Chapter 27 Hero's Suit
Zhong Mengfan asked carefully, and I nodded casually, "Okay. But what do you want this mask for?"
"Well, it's probably just like how Ranger-san gave me his mask at the end. Wearing the doctor's mask, becoming a psychic, training, and passing the pro hero exams, it was very meaningful to me."
The Ranger gave Zhong Mengfan the mask in the hope that he could become his successor, and the mask also carries the meaning of inheritance and continuity. As for me, even my identity is fake, so the mask is certainly not an important item.
"It would be a nice souvenir if you like."
Zhong Mengfan seemed very happy. "Thank you, doctor."
I held out my hand again. "Let me see the design of the combat uniform, too."
Zhong Mengfan handed over his communicator. "Doctor, do you have any suggestions?"
I flipped through the draft design page by page. "Well, did you choose dark blue as the main color of the clothes?"
"Yes, what's the problem?"
"I thought that based on your personality and preferences, you would like brighter and more lively colors. The styles of the three combat uniforms are also minimalist." I looked at Zhong Mengfan in confusion.
"Ah, because I remembered that the main color of Mr. Ranger's combat uniform is blue, so I chose a similar color. Doctor, please don't laugh at me. Although I am very weak now, I have regarded inheriting Mr. Ranger's title and becoming a powerful superhero as an important goal in my future life. Although, this may take a very long time to achieve." Zhong Mengfan touched his nose.
"Why would I tease you? Setting a goal is a good thing. Besides, you are the heir to the Ranger, and you will always be one."
Hearing what I said, Zhong Mengfan smiled with dimples. "Hey, doctor, you also seem to prefer dark colors. I think I was influenced by you."
"Oh." I responded lightly.
He then clicked on the functional description of the combat uniform on the blueprint. It looked like just some unremarkable basic defensive attributes, with no special effects attached. For some reason, Minister Zhang, who initially valued the Ranger legacy, hadn't granted Zhong Mengfan the privilege of a superior combat uniform. Zhong Mengfan's initial draft design was the same standard as that of a typical junior hero.
Is it because he is worried that doing so will show too obvious preferential treatment to the newcomer Zhong Mengfan? As the person in charge of A-level heroes, it seems a bit too obvious to suddenly care about the surviving mutants rescued by the ranger.
However, I don't have such concerns. After all, ever since Zhong Mengfan joined the Super Hero Headquarters, I have been his guide and nominal teacher.
So I said, "You still have to choose a style quickly. It takes time to make combat uniforms. Don't you want to wear your own professional hero uniform as soon as possible? Which of these three sets do you like best?"
"Hmm." Zhong Mengfan flipped through the three sets of combat uniforms several times before finally settling on one. "This one has a half-covered mask, much like goggles. It looks even cooler!"
"Okay, send me the design for this one."
"Hey, can't you just check the box and send it in the mailbox?"
"Wait a moment, I need to make some design changes. It would be more convenient to send them to the design department from my communicator." Professional heroes who are below a certain level need to spend hero points to upgrade the functionality of their combat uniforms. Zhong Mengfan is a newcomer with nothing, so of course he has no points to spend on upgrading his combat uniform's attributes, but I can.
After sending me the design, Zhong Mengfan asked, "Doctor, what design do you want to change?"
"Well, based on my experience, if I add some practical features, I won't change the appearance of the combat uniform."
He leaned over and asked curiously, "What are the practical functions?"
I raised my lips slightly. "Secret."
"Hey, why do you need to keep it a secret from me? Isn't this my combat uniform?"
I stroked my chin as I began adding functional notes to the design. Well, first, considering rainy missions and the possibility of entering the water during special periods, the uniforms were given a waterproof coating. They also had thermal insulation, allowing for quick adaptation to inclement weather and extreme cold. To account for the possibility of an unexpected fall from height during combat, hidden glides were added to the sides of the uniforms. This way, if the arms are extended during a fall, the glides automatically deploy, and combined with Zhong Mengfan's own special abilities, they help mitigate the fall.
Maintaining the chosen dark blue primary color, the main material of the combat uniform was changed to a special material that has a certain shielding effect at night. Of course, the cost of the rubber suit made of this material is much more expensive than the basic material.
As I adjusted the design of the combat uniform, I said, "If I tell you right away, it won't be a surprise. Wait until you put it on and then you can study it more slowly."
