Chapter 133 Armor Combination

The dark web is a mixed bag; some sell intelligence, some take on freelance work, and others specialize in exposing the dark history of schools.

However, these melons cost money, even though there are many of them.

The website was called "Boss's Message Board," and he didn't know what it meant, but he happily went along with it anyway. Just then, he saw the boss post: "@Everyone, I'm going on a mission for a few days. Don't come back with nothing. You guys need to upload some valuable stuff so the boss can have money to buy new equipment."

"Okay, okay, is that how it's going to be? Then boss, don't sleep too soundly on missions, or you'll die out there."

Yi Lian was also surprised. Their boss was their superior, and sometimes he would even reveal exam content or leak exam questions.

It's clear that the leader is a very influential figure in the academy, even a prominent one.

"What kind of mission requires the boss to go on a business trip? Is he going to save the world?"

"No way, I still prefer to see the boss play the fool."

A group of people were chatting happily about the details of the mission, while Yilian naturally went offline to gather information that was worth paying attention to.

"Was there any leak of exam questions for the monthly exam? My average score is almost too low, please let me know."

"Aren't the question types for monthly exams always the same few kinds?"

"I have inside information on this. It's said that the next monthly exam will be a new challenge, another kind of magic-suppressing event. However, it won't prohibit your spells and Noble Phantasms, but will forcibly turn you into a child, weakening your physical abilities and stamina."

Upon seeing this intelligence, Yilian silently wrote it down, feeling quite pleased with herself; she had gotten some intelligence for free again today.

However, the information here may not be accurate, and he needs to verify it from multiple sources.

Soon after reading the chat, he opened the boss's private chat.

"Boss, I'll transfer the website maintenance points to you," Yi Lian said, transferring a sum of points at the same time.

"You've got a real business sense. You've managed to turn our abandoned websites into something amazing. But be careful, don't push the boundaries too far, or I won't be able to cover for you."

The boss happily accepted the points. This website was originally the predecessor of the dark web, but it was abandoned, and everything inside was transferred. He figured it was a waste to leave it idle, so he decided to rent it out.

I never expected that my junior would pull off such a big stunt. His current daily revenue is even approaching that of the intelligence website that his little circle has been running for so long.

"Don't worry, I guarantee it'll only skirt the line, not cross it," Yi Lian immediately assured her. "By the way, boss, be careful on missions, or I won't be able to find anyone to collect the rent next month."

"Don't worry, your boss has done dozens of missions, even seen the apocalypse, how could I possibly fail here?" the boss said. "I'm not talking anymore, I need to prepare my equipment for the mission, goodbye."

"goodbye."

Soon, Yi Lian continued diving into the website. He didn't even know Li Ge had returned, and Li Ge seemed to see that he was busy and didn't disturb him.

Meanwhile, within the executive department.

"Lieutenant, are you personally leading this mission? That would be quite an extraordinary level," someone suggested.

"After all, the enemy is a traitor to the Church of Order. He was able to rise to the rank of cardinal in the Church of Order and repeatedly evade capture after his defection, so this time I have to take action personally." The person called "adjutant" was a senior student in military uniform.

If Li Ge were here, he would realize that he seemed to have seen this senior in the vice principal's office many times before, and that he seemed to be the vice principal's secretary.

"This mission has deployed almost the strongest team; everyone here is an elite among elites. I hope things go well, and—" he began, "come back alive, and don't let it all slip by unexpectedly."

"learn!"

This is also the aftermath of the potion incident. They seized on the potion's incriminating evidence and then traced its origins to traitors within the Cult of Order.

However, the Church of Order wouldn't release information to them, so their progress was temporarily stalled. But through gradual exploration, they bypassed the Church of Order and found the hideout of the traitorous cardinal.

Even in the hometown of that junior student named "Longbow".

They had actually searched there for a long time before finally finding a clue. It must be said that even though everyone from the Order God Cult is talented, even traitors possess their own unique skills and abilities.

So they quickly assembled their forces, preparing to wipe out the Church of Order before they could react.

After all, getting into a fight with the Cult of Order would be troublesome. The vice principal, with his fiery temper, might start arguing with the Cult of Order at the slightest provocation, and then it would all end badly.

"Let's go. Prepare your weapons and artifacts, check your emergency teleportation devices, and make sure the trigger conditions are for severe injury or soul damage." Protecting yourselves is the top priority.

"learn!"

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Li Ge immediately jumped up, excitedly rubbing her little hands together.

Because today is the day my masked armor arrives!

He excitedly grabbed two bottles of wine and went to find the amazing Egg.

The old dwarf seemed quite busy today. He used to be able to relax and watch the students' games while drinking beer, but today Li Ge waited for almost an hour before the old dwarf finally had a moment to spare to see him.

"Brother, brother, is my armor ready yet?" Li Ge asked excitedly.

"Alright, that was the last adjustment for you." The old dwarf seemed a bit listless, perhaps because of the rush to finish the work and the backlog of orders.

The old man's business is very unpredictable. Sometimes he's very free, so free that every day feels like a holiday; other times he's extremely busy, having to work overtime.

He also had several apprentices, who were also dwarves, who were helping out as if they were doing the final mixing and packing.

"Take a look. If there are any problems, we can adjust them later." The old man handed a small briefcase to Li Ge.

Li Ge opened the box. The next moment, he saw a belt that looked like it would appear in a tokusatsu drama displayed in front of him.

Nice!

He quickly and impatiently fastened the belt around his waist. In the next instant, the belt formed a contract with him, and Li Ge could set the corresponding chant or gesture to activate it immediately.

Generally speaking, the release incantation for a Noble Phantasm, or the activation incantation for a magical weapon, is different from the chanting of a spell. Chanting is used to guide the flow of spiritual energy to release or enhance it in a specific form, while activation or release incantations are used to prevent accidental activation.

Otherwise, you might accidentally trigger a Noble Phantasm or magical weapon while doing something important, which would be very embarrassing.

It's usually a simple gesture, or a short line of dialogue, or sometimes, like Li Ge, something she recites silently in her heart.

But this time, Li Ge is determined to set a liberation phrase that can be shouted out.

The release command is set as "Combination!"

"Combined!"

"Armor Combination!" A voice prompt immediately came from the belt. In the next instant, a layer of keratin, resembling a biological exoskeleton, appeared and was immediately equipped on Li Ge's body.

In less than 0.3 seconds, the biological keratin layer completely covered all areas except the face. Finally, Li Ge unfolded his clown mask, which fit perfectly onto the armor, forming a smiling clown mask armor.

Li Ge checked himself and he felt great!

The entire suit of armor fits perfectly, and because it was designed based on a swarm of cosmic insects, the armor has very biological characteristics. In fact, the armor is like a living thing, able to grow gradually according to the wearer's growth.

Furthermore, there was absolutely no feeling of obstruction. The armor felt just like one's own skin, without any bulkiness or blockage.

"Don't get too excited. The armor's defensive capabilities are actually far lower than those specialized protective gear. However, its advantage is that it has a self-healing function; even if damaged, it can gradually grow back as long as the damage isn't severe."

The old dwarf immediately poured cold water on the idea: "As for the core ability, try it out. A short-distance teleportation under certain conditions—that's the core function of this armor."

Li Ge finally snapped out of his excitement about the armor. He realized that the armor's true function wasn't simply protection; it didn't even increase his strength and agility as he'd imagined. It merely made his movements smoother.

Appearance is merely for show; one's core abilities are what truly influence their fighting style.

He immediately sensed it and then figured out how to use it.

He had one opportunity to release bio-threads from each of his wrists. After releasing the thread from his left hand, it stuck to the ceiling, and in the next instant, he vanished from his spot and was teleported to the location where the thread had landed.

"Conditional teleportation is an ability derived from teleportation magic. Its advantages are that it is instantaneous and fast, allowing you to teleport to the landing point with zero delay," the old dwarf explained. "As for the disadvantages, it is that there are conditions for the landing point. The teleportation condition of this armor is that it can only teleport to the landing point of the silk thread."

"And after the silk threads are used, we need to wait for the armor to re-secrete and prepare them," the old dwarf said, pointing out the advantages and disadvantages.

Li Ge, perched on the ceiling, stared at the silk thread in her hand. It was incredibly thin, even transparent, appearing many times finer than a strand of hair. At the same time, the thread was remarkably strong; it couldn't be torn even with force.

The only drawback is that there are too few; only two shots can be fired per day, and each shot can only reach a maximum distance of 200 meters.

The initial ejection speed of the silk thread is about 150 meters per second, which is basically sufficient.

In other words, the greatest value of this armor lies in the Flying Thunder God technique it grants on those two occasions. Not only can it be used in armored form, but Li Ge can also control the belt to change its shape, transforming it into a bracer or similar item.

You can even teleport using the wristbands directly.

It's up to him to use it however he wants. The armored form can also provide him with basic protection. Although its defensive power isn't great, Li Ge sensed it and estimated that it was only slightly inferior to Valerie's full-body armor. It could withstand a jeep crash without any problem.

And most importantly, it's cool! It's like a biological exoskeleton armor, yet it fits the human form perfectly. If I had worn this to a comic convention in my past life, I would have been the coolest person there.
