[Earth Dragon Armor
Tier: Extraordinary (Pseudo)
Type: Armor
Description: Made using Earth Dragon Tough Skin as the base, supplemented with Earth Dragon Scale Armor, Vibranium, Golden Silkworm Silk Thread, Water Essence, Demon Spider Silk Pouch, Snow Beast Neck Fur, and other Diamond Level materials. It possesses various magical traits.
Trait One: Water Affinity
Provides a slight enhancement when using Water or Ice Abilities.
Trait Two: Poison Gas Resistance
The wearer is completely immune to poison gases of Platinum Tier and below.
Trait Three: Unyielding
The wearer is granted partial abilities of the Earth Dragon, allowing them to mitigate some impact-type damage.
Trait Four: Visible Arrows are Easy to Avoid
Damage from melee and firearms (non-energy type) weapons to the wearer is reduced.
Trait Five: Soft and Comfortable
The soft Snow Beast Neck Fur inside provides the wearer with a good experience.
Drawback: Not breathable.]
The five major traits are simply amazing to the point of exploding!
Although it doesn’t have a universal trait like the Short Distance Teleportation of the Eye Demon War Boots, the one support and three defense traits perfectly fit Li Zheng’s needs.
The only downside is the lack of a trait that enhances Fire Abilities; otherwise, combined with the newly acquired "Explosion" ability, Li Zheng’s combat power would reach a new level.
Tactilely touching the surface of the Earth Dragon Armor, due to the combination of Earth Dragon Scales and some metal materials, it feels somewhat rough and not perfectly processed.
Moreover, the Earth Dragon Tough Skin itself has strong toughness, making it slightly laborious to bend, so one can imagine the wearing experience directly on the body wouldn’t be great.
Therefore, Li Chun added the soft Snow Beast Neck Fur to perfectly resolve the shortcomings in wearing experience; it has to be said, the little girl indeed put her heart into it.
The front of the Earth Dragon Armor is connected piece by piece with Earth Dragon Scales using Golden Silkworm Silk. Li Chun fully exerted her sharp talent in clothing design, using the gaps in the Earth Dragon Scales to create a lifelike and mighty dragon head shape.
The Earth Dragon Scales provided by Li Zheng were just enough for the front; the back consists of chain-link armor inlaid with specially processed Water Essence and Vibranium, thin and aesthetically pleasing, with defensive ability not inferior to the Earth Dragon Scales on the front.
The shoulders are drawn with the toughest silk from the Demon Spider Silk Pouch, forming two fierce dragon claws, draped over both shoulders, complementing the dragon head on the chest, as if an actual Black Dragon is entwined around this armor.
Looking at the whole, this Earth Dragon Armor has already surpassed the crafting function limit provided by the terminal.
Its creation is entirely a credit to Li Chun’s own craftsmanship and creativity, coupled with the sewing machine Li Zheng provided.
"Lin Feng, that alive... little bastard, almost ruined a master tailor!" Li Zheng sighed with satisfaction, quickly took off his coat, and put on this Earth Dragon Armor.
In an instant, Li Zheng’s aura changed, showing a hint of iron-blooded energy.
Unfortunately, that bald head ruined this aura, mingling a strong sense of "sleaziness" into what was originally a somewhat valiant warrior-like aura.
Li Zheng was unaware, spreading his arms and showing off to Xiaoying, asking proudly, "How is it? Handsome or what?"
"Owl? Crunch crunch..." Xiaoying, chewing on a crystal core, tilted her head to scrutinize Li Zheng for a while, then nodded in agreement.
Handsome?
Are you asking about the clothes?
They’re indeed quite handsome.
Xiaoying thought.
Yi Si and Kuro exchanged a glance once again; this master is simply something else, always coming up with grand gestures.
The materials used in this suit of armor, before they were transferred into a mechanical body, could provoke a war!
"As long as it’s handsome!" Li Zheng smiled contently, then became troubled again.
Li Chun, that girl, I don’t know what to say about her. Every time I ask her to make armor or clothing, she always adds some high-tier materials herself.
This time, it’s even more exaggerated. Besides the Earth Dragon Tough Skin and Scales, all the other materials were added by her, and they’re of Diamond Level. She used so many resources just to boost the armor to an Extraordinary Tier!
Though it comes with a "pseudo" label, indicating there’s still some way to go to truly reach Extraordinary Level armor.
But compared to ordinary Diamond Level gear, it’s much stronger.
This left Li Zheng a bit embarrassed for a while, unsure how to express gratitude to her.
"That girl usually relies on Little Spider for exploration; ordinary stuff probably wouldn’t be of much use to her anyway." Li Zheng thought, eyeing the crystal core in Xiaoying’s hand.
There are two Armored Dragon Turtle crystal cores, and in terms of the Dragon Turtle’s ability or type, it doesn’t quite match with Xiaoying.
"Why not give the remaining one as a reward for Li Chun, Little Spider could also utilize it." Li Zheng made up his mind and sent the remaining crystal core to Li Chun.
In terms of value, a single Armored Dragon Turtle crystal core definitely doesn’t match what Li Chun had put into those materials.
However, Li Zheng currently doesn’t have anything suitable to offer, so he could only cover part of it first and figure out the rest later.
"Right, I remember last time I gave her a whole set of Black Iron Level potions, why not take this opportunity to upgrade her to Bronze." Li Zheng clapped his hands, took out a full set of Bronze Potions from the capsule, and sent them to Li Chun.
He has so many of these things now that they are almost spoiling in storage, just waiting to be sold at an auction; giving them to Li Chun now doesn’t hurt at all.
On the contrary, Li Zheng would rather give her more, to help free up some space in his capsule residence.
Just a few seconds after the potions were sent over, Li Chun sent a private message: "Brother Zheng, take back the crystal core for Xiaoying to use."
Li Zheng assumed she was being polite and replied: "Take it, it doesn’t even cover half of the value of the materials you contributed; I’ll get you more suitable things later."
"But those materials were gifts I voluntarily gave you and don’t need to be returned," Li Chun continued in the private message.
Li Zheng laughed: "Silly girl, that’s nonsense. Are your materials just blown in by the wind? Can you just give them away at will?"
Li Chun: "It’s nothing, compared to saving my life, these materials really don’t mean much."
Li Zheng frowned: "How many days has it been, and you’re still hung up on this?"
Li Chun quickly replied: "My grandpa always said, for the favor of a drop of water, repay with a flood of gratitude; let alone a life-saving grace? These materials are far from enough to repay Brother Zheng for saving my life."
Li Zheng felt a bit helpless, knowing that finding her in danger was a chance encounter, and saving her wasn’t about seeking repayment, but why couldn’t she let go?
Not to mention when they went to deal with Lin Feng, it wasn’t just him who saved her; materials obtained from daily exploration are so limited, give this a bit and that a bit, can you still make a living?
Li Zheng: "Alright, one thing at a time, saving you wasn’t solely my effort, no need to affect your own life."
While it felt good to take advantage of others, Li Zheng preferred fair trading with fellow villagers, especially with innocent and kind-hearted girls like Li Chun; he didn’t want her to suffer losses.
Li Chun still insisted on not accepting the crystal core and replied: "I heard from Ye Kai and the others that you were the first to realize I was in danger and did everything to come save me, others mostly went to help out of respect for you, Brother Zheng."
"..." Li Zheng blinked, hell, how does it feel like Ye Kai and the rest pushed all the credit onto him with this excuse?
Isn’t that too much?
Clearly, everyone had a part in saving others back then; shouldn’t all the responsibility be shared by me?
Bastards!
