"Alright. Thank you, uncle." Lu Sheng nodded in satisfaction.
"As long as you're satisfied."
The man with the cigarette in his mouth watched as Lu Sheng walked up and carefully sized up the modified armor. Then, he put it on without a care in the world.
"I'm done with the modification. I'll be leaving now. Thank you for your help." Lu Sheng bid farewell politely.
"Don't forget that you still have a free limit of 700 tibs. It's still under your student ID," the man said plainly as he blew out a smoke ring.
"Mm-hmm. I won't forget," Lu Sheng replied in the armor.
After exiting the modification room, Lu Sheng did not immediately go to the testing area to test the effects of the modification like the other students. Instead, he went to an empty modification room.
His Harmonizing Power had a range of up to 1,000 meters. It could be used as an anti-surveillance superpower.
After checking that there were no modifications in the room, Lu Sheng decisively locked the door from the inside.
These modification rooms were equipped with encryption systems to satisfy the privacy of the students.
Through his Harmonizing Power, Lu Sheng had observed the entire modification process of the man with the cigarette. He had basically learned the entire process.
He quickly took off his armor and walked into the control room.
The control room was a small glass room facing the modification area. There was a white stone pillar inside, and a simple computer was mounted on the pillar. The white light from the screen was slightly glaring in the dark room.
Lu Sheng reached out and tapped on the side of the screen.
"Please select additional components." A basic synthesized voice was heard from the computer.
"Bulletproof external armor," Lu Sheng replied calmly.
"Selection complete. Please select the additional quantity."
Lu Sheng thought about it.
"Let's start with 20 sets."
"Are you sure you want to add 20 sets of bulletproof external armor?"
"Yes." Lu Sheng took out his magnetic card and swiped the missing amount.
One set would cost 100 tibs. 20 sets would cost 2,000 tibs. This was the most cost-effective modification method he could think of.
Thick alloy plates were stacked on the surface of the armor. As time passed, the entire armor's thickness had expanded to more than two meters.
Because of the modifications, the armor had reached a height of more than three meters and a width of two meters. It was a behemoth.
"Special coins." Lu Sheng took out the magnetic card and inserted it into the slot.
"Give me another fifty sets of radiation-resistant light armor." Lu Sheng looked at the thickness and continued.
"Are you sure there are 50 sets of radiation-resistant armor?"
"I'm sure."
These 50 sets were worth 10,000 tibs, which was nothing to Lu Sheng now. He was rich.
While the modification was going on, Lu Sheng roughly estimated the height and width of the door frame. He knew that he couldn't add any more. Otherwise, the armor would be too big and he wouldn't even be able to get out of the door. And I can't bring it back to the dormitory. Concealment was also a problem.
"I have a lot of money anyway." He glanced at the beginner's recommended basic configuration armor on the wall.
On the basic configuration diagram, other than the cheapest bulletproof armor, there was also a basic sword and shield configuration, as well as a simple explosive power system.
"Should I add a weapon?" Lu Sheng thought for a moment. "Forget it, I don't need a weapon."
"Then there's the power enhancement. Let's start with 200 sets of short-range explosive power enhancement."
Half an hour later …
Lu Sheng sized up the powerful armor he had built with great satisfaction. He tried to control the armor remotely through the vast range of Harmonizing Power.
"Click."
The armor shook for a moment before it slowly stood up. With a height of more than four meters and a width of more than two meters, it was so huge that the modification room could barely contain it.
Lu Sheng moved his right hand. He felt that there was about 250 kilograms of weight on his arm. His entire body weighed slightly more than two kilograms.
"As expected, Harmonizing Power can reduce the weight of the armor to a certain extent." He glanced at the weight calculation on the right side of the screen.
"Total weight: 23341 Dhl."
According to this world's weight unit conversion, Lu Sheng estimated the actual weight of the armor to be about 45 tons.
"The armor's defensive power should be enough now. Take one-tenth of it and form a force field on me."
Lu Sheng closed his eyes and carefully felt the Harmonizing Power around his body.
The Harmonizing Power that had been intangible before now seemed to have some form of substance. It could quickly gather around him and form a physical force field.
'It's an armor issued by the academy after all. There's no place to store it. It'll be easily discovered …' Lu Sheng frowned as he thought about this.
His Harmonizing Power could allow him to control the weight of an extremely heavy armor. However, this would also make it easy for other students to see through his strength. He would then become an anomaly and be targeted.
'Next, I'll have to look at this …' Lu Sheng already had a backup plan in mind.
His gaze quickly fell on the other modification components on the screen.
Two of them were the Simple Mineral Extraction and Refinement System and the Long-Distance Control Armor Ring.
…
…
Half an hour later, Lu Sheng walked out of the Logistics Department leisurely. He was wearing an ordinary student uniform. His armor had already passed through the underground lake of the internal cooling water source and quietly dived out of the modification room.
With Lu Sheng's tremendous Harmonizing Power, although the armor was huge, he easily evaded the surveillance cameras. At the same time, he controlled it remotely and was as agile as a human. He easily left the Logistics Department and went to the junkyard outside the school.
Due to the armor's huge size, Lu Sheng simply left it in the underground lake and soaked in it when he had nothing to do. He kept searching for mineral resources around him to extract and smelt them into his armor.
The armors in this world were extremely peculiar. They did not require any energy system. Most of the energy batteries were used on the external components to increase the armor's explosive power and endurance.
However, the armor itself did not require any core energy. It was powered entirely by Harmonizing Power.
This saved Lu Sheng the trouble of looking for batteries to power the armor. After all, his Harmonizing Power was strong enough. It would be fine for him to wear the armor for a few days and nights.
From the beginning, Lu Sheng's goal was not to rely on the modified armor to fight. Instead, he only wanted to use the one-tenth of the force field protection it gave him.
He sat on a bench by the roadside outside the Logistics Department's main entrance and closed his eyes to rest for a while. Lu Sheng only stood up when the armor was completely hidden in the depths of the lake. He patted the dust off his pants and prepared to go back.
As for the upcoming examination, he would need to wear a student armor. He had no intention of participating in the examination at all. It was just like how he had no intention of paying back the loan sharks.
He did not come here to live an honest life.
'Now, it's time to investigate the real culprit …'
Lu Sheng returned to the dormitory and packed his things. Then, he headed to the dormitory building next door. He would look for Shajay, who had been hiding something from him before this.
…
Dormitory Building No. 2.
In the room, Shajay carefully placed the last card on the top of the card building on the table before him.
"As expected, it's the Iron Screen's doing again. The murders last night have happened for three days in a row. The academy's patience has reached its limit, "Shajay said softly and coldly.
In the corner of the room behind him stood a muscular man with his arms crossed.
"We didn't expect that someone would still be investigating that case. After all, it's been so long," the man said in a deep voice.
"That's your problem. I've helped you once. There won't be a second time," Shajay said coldly.
"That's enough. The original plan was to deal with that guy after the examination. I didn't expect someone else to be involved in the investigation other than that guy …" the man said in a deep voice. "Wait. Someone's here." He suddenly hid behind the curtain behind the wardrobe.
Shajay was stunned as well. At this time, everyone should be enthusiastically trying out new cards.
He wondered who was looking for him.
"Who's there?" Shajay stood up and shouted.
"Hello, Shajay. It's me, Jorin." Lu Sheng's voice came from outside the door.
"Jorin? Is there anything I can help you with? "Shajay felt that something was off, but he could not put his finger on it.
"It's like this. I have a small problem with my armor. I'd like to consult you, class monitor," Lu Sheng answered seriously.
Shajay narrowed his eyes. He saw the muscular man behind the Iron Screen walk out slowly. He pulled out a dagger and waved it at Shajay, making a throat-slitting gesture.
Shajay felt that something was off as well. He was not related to Jorin. Their relationship was cold. The other party suddenly came to him and said that he wanted to consult him. This was too fake.
Shajay peered through the peephole. He saw Lu Sheng standing outside the door. The vigilance in his heart was also suppressed.
"Click."
The door opened. Shajay stood at the door, blocking the way in.
The two of them stood in front of the door, facing each other.
"Class monitor, I'm here to consult you about armor." Lu Sheng smiled as he walked forward. He forced his way through Shajay.
"Let's talk outside." Shajay tried to block Lu Sheng.
"Outside? Uh, this is a private question. I don't want too many people to hear it. "Lu Sheng had a pleading expression on his face.
Shajay had a vague feeling that something was off. However, Lu Sheng was already pushing his way through. He had no choice but to step aside.
The two of them entered the room. Shajay closed the door slowly. A murderous glint flashed across his eyes.
When he turned around, the Iron Screen man had already hidden himself. He was nowhere to be seen. Lu Sheng, on the other hand, sat casually on the sofa.
Shajay placed his hands behind his back. He gestured at the curtains.
"Alright, Jorin. Now you can tell me what questions you have for me, right?" He pulled out a single-edged dagger with a purple sheen from the back of his waist. He carried it on his back so that nobody could see it. Then, he slowly walked toward Lu Sheng.
He must not let anyone find out that he had someone from the Iron Screen here. As for Jorin, if he noticed anything, he would have no choice but to kill him.
In any case, members of the Bai Family had been appearing in the academy recently. More than four students had gone missing. It was not a big deal for the Bai Family to lose another life.
"Shajay." Suddenly, a strange expression appeared on Lu Sheng's face. "Tell me the truth. Why did you follow me?"
"Follow?"
…..
In the female dormitory opposite Shajay's room.
Xia Cheng and two of her best friends were discussing their plans for this outing.
When one of her best friends stood up and drew the curtains, she suddenly saw Lu Sheng and Shajay in the opposite dormitory's room. One was standing, while the other was sitting.
"Isn't that Shajay? We can see the class monitor's room from here. Not bad, "her best friend said with a smile. "He's the second young master of the Sha Group. I'm curious about how a young master like him lives normally."
"Is that so?" Xia Cheng smiled. She stood up and looked toward the direction of the curtains.
'Why's Jorin with Shajay?' She was slightly surprised.
"That's not Jorin, is it? He doesn't seem to be at a disadvantage when talking to the first young master of the Sha Group. He should be the young master of some other group, right? "the other girl said softly with a frown. She came over to see the situation in the opposite room.
Xia Cheng frowned. She said nothing.
