Chapter 973: 700 Chapters to be better

"Since you’re here, don’t rush back just yet. There is a very impressive scientific team here, Xiangyun, you could interact and learn a lot from them," Zheng Yichen said, mentioning things that interested Qi Xiangyun.

"Is it those people from the world with the Firmament Wheel?" Qi Xiangyun’s eyes sparkled as she asked. She had seen photos of the Firmament Wheel and felt it was magnificent.

None of the worlds she had experienced could match the level of the world with the Firmament Wheel.

"There’s also another one that specializes in crafting artificial intelligence. I heard they have some development plan for Red Star armor. You should try to exchange ideas to see if you can apply it to your Mechanical Techniques."

"I will," Qi Xiangyun nodded and then went to fetch a Dusk nun. After keeping twenty merit points to herself, she transferred the rest of her points to Zheng Yichen.

She had been a Dusk mercenary for the shortest time, and some of her merit points had been spent on experimental use, so the number of points she had left wasn’t much.

After saving twenty points, she had only sixteen left. She didn’t feel bad about this, as there weren’t many places left to use them.

Create items? She could craft things by hand already, and besides, Zheng Yichen was always sending her some technological products; there was no need to create anything.

With the current resources of Qi Family Town, as long as Qi Xiangyun wanted to, the town could take off right from its current location and become a floating island.

Lin Yaoyao and Liu Hongzhao’s combined merit points totaled forty-seven, with Liu Hongzhao having the most.

Suddenly having an extra sixty-three points might seem like a lot, but this was only half of what Liu Hongzhao and the others had accumulated over the better part of a year. For a Proxy Agent, it was the matter of two missions.

The tenfold difference in earnings. Even with ten missions a year, the Dusk mercenaries could barely compete with a Proxy Agent completing one mission.

"Hand over your weapons to me. What comes next is a big upgrade," Zheng Yichen took the weapons from the three little ones. The materials were relatively inexpensive within the Dusk mercenary circles, yet for many people, they were not cheap.

Take the World Tree’s original branch he had acquired; in the Dusk mercenary circles, no matter how inexpensive... at least twenty merit points for a start, right?

Don’t think that price is cheap. There are just too many worlds, and there are a good number of Dusk mercenaries. Somebody is bound to encounter special adventures. If Zheng Yichen could get a branch from the World Tree, someone else somewhere might obtain something even better.

With many people, anything is possible.

When the three little ones arrived here, it was almost evening, and Ahn Ke’s preparations were nearly complete.

Researchers wanted a ’hardcore’ scalpel, which has undergone many design adjustments. To put it simply, it involved a combination of magic array formations that endowed the tool with numerous functions.

A scalpel that included protection, sterilization, and repair abilities; even if one didn’t use the tool for dissection, carrying it as an amulet could allow one to perform biochemical experiments in environments where magical power could be exercised, with no need for any additional protection.

In case of a virus leak or similar problems, one could ignore these leaks.

What Katrina and Eileena had decided on wasn’t something like a Magic Wand. Zheng Yichen had discussed weapon crafting with them before.

They suggested that witches’ ’equipment’ didn’t need to be brooms or wand or staffs; a pair of gloves would suffice. Apart from aiding and enhancing casting, gloves could be used for many other things.

With gloves, they could engage in crafting items, which a wand couldn’t do.

So, the design drawings the two witches presented were of light, lace long gloves, differing only in color, black and white.

As for the difficulty of crafting, Zheng Yichen glanced at it and figured as long as Dusk handled it, with enough merit points provided, Dusk could produce it normally.

The gloves had the effect of enhancing casting. Of course, they were more for aiding in crafting items and magical research. However, these gloves were much like Zheng Yichen’s motorcycle.

Saying that a vehicle lacks combat power, yet it still can exhibit strong force in battle. The gloves were simply more focused on crafting assistance, but their effect on enhancing magic wasn’t inferior to the Divine Artifacts and similar items from the neighboring world of magic.

Otherwise, it would be a disservice to the materials used.

Fragments of God’s Corpse, fragments of the Great Evil God, the Apocalypse Stone, the World Tree’s original branches and leaves, and the materials Zheng Yichen had saved before, excluding those with conflicting properties.

This kind of equipment came with built-in resistances, and the attack effects would be significantly powerful as well.

"Let’s start then."

"130 merit points."

"Why did it go up?"

"Because you added extra materials and the quantity of items to be made."

Zheng Yichen slightly curled his lips into a smile, said nothing more, and directly paid the merit points.

"Two hours," Tia responded briskly as she meticulously tore off a neat piece of a giant World Tree leaf, snapped off a part of the World Tree’s original branch, wrapped up Zheng Yichen’s huge pile of equipment in the leaf, and left the area.

merit points, oh my. The demands were based on a proposed budget, and the arrival of Qi Xiangyun and the others had provided him with additional points, so he was able to restore some previously cut portions.

He originally planned to make sword sheaths for their weapons out of ordinary World Tree branches, but now he went straight to using primeval branches instead.

He added other various items as well, even including armors, which directly resulted in the hefty price that Tia had quoted.

Quality steel should be used where it matters most. The three little ones had given him nearly all the merit points he used up, and the new armors were also made for them.

World Tree leaves combined with Apocalypse Stones and other materials that could increase resistance and counter spatial powers naturally wouldn’t make cheap armors.

But with better equipment, they would be able to earn merit points more easily. In the future, when they needed to upgrade their gear, they could come to him directly, saving the cost of starting a new forge.

Two hours were not a long time. After a little chat with the three little ones—his experiences in the Great World weren’t even fully shared yet—Tia returned.

"Check your equipment," he urged eagerly as he looked at the new gear Tia had brought back.

All the new equipment was wrapped inside a cat spirit cloak. Upon unfolding the cloak, the items looked a bit messy piled together, yet any single item within could be regarded as a Divine Artifact.

Among them were several leafy globes, which were clothes made from World Tree leaves. According to the design plans, these clothes came with the effect of "Illusion Change."

An exclusive technique of the Dragon Tribe, meant to be used in conjunction with Transformation techniques; this was also why some dragons naturally wore clothes after transforming. The relevant magic was provided by Tanshia Firlo.

Clothes made from World Tree leaves inherently contained an active trait, allowing such equipment to repair itself like a plant when damaged. The active trait made it easier for the gear to change form.

Currently globular, they could transform into all kinds of clothing including underwear, highlighting convenience.

"Incredible, the theoretical methods in our inherited memories can be directly realized by Dusk..." Tanshia Firlo remarked in surprise, holding one of the leafy globes.

In the hands of the small white dragon, the leafy globe unfolded, its leaves changing their color and material to become a child’s vest.

Zheng Yichen’s outstretched hand paused. He naturally picked up a nearby leafy globe and gave it a slight sense.

"In a high-level environment, even if these transform into underwear, they can still provide full protection. In lower-level environments, to achieve their intended function, they need to be shaped into regular clothes," he explained.The active trait allowed the item to grow on its own within the ’clothing’ range, after all, it would be a shame if something made from World Tree leaves did not have that effect.

However, it could only transform within the range of clothing; this item was not made as a weapon, nor did it have those game-like properties where an armor piece, oddly enough, would provide an attack bonus.

Armor is armor, and parts of it displaying lethal force primarily work with energy attacks, unless it came spiked.

Or perhaps similar to his own cat spirit cloak, where the attack strength exhibited was that summoned by the creature itself.

With such equipment, there’d be no need to constantly buy new clothes; one could simply transform them into whatever design was desired. That’s what Zheng Yichen thought, though when it came to women’s preferences, perhaps not shopping for clothes would take away much of the fun?

No matter, it would be fine to wear these ’World Tree battle suits’ as underwear.

Seven leafy globes, none for Zheng Yichen; he didn’t need an additional piece since he had a cat spirit cloak. He just needed to integrate World Tree leaves into his cat spirit cloak.

On Eileena and Katrina’s lace gloves, you could see the vein patterns of the leaves. When they put on these, and then donned the World Tree battle suits, the types of clothing could be synchronized. Since they’re made from the same origin materials, the two could even be interconnected.

Liu Hongzhao’s weapons appeared to have undergone no substantial change on the outside, but internally, they had been significantly altered. The additional sheath was essentially a shield version of the World Tree battle suit, offering stronger protection.

The battle suits were primarily made from leaves, while the sheaths were principally made from branches.

At the center of Tanshia Firlo’s Holy Relic of Life was a new addition, a tree that looked like a red, spherical piece of amber.

On Ahn Ke’s surgical scalpel, fine leaf veins could be seen. When she touched the blade, it didn’t hurt her. After a slight change in the vein pattern on the blade, her finger had a fine cut. As the leaf pattern changed again, the wound was erased: "I really like this."

"Dusk products must be of fine quality. After spending so many merit points, how could the results be anything less? This stuff has binding properties, so play with it often when you have the time."

Zheng Yichen spoke while eagerly picking up a fishing rod that showed no external changes. As for his car, he would go check on it in the garage later. For now, he wanted to familiarize himself with what was immediately at hand.
