Chapter 291: Chapter 12 Single Soldier Armor “chanic
Under Ain’s guidance, Richard’s subsequent journey was smooth and unobstructed.
Soon, the flying vehicle arrived at the center of Paradise City, in the Wizard District.
As the na suggests, the Wizard District is where wizards reside, and compared to the enormous Mortal Zone, it was like the red dot at the center of a target.
Within this area, a small portion of the residents were employees of the Nine Stars Chamber of Comrce, while the vast majority of the wizards were outsiders.
These wizards often ca to Paradise City for certain materials or specins and did not stay long.
Therefore, the population turnover in the Wizard District was extrely high.
But this was not necessarily a bad thing.
High turnover led to nearly unlimited possibilities.
The Nine Stars Chamber of Comrce often took advantage of trading opportunities to acquire these wizards’ skills and contact information.
This brings us to the most important service of the Nine Stars Chamber of Comrce—Wizard Support.
A wizard in need could spend so Magic Essence to check if any known wizards could solve their problem.
If so, the Nine Stars Chamber of Comrce would charge a commission to connect the two wizards.
Just like when Richard gathered knowledge about Alchemy Machines in the Red Sun World.
This business was crucial for the Nine Stars Chamber of Comrce; wizards lacked most in the exchange of information, and with such a platform, even if the fees were high, it was a great benefit for wizards.
Countless wizards, unable to find soone to solve their problems, had been stuck on issues for a lifeti.
Such a crucial business naturally wouldn’t be managed by an outsider.
Before the old chairman’s lamp ran out of oil, he personally commanded this departnt. Now as the old chairman was about to pass away, the acting head of this departnt was his student—Rother.
In fact, even when the old chairman was in command, Rother had already been working in this departnt as the vice head.
Before Bob appeared, almost everyone thought Rother would be the successor of the Nine Stars Chamber of Comrce.
That Bob was alive today was also thanks to him; before the old chairman determined his successor, hardly anyone specifically targeted Bob.
Because they were all busy dealing with Rother.
Otherwise, the foundationless Bob would probably have turned to ash.
…
The most conspicuous part of the Wizard District was a white hexagonal tower at its center.
Its beautiful reliefs paired with a geotrically appealing structure brought imdiate ntal comfort to onlookers.
“Is this the headquarters of the Nine Stars Chamber of Comrce?” Richard asked, looking at the white tower.
Bob shook his head, “Of course not, our headquarters are those four shorter buildings around this tower. This tower serves as our auction house and the place where so rare items are sold.
The residences for VIPs are also inside this tower.”
The auction Bob ntioned was not a hallucination embellished by him; the Nine Stars Chamber of Comrce was indeed going to hold a grand auction in three days.
The highlight of the auction was the mutated Fire Lizard flesh that Richard sold to Bob in the Red Sun World.
The flying vehicle stopped on a vast terrace at the top of the White Tower, Richard stepped out of the flying vehicle and entered into the tower.
The level where the flying vehicle landed was a hall, and upon entering, several Puppet Servants—almost indistinguishable from any machine—approached Richard.
A chanic Servant handed Richard a black tal badge, beautifully crafted and slightly enchanted.
Bob explained from the side, “This is our Chamber’s VIP badge, mainly for identity recognition and for granting access to certain VIP areas.
The black badge is the highest level; with this badge, there’s nowhere in this tower you can’t go. Any staff will do their utmost to satisfy your requests.”
Richard nodded, “Where will I be staying these days?”
Bob smiled mysteriously, “Brother, activate your badge and you’ll find out.”
Curiosity piqued, Richard used his spiritual power to probe the badge.
The manufacturer had left usage instructions inside the badge; Richard followed them and infused a bit of Magic Power.
Imdiately, a special frequency of Magic Fluctuation emitted from the badge, and a faint white light erged under Richard’s feet.
“Teleportation Array?”
Richard glanced at the carpet covering the hall floor, initially thinking it was for aesthetics, only to realize it also concealed a Magic Array.
Soon, Richard’s surroundings blurred, and when the view cleared, he found himself in a luxuriously decorated room.
Exquisite murals, fine tapestries, and lavish Magic Lights illuminated the entire room brightly.
Approaching the window, he saw clouds flowing beneath him, and the whole Paradise City was visible at a glance.
“The view is indeed nice.”
Leaving the window, Richard noticed a Crystal Ball placed on the living room’s table.
He picked it up to examine its contents, and his expression imdiately turned very strange.
“These wizards know how to have fun,” Richard murmured.
The information in Crystal Ball, aside from the layout of the tower, was entirely comprised of various leisure activities.
So activities included common forms of entertainnt, alongside so services that were downright slothful.
What kind of wizard would opt for sothing like tentacle monster organ massages?
Moreover, this strong electric stream ntal cleansing service looked suspiciously like electrocution.
Even the service props included a chair.
Seeing the services provided by the Nine Stars Chamber of Comrce, Richard realized his understanding of wizards was still too superficial.
This group, with their lengthy lifespans and rich imagination, pursued thrills and pleasures to incredible extents.
Long years were enough to make any joy taste bland, the once delicious food now as tasteless as wax, and previously enjoyable couplings beco utterly flavorless.
In this process, so wizards chose to seek truth through information by endlessly exploring the unknown to keep themselves joyful.
The rest pursued ever more extre pleasures.
Putting down the Crystal Ball, Richard was about to browse through the auction catalog Bob had given him to see what good items were available at the auction.
But a ssage from his soul made him put down the catalog.
“O great Creator God, your people have completed a masterpiece, the Holy Armor has been crafted.”
Richard was montarily stunned, then he realized what Fuzzy Ball was referring to.
“These Fire Lizard Armors are actually done!”
Richard marveled internally, thinking that the work efficiency driven by ideals was truly different.
Over the past thirty years, with Richard’s support, Fire Lizard Craftsn in the Secret Realm had initiated the “chanic” plan to create their own Holy Armor.
The process of this plan was not smooth sailing, but it was at least fraught with difficulties.
Neural control technology did indeed have a heritage in New World Island, but essentially, it was a biological modification technology, completely different from the Alchemy used by the Fire Lizard Craftsn.
The Fire Lizards had to transform this technology into Alchemy Technology.
Besides neural control technology, there was also endless debate over Armor design.
Each Fire Lizard Alchemy Master wanted to include their proudest work, but their skills were far from balanced enough to incorporate all these elents.
This led to the initial design of the Armor being very cumberso, which Richard outright rejected and demanded a redesign.
Later, the Fire Lizard Craftsn optimized several drafts, but none were satisfactory. Out of necessity, Richard went to New World Island and brought Makar into the Secret Realm to teach these Fire Lizard Craftsn what was essential and what was supplentary.
With Makar’s help, the design was finally finalized.
But after finalization, the Fire Lizard Craftsn encountered technical issues.
Many things seed simple on paper, but once it ca to actual implentation, there were all sorts of problems.
Fortunately, there were enough Fire Lizard Craftsn, and their skill levels were strong. They overca these technical issues one after another through collective wisdom.
When Richard last entered the Secret Realm, these Fire Lizard Craftsn told him there was only one issue left unresolved.
Now, only one month had passed, and unexpectedly, this issue was resolved so quickly.
Richard entered the Secret Realm Rift.
Upon entering the Secret Realm, Richard saw a majestic steel Giant Beast standing not far from him.
As a Third-Level Fire Lizard, Makar was already three ters tall, and wearing this set of Armor, he was even taller by a head.
His already strong body wrapped in Armor was like a wall of sighs.
In Makar’s right hand was a golden Chain Saw Sword, its ter-long sawtooth blade seed capable of tearing through any defense.
And in his left hand, a thick tal shield that would make any rational creature give up the thought of attacking.
Seeing Richard enter the Secret Realm, Makar imdiately moved towards him, aided by the Gravity Enchantnt, the several-ton-heavy Makar walked on the soft ground without even leaving footprints.
Yes, this Armor didn’t just utilize Giant Dragon Alchemy, so functions that Giant Dragon Alchemy couldn’t achieve, were substituted with Wizard Alchemy by Richard.
“My lord.”
Makar knelt on one knee.
The Fire Lizard Craftsn also quickly gathered around Richard, their faces worn but excited.
To complete this Armor as soon as possible, they had been working almost tirelessly these days.
Calion ca up to Richard, his voice filled with excitent,
“My Lord, we have completed it.”
Richard nodded, slightly acknowledging the tired Fire Lizard Craftsn.
“Folks, you have worked hard these days. As a reward for your labor, all staff of the Alchemy Workshop will have three months’ holiday.”
Hearing Richard’s reward, a few Fire Lizard Alchemy Masters felt indifferent, but the Fire Lizard Workers who worked in the workshop rejoiced.
“Thank you, my Lord!”
“My lord, you truly are the embodint of kindness!”
“My lord, I actually don’t need to rest…”
This was quickly interrupted, as a group of Fire Lizards pinned him down and gave him a good beating.
Richard did not pay attention to these Fire Lizard Workers’ performance. His reason for shutting down the Alchemy Workshop was simple, the Alchemy parts produced by these Fire Lizards were already sufficient for Richard’s use for quite so ti.
Continuing would only take up warehouse space with no other purpose.
“Who can brief on the data of this Armor?” Richard asked an Alchemy Master standing nearby.
Sulina, holding a data sheet, squeezed next to Richard,
“Sir, here are the test data sheets.”
Richard took the data sheet and imdiately drew in a sharp breath.
Being the Prototype, many aspects of the Armor were made without regard to cost, resulting in very high performance specifications.
The Armor’s protection capabilities were extrely strong; spells below four thousand Energy Levels would not cause structural damage to the armor body. And the shield he held could resist Elental Attacks of up to six thousand Energy Levels.
In terms of offense, Makar, bolstered by the Armor, could deliver two thousand Energy Levels of blunt damage with a regular punch. The Chain Saw Sword combined Demon-breaking and Cutting damage.
The only downside of the entire Armor was its lack of ranged damage and too ager offensive ans.
But this was Richard’s issue; he had declared that he would handle the offensive weapons himself.
Aside from attack and defense, the Armor had no issues with flexibility.
Wearing the Armor, Makar’s speed was even faster than his unarmored self.
Furthermore, the Armor also had the function of concealing Qi, rendering most spiritual power probes ineffective once fully ard.
One could say, as a Guard Armor, except for being expensive, it had no flaws.
Richard folded the data sheet neatly and put it in his pocket, then asked Sulina:
“What is this Armor called?”
Sulina looked up at Richard, her eyes seemingly sparkling,
“My lord, it’s called ‘chanic’.”
