Free Web NovelChapter 796: Chapter 386: She’s a Lot Like You
The final armor was full of hollows and carvings, with water patterns engraved on the armor plates in the forms of splash, flow, and echo, giving an astonishing visual impact at first glance due to its complex beauty.
Of course, the visual shock was meant for laymen; for a Sky Knight, the most enticing aspect is still the performance of the equipment.
This set of equipment is similar to what Li Ang crafted before, consisting of six parts: [Clear Spring Sacrificial Ring], [Lake Spirit Corset Armor], [Daffodil Skirt Armor], [Purifying Cloak], [Water Boots], [Ceremonial Arm Armor].
[Lake Spirit Corset Armor]
[In the story, the Lake Fairy who gifts treasures to heroes wears beautiful, figure-hugging light armor crafted beyond human skill. Water flows on it, confirming her fairy identity]
[Tier: 7]
[Category: Chest Armor]
[Equipment Skills: Water Storage, Great River Array [Vortex]]
[Set Combination: 1/6 [Water Fairy Decorations]]
[Set Effect: Lake Fairy Water Illusion Body]
"The whole set is called Water Fairy Decorations, and each part, besides amplifying magic power to guide the Water Element, can also store power, which perfectly suits your current physical underdevelopment and lack of stamina issues... uh, are you listening?"
Li Ang was introducing his creation to Meimei, but found her standing in front of the armor, slightly dazed.
"Ah, I heard, sorry."
The girl uncommonly apologized obediently.
"It’s nothing, just explaining the equipment’s performance to you, specifically, you need to experience it yourself. This equipment also has set skills and integrates with equipment transformation ability, try it yourself and you’ll see."
"Equipment transformation?" Meimei asked in surprise: "Is transformation needed even when there’s pure magic power? Isn’t it liberation?"
There’s a qualitative difference between equipment transformation and liberation.
At the Transcendent Tier, magic power at this level can only manipulate matter, reflected in the equipment by achieving unexpected effects or enhancing capabilities by changing forms to gain an advantage in battle.
Upon entering the Excellence Realm, ordinary transformation becomes meaningless in the face of Pure Magic Material, hence most Tier Seven Equipment only pursue the solidification of pure magic power.
Reaching the Eighth Tier, magic power becomes strong enough to easily control Pure Magic Material, and powerful artisans attempt to endow the equipment with "liberation" ability, creating large amounts of pure Magic Material through its mighty spirit, reaching transformative capabilities.
Because of this, many Sky Knights form the somewhat skewed stereotype of "only extraordinary equipment needs transformation, exquisite equipment doesn’t need transformation, equipment with liberation ability is unachievable," and Meimei is no exception.
"If better effects can be gained through transformation, it can still be included, I’m not that rigid."
Li Ang pointed at the magic-filled parts on the Water Fairy Armor: "They can respond to each other, providing you with a water illusion body like an outer armor."
Meimei, having never used good equipment, was left bewildered.
Li Ang did not expect her to be less thrilled.
"Alright, I’m going to sleep now, got to tell you, taking the equipment comes with corresponding obligations too."
"Ob-Obligations?!"
Meimei blushed and jumped up: "You finally exposed yourself! Don’t expect me to act as your relief tool like those shameless group members of yours!"
Yet her peripheral vision never left the Water Fairy Decorations, Li Ang understood that feeling, regardless of obstacles or inconvenience, good equipment is always desired.
"But, but you crafted the equipment with care, I know it’s something beyond the reach of ordinary people through usual means, so at most you allow you..."
The final words became smaller and smaller, faint as a mosquito’s buzz, Li Ang couldn’t hear clearly, but saw her arms crossed, deeply entangled in thought.
Her brain seemed to trace a series of logical thoughts like "Equipment can’t be taken for free, so what to do," leaving minimal cost as the only option.
"No, what made you think that, I’m saying you’re already considered a member of the Star Flower Travel Corps, gotta lend a hand when needed, like tomorrow’s exploration."
"Certainly! The world’s Savior hasn’t grown up yet, I naturally need to contribute!" Meimei snapped back, her whole face flushed, shouting.
"Then settled." Li Ang sighed.
Meimei breathed a sigh of relief, then heard him say: "What relief tool, where did you hear such things?"
"Your Meluna! How would I know where she learned it from?!"
Ugh, Li Ang felt guilty, it was during an intense moment in a relationship where anything could slip out, unexpectedly she heard and remembered it.
Seeing Meimei’s anxious look, clearly counting as the same person, yet because of vastly different experiences, Li Ang found it amusing and intentionally teased her: "Isn’t that basically what you said yourself."
"How is that the same?!"
The girl was always sensitive about who she is with Meluna, now blushing and trembling with shame and anger as if detonated.
"You must be laughing at me inside, laughing at how without someone else’s care I’d turn into a useless version like Meluna! Ah, I really wish you’d encounter another you to see if you can accept it smoothly, you..."
Meimei babbled on.
"Speaking of which, haven’t seen her these days? Did you lock her up or something? Better not release her, just keep her locked away as a toy until she dies, to avoid her causing me trouble..."
"No," Li Ang strongly denied the notion of locking Meluna up.
