Tokyo: Magical Girl Shatters My Dream of Going Public

Chapter 81 E-Rank Combat Suit and Exclusive Doll (5/5)

The factory's first-floor workshop.

Kurokawa loosened the last bolt and took a half step back.

Looking at the equipment standing in the center of the empty workshop.

The device has a silver-gray metal casing with a cool, matte finish.

Its outline is square and heavy, with dense pipeline interfaces and energy conduction channels embedded on the sides.

The front panel is a full-length curved control panel, with blue indicator lights lighting up one by one.

【Super Metal Machine Tool】

This is the infrastructure reward given by the system after completing the "Build Vehicle Workshop" operation task.

Kurokawa raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, his gaze sweeping over the massive body of the machine tool.

Unlike the magic energy 3D printers used to make combat suits previously.

3D printers can only process synthetic fibers and energy fabrics; they are powerless to process metal parts.

This machine in front of us is the true foundation of heavy industry.

He walked to the control panel and swiped his finger across the screen.

The interface lights up, displaying a 3D modeling menu, a materials analysis library, and a stress simulation program.

The functional modules are complex yet comprehensive.

This machine can produce any metal component he wants, provided he has the blueprints and enough raw materials.

It can even achieve a precision down to the micrometer level.

"With this equipment, we can directly handcraft vehicles right here at the company."

"7

Although it would be a waste of time to make it by hand, the car he wanted simply didn't exist on the market.

Moreover, the new technology modules can also be used in the new car.

It can also provide more protection in the future.

Thinking of this, Kurokawa took out the containment manual and glanced at the newly acquired technology modules and the containment of vengeful spirits.

The new technology obtained through the "Great Entry into the Path".

[Congratulations on obtaining the containment reward - Blueprint for the Rank E Grand Path Combat Suit (Buddhist Robe)]

Congratulations on obtaining the Containment Reward Rank E: Ultra-Large-Scale Technology (Technology Module) Blueprint.

[Completed the analysis of the crystal core of the windlass head—obtained the blueprint for the F-grade levitation platform technology (technology module)]

[Complete the analysis of the Price Increase Vengeful Spirit Crystal Core to obtain the E-grade Value Increase Technology (Technology Module) Blueprint]

[Complete the analysis of the Godless Crystal Core to obtain the blueprint for Grade D Attribute Super Amplification Technology (Technology Module)]

Four brand-new technologies, plus a brand-new E-class combat suit...

Including this combat suit, the company now has two Class E combat suits.

Kurokawa closed the manual and quickly went to the 3D printing device.

Insert the new USB drive containing the combat suit data into the interface.

Soon, the parameters of the two combat suits were displayed.

【Grade E High-Speed ​​Magic Combat Suit (Sports Style)】

Category: Legendary; Performance: 9; Mobility: 16; Defense: 5

Platform load: 15

【Rank E - Great Enlightenment Magic Combat Suit (Buddhist Robe Style)】

Category: Legendary; Performance: 14; Mobility: 6; Defense: 10

Platform load: 15

Compared to the F-level combat suit, the E-level combat suit has a total attribute increase of 15, and the platform load is also 5 points higher than before.

The Great Path Combat Suit offers excellent strength and defense, but its speed is somewhat ill-suited to his fighting style.

However, this combat suit isn't entirely useless; it can be used to create custom dolls!

Kurokawa had the printer start making his E-class combat suit, and he headed straight for the research lab on the second floor.

Go up to the second-floor research room.

Open the door.

The room was dimly lit, and the faint light from the control panel cast a shadowy figure.

Xun had just finished bathing; her wet black hair was piled up at the back of her head, with a few stray strands clinging to her smooth neck.

She was only wearing a large white shirt, the hem of which just covered the middle of her thighs.

That was his white shirt. Since he hadn't moved in yet and the incense burning was finished, he didn't have any clothes to change into, so he had to borrow his.

The girl was clearly unaware that someone had come in, and was huddled in the large swivel chair.

His bare calves were bent, and his feet were placed on the chair.

Her ankles were slender, and the arches of her feet had a delicate porcelain-like luster.

Her toes were slightly curled, and her nails were neatly trimmed with a faint pink hue.

At this moment, she was staring intently at the research platform interface, her brows slightly furrowed, her fingers rapidly tapping, clearly engrossed in some kind of technical problem.

Kurokawa walked up behind her, his gaze sweeping across the screen.

She was struggling with how to fit more technology into a limited space.

The structure diagram is so complex it's like a tangled mess.

The simulation parameters next to them are even more alarmingly low...

"An excessive pursuit of technological advancements," Kurokawa began, "will only lead to a sharp drop in material durability and a surge in energy consumption."

"If the battle doesn't last long enough, you'll wear yourself down first."

Xun was startled and turned around abruptly.

Seeing Kurokawa's face so close to hers, her ears instantly turned red. She hurriedly put her feet down, sat up straight, and subconsciously pulled at the hem of her overly long shirt.

"—President."

She knew that Kurokawa was a PhD in materials science and an absolute authority in the field.

"Then—what should we do?" Her voice was a little tense.

Kurokawa didn't answer, but instead leaned over the back of the chair and reached his arm from her shoulder toward the control panel.

Xun could smell a faint scent of engine oil on him.

A young girl's thoughts are always complex.

Her heart raced uncontrollably, and her toes unconsciously curled slightly, pressing against the cold ground.

Kurokawa, however, had already started working.

He transferred the other party's complex design to the backend and brought up a brand new blank project interface.

He slowly instructed, "First, you need to understand the core responsibilities of the puppet."

"Should it be reconnaissance? Offense? Defense? Or support?"

"Determine the direction first, then choose the technology. Strength isn't achieved by simply stuffing in all the good stuff."

Xun's attention was drawn back to the screen by his words.

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to ignore the body temperature and breath so close to her, and focused the light on the blank design framework.

Kurokawa gave a concise demonstration.

"For example, I specialize in close-range, high-speed combat, but my weaknesses are strength and defense. Therefore, the puppets I need must excel in both defense and offense."

He brought up the newly acquired [E·Great Enlightenment Combat Suit] technology module and loaded it into the research station.

The outline of a heavy doll, about three meters tall and wearing a simplified version of a holographic structure, immediately appeared on the holographic projection.

"It requires immense power, ideally capable of dealing with large vengeful spirits. There will definitely be many enemies like this in the future."

Large vengeful spirits will not be uncommon in the future world.

At least 4 out of 10 are over four or five meters in size.

Kurokawa spoke as he quickly dragged the module into the module.

[Extra-large structure], [Value increase], [Attribute super-increase].

The basic framework was thus finalized.

But he didn't stop.

"In urban areas, stealth is essential."

He pulled in the [stealth] technology module.

Finally, he adjusted the energy loop compatibility parameters.

After a final check, click "Start Blueprint Study".

Estimated completion time: 1 day and 7 hours.

Xun was somewhat surprised: "So fast?"

Remembering Kurokawa's earlier words, she asked, "President, you're going for a melee combat style, so wouldn't it be better to give the doll a ranged support ability? It would complement each other."

"No need." Kurokawa shook his head. "Battles with vengeful spirits often take place in relatively enclosed spaces. What I need is a shield that can immediately compensate for my weaknesses and withstand attacks head-on, not a bow that can only provide support from afar."

"7

Xun seemed to be deep in thought: "Core responsibility—so that's how it is..."

A glint flashed in her eyes, as if she had found her direction.

Kurokawa then turned to her: "Where's Chinatsu? I haven't seen your sister in ages."

Kaoru sighed softly, "My sister did so badly on the recent midterms that Mr. Yukimura kept her after school for extra tutoring."

Kurokawa suddenly realized, "No wonder I haven't heard her chattering these past two days. She hasn't even come to try on the new combat suit, which is already finished."

"Until when do you need to finish the treatment?"

"We'll keep tutoring her until she passes."

Kurokawa shook his head: "It seems she won't be able to come next week either, what a pity..."

"7

Hearing the implication in Kurokawa's words, Kaoru looked up in surprise: "President, next week—we have an operation planned?"

"Hmm." Kurokawa nodded. "There might be vengeful spirits appearing at the shopping center next week. Since you're moving here anyway, you can buy the furniture while you're on the mission."

Xun readily agreed, "Okay."

As Kurokawa walked to the door and grasped the doorknob, he suddenly turned back and added, "Also, you need to hold onto your dolls. We might face off against Yagi Heavy Industries' combatants next week."

Her breath hitched, and her fingers instinctively clenched.

Kurokawa said nothing more and left.
