Chapter 571: 571
"35 bucks . " Behind the run-down, yellowed counter, a hook-nosed waiter in a white shirt and suspenders concocted a cocktail with skilled movements . He easily poured the solution into the glass before him .
Pad-like objects floated in the faint reddish wine . It gave the cocktail an appearance of some half-congealed blood .
A young man in a gray windbreaker stood before the counter . He ruffled his messy, short golden hair . He slid the small change across the counter, picked up the glass, and took a few sips .
"What do the higher-ups want? There are many eyes in the Platinum Academy . The had a shot, and they blew it . Now, they're coming here for my help . This is difficult, the reward won't be enough…"
"The reward was increased . We have an insider in the academy, you can act without worry," replied the waiter drily . "Naturally, the consequence of the reduced difficulty means you'll have to share a portion of the reward with our insider . That won't be a problem, right?"
"An insider, huh? That's great, I'll take the job . " The gold-haired man caressed his nose . He sucked back his snot which almost fell down from his nostrils, and finished his drink in one go . Then, he turned the glass upside down on the counter, turned, and left .
"A little fellow who doesn't even have a recognized soldier armor, and yet we have to send out a Nightwalker with a general armor . " The waiter was also filled with emotion .
A waitress walked by, and softly said, "The Nightwalker is very close to amassing enough resources to modify his armor and bring it to a titled armor's standards, right?"
"Almost . There's only a few Titled Armor Generals in this city . There are too few of them . After this job, I reckon that the higher-ups will dispatch some higher-ranking Armor Generals over, and we'll have our hands full then," said the waiter as he shrugged . "Let's enjoy this blissful moment while we can . "
An Armor General was a popular term for the powerful combatants who possessed a set of tailor-made armor .
They started from standard Soldier Armors and worked their way up through a General Armor to their current standing . Throughout the long years of training, they slowly noticed their own advantages and shortcomings . With that knowledge, they designed a General Armor that was most suited to themselves .
Unlike Soldier Armors, General Armors were mainly supplied to high-ranking military officers . The materials these armors were made of were usually of high quality .
The various General Armors that were improved with that as the fundamentals would be capable of unleashing powerful might due to them being close to the Armor General's advantages .
If they utilized their armors well, they could become great generals capable of taking on 10 opponents at once . They would even have important roles in key battle tactics . They were very powerful, and were equivalent to the special forces of ordinary people .
In the Alan Federation, an Armor General was also given various titles . Hence, they were known as Titled Armor Generals .
The Nightwalker left the bar . He bought a pack of cigarettes from a small shop around the corner, lit one, and took a puff .
'The Platinum Academy's grand examination is just around the corner . Let's do it on the day after the grand examination . The lax after the excitement is always the easiest weakness to exploit . ' He reached into his sleeve and took out a small paper strip . When he opened it, there was a monochrome portrait and a brief description .
The portrait was one of the Platinum Academy's Armor Course's Jorin .
*****************
'Let's see how quickly this body can adapt to improvements . ' Lu Sheng sat on his bed and focused his gaze on Deep Blue's frame .
"Iron Man's Three Gears, level up . "
As he focused his mind, the frame blurred again . Then, it regained clarity .
"Iron Man's Three Gears, first gear, level two . (Armor Harmonizing Power, Weak Level Four . )"
An extremely subtle change surfaced on his body's surface again . Lu Sheng frowned slightly . He felt that the improvement was on an even smaller scale compared to before .
"Again . "
He focused his mind again . The frame quickly blurred and clarified .
"Iron Man's Three Gears, first gear level three . (Armor Harmonizing Power, Weak Level Four . )"
'This time, the extent of the improvement was too small to raise the Harmonizing Power by one level… Is it the problem with the training method, or is this body lacking in potential?' Lu Sheng's brows were deeply furrowed .
'Let's continue . I'd like to see how far I can improve . '
Lu Sheng calmed his spirits and continued levelling up . Since he had the materials which listed out the actual steps, the Modifier was now capable of reducing the time he needed to train by a great margin .
The training method originally required a person to train for a couple of years to level up . However, Lu Sheng managed to condense the entire process and accomplish it within an extremely short span of time .
This was not a derivation, hence the minimal Mental Energy requirement .
"Iron Man's Three Gears, first gear, level four . (Armor Harmonizing Power, Weak Level Four . )"
In no time, the level of the training method was the same with Lu Sheng's own Harmonizing Power . They were both at level four .
This time, the margin of improvement was even smaller .
Lu Sheng felt his body for any changes . It seemed as if his body could still withstand it . Hence, he continued with levelling up .
"Improve Iron Man's Three Gears . "
"Pcchht!" The frame blurred and clarified .
"Iron Man's Three Gears, first gear, level five . (Armor Harmonizing Power, Weak Level Five . )"
Finally, his Harmonizing Power increased by one level .
However, Lu Sheng was not too happy . He continued to modify the training method .
He gradually felt this body's limits . Consequently, the Mental Energy he expended increased as well .
At the fifth level, one unit of his Mental Energy was consumed .
"Continue improving the Iron Man's Three Gears . "
In no time, his Harmonizing Power levelled up . From Weak Level Five, to Average Level One, Average Level Two, Average Level Three, and it stopped .
