Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 662: Chapter 310 Spiritual Armor_2

Recalling the touch from that time, Li Yelai’s face turned red for a moment, and he quickly suppressed the provocative images.

Li Yelai steadied his mind and then responded on the communicator, “I’m fine, are you okay?”

“I’m fine. Oh, and maybe we should drink less next time (
´-ω･).”

“Keep up the good work at your job (
’▽’
).”

…

Minutes later, in the office of the Champion Agent at the East City Branch.

Li Yelai sat silently, staring blankly at the potted plant in front of him.

He wore a mask on his face, covering the wound on his lips.

It didn’t seem to draw the attention of his comrades. Amidst the greetings, he returned to his office.

The Monkey Wine from last night was indeed effective.

Now, Li Yelai hadn’t yet reached the Fifth Tier, but his Spiritual Power Strength was about that of the seventh-tier.

If sensed by outsiders, they might think he had improved so much after just one night’s sleep.

It’s a pity such liquor is rare and has a limit. Otherwise, all the Processors and Ye Boshou would get a couple of jugs themselves.

However, although his own strength had greatly increased, Li Yelai’s mood was still not settled, and images from last night kept emerging in his mind.

If it was fake, then he had just had a dirty dream— it was he who had debased himself.

That’s why the Doll, who knew nothing, acted as if nothing had happened. If she knew her friend had such a dream about her, she would probably be very angry.

But if it was real, he had indeed taken advantage of the Doll, leaving those scars on her, yet the Doll acted as if nothing had happened…

Does that mean… the Doll… she actually…

Li Yelai’s consciousness sank, and he came to the Void Realm, where he saw the fog and an indescribably strange Black Shadow within.

There were only two chains left on It… and each time he died or made a trade, one chain would be consumed.

What would become of him if he were driven to a desperate situation and used up all the chains?

Could such a self, truly respond to someone else’s feelings?

He seemed to have taken advantage of quite a few girls unwittingly.

Damn it, I’m even worse than Ye Han!

‘If the Doll has scars, then I’m a beast. If not, then I’m despicable…’ Li Yelai thought to himself with a slow exhale, feeling he was not far from being twisted… He also didn’t know whether Jile would let him off the hook for the sake of Blood God and Father of Plague.

Probably not…

At that moment, someone knocked on the office door.

“Night General Captain, I am Lei Chui from the Equipment Department,” a steady male voice came from outside.

“Oh~” Li Yelai was startled, then pushed aside the distracting thoughts, put on his mask, and said, “Please come in.”

Soon, a short but muscular man entered the office.

He wore a white shirt, the muscles almost bursting through it, making one worry for the shirt.

His ability was roughly at the Fifth Sense, similar to that of Li Yelai.

“Comrade Lei Chui, is there something you need?” Li Yelai observed Lei Chui carefully, recalling in his mind to confirm he wasn’t a Church spy.

“The Captain jests, it should be me asking what you need.” Lei Chui smiled and said, “We’ve received instructions that you need to craft a set of armor, so I’ve come to ask about your requirements.”

Oh, indeed.

The armor crafted for Li Yelai by the Ember Church was left within the Church and not brought back.

Now Li Yelai had no armor to use, and he had casually mentioned it to the Equipment Department yesterday.

He had intended to simply craft a set of armor similar to the previous Ming Guang Armor. He hadn’t expected the Equipment Department to take it so seriously and even come directly to ask.

Li Yelai said, “No need for formalities, I’m younger than you. Comrade.”

“Uh, okay. Night General Captain.” Lei Chui nodded, then placed a tablet in front of Li Yelai.

“Captain, with your authorization, you can use these materials and even Mysterious Materials. You can choose whatever features you need.”

Li Yelai flipped through the screen and indeed saw many High-level materials and even some High-grade Mysterious Materials.

Among them, some were brought over by Li Yelai himself.

Now, with the authority possessed by Li Yelai, he was able to forge A-level Spiritual Ability Equipment.

Of course, the Merit Points required would be astronomical. And the materials for A-level armoring were often difficult for Giant City to gather.

Not to mention the extraordinary materials, just the core mysterious material alone was enough to cause headaches for Giant City.

After all, every piece of A-level Spiritual Ability Equipment would require the mysterious material born from the death of a Sixth-Sense Spiritual Ability User.

Therefore, there were not many A-level armorings in Giant City.

But the supplies brought by Li Yelai had resolved these resource issues.

Inside his own ark’s storage space, he still had ten sets.

However, the officials had only invested part of the supplies, in case spies would notice.

As Li Yelai scanned through the material selection, he said, “As for the style of the armor, let’s stick with the old rules. Continue using the Ming Guang Armor.”

“Very well. The Night General Captain’s taste is indeed similar to that of the Champion,” Lei Chui nodded with a smile. “Then, do you need a cloak to go with it?”

“No need, I am just an agent, not the Champion. You might want to ask the Champion Inheritor, though,” Li Yelai shook his head.

Lei Chui’s expression turned strange: “But I also do not know who the Champion Inheritor is.”

“What a coincidence, neither do I,” Li Yelai laughed. It was only the Angel of that Golden Family from the Forbidden Zone that had said he was the Champion Inheritor.

But in reality, inside Champion Team One, no one had ever heard who was to be the Champion Successor. Yang Chen had only ascended to Overlord recently and had yet to cultivate a successor.

Then, Li Yelai asked, “Could I forge Spiritual Armor?”

The armors previously used by Li Yelai were all Extraordinary Armors, forged from extraordinary materials without incorporating mysterious material.

Once mysterious material was added, it would become Spiritual Armor. Its quality would also reach its pinnacle due to the inherent Spiritual Barrier.

Previously, when Li Yelai and Jing Lin had entered the Dead Sea Wreck, Jing Lin had been wearing B-level Spiritual Armor.

Armors of the same armed level were even more expensive than weapons.

Church Headquarters had originally planned to forge Spiritual Armor for Li Yelai, but their Treasure Vault had been raided…

“It is possible, but the cost is not low,” Lei Chui nodded. “However, using multiple pieces of Spiritual Ability Equipment simultaneously runs the risk of distortion; you must consider it carefully.”

“Right, I know. Fortunately, the supplies are plentiful, and my Merit Points are not low,” Li Yelai thought for a moment and then nodded, “Then please help me design a set of armoring-level armor. As for the ability, I need this…”

Accordingly, Li Yelai pointed to one of the mysterious materials.

It was the Sixth Sense Mysterious Material, Netherworld Path·Flowing Illusion Shadow Strike.

Li Yelai was very familiar with this ability.

Because it was the Sixth Sense Ability of Little Mad King.

The effect of Flowing Illusion Shadow Strike could create Spiritual Power Residual Shadows that could attack the enemy with about seventy percent of the user’s strength, but the shadows couldn’t use abilities.

To counter this ability, one must attack the user’s original body.

And Little Mad King had mastered this technique, being suspected of harboring a curse.

Whenever she used this ability, the enemy would suspect every single residual shadow.

The power of the curse made the enemy believe that every approaching shadow was the original body, making it impossible to guard against effectively.

At the pinnacle, Little Mad King could have as many as eighteen residual shadows.

Eighteen distracting shadows would attack, while she herself would hide and deliver the fatal blow.

If her defenses were penetrated, it was essentially a death sentence.

She would use the Shadow Blade to launch several penetrating attacks from within the enemy’s body.

The previous body of Black Umbrella was ruined by Little Mad King.

By choosing this ability, Li Yelai naturally could not be as powerful as Little Mad King, but at least he could use it to confuse the enemy or provide cover.

“You want to build A-level Spiritual Armor?” Lei Chui was surprised: “The price really is not low.”

This was even more expensive than typical A-level Spiritual Ability Equipment.

Li Yelai glanced at his five thousand Merit Points and the forty-five thousand points in storage. He nodded and said, “Then you could give me a discount, right?”

Spiritual Armor could be placed together with Spiritual Ability Equipment inside the Soul Well, and he could be armed at any moment.

This was what Li Yelai needed. With this, even if he encountered an ambush, he could be armored instantly!
