Evangelion Unit-01 (cont.)

Ming Ge tossed the Heart-Protecting Armor Ring over and said, "I want to mass-produce magical items like the Heart-Protecting Armor Ring, but I'm short of materials."

Alfia took the ring, and said thoughtfully, "Using disposable magical items as defensive capabilities... a very good idea."

It is difficult for ordinary people to forge weapons and armor for those in the realm of heroes. Those advanced weapons and armor are already remarkable if they only have basic performance.

However, Ming Ge's crafting skills allow him to create weapons, armor, magical items, and other equipment that can be used even by beings in the Hero Realm.

"I'll talk to the old lady, and if she agrees, I'll help mobilize resources."

Alfia stated bluntly, "But I feel that there's more to what you want to do than just this, isn't there?"

She had witnessed Ming Ge's efficiency in forging weapons. Weapons that would normally take three to five hours to forge and require a great deal of effort could be forged by him in less than a minute.

This matter wasn't urgent; it could be discussed when she returned in the evening. However, Ming Ge still called her back.

"Actually, I'm planning to build a huge one, which should be helpful in the Black Dragon subjugation battle, but it's very resource-intensive..."

Ming Ge said with a smile.

How much do you want?

Alfia was somewhat surprised.

"Hmm... I could probably exchange that for 200 to 300 billion Valis stones?"

Ming Ge tilted her head.

"How many??"

Alfia stared at Ming Ge in astonishment.

Keep in mind that even a magic book costs at most 200-300 million Valis, and a level one weapon costs the same.

Ming Ge asked for 10 billion Valis stones right off the bat, which meant he was planning to drain the savings of their two clans accumulated over a thousand years.

"A magic stone worth 200-300 billion Valis."

Ming Ge repeated it.

"Phew... you always say things that surprise me."

Alfia had a bit of a headache.

"When facing the Black Dragon, it's not surprising that we need to make a lot of preparations."

Ming Ge shrugged and smiled.

"In that case... I'm curious, how big is this 'big guy' you're talking about?"

"Alfia asked."

"Hmm... eighty meters high?"

Ming Ge thought for a moment and then said.

"..."

In that case, it will indeed take time to prepare.

Even for the Zeus Familia and Hera Familia, two or three hundred billion Valis was not a small sum.

Moreover, although they are a top-tier clan that has accumulated power for thousands of years, they do not possess that many magic stones.

The guild should have some stock, but not too much.

As for Zeus and Hera not agreeing?

The probability is very low. After all Ming Ge is trustworthy, and Alfia has endorsed him, so there's basically no problem with this.

"I'll talk to the old lady."

After a moment's thought, Alfia said, "Also, I'm really looking forward to your work."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Ming Ge laughed and said, "Creating such a large thing takes a lot of time; the sooner the better."

I'll try my best.

Alfia nodded and left.

Besides Ming Ge's matter, she had other things to do.

After all, she was a high-ranking member of the Hera Familia, and she had made considerable preparations for the battle against the Black Dragon.

Now that the Black Dragon has begun its activities, every day of delay is detrimental to humanity in this world.

Within two days at most, the two major clans will set out on their campaign.

"The magic stones are sorted out; now it's time for the mechs themselves."

Ming Ge murmured softly.

Ming Ge wasn't casual about the appearance of the mecha, but he didn't pay too much attention to it either.

Ultimately, mechs are just an appearance; after all, Ming Ge himself cannot perform many of their functions, so they only need to be suitable for combat.

"Let's go with Evangelion Unit-01."

It didn't take long before Ming Ge made her decision.

Considering that the doll Ming Ge created would become a living being in the future, and that it had a high compatibility with the AT Field, Ming Ge decided to design its appearance to resemble Evangelion Unit-01.

With Ming Ge's current brainpower, he is fully capable of figuring out every detail of Evangelion Unit-01.

"Next comes the issue of the body."

Even billions of magic stones could only serve as energy; they couldn't be used to create a physical body from soul matter—the consumption would be too great.

It's a full eighty meters tall, designed for combat...

Even excluding the consumption of soul matter, the pure magic stone energy should be enough to sustain a battle fought with all one's might.

Therefore, Ming Ge plans to transform matter into soul matter to save energy.

Ordinary materials cannot support a battle of the scale of the Black Dragon War; therefore, only the highest-grade materials are required.

Coincidentally, Ming Ge knew of a place that possessed a large quantity of top-grade materials.
