Chen Mu did not know exactly how good the X300 was, but he did know a fair amount about combat suits.
Most low-end combat suits were made from materials with relatively high resistance to energy, and were of little use. Higher-grade combat suits were no longer clothing, but a form of card machinery. They could provide Card Adepts with excellent protection without requiring them to divide their attention to control an Energy Shield. Yet although combat suits offered decent protection, they had their drawbacks.
As card machinery worn close to the body, they inevitably affected perception. With combat suit technology constantly improving, this interference had been reduced to very low levels. But for Card Adepts with exceptionally sensitive perception and extremely exacting requirements for its control, that interference still could not be ignored.
Chen Mu was one of them.
So he gave the X300 to Sang Hanshui without hesitation. Sang Hanshui's perception was not particularly sensitive, and the role he would have to take on in the future was that of a firepower specialist-one that was easily subjected to attack. This X300 was just right for him.
Xu Jia quickly regained her composure and smiled. "As you wish."
The X300 was soon delivered. It looked like a dark blue vest of stiff cotton, and was so light in the hand that its weight was barely noticeable. It was easy to imagine that wearing it would not hinder movement at all.
It really is card machinery! Chen Mu's gaze fell on the back of the vest, where there was a card slot, presumably for inserting an Energy Card. He was no stranger to card machinery; otherwise, he could never have made devices like the Separator and the Fern Disk.
Card machinery was an emerging field, still at a relatively primitive stage.
