Skills are acquired through practice. Tang Xihe has been cooking more often recently, and his skills are getting better day by day.

The steamed egg custard this morning was so soft and chewy, and the fried chicken legs next to it were also crispy and delicious.

Chen Wangping ate with great pleasure, "It's so delicious."

Tang Xihe said proudly, "Of course, I learned it from Aunt Fang. She has been busy here with Uncle Fang recently, and she teaches me how to cook from time to time. Practicing all the time is very tiring, so cooking is just the right way to relax."

Eat and drink enough.

Chen Wangping rested for a while, waiting for the Insect King Armor to be completed.

In the distance, the lightning flashed very quickly on the manufacturing platform where artificial thunderclouds were being studied, and it seemed that the research process was very intense.

He thought about it and specially allocated a steam generator to power this manufacturing table to ensure the research progress.

Waiting for you.

Laughter and greetings were heard from the gate of the base.

Following the sound, I saw Xiao Fang coming back. He was covered in dried mud just like the others behind him. His shoes were torn and the luggage behind him was dirty. He looked very disheveled.

But no matter how embarrassed he looked, his eyes were bright.

Chen Wangping called out from afar, "You're glad to be back. Go and have some rest."

Xiao Fang heard the noise and saw Chen Wangping in the base. He immediately jumped up and shouted, "Brother Chen, good news! I found sulfur and black oil!"

"What?"

Chen Wangping walked quickly to Xiao Fang and asked in surprise, "Where is it? Let me see the sample."

Xiao Fang first took out two pieces of sulfur ore from the space device and handed them to Chen Wangping, saying, "The sulfur mine is not far from here, just behind Yuanshan Town, about an hour's drive away. The sulfur ore on the surface is not of very high quality, but the sulfur ore inside is okay."

Chen Wangping took the sulfur ore and examined it, finding a stark contrast between the two pieces. Simply put, one had ☆ and the other didn't, but it was still sulfur, and could be made into plastic rods. He smiled and said, "An hour isn't too far. After we investigate and repair the road, maybe half an hour will be enough."

Xiao Fang nodded, then took out a bunch of black water plants from the space device and placed them on the ground, pointing at them and saying, "I haven't figured out the black oil yet. We saw these water plants when we stopped in Qingshui Town, south of Leilong City. I didn't pay much attention to them when I first saw them, but when I washed my hands, I realized something was wrong. These black things were floating in the water and stuck to the water plants."

Chen Wangping squatted down and wiped his hand on the water plants. He picked up a piece of black sticky solid and smelled it. The smell was very pungent, with the unpleasant smell of crude oil. It should be fine.

Xiao Fang continued, "Later, we searched the river and found that there weren't many of these aquatic plants, and their distribution didn't seem to have a regular pattern. We observed them for a while, but didn't see any black oil coming out. Plus, we ran out of supplies, so we had no choice but to return."

Chen Wangping patted Xiao Fang and said, "It's already very good. Let's not worry about the black oil for now. You guys should have a good rest. Tomorrow we will go to the sulfur mine to arrange a production line and increase production capacity as soon as possible."

Xiao Fang nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Chen. The sulfur mine is huge, and no one has mined it for a long time. Who knows how many good things it has accumulated."

Chen Wangping smiled. It was true that there was strength in numbers. The two resource problems that had plagued the territory finally had a solution.

As for the black oil, he planned to explore it after he finished the matters in Leilong City over the past two days.

If we follow what Xiao Fang said, the black oil is most likely leaked from the cracks under the river, which is consistent with the situation that it appears and disappears from time to time. If this is true, then the project will be huge, and a series of tasks such as rebuilding the drilling platform will have to be done, which cannot be rushed.

After collecting the oil-stained water plants, Chen Wangping just saw that the manufacture of the Insect King Armor was nearing completion.

Looking closer, the appearance of the Insect King Armor looks a bit like the shell of a mantis shrimp, with wide plates connected to each other, running through the entire body. Of course, the joints are not ordinary, but the fourth-level mutant mole cricket skin, which ensures that even the weak points of the shell have strong defensive capabilities.

[Insect King Armor is completed]

Looking at the prompt, Chen Wangping took off the Insect King Armor with anticipation and checked its properties:

【Insect King Armor☆☆】

【Purpose: Full body armor】

[Special Effect - All-Around Protection: Insect King Armor can resist 65% of elemental and physical attack damage, and weaken elemental and physical special effects by 60% (up to level 5 psychics)]

[Special Effect - Flexible Retraction: The Insect King Armor can be switched to defensive mode while in motion. This consumes 10,000 points of lightning energy. After switching, the user cannot move. Frontal defense is increased to block 85% of elemental and physical damage (upper limit for Level 6 Psychics)]

[Note: The Insect King Armor provides the ultimate in defense]

After reading the properties, Chen Wangping had only one idea.

This thing is so hard!

Even when moving, it can block two-thirds of attack damage and weaken various special effects.

If it switches to defensive mode, the frontal defense will be even more incredible.

Eighty-five percent damage immunity, and it can also block the attacks of level six psychics!

To put it bluntly, he is not afraid of being beaten by others when he stands in Leilong City.

Chen Wangping couldn't wait to put on the Insect King Armor. He first tried it while moving and found that his movements were not affected at all. He was very free. What was not mentioned in the properties was that this thing also had a good warming effect. The whole body was covered within the range, so he felt warm when he put it on.

He first called Tang Xihe and used the form-switching function of the Insect King Armor in Tang Xihe's direction.

After injecting 10,000 points of lightning energy, the Insect King Armor pulled Chen Wangping to squat down quickly, putting all the shells together. At the same time, energy surged near the shells, forming a double defense system.

Chen Wangping shouted, "Hit me with your strongest attack and test the effect of this armor."

Tang Xihe looked at Chen Wangping and shouted, "Then I'll fight you." After that, she raised her hand and mobilized hundreds of fire pythons that had been accumulating energy for a long time to charge towards Chen Wangping head-on.

"boom!"

The huge fire python slammed heavily in front of Chen Wangping with high temperature and impact force.

The power of this attack is comparable to the full-strength attack of an ordinary level five psychic. If it really hits, it can wipe out an entire team in an instant.

But when the attack fell on Chen Wangping, he felt it was very weak, as if someone was giving him a high five. As for the burning sensation that came with the flames, it was first weakened, and then weakened by Chen Wangping's own fire resistance, and it was almost non-existent when he felt it physically.

The defensive form of the Insect King Armor is quite effective!

According to the results of this test, Chen Wangping can now be invincible when facing a level 6 fire-type mutant who only has attack capabilities.
