Chapter 25: 24. Contact Resonance (Seeking Follow-up Reads)
24. Contact Resonance (Seeking Follow-up Reads)
Gloves, light armor, leggings, long boots, and a helmet—five parts of the two people's bodies needed protection.
The young girl didn't care at all, standing with her hands on her hips and chest out, but Li Ang was cautious when operating.
There was only one thought after measuring: her figure was truly petite, but compared to her figure, the scale of her development was unexpectedly good...
The entire afternoon was manufacturing time. If it weren't for the system's assistance, Li Ang would have found it very difficult to be so efficient.
By the end of the manufacturing, what was lacking wasn't ore, but the materials used to make connection buckles and padding. Li Ang basically turned everything Zoe's dad had left in the blacksmith shop upside down, but it still wasn't enough, causing the finished products to be uncomfortable to wear.
"Make do with wearing them; the equipment will be replaced anyway."
Li Ang placed the single glove, helmet, and light armor belonging to Zoe in front of her. The young girl stared at them with eyes as wide as a kitten's, the urge to try on the equipment impatient.
While telling her how to wear and fix the armor, Li Ang also put on his own equipment to try it out first, so that he could adjust it if there were any problems.
"Hee hee, this helmet looks so ugly after putting it on." Zoe pointed at Li Ang and laughed.
Touching the outline of the helmet wrapping his head, Li Ang shook his head: "This kind of standard equipment definitely won't look good."
After making eight pieces of equipment this afternoon, Li Ang's equipment manufacturing profession leveled up.
【Profession: Equipment Manufacturing】
【Rank: 2. Next Level: 19/500 experience】
【Unlocked Blueprints: Fine Weapons 【All Categories】, Fine Armor 【All Categories】, Plastic Magic Tools 【All Categories】, Plastic Magic Clothing 【All Categories】】
"In the future, there will be no need to make standard equipment."
Li Ang glanced at the Rank 2 blueprints. They required Rank 2 materials, which couldn't be considered now, but he could look forward to the future.
"Can you make very pretty equipment?" Zoe asked while buckling the helmet strap.
"Of course I can."
Li Ang recalled the equipment on the main force of the Sky Team: "High-rank equipment, even if not made into armor style, has defensive power no less than armor. With appropriate matching, it will be both dashing and beautiful."
"That's great."
"Do you want to wear it?"
"If I wear it, it won't look good, I..."
The young girl pursed her lips, not saying "short and thin," but clearly hadn't adjusted her perception of herself yet.
She was still struggling with this.
"It will look good," Li Ang said.
Seeing Zoe still skeptical, he repeated it again.
"It will look good. As long as I get the right materials, I will definitely be able to make clothing that is both suitable for you and beautiful."
After putting on the equipment, Zoe turned her head left and right behind her to look at her armored appearance, with some questions in her eyes.
"Why are some pieces of equipment ice-cold, while others aren't? Didn't they all have water mist stones added?"
"I almost forgot. I'll teach you magic power resonance now."
For formation equipment to take effect on different people, they needed to have their magic power resonate with each other.
Relying on spiritual traction to guide magic power was an instinct for everyone in the Newbis world. Because they were bathed in magic power-filled atmosphere all year round, even people who weren't good at spellcasting could guide magic power to a certain extent if they chose a physical profession.
Everyone's spirituality was different, so the magic power operated had a certain frequency. Simply put, it was similar to breathing frequency or fingerprints; it was an identification feature for everyone.
In the various military formations of Newbis, there had always been a method of maintaining the same frequency after making magic power frequencies resonate, which was later introduced into the adventure world to distinguish friend from foe on the chaotic battlefield.
Li Ang spread his hands. Zoe, following his explanation, placed her palm in his. Because she couldn't manipulate magic power from a distance like people in the Transcendent Realm, she needed contact to resonate.
Li Ang's magic power wrapped around his palm, and the magic power Zoe gathered in her palm blended with each other, then separated again, returning to their respective places.
"It feels... warm, as if Li Ang has become more intimate..."
"Mm, this feeling is the completion of resonance."
Now, the skill effects of the Water Flow Formation were all activated.
There was a piece of equipment with a slight flaw that required 7 units to activate. Since the two wore eight pieces of armor, plus a Dragon Tooth standard sword, it was still activated.
Like this, both of them used Rank 2 equipment as a base, mixed with a small amount of Rank 3 equipment. As long as it wasn't a material or energy attack shaped by the magic power of the Transcendent Realm, they could effectively defend against ordinary external strikes.
This day passed very quickly. By the time they took off the equipment and put it away, the sun had already set.
"Let's eat. Breakfast and lunch were just makeshift with melons and fruits. To have more spirit tomorrow, let's eat this."
Li Ang took out a clean, huge wyvern egg from his bag, which immediately attracted Zoe.
A wyvern egg was a delicacy, or rather, dragon-type creatures were all like this.
It was just that the more powerful the dragon type, the easier it was for impurities that were difficult to handle to exist in the egg, so everyone still favored wyvern eggs, which were easy to get.
Zoe's house originally had kitchenware, but she only knew how to use the simplest boiling pot. The others had accumulated a thick layer of dirt over the years, and the seasonings were either long gone or spoiled. Li Ang couldn't borrow the kitchen.
The two cleared a flat piece of ground in the yard, started a bonfire, opened a hole at the top of the egg, and boiled it directly on the fire. The eggshell was the best pot.
Zoe squatted by the fire, hugging her knees, watching the egg mouth boil with full attention.
When she made such a posture, she appeared even more miniature.
"I really miss it," Li Ang sighed: "When I ate a wyvern egg for the first time, I was in a desert, and I didn't have any conditions, so I did it this way too."
"Will it be delicious like this?" the young girl asked.
"You don't understand this. Do you know why high-grade ingredients are called high-grade ingredients? That's because simple cooking can also make a delicious taste."
"Really?"
Zoe's throat moved slightly. She glanced at Li Ang quickly, and feeling he hadn't noticed, she felt slightly relieved, while her eyes looking at the roasted egg became even brighter, though it was hard to say if it was the reflection of the fire or the excitement of her mood.
Unfortunately, this scene was taken in by Li Ang.
In the face of rich experience, how could a small concealment be effective?
"Actually, it's still a little bit off, because there's no seasoning. Although the original flavor is good, if there's no seasoning at all, it's still a bit bland."
"Oh, I see."
The light in the young girl's eyes dimmed a lot.
"But I have prepared."
Li Ang took out a white crystal, slightly blue in the middle.
He thought of this at noon, so he collected rock salt when he saw it at the mining point. Among the rich mineral resources of the sky islands, they weren't rare. Here, eating a small amount was no problem.
The light in Zoe's eyes returned.
Very interesting.
Due to the toughness of the dragon bloodline, the dragon egg wouldn't become solid or mushy like an ordinary egg; instead, it became a liquid similar to a soft-boiled center.
Sprinkling a little rock salt, Li Ang served himself a sufficient amount and left the rest for Zoe to taste.
Scooping it into his mouth with a spoon, he breathed out a long breath.
Finally, he had eaten something decent these days.
This silky texture, like cheese and milk, with a hint of salty fragrance—even though he had often eaten delicacies from mountains and seas before, Li Ang couldn't find any fault.
His gaze swept toward Zoe. Sure enough, after taking a careful sip, the young girl was directly stunned, followed by two lines of tears.
"So, so there actually exists such delicious food?"
"In various airspaces, there are many things you can't imagine."
"Ah-woo, ah-woo, I, seem to, ah-woo, know why you guys, ah-woo, like adventuring."
The young girl said while scooping the dragon egg into her mouth.
However, after saying this, she didn't mention adventure-related matters again.
Dinner time turned into silence. The two finished the dragon egg. Li Ang saw Zoe leaning against the chair in a "Ge You slouch," and she was also covering her slightly bulging little belly.
Noticing his gaze, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she sat up, a bit afraid to look at him.
After a while, the young girl spoke.
"Last night, I actually fell asleep very late." ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
