Chapter 361: Chapter 1: SS-Class Item Iron Hellfire

The night enveloped him, Tang Zheng was transported back to a narrow alley in the real world. He looked around to ensure no one was around. Instead of leaving, he sat down, hugging his knees, touching his wristwatch. His mood fluctuated as he recalled everything that had just happened, unsure whether his decision was right or wrong.

Looking at the power armor on the screen, which resembled Iron Man’s armor, Tang Zheng fell in love at first sight. This was exactly the kind of special item he wanted.

"Iron Hellfire, a power armor whose design is inspired by a superhero equipment. This armor is formed from alien metallically evolved molecules that have been rearranged into crystalline iron and then strengthened by a strong magnetic field and covered over other metals primarily titanium, forming a flexible but extraordinarily solid protective shell that offers extreme defense."

"The Steel Unicorn gives the user immense strength, conserves physical strength, has added thrusters for flight, and can provide ten minutes of protection and survival ability in extreme environments such as a vacuum, deep ocean, arctic snow peaks, strong radiation."

"The operating system, facilitated by the artificial intelligence residing in the wristwatch, is straightforward and intuitive. It offers strategic consultation and real-time armor status reports using internal and external sensors."

"The weapon system: The palm of the glove can fire an impact beam, with power equivalent to an 88mm cannon. Additionally it has ordinary shoulder and wrist rocket shells, shoulder-mounted three-barrel Gatling machine gun, an inbuilt chest energy beam cannon, and leg-mounted induction missiles, and smoke bombs."

As he skimmed through the enemy detection systems and various equipment swapping introductions, Tang Zheng almost drooled. Wearing this power armor, he could become a humanoid self-propelled cannon. His survivability and mobility would improve significantly, but the price was too high.

SS class item, worth 19,000 points, two Star Seeds, and ten Golden Seeds.

"I can’t afford it. It’s too expensive." Tang Zheng clicked his tongue, nearly unable to resist using a point discount device to give it a shot.

"Tang Zheng, because you are a foreign aid, you enjoy a 10% discount." Red Trojan was enthusiastically promoting the Iron Hellfire, "If you purchase it now, you can enjoy an 80% discount and also purchase a limited edition. This version allows the user to modify and add or remove equipment components at will, turning it into a set of power armor tailor-made for you."

"Is there only one set of the limited edition?" Lu Fan showed interest, asking, "Can I see the real thing?"

"Yes, there’s only one set." As the Red Trojan finished speaking, the floor split apart, and a steel frame lifted. A red and gold-painted battle suit appeared before them.

"The super-thin close-fitting design won’t make you look bulky when you wear it. If you don’t like the color, you can repaint it yourself." The Red Trojan’s screen started showing off the Iron Hellfire’s combat capabilities.

"Isn’t this the same as the armor Tony Stark wore in the comics?" Jack exclaimed in surprise, immediately pouncing on the Hellfire, tenderly touching it. Every man has a dream of being a superhero, and at this moment, he couldn’t contain his excitement, shouting, "Can it be cheaper?"

Miranda and the others were also amazed, their eyes shone brightly. This gadget was a lifesaver; they wished they could get their hands on it immediately.

"Uncle, buy it. Sharpening the blade won’t delay chopping wood. If you want to revive Uncle Lin and others, at the very least you need to ensure that you yourself don’t die first." Lu Fan really cared for Tang Zheng’s well-being, "You can earn points again after spending them, but if you miss this limited edition, you won’t get another chance."

"Tang, if you buy a hero card, it may be cheaper, but you can only use it for a few minutes. If you buy the Iron Hellfire, you will truly become Iron Man." The mechanical voice of the Red Trojan revealed a touch of emotion, "I don’t want to see a good person like you die."

"Can it be used in our world?" Miranda looked at the awestruck Jack and asked.

"Yes."

"Oh my God!" Hearing this answer, Jack exclaimed and drooled like Niagara Falls, completely forgetting his gentlemanly demeanor.

Tang Zheng was tempted, but it was the following words of the Red Trojan that completely swayed him.

"Oh, by the way, since Hellfire is a special product and you’re a foreign aid, if you miss this opportunity, you basically won’t get another chance to buy it at the Red Trojan room."

Miranda and others stirred up and looked at Tang Zheng, some unwilling to let go, and began to worry about the next Trojan Horse game.

"Take it, uncle. Aren’t you planning to compete with whoever wears it in the future team battle?" Lu Fan was excited, she even thought about using the SS-item that Yin Shangwu gave her for Russian Roulette, "If you don’t buy it, I will gamble."

"I won’t use points to pay, I will replace it with all my seeds. If it’s possible, I’ll buy it." Seeing Lu Fan take out her silver revolver, Tang Zheng knew she was not joking, so he also hardened his resolve.

"Yes, but although you have three Star Seeds, eight Gold Seeds, and some other seeds, it’s still not enough. You need to pay an additional 6,000 points." The Red Trojan smiled bitterly, "This is already the lowest price."

"I also have a discount device." Tang Zheng decided to give it a shot. He wanted to save as much as he could even if it risked doubling the price, "Wait, I still have the spoils of war from three space backpacks."

Immediately, Tang Zheng flipped out Robert and his comrades’ backpacks. Fortunately, he found a few more seeds. Although there were no Star Seeds, there were many Gold Seeds.

"Uncle, I’ve given you all my seeds too." Lu Fan also contributed her collection, the little Lolita held a Star Seed in her hand, without any hesitation or reluctance.

But Tang Zheng didn’t want these things. It wasn’t easy for the little Lolita to save up some seeds.

"Survivor Tang Zheng, Do you confirm to purchase the Iron Hellfire?" Two virtual buttons appeared in front of Tang Zheng. The Red Trojan Horse explained, "Don’t panic, because it is a limited edition item, the purchasing process is different".

"Confirm." Tang Zheng stretched out his index finger and pressed it.

"Purchase successful. Discount Device activated, 40% off. As per the purchaser’s wish, all payment will be made in seeds, and an extra 2000 points are needed." The Red Trojan Horse listed the prices.

Tang Zheng took a long breath, it was still within his range.

"Tang Zheng, as the third survivor in the Trojan Room to purchase SS-Class Items, your name will be recorded on the Honor List as an additional reward."

"Ha? You might as well give me a substantial reward." Tang Zheng reached out to his red-gold Armour, just touched it, and Armour spread up along his fingers. In just three seconds, it covered his body.

"Cool!" Miranda couldn’t help but whistle, Tang Zheng, standing one meter eighty-five tall, coupled with his burly figure, perfectly set off the Hellfire, awe-inspiring!

"Great, Uncle will be a humanoid Nuclear Bomb in the future!" Lu Fan held Tang Zheng’s leg, felt the cold, and unconsciously stuck her tongue out.

"The feeling is good." Tang Zheng moved his hands and feet, very comfortable, with no feeling of awkwardness or stiffness. The screen in front of him was filled with boxes and data, scanning everything within his view. Miranda and the others’ measurements and heights were all marked. He saw the wristwatch was exposed on the outside, it did not hinder him from summoning Firearms and Weapons.

"Damn, I can’t use the AK74 anymore." Tang Zheng frowned a little. Fortunately, the trigger guard is large enough for the sniper rifle and Thunderstorm rifle, but ordinary Firearms would not work. After wearing the Hellfire, his finger diameter was as thick as one centimeter.

"How do I put it away?" Just as Tang Zheng finished asking, the pieces of metal that made up the Power Armor shrank back like a tide and finally retreated into the wristwatch.

"Simple, isn’t it!" Raved of the Red Trojan Horse, adding, "Do you need some matching weapons? Like Incendiary Bullet, Armor Piercing Bullet, Hellfire Warheads..."

As a major customer, Tang Zheng, of course, was the target of VIP service. Still, the Red Trojan Horse did not neglect the others, "Pick whatever you want, because of Tang Zheng’s huge consumption, you as his teammates, have the chance to choose a C-level item for free."

"Long live Tang Zheng." Miranda shouted, through the browsing just now, she already knew how precious the points were. If chosen rightly, this C-level item could save their lives.

"Ha, I do not have real rewards?" The corner of Tang Zheng’s mouth was twitching, he asked, "How about a discount?"

"Alright, I give you three eight-tenths offers, but you can’t spend it yourself." The Red Trojan Horse compromised but Tang Zheng was not satisfied.

"This is entirely just receiving a good person card!"

Lu Fan chuckled and patted Tang Zheng’s thigh, "Never mind, I will help you to spend it."

"Forget it, it doesn’t matter." Tang Zheng is not the kind of petty person, anyway, this quota is used wisely. It could also save a lot of points for his teammates.

"By the way, what is the power source of the Hellfire? Tang Zheng can’t inset a Power Heart like Tony Stark, can he?" Lu Fan thought of a crucial issue.

"Just buy this micro power furnace." A steel stand rose, revealing a fist-sized metal ring that was shining brightly.

"How many points?" Lu Fan had a bad feeling, "Uncle won’t be trapped, will he?"

"The first two minutes are free each time it starts, then it will cost two points per minute during regular combat." The Red Trojan Horse’s words suddenly made Miranda and the others take in a cold breath, "For extreme actions like flying, deep-sea voyages, and beam cannon covering strikes, would require more points."

"120 points per hour? That’s so expensive!" Lu Fan was shocked, "Besides Tang Zheng, who is a points-saving maniac, who else can afford this power armor? No wonder you can’t sell it."

"They can’t even afford to buy it!" The Red Trojan Horse consoled Tang Zheng, "Imagine the benefits, this expenditure is nothing."

"No way, you have to reimburse me with a thousand rockets." Tang Zheng asked for a big deal, the fewer points, the valuable is the meat. In fact, he started to consider whether to pause every two minutes. Then he came up with another problem, Hellfire firepower was fierce, but bullets and these things were also bought with points, earlier he saw, ten rockets are worth one point. (To be continued.
