Chapter 547: Chapter 521: A Loss
The black and gold-veined armor appeared both ferocious and splendid, exuding a faint, Divine Power-like aura.
No one responded.
The surroundings were silent, unusually tranquil!
Luo Chaoyuan opened his mouth, unable to speak, as he was awestruck by this Divine Power, his mind in a haze.
Unconcerned with everything else, Chen Shouyi remained oblivious.
At this mont, he was already imrsed in his own world, delightedly examining this new toy.
His will was intricately linked with the armor, a curious sensation, as if the entire armor was part of his body.
The armor snugly adhered to his body, seamlessly fitting.
Apart from his eyes, every part of him was enveloped inside, yet he could hardly feel its existence.
Warmth, comfort, and a profound sense of security.
His skin could sharply sense subtle changes in the environnt... no, it had beco even more sensitive, as he could feel tiny air currents brushing against the force field emanating from his armor, curving elegantly behind him, and even the impact of dust particles.
More wondrous still.
He could not feel any weight from the armor, as light as if it was nothing.
It was hard to imagine that this item weighed entirely over a dozen tons.
The material didn’t even seem tallic but more like a kind of biological tissue that could extend at will. Chen Shouyi felt that even if he used the Giant Transformation, it should be perfectly usable.
In fact, he now felt it was a bit too thick, with the chest alone being over ten centiters thick.
Luckily, there was no sense of awkwardness.
Chen Shouyi attempted to take a step forward.
"Whoosh!"
A black silhouette leaped three to four ters away like a phantom, and if not for Chen Shouyi’s tily reflexes and swift bodily adjustnt, he might have stumbled to the ground.
"Phew, so fast! But it actually requires consuming ntal energy!" Chen Shouyi silently thought to himself.
With just one action, his ntal energy flowed away like water.
It made sense, after all, this was a Divine Artifact.
Using it surely required consuming Divine Power.
Without Divine Power, he could only consu a will akin to Divine Power, otherwise, how could he feel as if the dozen-ton weight was light as a feather, without even sensing any inertia from its mass.
Chen Shouyi loosened his condensed will.
Sure enough,
the next mont,
he felt an imnse weight pressing down on him, while simultaneously, the force field and the Divine Power aura emitted by the armor also vanished without a trace, becoming ordinary.
Chen Shouyi wanted to experint a bit longer, but clearly now was not the ti.
He removed the armor and stored it in the space.
Only then did the awestruck onlookers co back to their senses.
"It’s incredible, how... how did you do it?" Luo Chaoyuan, with his elderly fra seemingly restored to youthful vigor, approached briskly, his face flushed with excitent.
This scene was truly baffling.
This Divine Artifact, dormant for 20 years, had actually "co alive."
"It requires control over it; as long as you invest your mind, you can refine the Divine Artifact," Chen Shouyi, in a good mood, did not hold back.
He thought for a mont and continued, "You can practice my modified cultivation thod, probably barely able to refine it as well!"
Beside him, Minister Zhang opened his mouth, wanting to speak but stopping, a thought lingering incessantly in his mind.
Loss!
Such a big loss!
This single Divine Artifact alone might be worth five hundred tons of Divine Flesh.
No wonder, initially, the other party only dared to request one or two Divine Artifacts, perhaps his ntal pricing was only one.
Fortunately, the flesh ultimately remains within the pot; as General Manager Chen grows stronger, it also benefits Great Xia Country.
He pondered whether to suggest to the higher-ups to use surplus Divine Flesh to exchange for a batch of Divine Artifacts from other countries, taking advantage of the current underappreciated value of Divine Artifacts to quickly acquire more.
There might not be another chance later.
...
Finally shaking off the zealous curiosity of Academician Luo and other researchers, Chen Shouyi walked out of the heavily guarded warehouse, exhaling a deep breath.
Feeling ntally exhausted.
...
Inside the car.
"Divine Artifact... no, let
treat you to dinner tonight, stay in the Capital City for the night, and tomorrow I’ll arrange a helicopter to take you back, how about it?" Minister Zhang suggested.
"Can you arrange a helicopter now?" Chen Shouyi inquired upon hearing this.
What’s the point of staying in the Capital City?
Another day wasted!
Having just acquired two Divine Artifacts made him eager and impatient to test them out.
Every minute wasted felt like agony.
"It’s possible, but aren’t you being a bit too hasty!" Minister Zhang checked his watch and advised, "It’s already eight o’clock, you ca all this way, and I haven’t even treated you to dinner yet..."
"I have Divine Flesh," Chen Shouyi said.
Upon hearing this, Minister Zhang fell silent.
Faced with such a figure who dines on Divine Flesh, he found it impossible to respond.
Simply from a different world.
It even made him feel a sense of inferiority.
"Since you’re in such a hurry, then I won’t delay you; the City Governnt is right beside us, and there’s a helicopter there. By the way, how much Divine Flesh do you have left?" he probed cautiously.
After the transaction two days ago, it was discovered that the actual weighed tonnage of the True God was over five hundred twenty, not just five hundred.
This casual attitude clearly indicated the other party still had plenty left.
Chen Shouyi imdiately beca vigilant: "Not much left!"
Only about twenty tons.
It’ll be consud in a few years.
"Haha, just asking casually, don’t mind it."
"No worries!" Chen Shouyi said, pausing to glance at him: "Why not give you a few pounds!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the driver, startled, trembled, losing composure, causing the car to swerve and almost crash.
Minister Zhang’s face shifted several tis before he wryly smiled and said, "Please don’t put
in a bad spot, that’d be a mistake."
Chen Shouyi instantly felt disinterested.
Just a few pounds.
Could scrape it out from between his teeth.
...
The car drove all the way to the City Governnt.
After coordination and arrangent by Minister Zhang, a helicopter soon soared into the sky.
The moonlight was cold and clear.
Chen Shouyi lay covered with a thin blanket, under which the Shell Lady crawled around like a mouse, her courage much bigger under the cover of the blanket, entertaining herself rrily within.
Chen Shouyi couldn’t be bothered with her, gazing out the darkened window.
With a sense of emotion overwhelming him.
Helicopters were truly comfortable!
...
The sky was beginning to brighten.
The helicopter finally reached Hedong safely, landing on the balcony of a building within the Safe Zone.
He exited the building, quickly avoiding the patrolling soldiers, swiftly heading ho.
It was only four o’clock in the morning, and his family hadn’t woken up yet.
He levitated, using his will to open the window, floating into the bedroom.
After placing the already asleep Shell Lady on the bed.
Seeing that there was nothing around, Chen Shouyi, unable to resist the urge, took out the sphere from the space again.
Instantly arming his body.
The next mont.
With a "crack,"
his foot sunk, the floor beneath him instantly shattered under the weight.
Chen Shouyi gaped, utterly perplexed, not daring to move, fearing he might collapse the floor.
"Almost forgot the armor isn’t light!"
PS: It’s Valentine’s Day today, the second Chapter will be around 11 o’clock!
