This time, it took half an hour for a special car to deliver the tactical suit and place it on the table.
Zhou Zheng picked up the two tactical suits and happily returned to his bedroom to begin the talisman blessing and modification.
Tang Ying raised her hand and opened her mouth, but hesitated, looking quite regretful.
Xiaoxue asked curiously, "Sister Tang, you want one too?"
Tang Ying: "...Of course I want it, but I don't know how high the price will be, and I don't have the face to talk to Master Zhou about these things."
Xuan Yizi said enviously, "The price is both high and low. But it's clear that neither you nor I are in the category of those who don't pay a high price."
Tang Ying understood the situation and could only sigh with envy, "Master Zhou is truly a dedicated person."
Xiaoxue chuckled sweetly and subtly changed the subject: "Brother Zhou is such a nice guy."
Around noon, Zhou Zheng finally brought out two tactical suits and placed them on the table, letting out a sigh of relief with a slight look of regret on his face.
Xiaoxue quickly handed him the water glass: "What's wrong, Brother Zhou? Did something happen? Don't overwork yourself."
Zhou Zheng took a sip of water and silently spat it back into the cup: "It's hot, you idiot." It was obvious to the naked eye that this pretty girl had absolutely no experience in taking care of people.
Xiaoxue blushed and hurriedly took the water glass, blowing on it gently, as obedient as a rabbit holding a carrot.
Xuan Yizi looked at him questioningly, and Tang Ying, holding her coffee cup, looked over curiously.
Zhou Zheng said regretfully, "I originally thought the talisman set would enhance my combat ability, but in actual experience, I only need a helmet at most. Wearing this talisman set actually hinders me."
Xuan Yizi was taken aback: "That shouldn't be the case. Having a set of talismans is better than not having one."
Zhou Zheng thought for a moment, then turned his right hand into a sword finger and aimed it at his left palm. A qi sword talisman struck his palm and pierced through it instantly. Blood... but no blood flowed out. The wound healed and returned to normal at a rapid speed.
The active effect of the Rejuvenation Technique's internal energy has kicked in; its powerful self-healing ability is simply too strong.
Sigh, I'm out of ideas. I'm really busy with all the counting and manufacturing.
Xuan Yizi: "?"
Tang Ying: "?"
Xiaoxue: "...?"
Zhou Zheng said regretfully, "There's nothing I can do. The immortality is still too strong. Wearing a tactical suit in this hot summer is too hot and stuffy. It's better to wear something light and loose."
Theoretically speaking, wearing a talisman suit is indeed better than not wearing one, but in reality, it's perfectly acceptable to prepare talisman items before battle and activate them automatically or temporarily consume spiritual power to quickly create buffs during combat. Wearing this stuffy tactical suit would actually negatively affect one's mood.
Xuan Yizi stared in disbelief: "An immortal body?"
Xiaoxue was confused: "Brother Zhou, you didn't heal this quickly last night."
Tang Ying was extremely envious: "Master Zhou is truly incredibly powerful."
Zhou Zheng chuckled: "Just kidding. Master Xuan should know better than me the benefits of cultivating the Rejuvenation Technique."
Xuan Yizi blushed and said, "No, I don't know. I've never seen anyone cultivate the Rejuvenation Technique and develop supernatural powers."
Zhou Zheng was surprised: "This doesn't happen in the cultivation world?"
Xuan Yizi's eyes welled up with tears: "Theoretically speaking, under perfect ideal conditions, anyone can acquire supernatural powers through cultivation. But in reality, from a practical perspective, those who can fully cultivate a technique are already the elite of the elite, let alone supernatural powers."
If cultivating techniques can be done through hard work, then developing supernatural powers depends solely on talent—supernatural powers cannot be developed without talent.
A question mark appeared above Zhou Zheng's head: "Could it be that my talent is really that extraordinary?"
Xuan Yizi choked for a moment: "Take me for example, I also cultivate the Rejuvenation Technique. But the biggest effect of the Rejuvenation Technique on me is that when I encounter chaotic spiritual energy, I can suppress it with my self-healing power, so as not to suffer serious injuries and be on the verge of death due to qi deviation. As for my self-healing ability... for example, a wound that would have healed in a week can be healed in three days by running the Rejuvenation Technique, that's all."
Is it useful? Yes, it is.
Is someone as amazing as Master Zhou? Definitely not.
He didn't even use his internal energy!
Zhou Zheng touched his neck: "So my talent is this amazing? Never mind then. Xiaoxue, try this on and let me see how it looks."
Xiaoxue was overjoyed and rushed up to hug Zhou Zheng, but was immediately pinned down by a ruthless iron hand: "Mmm~ give me a kiss... You're so heartless! My ally!"
Zhou Zheng pressed her head down: "I don't want to be shot by your dad yet, you'd better go and get a different one."
Xiaoxue was extremely disappointed, so she picked up her tactical suit and dragged Tang Ying into the bedroom to change.
Zhou Zheng let out a sigh of relief and lamented, "It seems I can save a lot of money on defensive magic items. What a pity, what a pity."
Xuan Yizi remained silent, sipping his tea, refusing to engage with his boasting. He wondered what Zhou was so regretful about this week.
A moment later, Xiaoxue ran out in her tactical suit, her face beaming with surprise: "Brother Zhou, these bullets have blue runes on them! What kind of enchantment is that?"
Zhou Zheng: "The first two are talismans for suppressing evil spirits, used as a warning. The rest are all talismans for exorcising evil spirits. Thunder talismans are very demanding on the user; if you use them incorrectly, they will harm me, so I didn't use them."
Judging from her appearance, Xiaoxue doesn't seem to have much experience with firearms. She should start with the basics and gradually increase the difficulty once she's become more proficient.
Tang Ying pressed the intercom to call someone over to help with the test.
The armed security guard, who had recently been punched and sent flying, walked in with a serious face and a riot shield.
Zhou Zheng was taken aback: "Why is it you again?" Could this guy have masochistic tendencies? Does he only feel happy after being punched twice in the morning?
Armed security: "...losing at rock-paper-scissors."
Zhou Zheng chuckled, got up and went over to draw a three-piece set of talismans for him: Vajra Talisman, Mighty Strength Talisman, and Rejuvenation Talisman, so that this guy wouldn't get hurt later.
Preparations complete, testing to begin.
"Bang!!!"
The armed security guards retreated five or six meters, their riot shields shattered, and their arms trembled with pain.
Xiaoxue and Tang Ying rushed over to check.
Zhou Zheng: "It's alright, just let him rest for a bit. Xiaoxue, come here."
The armed security guard shook his head at Xiaoxue to indicate that he was alright. Compared to last time, he was well prepared this time.
Xiaoxue came running over excitedly. Zhou Zheng inspected the tactical suit and nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, the tactical suit is durable. Not only can it hold more talismans, but it also shows almost no damage on the surface. If refined, it even has great potential for improvement."
With this talisman set, Xiaoxue can also become an aid to the combat team, for example, she can be assigned the task of clearing out mobs.
Seeing Zhou Zheng's smile, Xiaoxue smiled even more broadly: "Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, what should I do next?"
Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "How about we go for a 20-kilometer run to warm up, wearing the talisman suit?"
Xiaoxue: "...For love, I'll fight tooth and nail!!!"
Zhou Zheng gave a thumbs-up: "Keep it up!"
With tears in her eyes, Xiaoxue, dressed in her tactical outfit, headed straight to the gym, beginning to taste the bitterness of love.
Zhou Zheng shrugged, sat on the sofa, and inspected the handgun. Whether intentionally or not, he had given him a Glock 17. This gun was very reliable and easy to modify, but its performance was just so-so—in fact, the best handguns are modified from good models according to one's own needs, but there is no such environment in China.
I took it apart to check it, then recalled the process, and reassembled it carefully. I weighed it in my hand and felt slightly satisfied: "Not bad."
This is Zhou Zheng's habit; he always checks his equipment before each mission, and he also checks or maintains it in his spare time.
Xuan Yizi was surprised: "Master Zhou knows about firearms?"
Tang Ying stared at Zhou Zheng's face, trying to find clues.
