Start With Contracting Sprites

Chapter 243: Designing the Thunder God Battle Armor (First Update)

Heavenly King Wu: “???”

He had just relaxed and was about to spit out when he suddenly choked. He almost coughed out internal injuries!

“If your bear grows normally, it will reach monarch rank in a few years at most. You want to nurture Butterfly Fairy to monarch rank before that and get the approval of the laws…?”

He really wanted to ask, are you treating monarch ranks like cabbages?

Buy one get one free?

Heavenly King Wu felt that there was a problem with Little Junior’s thinking. He had to correct it!

He thought for a few seconds and decided to give a few examples of “geniuses falling” to sound the alarm for his junior.

So, following his train of thought, he thought about it again and again…

Those geniuses who made themselves disappear into the crowd… seemed, seemed, probably, to begin with, inferior to his junior from the start.

None of those examples were convincing.

Heavenly King Wu continued to think hard.

Right!

He could use himself as an example. That would appear very convincing.

“Back then, I only used three years to nurture Trading Puppet from initial extraordinary to pseudo monarch rank, but it was stuck until I mastered the Heavenly King Domain, before…”

As Heavenly King Wu spoke, his voice gradually became softer.

Because he suddenly realized that it took two years for Trading Puppet to be cultivated from the initial elite level to the initial extraordinary level.

And the Butterfly Fairy cultivated by Little Junior only took… seven to eight months!

How convincing, not!

He could only say, “Without the Heavenly King Domain, it’s a very long process to get a sprite to be recognized by the laws. I know that Butterfly Fairy is your initial sprite and you have the deepest feelings for it, but it doesn’t mean that it has to become your trump card…”

In the face of Senior Wu’s sincere persuasion, Su Hao of course replied with “yes, yes, yes”.

“Senior, don’t worry. I’m really not that kind of person. I promise I won’t delay the development of sprites.”

He paused and added, “But people have to have dreams. What if we succeed? No matter what difficulties we encounter, we need to try our best to complete the most perfect plan.”

Su Hao’s eyes were firm.

As a handsome and ambitious person, he had already thought of the future Heavenly King Domain a few months ago.

Because his sprites had all attributes, so this domain… couldn’t be a domain of attributes.

It would be best if it was the kind of domain that could encompass all sprites.

Su Hao thought about it. The price of losing three strands of hair really made him think of a suitable domain.

“But the direction of the Heavenly King Domain depends on the first sprite to break through to monarch rank. One must be established from the few outstanding characteristics of that sprite.”

For example, attributes were the symbol of a sprite.

It was the easiest to establish, but it didn’t mean that it was weak.

“If the Big Fat Bear is the first monarch rank, thunder and defense are its outstanding characteristics, but the domain I want isn’t very outstanding on the Big Fat Bear. When the time comes, it may not be an option.”

“To be safe, I have to let Butterfly work hard.”

He noticed that Senior Wu didn’t seem to be convinced by his words. He reckoned that he would have to frequently check the progress of the Big Fat Bear’s cultivation in the future.

Then let’s check.

In any case, his goal was to give Butterfly more ingredients.

“By the way,” at this moment, Senior Wu said, “Don’t tell me that you have already told a bunch of people… about Thunder Roaring obtaining the nomological approval?”

Seeing Senior Wu’s worried look, Su Hao was speechless.

He knew that a monarch rank sprite was very likely to attract the attention of Sprite Hunters, Dark Society, and other organizations.

He wasn’t stupid, he hurriedly waved his hands.

“Am I that kind of person!?

“I’m just pretending to be… Cough, I’m just asking for guidance.”

Heavenly King Wu: “???”

…

A few days later, at the Ten-Thousand Wood Manor.

Su Hao saw the fixed armament designer invited by Senior Wu.

It was a man who looked to be in his thirties or forties, with a relatively high hairline, but dressed rather well. It was said that he himself was a fashion designer and also a high-level Sprite Cultivator.

Zhao Sinian.

“Master Zhao.”

“Hey, hey, hey, you can’t call me Master. I’m also a member of the Sprite Cultivation circle. The title of “Master” is too high.”

He said in a Dragon Nation accent.

But he was indeed a top-notch fixed armament designer. This was a relatively unorthodox occupation. It was designed to customize spiritual force solidification weapons for sprites. It was a professional branch extended from Sprite Cultivators.

And Teacher Zhao in front of him was a top figure in the professional circle of Fixed Armament Forces. A Master of Fixed Armament Forces… There was naturally a gap between him and a Sprite Cultivator.

He could call him Master respectfully, but Su Hao estimated that… Teacher Zhao was a little embarrassed to call himself Master in front of Senior Wu, Heavenly King Wu.

Well, it could also be because he… was already a very well-known Sprite Cultivator?

A rising star in the Sprite Cultivation World.

Sigh, outstanding people attract attention everywhere…

“Heavenly King Wu, this is…”

“My Little Junior is also the Sprite Trainer who asked Mr. Zhao to design spiritual force armor this time.”

“Little brother, you’re really a talent. Back then, I also wanted to enroll in Whale Island University, but unfortunately, I missed by a point.”

Su Hao was rendered speechless.

Even though Teacher Zhao didn’t seem to know him, that wasn’t important.

He immediately summoned Big Fat Bear and commanded, “Come, display your Elemental Control and Thunder God’s Shield.”

Sizzle, sizzle…

The ball-shaped “Thunder God Shield” had already been compressed, like a thick armor covering the Big Fat Bear’s body.

It made it look even fatter.

Su Hao automatically skipped the part where Teacher Zhao was shocked, and went to the next segment to measure the data.

It was different from the physical examination he usually did for the Big Fat Bear. When designing fixed armaments, one needed to pay more attention to the sprite’s height, three measurements, hair density, various body sizes, and so on.

To design a solid armor for the sprite.

…

In the blink of an eye, a week passed.

It was still the Ten-Thousand Wood Manor.

The Big Fat Bear’s lifeless eyes were fixed on a rack. Only the cartoon shown on the tablet in front of the rack could bring a slight ripple to its eyes.

“Done, let’s go,” Zhao Sinian said. “Come, come, come, take a look at my design.”

Su Hao looked at Teacher Zhao’s computer. On it was a three-dimensional armor model. After Mr. Zhao’s mouse zoomed in, he could see nodes everywhere on the armor model.

“This is how I designed it…”

Teacher Zhao began to speak.

Su Hao and the Big Fat Bear, who had just emerged from the rack, listened.

The lecture lasted more than an hour.

Finally…

“Ding-Dong! Intelligence Points+1.”

With a crisp and pleasant prompt, Teacher Zhao picked up the thermos and took a sip of wolfberry water. “I’m done. Is there anything you don’t understand?”

Su Hao didn’t answer.

Instead, he glanced at the interface and saw…

(1) Thunder God Battle Armor Type 1 (unlock with 4 [10] Intelligence Points – Unlocked Basic Introduction)

(2) Thunder God Battle Armor Type 2 (Unlock with 18 [25] Intelligence Points)

Two plans.

The first was an unlocked option that appeared after he learned books such as “Spiritual Force Solidification: From… to…”.

At that time, he needed 7 Intelligence Points, so he spent 1 to unlock the basic introduction.

The second just appeared.

“What’s the difference between these two plans?”

Without any hesitation, Su Hao immediately made a Ding-Dong sound and unlocked the basic introduction of Thunder God Battle Armor Type 2.

Some information flowed into his mind.

A Big Fat Bear wearing battle armor appeared in his mind.

He made a comparison. The battle armor looked a bit more gorgeous than Mr. Zhao’s design. Its inner core was more in tune with the Big Fat Bear. The defense, strength, and solidification methods of the battle armor should have been optimized.

In comparison, Type I battle armor was just a lump of metal.

Just like the difference between iron and gold equipment—it was obvious at a glance that the prices were different.

“There’s a reason why it’s expensive. This sacrifice has to be made.”

17 Intelligence Points were deducted, and a large amount of information flowed into his mind.

Su Hao used a few seconds to receive it, and then dozens of seconds to absorb and digest it.

At this point, seeing Su Hao’s contemplative look, Zhao Sinian was puzzled.

Was he being too profound?

“Little brother…”

Just as he opened his mouth, he saw the shadow of an armor seemingly reflected in Su Hao’s eyes, emitting a dazzling light.
