Chapter 4: Is Your Armor Expensive?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“I didn’t think you could actually bring out something like that.”

Li Feng looked at this set of Elementary-Grade battle armor and felt a little envious. Yang Wei had really invested a lot in this hunting event organized by the school.

Yang Wei, who was wearing the Elementary-Grade battle armor, appeared extremely confident as he provoked Li Feng. “Of course, if you are afraid, I can take off my battle armor and spar with you. After all, you have wasted a year’s time, so I won’t bully you.”

“There’s no need for that. Let’s go to the training ground!” Li Feng said calmly.

He also wanted to see if the Elementary-Grade battle armor, which had been highly praised, was really as the rumors said. It was said the players without a Class could not break through this armor.

“Good, you have guts..” Yang Wei laughed.

Then, they arrived at the training ground. It was an empty field with an arena in the middle. The ground was made of solid materials to prevent it from being destroyed by the sparring between students.

“There just happens to be no one. Even if you lose, no one will see you lose face. Come at me.” Yang Wei jumped onto the stage and teased Li Feng.

Today was the day for people to enter dungeons. Thus, there were not many people on the training ground as they did not want to waste their energy before entering the dungeons. Compared to the usual crowd, there was only an old man with a white beard sweeping the floor.

“Yeah, it just so happens that there’s no one here,” said Li Feng in a meaningful tone. Then, he also jumped onto the arena.

Sheng Xu smiled and said, “Yang Wei, all of us still need to enter the dungeon later. Remember to show mercy.”

Qin Anran also looked at Li Feng with a burning gaze. Although Li Feng’s performance had been poor for the past year, he was once a distinguished person. Thus, she didn’t know how much strength he could display now.

“Li Feng, I’ll let you make your move first,” said Yang Wei calmly with his hands behind his back.

“Okay.”

When faced with Yang Wei, who was wearing the Elementary-Grade battle armor, Li Feng didn’t hold back and said, “Be careful. I have five strength points.”

The next moment, he charged forward like a ferocious tiger and punched Yang Wei in the chest.

Before the era of global digitization, most ordinary adults had two strength points. Only very few people could reach three points.

Meanwhile, Li Feng’s strength had reached five points. Thus, there was no doubt that he was a superman.

Bang! A dull sound rang out.

Li Feng’s expression changed slightly. It was as if his fist had smashed into titanium alloy. Meanwhile, Yang Wei didn’t move at all. Instead, a rebounding force was transmitted from his Elementary-Grade battle armor, causing Li Feng to take a few steps back.

“Li Feng, haven’t you eaten? You’re too weak!” Yang Wei mocked Li Feng. He was full of confidence. A set of Elementary-Grade battle armor was indeed powerful.

Below the arena, Qin Anran could not help but frown. If it was a year ago, five strength points would have been considered quite good. However, it was considered the lowest standard in the third year.

“You only have five strength points. That’s too low!” Sheng Xu couldn’t help but shake his head.

The entire world had already been digitized. Thus, there was no such thing as aptitude. As long as one did not slack off and used breathing techniques day and night to temper oneself, one year’s time was enough to raise one’s strength to 6 points or above.

Li Feng’s family background was poor. Thus, in the future, he would definitely be a Warrior or a Tank. These two Classes had very high strength requirements.

“It looks like there’s no suspense in this battle. Just lose.” Yang Wei grinned. Then, he charged at Li Feng with astonishing speed like a tank.

The Elementary-Grade battle armor was one of the Great Xia Kingdom’s greatest inventions in recent years. Not only was it sturdy, it was also light and wouldn’t affect the user’s agility. Thus, it received the greatest love from the players.

“Sure enough, my strength is still too weak.”

Li Feng shook his head and an unhurried expression appeared on his face. Then, he activated his breathing technique and a mysterious power surged from his heart. After that, a hexagonal star array appeared, and a rectangular robot jumped out. It stood in front of Li Feng.

Ever since he obtained the Mechanical Heart, he realized that not only did the energy consumption of summoning the RX Pursuer decrease, his speed had also increased significantly.

This Mechanical Heart breathing technique was probably one of the core Mechanical skills.

“What is this? Could it be a Primary-Rank Skill?” Yang Wei was shocked, but he quickly reacted. He was fearless as he was equipped with the Elementary-Grade battle armor. Thus, he threw a punch at Li Feng.

Boom!

The RX Pursuer self-destructed, and a small mushroom cloud burst out. This sent Yang Wei flying. The armor on his chest had been broken, and he was badly mangled.

“What?”

“How is that possible?”

Below the arena, Qin Anran and Sheng Xu were stunned.

They had never expected this outcome.

“I underestimated the power of the RX Pursuer.” Li Feng was also secretly speechless. He didn’t expect that with one strike, not only had he broken through Yang Wei’s defense, he also accidentally injured Yang Wei.

Immediately after, he said in embarrassment, “Are you alright? I didn’t know that this skill was so powerful. If I had known, I wouldn’t have accepted your challenge.”

At this critical moment when they were about to enter the dungeon, such a big slip-up actually happened. This made Li Feng feel somewhat apologetic.

“It’s fine. I’m convinced now.” Yang Wei got up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Then, he said with some lingering fear, “Fortunately, you ignored my challenge previously. Otherwise, I’m afraid that I would have to go to the hospital.”

He had almost been seriously injured by the explosion even after putting on the Elementary-Grade battle armor. If he had not worn the armor, he would probably be rushing to the crematorium now.

“Sigh, looks like the rumors were detrimental. It was said that players without a Class cannot break through the Elementary-Grade battle armor. It’s all a lie.” Li Feng looked as if he was deeply hurt.

“…”

The three of them fell silent, not knowing what to say. This kind of showing off took a lot of skill.

Meanwhile, the white-bearded old man who was sweeping at the side felt his mouth twitch. “This skill of yours is too abnormal. How can it be the same? It’s not much weaker than the skills of some Classes.”

“By the way, is your armor expensive?”

Li Feng suddenly spoke. Then, he said a little shyly, “You know that my family is very poor. Furthermore, we sparred fairly this time. You won’t ask me to compensate you, right?”

Although the Elementary-Grade battle armor was not durable, it looked very gorgeous on the surface. Thus, it should not be cheap. It was said that it cost 500,000 yuan per set.

“You don’t have to.”

Yang Wei’s heart was bleeding, but he still pretended to be generous and said, “The hunting activity is the most important. As long as we can obtain a good ranking this time, it doesn’t matter even if we lose another set of Elementary-Grade battle armor.”

“That’s right. Originally, I only wanted to get a middle-upper ranking. Now that we have you, we might be able to aim for a higher standard.”

Sheng Xu said happily.

This time, they had really picked up a treasure. He didn’t think that Li Feng, this notorious internet addict, was actually a hidden expert player. With just this skill, he could probably crush most of his peers.

Yang Wei said somewhat regretfully, “It’s a pity that we only prepared three sets of the Elementary-Grade battle armor this time. Otherwise, we might be able to take a gamble on the top three rankings.”

“Why don’t I hand over my armor?” Qin Anran suggested.

Right now, Li Feng was the main force of the team. Thus, his safety had to be ensured.

After the Class Advancement, every team of players would be allocated positions according to their Classes, such as the Sorcerer, Support, and Tank.

“No need. I’m still confident in my positioning. When the time comes, you guys just have to be careful,” said Li Feng calmly.

Some experiences in the game would be transmitted to real life. Thus, the positioning he had obtained in-game after training hard for a year would naturally result in an extremely impressive positioning in real life as well.

Some small monsters could not even touch him.
