Chapter 596 The Weakness of Heavy Armor?
Chapter 596 The Weakness of Heavy Armor?
Lin Qiye clicked his tongue in amazement; the accumulated resources of the Star Network over ten thousand years were indeed terrifying. He quickly used his system privileges to filter the criteria:
[Filtering criteria: Official, Martial God, Standard, Heavy Armor.]
[Keywords: Psionic input, psionic shield, mech structural strength.]
With filtering, the hundreds of millions of options were quickly reduced.
In the end, Lin Qiye was left with only 54 official modules.
1. [Pulse Core (Normal)]: Replaces the armor's psionic conduit with a high-frequency pulse loop, increasing the psionic transmission limit by 100% but reducing psionic transmission speed by 50%. (Price: 1000 points)
2. [Super Dimensional Alloy Skeleton (Normal)]: Forcibly enhances the overall structural toughness, increases load-bearing capacity by 50%, and increases weight by 100%. (Price: 2000 points)
3. [All-Encompassing Layered Shield System (Normal)]: Increases the strength of the psionic shield by 50%, but increases its cost by 100%. Limited to the first two layers of the shield. (Price: 3000 points)
Lin Qiye stared at the dozens of official modules for a moment, his finger hovering in the air before slowly retracting it.
He discovered that even the most basic official modules required over 1000 points.
For ordinary newcomers, this is not a luxury that they can afford to play with casually.
More importantly, most of these modules have both advantages and disadvantages.
For example, increasing the transmission limit requires sacrificing transmission speed, and improving structural toughness requires doubling the weight.
While it may be surprisingly effective in certain extreme environments, in terms of overall balance, it is not as good as the initial standard equipment.
"It seems that the standard War God armor developed by the Galactic Empire is itself a masterpiece with the greatest universality and balance after countless iterations."
Lin Qiye understood.
For the vast majority of people with limited points and average strength, free standard equipment is the perfect transition.
Only when you truly reach a certain bottleneck, or possess a certain extremely unique fighting style, do you need to personalize it through expensive modular modifications.
Modification often means paying a high price to break that balance.
"Don't rush to buy."
Lin Qiye summoned the Star System again, and the mecha's huge alloy right arm suddenly swung out, grasping at the void.
"Buzz—!"
With a flash of dark golden light, an advanced spear, its entire body shimmering with black and gold, appeared out of thin air and fell into Lin Qiye's enormous metal hand.
This is the heaviest and most durable spear in the advanced weapon arsenal.
Lin Qiye controlled the five-meter-tall battle armor and casually twirled his spear in the spacious preparation hall.
"Whoosh—whoosh—!"
The spear tore through the air, instantly producing a deep and violent whistling sound.
The intense wind pressure even created a small, visible hurricane in the center of the hall.
"It is indeed much heavier."
Lin Qiye felt the feedback from his arm and nodded slightly: "Although it's still a bit lighter than my full-power burst, at least it doesn't feel like I'm just gesturing with a matchstick anymore. I can feel some real force now."
He felt the surging power emanating from inside the armor, and the heavy black and gold spear in his hand; his fighting spirit rose once more.
"Then, let's continue."
"Let's see how skilled these guys are, those above 1700 points!"
[Beep! Matching you with an opponent...]
Current rank: 1700 points
【Successful match! 】
[Red side: 777, 100% win rate, 1700 points]
[Blue Team: Unbreakable Shield, Win Rate 72%, Points 1750]
[Scene Loading: Meteorite Belt]
Meteorite belt.
There is no gravity here, only the deathly silence of deep space and countless meteorite fragments of varying sizes moving at high speeds with irregular patterns.
Lin Qiye's five-meter-tall blue-black battle armor floated silently in the void.
Through the electronic vision of his armor, he locked onto a black dot in the distance.
The opponent's name is "Undying Iron Shield". The initial loading image is indeed a warrior in full armor, holding a giant alloy shield that is taller than a person.
"Is it also a heavy armor build?"
Lin Qiye gripped the black and gold spear in his hand, his heart not stirred much.
however.
Just as the system countdown reached zero!
【3......2......1......】
【start!!】
hum!
The heavy armor on the surface of the "black dot" in the distance vanished in an instant, as if data had collapsed.
The next second, a set of advanced black light armor covered his entire body.
The original exaggerated giant shield had shrunk to a disc-sized swivel shield, while his other hand held a short sword that pulsated with blue light.
Swish!
Using a huge meteorite as cover, the opponent accelerated instantly.
Its movements were as nimble as a fish swimming through crevices in the rocks, and it disappeared into the complex meteorite formation in the blink of an eye.
Lin Qiye was stunned for a moment, then didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
"This guy's a bit sneaky..."
……
Meanwhile, in the arena's lounge.
Chi Yan's pretty face turned red with anger. She suddenly stood up, her voluptuous figure heaving with rage.
"Shameless! Utterly shameless! We actually ran into a turtle-style player!"
She stared at the bluish afterimage disappearing behind the meteorite on the big screen and burst into curses:
"This 'Indestructible Iron Shield' was deliberately named that way, and its initial model was set to heavy armor, all to lure opponents into choosing blunt or long weapons that are effective against heavy armor. But then, he switched gear the moment the fight started!"
The Ice Prison was also as cold as ice at this moment.
"That guy's so cunning!"
Chi Yan and Bing Yu were already very angry!
Because this indestructible iron shield has many supporters, but far fewer people are betting on it compared to Lei Xiao in the previous match!
As for Lin Qiye, perhaps it was because of the last match that he suddenly received a lot of attention!
This led to a significant increase in the number of people placing bets!
There are too many people betting on Lin Qiye's side, while there are too few people betting on the other side, so the two sides cannot reach an balance.
With too many monks and too little porridge, StarNet restricts betting on Crimson Flame and Ice Prison to a maximum of 500 points!
They originally planned to take advantage of their master's winning streak, double the points they had just won, and immediately buy a house for their master in the Star Realm.
In that case, it's hard to say how long it will take.
Chi Yan and Bing Yu were already very angry.
Now that they've encountered such an opponent, Chi Yan and Bing Yu are even angrier!
……
Deep within the asteroid belt, the black, lightly armored afterimage moved silently among the jagged rocks like a ghost.
"Hey, this kind of iron lump can only show its power in siege warfare."
The Undying Iron Shield hid behind a cold meteorite the size of a small mountain, holding his breath, suppressing the psionic energy fluctuations throughout his body to the limit with his specially modified "Shadow Module".
His advanced light armor, in pursuit of ultimate speed and stealth, significantly reduced defense while enhancing speed and invisibility!
Specifically designed to counter the War God Armor!
"The biggest weakness of this heavily armored style is not being able to find its target. Even if it spots me, it can't catch me! As long as I keep hiding, I can slowly deplete your energy and wear down your patience..."
The Undying Iron Shield looked at the blue-black armor that floated in the void like a black iron tower in the distance, a sinister smugness flashing in its eyes.
"When you get desperate, when you start attacking randomly, that's my chance to strike!"
In his view, the battles in the Astral Realm are not just a clash of power, but also a psychological battle.
He was even prepared for a three-hour draw.
For him, a draw is perfectly acceptable as it doesn't result in a loss of points!
In reality, a draw after three hours is almost impossible!
Most opponents will eventually give in!
He, on the other hand, is a venomous snake waiting for its chance to strike!
