Alone and Infinite

It was originally just an ordinary building, and now you want it to house a skyscraper.

Li Xia frowned: "If—"

"No! I know what you're going to say."

Madaro smiled: "You mean to upgrade the Lava Mountain Armor to Tier 3 first, and then modify it?"

No, this is a difference in quality. Mud and stone can't support the high-grade building materials above; it's not as simple as just moving it to a higher level.

Li Xia clicked his tongue. He really did think so, but he also really liked the properties of the Lava Mountain Armor.

"Is there absolutely no other way?"

Li Xia, still unwilling to give up, asked another question:

"What I mainly want to retain is the effect of the Lava Armor not showing its retracted state under normal circumstances."

This feature is so convenient, saving a lot of effort, and the fact that the Lava Mountain Armor feels the same as not wearing it is something he really likes.

"Well"

After pondering for a while, Madao suddenly took out a tablet and began to write and draw.

Not only are there patterns, but also magic circles, transmutation circles, various symbols and formulas, which are dazzling to look at.

Black Charcoal only glanced at it before shrinking back in fear, almost making the cat dizzy.

Feeling that Madaro would take a while longer, Li Xia sat in the courtyard to wait, feeling somewhat bored.

Looking at the thick smoke drifting in the sky, and the light cast by the Hall of Light shining on the forging area, appearing somewhat dark red under the firelight.

Suddenly, as if lost in thought, he said, "Have I forgotten something?"

Li Xia pondered for a moment and then pulled out the communicator.

How could I forget about Lancelot!

Lancelot answered the call almost instantly after I selected voice call.

"Boss! You finally contacted me!"

He was so excited he almost cried. The ultimate purple main weapon, with such powerful special effects, was a sword-type main weapon!

As for negative debuffs, what are they? Flesh-type teammates can just tank them!

Small guilds may be self-sufficient in other aspects, but high-level equipment is a pain point they cannot solve.

Whether it's top-tier guilds, second-tier guilds, or even guilds of all sizes at the eighth and ninth tiers, there is demand.

Heavens behold, their best equipment to date is only dark purple.

The ultimate in purple? Never seen it before!

Li Xia had no idea about Lancelot's feelings for her, nor was she interested in knowing:

"Something came up earlier. Do you want this weapon?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Definitely want it!"

Lancelot repeated it three times before cautiously answering:

"Boss, how would you like to make the deal?"

"Barter!"

This is the main reason why Li Xia chose Lancelot.

The Brotherhood of Steel and the Nightingale will definitely offer a good price, but that's about it.

They won't trade away truly good things.

But the Knights of the Round Table are different; smaller guilds don't have as many resources.

When they encounter something good, they will really bring out something of real value to exchange for it!

Li Xia knew this, and Lancelot knew it too.

Several items popped up directly in the communicator:

"[Eye of the Void], [Crescent Sword Technique], [Frost Roar], [Summon Divine Beast], [Demon Bell]."

Li Xia glanced at it and immediately realized what it meant:

"Did you go to Legend in the last world?"

Lancelot chuckled.

"We've got lucky! We've managed to get our hands on an unlimited teleportation scroll and a beacon, and we also happen to have a legendary strategy guide that fell out of an old guild."

Legendary was also one of the most popular spin-off worlds more than 20 years ago, and its simple, straightforward, and powerful skills made it very popular.

However, as time goes by, this world will soon be closed forever.

Li Xia was more interested in the detailed legendary strategy guide Lancelot mentioned. Generally speaking, such strategies that can conquer the entire world are the result of countless efforts, time, and even the deaths of countless people by the guild.

This strategy guide is the cornerstone of the guild, its most precious treasure, and it will never be lost.

Lancelot got it, which means one thing: a long-established guild has fallen!

As expected, Lancelot answered readily to this non-confidential information.

The once-established guild 'Crimson Gate' clashed with a ruthless lone wolf. After spending two or three worlds, the lone wolf finally saw an opportunity and single-handedly killed the current guild leader and vice-leader of Crimson Gate, as well as wiping out a portion of the guild's high-ranking members.

In the end, everyone turned against him and kicked him while he was down.

They completely crushed the 'Crimson Gate', and their accumulated treasures were released, giving everyone a taste of their newfound wealth.

Even the Knights of the Round Table obtained some things.

"Two things aren't enough!"

Li Xia glanced at it, already having a plan in mind, but still decisively said:

“I don’t lack skills; what you’ve received are mostly skill-based rewards.”

"this--"

Lancelot was in a bit of a predicament. All the items he had brought out were purple, and purple skills were even rarer than main weapons, according to market prices.

With two purple skills, you could easily get a top-tier purple main weapon.

But that's just the market price, and the favor Li Xia did for them by giving them the opportunity is priceless.

After thinking for a moment, Lancelot said sincerely, "Boss, three pieces are indeed unlikely, and we are also lacking in skills."

Two items are the limit. Would you like to add something else?

After pondering for a moment, Li Xia replied, "Okay, see if you can add anything else."

After browsing through the items offered by Lancelot for a while, Li Xia made a decisive decision:

"That's it!"

"Okay, how do we trade, sir? In person?"

"No need, just mail it to me."

The notarization was completed quickly, and the "Blade of Death" was attached.

A notification from the Hall of Light also popped up:

[Executioner, you have acquired the [Eye of the Void], [Summon Divine Beast], and [Priority Certificate] through trade.]

Li Xia was about to take a closer look at these three things.

Suddenly, a joyful shout came from beside me:

"Good! It's done!"

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

Chapter 335 Another Ray of Orange Light!

Mada pushed the tablet over, and the high-tech tablet immediately projected what he had written into the air.

In an instant, dense text and formulas filled the entire courtyard!

Just one glance was enough to instill a sense of awe and dread; it was as if knowledge was assaulting my brain.

Putting everything else aside, only an enhanced apostle could write so much in such a short time.

Even the old man, who had been constantly shouting "Awoo!", was forced by knowledge to cautiously ask:

"May I ask who you were before entering this hall?"

Madaro stroked his beard and said nonchalantly:

"It's nothing, I've just won the Zou Yanhua Prize in Chemistry and the Wang Yangming Prize in Physics five or six times."

Li Xia was filled with awe. He had heard Lisa from the Brotherhood of Steel mention these awards, and that the 4399 parallel universes were not exactly the same.

For example, the East University in Lisa's timeline has been outstanding since 2000 BC, and even its highest award is named after historical figures from the university.

It holds a higher status than the Nobel Prize, which Li Xia is familiar with.

This is a top-tier scientist, the strategic kind!

No wonder I always felt the old man was a bit arrogant, like trash and idiots weren't worthy of talking to me.

In the modern world, this is nothing. Madaro could be ten times more arrogant, and everyone around him would have to fawn over him.

The workers cannot return to the present world, and the country that lost Madagascar will likely grieve for a long time.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Let me explain my thought process to you!"

Madao quickly became immersed in his great achievement and excitedly said:

"It's difficult to fully realize your ideas because, no matter what, the Lava Mountain Armor is too weak as a base material."

If the Enemy Armor is used as the base material, it will completely devour the Lava Mountain Armor due to its biological properties.

The final result is that the Overlord Armor possesses fire resistance and a gravity field.

Madaro then waved his hand, placing the two hypothetical diagrams directly into the air:

"But why can't we try a different approach?"

Using the Star God Core as the base material, the characteristics of the Molten Mountain Armor are enhanced through the Salsky Transformation, and finally the control stone properties of the Star God Core are utilized.

Strip away the mycelium and biological components of the enemy-conquering armor, leaving only the highly defensive outer shell.

Your physical body is already very strong; you don't need armor to parasitize your body to gain extra strength—that's a crooked and evil method.

While this won't be exactly the same as the Lava Mountain Armor, it will partially meet your needs.

After listening to Madao babbling on and on, Li Xia gradually understood what he meant.

It's impossible to be exactly like the Lava Armor, but it can have some of the characteristics of the Lava Armor.

For example, it can be hidden inside the body and still provide fire resistance.

When encountering an enemy, it manifests as the Enemy-Defeating Armor, retaining the ridiculously high defensive tier of the Enemy-Defeating Armor.

It reduces the symbiotic plant-like nature and also has a portion of the gravitational field.

"Okay! I have no objection!"

Li Xia nodded; the result was even somewhat beyond his expectations.

This ability to further modify and integrate equipment is not something that ordinary forging workers possess.

It requires a vast amount of knowledge! It requires a thorough understanding of all kinds of properties and changes.

This is Madao's true ability.

"But there's a problem—"

With a wave of his hand, Madaro dispersed the countless formulas and diagrams, revealing something new.

"The new equipment will bring a huge burden, possibly consuming at least 20% of your maximum health, and your intelligence and spirit will also decrease by about 3 points at the same time."

Is there any way to make up for it?

Li Xia frowned. This debuff was a bit too strong, essentially weakening his strength by 2% out of thin air.
