Ironclad, died and resurrected, I've decided to go to the mic!

"One hundred thousand credits."

Qi Ye expertly quoted the price, a standard business smile on her face.

Liu Ying's initial arrogance quickly deflated upon hearing the price.

Sam tapped her fingers on the table, her voice suddenly becoming embarrassed:

"100,000... I only have tens of thousands of credits on me."

As she spoke, she turned to look at the dark-haired man in the corner who was resting with his eyes closed.

"Blade, do you have any money on you? Lend me some."

Ren opened his eyes, his gaze lingered on Liu Ying's face for a moment, and then he spread his hands out expressionlessly.

"I never need money!"

Then he stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

"I'm going to cook now. Today's recipe is boiled fish."

Blade's figure disappeared at the kitchen doorway.

Liu Ying gazed in that direction, remained silent for a long while, then turned to Qi Ye, with a glimmer of last hope:

"Can I pay in installments? Or can I use my bonus from the next task to pay for it?"

Before Qiye could speak, Kafka laughed first.

She leaned against the table, holding a steaming cup of coffee.

His gaze lingered on Qi Ye's face for a long while before he slowly spoke:

"Wolf, you're acting really strange today."

It's not just about promoting light cones; do you really think this thing is a light cone?

The light cone is the embodiment of memory, while your thing can make the armor disappear but retain its effect.

It looks like the way a strange thing operates.

She put down her coffee cup, then changed the subject, her tone slightly teasing.

"The name doesn't matter, as long as the effect is real."

But if you really want to sell, that's not how you sell it.

Was your previous price of 100,000 credits too low?

No matter what, this light cone couldn't possibly be worth 10.

Qi Ye casually made up a story.

"Okay, okay, you're right, 100,000 is indeed a bit too little."

But this thing isn't some rare treasure; it's just a convenient little gadget.

Besides, I bargained down the price from that vendor; the original price wasn't that high.

"As long as I find it useful, the price doesn't matter."

"What does that trafficker look like?" Kafka suddenly asked.

"Black hair, black eyes, and a particularly irritating smile."

Qiye described himself without changing his expression.

"Sounds similar to the shady dealers you encounter when playing games."

Kafka smiled gently and didn't ask any further questions.

She turned to look at the firefly, her tone softening.

"How much are you short? I'll lend you some first."

No need to pay it back right away, it can be deducted from your next task bonus.

However, you need to think carefully about the side effects of this strange item. A 200% increase in overall sensitivity is no joke.

You've been inside the armor for so long, and suddenly having your sense of touch magnified to this extent might be a bit overwhelming.

Don't come crying to me complaining later.

"No, it won't." Liu Ying nodded vigorously.

Kafka took out several credit cards from her pocket and handed them to Qiye.

Qi Ye accepted it with both hands, a smug smile spreading across his face like that of a silver wolf:

"Deal! You should have said so earlier. I knew Kafka was the most generous."

Here, the light cone is for you.

He shoved the card into Liuying's hand, took two steps back, and gestured for her to begin her performance.

Liu Ying looked down at the light cone card in her hand and took a deep breath.

Then slap the card against your chest.

The streak of light disappeared into the SAM armor, and then...

The thick metal armor began to become transparent at a visible speed.

Starting from the shoulders, down to the arms, to the chest, to the waist, and down to the legs.

Every piece of Sam's armor plating was dissipating, revealing the fireflies inside.

She looked down at her empty hands, hands without any metal covering them.

"It's a success..."

Her voice was trembling.

"It's really gone, the armor is gone, but I can still feel its power!"

I can touch things now! I can…”

She turned around happily towards Xiye, wanting to give him a big hug.

Qiye stared in disbelief at the scene before her.

He wasn't looking at Liu Ying's face, nor at her expression.

Instead, he was looking at the tight-fitting bodysuit she was wearing.

The only thing still covering her after the Sam armor disappeared was also becoming transparent at the same speed.

He opened his mouth, but all the language functions in his brain collectively failed at that moment.

So clothes can be considered armor too.

This light cone's definition of armor is clearly much broader than he understands it.

Sam is armor, and that bodysuit is probably also considered part of the armor system by the system.

And so they all disappeared.

truth.

Following his gaze, Liu Ying looked down at herself, her face turning red from the base of her neck to the tips of her ears.

She clutched her arms tightly to her chest, curled up into a ball on the ground, and spoke in a voice that was both shy and anxious:

"What happened?! Why are all my clothes gone?!"

For purely academic purposes, Qi Ye glanced at it a few more times.

Then he coughed forcefully several times and looked up at the ceiling:

"Well, maybe, probably, perhaps, clothes were also used as armor."

The definition of armor based on this light cone is clearly broader than we thought.

So they disappeared along with it.

"Does that mean if I want to use this cone of light to contact the world, I have to stay naked forever!"

The firefly opened its mouth in disbelief.

Kafka took off her coat and walked over to drape it over Firefly's shoulders.

The jacket just touched Liuying's shoulder, just like the bodysuit she wore before.

It became transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye and completely dissipated into the air in just a few seconds.

Kafka looked down at her empty hands, then at the firefly's bare shoulders, and raised an eyebrow:

"It seems that anything covering the skin will be considered armor."

The recognition logic of this light cone is indeed very broad.

"What should we do then!"

Liu Ying buried her face in her knees, curling herself into a ball.

She dared not look up, dared not look at anyone, and dared not even move.

Because with each breath, you can feel the air flowing across your skin.

She could hear her own heartbeat thumping in her chest.

She could even feel the capillaries on her face dilating.

The heat spread from my cheeks to the tips of my ears and then to my whole body.

Every inch of reddened skin is sending an overly honest signal to the brain.

Qi Ye began to explain:

"It's okay! You can use it in your own room!"

Now at least I don't have to be locked in the armor all day anymore; I can touch the edge of the table, the wall, and the sofa myself.

Look, the activity area has expanded from a few cubic meters to tens of square meters, which is a qualitative leap!

Before, you could only see the world through armor; now you can truly touch it.

This is a breakthrough from zero to one!

He spoke with increasing enthusiasm, gesturing with his fingers on the ceiling.

He was practically ready to pull a PowerPoint presentation out of his pocket and project it onto the wall.

"Besides, a sensitivity of 200% may sound outrageous."

But from another perspective, when you touch the petals, the sensation is twice as intense as for an ordinary person!

When you feel the wind, every wisp of air is twice as delicate as an ordinary person's!

Basically, your perception of the world is now more acute than anyone else's; this is a superpower, not a side effect!

After he finished speaking, he waited for a while before realizing that Firefly hadn't responded.

There was no more embarrassed protest like before.

He carefully lowered his gaze a few inches from the ceiling.

Seeing that Liu Ying was squatting on the ground with her hands still wrapped around her knees, her whole demeanor had completely changed.

Her skin had a pinkish hue.

Every inch of skin from her cheeks to her shoulders looked as if it had been dyed by the sunset.

She looked up at him with one eye, her eyes glistening with tears.

His lips moved for a while before he managed to squeeze out a few broken words.

"...Even breathing feels strange to me now."
