his goal.

At that moment, Feng Baobao sneaked around to Ma Xianhong's back and slashed out with her sword.

Swish!
For some reason, the armor that had previously only lost some paint after being attacked several times was now scratched with a noticeable mark.

The fact that Feng Baobao, who had always been regarded as a 'beast-like' genius, was able to achieve such results truly caught the attention of everyone present.

Feng Baobao's attack was effective, but the pure-hearted girl did not feel any smug joy. Instead, she leaped up again and slashed at the reactor of the Iron Man armor with her backhand.

However, such a straightforward movement trajectory was naturally captured by the Iron Man armor.

Before Ma Xianhong could react, the armor took over intelligently, letting the AI ​​handle the situation. After predicting Feng Baobao's attack route, the armor raised its right hand and grabbed the opponent's wrist holding the knife.

Then, the armor raised its other hand and swiftly fired several palm-mounted cannon shots.

Although Feng Baobao raised her leg high in time and slammed it down on the hand controlling the armor, breaking free of the restraints and using the momentum to jump away, the palm cannon's aim was already complete.

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
