Moe Girl Guardians

We continued along the golden path until we finally reached its end. A plaza stretched as far as the eye could see.

Here, the gold seemed even more magnificent than outside, its bright gold color making the square sparkle, and the things on the square were dazzling to the three of them.

The Golden Plaza is filled with countless pedestals, each with a weapon suspended on it: spears, axes, halberds, bows and arrows... all kinds of weapons are available, and the area seems to stretch as far as the eye can see.

Each weapon possesses unique characteristics. One glance reveals they are no ordinary objects; this is the true wealth of the Golden City, the armory of the King's Treasury.

"Teacher, are all these Noble Phantasms...?" Gilles' lips trembled as she asked, her eyes wide. Even she, the Queen of Uruk, was astonished by what she saw. A cursory glance revealed several weapons comparable to her Chains of Heaven. With the Chains of Heaven alone, she could fight gods far beyond her level; with these...

Not to mention Gilgamesh, even Wu Feng was at a loss for words. Although he knew Gilgamesh was rich, he didn't expect him to be this rich! If all of that were exchanged for Stigmata, it would cost tens of thousands! Exchanging for a full set of Purple Mother's abilities might not even cost half that.

“No wonder the gods are so envious,” Enkidu, who was the first to react, murmured. To deal with Lao Baba, who had nothing to do with them, they were actually willing to send out so many people. Now he understood the gods’ thoughts.

"Let's keep going." Suppressing his urges, Wu Feng pulled Gil and Enkidu along as they continued into the weapon.

Walking amidst a variety of weapons, Wu Feng grew increasingly alarmed. The lowest grade of these weapons was probably only around C-rank, yet they still made up the vast majority of the weaponry. B-rank weapons were much rarer, but he had seen dozens of them in a short time, including two that were at least A-rank.

Among them were several very familiar weapons, one of which was the Vimana, the throne of the king of the sky, a radiant ship made of gold and emeralds that can soar through the sky.

It took almost five minutes to reach the center of the plaza, where he found at least ten A-grade weapons. And this was just in one direction; based on Wu Feng's intuition, the highest grade here was A-grade, which was somewhat reassuring. If S-grade equipment were also plentiful, he really didn't know what expression he'd have—he only had one piece of armor…

In the center of the square, there was also a weapon pedestal, which was more ornate and more than twice the size of the other pedestals in the square.

Above it, a strange sword floated, like the king of the armory, receiving the homage of the other weapons.

The sword has a cylindrical, pure black blade with red markings following unknown rules. At the hilt are three cylindrical blades, predominantly gold, arranged in a staggered pattern, obscuring nearly one-fifth of the blade.

The strongest weapon in this golden city, the legendary anti-world treasure [Ea], Wu Feng was certain that it surpassed A-rank just by getting close to him, and was the first S-rank weapon he had ever seen.

"Congratulations, Jill, it's yours now," Wu Feng said to Jill with a sigh after surveying the countless weapons around them.

"Wow!" Jill exclaimed in surprise, still not calm after seeing everything.

"Didn't I give you the key in the first place?" Wu Feng said with a smile. It was prepared for her from the very beginning.

"Isn't it temporarily being kept here with me? Besides, it seems like it can only reach its full potential in the teacher's hands, right?" Jill said, waving her little hand and speaking somewhat incoherently.

"There are many weapons here, but I already have a weapon that suits my hand. I don't need to have more. It's better to give it to you for self-defense. Of course, it's not entirely for you. It should be said that it's for you and Xiao En." Wu Feng took out the [Purple Moon Funeral Song] to indicate that he already had a suitable weapon. But to say that other weapons were useless to him would definitely be a lie... The power of A-grade weapons can be seen from the [Hakurei Family's Armpit-Exposed Shrine Maiden Outfit].

"...But..." Jill was still undecided. She hadn't contributed anything to the fight against Lao Baba from beginning to end, yet she had achieved results, which made her feel somewhat guilty.

"Well, I originally got it for you. Compared to Little En, your strength is still far inferior. You're not good at close combat or ranged combat. Having the Gate of Babylon will enhance your strength a lot. If all else fails, just leave it with you for safekeeping." Seeing Jill's hesitation, Wu Feng went up and added another round.

“Then I’ll keep it for you for a while…” Jill hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind to accept the Gate of Babylon. Thinking of Wu Feng’s words about hunting Lababa specifically for her, her heart was once again filled with inexplicable emotions. (To be continued.

Chapter 233 Granipur

"I've finally found it!" Wu Feng exclaimed in surprise from the center of the Golden City's Weapon Plaza, quickly getting up and walking briskly in a certain direction.

"Searching such a large amount of data is so tiring," said Sa, who was on his shoulder, with a cute look of weariness on her pretty face, while her eyes kept flashing with the data stream.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sha. You really worked hard this time," Wu Feng said apologetically to Sha. He added that it was thanks to her that they were able to succeed this time.

The two continued walking in the golden plaza until they stopped in front of a weapon pedestal. The pedestal was not as luxurious as the [Ea], but it was slightly more special than the surrounding pedestals, adorned with transparent gems. The weapon on it was exactly what Wu Feng needed.

Three days had passed since Wu Feng woke up. Although his mobility had returned, his injuries and the power of death had not fully healed. In addition, they guessed that the gods would not give up in three days and continued to stay in the Golden City. They would at least wait until Wu Feng was fully recovered before considering the remaining issues.

The sheer number of weapons sparked an idea in Wu Feng's mind: could he find equipment among them that had a high compatibility with the special equipment [Gap], and use it to fuse and repair it? The equipment level of [Gap] was only around B grade, but the effects of special equipment were not limited to that.

If there were a [Gap] in the fight against Lao Baba, it might even result in a merciless kill. However, the cost of repairing it is unacceptable. Neither 200 Stigmata nor equipment upgrade scrolls are things Wu Feng can afford right now. Finding equipment with high compatibility is also not easy.

Over the years, I've only encountered this once: the power [Eternal Eclipse] and the [Hakugyokurou Emblem] and [Scarlet Devil Mansion Mark] achieving a compatibility of over 90%. Aside from that, I've never seen a compatibility exceeding 90%, and I've barely even seen 70% a few times.

This prevented Wu Feng from repairing the special equipment [Gap]. However, with countless weapons in front of him, he had the idea of ​​repairing it again. Surely, there should be one that met the compatibility requirements.

With Jill's approval, Wu Feng and Enkidu also possessed some authority over the Golden City. They entrusted Sha with searching for the compatibility of weapons in the plaza. It took them nearly five days to complete 90% of the search before finally finding a weapon with a decent compatibility. This process left Sha exhausted.

Floating on the base is an unusual weapon; if this weren't an armory, one probably wouldn't even be able to confidently call it a weapon.

A black, rope-like weapon floated on the base. It was thinner than a rope and smoother than silk, and contained strong magical fluctuations, but due to the base's effect, it did not radiate outwards. Judging from its appearance alone, Wu Feng couldn't guess what kind of weapon it was based on.

"This is it, right?" Wu Feng asked, looking at Sha on his shoulder.

"Well, among the weapons we've searched so far, this one has the highest compatibility at 94.5%. The second highest compatibility is 71.2%. Even if we successfully fuse them, there won't be much improvement, and we might even lose some functions," Sha said, her eyes still flashing with green data as she continued to search for compatibility with the remaining 10%.

Wu Feng suddenly felt somewhat fortunate to have obtained the [Netherworld Jade Pavilion]. Based on the weapon search probability, it was a one in tens of thousands chance to get a weapon with decent compatibility, and the weapon levels couldn't differ too much. And how low was the probability of a three-in-one skill exceeding 90%...?

"Sa doesn't need to search anymore, just choose it. Anyway, the probability is already over 90%, the rest is up to fate," Wu Feng said with concern, looking at Sa who was still struggling to continue searching.

"There are less than 10% of the weapons left; we can finish searching in a few hours. Young Master, please take a look at that weapon first," Sha said as she continued the search. Sha was truly dedicated to anything that could improve Wu Feng's strength…

Sha's insistence left Wu Feng speechless. He reached for the rope-like weapon, and the moment he grasped it, a surge of magic was released from it, along with a piece of information flowing into Wu Feng's mind.

Grenippon

[Type: Weapon]

[Level: A]

[1. Strong: The strongest rope, even the gods have no hope of breaking free from its bonds]

[2. Telescopic: It has a near-infinite length to suit user needs]

Grenippel is the name of this rope. In Norse mythology, Odin, the chief god, commissioned dwarves to forge the strongest rope to restrain the wolf Fenrir.

The sound of a cat's footsteps, tree roots in a stone, a woman's beard, the breath of a fish, the alertness of a bear, and the saliva of a bird—combining these strange elements with the craftsmanship of a dwarf, the finished product was Grenippet, and from then on, the world lost these materials.

Grenippel was stronger than any rope, and even a fully grown Fenrir the wolf couldn't break free of it by brute force.

In Wu Feng's opinion, this was probably the most limited A-grade weapon, with only the abilities of sturdiness and flexibility. However, the fact that it could be promoted to an A-grade weapon based on just these two abilities showed how sturdy it was. He estimated that if Lao Baba were bound by it, he wouldn't be able to break free easily.

After gaining some understanding of Granipure, Wu Feng went to find Jill and asked for ownership of Granipure. There was one more thing to consider when synthesizing it: the equipment had to belong to him. He then spent the rest of his time in a daze, and he couldn't start the fusion until Sha finished searching.

"The highest compatibility among the remaining 10% is 84%, it seems that it is the only one with the highest compatibility, just 0.5% away from 95%..." Six hours later, the data stream in Sha's eyes stopped, the search stopped, her pretty face showed even more fatigue, she shook her head in disappointment, compatibility above 90% is more important, but it is just 0.5% away.

"That's the only way to fuse it. 94.5% should produce a good surprise. Little Master should know the next steps. Sha is going to rest now." After her disappointment, Sha rubbed her sleepy eyes and disappeared in a flash, running back to rest. It was clear that the continuous searching over the past few days had been quite a burden for her.

After confirming that Granipur had the highest compatibility, and spending 50 Stigmata to exchange for an [Equipment Fusion Scroll], Wu Feng's remaining Stigmata were reduced to a pitiful 12. This almost made Wu Feng consider finding a secluded spot and abandoning all restraints to wear the [Hakurei Family's Armpit-Exposing Shrine Maiden Outfit] to accumulate more Stigmata...

Why is such a great function only available on that shrine maiden outfit... and why is it limited to only the person wearing it...?

After the redemption is complete, a notification sound will be heard.

"Ding! Equipment [Gap (Damaged)] has been detected to have a 94.5% compatibility with [Glenipur], indicating a potential for fusion."

"Consume an Equipment Fusion Scroll to begin equipping the fusion of [Gap (Damaged)] and [Glenipr]?"

After clicking "OK," the tattered, cloth-like special equipment [Gap] and the [Glenipr] in his hand disappeared simultaneously from the spatial storage. (To be continued)

Chapter 234 White Cloth Strips of Unknown Use

"Fusion successful. [Gap (Damaged)] and [Gleniple] have disappeared. Obtained special equipment [White Cloth Strip of Unknown Use]."

The notification sound and result of the successful fusion left Wu Feng speechless. He had consumed an A-grade equipment and a special equipment, and the name of the result was completely meaningless...

Directly in front of Wu Feng, a long, wide white cloth strip that looked familiar slowly floated down. Holding it in his hand, he felt as if he had seen it just now.

[White cloth strip of unknown purpose]

[Type: Special Equipment (Underwear)]

【1-Gap Position Marker: Records the spatial coordinates of the current location, with a maximum coordinate limit of 10】

【2. Power of Gaps: Consumes durability. Allows you to open gaps between spaces at any time and move to any location within your line of sight. If you go beyond your line of sight, you need to use a gap marker. The durability consumption varies depending on the size of the gap and the distance.】

【3. Durable: The equipment incorporates rare and unusual materials, greatly increasing its defense and durability, making it very difficult to destroy】

[4. Strength and flexibility: After modification, it possesses extremely strong toughness and will recover in the fastest time even if it breaks.]

Number of grooves: 1

[Inlay: Yakumo family mark]

[Note: Even with a significant increase in defense, paper still can't compete with steel; increasing durability is key. But speaking of which, is increasing defense even useful? Pfft~]

To Wu Feng's relief, the [white cloth strip of unknown use] was merely an enhancement and modification of the original, retaining almost all of its offensive capabilities. Ignoring its appearance, Wu Feng was quite satisfied with the result.

Just like skill fusion is risky, equipment fusion is equally risky. Low compatibility may result in a fusion that not only fails to enhance the original but also diminishes it. High compatibility will fuse the abilities of two pieces of equipment together, and which abilities are missing depends entirely on luck. If one ability is missing and even enhanced on top of the original, then you are considered very lucky.

Besides the above, another possibility is that two pieces of equipment can be fused into a completely new piece of equipment. This usually only happens under conditions of high compatibility, and the [Netherworld Jade Pavilion] belongs to this category. It seems a pity that it was only half completed this time. The appearance has changed, but the abilities remain within the normal range.

After reviewing the abilities of the [White Cloth Strip of Unknown Use], Wu Feng nodded in satisfaction. The upper limit of spatial coordinates had been increased to 10, and its durability had disappeared under the [Sturdiness] bonus. Generally, only equipment of A rank or higher would lack durability, and [Extension] also eliminated his only concern.

He will be able to use the gap ability without any worries in the future, without having to worry about damage. The only thing that Wu Feng regrets is that the [Gap Power] ability has not changed. It still requires a very short time to activate and cannot be activated instantly.

Finally, the most crucial question... how should this thing be equipped?

Looking at the long, wide strip of white cloth, Wu Feng felt it looked increasingly familiar. He realized he had just seen it before, and his mind raced, trying to recall where he had seen it before.

As his memories flashed through his mind, recalling the events of the past few days, Wu Feng's face turned deathly pale. With trembling hands, he opened the warehouse and took out the A-grade equipment he had acquired just two days prior: the "Hakurei Family's Armpit-Exposed Shrine Maiden Outfit." From it, he pulled out a long, wide strip of white cloth that had come with it and placed it together with the "White Cloth of Unknown Use."

Was it a product of the system? The two strips of cloth were almost identical, which made Wu Feng understand its true purpose... a magical item called a breast wrap...

Looking at the equipment category again, the words "unique underwear" forced Wu Feng to face the truth: it really was a chest binder...

"Sa. You're still awake, aren't you...? Can you tell me what happened?" Seeing the last word of the note, Wu Feng knew that Sa was definitely not asleep, and was probably still laughing hysterically...

"Haha... Little master, wait a minute, let me finish laughing! Hahahaha, ouch, I can't take it anymore!" Just as Wu Feng guessed, Sha was currently clutching her stomach and pounding the ground in her mind, laughing uncontrollably, her eyes full of tears, and she could barely speak, showing no signs of sleepiness at all.

"Little...Master, Sha promises that this has absolutely nothing to do with me. I can only say that her character is too strong!" After waiting for more than five minutes, Sha's voice sounded again, indicating that she had a stomachache.

"It's nothing, it just matches the previous outfit perfectly. Little Master, look, the modified [Gap] is still perfect. You don't need to wear the Yakumo-style women's clothing anymore. As long as you wrap it around your chest, no one will notice even if you wear an outer garment. Plus, you'll have an extra ability." After laughing, Sa began to chatter on about the benefits of the chest wrap, urging Wu Feng to equip it. What she said was true; if you really wrapped it up, no one would notice even if you wore clothes. It was just a matter of how embarrassing it was...

"Furthermore, wearing the [Hakurei-style armpit-revealing shrine maiden outfit] will perfectly conceal the fact that I'm male."

pass

Upon hearing this, Wu Feng immediately shut down the internal signal. Just imagine the scene... Holy crap, I can't let that happen!

Good heavens... Never mind, old monster, we're both embarrassed... Wu Feng's face twitched uncontrollably, unsure of what expression to use to face the current situation.

"Tch, don't think I'll just accept my fate like this." After staring blankly at the breast wrap for a long time, Wu Feng's eyes blazed with fire as he said defiantly.

As long as the equipment is in place, there shouldn't be any problem. It's not like you have to wear a chest wrap... Chest wrap... Just thinking about it gave Wu Feng a headache again. What kind of karma had he created? Why were all the pieces of equipment so bizarre...?

Wrap a white strip of cloth of unknown purpose around your left arm; it looks somewhat like a bandage, but you can't look at it up close... There's definitely a difference between the two.

"Be swallowed up by the dark flames!" Wu Feng shouted as he went into a fit of rage, one hand outstretched and pointing forward, the other hand on his forehead.
