His soul seemed to be basking in warm sunlight, making him so comfortable that he nearly groaned.
After a long while, he gradually regained consciousness.
The face of Ju Qingmeng opposite him was full of anticipation, "How do you feel?"
Ren Zhong took several deep breaths, calmed himself, "Hard to say. It seems to have its own awareness, expressing affection towards me. Before I triggered Five Senses Resonance, there already existed a sense of life and death integration with this equipment. It rejoices when I wear it and feels lost when perceiving my intention to remove it."
Ju Qingmeng nodded, "Yes, it has come alive. Without a doubt, it will continue to grow. In the foreseeable future, it will accompany you for a long time. Do you want to give it a name?"
Ren Zhong walked to the mirror, looking at the elegantly streamlined yet intimidatingly powerful exoskeleton.
He said, "Let’s call it Red Blade. Red as in the color red, Blade as in sharp blade."
Just as Ren Zhong uttered the name Red Blade, the armor shimmered slightly.
Ren Zhong sensed delight from the exoskeleton, seemingly satisfied with the name.
Ju Qingmeng puzzled, "Red Blade? But isn’t it blue?"
Ren Zhong grinned, "It’s blue now, but maybe in the future, it will turn red."
"What kind of red?"
Ren Zhong pondered.
He didn’t voice the hue in his mind, merely said, "The red of blood or flame."
...
"By the way, how much material is left?"
Calm from the excitement of receiving new equipment, Ren Zhong asked again.
In the last timeline, his Demon Infant Metal was just enough.
However, this time, he improved the process, reducing wastage during refining, making the total output three times higher than before.
Thus, he had a rough idea of how much Demon Infant Metal remained.
But he wanted to know the status of Alien Ore.
Ju Qingmeng replied, "There’s still two-thirds of the Demon Infant Metal left. However, there’s not much Alien Ore Extract left to make another Red Blade. But I recommend not using it. It’s not that I fear others betraying you, rather if others fall and lose the equipment, spreading it would be troublesome."
Ren Zhong pondered for a moment, "Taking some appropriate risks is fine. Take half out, divide it into four parts, and upgrade the equipment for Zheng Tian, Yujin, Wen Lei, and Bai Feng. Keep the other half as backup."
Ju Qingmeng: "Huh? You trust them that much?"
Ren Zhong smiled, "Yes, just like I trust you."
"What about Chen Hanyu and Ou Youning?"
"The two of them are a Demolition Master and a Blast Master, they don’t need it. Best materials go to the blade."
"Alright."
"Additionally, split the Demon Infant Metal into three parts. Keep one part as a reserve, merge another with Alien Ore into those four’s equipment, and dilute the last part into a hundred portions to make the barrels of fifty rapid-fire rifles and fifty battle blades. I want to arm an elite hundred-man squad."
"Okay."
"If you’re too busy, ask Wen Lei to come help."
"Alright!"
