Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 296

Chapter 296: The Astonished Luo Xue

TL: Etude

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Hao dove directly into the bottom of the Hualong Pond.

Luo Xue glanced at the ground beside her. A large mutant ribbonfish had been devoured, leaving only a skeleton.

Meanwhile, the War Eagle was still circling the surrounding area.

“An eagle that can wear armor…”

If there were enough armor sets, wouldn’t it be possible to form an army of mutant creatures?

“I just wonder how intelligent this War Eagle is. It would be great if it had the intelligence of a three-year-old.”

At this moment, Luo Xue couldn’t help but voice her thoughts.

Splash!

In an instant, a massive figure burst out of the Hualong Pond!

A large spray of water splashed in all directions.

“Look!”

Lin Hao emerged with numerous armor sets in his hands and tossed them onto the ground.

“Wait, there’s more.”

He dove back into the pond.

“This is…”

Seeing the items by the shore, Luo Xue’s eyes widened.

There were many rectangular metal boxes!

These contained Type 3 armor sets!

And on the other side, the square metal shapes held Type 2 armor sets!

How were there so many armor sets?

Luo Xue’s eyes were filled with astonishment.

Had they plundered some base?

But these armor sets all appeared to be unused!

Brand new, unopened!

Just as Luo Xue was in a state of shock, Lin Hao surfaced again.

This time, what he brought out was even more astonishing!

“There are also four Type 1 Battle Suits. Here.”

“And these seem to be called level 7 crystal cores, though I don’t know their use.”

At this moment, Lin Hao placed these items in front of Luo Xue.

Seeing this dazzling array of items, Luo Xue felt faint.

Had they looted an entire ruin!?

“Lin Hao, how did you get all of these!?”

Rubbing her eyes, Luo Xue couldn’t help but ask.

What she saw before her was completely beyond her imagination.

So many armor sets!

Just looking at them was immensely shocking.

And so many precious level 7 crystal cores!

“It’s from a civilization ruin. You mentioned before that armor sets are obtained from civilization ruins. I happened to find a small civilization ruin on the seabed and decided to explore it. The process was quite simple, hehe.”

Seeing Luo Xue’s astonished look, Lin Hao couldn’t help but smile proudly.

“A civilization ruin… Only one set should be obtainable per person…” Luo Xue muttered to herself.

“But I’m not human right now.”

“Pfft!” As Lin Hao finished his sentence, Luo Xue couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“You managed to exploit that loophole, huh.” She smiled wryly.

“Try this Type 1 Battle Suit. I tried wearing it, but my body is too big to be fully covered.” Lin Hao chuckled.

“Activate a set and see. Anyway, they’re all for you.” Lin Hao continued.

“Alright.”

Neither Luo Xue nor Lin Hao were ones for unnecessary politeness, so she immediately agreed.

She picked up one of the metallic dice-like objects and pressed it slightly, causing a glow to emanate from it.

Activation and binding began.

The next moment, as the armor fully activated, her body was covered in a silver suit of armor.

“How does it feel?” Lin Hao asked as he looked at Luo Xue.

“It’s much lighter than the Type 2 Battle Suit, and the armor system seems to be upgraded too,” Luo Xue replied, familiarizing herself with the new armor.

She could clearly feel the significant difference between the Type 1 and Type 2 Battle Suits.

With just a thought, the armor’s thrusters activated, and her entire body lifted off the ground, hovering in mid-air. She could fly by mere willpower!

“Lin Hao, I can fly!” Luo Xue exclaimed excitedly, hovering before Lin Hao.

“Not bad,” Lin Hao smiled.

With the Type 1 Battle Suit, Luo Xue’s combat power had significantly improved. This armor set had added over a thousand combat points, making her capable of fighting some stronger mutant creatures.

“This battle blade, I got it after killing a level 6 ET,” Lin Hao said, taking out a blade.

“You’ve turned into Doraemon,” Luo Xue teased, watching the scene unfold.

Lin Hao had collected a staggering amount of items, all extremely hard to acquire.

“A level 6 ET… Was this on the volcanic island?” Luo Xue quickly put two and two together.

“Yes,” Lin Hao briefly recounted the previous events.

“These ETs were hiding on the moon and used locators to directly land…” Luo Xue’s expression turned serious as she looked at the locator in front of her.

It seemed that, after being dealt with by humans multiple times upon landing, the ETs had become more cautious.

“I don’t know if they’ll continue using these signals to land in the future,” Lin Hao said, a bit helpless.

If they did continue to use the locators, he could hunt them again!

“After this incident, they should become more cautious,” Luo Xue said earnestly.

“You’re right. I’ll give it another try when the time comes,” Lin Hao smiled.

“By the way, I have something for you too,” Luo Xue said, retrieving a specially made tablet from the car.

The tablet was large, almost like a television, but for someone of Lin Hao’s size, it was rather small.

“A tablet?” Lin Hao was surprised.

“Yes, it can use satellite internet and make satellite calls, so it has a signal almost everywhere.”

“I’ve logged into the global alliance account on it. You can use my account to browse information related to mutant creatures worldwide.

The solar panel on the back can automatically charge it, so battery life won’t be an issue.

And the glass panel is made of special material. As long as you’re not too forceful, you won’t scratch the screen.” Luo Xue continued.

“That sounds great!” Lin Hao’s eyes lit up as he carefully used his claw to swipe the tablet.

Indeed, as long as he wasn’t too forceful, it worked fine.

“The network signal is excellent!” Lin Hao’s eyes brightened.

“Maybe I can watch videos!”

“Videos?”

“Ahem, I mean animal documentaries.”

“Oh, and there’s something else. There have been a lot of mutant creatures appearing in the city,” Luo Xue remembered and immediately reported the situation.

AN: Yesterday, I was hospitalized with acute appendicitis and had surgery that night. I couldn’t write at all, and this is not an excuse to delay updates—it’s true, may I suffer if I’m lying. I still have a few holes in my abdomen, and I wrote this while the pain was manageable. I hope everyone can understand. Once I’ve recovered, I’ll make up for the updates immediately!

TL: Don’t worry, the author is fine now!
