"Fine."
Li Yao sniffed. He had no choice but to compete with Jiang Shaoyang again when there was a chance.
Speaking of which, Li Yao suddenly felt somewhat ashamed.
He felt that he had … cheated in the competition with Jiang Shaoyang.
It was true that, in the past hundred years, stimulated by Kunlun, the four new worlds, and the techniques from the center of the cosmos that Firefly brought, the refining arts of the Federation had indeed experienced an explosive development. As one of the best refiners in the circle of refiners, Jiang Shaoyang was certainly at the forefront of such a revolutionary trend.
Li Yao, on the other hand, had spent most of his time in hibernation. It was only in the last year that he was able to study the arts of refining wholeheartedly.
On the surface, Li Yao seemed to have suffered a great loss. He was like the sleeping rabbit in the race between the tortoise and the hare.
However …
In the last year, Li Yao had been staying inside a Nuwa warship that had been untouched for most of the cabins. There were almost twenty brand-new Colossi, as well as more than fifty remnants of Colossi in different forms, and countless cutting-edge magical equipment from the primeval era that he could study!
Li Yao did not doubt the potentials, creativity, and development of the civilization of mankind at all.
However, today, the civilization of mankind was still an immature civilization that had just matured. It was also a fact that it was still an imitator and a chaser for the Pangu and the Nuwa civilizations.
The Colossi were the ultimate weapons in the sea of stars. They were the crystallization of the highest technology of the Nuwa Clan. A hundred years ago, the Federation had only excavated five jumbled Colossi from the Kunlun relic. Together with a few rusted, fragile pieces, it was already enough to make significant progress in the overall magical equipment technology.
The remnants that Li Yao found on the Nuwa warship, on the other hand, were not as fragile as powder even if they could not be repaired. They were of great research value!
Most importantly of all, Meng Chixin and Wu Suiyun, the two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators, had also helped Li Yao find dozens of jade chips that stored the 'Colossi Maintenance Manual'!
It was like one, no, dozens of teachers from the Nuwa Clan were teaching Li Yao how to analyze and maintain dozens of different Colossi step by step!
For those whose Cultivation was lower and who did not know much about refining, it was possible that they would not be able to understand the real value of the Colossi.
However, Li Yao had already been a refiner in the Yuanying level before he entered the Nuwa warship. For someone of his level, he was almost adept at everything. In many cases, the only thing that he lacked was insight and insight.
Maintaining and debugging the Colossi, and analyzing a hundred primeval treasures, he felt that he had stepped into the highest temple of refining by stepping on the shoulders of giants one after another!
Let's use an inappropriate analogy.
A top refiner of the Federation such as' Solar Eclipse 'Jiang Shaoyang was like a genius and diligent student who had been given ten thousand sets of mock test papers for the college entrance examination by famous teachers. He was absolutely confident that he could get full marks in the college entrance examination after a year of studying them thoroughly!
Li Yao, on the other hand, was not certain that he would be smarter or more diligent than Jiang Shaoyang. He did not have as much time to study as Jiang Shaoyang, nor could he guarantee that he would get full marks in all the subjects in the college entrance examination.
He had only been locked in the research lab of a few university professors for half a month, and had received personal guidance and notes from these university professors. He was able to understand the theses and research topics of the professors by stumbling through them. That was all.
That was the difference between Li Yao and Jiang Shaoyang at this moment.
Li Yao looked at the 'Phantom Moon Butterfly' that Jiang Shaoyang had designed longingly. He took out a hundred coins and bought the latest catalog of magical equipment and materials in the magical equipment center from the vending machine.
Such a catalog was stored in jade chips. As long as it was inserted into the portable crystal processor, more than a hundred thousand pages of introductions of magical equipment and materials would be triggered, including sabers, swords, guns, Crystal Suits, and civil magical equipment such as luxury shuttles.
For the magical equipment such as the Crystal Suit, Li Yao would check the introduction and the specific parameters in the catalog first before he tested it in person through the virtual cabin in the Grand Illusionary Land. After he was satisfied with everything, he would pick up the goods and test them in the test field. It was the most cost-effective and efficient approach.
Swish swish swish swish …
Shua! Li Yao's eyes were as sharp as lightning. The light beam was blinking quickly as he glanced down from the Crystal Suit list.
The Crystal Suit that is suitable for experts such as Jin Dan and Yuanying are all advanced goods. None of them are cheap. I have to prepare three super powerful battle-specific artificial bodies for Meng Chixin, Wu Suiyun, and Wan Mingzhu, which are rarely-seen goods with a very small market and a very high price!
I wonder if Long Yangjun's operation is going well? Will they cause any trouble? How much money will they get?
To be safe, I'd better check the components, strengthening units, and secondhand Crystal Suit first!
Li Yao did not care about money.
Just like all the masters of refining, he had a professional habit. He felt that it would be an insult to his skills if he bought a whole Crystal Suit like a regular Cultivator.
Buying a framework or a secondhand product and assembling, polishing, and strengthening it bit by bit was the way of an 'Armadominus'.
Li Yao turned the catalog to the section of secondhand Crystal Suit.
The Dragon Snake Space Zone was a lawless, lawless place where the strong preyed on the weak. The rate of the Crystal Suit was shockingly high.
Naturally, the magical equipment store in Fish Dragon City had a lot of Crystal Suit that had been seriously damaged in a battle. They were sold at a very low price.
According to the damage and the repairability, the secondhand Crystal Suit was classified into 'seventy percent new', 'fifty percent new', and so on. The dilapidated Crystal Suit that had almost been beaten into a pile of garbage was almost as cheap as a piece of garbage, too.
"This is …"
Li Yao had not expected to pick up any treasures in the place and was only browsing casually. But out of his expectation, a dilapidated Crystal Suit that jumped out of nowhere made his eyes shine. He even gasped subconsciously.
It was — it was — it was a first-generation Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit that was thirty percent new!
It was the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit that he and Professor Yuan Manqiu had crafted together more than a hundred years ago when he was still in the Refining Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution. After it was mass-produced, it was the universal model of the old Union Army!
Looking at the crystal suit that was riddled with holes but still standing on the 3D light beam like a skeleton soldier that had crawled out of the deepest level of hell, Li Yao felt that his eyes were brimming with tears as he recalled countless memories of the past that were flooding his mind.
He did not expect that he would see … an old friend again after more than a hundred years!
Spinning the light beam softly, Li Yao scanned the first-generation Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit from all angles. He discovered that, although the plate armor and the engine units were on the brink of destruction, the most fundamental framework was almost intact. The price was quite cheap, too. Li Yao paid the deposit through the catalog without any hesitation and bought it. He also purchased the strengthening components that were ten times more expensive than the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit and rented a maintenance room of the highest level at a high price!
He had made up his mind. Under normal circumstances, he would use the first-generation Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit in a battle of the Crystal Suit!
That was his passion!
…
Three hours later …
Wearing the brand-new first-generation Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, Li Yao swaggered into the Crystal Suit Test Center with a big smile on his face. His chest was brimming with indescribable delight.
Nowadays, it seemed rather weird and eye-catching to wander in a battlefield in an antique first-generation Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit from more than a hundred years ago.
Even the experts of the Ancient Sages Sector such as Meng Chixin would be suspicious of his choice as long as they had the slightest understanding of the Crystal Suit.
However, such a minor obstacle was not a problem for Li Yao, the 'Fiend Star'.
For more than a hundred years, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, as the most classic Crystal Suit model of the Federation, had been updated and upgraded all the time. Li Yao had purchased some plate armor and components of the new Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit and modified the appearance of the first-generation Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit into the 'XIII Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit High Mobility', which was relatively new.
Naturally, most of the units, from the super-compressed crystal reactor to the power rune arrays and the attack magical equipment, had been upgraded. All the performance parameters had soared to the sky, but the original sense of operation of the first-generation Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was kept as much as possible. Such an unnecessary modification was absolutely incomprehensible to those who were not the most loyal fans of magical equipment and the most enthusiastic refiners.
"The sense of operation of the rigid school! The unconditional force feedback! The humming noises of the crystal processors! The rigid sprinting to the end! Waves of heat were transmitted from the spine to the Crystal Reactor in his internal organs! This is the f * cking Crystal Suit! This is the f * cking Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit! 'If you are a man, you must open the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit'! "
Li Yao felt that his blood was boiling. He couldn't have felt more comfortable. While he narrowed his eyes and enjoyed the most basic movements of punching, jumping, and sprinting, he scanned the advanced Crystal Suit that was rushing past him and performing the most glamorous ultimate moves.
He was like a velociraptor in the skin of a sheep who was glancing at a bunch of lions, tigers, and hungry wolves casually.
Shua! Shua!
Shua! Li Yao's brain was bursting with almost a thousand battle scenes, which he had inferred based on the combat parameters of the advanced Crystal Suit around him.
"Hmm, if I were to unleash the battle prowess of a Golden Core Stage cultivator, with the enhancement of this Mystic Skeleton First Gen, I should be able to completely defeat this' monster 'with a strengthened breastplate and legs within five seconds!
"Huh. This Crystal Suit that is full of flying swords all over the body is not bad. It is similar to the 'Thousand Swords' in my memory. Based on my calculation, I should be able to finish it in eleven seconds if its owner only brings out 30% of his combat ability!
"This one, nine seconds! This one, fifteen seconds! Adding up the five suits here … one minute thirty-three to one minute forty-five seconds! "
Right then —
"Hiu!"
A blue Crystal Suit that was almost transparent and looked like smoke rushed past the first-generation Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit at a high speed!
Li Yao raised his eyebrows, his eyes glowing.
"This one is not bad. I've never seen a Crystal Suit of such a style before. It combines the essence of refining of the four new Sectors with the flavor from the center of the cosmos. To be able to combine the styles of almost ten different schools so well, not only does the design have to be skillful, it also requires a certain degree of craftsmanship. Not bad!
"Huh. It feels similar to the 'Phantom Butterfly' that Jiang Shaoyang designed just now, except that it is a bit immature. Is it his assistant or his true disciple?
"Well done, Jiang Shaoyang. Even your disciple's work is so impressive!
"The Exo who is wearing this Crystal Suit is rather tough, too. Judging from the two steps he took just now, if I only use the combat ability of Jin Dan, I'm afraid that it will take me one minute and three seconds to blow him and the Crystal Suit into pieces!"
While Li Yao was marveling at the Crystal Suit, unable to hide the appreciation in his eyes, the Crystal Suit that was as blue as smoke suddenly came to a halt on one side of the test field.
The Exo took off his helmet, revealing a scarred, angry, and shaking face. He roared at the few maintainers who had surrounded him, "Not right. Something is wrong with this Crystal Suit!"
