Chapter 267

Absolutely nothing that shouldn't have been exposed has been corrected.

"And isn't this outfit beautiful?" MEI pushed up her glasses and said, "Don't tell me this outfit is ugly."

While Mihoyo has its share of issues, its art style is undeniably impressive. It caters to male players while also greatly satisfying female players.

Mihoyo really knows how to design character costumes.

The combination of white, blue, and black is indeed just right.

White pantyhose visually accentuate a woman's long, slender legs, while the voluminous pleated skirt and tight-fitting top make her curvaceous and alluring figure even more prominent.

Moreover, even if an ordinary person wore this outfit in their previous life, it could greatly conceal some physical imperfections.

For example, short legs, or narrow hips.

Of course, you can pad the upper body.

At the same time, the outfit strikes an ideal balance between what should and shouldn't be revealed, finding a middle ground between eroticism and artistry.

Of course, MEI think this is only natural.

If you want to trick more players into spending money, you definitely need to put a lot of effort into this. However, if you don't want to get banned, you can't be too blatant.

But Mihoyo's art design is truly amazing.

However, their storytelling ability...

Anyway, I never played MEI for the storyline!

"Even so," Rita said, adjusting her clothes, "This outfit doesn't feel like it was designed for combat."

"Stop talking nonsense!" MEI said, a little dissatisfied. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll turn your clothes into a wedding dress next time."

"How about you wear a wedding dress for me?"

Many of the women's outfits in the game are designed for beauty and to attract attention, not for defensive capabilities.

"This armor..." Rita still couldn't quite believe it. Although she really didn't want to fight in a wedding dress, this outfit was indeed hard to believe.

Smack!

Just then, Rita suddenly saw something appear in front of her.

It stood in front of her like a shield.

"This is..." Rita noticed the shield blocking her way, but what intrigued her even more was the invisible blade.

She already knew that MEI had obtained the legendary weapon.

The Sword in the Stone, King Arthur's masterpiece!

There's also a matching scabbard, Avalon, but Mei has never been seen taking it out. Now it seems there's more to it than meets the eye.

This thing is normally invisible.

Indeed, it's a very powerful weapon.

"I've already thought about it," MEI said, "Especially the defense aspect."

"If you want to hurt the main body, break through this defense first."

"Moreover, those seemingly exposed skin areas are actually covered with a similar protective shield."

"It's also very sturdy."

While it's possible to separate appearance and defense attributes in games, this isn't very feasible in reality. Therefore, the goal is to accurately represent defense while remaining as similar to the in-game appearance as possible.

We must find another way.

MEI gave Argent Knight: Artemis two sets of defensive shields, one on the outer perimeter and one designed for close-range combat. To harm Rita, one would need to break through at least two layers of defense.

Moreover, breakthroughs must be achieved simultaneously, or at least within a short period of time.

"This shield has self-healing capabilities," MEI said. "It will heal very quickly."

"The shield will never run out of energy until your mana is depleted."

"Hmm." Rita could feel the clothes slowly drawing away a little bit of her power.

Not much, very little, so little that it's almost negligible; it seems to be just maintaining and restoring this energy shield.

Although Rita didn't really like the feeling, the energy shield seemed like a good thing.

"You can try it out first," MEI said. "You'll soon discover the unique features of this armor; it's not just about having high defense."

Since it's the most accurate representation of the Azure Knight: Argent Knight: Artemis.

That naturally restored that thing called Silver Leap.

The game doesn't provide a specific explanation of the Silver Pact, but it does say that the Silver Moon is something that only appears after the concentration of New Moon Particles reaches a certain level.

But it didn't say exactly how it would appear.

MEI can only make this thing appear through its own methods.

Of course, how to activate it now depends on Rita.

Rita nodded.

Although the armor was quite different from what she had initially imagined, it seemed to be only in appearance. In reality, the armor was surprisingly useful.

So.

MEI withdrew from Rita's side and said, "The simulation battle begins!"

"Oh oh oh!"

Wendy, watching everything unfold from the platform, had a gleam in her eyes. Although this wasn't her first time witnessing Valkyrie's battle, this could be seen as her future!

She will be like that too; she can also possess the Valkyrie Armor.

She will become even stronger!

Otto was more interested in the Valkyrie, especially its performance! Although it was made with modern materials, MEI certainly didn't use technology from this era to manufacture it.

Well... to be more precise, MEI's armor was created using the design concepts and manufacturing methods of a civilization from the previous era.

Otto was very curious!

What unique inspiration could this suit of armor bring him?

Rita charged forward, brandishing her scythe.

'The first few attacks weren't anything special,' Otto thought, stroking his chin. 'They look no different from ordinary Valkyrie armor.'

That was indeed the case in the first few attacks.

Rita's fighting style is characterized by her sweeping, powerful attacks with her scythe against enemies within a certain range.

Amidst a vast army, she can wield her giant scythe and swiftly harvest tons of enemies.

The initial attacks did not showcase the unique features of this armor.

But when the fifth attack occurs.

"What is that?!" Durandal clearly noticed a figure suddenly appearing directly in front of Rita, wielding the same scythe as Rita, together they were reaping enemies.

"Oh?" Otto a little surprised.

"As expected! This is interesting."

As expected of Doctor Mei, he effortlessly accomplished things he hadn't even considered.

'It looks somewhat like a composite of Honkai Energy.' Otto observed it closely.

'However, compared to regular Honkai Energy, this seems to have undergone some changes in its characteristics.'

Is this a manifestation of Rita's own characteristics?

Otto remembered that Rita's characteristic seemed to be related to teleportation; Rita could quickly teleport within a short space and inflict very serious lacerations on her opponents.

It seems to resemble the wind, but it's only a resemblance.

However, Rita's current abilities do not manifest as the previous ability to traverse.

'It looks like ice?!'

Otto frowned slightly as he looked at Rita on the field.

'Could the Doctor use the armor to alter this characteristic?'

Rita herself was startled by the figure that appeared. She had actually sensed the extraordinary nature of the armor long ago, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

The phantom that appeared was something brought out by this armor.

This armor looks much more powerful than I imagined.

'Hmm, it should be worth trying further.' Rita felt the power she had just used.

'This armor specializes in my strength, altering the properties of that strength.'

'Doctor Mei's armor must include more than just these, right?'

Rita glanced at Doctor Mei, who was standing to the side seemingly watching the spectacle, and couldn't help but think much more highly of her. To be honest, Rita hadn't originally held the doctor in much respect.

Her experiments were either researching instant noodles with a cute girl flavor or studying some unknown stuff.

Although she did cure Bronya.

But most of her research was either haphazard or involved studying things she knew absolutely nothing about, and her lab...

It's really hard to explain in a few words.

Now it seems that Doctor Mei is indeed a very impressive doctor.

Otto was watching the armor.

Rita's actions became more aggressive, and the simulated Guard Honkai Evolved were completely unable to retaliate. Of course, Otto didn't care about any counterattacks from these Guard Honkai Evolved.

After all, it's just a simulation for testing.

To truly assess the defensive capabilities of this armor, we'll have to put it to the test on the battlefield.

But even now, you can still see the almost abnormal attack power of this armor!

"They've slowed down." Otto observed that the movements of the Honkai zombie had indeed slowed down. And it wasn't just that they'd slowed down; something rather interesting was beginning to appear on Rita's body.

It felt like some kind of white light was attached to my body.

"Change it to Ganesha!" Otto commanded. "I want to see the defensive capabilities of this armor."

The battlefield environment changed instantly, so fast that Rita couldn't even react. She couldn't retract her scythe after she'd swung it; she could only watch helplessly as a hardworking pig suddenly appeared before her!

"Oh no!" Rita thought to herself, "This is bad."

"It can't be taken back."

There was no other way but to go for it!

Rita was fixated on Ganesha's long fangs, which were both the point of attack and the hardest part of Ganesha.

The impact of the slash actually made Rita's hand ache.

But that was all.

Ganesha was suddenly frozen inside a huge block of ice.

'It can actually do all that?' Rita stared at the enormous block of ice, truly surprised that it had such a hidden feature! This armor seems a bit too powerful now!

"Waaaaah~"

Just as Rita was still marveling at her armor, the hardworking pig turned around and shattered the ice block.

It charged towards Rita.

Rita was careless and didn't flash!

Even the simulated Ganesha's attack power is not to be underestimated; its sharp fangs easily pierced through the first layer of defense of this armor.

But it remained on the second set of defenses.

"This..." Otto said, stroking his chin, "It looks like this white light is used to increase defense."

"This armor is really good."

It has to be said that the armor made by MEI has given him far more than he expected.
