Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

The gecko used brute force to break down the door and led Zuo Chang into a room.

Unlike the dimly lit corridor, the room's furnishings were clearly visible under the incandescent light.

Zuo Chang saw that there were fifty-six mannequins scattered haphazardly in the room.

These dummies have a triangular device on their chest, a full-coverage tactical mask on their head, and a thin black bodysuit on their body, making them look like motorcycle riders wearing leather jackets and pants.

These are not ordinary clothes, but equipment.

Its quality is quite remarkable, comparable to that of a magical artifact.

The gecko pointed to the bodysuit on the mannequin and said, "Take one!"

Zuo Chang took no action.

The gecko chuckled and said, "Don't know what this is? Commander Eagle said that the bodysuits these dummies are wearing have excellent performance. They're even better than magical artifacts, and they're a great work that incorporates 'lost technology'! Everyone who sees it gets a piece, so take one."

It should be said, indeed.

The bodysuit worn by the dummy is called the "Prototype Element Tactical Suit," and it was made using cutting-edge technology from Sky City.

Its physical defense capabilities are not outstanding; its only unique feature is its resistance to puncture.

The Elemental Suit excels in two aspects:

First: Lightweight.

The elemental suit is a base layer, so it's lightweight and can be worn over armor for double the protection.

Second: Magic resistance.

The Elemental Armor performs exceptionally well against magic, described in the game as "reducing incoming magic damage by 20%".

In the game, Zuo Chang's main followers each have one.

Ultimately, it wasn't actively phased out, but rather its durability was exhausted, making it impossible to replicate, forcing its abandonment.

Zuo Chang hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior Gecko, there are fifty-six items here in total. Is it inappropriate for you to only give me one?"

The gecko glanced at him, its face cold: "Kid, don't act innocent after getting a good deal. Bringing you to this place is, strictly speaking, a violation of the rules! It's only because I'm kind-hearted and can't bear to see you die in vain that I wanted to help you—just one thing, no more."

Really damn it!

For a moment, Zuo Chang thought he might as well just turn against them; the Elemental Suit was truly a wonderful thing.

only--

Regardless of whether they could win or not, the gecko is truly a kind person.

The problem lies with Commander Eagle.

He didn't know his origins, yet he knew the secrets of Sky City. If it weren't for Gecko's kindness, Zuo Chang probably wouldn't have gotten a single thing!

resignedly.

Zuo Chang could only take one item off, and said, "Alright! Thank you, senior."

"Don't mention it. Helping each other is the duty of adventurers. It's just a pity that the world is in such a state, with more bad people than good ones, making everyone feel insecure and making it difficult to uphold morality!"

The gecko sighed as it took the bag off its shoulder.

The bag was empty. Gecko stepped forward and, following the instructions of Commander Eagle, attempted to peel off the battle suit from the dummy.

Sky City boasts astonishing technology.

The battle suits they created were incredibly ingenious. On the surface, they looked like just a piece of clothing, but their storage and wearing methods had a strong science fiction feel to them.

The main body of the tactical suit is the triangular device on the chest of the dummy.

This device has considerable defensive capabilities and can act as a breastplate. To remove the battle armor, one only needs to open the device's safety mechanism and drain the magic power within.

Then, the element-woven tactical garment will retract like a rubber band and be stored inside the triangular device.

"High technology!"

After trying it, the gecko exclaimed in amazement!

Zuo Chang followed the same procedure, removing his tactical suit from the dummy. Then, he placed the triangular device against his skin over his chest and channeled his magic into it.

The elements stored in the device were stimulated by magic and spread along Zuo Chang's skin, fitting snugly against his body!

Zuo Chang shuddered, feeling as if insects were crawling on his body, which made him quite uncomfortable.

He looked down and saw that under his coat, he was wearing a bodysuit that covered even his ten fingers.

Yet, as he stretched, there was not the slightest sense of stagnation or obstruction.

The performance of the "Prototype Element Tactical Suit" is so outstanding that it feels like a second skin, not just clothing!

Zuo Chang dared not even imagine what it would look like on a top-tier Western woman with such a curvaceous figure as Blood Rose!

The gecko saw him put it on and asked, "How does it feel?"

Zuo Chang clenched his fist: "I don't feel anything, it's like I'm not wearing anything at all."

You don't feel anything?

A truly good item is one that feels neither heavy nor uncomfortable to wear; if it gets in your way, then it's not a top-tier piece of equipment!

The gecko said, "There's a button on the back of your neck. Press it once, and it will automatically put on a full-coverage mask; press it again, and it will retract. Sky City truly lives up to its reputation as a lost civilization; even by today's standards, its technological prowess is astounding—"

Boom!

Halfway through his sentence, a footstep interrupted Gecko.

Zuo Chang's face turned cold, and he subconsciously turned around to look at the door: "Senior Gecko, there seems to be footsteps..."

“It wasn’t footsteps, it was someone knocking on the wall, deliberately letting him know they were there. Who could possibly find this place!” Gecko casually tossed his bag aside and strode towards the door. “Come with me, let’s go meet him.”

Things unfolded slightly beyond Zuo Chang's expectations.

He pressed the button behind his neck, concealed his face with a full-coverage mask, and followed the gecko out of the room.

The corridor was dimly lit, with only a few dim wall lamps providing illumination, and the field of vision was extremely limited.

Zuo Chang looked up and discovered that the tactical mask had night vision capabilities. He could clearly see two people standing at the end of the passageway outside the door.

A figure was hidden in the darkness; she was a tall woman with a cultivation level of the third realm.

Another man stood by the lamp, with a buzz cut, wearing a black suit, triangular eyes, and a hooked nose, exuding a fierce look. He was the man in the suit next to Qian Wuyi!

The gecko narrowed its eyes and said, "Isn't this Mr. Ma Wen? Why aren't you with Lord Qian? What are you doing in this instance?"

Marvin chuckled coldly: "General Eagle still recognizes me, his servant? I am truly... flattered."

Chapter 53 Ghostly Back Horse Text

The gecko sensed Marvin's murderous intent.

He felt uneasy, not understanding why the other party had arrived so quickly.

The armory has only one entrance and exit; there's no way to escape!

He silently adjusted his breathing and smiled, "Mr. Ma, what advice do you have for me?"

Marvin is very direct.

He slowly unbuttoned his suit jacket and said directly, "I'd like to learn from your expertise."

The gecko chuckled and said, "Looks like I can't avoid it! Mr. Ma, I have a question—how did you get here so quickly? In my script, our conflict should be later."

"Don't underestimate our intelligence system; we have spies everywhere in Tianwang City."

This is a lie.

If Qian Wuyi had noticed the gecko earlier, there would have been more than just two people here.

Marvin's ability to bite was purely accidental.

He was handling some business at the Adventurers' Guild at the time. After the gecko and centipede identified themselves, a staff member from the guild immediately informed him, which led to the current situation.

Marvin tilted his head slightly and said, "Evil Eye, the other one is yours."

"Humph."

The woman behind Ma Wen gave a cold snort, drew a short knife, and rushed towards Zuo Chang.

Zuo Chang was standing behind the gecko. If the woman wanted to attack Zuo Chang, she would have to pass by the gecko.

The two figures crossed paths, and the gecko restrained its urge to attack, letting her go.

He dared not make a move.

Marvin was filled with murderous intent, his triangular eyes fixed on the gecko. If the gecko tried to attack Evil Eye, he would immediately launch a thunderous offensive and strike with all his might!

For adventurers from the Five Realms, the distance between them is too close.

Marvin could close the distance without even blinking. Gecko could kill Evil Eye, but he might not be able to withstand Marvin's attack.

and so……

"Three realms against three realms, Zuo Chang, show me your champion's strength!"

Whether you live or die depends entirely on your own fate!

Seeing the long-legged woman rushing towards him, Zuo Chang chose to avoid her.

He took a step back, went back to where he came from, and scurried back into the room he had been in, slamming the door shut behind him. He then stood quietly behind the wall by the door.

"Oh!"

Evil Eye burst through the door, scanning the room but finding no trace of Zuo Chang.

A sword rang out from her blind spot, and without thinking, she blocked it with her sword.

The swords clashed, producing a crisp sound. Evil Eye blocked the sneak attack, and a smile was about to bloom on his lips when his heart trembled!

It blocked it, but didn't prevent it from being completely stopped.

Zuo Chang knew the principle that even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, so this sword strike was delivered with all his might.

When the "Swift Wind Sword Technique" is used to its fullest extent, a whistling wind surrounds the mannequins in the room, causing them to sway and tilt!

Steel-Cutting Flash!
