Carlos nodded and added, "The order of the first round of judging and the time for the presentations should be decided today."
Harris, Maxwell, you two get ready.
"I understand, Faction Chief!" Maya nodded vigorously, with a small piece of bread still stuffed in her mouth.
Harris adjusted his glasses, his expression serious: "Please rest assured, Faction Leader, we have thoroughly memorized all the experimental reports regarding the Dragon Power Potion."
After the meal, Dinah and Carlos left first. Eve originally planned to go back to her room to continue looking through the plant guide, but Maya pulled her along, saying that they should go to the workshop to see what Leon had bought.
So the entire First Special Operations Team, along with Eve, Ginny, and the Nelson siblings, left the Elemental Tower and headed to the airport area where the floating workshops were docked.
The workshop remained quietly suspended in its designated berth, its three-story stone structure and raised walls appearing even more majestic in the morning light.
Li Ang activated the protective force field and led everyone into the courtyard. He first took out the [Adaptive Armor] he had purchased yesterday from the [High-Level Space Ring].
The neatly folded, matte black metal plates were spread out in the courtyard. Maya curiously squatted down and poked the surface of the armor plate with her finger.
"Is this the armor that can grow larger on its own?"
"Yes, that's right," Li Ang replied, then focused his attention.
[Bind]
【upgrade】
The immense spiritual power draws upon the power of inheritance to infuse the armor plates, optimizing the molecular structure of their shape memory alloy and enhancing the magical conductivity of the mithril veins.
LV10——LV20——LV30——LV40——LV50——LV60!
When he felt a slight tremor as the upgrade was completed, Li Ang issued commands to the armor through mental connection.
The next moment, to everyone's astonishment, those armor plates seemed to come alive!
They rapidly extended and deformed, the dark golden metal flowing upwards like water along the stone exterior walls of the workshop, covering the walls, wrapping the window sills, and reinforcing the corners—in just a few minutes, the entire three-story stone workshop, along with the surrounding walls, was completely and seamlessly wrapped in a thick layer of black armor.
The once simple stone castle has now been transformed into a steel fortress that exudes a cold metallic luster and powerful magical energy!
Fine defensive runes were faintly visible on the surface of the armor, appearing and disappearing in the flowing light. The energy fluctuations emanating from them made everyone standing in the courtyard feel a sense of unease.
Upgraded to LV60, the [Adaptive Armor] has increased its defensive capabilities and maximum flexibility by 600%. Now, this armor can easily withstand hundreds of level 3 spells or physical attacks from an adult dragon.
After setting up the armor, Li Ang began to lay out the new energy field generator, a special large energy array plate powered by magic crystals, which needed to be precisely placed at the center of the workshop.
Once activated, it can generate a stable energy field with a radius of about 140 meters centered on the workshop.
All the puppets connected to it, as long as they are within this energy field, can obtain a continuous source of energy and receive commands from the control console.
"I see—" Rudik looked at Leon's setup and suddenly understood. "So these puppets aren't completely unrestricted; they need this energy field" to operate for extended periods. No wonder the puppets I'd seen before could only stay within a fixed area.
Helena nodded in agreement: "But the captain's workshop is mobile—meaning these puppets can move along with it, which completely changes the tactical value!"
Maya's eyes lit up: "Then when we fight, won't we be able to bring a whole bunch of puppets with us? Just thinking about it is exciting!"
Although Olivia didn't speak, her red vertical pupils were fixed on Li Ang's movements, and the tip of her tail unconsciously swayed slightly, showing her inner interest.
Since it only required expanding the existing energy field, the energy field was quickly set up, and Li Ang began to take out the puppets he had purchased the day before from the ring.
Two [Six-Legged Engineering Golems LV60] were activated first. After the upgrade, their six mechanical legs became more flexible and powerful, and the four mechanical arms on their torsos could switch between twelve different tool heads, covering everything from heavy-duty cutting to precision welding.
Its load capacity reaches a terrifying five tons, and it has a preliminary autonomous operation logic. It can complete complex engineering tasks by simply issuing general instructions.
Li Ang left them temporarily in the designated parking area in the corner of the courtyard.
Next up is the main event: the nine [Rock III Golden Guardians].
As these colossal creatures, each three meters tall, entirely dark gold, and wielding magical axes and heavy shields, were taken out one by one and lined up neatly in the courtyard, a solemn and majestic aura permeated the entire space.
Their armor gleamed with a cold light in the morning glow, and the sensors around their eyes emitted a faint red glow, like a sleeping behemoth slowly awakening.
Li Ang did not hesitate.
[Bind].
Nine invisible connections were established simultaneously.
【upgrade】.
LV10-LV60!
The moment the upgrade was completed, Li Ang sensed their status through the mental connection. Now, each puppet exuded a terrifying aura comparable to a level five magical beast!
Its axe-spear's shooting power has firmly entered the category of fourth-level spells, and its shield's defensive power is enough to temporarily withstand the bombardment of fifth-level spells!
Li Ang estimated that nine puppets working together could probably flatten some small wizard towers.
"So—so powerful—" Looking at these imposing puppets, Ludick swallowed hard, his voice a little hoarse.
Helena held her breath. She could sense that any one of these puppets could easily suppress her in her normal state.
Maya excitedly circled one of the puppets, clicking her tongue in amazement: "This big guy looks reliable! Li Angqing, can I command a few of them in future battles?"
Olivia looked up at the puppets and suddenly muttered to herself, "I wonder if they can withstand the dragon's breath—"
After binding, upgrading, and connecting all the puppets to the workshop's energy field control system, it was already close to evening.
The afterglow of the setting sun bathed Baihe City in a golden-red hue, and the suspended platform at the center of the Five Towers resembled a fairyland in the evening glow.
Li Ang stood in the courtyard, looking at the completely transformed floating fortress before him. Black adaptive armor covered his entire body. Nine golden guards stood solemnly like sculptures in the courtyard, two six-legged engineering puppets awaited orders, and on the other side, there were two six-armed guardian puppets ready to be deployed at any time.
With its firepower, defense, engineering capabilities, and mobility, the Workshop has now become a true mobile war fortress.
"With these, when facing the end—our chances of winning should be slightly better," Li Ang thought to himself.
