Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

Chapter 30 Negotiation
"Alright, alright." Meizhen was secretly pleased and quickly tried to smooth things over. "Calm down, calm down, drink some Coke, everyone, drink some iced Coke."

Meizhen brought out a few glasses of iced cola, and the atmosphere became less tense.

After taking a few sips, Meizhen spoke carefully.

"Chen Hong, let's talk business."

"Sure." Chen Hong readily agreed.

"Meizhen, I know you want to recruit me into your team and want me to hand over the Earth Shadow Stone, right?"

"Yes." Meizhen nodded.

"So, what can you give?"

Chen Hong raised his own questions.

"You bastard!" Bei Miao couldn't hold it in any longer. "It's already a great honor for you to have someone like you join the team. What else do you want?"

"Beimiao!"

No matter how good-tempered Meizhen was, she couldn't help but scold.

"Mei Zhen!"

"Didn't you hear what he said?"

"Becoming an Armor Hero, protecting the citizens, attracting everyone's attention, becoming a hero in everyone's eyes, and he actually wants something in return?"

Bei Miao spoke loudly, "Can such a person fulfill the responsibilities and mission of an Armor Warrior?"

Meizhen has a bit of a headache, so she'll try to calm down.

"Chen Hong, don't mind it. Bei Miao is just like that. He's straightforward."

"But Bei Miao's words do make sense. Being an Armor Warrior is a sacred and glorious mission."

Chen Hong just smiled and said nothing, staring at Meizhen indifferently.

We are all adults. Do you think you can get something for free from me by using the excuse of a sacred mission?

Even if Naruto came, it would be useless.

Even if you make a cloth flag and add a piece of paper, it will only cost you another two hundred dollars at most.

I won't let you get away with it for free either.

When I was working 996 hours a day and moving bricks at the construction site, what kind of suffering had I not experienced?

Still want to fool me?

Seeing Chen Hong staring at her with a half-smile on his face, Mei felt a little numb.

"Cough cough..."

Coughed twice awkwardly.

"Well, I know, the conditions are a bit harsh."

Chen Hong rolled his eyes. Is that a question with harsh conditions?

The problem is that she doesn't have the conditions at all.

"Ahem, let's do this."

"You joined the Armor Team and placed the Earth Shadow Stone in the satellite to make it easier for you to summon the armor, not to steal your Earth Shadow Stone."

Chen Hong just smiled and said nothing.

Meizhen observed the other person's expression and put forward her own conditions.

"Members of the Armored Squad are considered temporary workers. I will pay you a monthly salary, and I can apply for additional subsidies from higher authorities.

I am confident that your salary will eventually reach this figure."

Meizhen raised her hand.

"Five hundred thousand?" Chen Hong tilted his head.

"Cough cough." Meizhen coughed twice due to choking and smiled awkwardly.

"Fifty...fifty thousand."

Chen Hong stopped talking.

Damn, you want me to risk my life for just 50,000?

Even the security guards wouldn't be that stupid.

Dongshan and Beimiao's expressions also became unnatural.

Meizhen saw that the situation was not good and hurried to remedy the situation.

"Well, there's more to it than that. When you retire from being an Armor Warrior, you can become a regular employee and have a stable job."

Chen Hong's expression eased slightly, but he still felt nothing and waved his hand.

"Okay, Meizhen, I won't argue with you about these trivial things. I'll tell you the truth."

"Please speak." Meizhen was helpless.

"I want ERP's [Virtual Battle Room Technology] and [Satellite Transmission Technology]."

"Impossible!" Meizhen shook her head excitedly, "This is top secret technology, there's no way it can be leaked."

"Listen to my conditions first."

Chen Hong took out three belts from his backpack.

A tiger belt. A cat belt.

A blank belt.

Chen Hong took out the tiger belt in front of the shocked gazes of Meizhen and others.

"Earth Tiger Armor, combined!"

"This...this is..."

Meizhen touched Chen Hong's armor in shock.

"Is this the Earth Tiger Armor from the Light and Shadow Armor?"

"No, it's a replica."

Chen Hong's answer shocked Meizhen even more.

"Imitation...imitation?"

Even Bei Miao couldn't sit still and couldn't help but stand up and take a closer look at the armor on Chen Hong.

"You mean, you copied the Earth Tiger Armor and succeeded?"

Meizhen widened her eyes and looked at Chen Hong's goggles in shock.

"That's right." Chen Hong's voice had a mechanical tone.

The pattern on the armor is slightly different from the genuine Earth Tiger Armor, and it is also engraved with Chen Hong’s company logo, which can be used as an identifying mark.

"So, how does the performance of this imitation Earth Tiger Armor compare to the original?"

The tech geek Dong Shan asked with concern.

"The performance is naturally not as good as the original."

Bei Miao breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, I thought I, Bei Miao, was going to be unemployed and laid off.

"How good is the performance of your imitation Earth Tiger Armor compared to the original one, and how are its functions?" Meizhen asked with concern.

"It's about 60% of the power of my current Earth Tiger Armor, and about the same power as Li Xinnan's Flame Dragon Armor.

In terms of functionality, it's about 60% complete, and basically has all the functions."

"Huh?" Dong Shan was confused. "Why is your Earth Tiger Armor only 60% as powerful as Xinnan's Flame Dragon Armor?"

"Could it be that the Earth Tiger Armor is stronger than the Flame Dragon Armor?"

Chen Hong shook his head. "No, your understanding of armor is wrong."

"I'd like to hear the details." Bei Miao also became seriously concerned.

"The five sets of armor that exist between heaven and earth are heavenly armors bestowed by the heavens themselves. They belong to the five elements. Although they have different focuses, in theory there is no distinction between superior and inferior."

"There's no upper limit to the armor's power, or rather, its upper limit is very high."

"The stronger the armor summoner, the greater the power it unleashes."

"But the artificial armor I forged is different. Its power is fixed."

“But the good thing is the floor is very high.”

"My replica of the Earth Tiger Armor is based on the state of the original Earth Tiger Armor I currently summoned. It only has 60% of its power."

"But Xinnan is still relatively young, and the Fire Dragon Armor he summoned isn't very powerful, so it's about the same as this 60% powerful replica of the Earth Tiger Armor."

"Just find a skilled fighter who has practiced martial arts and puts on this replica of my Earth Tiger Armor. His strength will be almost the same as that of Xinnan now. There is no bloodline requirement either."

"Of course, Xinnan will grow. As he becomes stronger, the power of the Flame Dragon Armor will become stronger."

"However, the power of my replica of the Earth Tiger Armor remains fixed forever."

"So, you understand, don't you?"

Meizhen and others suddenly realized and understood.

"So, you're very powerful, so even if it's a replica, its power can be comparable to Li Xinnan's current power?"

Bei Miao seemed to have discovered the key point and stared at Chen Hong eager to try.

"Beimiao!" Meizhen stopped Beimiao with her eyes.

Bei Miao had to suppress his sea bull heart temporarily.

Meizhen randomly turned around and looked at Chen Hong.

"Chen Hong, how many pairs of this Earth Tiger Armor replica can you make?"

Chen Hong smiled, finally taking the bait.

"This kind of armor is high-end and requires delicate work. It currently takes me three months to refine a pair."

This is a lie!

In fact, it is no problem for Chen Hong to refine one set a day, but he will feel mentally exhausted and a little tired.

And this imitation is actually a weakened version.

The power is only 60% of the original, so you don't have to worry about it being used against you when you sell it.
