"Of course."
Zhu Ziwen waved a hand, shutting off the Holographic Image in the conference room.
"But you're an Academician! What if..." Xia Zhou grew anxious at once. "You said yourself that the creatures on the Lost Star are extremely dangerous. Aren't you..."
"Asking to die?" Zhu Ziwen laughed heartily and clapped Xia Zhou on the shoulder.
"Do you know who developed the second-generation Exoskeleton Armor?"
Xia Zhou's gaze shifted slightly, as though he had realized something, but he said nothing.
"I led the team that developed it!" Zhu Ziwen said with some pride. "Do you know how much user feedback I collected for it?"

"To refine the design plans for the next generation of Exoskeleton Armor, I need accurate battlefield data."

The excited smile gradually faded from Zhu Ziwen's face.
He met Xia Zhou's eyes and nodded earnestly.
