"Black Armor, what is that? And what do you need so much steel for?"
Although I don't know what the Black Armor is, anything that can be compared to the Three Treasures Beads is definitely not simple.
Also, why does Lu Renjia need steel?
100 tons is not much for a country, and it can't even compare to a generation of super genes.
In fact, Lu Renjia also understood that 100 tons was actually very little.
However, all these steel materials were only used to make Ru Hua.
Not many are needed because even a small number of Ru Hua wouldn't be very effective against the gluttonous army.
Ordinary materials are ultimately not good enough for formal occasions.
Upon hearing Elder Huang's question, Lu Renjia replied, "The Black Armor and the Three Treasures Pearl are both high-level protective magic artifacts."
"The Three Treasures Orb is passively activated, but its advantage lies in its long lifespan. The Black Armor can be activated both actively and passively, but its lifespan is slightly shorter than that of the Three Treasures Orb."
Lu Renjia took out the Black Armor and placed it in front of Elder Huang.
It looks like just a bracelet, but it is actually a high-level protective magic item.
Moreover, Lu Renjia made many improvements, and the Black Fighting Armor could be activated without the need for Qi.
It can be used simply by binding someone with blood and establishing a mutual understanding.
When these things were told to Elder Huang, he immediately pierced his finger and dripped blood onto the Black Fighting Armor.
The moment he got his hands on it, a thought flashed through his mind, and a black suit of armor instantly covered it.
The black armor was about to solidify, but Elder Huang could not feel any weight at all.
"What an amazing thing! It can actually be controlled at will."
Old Huang was very fond of the Black Fighting Armor, after all, wearing this thing was like having an extra life!
But a mere 100 tons of steel—the cost seems far too small.
Lu Renjia seemed to understand what Huang Lao was thinking, and chuckled, saying, "Actually, you don't need to think so much."
"In general, I am also a member of the country. The transaction is just to get what I want right now."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Huang's doubts were greatly alleviated, but he still raised his own questions.
"Young friend Lu, what do you need this steel for?"
Lu Renjia had no intention of hiding Ru Hua. He snapped his fingers, and Ru Hua suddenly came out of the kitchen with a cup of tea.
"Ru Hua, the doll I made. If I have enough materials, I can build an army of Ru Hua."
"They're all dolls; you wouldn't feel bad if they got damaged on the battlefield. Don't you think dolls are more cost-effective than living people, Mr. Huang?"
Looking at Ru Hua, who was no different from an ordinary person, Huang Lao and the others couldn't help but be shocked.
If Lu Renjia hadn't reminded them that these were dolls, they would have thought they were real people.
Seeing their surprised expressions, Lu Renjia said confidently, "Actually, besides trading with you today, I also want to cooperate with you."
"You provide the materials, I'll provide the technology. Let's build an army of puppets to defend against the alien invasion."
"I think you, Elder Huang, understand better than I what the puppet army means compared to other armies!"
Of course, Huang Lao knew what this meant: it meant they no longer needed to use sheer numbers to confront the high-tech overwhelming force of the alien civilization.
Although Dukao's Black Wall plan was good, the number of personnel was too small to cover every battlefield.
However, the puppet army proposed by Lu Renjia is different. As long as there are enough materials, a substitute army can be built.
Moreover, it can cover every battlefield and does not need to fear casualties.
Seeing that Elder Huang was interested, Lu Renjia said, "Let's put the cooperation aside for now and talk about the second deal."
Old Huang agreed immediately, and the transaction contract reappeared, which he signed without hesitation.
Lu Renjia readily gave 1,000 Black Armor, since this item could only withstand a portion of the Taotie civilization's attacks.
For warriors of advanced civilizations like angels and demons, the Three Jewels and the Black Armor are of little use.
Afterwards, Elder Huang discussed the cooperation with Lu Renjia and then left with his men.
Qi Lin did not leave immediately, because she was not qualified to participate in national affairs.
Looking at the somewhat flustered Qi Lin, Lu Renjia joked, "Officer Qi Lin, is there anything else? Are you going to treat me to dinner again?"
Qi Lin's reserve dissipated considerably, and she said generously, "Of course, I'll treat you to dinner. After all, you're my savior."
"Also, just call me Qilin. Calling me 'Officer' all the time makes me feel embarrassed!"
"Let's go then, I haven't eaten anything today!"
Lu Renjia didn't stand on ceremony with Qi Lin and shamelessly went to freeload a meal.
Meanwhile, upon returning to the base, Elder Huang immediately ordered his men to test the Three Treasure Pearls and the Black Armor obtained through the trade.
Fortunately, none of the 2,000 high-level protective magical artifacts had any problems.
Old Huang was very glad that he and Lu Renjia had made two deals, which were equivalent to adding at least 2,000 lives to the Dragon Kingdom.
Because high-level protective amulets are reusable, not disposable consumables.
Suddenly, someone walked up to Elder Huang and asked, "Elder Huang, are we really going to cooperate with Lu Renjia to form a puppet army?"
"Perhaps it's because I'm judging others by my own petty standards."
"But is it really okay if we don't completely control such a terrifying army?"
Mr. Huang had certainly considered this question, but he didn't have many options.
The invasion of the Taotie army was inevitable.
If a way to reduce casualties is found, Mr. Huang is very willing to implement it.
Although the army of puppets posed a great potential danger, he trusted his intuition.
"Don't bring this up again. I have my own decision. For the sake of the country and the people, I must take this risk."
Despite the objections, Huang suppressed them all by himself and began preparing materials to hand over to Lu Renjia, so that he could build a puppet army.
Huang Lao also sent one of the three precious beads to Dukao, hoping that he could crack the mystery and mass-produce them.
On the other side, Lu Renjia and Qi Lin had a meal together.
After giving Qilin another set of black armor, he returned home.
After a thorough inspection revealed no surveillance, the first-generation super gene was retrieved.
With the Eye of True Sight activated, news of a generation of super genes appeared in his eyes.
[Item: Generation 1 Super Gene]
[Genetic type: None]
[Evaluation: A super gene without any unique features, but when fused, it can enhance the physique of a generation of super soldiers and grant them a lifespan of 1000 years.]
"A super gene without any unique features? Could it be that Ducão has awakened this kind of super gene?"
Lu Renjia's idea is based on the fact that Dukao has lived for over 1,000 years but has never demonstrated any strength.
It is very likely that it is a super gene without any special characteristics, with a long lifespan but low combat power.
However, this is already quite good for Lu Renjia now.
"System, how can I fuse with a first-generation super gene?"
[Ding! The host can purchase a low-level fusion card (priced at 10 points).]
Lu Renjia earned 20 points from two transactions today and immediately bought a low-level fusion card without hesitation.
He immediately fused with a generation of super genes and became a true generation of super warrior.
However, this first-generation super soldier possesses more attack methods than the second-generation super soldier.
In the vast expanse of space on Earth, a golden-haired angel is on patrol.
Suddenly, she noticed a faint energy fluctuation somewhere in Juxia City.
"Interesting! It's amazing that a super soldier could be born on this remote and impoverished planet!"
Angel Yan's lips curled up slightly, as if she had discovered something interesting.
