"Clang, clang, clang..."
Inside Fatty's room, the sound of metal being hammered could be heard.
In the courtyard, apart from Xiao Tuanzi who was on guard outside, everyone else remained indoors.
Fatty was forging equipment, and they were too lazy to watch. As long as it could be refined in the end, that was enough.
Meanwhile, a faint medicinal aroma could be smelled from Zhang Qilin's side.
Bored at home, Zhang Qilin decided to refine some pills to pass the time and relieve fatigue.
Fatty's hammering sounds continued for nearly two weeks.
Finally, one day, the noise gradually faded, and an excited voice echoed from Fatty's room.
"Heavens above, earth below, which fairy sister is helping Fatty vent this anger? I failed so many times, damn it, I finally succeeded once!"
Fatty cheered with great satisfaction.
Looking at the black armor before him, Fatty swallowed his saliva.
There were a total of five suits of armor, and the remaining star iron could be used to forge a few more pieces, but Fatty felt it was unnecessary.
After all, five suits were more than enough.
Moreover, forging equipment consumed an immense amount of energy.
Fatty felt completely drained.
"This is simply divine craftsmanship, breathtaking, the most awesome creation under the heavens. Well, it's perfect, worthy of being made by Fatty."
Fatty looked at his five suits of armor with immense satisfaction.
The armor was custom-made, tailored to the body types, appearances, and builds of the team members.
Therefore, there was no issue of being too big or too small.
The appearance was also incredibly beautiful.
For Zhang Qilin's armor, an iron qilin was exquisitely carved, with the qilin stepping on clouds, resting on the entire shoulder, giving it a truly imposing aura.
Since Fatty did not make helmets, there were only the armor suits.
Zhang Tian's armor featured a blue dragon coiled around the body, forming a winding dragon formation.
Shirley Yang had a Vermilion Bird, Hu Bayi had a White Tiger, and Fatty, naturally, had a Black Tortoise.
Fatty had truly mastered the art of these four divine beasts.
"Right, I should let the boss and the others appreciate, what is art."
Fatty clapped his hands and hurried outside, envisioning Zhang Tian's astonished gaze, which filled Fatty with delight.
This was far more satisfying than imagining it here.
"Bang!"
"Fatty is out of seclusion again!"
Fatty kicked the door open again, first glancing around to ensure no one was present, then shouted.
Following Fatty's shout, Zhang Tian, Zhang Qilin, and Hu Bayi slowly emerged from their rooms.
With Fatty's commotion, anyone not deaf would know he had come out.
He was truly like the Monkey King emerging into the world.
"Fatty, finished forging?"
Zhang Tian asked, glancing at Fatty.
The fellow looked radiant and smug, clearly indicating he had completed his task.
Fatty chuckled.
"Guess."
Zhang Tian: ...
"Watch closely, boss."
Seeing everyone speechless, Fatty could only speak again.
Immediately after, he waved his hand.
"Show yourselves, my little darlings!"
Fatty exclaimed excitedly. The next moment, five heavy suits of star iron armor appeared before everyone.
The reason they were called heavy armor was simple: the armor covered nearly ninety percent of the body's parts.
Moreover, this was also known as full armament.
Zhang Tian looked at the armor on the ground and swallowed.
He had always believed Fatty was capable, but he never expected Fatty to be this capable.
It seemed he had underestimated Fatty.
Every Fatty possessed boundless potential.
"Fatty, you made this!"
Hu Bayi exclaimed in surprise, his eyes wide with shock.
If it were someone else, it would be fine, but the one forging was Fatty.
And he had made five pieces! This was truly astonishing, like his grandmother opening the door for him to be shocked, and he had arrived at the land of astonishment.
Having been brothers with Fatty for so many years, Hu Bayi understood his character better than anyone. He never expected that even Fatty was striving so hard these days.
Zhang Tian was also a little surprised.
After all, this was the first time Fatty had accomplished something substantial.
Apart from Zhang Tian and a few others being surprised, Zhang Qilin maintained his usual indifferent expression.
"Second Brother, you should at least praise me."
"This makes Fatty feel a lack of accomplishment, you know."
Although he had expected it, Fatty was still a little displeased.
"You're amazing."
Zhang Qilin uttered three words.
Upon hearing this, Fatty leaped up.
This was more satisfying than making Zhang Tian and the others astonished.
"Oh my god, Second Brother praised me, this is great, Fatty has also been praised by Second Brother."
"Boss, see? Second Brother is like this, 'hard-faced, soft-mouthed'."
Fatty chuckled.
"Alright Fatty, your vanity has been satisfied, time for distribution."
Zhang Tian rolled his eyes at Fatty. The guy had come out and immediately sought to fulfill his vanity.
He was clearly feeling proud now.
"Oh, right, right, right."
"Boss, this is yours, Old Hu, Second Brother."
Fatty quickly took out the protective gear he had forged for everyone.
The remaining two were for Shirley Yang and Fatty himself.
"Azure Dragon."
Zhang Tian looked at his armor and was momentarily stunned.
He had only mentioned it casually before and hadn't expected Fatty to actually create it.
"When did Fatty's forging become so superb?"
Zhang Tian murmured, the more he looked at the armor, the more he liked it.
The azure dragon coiled around the shoulder, its massive head resting near Zhang Tian's chest, with its mouth agape.
With such armor, unless one had an exceptionally strong destiny, they wouldn't dare to wear it.
Zhang Qilin's armor was more fitting for him, resembling his qilin tattoo, though the armor was also chiseled with scales.
"Boss, what are you spacing out for? Hurry up and try it on."
Fatty urged excitedly.
Zhang Tian gave him a sideways glance and slowly put it on.
The armor was very light, comparable in weight to the Long Knife of the Princess of Loulan.
It was also extremely convenient, with no feeling of being stuck or hindered.
Since Zhang Tian was relatively muscular, he looked like a small giant overall.
He felt incredibly secure.
And when Zhang Qilin put on his armor, instantly, all eyes fell upon him.
His slender build, coupled with the almost perfectly fitting black qilin armor.
Paired with Zhang Qilin's fair complexion and delicate features.
His sword-like eyebrows carried a hint of satisfaction.
His starry eyes twinkled with a certain light.
Seeing this scene, everyone present became excited.
"Holy shit, so imposing."
"This is the first time I've seen Little Ge wearing armor."
"This proportion, combined with that flawless face, would it be even better with a helmet?"
"Zhang Tian is also very handsome, full of manly charm, I can't resist him, and I'm a guy."
"That's only for guys, Little Ge is the best."
"This armor even has abs..."
"This is too well-fitting, and it even has the Four Divine Beasts."
A clamor arose from the scene.
And seeing Zhang Qilin standing majestically in his armor, countless girls were captivated.
At this moment, Zhang Tian clenched his fist.
He felt an immense power enveloping him.
This star iron actually concealed some hidden power within it!
