"Based on the verbal requests of both sides and considering Contestant Lu's current condition, the upcoming schedule will be slightly adjusted. The Eighth Match will be postponed by two hours, while the other contestants' matches will be moved forward."
Up in the sky, the latest information was still being broadcast. Relieved Lu PingAn watched Qian XiaoMu happily wolf down little cakes from the ground.
Communicating with the little girl was easy. Lu PingAn made the suggestion, and she agreed.
Judging from the outcome, a few little cakes and grilled meat wraps had solved the problem. It was absurdly cost-effective.
".How's the equipment? Can it be repaired?"
Now that Lu PingAn had returned for his "afternoon nap," he had time to check on the logistics team's progress.
".We're not gods. There's no way we can fix it in such a short time. Just make do with the backup equipment."
That was the team's response.
Still, after changing into backup equipment and putting on clothes, at least he could move around much more easily.
At Lu PingAn's request, the logistics team also made a few minor adjustments to the new equipment.
"Add some openings to make it easier for my 'tentacles' to move in and out."
"Add some Flame Blessing and support equipment to provide some help for my new ability."
"The defense can be lowered. Make it a little lighter, and leave more room around the joints so I can 'transform' more easily..."
Actual combat was the best teacher. By now, Lu PingAn had easily identified his own "needs" and handed them over to professionals to refine.
"Oh, and there's no need for equipment that defends against arrows anymore. I have something better."
Defense against arrows—or rather, Energy Defense Abilities Against Flying Projectiles—was an extremely common added trait among low-level abilities.
