Ye Chen took five sets of goblin armor from the fat man, who looked pained. Through his practical combat training, it was clear that the goblin armor was extremely practical and could indeed allow the user to unleash combat power at the fourth or even fifth tier or higher.
However, Ye Chen also noticed the flaw: the hardware met the requirements, but the user's software couldn't keep up.
Those who use these goblin armors are all first- or second-tier goblins. Giving them such armor can indeed give them combat power as high as fourth or fifth tier, but that does not mean they can fight against fourth or fifth-tier enemies.
Reaction speed, combat awareness, combat experience, and so on are all key to winning in battle, which are things that these first and second-tier goblins cannot do.
Ye Xi even brought in a peak Tier 3 Silver Moon Elf to help, and they easily defeated a fully equipped Tier 4 Goblin Armor.
“Just like your half-finished mech, once it reaches a certain level, it starts to place certain demands on the user!” Ye Chen said with a frown as he watched the unconscious goblin being carried out of the armor.
In fantasy worlds, this is a very common problem. Even the nuclear weapons and similar weapons from Earth can only threaten the high-level powerhouses in this world. If it really comes down to a fight, they probably won't even have a chance to make a move.
There is a difference between relying on one's own strength and borrowing external forces. Borrowed strength ultimately does not belong to oneself. No matter how well it is adapted, it will not be as easy to use and one will easily become a sitting duck.
"There's nothing we can do about it. If your level isn't high enough, your physical fitness and reaction speed won't be up to par. But this armor does give them the possibility of fighting beyond their level. You should know that as long as their attack power is high enough, they can take down even the King of Heaven if they find an opportunity!" the fat man said helplessly.
Whether it's goblin armor or unfinished mechs, their flaws are obvious, but that doesn't negate the fact that their powerful firepower gives all users the possibility of fighting against opponents of higher levels.
"Do you have goblin armor in human form?" Ye Chen thought for a moment and then asked.
"I have a set, do you want to try it?" The fat man nodded and asked curiously.
"Send a Tier 3 Silver Moon Elf to try it out, and then give him a Tier 4 opponent!" Ye Chen said to Ye Xi beside him.
The two territories were not far apart, and calling for help was just a matter of a word. Soon, Ye Xi returned with a group of Silver Moon Elves. It wasn't just the two of them, but five third- and fourth-tier powerhouses each.
The Silver Moon Elf's side was short-handed, so she even went to the witch to bring back a few burly men so that Ye Chen could test the combat power that different individuals could unleash.
"Go and have a Tier 3 Silver Moon Elf put on armor, and then Zhu Rong, arrange for a Tier 4 early-stage witch to go up and try it out!" Ye Chen said to the group.
"Alright!" Upon hearing his name called, Zhu Rong waved to a shaman beside him. He had nothing to do in the tribe, and when he heard that Ye Xi wanted to find someone to test the new weapon, he volunteered to come over.
On the other side, at Ye Xi's signal, a sharp-type Silver Moon Elf specializing in archery stepped forward, donned the goblin armor provided by the fat man, and was completely enveloped in it, instantly transforming into a majestic knight.
"I must say, your design is quite impressive! I wonder how effective it is in actual combat?" Ye Chen praised the armor design. Unlike the goblins, the Silver Moon Elf, with her tall figure, really looked like a futuristic warrior in this armor.
"Why don't you give it a try and see?" the fat man chuckled.
"I'm afraid that if I try, I'll die!"
"..."
As they spoke, both sides had taken their positions in the training field. With the referee's command, the fourth-tier witch warriors roared and charged toward their opponents.
There is still a considerable gap between the third and fourth tiers. Just in terms of aura alone, the Silver Moon Elf wearing goblin armor felt a jolt in her heart, her whole body trembled, and her movements became noticeably stiff.
However, it was only for a short while. At this stage, the Silver Moon Elf who has reached the third tier has seen a bit of the world and is not intimidated by the opponent's aura. This Silver Moon Elf has obviously experienced a lot of battles and quickly responded after a brief moment of stunned silence.
His body instinctively tilted to the side, trying to dodge the attack, but he suddenly felt a huge force pushing him from the side, which actually moved him several meters to the side, and the witch warrior's attack naturally missed.
The witch warrior and the moon elf were both stunned. The former did not expect that the other party would be able to dodge her attack after being stunned for so long, even though it was about to hit her. The latter was curious about the strange propulsion force. She knew very well that without this help, she would not have been able to dodge the other party's attack.
The momentary daze was fleeting; the two quickly realized that the goblin armor was working. Boosting was already present in the first-generation goblin armor, so there was no reason for this core function to be removed from the third-generation goblin armor.
"Again!" the witch warrior roared, charging at his opponent once more.
The Wu tribe was warlike, and he was initially bored because his opponent was weaker than him. But now that his opponent had managed to dodge his attacks, he naturally became more interested.
Seeing the enemy charging at her again, the Silver Moon Elf did not arrogantly confront them head-on. She had only just put on this armor and needed time to get used to its auxiliary functions. Therefore, facing the fierce witch warriors, she turned around and chose to run away.
As she took a step, that familiar boost reappeared, and the already agile and sharp Moon Elf suddenly unleashed a speed far exceeding her own, making it difficult even for a fourth-tier Witch Warrior to catch up.
"This speed is already close to the upper-middle level of the fourth tier, right?" Ye Chen said, looking at the match in the arena.
A Tier 3 warrior, once clad in armor, can achieve speed comparable to a Tier 4 warrior in the upper-middle range. This improvement alone is already quite remarkable, not to mention the enormous potential for further enhancement.
"Almost, even a bit faster, but still some distance from the peak of the fourth tier. Your Moon Elf is really impressive. I've also tried testing with the few third-tier dwarves I have, and at most they only managed to reach the speed of the early fourth tier." The fat man nodded, sounding slightly excited. He was already considering whether to borrow people from Ye Chen for future tests. The difference in physical abilities between the two sides was quite significant!
