"What the hell is this!" After Li Xiu put on the magic costume, he looked down at it and his eyes twitched.
He cannot be considered a true obsessive-compulsive disorder patient, and his aesthetic taste has not reached a very high level. He can accept ordinary styles, and even tattered clothes, he can accept them calmly.
But now, the magic suit he was wearing made Li Xiu feel that his soul was covered with a layer of shameful dirt.
This magic suit is not a traditional armor style. It looks like a set of clothes, but this set of clothes is connected together, including shoes, hat and goggles.
Li Xiu can accept all of these. Even if you give him a complete set of Kamen Rider costumes, he can accept it calmly.
The key point is that no matter how you dress up, your whole set has to look like a men's style. What does it mean that your whole set looks like Sailor Moon or Balala the Fairies?
Of course, this magic costume does not expose the thighs, the whole body is covered, but it is obvious that there are over-the-knee boots and long gloves. What does this mean?
To say that it is similar to Sailor Moon is indeed a bit of an exaggeration. At least this thing does not have a skirt. The lower body is made up of boots and tights. The outer skirt looks no different from a skirt. The tights between the skirt and the boots look like that. There is also a scarf-like thing around the neck.
The only thing that comforted Li Xiu was that the style of the hat was somewhat similar to a motorcycle helmet. Overall, this magic costume was like a female version of the Kamen Rider costume.
The pure white magic suit shows different colors of white when viewed from different angles, which gives a very strange feeling.
Li Xiu looked at himself in the mirror and immediately removed the magic armor, restoring it to the shape of a bracelet.
"Why did you take it off so quickly? The test hasn't started yet?" The old official stepped forward and said.
"Old sir, I have confirmed that the magic costume can be used for you. You can study the rest by yourself." There was really no way Li Xiu could go out wearing such a feminine magic costume.
"What's the point of my research? No one can activate it except you. How can I test it?" The old official was a little angry.
"Then there's nothing I can do. You made me swear at the beginning that I would never think of taking your magic suit." Li Xiu said quickly.
The old official knew very well that Li Xiu didn't take the oath seriously at all, otherwise he wouldn't have been so willing to test the magic suit in the first place.
"Li Xiu, let's talk alone." The old official knew where the problem lay, and patiently pulled Li Xiu into his own office, closed the door, and pulled the blinds.
"Old official, I really can't help you..." Li Xiu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the old official waving his hand.
The old official looked at Li Xiu seriously and said, "Do you know why this magic suit is designed like this?"
"How would I know? I remember when it was a semi-finished product, it was clearly a masculine dress. How did it become like this?" Li Xiu said.
"When I was completing this magic suit, the situation was very dangerous..." The old official slowly recounted the situation at that time.
When Li Xiu heard that the magic equipment and the light energy furnace were about to explode, he could imagine how bad the situation was. Once this level of light energy exploded, the entire research institute would probably be destroyed in an instant, and even the entire Changsheng City would be affected.
"I'm already this old, so if I die, I die. After all, this is my work, and I'm willing to die for my work. But if something really happened at that time, all the people in the institute would have to be buried with me, which is a result I cannot accept. I don't want to die and still owe so many favors that I can't repay... Fortunately, someone stood up at that time..." When the old official said this, his expression was already very heavy.
"If even you can't handle it, who has such great ability?" Li Xiu was a little curious.
"When the situation was about to get out of control and the light energy furnace was about to fall, Huamei stood up and used her magic suit and flesh and blood to block the light energy furnace from falling. She supported it until the magic suit was formed, and the light energy in the light energy furnace was completely input into the magic suit..."
The old official sighed and said, "In the end, the magic costume was completed, but Huamei's life was gone."
"Thrush?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned.
He still remembered Huamei, a magic costumer who came from Wangsheng Town and was one of the few magic costumers with special spiritual awareness.
Li Xiu had gone to see her before, hoping that she could stand on his side and help him stabilize the technician team.
But Huamei refused at that time. Li Xiu had a general impression of Huamei at that time. He thought she was just an ordinary female demon and didn't have much other impression.
Unexpectedly, Huamei would sacrifice herself to help Laoguaner and others complete the magic costume. This was different from Li Xiu's previous impression of Huamei.
"It is only because of Huamei's sacrifice that we were able to complete this magic suit. Otherwise, when the light energy furnace fell, everything would have been over. It would have been impossible to find so many materials to start over again. To be honest, I secretly kept some of the materials you gave me before for the manufacture of this magic suit. It is almost impossible to find substitutes for those materials..."
The old official sighed and continued, "You didn't see the miserable state of Huamei at that time. The magic suit was damaged, and her flesh and blood were stuck to the light energy furnace. When it was finally taken off, her body was already burnt. In fact, I don't know why the magic suit has become what it is now, but I think, maybe it's because Huamei used her own life to create this magic suit, and this magic suit has become spiritual, so it has become what it is now."
"Why did she do this?" Li Xiu really couldn't figure out why someone like Huamei would do such a thing.
The old official said sternly: "When Huamei rushed over, she already knew that she might not come back alive this time, so she said something at that time."
"What did she say?" Li Xiu asked.
"She said that you are the benefactor of the fish people in Wangsheng Town and the hope of the magic armor masters. With this set of magic armor from you, the magic armor masters will be able to truly stand on the same level as the trial-takers in the future. There is hope that Wangsheng Town and the fish people will no longer be inferior to others." The old official said slowly.
"Is it necessary?" Li Xiu closed his eyes and sighed slightly.
"It's not necessary for you, but for Huamei, who was born as a fishman, she is willing to sacrifice everything for it." The old official looked at Li Xiu calmly and said, "I have said everything I need to say. It's up to you whether you are willing to use this magic suit or not."
Li Xiu closed his eyes and recalled Huamei's appearance, but he had never looked at Huamei carefully, and never even took her to heart. At this moment, he could not remember what she looked like. He only remembered that she seemed to be a pretty woman.
After a long time, Li Xiu opened his eyes and said, "Go on."
The old official nodded slightly: "Then continue, everything else is easy to deal with. The most important thing now is that you have to try and see if this magic suit can enter the trial field."
Li Xiu didn't say anything else. Huamei sacrificed his own life for the fishmen in Shengsheng Town. The strange magic outfit he wore was nothing in comparison.
Wearing the bracelet, Li Xiu and a group of researchers went to Wangsheng Town and soon arrived at a trial gate.
Li Xiu looked at Lao Guaner and Professor Xu, and they both nodded to him. Li Xiu activated the gem bracelet again, put on the magic costume, and then walked towards the trial door that had been opened by the researcher with inlaid gems.
After Li Xiu entered the trial gate, Lao Guaner and others stared nervously at the slowly closing trial gate. If they succeeded, it would be a historic moment. If they failed, they would have to start all over again. They didn't know when they would have such an opportunity to get close to success again.
For people of Lao Guan'er's age, it is probably difficult for them to wait for that day in their lifetime.
Li Xiu appeared in the trial field. He looked down at his body and was immediately overjoyed.
"Success!" Li Xiu looked at the magic costume on his body that had not disappeared, and was happy for the old official and the others.
After a lifetime of hard work, it finally paid off.
"The old official really did it. This is a cross-era achievement and is worthy of being recorded in history." When the trial began, Li Xiu subconsciously tried to control the magic suit.
The magic suit began to light up, and it actually flew out with Li Xiu's body.
Li Xiu was extremely shocked. Being able to bring the magic suit into the trial field was already a huge success. And the power of this magic suit could actually be used in the trial field. This was too strong.
You should know that even the contract rewarded by the trial field cannot be used in the trial field. The magic suit can actually be used in the trial field. This is undoubtedly a cheating advantage for other trial participants.
Li Xiu immediately tested controlling the magic suit and using various magic suit skills, and found that there were no restrictions. The more Li Xiu tried, the more he liked this magic suit.
"It's so powerful!" While completing the trial, Li Xiu roughly tested out the light energy that this magic suit could emit, which was in no way inferior to the power of a god. Wearing this magic suit, Li Xiu even felt that he could fight against Guan Jinghao in the fallen state of a god.
Li Xiu did not continue the test. He knew that Lao Guaner and Professor Xu must be extremely nervous, and now they were more qualified to enjoy the joy of success.
Taking off the trial-taker bracelet, Li Xiu left the trial field.
"How is it?" When the old officials saw Li Xiu coming out, they immediately surrounded him. Their eyes were both eager and a little scared, as if they were family members waiting outside the operating room for an extremely difficult surgery to be over.
"It's done." As Li Xiu said these two words, a group of researchers with an average age of over 70 years old shouted and yelled excitedly like children, and some even jumped up.
"It's done...it's really done..." Instead, it was the old official who stood there motionless for a while, just repeating this sentence for a long time.
"Mr. Guan, you succeeded, you really succeeded..." Professor Xu's eyes turned red and he wiped his eyes secretly.
Looking at a group of old people who looked like children, Li Xiu seemed to be infected by them and felt much better.
"Li Xiu, give it a name. If you want to continue using the name of the Light Speed series, that's fine. I can guarantee that this magic suit will never die at the speed of light." The old official suddenly said.
"This is your magic suit, and only you can name it." Li Xiu shook his head and said.
He is just a driver, and the old officials are the creators of this magic suit.
"Just name it if I tell you to. Don't you know I'm bad at naming things? I ask you to name it for me, and you are not allowed to refuse." The old official said stubbornly.
"Then let's call her Huamei." Li Xiu touched the magic costume on his body and had secretly decided in his heart that he would cherish the Huamei magic costume and would never let it be damaged easily.
The old official was slightly startled, looked at Li Xiu with a complicated expression, then nodded and said, "Okay, then let's call her Huamei."
Li Xiu originally wanted to go back to the research institute to talk with Lao Guaner and the others, but unfortunately he ran out of time. Lao Jia came with the president's order and asked Li Xiu to go to the City Lord's Mansion.
Li Xiu knew it was time to go to Tianzhihai, so he had to say goodbye to Lao Guaner and others and follow Lao Jia to the City Lord's Mansion.
"It's time for us to leave. Do you need to take anything with you?" the president asked Li Xiu.
"I want to go back and say goodbye to them." Li Xiu said.
"That's not necessary. I have already asked someone to notify them to see you off at the trial gate." said the president.
Li Xiu thought about it and realized that he was not a person who liked to face separation.
"Before you go, there are a few things you need to remember." The president stared at Li Xiu and continued.
"You say." Li Xiu listened calmly.
"On the way there, you have to listen to me in everything. Once you arrive at Tianzhihai, you will need to act according to circumstances. You don't need to stick to rules or face. You have only one goal, and that is to win. Nothing else matters." said the president.
"What do you mean?" Li Xiu felt that the president's words were full of hidden meaning.
"You'll know when the time comes. You just need to remember that brute force is not the only way to solve problems." The president was unwilling to say more.
After the president had some things prepared, he took Li Xiu to Wangsheng Town.
Sure enough, in Wangsheng Town, there were already many people waiting to see them off. From Changsheng City to Wangsheng Town, there were people seeing them off on both sides of the way.
However, Changsheng City and Gyro Mountain are basically inhabited by people from the major families and the other six Changsheng groups. In addition to the fishmen of Wangsheng Town, there are also members of the technician group in Wangsheng Town.
"Captain, I hope to fight with you when you come back." Jing Li returned from the Trial Gate where he was guarding, obviously coming to see Li Xiu off.
"Okay." Li Xiu nodded and agreed.
"Chief, you can go with peace of mind. If you really can't come back, I will take on the position of chief of the technician team." Jiu Xiaoyun said with a smile.
"Then it all depends on you from now on." Li Xiu also laughed.
Only the two of them understood the true meaning of Jiuxiaoyun's words.
All those who were on good terms with Li Xiu came forward to say goodbye, but Li Xiu did not see Li Ming'er and Li Qingyi.
"It's better not to come." Li Xiu sighed in his heart.
When they arrived at the trial gate, Ah Fei suddenly walked up to Li Xiu and said, "Are you serious about what you said?"
"What?" Li Xiu was slightly stunned and didn't react for a moment.
"Whether you take it seriously or not, I take it seriously. I'll wait for you to come back and give me an answer." After saying this, Ah Fei turned around and left without waiting for Li Xiu to answer.
It took Li Xiu a while to react and realize what Ah Fei meant. His expression suddenly turned strange.
"Chief, you usually keep quiet, is that okay?" Sha Chu said with a smile.
"Why are you back?" Li Xiu was slightly stunned.
Sha Chu should be in the City of Light at this time. Li Xiu did not tell her the time when he would go to the Sea of Heaven. She rushed back at this time. Obviously someone had informed her in advance, but she didn't know who this person was.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Chu Jun walked back from behind Sha Chu.
Li Xiu couldn't help but frown secretly. Almost all the people close to him had returned. If it was the president who notified them, then that was a bit intriguing.
Wan Chaochun brought Wan Chaoxin and Ba Ye to see them off. They first saluted the president and then chatted with Li Xiu for a few words.
"Fourth brother, don't worry, this trip will surely turn danger into safety and disaster into blessing..." said the Eighth Master with a smile.
Wan Chaochun didn't say anything, but just told Li Xiu to be careful. There seemed to be worry between his brows, but he was unwilling to show it.
The six general directors and Vice President Han Minghui also came to see him off, but they were mainly there to see off the presidents, and seeing Li Xiu off was just a side job.
Surprisingly, after Han Minghui saluted the president, she actually walked up to Li Xiu and said with a smile: "You must come back."
"Don't worry, I will keep my promise to you." Li Xiu said.
Han Minghui said solemnly: "I really want that thing, but you may not believe it when I tell you. Even if you don't have that thing, I hope you can come back alive."
"Why?" Li Xiu was really surprised.
"Without you, this Changshengtian is indeed less fun." Han Minghui said with a smile, and it was unclear whether she was telling the truth.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Li Xiu and the president walked to the trial gate together, but the president did not order anyone to use the trial badge to open the door.
"Who are you waiting for, President?" Li Xiu asked doubtfully.
"We are indeed waiting for someone. He should be here soon." The president said lightly.
Li Xiu had no choice but to wait. After a while, he saw a streak of light flying towards him in the sky. Li Xiu looked closely and found that it was actually a broken knife.
Bang!
The broken knife was stuck in front of Li Xiu. Li Xiu looked at the broken knife, then raised his head and shouted in the direction where the broken knife came from: "Old Knife, what do you mean by giving me a broken knife when I leave? Are you going to end my relationship with me?"
"Cut off your head. I, an old man, don't like giving things away. My knife is as sharp as a knife. If you have anything to say, come back to me." The voice of Lao Dao was heard from the sky.
Li Xiu smiled and said nothing more. If someone like Lao Dao had no feelings for him, he wouldn't have come to see him off specially.
The president then had people use the trial badge to swipe open the trial gate. As they swiped open the trial gate again and again, Li Xiu's gaze swept through the sea of people who were seeing him off, looking at the familiar faces of the technician team members and the magic outfit masters one by one.
Suddenly, Li Xiu's eyes widened and his face was full of disbelief.
"Fuck you...old official..." Li Xiu almost cursed out loud on the spot.
In the last row of the magic armor master camp, Li Xiu saw a female magic armor master. Although Li Xiu had forgotten what Huamei looked like, he immediately remembered it when he saw that face.
The female magic costumer was obviously Huamei. She was standing there fine, without any injuries on her body, and she looked in good health.
"It's definitely Huamei, there's no mistake about it!" Li Xiu glared at the old official fiercely, but the old official had already turned his face away and didn't even look at Li Xiu.
Li Xiu wanted to say something, but he was already pulled into the trial gate by the president.
