Magic Master

Mind Armor only has one set, and its energy is limited. Du Ke couldn't possibly use it in his daily life. Its more important purpose is to replicate real-world items and provide Du Ke with knowledge for cultivating Mind Power.

Of course.

Occasionally, when going out, it could transform into a set of clothes. That would save some money on buying clothes, and the most crucial point – it's a perfect fit!

There's nothing more comfortable than clothes materialized by Mind Armor.

Also, that laptop he'd used for three years could be sold for a few hundred yuan. Anyway, when he wanted to use one, he could just have Mind Armor replicate it. His data wouldn't be lost.

Opening his Mi 6 phone and looking at the over twenty thousand yuan in change displayed in the app, Du Ke took a deep breath and decisively hailed a taxi.

Now that he had figured out Mind Armor's replication function, his next step was naturally to take action.

First, he'd go to the mall and shamelessly replicate all the electronic products on the market – refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, air conditioners, induction cooktops, ovens, robot vacuum cleaners, water purifiers, rice cookers, routers, and so on. Replicating these electronic products was relatively fast.

Then, he replicated a few sets of branded outfits for himself.

A handmade suit, leather shoes, and a Patek Philippe watch; a Li Ning tracksuit, a Xiaomi smart band, plus a hoverboard. He actually wanted to replicate a car, but Mind Armor's energy limit was restricted, making it impossible to replicate such a large vehicle for now.

This brings up a problem.

Mind Armor's energy is divided into power energy and storage energy. Storage energy is easy to understand; it's the Mind Power gained from daily cultivation that's stored here. Power energy is a limit of Mind Armor, representing the extent to which it can materialize things. This is related to Du Ke's mental strength.

As Du Ke cultivates Mind Power, his mental strength improves as a byproduct. The stronger his mental strength, the higher the power energy limit of Mind Armor, and the larger the things it can materialize.

Therefore.

He couldn't replicate cars for now, only touch them and "learn" about their structural knowledge.

However, he did replicate a few motorcycles.

He spent time touching various motorcycles in the motorcycle shop, making the salesperson roll her eyes, but he left stylishly without even asking the price of a single motorcycle.

BOOM!

BOOM!

A BMW S1000rr motorcycle let out a cool roar, carrying Du Ke across the street. Wearing a helmet, he enjoyed the envious glances of passersby in a low-key manner before returning to his rented room. He still ate takeout, still spent a lot of time online.

He still rode various models of motorcycles every day, cruising around while looking for new things to replicate, then digesting and absorbing this knowledge for cultivation at night.

Or he would shop on Taobao, buying strange and exotic items that couldn't be found in Luzhou City, the capital of Anhui Province, and replicating them.

But as the deposit in his bank account dwindled.

He remembered that he needed to find a job.

Graduating from university meant unemployment. If his parents hadn't known how expensive dating was and given him some financial assistance, he would probably have starved.

"I'm a man with the New World as my backdrop, how can I be stumped by making money?" Du Ke said to himself in the mirror, altering his appearance.

Mind Armor could replicate anything except living beings, or rather, it couldn't replicate living units.

It could replicate dead trees but not living ones. The fundamental reason was the subtlety of cellular structure, not to mention DNA and RNA. The soul of a living being was something Mind Armor couldn't analyze – even though Mind Armor itself existed between matter and soul.

Perhaps, in the inherited knowledge locked within Mind Armor, there was an explanation of the Mind God Race regarding souls and Mind Power, but Du Ke couldn't access it currently.

However, he could avoid living beings and alter his appearance using other materials.

"A height of 1.73 meters is a bit short. I can only change the thickness of the soles of my shoes." Du Ke disguised himself, even increasing his height, before heading out.

It wasn't that he wanted to play a secret agent, but he didn't want to be recognized.

After all, he was destined to build his own material empire and energy empire, to become a world-class business magnate surpassing Daddy Ma.

At that time, he would definitely be in the spotlight. Who knew what kind of people would be investigating him in secret? What if Mind Armor was exposed during that time?

Although, as it seemed now, Mind Armor had completely fused with him and couldn't be separated, it was better to be safe than sorry.

So, being cautious was not wrong.

After creating his new image, he mounted a newly materialized ordinary motorcycle and headed straight for the modified car shop he had already contacted.

Poor people play with cars, rich people play with watches. Once you get into car modification, it's like diving into a deep sea.

Modified cars are where truly rich second-generation heirs like to splurge. Ordinary people might just add some exhaust sound, a spoiler, or a new paint job, which doesn't cost much. But when rich second-generation heirs modify cars, they play with the engines, and anything related to the engine, especially imported equipment, costs a fortune.

Imported equipment means money!

So Du Ke arrived.

"Li Changyang, right? You say you're good at modifying cars?" The owner of the modified car shop, a man in his forties, dressed very plainly but driving a Lamborghini Aventador, said, "According to our rules, we definitely have to test your skills. Any car here is worth over a million yuan at market price, and the modification usually costs more than the car itself."

"Boss Xu, feel free to test me,"

Du Ke smiled confidently and said, "However, you should know that I usually only diagnose and provide modification ideas; I don't easily get my hands dirty."

Boss Xu nodded. "If you really have the skill, I'll offer you a million yuan annual salary!"

In the subsequent test, Boss Xu followed Du Ke, looking at the cars one by one. Boss Xu originally had a set of modification testing procedures.

But Du Ke casually opened a Ferrari that was being inspected, took a brief look, then got in and stepped on the accelerator a couple of times before casually stating the problem: "Has the exhaust manifold been modified?"

Boss Xu's eyes lit up. "It has."

"There's a problem with the welding, which is interfering with the intake. Replacing it and re-welding it will fix it. All other issues are fine," Du Ke said, then moved to the next car.

Boss Xu signaled to the repairman, "Take off the exhaust manifold and check it."

Then he caught up with Du Ke.

The modification shop also served as a repair shop. Many modified cars had problems, especially after engine modifications, which led to numerous issues. Frequent returns to the shop for inspection were a must. The second-generation rich pursued thrills, but they valued their lives even more, bringing their cars in for inspection at the slightest issue.

And next.

Du Ke could identify problems with almost half of the vehicles being inspected. Of course, he was selective about what he revealed. He wouldn't casually mention issues that required equipment to detect.

After going through them all, Boss Xu had gained some trust in him. At the very least, Du Ke knew these modified cars inside and out; it would be impossible to understand so much without experience.

At this moment.

The repairman for the first Ferrari had already removed the exhaust manifold and then exclaimed in surprise, "Boss Xu, the exhaust manifold does have a problem. There's a crack in the welding here. Fortunately, it's not too big, otherwise, it would be fatal to drive on the road!"

Boss Xu was taken aback. He then looked at Du Ke and spoke again, his tone now filled with respect, "Master Li, no, Engineer Li, I think we can sign the contract."
