Chapter 423 Assembling the Armor

Meizhou Continent.

Chen Luo had instructed them to more than double the treatment for freelancers.

Two pounds of staple food every day, plus a little vegetable, and half a pound of meat every week.

The half-pound of meat was divided into two servings, so they could have a large slice of meat every three days.

At this time, the survivors of the Dragon Kingdom lined up, eagerly looking at the large iron bucket in front, which emitted an enticing aroma of meat.

"Meat, so fragrant."

"If I could eat this once a day, I'd be satisfied even if I died."

"By the way, where did Chen Luo get so much meat? Did he find a way to raise livestock?"

"Why do you care so much? Just be happy you have something to eat. Do you dare run up to him and ask where he got it?"

The aroma of the meat spread far and wide. Whenever Chen Luo served food, some local natives would watch from a distance with longing eyes.

Some natives had a cooperative relationship with Dawn City, but they didn't receive the same treatment as the Dragon Kingdom survivors.

The Dragon Kingdom survivors were like having a basic salary; even if you couldn't find good things, they would still give you survival supplies.

As for the natives, I'll only give you food if you find good things and hand them over.

There's strength in numbers, after all.

The natives were in tears. Why wasn't I born a Dragon Kingdom citizen?

Some cooperative natives watched from around the perimeter. Dawn City didn't drive them away; if you want to watch, then watch.

A native in ragged clothes swallowed hard, watching others eat large slices of meat.

His name was John.

John's stomach rumbled loudly.

"I can't take it anymore, it's too fragrant. I want to eat meat too, and bread!"

John had seen companions hand over level-nine crystals and exchange them for two hundred pounds of flour.

But he didn't have that kind of luck.

He did have a treasure, but he thought it was a divine artifact. It was too stupid to exchange a divine artifact for supplies.

At first, he was unwilling to exchange it, but now he was wavering.

Keeping that "divine artifact" was useless; it could only protect his lower body. It was useless if someone attacked his head or upper body.

Even though it could protect his legs, he didn't dare take it out, or it would be snatched away. Dawn City seemed to be looking for a pair of pants too.

John sighed. "I want to eat meat."

He gritted his teeth and rushed forward, saying in broken Dragon Kingdom language, "I have treasure."

Xu Qing was patrolling when he heard this. He didn't step forward; naturally, his subordinates went forward to ask.

A member who could speak the native language stepped forward and asked, "What treasure?"

John said, "A pair of metal pants, purple, that can grow and shrink, very magical."

The member's pupils shrank. Wasn't this exactly what the leader had described?

He immediately reported it to Xu Qing, who was also extremely excited.

Had they finally found the pants that the boss needed after searching for so long?

John didn't have it with him. He asked Xu Qing to escort him home, otherwise he might be robbed on the way back.

Xu Qing was afraid it was a trick, so he took three hundred members with him.

The pants were at John's residence, a farm.

In front of Xu Qing, John dug three meters deep before digging out the bottom piece of armor.

Xu Qing was speechless. Really, if John hadn't said it himself, there was no way anyone would have found it.

No wonder they hadn't found it after searching for so long.

Xu Qing jumped down and took the bottom piece of armor.

Purple, metal, lower body armor, it felt cold to the touch.

This lower body armor was clearly a size larger than Xu Qing. Xu Qing tried to put his foot in it.

Magically, the lower body armor began to automatically adjust to Xu Qing's body shape.

The members on the side watched with wide eyes. There were actually such magical pants in the world.

John shrugged. He had already tried it.

These pants weren't like the Holy Sword, which could allow John to unleash powerful attacks. John's talent was far from as strong as Arthur's; he was only level four.

He couldn't bring out the full value of the pants at all.

After trying it on, Xu Qing immediately contacted Yuri and asked Yuri to tell Chen Luo.

A little over a minute later, Chen Luo arrived immediately.

He arrived instantly, but it took him a little time to find the location Xu Qing had mentioned.

Seeing Chen Luo, Xu Qing quickly handed the lower body armor to Chen Luo.

Chen Luo smiled and said, "Well done."

John shouted, "Meat, meat."

Xu Qing smiled and pulled John away, so as not to disturb Chen Luo.

Chen Luo hadn't expected to find the lower body armor. The supplies had played a huge role.

Without supplies, what good was it if you were strong but people ignored you?

Supplies weren't omnipotent, but without supplies, nothing was possible.

Chen Luo stroked the lower body armor. From the first moment he saw it, Chen Luo felt that this was the long-sought-after lost lower body armor.

As long as there wasn't a belt or something, the set would be complete.

Each part had its own function. Besides defense, what other functions did this lower body armor have?

Chen Luo looked closely. From the outside, there was no difference. There was a faint horizontal line at the knee.

Chen Luo then scanned the inside of the lower body armor.

Chen Luo narrowed his eyes. There were some patterns inside the lower body armor, forming a design.

He couldn't understand it at all.

Chen Luo put it on, but didn't feel any amplification.

What was the horizontal line on the knee, and what was its function?

Chen Luo tried kicking, applying force to the knee.

He thought there would be some amazing shockwave, but nothing happened. Chen Luo had overthought it.

Chen Luo scratched his head. Could it be that the lower body armor only had a defensive function?

There definitely was another function, otherwise, were the patterns inside the lower body armor just for show?

Forget it, he'd slowly figure it out when he got back.

Returning to Xu Qing, John was eating meat heartily, with plenty to go around.

John gave a thumbs up and praised, "Dragon Kingdom people, trustworthy."

Smiling gently, Chen Luo turned and called Xu Qing into the house, taking out a fruit for Xu Qing.

"Eat this fruit little by little, it's best to eat it in slices, otherwise you won't be able to handle it. After eating it, it can promote you to the King level."

Xu Qing had performed well, indirectly finding the lower body armor, and he would have him promoted sooner or later anyway, so he might as well give it to him now.

Xu Qing was dumbfounded. What kind of fruit was this that could promote him to the King level?

But if the boss said it could, then it definitely could.

Once I reach the King level, I'll go find Shu Yun.

She's ice, I'm fire, wouldn't that be a perfect match?

Everyone else was still at level ten.

Now that the lower body armor had been found, there was no need to look for it anymore. In the future, the focus would be on high-level zombies.

Chen Luo returned to the base after having Yuri notify everyone that the lower body armor had been found.

He brought over all the parts of the armor, and a complete set of armor was assembled.

The hole on the top of the helmet had also been patched up by Long Yu. Of course, the defense couldn't compare, which was currently the only flaw in the armor.

But it wasn't visible.

This was truly a complete set now. There wouldn't be any adverse reactions to wearing it, right?

Mi Fan replied, "No, by the way, find a way to get Mi Li to advance to the Emperor level. I feel like it's very important."

Chen Luo nodded. Since Mi Fan said so, I'll definitely listen. Besides, she's my wife.

Is it very important?

Wearing the entire set of armor, Chen Luo felt truly invincible.

Even among Emperors, he was absolutely invincible, with no weaknesses.

When the seafood reaches the King level, he'd have Hai Ji wear this set of armor and play the role of the great demon.

At that time, he would "lose all his divine power."

Those who had the courage to protect the Sea King would be allowed to stay.
