He Fang looked up at the tall Min Zhizhou. Although the man was dying when they first met, he now looked very energetic. He even seemed to be eager to go back to the Nightmare Forest to find his helmet.
"Why do you have to use plants to make armor?" He Fang didn't understand. "Isn't it better to use metal?"
"Metal is such a precious thing that not everyone can get it," Min Zhizhou replied.
He Fang blinked.
What a realistic answer this is...
They looked at each other in silence.
At Min Zhizhou's feet there are quite a lot of discarded metals that he has sorted out as garbage.
Min Zhizhou's expression suddenly became subtle.
"Feel free to use it. Don't be polite." He Fang said immediately.
Min Zhizhou's expression changed unpredictably, and he finally said helplessly: "I don't know the craftsmanship of making armor."
He Fang is silent, this is the truth.
"Or you can give me your plant armor. I will take it back and let the research institute study it to see if I can try making it with metal first." He Fang suggested.
Min Zhizhou shook his head: "The production process of metal armor and plant armor is completely different."
"What's the difference?" He Fang asked.
"The metal armor can be equipped with a light-emitting device. Once it is planted with seeds, it can use its ability to emit light from inside and outside to destroy the Nightmare seeds."
"What about the plant armor?"
Min Zhizhou's expression was solemn. He pursed his lips and uttered a word: "Burn."
"……?"
"Once infected by the Nightmare Beast seeds, people cannot get out of the armor. Once some of its body is exposed, it will be planted immediately. Metal can glow, but the only way for plant armor to glow is to burn it." Min Zhizhou's voice was extremely dull.
He Fang was full of disbelief: "After burning the outside, can the people inside still be alive?"
Min Zhizhou nodded, then shook his head.
Is this possible or not?
After the surface of the plant armor was baked, the nightmare seeds attached to the surface of the armor died, and the people inside were almost half-cooked.
"Isn't this too unbelievable?" Being roasted to death?
"No, plant armor has a multi-layer structure." Min Zhizhou obviously didn't know how to explain it more clearly.
"Anyway, it's safer to use everything in metal." He Fang nodded firmly.
Min Zhizhou wanted to advise them to save costs, but when he thought about the precious metals everywhere in the garbage dump, he shut up.
There seems to be no shortage of metal here.
He Fang counted the things he needed carefully: "In short, it must be tightly sealed, must be able to withstand the parasitism of seeds, must be able to emit strong light, and what else?"
"We need a breathing hole," Min Zhizhou said. "There must be a filter mouth. The Nightmare Beast seed is too small. Once it enters through the breath, the person will be quickly controlled."
"Could it be that the Nightmare Beast seed has its own thoughts?" He Fang was stunned.
"No, they only have the instinct to spread." Min Zhizhou immediately comforted He Fang, "After parasitizing a human, the human will immediately turn into a nightmare beast. The only purpose of a nightmare beast is to spread its seeds. At this time, the human's thinking will change. They don't know that they are parasitized, but think that they are originally nightmare beasts."
"It's amazing." He Fang exclaimed sincerely, this is about changing thinking and controlling the mind!
Min Zhizhou smiled bitterly: "It is indeed very powerful, otherwise how could humans survive so lingeringly now?"
"I think the most amazing thing is that it can parasitize metal." He Fang touched his chin seriously.
"We still don't know the cause of the Nightmare Seed. We only know that it can parasitize anything man-made. The seeds cannot parasitize natural metals, but they can parasitize metals that have been shaped by humans." Min Zhizhou said.
"This kind of seed... is quite picky about food." He Fang complained in his heart.
"A scholar once said that the existence of seeds may be to destroy all life on Earth and restart the Earth." Min Zhizhou showed a bitter expression and looked up at the sky. "Sometimes I also wonder if Mother Earth deliberately wants to eliminate us and dropped the seeds."
He Fang was speechless.
He Fang couldn't empathize with N-PC's feelings.
He was just playing games, and when he turned off the games he wouldn't have to face the end of the world.
"Then shall I go back to the research institute?" He Fang stood up and patted the dirt off his clothes. He actually patted off the dust. Even such details were done so meticulously.
"I'm sorry, this is all I can offer you right now." Min Zhizhou held the huge plant armor, "All armor manufacturing techniques are monopolized by mobile cities, and ordinary people have no chance to learn these techniques."
"It doesn't matter. If it really doesn't work, just buy some and disassemble them for research." He Fang stretched out his hand to take the huge plant armor.
Boom——
He Fang looked up in confusion, and found himself lying on the ground with his armor.
He Fang stood up again, tried to slow down his breathing, got ready, bent down to grasp the gap in the plant armor, and lifted it up with force...
The armor threads did not move.
He Fang looked confused.
"It's quite heavy. It would be difficult to move without professional training." Min Zhizhou immediately stepped forward to comfort He Fang, "And I'm bigger in stature, and the armor I'm using is a large one, so it's even heavier."
He Fang opened Min Zhizhou's attribute table again with an expressionless look. All the attributes on it had been restored to his peak.
Then He Fang reopened the attribute table of the old man who was basking in the sun with a palm-leaf fan.
That's right...
Min Zhizhou's peak attributes are not as good as the boss's low attributes.
Then why can't he lift the things that Min Zhizhou can lift?
"Master." He Fang came up to the old master, "Can you lift that thing?"
"Hey, hey, okay, okay, okay!" The eldest grandfather's face was full of joy because of He Fang's talk. He stood up tremblingly and took out a crutch from the side.
Min Zhizhou didn't understand why He Fang did this: "City Lord, isn't it a bit too much to let an old man carry the armor?"
Even though Min Zhizhou knew that he was much worse than the people in the city, he was still a big boss after all.
The old man was wearing a white sweatshirt and shorts. He had a Mediterranean style of graying hair and a thick beard. His eyes looked like they were not working well. He staggered with every step, and his two skinny legs trembled so much that he seemed about to fall down when he walked.
He Fang frowned: "Now I just want to know if this game is too harsh on me."
Min Zhizhou didn't understand what He Fang meant, so he could only watch with He Fang as the old man walked three steps and took a breath before reaching the armor. The old man bent down...
"Lord City Lord, let's just forget it. If you accidentally sprain your waist..."
Bang!
Under the gazes of He Fang and Min Zhizhou, the eldest master lifted up the armor with one hand.
The eldest master turned around with a happy face and smiled happily at He Fang, saying, "I lifted it up."
Min Zhizhou: “…”
He Fang: “…”
Confirmed...
He Fang is secretly criticizing.
He used to think Min Zhizhou was trash, but he never thought that he was actually the trashiest person in the entire city!
Is there something wrong with this game setting?
He Fang was angry and went offline.
Having experienced He Fang's sudden disappearance once, Min Zhizhou was able to face it calmly.
But at this moment, the smile on the boss' face was frozen, and he stood there in a daze, holding the huge armor in his hand.
Min Zhizhou vaguely felt that something was wrong with the old man, so he took a step forward to help him: "Master? Are you okay?"
Min Zhizhou treats the elderly with great respect. It is rare to live to this age in the mobile city, so when he sees an elderly, he treats him with cherishment as if he were a rare species.
However, the trembling old man put down his armor, walked away from Min Zhizhou, and then trembled back to sit under the big tree.
After a while, he started sobbing.
She cried so sadly, as if she had lost a child.
The crowd watching the whole process immediately came forward to comfort the old man: "Grandpa, don't cry, the Creator must have left because something happened suddenly. You did a good job, really very well."
The eldest grandfather was crying and sobbing, looking very pitiful.
"Dad, what's wrong?" At this time, a man ran over anxiously, grabbed the person next to him and asked, "What's wrong with my dad? Why is he crying?"
"Hey, just now the Creator came over and asked your dad to lift that big piece of wood. Your dad did it, and then the Creator left with a bad look on his face. Your dad probably felt that he didn't do a good job and made the Creator angry, so he's sad now." Someone on the side immediately explained to the man.
The man was stunned when he heard this. He immediately bent down and said to the old man, "Dad, don't be discouraged. Let's find out why the Creator doesn't like it. When the Creator comes, we will lift it again for him to see. He will definitely be satisfied! Don't cry here. Let's practice more!"
The old man finally stopped crying and looked at his son with sobs.
"Dad, no matter what, you have been given a mission by the Creator. Others have not received such treatment. Let's go and lift that wood again. We will definitely lift it to the satisfaction of the Creator!"
The old man looked back at the wood again and finally nodded with grievance.
Min Zhizhou looked at the old man with a complicated expression as he staggered back with the support of his son, lifting and putting down his extremely heavy armor, unable to utter a word.
He didn't have enough adjectives to describe the bizarre scene before him.
The extremely valuable armor he spent time and energy to buy was described by others as wood...
At this time the old man's son stood in front of him.
The old man's son nodded to him, his attitude was much kinder than others. The old man's son showed a somewhat formal smile, with a hint of request: "Excuse me, how much does it cost to rent your wood for a day?"
Min Zhizhou: “…”
