Players’ NPC daddy.

The document states that if Sky King Fish works as an employee of [Hermes' Traveling Hat], he needs to provide a set of work [uniforms].

As for why the word "uniform" is emphasized, it is because the document is also accompanied by illustrations.

That's not a uniform, it's clearly a wearable small aerial fortress.

She wondered what Kullene's two inspirational words were for, and that love was just about asking for money.

"Psst, psst, can't you just arrange this kind of thing directly?"

"No, I like to follow the formal process. But I have arranged everything else, you just need to nod and agree to the expenses."

Kullene grinned and took out more employment applications from her pocket. This time, they were blank. Hebi's face was so dark that only his eyes were left.

"President Herbie, this will be a good investment~"

Chapter 1616 Apple Pie

According to astrology's speculation on the movement trajectory of the floating island, the floating island will enter a large cloud sea biological community for up to a week.

The last time the floating island passed through a large cloud sea biome, the situation was somewhat grim.

The sky giant nation without [Remnants of the Sky] was unable to fight against the cloud sea beasts with an average LV200, and the strangers did not appear in an organized and disciplined manner. Although the cloud sea beasts appeared alone, the battle was still quite difficult.

It was not until Dali Feizhuan heard the news that he urgently boarded the floating island and used [Remnant Wall of Heaven] to fight and resolve the crisis.

It is said that after the crisis, Dali Feizhuan proposed to return the "Remains of Heaven's Wall", but was of course rejected. Returning it would not solve the fundamental problem.

Due to the load-bearing nature of the floating island itself and the [Doomsday Number], it is difficult to build any defensive measures on the floating island, so the safety issue of the floating island has always been a headache.

Using the giant beasts in the sea of ​​clouds to build a [flying fortress] is a huge breakthrough. Once successful, on a small scale, it can solve the safety problem of the floating island. On a larger scale, it will completely open up the world of the sea of ​​clouds to strangers, allowing them to explore the sea of ​​clouds at will.

The plan is simple, to continuously recruit sea of ​​clouds beasts, and then sign contracts with them, but it is somewhat difficult to execute.

Negotiating terms with the giant beast in the sea of ​​clouds is bound to involve a fight, and since monsters generally cannot speak human language, communication will be very difficult.

If we follow the rules, the whole plan will take at least ten days or half a month to take shape. This time consumption is too long, no matter how much inventory the temporary transmission tower has, it can't withstand such use.

So Blazer thought of a different way. The normal way to implement the plan was to first capture a large number of cloud sea beasts, forming a formal floating island cloud sea beast group formation, and then build flying fortress uniforms for the cloud sea beasts to wear, during which time the cloud sea beasts could provide lift to the floating island, and finally mine the floating island's mineral veins.

In the whole process, capturing the sea of ​​clouds beast takes the longest time and has the highest chance of accidents. So why not change the idea and give up on letting people capture beasts and let beasts capture beasts instead?

First prepare the flying fortress uniform for the sky kingfish, and then let the sky kingfish go to the edge of the cloud sea monster airspace far away from the floating island, lure the airspace owner, and show the benefits of becoming a member of the organization.

Simply put, it is to let the sky kingfish do the advertising.

Apart from anything else, as long as a king-level monster like the sky kingfish approaches another airspace, the owner of that airspace will notice it from a distance and then arrive at it at high speed, much faster than a human.

The faster the encounter, the more efficient the negotiation will be.

Blaze withdrew his gaze from the employment application form provided by Kullene. It was worthy of being an ancient being that had survived for so long. He had just brought the Sky Kingfish back to the vicinity of the floating island when this application form and the design drawings of the matching Sky Fortress uniform arrived together.

I guess they had anticipated this development a long time ago, as there were not only design drawings, but also various purchase orders.

The Sky Fortress uniform project is created by Shendai Technology. Shendai Technology is not only lighter and more functional, but most importantly, it is easy to transport.

Due to the special nature of the [Doomsday Number] of the floating island, the materials cannot be transported to the floating island, but if entrusted to Jasmine, Jasmine can create a flying device called a rocket to transport the Sky Fortress uniforms up.

In addition to commissioning Jasmine to make Sky Fortress uniforms, he also purchased a large amount of luminous food from foreigners.

The carrot and stick theory also applies to negotiations. While using the Sky Fortress uniform to demonstrate the powerful combat effectiveness enhanced after joining the organization to deter the target, you should also use luminous food to show your sincerity.

The floating island became surprisingly lively, with most of the one thousand strangers showing up. They had all heard that the floating island was going to form an army of sea of ​​cloud beasts, and were now landing on the island, gathering around the floating island post station to listen to the clerk's arrangements.

Blaze is not good at commanding and mobilizing manpower, so this aspect is left to [Hermes's Brigade Hat].

The work of the foreigners was not complicated. They just helped the Sky Kingfish put on the Sky Fortress uniform and completed the debugging.

It has been nearly a year since the Age of Gods technology appeared, and as always, the foreigners have shown their extraordinary talents, which are that although they do not understand the principles, they can quickly use them to perfection.

The bustle of the floating island attracted the sky giants. Now there are only 200 sky giants left on the floating island, and they are all of the older generation.

Surprisingly, they did not reject the proposal of the Cloud Sea Beast Army.

High Priest Megana said that the sky giants have been trying to tame the cloud sea monsters for a long time. They have been trying to achieve a coexistence relationship with the cloud sea monsters since the vague records of their civilization.

Riding on the cloud sea creatures, you will have mobility in the air, making it easier to protect the floating island.

Unfortunately, they have never been successful because the sky giants are too heavy. When they grow up, the shortest one is 2.5 meters tall and the average height is 3 meters. Not to mention their weight, which is still not light even if they are controlled.

So they were in an awkward situation. The cloud sea creatures they could tame were too weak and had no way of carrying them to fly, while the cloud sea creatures that were capable of carrying them to fly were of too high a level and were almost impossible to tame.

"I have a question, I wonder if you would find it presumptuous." After hesitating for a moment, High Priest Megana pointed at the sky kingfish swimming not far away.

“Why is it called apple pie?”

The sky kingfish is one of the top predators in the sea of ​​clouds. Its appearance of opening its mouth wide to attack in the sea of ​​clouds is known as the ghost face of the sea of ​​clouds. However, its name is called apple pie, which is a huge contrast.

"Because I tamed it with apple pie." Blazer joked, "Actually, it was the stranger who suggested that I give it an interesting and contrasting name, so that it would be easier to attract other people's attention."

"Look, now you're paying attention to it just because it's called apple pie, right?"

"Is this attention of any use to the sky kingfish itself?" High Priest Megana asked curiously.

"Of course it is useful. The army of sea of ​​clouds beasts is not just used to protect the floating island, but also to provide foreigners with a ride to explore the sea of ​​clouds. Sea of ​​clouds beasts that attract a lot of attention will naturally be loved by more foreigners and receive more food from them."

"I see."

Blaze looked at the sky kingfish Apple Pie, who was opening his mouth wide to accept the food from the stranger, enjoying the happiness called "getting something for nothing".

From this perspective, Apple Party’s acceptance of humans is quite high.

A roar was heard. It was Jasmine's Shindai Rocket.

Chapter 1617 Romance

Several Shindai rockets passed through the clouds, controlling the propulsion force and stabilizing it on the designated target.

Blaze, who had been waiting for a long time, called out to Apple Pie, who immediately closed his mouth and swam towards the direction of the Kamishiro Rocket.

Blaze was quite satisfied when he saw this.

The great thing about powerful monsters is that it is quite difficult to establish a cooperative relationship with them, but once the cooperation begins, their self-esteem will not allow them to slack off on the content of the cooperation.

It is certainly a joy to open your mouth and enjoy the free food, but it will soon become boring and lose your dignity. Only by working hard can you get more delicious rewards.

However, Apple Pie still remained instinctively wary of unknown things like the Kamishiro Rocket.

Blazer didn't urge him. It was useless to urge him about this matter. Apple Pie needed to accept it himself.

This process took some time. Apple Pie circled the Kamiyo Rocket several times, using his sense of smell to detect the Kamiyo Rocket. In the process, he was even burned by the Kamiyo Rocket's propulsion engine.

If it were an ordinary monster, it would have probably launched an attack subconsciously, but the sky kingfish is a king-level monster with strong self-control. Even when it was scalded, it just turned its head away in boredom.

After making sure that the Kamishiro Rocket posed no threat to him, Apple Pie stayed where he was.

"Jasmine, it's ready." Blaze shouted, informing Jasmine.

【Sky Fortress Uniform 1.0】

[Confirm to start——]

Several Kamishiro rockets began to transform, but they did not assemble directly onto the apple pie. Instead, they first launched discs that attached to the skin of the apple pie.

The discs were connected to each other, creating a thin uniform that fits the apple pie's body perfectly.

Blazer was not worried that this behavior would cause discomfort to Apple Pie. Shendai Technology had reached the pinnacle of [Service]. Apple Pie didn't even realize that he was covered by a layer of special fibers.

This layer of fiber has a pure black base, and white lines outline the assembly location of the Sky Fortress uniform's main body.

Jasmine originally planned to take full charge of it, but Blaze rejected this proposal. The main assembly part of the Sky Fortress uniform should be handed over to the Stranger. Jasmine only needs to ensure that there will be no problems that harm Apple Pie and the Stranger.

Perhaps Jasmine could do it perfectly, but the important part of this matter was not how flawless the Sky Fortress uniforms were, but rather the establishment of the [bond] between Apple Pie and the future Cloud Sea Behemoth Legion and the Strangers.

Allowing strangers to assemble the Sky Fortress uniforms according to their imagination and hobbies, strangers will pay attention to the Sky Fortress uniforms they make and devote their enthusiasm to them. Finally, they will have a good impression of the giant cloud sea beast that carries the Sky Fortress.

After feeling the affection from strangers, the sea of ​​clouds monster will also return the affection in the same way, forming a positive cycle.

After hearing Blaze's suggestion, Jasmine chose to agree and called it the "Principle that Only Imperfection Can Become Infinitely Perfect."

The foreigners who originally thought that Apple Pie was going to wear armor were dumbfounded when the Kamishiro Rocket appeared. This was completely different from what they had imagined.

When they saw that several Shindai rockets had dressed Apple Pie in fiber uniforms, stopped further transformation of Apple Pie, and deformed and stretched to become a platform for them to land, they realized what this meant.

This is to let them customize the installation of Shendai technology!

Customize the eternal God!

One person simply raised his hand and shouted.

"This is the classic mini-game 'Super Armored Turtle'!!!"

"No, it's not a turtle, it's a shark dragon..." Blaze tried to correct, but the stranger's excited screams drowned out his voice.

Apple Pie was not frightened. Instead, he felt a sense of pride at the screams of the strangers. So many strangers rushed to serve him, which was something he had never felt before.

After all, the so-called king of the airspace is just one that no one will compete with for food. Even the food is unwilling to go into its mouth just to save its reputation as the king of the airspace.

On the contrary, I have been in the organization for less than half a day, and I can eat delicious meals at will and have a group of small people serving me. It is much more comfortable than being the king of the wild.

Thinking of this, Apple Pie immediately cooperated very well. Even if the stranger crawled all over its body, it would never move.

A flying sphere appeared next to Blaze, projecting Jasmine's image.

She pulled open a virtual panel in front of Blaze, which displayed the body data detected through the fiber uniform covering Apple Pie's entire body.

"I estimate that the maximum load that an apple pie can withstand without affecting its physical capabilities is one ton."

"Well, this number is a bit subtle." Blaze crossed his arms and looked up to think. He was not good at math, but his instincts were very sharp.

The biggest advantage of Shendai Technology is its cost-effectiveness in terms of weight. At the same weight, Shendai Technology has more functions.

It would certainly be better if it could bear more weight, but unfortunately the sky kingfish, to which Apple Pie belongs, is a fast-attack type.

But it doesn’t matter. Apple Pie will not be the only member of the Cloud Sea Beast Legion. When different Cloud Sea Beasts are recruited, different functions can be assigned according to their load-bearing capacity.

"Because the sky kingfish species itself is very fast, I recommend that the stranger buy a small number of turning engines and close combat equipment." Jasmine knew how much the stranger valued apple pie, so she reported in great detail.

Blazer nodded from time to time. He understood why it was not possible to install a propulsion engine on an apple pie.

Apple Pie's body structure has evolved over countless years to be a high-speed attack type, and does not need a superfluous propulsion engine.

"By the way, the stranger applied for a self-destruct device."

"Oh." Blaze nodded, then turned his head sharply to look at Jasmine, his voice a little distorted, "What!?"

"Self-destruct device." Jasmine repeated, "I have approved the application, but don't worry, their self-destruct device is not a self-destructing apple pie, but in a critical moment, it can make the parts of the Sky Fortress uniform disintegrate and fly towards the enemy to self-destruct."

"Really, what a careful design." Blazer's mouth twitched. The reason the stranger gave Jasmine for her application was the [correct answer] that would definitely pass, but it was not their true thoughts.

The reason they want a self-destruct device is definitely because of romance.

"But I'm a little confused." Jasmine turned her head away, her face full of confusion, "Why did they set the password for the self-destruct device to 2887?"

"Don't you think this password is too short?"

Chapter 1618 [Dog] and [Wolf]

Nature is cruel, the strong prey on the weak and only the fittest survive.

In order to survive, you can do anything.

But when you have great power, a more important meaning than survival will be born, that is [dignity].

Monsters above LV100 are monsters with dignity, and the Sky Kingfish is a monster born with dignity.

They are completely solitary creatures. Even during the mating season, females and males will only meet at the junction of their airspace.

They will be urged to mate during the estrus period, but they will first fight fiercely. Only when the male and female are evenly matched will they complete mating. If there is even a slight difference in strength, the weaker one will become food.

After mating, there will be a brief harmony between the sky king fish, but that is not [love], it is still [dignity], and protecting the spouse and offspring is part of dignity.

This harmony will continue until the female sky kingfish gives birth, when it will divide its own airspace and give it to its offspring, and then a brutal battle for territory will begin.

The sky kingfish group that continues this habit is extremely ferocious and also very aloof. They are truly king-level creatures with every drop of blood containing pride.

The day they lose their dignity is the day their blood is all shed. And their dignity is the airspace they have been bleeding for since they were born.

To enter their airspace is to challenge their dignity!

A LV190 sky kingfish patrols its airspace daily. Its body is covered with scars, and the scar that almost splits its entire head in two is particularly hideous and terrifying.

Every scar was left by it in its attempt to defend its dignity, and it is proud of it.
