Chapter 1161: Mysterious Woman Battle Armor (3)

Iron armor has a very long crafting cycle.

A full set takes even longer.

A complete iron armor set of 5 pieces takes roughly 140–150 work hours in total.

Under a 10-hour workday, a single blacksmith needs 2 weeks to produce one full set of iron armor.

And that's only the crafting time.

If you add in the time to smelt iron ingots, it's even longer.

But Zhao Chi currently has ready-made iron armor sets in his territory, so he only needs to refit them.

Refitting from existing gear is much faster.

Soon, accelerated by the Speed-Work Talisman, a set of Mysterious Woman Battle Armor was refitted.

Standard quality, divided into 5 pieces.

Mysterious Woman Helmet, Mysterious Woman Chestplate, Mysterious Woman Leg Armor, Mysterious Woman Hand Armor, Mysterious Woman War Boots.

Each piece's base stats are exactly the same as iron armor's.

Durability, defense—both are iron armor's stats.

It just adds the Mysterious Woman Battle Armor set's attribute bonus on top.

Each piece grants 5% damage reduction and 5% learning.

With all 5 pieces combined, damage reduction increases by 25% total, and learning increases by 25% total.

There's also a set bonus of 5% damage reflection.

Honestly, at this stage it's already pretty good.

Quite a bit stronger than ordinary gear.

And Zhao Chi made another discovery—why is this battle armor… so weird?

The original iron chestplate was very large; it should cover the entire shoulders, neck, upper arms, chest, back, waist, and abdomen.

Like the area covered by a short-sleeved shirt.

But this Mysterious Woman Battle Armor… why does it seem to cover such a small area?

For one thing, even the most important chest area has a large section exposed, and the back also has a gap.

The neck and throat are also left exposed.

It's like armor in a game…

Is this really practical?

The iron hand armor is fairly normal, but the iron leg guards are very strange.

Are these leg guards?

Isn't this an iron skirt?

If an enemy attacks from below, couldn't they hit the thighs directly?

The iron boots don't look like boots either; they're more like iron high heels, only protecting the soles.

The top of the foot and the entire lower leg are left exposed.

Is the defense area really this small?

Zhao Chi didn't quite understand.

Would it get better after modification?

He immediately activated the Mysterious Woman Battle Armor Modification Book, and the Mysterious Woman Battle Armor Super Modification Book.

Light flashed.

The image of an entire set of battle armor appeared before his eyes.

Each piece displayed a large number of options.

He found that the modification options for all 5 pieces were identical, no difference at all.
