Ka Xiu immediately started testing, wanting to see how effective this level of skin hardening was. A dull thumping sound soon came from the secret room, about a few minutes later.
He came to a rough conclusion.
In the normal state, that is, when Ka Xiu does not deliberately use his energy, the Stone Armor Skill can increase his defense power by four layers. In the full burst state, the Stone Armor Skill can increase Ka Xiu's defense power by 80%.
A little bit is doubled!
This is no small matter.
You know, Ka Xiu who has not practiced hard qigong before can block the shooting of small firearms and only break his skin. With this 81% increase, small firearms may not even be able to penetrate his skin, and light machine guns and automatic rifles may not be a problem.
Card repair is equivalent to wearing a body armor anytime and anywhere.
Of course, epidermal hardening is not just bulletproof.
As for the slashing and stabbing attacks of cold weapons, it can effectively resist the heavy blows of blunt weapons. It is equivalent to wearing a universal leather armor.
Moreover, this is only the effect of light armor.
If he can reach the level of heavy armor, Kaxiu's physical defense might make another qualitative leap.
It has to be said that certain techniques are also very effective.
The level of proficiency in focusing on one aspect is naturally not comparable in general terms. Skills have their own unique advantages.
On an open field.
Card Xiu broke away from the fighting frame and immediately performed a simple set of wind elephant fists. As the fists and feet moved, the slight discomfort caused by the changes in the body was also eliminated. The Eye monsters said that it was caused by too much improvement in a short period of time.
The side effects were very small on Ka Xiu, and even faintly disappeared.
One reason is that Ka Xiu has actually been studying the Stone Armor Kung Fu in the past six months and has been prepared for it. The other reason is that his second blood-accelerated physical state and the rapid improvement of hard qigong caused all the changes in his skin and muscles.
be mastered.
Five minutes later, on the gray road of Black Rain Villa.
A tall man in a cloak walked quickly, with the hem of his cloak floating slightly. Through the gaps in the cloak, you could vaguely see the strong muscles underneath, as well as a layer of gray-white stone.
the next day.
Black Rain Villa, in a simple and dark house.
"How much do you want? Although the sticky oil potion is not a precious thing, each bottle is worth at least one thousand federal coins. If you can buy more than five bottles, I can give you a 10% discount, how about it?"
The man said slowly.
His hair was disheveled and his clothes were sloppy. He looked to be in his forties and had a dark pipe in his mouth.
"Give me 30% off."
The customer in front of me made a low voice and bargained for a price.
"No, I need less..."
"I'll buy ten bottles and get a 30% discount."
"make a deal!"
The man reached out his hand at the speed of light and shook Card Xiu's hand.
Then, he took out a small box. Inside the box were ten transparent bottles, each bottle was about half the size of a fist. Inside was a viscous liquid with a bluish-black color.
Although all the bottles were covered, there was still an unpleasant smell emanating from the box, like marsh gas.
"A total of ten bottles of strong oil potion, benefiting from 7,000 alliance coins!"
A philistine smile appeared on the man's face.
Among the Eternal Strangers, there are very few ordinary transactions that use Dark Source. Because it is too luxurious to exchange Dark Source for money or ordinary material enjoyment.
Ordinary Markers simply don't have the strength to complete additional tasks. It is extremely difficult for them to complete the regular tasks that occur every three months, with a narrow escape. And a low-level regular task only involves one or two Dark Sources, which is pitiful.
In order to survive the next mission, most of the Eternal Strangers will use the Dark Source to strengthen their own abilities.
Ordinary transactions between imprinters still use money to purchase.
In this era, seven thousand federal dollars was not a small amount. Its purchasing power was like the pound sterling during the Industrial Revolution. This many federal dollars were enough to buy a small manor.
As for where does Ka Xiu’s money come from?
Of course, it comes from the missions of crazy hunting of dark creatures. In order to better enter the city and hunt humans, some dark creatures will use their own means to obtain a large amount of money and integrate into the upper class society, creating a noble identity and disguise themselves.
And after Ka Xiu killed these guys, he naturally took whatever he wanted. After all, the gold belt of murder and arson...
He has plenty of money, a mere seven thousand is nothing.
In the room, Ka Xiu reached into his arms and quickly took out a stack of banknotes and stuffed them into the man's hand. He took the box handed to him and asked: "I heard you have...
"
Twenty minutes later.
A figure in a cloak held an umbrella and carried a huge mahogany box in his left hand, walking step by step into the rain.
rear.
A middle-aged man with a smile like a chrysanthemum on his face waved his hands enthusiastically: "I will notify you as soon as possible if there is something good! The boss has recognized my signature, which is called Melancholy Rose Mix..."
In the afternoon, a shop in Black Rain Villa.
A Marker is hanging a hard shield on the wall. This shield was recently made in medieval style.
It appears as an inverted triangle, with arcs on both sides expanding outward.
There is a ferocious ax symbol in the middle of the shield.
Suddenly, there was a sound of low footsteps outside.
A tall man walked in.
"How can I help you? Sir."
The imprinter put down the white cloth and walked over quickly.
"Iron scale armor, mace, fighting axe, flail, large scimitar, Turak sword, swift sword... Forget it, give me a copy of all these cold weapons. Please send me crossbows..."
Listening to the words of the customer in front of him, the imprinter's eyes lit up.
The big order has arrived.
Two days later, the largest training room in the crossbow stream.
There were constant sounds of banging and banging weapons clashing inside.
A scimitar slashed diagonally in mid-air.
There was a flash of silver light.
clang!
Two thick fingers clamped the blade.
The man wielding the sword suddenly pulled back hard, but he couldn't pull the scimitar back no matter what, so he had no choice but to give up.
He let go of the handle of the knife and shook his head with a wry smile.
"Twilight, these are all the moves of the Keyum Scimitar Technique that I have practiced. As for the more, it is my fault that I am not good at learning..."
"It's okay, thank you Mr. Tusi for your help."
Ka Xiu released his fingers and handed the scimitar back again.
Then he took out a small stack of banknotes from his arms: "This is the remaining one thousand federal coins, take it, Mr. Tooth."
"Thank you."
Tus put the scimitar into its sheath and nodded to express his gratitude. The imprinter is not short of money, but it depends on the situation. Just perform martial arts moves and compete with others for an hour, and you can get one thousand and five federal coins in an instant.
The deal is definitely a bargain.
He stuffed the banknotes into his arms, opened the door and walked out.
Outside the door, four or five Markers holding different weapons were sitting on chairs waiting, still chatting harmoniously with each other.
As soon as Tus came out, everyone's eyes turned to him.
He smiled, patted his slightly bulging left chest and nodded.
Without saying anything, he immediately walked towards the corridor.
Several people on the seats also smiled and continued chatting.
After a moment, a voice came from the exercise room.
"Please ask the next Mr. Bartley to use the weapon flail..."
"It's my turn."
A burly man stood up.
Two days later, in the suburbs of Nington, George Jim Manor.
It is located in a remote place, and the nearest place is a small town half a kilometer away. It is at least five or six kilometers away from the city.
The entrance to the manor.
The two figures in suits hugged.
"Mr. Dusk, Jojim Manor now completely belongs to you. You can use it as you want. In addition, thank you for your generosity, which has allowed me to make a small profit. Goodbye, I'm leaving."
The middle-aged man stepped forward and stepped onto the carriage next to him.
The black carriage began to move, and the curtain at the window opened to the left. The man waved to the right with a smile.
The entrance to the manor.
A tall figure in a suit stood silently.
The man held a drawing in his hand, which showed the specific structure of the Jojim Manor. In addition, there were many designs, or traps, that were not in reality within the manor. Spikes, pits, wooden piles,
Explosives, landmines, etc...
That night, in the village near the manor.
Many young and middle-aged laborers working on the farm received the news that a generous new master had arrived in the Jojim Manor.
He planned to hire some workers to renovate the Jojim Manor. The more workers, the better, and the price paid would be high.
And it’s an hourly wage, so the more you work, the more you get.
Suddenly, the whole village became restless.
Another few days passed.
Nington City, night, in an abandoned warehouse.
Two square-headed cars were parked on the floor that smelled of decay. In the hazy moonlight, two groups of people were discussing transactions.
"Inspect the goods first?"
"Can."
One of the square-headed trucks was opened, revealing a large number of smuggled arms. Landmines, grenades, submachine guns, heavy machine guns...
"Yeah, not bad." The tall shadow nodded.
"Where's the money?" the shorter figure asked.
"Here." The tall man handed the suitcase directly over.
ten minutes later.
“A pleasure to work with.”
“A pleasure to work with!”
The two parties took what they wanted and got into the square-headed car, heading in two directions under the hazy moonlight.
Late at night, George Jim Manor.
A car drove into the nearby warehouse.
Half an hour later, on the second floor of the villa.
Ka Xiu sat on the sofa, sipping the black tea he had just brewed. He thought for a moment and took off his cloak.
Under the cloak, a set of hard, silver, close-fitting armor covered the whole body. The armor was not only strong in protection, but also very malleable. Even when Ka Xiu tried his best and his muscles expanded, he could barely avoid exploding. He raised the tea cup again.
Take a sip of hot tea.
Glancing at the pistol on the coffee table, Cardiff stood up.
Behind him is a decorative counter with a variety of brand-new cold weapons and a set of canned armor.
He walked all the way through the living room and came to the balcony.
He glanced at the vast space inside the manor.
It looks calm on the surface, but in fact it is full of dangers, and various traps are hidden inside. By the way, he still has a few landmines that he has not buried.
After preparing to this point, Ka Xiu was actually still a little dissatisfied. Time was short and many ideas were not implemented.
However, it should be enough to deal with the first chase.
He plans to give a big gift to the dear Knight of Decay...
