"Hmm?"
The crowd was slightly taken aback, falling silent. No one retorted further.
A Liang nodded, "Let's go with this name!"
Soon, the Southern Jiang Bandits had everyone's support…
Their group was, in essence, centered around Chen Shu, so this name was rather fitting.
Moreover, they wanted the world to know that
Chen Shu had fallen, but the Southern Jiang Bandits were still here…
For a moment, as they looked at the bubbling hot pot before them, everyone thought of their departed comrade, and fell silent.
At this moment, they truly understood the meaning of 'With chrysanthemums blooming everywhere, one person is missing'…
After a long pause, Fang Si regained his composure and spoke encouragingly:
"Alright! We still have a long way to go!"
"Besides us, Wang Sheng and Ji Feng will likely break through as well. We must acquire enough resources!"
"Once they break through, the overall strength of our Southern Jiang Bandits will also increase."
The others snapped out of their memories, their hearts instantly filled with renewed passion.
Their path was indeed still very long…
The Southern Jiang Bandits, at present, were merely a nascent entity…
However, they wouldn't know
how much torment the Southern Jiang Bandits, founded today, would later inflict upon the ferocious beasts…
And just as they were discussing their next plan,
Xing Ling suddenly appeared and whispered something into Xiao Xing's ear.
Xiao Xing, who had been calm, was suddenly filled with extreme excitement, his entire body seeming to tremble.
"You guys eat first, I have something to attend to!"
Xiao Xing, his expression agitated, instantly summoned the Thunder Bird, disappearing into the sky like a bolt of lightning…
Its speed was in no way inferior to teleportation!
"What's wrong?" Da Feng Novel Network
The crowd was slightly stunned and turned their gaze to Xing Ling.
This guy probably wasn't this excited even when he broke through to Legendary…
Xing Ling said calmly,
"His research project has made a breakthrough."
"Project? What project?"
"The psychiatric patient uniform project, didn't you know?"
"…"
The crowd blinked in surprise, then suddenly remembered.
During peacetime, Xiao Xing had even taken them on a tour of the Southern Jiang City psychiatric hospital, which was where their uniforms were produced.
Back then, Xiao Xing had indeed invested a large amount of capital into research, and the project supervisor seemed to be a talent from the official Miracle Laboratory…
However, because too much time had passed, they had all forgotten about it.
Now it seemed, had the other party persisted all along?
"No wonder he's so excited…"
Fang Si shook his head, finding it perfectly reasonable…
Only the patient uniforms could make Xiao Xing so frantic…
"Shall we go take a look too?"
A Liang raised an eyebrow, showing a flicker of interest.
While they weren't as passionate about it, they were quite impressed by the patient uniforms.
"Good!"
Everyone nodded and left the place in unison.
Xiao Xing's research laboratory was not far from their current location. It was built with Chen Shu's help back then.
Although its scale wasn't large, it housed the world's most advanced equipment and talent…
Due to the peculiar nature of the current era, technological weapons had become largely useless.
After all, using technological weapons against Legendary creatures was akin to wishful thinking.
With the decline of technology, the personnel from the official Miracle Laboratory naturally became idle, and many joined Xiao Xing's research,
which finally led to a breakthrough in his project…
"An ancient ruin can have a place so full of technological feel?"
The crowd looked around, their hearts filled with amazement.
At this moment,
Xiao Xing was conversing with Guang Ye, the supervisor in charge of the project.
The two of them looked excited, occasionally trembling.
Those who didn't know might have thought they were discussing their medical conditions…
However, those who did know would probably also think they were discussing their medical conditions…
Fang Si and the others did not disturb them but observed quietly from the side.
After a long while,
Xiao Xing walked over, but he still couldn't hide the excitement on his face.
"How is it?"
Fang Si raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are your patient uniforms about to be unveiled?"
"They are ready."
Xiao Xing shook his head and said, "However, to popularize them, we still need one crucial step!"
"What is it?"
"Resources! I need a large amount of top-tier lightning-element resources!"
Xiao Xing said with fervent excitement,
"As long as it's successful, you can't imagine the revolutionary changes my patient uniforms will bring to humanity!"
Fang Si slowly said, "Could it affect battles at the Legendary level?"
"That it cannot."
"…"
The crowd's mouths twitched. Then what revolutionary changes could it bring…
The key enemies of humanity now were Legendary ferocious beasts!
The rest were just minor pests…
"However, it can completely change the survival status of everyone else!"
"What do you mean?"
"As long as one wears my patient uniforms, the contracted spirit of a Beast Tamer will experience a surge in speed!"
Xiao Xing's eyes gleamed, "Even a Level 1 Beast Tamer can survive in the hands of a King-level beast!"
"However, the only drawback is that during the activation of the patient uniform, the contracted spirit cannot unleash any offensive skills, otherwise it will be interrupted…"
"Hmm?"
The crowd's expressions jolted, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Although the drawback was that it could only be used for escape, it was already incredibly astonishing…
A Level 1 Beast Tamer surviving a King-level attack?!
Are you kidding me?!
"Previously, the main direction of research for patient uniforms was to create shields that could withstand attacks, thereby protecting the safety of Beast Tamers…"
Xiao Xing stroked his chin and said,
"But I feel that this thing is a bit gimmicky. What's the use of thick shields? They still can't withstand too many skills from ferocious beasts."
"According to my consistent idea, high defense is inferior to high speed…"
"…"
The crowd's mouths twitched,
but thinking of his Thunder Bird, they were somewhat resigned…
After all, this guy had been instilled with the philosophy of 'survival first' since childhood.
Even his Thunder Bird, which had advanced to Legendary, still didn't possess any offensive skills…
Of course, except for spitting saliva…
"Now, by studying the energy trajectory of the Thunder Bird, the laboratory has developed the Abnormal Patient Uniform 1.0."
In the patient uniform project, although talent, resources, and the like were extremely important,
the most crucial element was the Thunder Bird.
Even without using any skills, the current Thunder Bird's speed was considered abnormal.
Its uniqueness had accelerated the research on the patient uniforms…
Xiao Xing said confidently,
"As long as a Beast Tamer wears it and uses their beast taming power to guide it, their contracted spirit will possess one percent of my Thunder Bird's speed. I believe anyone can survive among creatures below the Legendary level…"
"The only difficulty now is the need for a large amount of lightning-element resources."
"…"
The crowd fell silent, their hearts already shaken.
The research process for the patient uniforms must have been fraught with difficulties, not as casually described by Xiao Xing, as it had consumed a vast amount of manpower, resources, and time.
However, if it were true,
it could indeed bring about a genuine revolution for humanity!
At the very least, other Beast Tamers wouldn't have to stay in the ruins and could move around the world freely…
Although they couldn't outrun the Beast Emperors,
the Beast Emperors wouldn't be so bored as to search for ordinary Beast Tamers all over the world…
After all, the world was too vast. When humanity emerged, it was like a school of small shrimps in the ocean. Which Beast Emperor would be so bored…
Fang Si swallowed, his expression still one of shock, and murmured,
"We will do our best to help you!"
"Don't worry,"
Xiao Xing nodded and said, "The effect of the patient uniforms will not disappoint everyone!"
"Can it be mass-produced?"
"If the resources are sufficient, then yes!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's raid!"
Instantly, the Southern Jiang Bandits left the ruins, unwilling to waste another second.
The ancient Gu Yu Continent, which had calmed down,
once again ushered in a storm of plundering…
