Chapter 76: Armed Battle Princess Compatibility
"Pleasure doing business."
After exchanging blueprints, Orion Cross and Heimerdinger stood up at the same time and shook hands.
This was why Orion Cross had directly abandoned his original plan after running into Heimerdinger. If he cooperated with Camille’s Ferros family, then either they would only provide finished products and Orion Cross would act as the middleman earning the price difference, or they would provide the original blueprints and Orion Cross would return to the main world to have scientific researchers modify them himself. But now? He had directly obtained all kinds of purely technological blueprints that required no magical support. Once Orion Cross returned, as long as the equipment was in place, he could practically start production immediately.
"Oh, right. I still have a special blueprint here. Are you interested in taking a look?"
Orion Cross suddenly remembered that he had also obtained a blueprint after dealing with Obadiah. Since he still had extra time now, he might as well solve all his problems at once.
"Of course! Let me see it!"
Heimerdinger was filled with interest in the blueprints Orion Cross possessed.
"This is the one."
Orion Cross took out the Armed Battle Princess blueprint and placed it on the table. This was his first time taking it out. To be honest, the moment he brought it out, Orion Cross froze for a brief instant. Because this so-called blueprint was actually only the size of a playing card, and there was not much text on it either.
"Wow. This is an exquisite magical blueprint!"
Heimerdinger climbed onto the table, observed the small card-like blueprint, and exclaimed in surprise.
"A magical blueprint?"
Only then did Orion Cross remember that everything produced by the system had descriptions, so he immediately checked it.
Blueprint: Armed Battle Princess.
Description: After selecting one person as the pilot for the blueprint, collect the materials and place them into the blueprint’s internal space. Once completed, you may directly obtain Space Armor: Armed Battle Princess.
Materials:
Selected pilot: 0/1. The pilot’s compatibility determines the armor’s overall strength and response speed.
Energy core: 0/1. Determines multiple factors such as the armor’s endurance, energy attack level, and protective barrier strength. Can be replaced after manufacturing.
Any metal: 0/50. Determines the armor’s physical attack and defense capabilities. The metal’s energy conductivity also determines the upper limit of energy attacks and barrier defense.
Dye: 0/8. Determines the armor’s appearance and color transformation.
Fabric: 0/20. Determines the armor’s comfort level, as well as reducing the coefficient of combat power decline caused by the Armed Battle Princess getting her period during battle.
"Damn, there are blueprints like this too?"
After reading the blueprint’s settings, Orion Cross froze for a full ten seconds. Put the materials inside and it could be built directly. This was simply a must-have for lazy people. Unfortunately, this blueprint could only be used once. Otherwise, Orion Cross could directly form an armored army.
"This blueprint seems to be designed for a woman, and it also requires a sufficiently compatible woman to display its true power."
After observing it for a long time, Heimerdinger finally came to a conclusion. Then he shook his head and returned the blueprint to Orion Cross. "As for the rest, before it is manufactured, I can’t see anything more."
"It’s getting late. I should head back."
Orion Cross took back the blueprint card and spoke.
"Then goodbye. Remember to visit often."
Heimerdinger nodded as well and jumped down from his seat while holding the blueprints.
Ten minutes later, two voices came from inside the laboratory of the Yordle Academy of Science and Progress.
"Professor, you still have a press conference tomorrow. You should rest early..."
"Rest, my ghost! I’m going to properly study the technology in these blueprints tonight. Tomorrow’s press conference is canceled!"
"So this is basically equivalent to not sleeping all night?"
After returning and looking at the faintly bright sky outside, Orion Cross yawned. Sleep was indeed not a necessity for him, but this kind of habit was not something that could be changed just because he wanted to.
"Six o’clock."
After glancing at the time on his phone, Orion Cross opened the wardrobe, took out a new set of clothes, put them on, and went downstairs.
Thud.
The sound of a door closing came from the room outside. Wearing sportswear, Skye walked from the entrance into the living room, breathing slightly hard.
"You got up this early to run?"
Orion Cross took two cans of iced juice from the fridge and tossed one to Skye.
"Who told all of you to have superpowers? If I don’t train a little, I’m afraid that one day, if I accidentally get brushed by something, I’ll go straight to meet God."
Skye accepted the juice, pulled open the tab, and gulped it down.
"Looks like you still haven’t walked out of that shadow."
Orion Cross smiled helplessly. He knew Skye was referring to the infrasonic attack at Tony’s villa. Everyone else had been fine, but she alone had collapsed. Thinking of this, Orion Cross took out the Armed Battle Princess blueprint and aimed it at Skye, who was raising her head to drink juice.
Blueprint: Armed Battle Princess. Compatibility: 89%.
"Eighty-nine? Is that high or low?"
Because he had no comparison, Orion Cross had no idea what the number meant. But to be honest, Skye would awaken into Quake sooner or later. If the Armed Battle Princess armor were given to her, it might instead limit her abilities. That would definitely be a waste.
"Why are you up so early? Hah... Aren’t hackers supposed to be shut-ins who stay at home and refuse to exercise?"
Susan walked out of her room in pajamas, glanced at Skye and Orion Cross downstairs, yawned, and went into the bathroom.
"That’s prejudice!"
Skye immediately defended herself.
"I think what she said makes sense. How long did you run?"
"Fifteen minutes. Why?"
She was already this tired after running for ten minutes, yet she still said Susan’s words were prejudice. Orion Cross was instantly speechless.
"It was a fast run!"
Seeing Orion Cross’s expression, Skye immediately understood what he meant and gritted her teeth as she spoke. She did not want Orion Cross to think she was a shut-in who crouched at home all day. Although, as a hacker, there was actually nothing wrong with her staying in her room all day.
"All right, I misunderstood."
Orion Cross smiled and shook his head. Then, when Susan walked out of the bathroom and prepared to return to her bedroom, he took out the blueprint card and aimed it at her.
Blueprint: Armed Battle Princess. Compatibility: 39%.
"That low? Looks like Skye’s eighty-nine is actually pretty high."
After seeing Susan’s compatibility, Orion Cross immediately understood after making a comparison.
An hour later, Skye finished making breakfast, and everyone went downstairs and sat at the dining table.
"These are the product blueprints for the new company. Hold on to them carefully. Don’t let them leak."
Orion Cross took out the results of the previous night and handed them to Susan and Raven. One of them had once been a scientific researcher, while the other was a semi-all-purpose management-type talent. Together, they were just enough to control both sides of a company.
Ding-dong.
Just as Orion Cross handed the blueprints to the two of them, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"I’ll get the door."
Seeing the two of them looking at the contents of the blueprints, Orion Cross stood up of his own accord.
Click.
"Hello. I saw that the barbecue restaurant next door is hiring a manager. May I be qualified for the position?"
After the door opened, a woman with wine-red waves in her hair stood at the entrance, smiling as she asked.
"Miss Natasha, there’s no need to play games with one of your own, right?"
Orion Cross raised an eyebrow and spoke. After all, he technically held the title of a consultant who got paid for doing nothing at S.H.I.E.L.D. Why was she still playing this act when they were on the same side?
Orion Cross glanced at the Armed Battle Princess compatibility in his hand.
Blueprint: Armed Battle Princess. Compatibility: 99%.
