In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 302 The Old Sword Armor! The Laboratory Leader!
Su Yuan finally understood that no matter how hard he tried to increase his favorability with the fickle Xuanji Sword, it would be useless.

You have to love fiercely!

She must love him so much that she fears him at the sight of him, and trembles at the thought of the consequences of her resistance, so that he can be completely at her beck and call.

If there were a fear panel that corresponds to the favorability rating, then as long as the fear rating is raised high enough, it can achieve the same effect as the favorability rating.

After a friendly exchange with the Xuanqi Sword Spirit, relying on his innate ability to love, thirty minutes had passed since Su Yuan was hung on the pyre.

As another spark of inspiration entered Wei Yuxiu's Niwan Palace, he hurriedly rubbed his head and said:

"Su Yuan, stop burning! I've already gained enough inspiration from this sacrifice. Any more and my sea of ​​consciousness will burst!"

Upon hearing this, the lab assistants immediately began to put out the fire.

Su Yuan walked down from the pyre at a leisurely pace and casually took the outer garment and put it on.

After expressing his gratitude in a firm handshake with Su Yuan, Wei Yuxiu then enthusiastically addressed his assistants:

"Gentlemen, I have just solved all the problems of the Blazing Sun Sword Armor. Now I will design the complete manufacturing blueprints for the sword armor."

"Please help me!"

Everyone in the laboratory agreed and immersed themselves in designing the sword armor blueprints.

In the past, due to the lack of direction, everyone could only proceed step by step, and a complete design blueprint simply did not exist.

If the blueprints can be finalized first, the development of the prototype of the Flaming Sun Sword Armor will be much faster than before, if not smooth sailing.

Su Yuan watched quietly as Wei Yuxiu and the others got into their work, becoming invisible once again.

November 9th, morning.

After working tirelessly for several days and nights, Wei Yuxiu solemnly announced that the complete design of the Flaming Sun Sword Armor was finally finished.

"Brothers, there are only a little over twenty days left until the battle armor design competition. We must make the Flaming Sun Sword Armor as perfect as possible during this time."

Wei Yuxiu, his face flushed, gripped the sword and armor blueprints in his hand as he mobilized the troops.

But before the lab assistants could speak, Su Yuan, who had been largely ignored for a long time, suddenly said:

"Excuse me, may I take a look at these design drawings?"

Wei Yuxiu was slightly taken aback, but still immediately handed the blueprints to Su Yuan:
"Of course, after all, you're a hero in our lab."

Su Yuanchong smiled slightly and opened the design drawings to look through them.

After reviewing the thick stack of design drawings, Su Yuan casually placed them on the table beside him, and then, under Wei Yuxiu's surprised gaze, said indifferently:

"Senior Wei, I think your design is outdated."

"Outdated...outdated? How could that be!"

Wei Yuxiu subconsciously retorted, "This is the culmination of more than a month of hard work, and it has only just been released. How can it be outdated?"

Su Yuan didn't say much, but simply took out a thin stack of design drawings from the Moon-Catching Pearl.

"I have been observing the design direction and details of the Blazing Sun Sword Armor for some time now, and I have found many errors and omissions in it."

"And as the Blazing Sun Sword Armor becomes more and more perfect, more and more loopholes will accumulate until the prototype is completely completed, when all the loopholes and defects will be fully exposed."

"At that time, the amplification effect of the Blazing Sun Sword Armor on the user will reach a maximum of 110%, which can be considered as barely meeting the standard of professional-grade sword armor."

"But the public version of the sword armor has a 100% amplification effect. Everyone has worked so hard to design it, and it only has a 10% amplification. Isn't that a bit unreasonable? How can we win a ranking or even an award in the design competition?"

"Therefore, in order to prevent you from returning empty-handed, I have secretly prepared a new design for the sword armor."

"If you don't mind, you can call it the Blazing Sun Sword Armor 2.0, but I prefer to call it... the Ancient Sword Armor."

After hearing Su Yuan's words, everyone in the laboratory fell silent.

After a while, the lab assistants finally spoke with strange expressions.

"You said you designed a sword armor all by yourself?"

"Stronger than the Blazing Sun Sword Armor?"

"The increase in user benefit exceeds 110%?"

It's no exaggeration to say that every single sentence above was shoving a nerve with many elite weapon-refining experts. To them, such statements were as absurd as a rocket expert hearing someone say that rocket propellant should be washed with water to remove coal.

Even a saintly son of the weapon-refining school like Wei Yuxiu has to use the Divine Body Sacrifice Technique repeatedly, along with other weapon-refining elites, to barely deduce a sword armor design.

Is it possible for you to do in ten days what ten weapon-refining geniuses couldn't do in a month?

Moreover, they shamelessly claimed that a 10% increase was just average.

Please, a 5% increase in the performance of high-precision individual equipment like swords and armor is already quite good, let alone 10%. Why do you look down on it?
No... Su Yuan, did you get brain damage from the fever last time?

Otherwise, how could someone say such outrageous things in public?

Faced with everyone's caring expressions, Su Yuan didn't offer any further explanation. He simply took over the laboratory with the Myriad Soul Banner and displayed the model of the old sword armor using a holographic projection.

A ferocious, domineering, and evil sword armor was presented to everyone in the laboratory.

Each part of this sword armor has a detailed internal and external structure, detailed parameters, and manufacturing method.

Everyone in the lab was completely mesmerized after just one glance.

Everyone, including Wei Yuxiu, was captivated by the aesthetic design and technical sophistication of the sword armor.

After watching for more than an hour, they reluctantly turned their gaze away, accompanied by a soft cough from Su Yuan.

"Gentlemen, according to my estimates, the enhancement of the user by the prototype of the Old Sword Armor can reach at least 130%."

"If the compatibility with the sword armor is high enough, a 150% increase is possible."

"With such results, winning the gold medal would be a sure thing if we competed under the name of the laboratory."

Su Yuan remained calm:

“I will not keep this credit to myself. As long as you all agree, you will all have the opportunity to sign your names on the sword and armor design drawings.”

"And Senior Wei can be the co-first author of the Old Days Sword Armor, since this sword armor was developed based on the Flaming Sun Sword Armor."

These words immediately captivated everyone in the laboratory.

The competition in this design competition was fierce. Not to mention the Xuan Yi Tian Zong, which was the strongest in weapon crafting, even the weapon crafting departments of the other eight immortal sects were strong competitors.

Although Wei Yuxiu is the strongest student in the second year of the weapon crafting department, if all the weapon crafting geniuses of the ten immortal sects were ranked together, Wei Yuxiu would barely squeeze into the top ten at most.

The weapon crafting department of the Guangxuanyi Tianzong sect will dominate the top five.

Under such intense competition, the Blazing Sun Sword Armor could at best make it into the top ten.

In comparison, being able to sign their name on the design of an old sword and armor set that was considered top-tier would obviously be a bigger plus for their resumes.

For a moment, everyone looked at Wei Yuxiu, waiting for his opinion.

Wei Yuxiu's expression at this moment was quite complicated.

Because he saw many traces of the Flaming Sun Sword Armor on the old sword armor.

This indicates that Su Yuan actually created this design drawing after joining the laboratory.

Ten days! In just ten short days, Su Yuan accomplished the feat of surpassing his master. Is this guy really not the illegitimate son of some grandmaster in the weapon-refining world?
However, precisely because Su Yuan was so talented, Wei Yuxiu couldn't even feel jealous.

On the contrary, what he most urgently wants to do now is to ask Su Yuan for advice on various technical issues related to the sword armor.

Therefore, after a brief silence, he said with a solemn expression:

"From now on, Su Yuan, you will be the actual person in charge of this laboratory. I will be your deputy and do my best to assist you in forging the ancient sword armor."

Su Yuan's lips curled slightly.

After ten days of hard work, I finally became the leader of the strongest weapon-refining laboratory in my second year.

Once the old sword armor is submitted to the design competition organizers, the twenty hidden points can be easily obtained.

Speaking of which, as the first author of the Old Sword Armor, should I bring it with me to the next joint monthly exam for the Demon Extermination faction?

After all, the rules for monthly exams have always allowed participants to bring their own work.

The same applies to human pills, mountains of corpses and seas of blood; naturally, the magical weapons, swords, and armor forged from them will also be subject to the same conditions.
