Chapter 432: Chapter 432
This Battle Armor Qian Qi is wearing is truly stylish, with a touch of domineering, cool, and boss-like hauteur.
A group of children exclaimed "Wow," enviously, crowding around Qian Qi and touching the armor here and there, their eyes filled with longing and admiration.
Qian Qi naturally liked it too; this dark black and gold Battle Armor perfectly matched her own "understated luxury" vibe!
However, there was one thing she was quite curious about.
"Senior, why is the inside of this Battle Armor red?"
Could this be the difference between Battle Armor and Defense Armor?
The Defense Armor she had worn before mostly had inner armor colors matching the outside, with the rare exception of brown, but this was the first time she’d seen such a red inner armor.
"This set of Battle Armor can be worn inside out," Su Ang explained after regaining his composure. "If you want to change identities, you can switch to wearing it as a red Battle Armor, and also..."
He thought the red color would look even better on her.
He then picked up a bag from under the Battle Armor.
"Plus this," he said, lowering his eyes, not daring to look at her, "With this, the black Battle Armor suits you better."
Qian Qi glanced at him in confusion, then opened the bag and pulled out what was inside. To her surprise, it unfolded into a large, lightweight, bright red cloak!
The color was as vivid as blood, with an intricately stitched yet imposing dragon and phoenix on it. A majestic five-clawed golden dragon on the right lower corner of the cloak spewed clouds and mist, while a golden phoenix with wings spread soared in the sky on the left upper corner. As the girl swung the cloak into the air, they seemed to come alive.
When Qian Qi donned the cloak, her entire aura changed instantly.
If wearing just the black Battle Armor made Qian Qi look like a formidable and understated luxurious female general, then the addition of the red cloak turned her into a bold, flamboyant King of the Monkeys, stripping away all the understated luxury and formidable presence, making her whole demeanor become flashy and ostentatious!
Qian Qi could almost bet that wearing this from above, she would definitely dazzle everyone and every beast army below.
[Tsk tsk.] The system showed a complex expression of gritting teeth and sighing, [What kind of image does he have of you in his mind?]
He doesn’t understand me, he really doesn’t understand me! I am not that flashy and high-profile!
Qian Qi removed the cloak, intending to put it away, only to find yet another bag in the box.
"What’s this now?" Qian Qi hadn’t expected more to be inside.
"Uh... leftover fabric from the cloak made into regular clothes, if you like it." Su Ang stared at the bag, explaining with an unchanged expression.
Red casual clothes? That should be quite festive.
Thinking it was true, Qian Qi opened the bag, and the next second, her face turned black.
This loose-fitting red tie-up big shorts, the sleeveless bright red vest even boldly embroidered with the golden character "Qian," and these black-bottomed, red-foot Cambodian sandals — is this what you claim as regular clothes???
The system already released a silent yet deafening laugh: [Isn’t this your exclusive casual wear! Hahahaha — he really understands you well, Qian Qi, hahahaha!] Qian Qi: ...
Qian Qi looked at these "leftover fabric" in disbelief, but truly, as the system said, Su Ang did have some accurate perception of her — she actually quite liked it.
Okay, she admitted it, she really liked it.
Seems like she should prepare some nice things for Su Ang too.
Qian Qi planned to get some good things from the system after dealing with the Blast Fire Gun.
Just as she was thinking, the sound of a hovercar landing was heard outside. She turned to look, it was Sikong Wang.
As soon as Sikong Wang arrived, he saw Qian Qi wearing the Battle Armor and cloak, "Whoa, Qiqi, who gifted you this, it suits you!"
Qian Qi chuckled, "I really appreciate your compliment."
"Looks like there’s quality material here, A-level?" Sikong Wang touched the cloak; with numerous items privately stored at home, he naturally had some level of material assessment of Battle Armor. This cloak seemed to be made of A-level Magical Beast skin.
However, as for this Battle Armor... Hmm? There are traces of that Master’s craftsmanship, but he remembers that Master only makes S-class Battle Armors...
"Did you gift her this?" Sikong Wang asked Su Ang beside him.
Su Ang nodded lightly.
No doubt about it, must be S-class then, no way Su Ang couldn’t present an A-level Battle Armor.
Thinking of this triggered some competitive spirit in Sikong Wang. He wondered whether he should prepare a top gift for Qian Qi, and it had to surpass Su Ang’s.
Why didn’t Su Ang give him a heads-up about preparing gifts, leaving the ones he’d brought for the orphanage kids feeling inadequate.
Qian Qi began taking off the Battle Armor, preparing to store it away, while Sikong Wang, holding a cup of tea given by Xiang Wen Yun, suddenly sprayed it out.
"Pfft—! Cough cough!"
He stared in shock at the layer of red inner armor, his pupils trembling as he glanced at Su Ang.
Su Ang, you son of a gun, you lack integrity! Fınd the newest release on novèlfire.net
How can I present a better gift now? There probably isn’t anything better than a double-layered S-class armor!
Wait, how did he persuade that Master?
One must know that the Master who makes S-class armor is essentially a Seven Great Family’s appointed armor-making Master, and S-class Magical Beast skin resources are limited, decreasing with use.
Only those S-class Awakened with significant contributions to instances had the right to reserve S-class Battle Armor with the Master, like the Su Family trio, Xi Ye, and Shangguan Qing.
Even so, what they’d obtain was merely a single-layered S-class Battle Armor!
As for the double-layered Battle Armor, while the Master possessed the skill, he only ever made one for himself and wouldn’t make one for anyone else!
Might Su Ang have emptied his living reserves... No, wrong, the Master doesn’t want money... it must have been an equivalent exchange...
Sikong Wang’s gaze unconsciously fell on Su Ang and suddenly realized Su Ang wasn’t wearing his usual black coat and suit today.
His heart jolted fiercely.
Could it be he traded his own S-class regular clothes...
Su Ang’s gaze casually swept over Sikong Wang, but Sikong Wang easily saw the warning intentions within.
Dad, you’re truly my dad... Qiqi didn’t save your life, why be so good to her...
Sikong Wang’s slightly dull brain suddenly sparked, followed by slightly widening his mouth.
Don’t tell me it’s what I think?!
"Wangwang, what’s up?" Qian Qi wondered as she watched Sikong Wang’s mouth continually trickle with tea, handing him a tissue from the side, "Quickly wipe it."
"Cough, I’m fine, just choked." Sikong Wang took the tissue and wiped his lips, then looked in Su Ang’s direction while Su Ang had already turned his attention away without any change in expression.
Sikong Wang glanced at Qian Qi again, thinking of his previously conceived thoughts, he felt inexplicably weird.
His savior, his long-time best buddy, suddenly having a romantic line unbeknownst to him, how could he not feel weird?
But when did they progress the relationship...
Sikong Wang secretly observed Qian Qi, could it be before when they were doing instances together in Hong City, and feelings developed?
"Why are you looking?" Seeing Sikong Wang staring, Qian Qi touched her face.
"Uh... nothing’s wrong." Sikong Wang quickly shook his head, watching Qian Qi naturally pack up the box before swaggering out of the cafeteria with it. He turned back, only to see Su Ang gazing fondly at her back, his eyes so soft they could drown.
Wait, buddy, are you still secretly in love!!!
