For the next three days, Ding Meng returned to Huating Mountain Villa and stayed in the villa's main hall to cultivate. For him, he had more or less mastered all kinds of martial arts, so there was nothing he didn't know.
In fact, at his level, those fancy things were actually impractical. Battle sage level powerhouses focused on returning to their origin, returning to their natural state. However, from Mason's words, he learned of another legendary level — Origin Energy War God!
This level wasn't officially adopted by the Federal Empire. Instead, it was defined by countless origin ability users. The standard was to break through ten billion points in origin ability index. Many people thought that after breaking through to a certain level, they would be able to grasp more mysterious and powerful things. However, in the information provided by the international space network, there was no mention of a fierce person at the Origin Energy War God level.
Of course, this didn't mean that there weren't any. It was just that when one's index broke through the ten billion mark, the amount of martial arts secret manuals that one could learn from basic cultivation methods was basically non-existent. It didn't mean that one's index couldn't be reached.
Ding Meng was thinking. According to what Little Rascal had said before, his "Diamond Star Art" could definitely break through, but martial arts secret manuals could only be explored by himself. It was time to properly practice Teacher Zhao Yue's "Solitary Sword of Zhao" and "Heavenly Sword Thirteen Styles".
During these three days of cultivation, the strange thing was that Lan Bing didn't return to the villa. Ding Meng also didn't know what she was doing. As the president of Shenghao's branch, one could see how busy she was.
At noon on the fourth day, Mason finally sent a message: "Success!
Hurry back! "
Ding Meng was overjoyed. Without saying anything else, he drove straight to the Xuefeng Building. In the Kejia server of the technology center, the virtual space had been changed to a cliff on the east coast of Blue Pole Star City.
Mason's mirror image was standing at the edge of the cliff. He was surrounded by a large screen of light, but he was fiddling with the screens, seemingly analyzing the data.
"Secretary Ding, come!" Mason called out as he waved his hand in the air.
The many screens merged into one, forming an extremely large screen. On the screen, there was a black humanoid battle armor in the center. Ding Meng's first reaction was, "Sure enough, the thoughts of experts are the same. It seems that Mason and Yao Manrou have the same thoughts."
This battlesuit was too similar to the First Prototype. It was too unremarkable and too ordinary, just like a suit of armor. If one did not examine it carefully, one would think that it was just a simple mechanical suit. However, Ding Meng knew that there must be something more to it.
Mason was already explaining, "Normal source cores can no longer support the armor that can be used by Battle-Lords and Battle-Saints, so the core was changed to a hypercore …"
Ding Meng could understand this logic. The principle of a source core was to multiply Origin Energy, but what was converted was not the purest form of Origin Energy. It was a combination of Origin Energy, crystal energy, nuclear energy, electrical energy, technological energy, and so on. In terms of data, it was multiplied.
However, normal Origin Energy Index was in the tens of thousands, so the source core could still support it. However, people at the Battle-Lord level and above had Origin Energy Index in the hundreds of millions, so the source core core had to be replaced with a hypercore.
The hypercore wasn't some kind of advanced technology. Simply put, it was an upgraded version of the source core core. However, the energy it converted, including crystal energy, magnetic energy, superconductive energy, and other types of energy, was very small. Most of it was still the soldier's own Origin Energy.
Mason said, "I set it according to your parameters. Watch carefully!"
On the screen, the armor suddenly raised its hand and pushed forward. In the 3D image, it could be clearly seen that this was the most standard "Holy Tiger Sun Palm." The wind generated by the palm was marked by all kinds of densely packed lines. The Origin Energy mirror image quickly appeared. It was like a burning tiger's head was about to bite the enemy.
However, an incredible scene occurred. The tiger's head was only halfway through when it turned into the shape of a giant palm with a boom. Its volume increased by at least five times. It was simply like the Buddha's Palm.
Ding Meng was stunned. "Did you change the form of the battle technique?"
Mason nodded. "The armor itself plays a catalytic and even evolutionary role. Not only that, but its conversion capacity has also increased. This is an adjustment made according to your thermodynamic characteristics. The only flaw is that it can only withstand three times the conversion rate. As for the real effect, it will depend on your actual combat."
Ding Meng cursed in his heart. This armor alone was many times stronger than the models of Hercules, Tyrael, and Skana.
Mason continued, "Secondly, because of the authorization from the headquarters, only ten units of Rou Xia are allowed to be used, so it is inevitable to add metal components. However, I changed my approach. I gave up on nanomaterials and some alloy materials and changed it to liquid gold. This is a brand-new liquid metal developed by the headquarters of Shenghao Group. The model is 3TXY-12 …"
The armor on the screen began to move again. Many spikes and steel plates extended from the original human form of the armor. The overall appearance was changing. It was the most popular colorful, powerful, and domineering style on the market.
Mason said, "It can adapt to different environments. There are four types of forms. I won't show you one by one here because there are many changes involved. After you come down, you have to read and use the memory chip well."
Ding Meng had already seen that the armor was constantly changing its shape. It had almost merged all the forms of armor on the market. In other words, it was a multi-functional armor.
Unexpectedly, Mason said, "I've named this armor 'Prince Turns into a Frog.'"
Ding Meng was confused. "Why did you give it such a strange name?"
Mason said, "There are reasons. First of all, why is it called 'Prince' and not 'King'?
It's because the father is better than the son. Although 'Prince' is very strong, it is actually not mature. You know the reason. There are too few Rou Xia materials. Why is it strong?
The reason is also because of Rou Xia. With the components I added, it has very powerful camouflage, stealth, and stealth functions. In terms of auxiliary functions, it is extremely high-end … "
Ding Meng was impressed. He really admired the thinking of these warframe masters. Such an awesome armor was actually described as a son.
Mason said, "Let's talk about the biggest advantage of 'Prince'. I didn't install a technological weapon system because you don't need it anymore. You are the most powerful weapon. So the main idea of the weapon system is to combine your general telekinesis with your Catoptric Deflection to give it an unparalleled offensive ability. Then, Rou Xia and the Liquid Gold will give it an insane defense. You will experience this in the future."
Ding Meng asked curiously, "Then why did you call it a frog?"
Mason frowned. "That's the weakness of this armor."
Ding Meng quickly asked, "What are its weaknesses?"
Mason counted with his fingers and said, "First, it has a natural enemy. If you encounter an enemy at the level of the Devouring Realm's Sect Master or Queen, you must not equip it. No matter how strong you are, once you equip it, you'll be finished. This is because the Rou Xia is a poisonous material secreted by monsters at the level of the Great Elder. The Sect Master and Queen are far superior to the Great Elder. They have many ways to destroy the Rou Xia, and they can even melt it and recycle it.
Ding Meng nodded seriously. "Understood!"
Mason said, "Second, the hypercore itself has a lot of drawbacks. It no longer relies on the crystal energy engine of a normal armor, but your own energy. In layman's terms, the armor's power is provided by your own energy. When you are full of energy and your telekinesis is normal, it is unusually sharp. If you are not in good condition or are seriously injured, its operation will be greatly reduced. You still have to remember the principles behind it."
Ding Meng nodded and said, "I'll read it carefully."
Mason said, "Third, I've actually thought about this armor when I was studying in Saint Brilliance College. However, I couldn't make it into reality without enough resources. But now, I've taken the risk. Although it has taken shape, I found that its maintenance cost is too expensive to be measured by money. Once something like Rou Xia is damaged, it is impossible for us humans to repair it with our technology. Only the super monsters of the Devourer's Sect have the ability to repair it. So, we have to change the materials.
So, do you know what I mean? "Ding Meng certainly understood. The repair materials had to be obtained from the hinterland of the Devourer's Sect. Even for Battle-Saints, who could guarantee that they could come back alive from such a place?
Mason finally said something shocking. "So, if I'm not mistaken, this is a limited edition armor. Once it is damaged, it can't be repaired. In other words, it is a one-time consumable."
Ding Meng sighed. "I will make good use of it."
Mason said seriously, "You have to make good use of it because it is too expensive."
Ding Meng asked tentatively, "How much is it worth in star coins?"
Mason looked at him meaningfully. "I can only reveal to you that it's a 12-digit production cost!"
Oh my god, Ding Meng suddenly wanted to scream. A 12-digit cost of 100 billion star coins. This was too scary. Low-end armor like the Black Rock Knight was only worth a few hundred million. Tyrael's market price was five billion. Even the second-generation Hercules' retail price was only 8.8 billion. But this' Prince Transformed Frog 'cost more than 100 billion star coins. It really was a prince transformed into a frog.
"So this' Prince Transformed Frog 'is comparable to a large starship?" Ding Meng's eyes widened.
Mason nodded. "Yes, it can even withstand the full force of a starship's main cannon. As long as you are strong enough, it can even withstand the bombardment of a railgun."
Ding Meng was dumbfounded. Wasn't this invincible?
Mason said calmly, "It is not invincible. As far as I know, there are even more powerful armors than this' Prince Transformed Frog ', and they are all used by Battle Saints. So, I need to remind you that no matter how advanced and powerful the armor's functions are, the real power is still you Origin Ability users. In the end, you will find that you have to rely on yourself."
"Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Mason. I will keep it in mind."
Ding Meng said gratefully. He admired Mason, not only for his ability, but also for his philosophy.
An excellent armor master could not only create crazy armor, but also accurately analyze its advantages and disadvantages. It was just like practicing martial arts. It was not a skill to be able to use it, but it was a skill to be able to withdraw it. This was the so-called ability to withdraw and release at will.
Mason said, "You can rest assured. Although the Sheng Hao Group owns the armor, it is your exclusive right to use it. I have sealed all information about you and the design of this armor. I will have someone send the finished product to the president's office later."
