Chapter 48 You're Asking Too Much

"Do you want to try this defensive type?" Florenzo said, pointing to another one.

Li Hao nodded and used the defensive type Tianwu, specifically choosing a non-attribute one. Soul power surged into it. The focus of the defensive type Tianwu was different, definitely a bit more solid. But during the conversion of soul power wavebands, the energy crystal still couldn't hold up. The result was the same, even louder than before, like setting off firecrackers for the New Year.

This directly stumped Florenzo. How could this be? He was a Tianwu master, and he had already bragged so much. If he couldn't beat Hausen because he didn't have a suitable Tianwu, who would be responsible for the blame?

If Li Hao's strength was not good enough, it would be fine, but he could fight multiple Orc masters in a row, which already possessed the basic strength to challenge Hausen. Fighting Hausen was inseparable from an excellent Tianwu. If the fire attribute repelled multiple soul fluctuations, then a non-attribute defensive Tianwu should be fine, but it still exploded.

Li Hao looked at Florenzo, a smirk on the corner of his mouth, and frowned. "Master, could it be my problem?"

The word "master" made Florenzo's old face blush. "It shouldn't be. Humans are similar to us, and even Orcs can do it. There's no reason why you can't. Could it be that you're special?"

It didn't make sense. The soul intensity was at most the level of Zhou Lan. Even if it was stronger, the Tianwu couldn't possibly not withstand it.

"Why don't we forget it? I'll just go like this. If it really doesn't work, I'll ask to fight Hausen without using Tianwu, so I won't bother you." Li Hao spread his hands helplessly.

Florenzo got riled up when he heard this. Researchers were all similar. "That's definitely not possible. That kid Hausen is as cunning as a monkey. I'll tailor-make one for you. Your situation is very valuable for research!" As if afraid that Li Hao wouldn't cooperate, he added, "This will also be very helpful for the future design of human armor."

Florenzo wanted to prove his strength as a master. It had been a long time since he had taken action, but this matter was worth it.

Li Hao was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately followed Florenzo excitedly. This process was to understand the manufacturing process of this top-notch customized Tianwu. At the same time, he also wanted to use his own handy weapon.

Li Hao followed Florenzo into the core area of the research institute and began testing. If he wanted a custom-made Tianwu, he needed to fully understand Li Hao's soul state, then select the best materials and install an energy engine system based on his soul intensity. Of course, there was an upper limit to this. The strongest system currently was the ninth-generation energy system. Finally, there was the weapon form and selection.

A handy weapon was still very important for a Tianwu warrior.

Li Hao let Florenzo toss him around for a whole day, collecting various data. How should he put it? Li Hao gradually realized that he had deliberately broken the Tianwu, and the old man was just going along with it to give himself a comprehensive test. Li Hao didn't hide anything and directly demonstrated the volatility of his soul waveband, which shocked the old man again. He had never encountered this technique before, and he also understood why the Tianwu exploded. This waveband conversion was too smooth, and the energy crystal couldn't react in time. Even dual-attribute conversion couldn't be this fast. Li Hao's soul was extraordinary. Florenzo knew that it was bad to be greedy, but that was for ordinary warriors. Geniuses were not included in this category. Li Hao was unique, and no one knew what he would grow into in the future.

As a soul expert with a broader perspective, he was very optimistic about Li Hao.

Li Hao was also increasing his bargaining chips and increasing his status in the eyes of the Tribunal. Whether it was Shirada wanting to understand him or some other purpose, it didn't matter. Anyway, these superficial strengths were for others to see. This wasn't the Solar System, and being too low-key wouldn't solve the series of problems he was currently facing.

Obviously, Florenzo became much more serious. Regarding the weapon form of the armor, Li Hao explained in detail the structure of the cross wheel and the design of the Blood Moon form. There was a big difference between a knife and a saber. Both could be used, but since he had such an opportunity, Li Hao also wanted to create something handy. Moreover, this meant that his teammates like Musashi would also find the same weapon very easy to use. As long as Florenzo could make it, it could be mass-produced in the future. Li Hao was also planning for the long term. Now, he was taking advantage of the situation. If he made a request later, who knew what kind of conditions the other party would offer.

As for the cross wheel, driving it with the current state of Zhou power would only make it more flexible and sharper. This was to prepare for group battles. A handy weapon would be faster even when mowing wheat.

"If there are no problems with the design, I want a scabbard," Li Hao said. The feel and sense of ritual were still very important.

Florenzo had no objection to this. Many nobles had such habits, and a sense of ritual was very important. However, the scabbard that Li Hao wanted was quite particular. To facilitate Florenzo's understanding, he even took out the construction diagram of the Black Night mech. He had already asked Kevin to prepare it. He came prepared.

Experts understood it at a glance. This form of mech had also appeared before the Tianren civilization, but later, with further improvements in theory and materials during interstellar navigation, even stronger Tianren armaments appeared.

The vision of masters was common. Florenzo could see the other party's intentions and some offensive and defensive details from it, and even understand some of the human civilization's concepts and understanding through this design.

Li Hao really enjoyed using the Black Night Saber and the Cross Wheel of the Kai Leopard. There must be details and forging ergonomics in it, but this wasn't his specialty, so he would leave it to the professionals.

Florenzo slowly savored the taste and told Li Hao to go back first. After a day of tossing around, Li Hao also left contentedly. He was also looking forward to his first exclusive Tianwu.

He was a little hungry and was just about to find a place to eat when the Star Xun rang.

"Li Hao, it's me, do you have time to sit down together?" De Fatanidis said.

"I haven't eaten yet, let's go together," Li Hao said casually.

They were both human. Li Hao was also really envious of Silian's good life. Some people were born not lacking money. Fortunately, he always had such a rich man around him. Last time, he uprooted Melafis. This time... he hoped that he would learn his lesson this time and not target him. Uh, last time it seemed to be Nangong Yuhang's fault.

---

Looking at Li Hao, who was devouring food, De Fatanidis was a little speechless. Was it necessary to be like this? It seemed a bit like he was pretending, but in fact, when the Apocalypse Youth Class first came, this guy was like this, frantically showing off his eating, as if he had caught the "show-off eating" virus. Now he was also a person with status, but he was still like this. Of course, with his personality, he wouldn't comment on others. He waited slowly and patiently for Li Hao to finish eating.

Li Hao, full and satisfied, burped, and his mood suddenly improved. His expression towards De Fatanidis also softened. "What do you want from me?"

De Fatanidis also didn't know whether to laugh or cry, feeling like he came specifically for a meal. "There really is something I want you to help me with."

There was no need to beat around the bush with Li Hao. This person looked simple, but was actually quite cunning.

"Oh?" Li Hao said noncommittally. After all, Silian's help was not easy to provide, whether on the moon or on the Emperor Martial Star.

"Help me humiliate Hausen and make him unable to stay in the Tribunal." De Fatanidis went straight to the point, then waited for Li Hao to make his conditions. For a period of time, he was very annoyed with his previous identity and wanted to completely sever it. Later, he thought it wasn't bad. Having such a relationship on an alien planet would actually make him feel particularly close. He could feel this from Li Hao. Humans were very lonely in the Star Alliance.

Li Hao was noncommittal. "You really think highly of me. Why don't you do it yourself? You don't seem like you're afraid of Hausen."

De Fatanidis smiled slightly. "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I can't defeat him head-on."

Li Hao leaned back in his chair and relaxed. "You want to defeat Hausen, but you can't make enemies. You're mainly worried about creating irreconcilable conflicts with the Yimuge family, which would affect your subsequent plans, right?"

De Fatanidis shrugged, neither admitting nor denying it. It was a negotiation. The bargaining chips depended on who had more needs. He didn't expect Li Hao to have arrived for such a short time, but he had figured things out quite clearly. "What do you want? I can provide you with the best Tianren armaments."

Li Hao looked at De Fatanidis and couldn't help but chuckle. "Are you kidding me? You're afraid of offending Yimuge, so I shouldn't be afraid? I'm a newcomer who wants to have a good time in the Tribunal. Silian, this isn't the attitude of a trade, it's sabotage."

De Fatanidis wasn't angry and smiled slightly. "Don't pretend. I'm not afraid of you coming, so why would I be afraid of him? We're trading. The asking price can be high, and the bargaining price can be low. What do you want? Tell me yourself, just don't be too outrageous."

"I want five Grand Artist-class star destroyers..." Li Hao hadn't finished speaking when he saw De Fatanidis stand up to leave, so he quickly took a big breath. "Of course, I know that's impossible. Five active ring-shaped spaceships, with no reduction in configuration!"

This was the standard interstellar spaceship for Star River Warriors to perform missions. The maneuverability, firepower configuration, and warp engine were all very mature.

De Fatanidis stared at Li Hao. "One. This level of spaceship should be something that even if you have money, you can't buy in the current Solar System."

The arms business had always been the Tianren's main source of income, so piracy and racial conflicts were constant. Only in this way could Tianren sell weapons. Who would they sell them to if there was no war?

"One is useless. You're a noble of the Seventh Art, and I'm a commoner. I'm risking my life on Ozier's territory, fighting Ozier's largest family. Shouldn't I consider the future? If it were you, would you sell your life for one spaceship?" Li Hao said disdainfully. "Maybe humans can't buy it now, but it's only a matter of time. You're not unaware of the situation of humans. It's not as bad as you think."

De Fatanidis was silent. "Five is too many. The entire human race's foreign exchange reserves are not enough. You're a bit whimsical!"
