Magic High School.

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 such a stunt. His current daily revenue is even approaching that of the intelligence website that his own 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. "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 and 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. To be able to rise to the level of a cardinal in the Church of Order and to repeatedly evade capture by the Church of Order after his defection, I have no choice but to take action personally this time." 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 anything go wrong.”

"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 "Chang Gong".

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 have 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 'severely injured or soul-damaged'. 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 phrase is set as 'fusion'!"

"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 it is damaged, as long as the problem is not serious, it can gradually grow back."

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 is 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, and can teleport to the landing point with zero delay,” the old dwarf explained. “As for the disadvantage, 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 human 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 weaker than 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.

Chapter 134 Five Fingers Don't Work

Another point is that after teleporting, there will be a super-acceleration effect, which will temporarily allow you to move at speeds close to those of a silken slingshot. The old dwarf said that he had put a lot of effort into this armor, adding many functions.

He figured that the use of the silk thread for teleportation was for emergency escapes, so he secretly added a "Swiftness" magic rune to the gap, giving him a short burst of speed after teleporting, increasing his chances of escaping.

"Thanks, bro, I'm off to have some fun!"

"Hey, don't run so fast, I wanted to chat with you for a bit." The old dwarf had just washed his hands and was about to pull Li Ge to watch TV and have a few drinks when he saw Li Ge leave excitedly, seemingly going to the virtual arena to have a good time with his new armor.

"That kid..." the old dwarf grumbled. He was actually feeling a bit stifled today and wanted to have a good talk with this kid, but he didn't expect Li Ge to run away so quickly.

Li Ge wore a clown mask the whole time, and even her steps were much lighter.

Although it takes more than twenty hours for the armor to regenerate after using the silk thread teleportation, he can still try out the armor's basic abilities.

Not long after Li Ge left, Yi Lian arrived at the same place.

"Old sir, old sir, is my magical weapon ready?" Yi Lian rubbed her hands excitedly.

He felt he couldn't afford to be so complacent. While making money and having connections infiltrating the dark web were important, here, strength was the foundation of everything.

After all, they are in the Noble Phantasm Department, they are battle mages, and their main job is combat. After graduation, unless he's insane and wants to go back to his hometown to duel those idiots, he can only stay in school, and it might even be best if he never goes back.

So, aside from maintaining the website, I spent all my other time practicing!

Roll it up!

Yilian thought to herself.

"Alright, yours is ready too. Take a look and see if it suits your taste." Amazing Egg took out another small, neatly packaged box. Yilian excitedly opened the box, and a leather glove with five fingers protruding appeared inside.

What's most peculiar is that each finger has a ring that looks like it's inlaid with gemstones.

"This is my masterpiece of further improvement, designed to minimize the impact on the dexterity of your fingers. At the same time, the gem on each ring can store a portion of the spiritual energy you copied. The five rings converge in your palm, forming a psionic circuit connected to you. Making this glove for you was more troublesome than making the other boy's full-body armor," the old dwarf complained.

"Wow, thank you, sir. This is Moonlight Private Brew." Yi Lian quickly pulled out a bottle of wine to bribe the old dwarf.

The amazing Iger accepts all offers. He's basically uninterested in money, but if you give him alcohol, he gets so excited his beard practically stands on end. If you're even willing to watch a game and drink with him, he'll probably pat you on the shoulder and start calling you sworn brothers.

"You're quick on the uptake, kid!" the old dwarf chuckled, then asked, "This is your weapon. Have you decided what to name it?"

Yi Lian put on the gloves. Although he could freely change the structure and size of his hands, the gloves perfectly matched his normal appearance, and the five rings were arranged in a staggered manner without affecting the dexterity of his fingers in the slightest.

The old dwarf's superb craftsmanship is often hidden in these simple details.

"How about we keep it simple and call it 'Five Fingers'?" Yi Lian said.

The old dwarf fell silent. He slapped his forehead and said, "I didn't expect your naming skills to be even worse than that other brat's. 'Five Fingers' is an awful name. You should change it. If you don't know what to name, just ask your system. Let its AI come up with a name for you!"

"Sigh, is 'Five Fingers' not good enough? I actually think it's a nice name," Yi Lian muttered under his breath. But soon, he racked his brains and chose a name.

The Hand of God!

He originally wanted to choose the name "Five Commandments" and then make a matching weapon to be named "Ten Commandments," but in the end, the old dwarf rejected it with a dark face.

Thus, the magical weapon known as "God's Hand" officially became the registered name.

Just as Yi Lian was in a hurry to try out the virtual arena, the old dwarf stopped him and said, "Don't rush off like that. Come and chat with me. I'll tell you something secret."

"What is it, sir?" Yi Lian was a little more polite than Li Ge and was ready to stop and listen to what the old dwarf had to say.

"A few days ago, a magical weapon I forged was upgraded to a Noble Phantasm..." The old man said, a look of unimaginable pride on his face. But soon, he sighed and took a big gulp of Moonlight Private Brew.

"It's a pity that the kid died a second before that sword was upgraded. He was a kid I watched grow up; he made three pieces of equipment from me. Sigh..."

He seemed melancholy and took another deep breath.

"Please accept my condolences..." Yi Lian didn't know how to comfort the old dwarf, so she could only say this.

“I’m not here to ask for comfort from a first-year student like you. I just want to tell you to treat these magical weapons well, like you would treat your girlfriend. They do have a chance to be upgraded to Noble Phantasms…” The old dwarf seemed to sigh again, “although the chances are really low.”

"For example, if that kid had acquired another Noble Phantasm earlier, maybe he would have survived, and could even be excitedly telling the new young men and women about his glorious journey next year. Sigh..."

"Mmm!" Yi Lian nodded repeatedly and noted down the information.

Magical weapons can also be upgraded to Noble Phantasms? He really didn't know much about this, which was because Yi Lian was very discreet and never asked about Valerie's armor.

Li Ge, on the other hand, was much more reckless. He even dared to ask Valerie if she wasn't afraid of not growing up while wearing full armor every day.
