Chapter 993 697: Adaptive Combat Suit
This time, Li Zheng didn't have anything particular he wanted from the Treasure Chest, so he left it for Mirel to open for fun.
Mirel patted the big hand on her chest, dashed to the bathroom, and carefully washed her hands for five minutes before drying them and returning.
On her way back to the bed, murmurings could be heard, and Li Zheng caught a few words: "Queen Mother... Jade Emperor... whoever it is, just bless me to get a good chest!"
Finishing her muttering, she said to Li Zheng, "I've already prayed hard, quickly extract the Treasure Chest!"
Her small pale hands rubbed together in front of her, mirroring Li Zheng's actions when he opened high-quality chests.
Li Zheng chuckled at Mirel's actions and silently thought, "Extract!"
The next moment, with a boom, a half-person-high Treasure Chest appeared in front of them.
The two looked at each other: "..."
"Is this the Treasure Chest?" Mirel pointed at the massive chest, covering her small mouth: "So big."
It was also Li Zheng's first time seeing such an absurdly large chest: "Incredible, I bet we can get something good this time."
"Don't touch it!" Mirel held Li Zheng back, "We agreed that I would open this chest."
She walked up to the chest, with the lid reaching her waist—an unusually large size.
Resting her hands on the chest lid, she recalled a previous instance when she couldn't open a chest and put in all her strength to flip it open.
Thud!
The chest lid got flung off by her.
The chest, though large, turned out to be surprisingly light.
She looked inside: "Huh? Why are there two sets of clothes?"
Clothes?
Li Zheng got up to take a look, and indeed, inside the chest were two neatly folded sets of clothes, seemingly uniforms made by some organization, woven with shiny silver threads that gave a metallic feel.
Taking the clothes out of the chest and unfolding them, it turned out to be a one-piece suit, and it felt very silky, the cool touch being quite pleasant.
"This outfit doesn't seem to have a zipper or anything, how do you wear it?" Li Zheng turned it over several times, and besides the opening at the neck and limbs, he couldn't find any place to open it.
"Yeah, and it looks so ugly." Mirel took out the second set, and the chest promptly vanished.
She held the outfit disdainfully: "It's really ugly!"
[Adaptive Combat Suit, made from nano-grade materials, it is breathable, soft, comfortable, sweat-wicking, antibacterial, and deodorizing among other advantages. By attaching the back of the garment to your front, it will automatically open to envelop your body and resize according to your shape, fitting your skin closely.]
[Friendly Reminder: This is an underwear set, if you're not embarrassed, you could wear it out shopping.]
"Oh, so that's how you wear it."
Following the hint from Old Pu, Li Zheng pressed the back of the clothes onto himself and could clearly feel the garment seemingly wriggling in his hands, wrapping around his body bit by bit and adhering to him.
Finally, the shoulder part he was holding became very elongated, yet the part worn on his body didn't feel taut at all.
Once he let go, the elongated part naturally retracted, and the clothes adjusted themselves on his body to perfectly fit every inch of his skin, so light that it didn't even feel like he was wearing anything...
Watching curiously, Mirel tried it out as well.
Enveloped by the Adaptive Combat Suit, Mirel's curvaceous figure was fully highlighted, and with an extra layer of cover, she paradoxically appeared even more enticing.
"Not bad!" Mirel felt pleasantly surprised, the garment looked ugly but once worn, it completely changed her view.
"Besides the aforementioned advantages, does this outfit have any other functions?" Li Zheng continued to mentally inquire to Old Pu. It couldn't be that the things drawn from the Treasure Chest were just ordinary, right?
[The Adaptive Combat Suit has a temperature control function, ensuring that your body temperature doesn't become unbalanced even in extreme environments, plus it's both pliable and sturdy, even your Black Dragon Spear can't pierce through it.]
[Friendly Reminder: Don't expect that wearing it in battle will allow you to disregard defense, otherwise it won't break, but you might die first...]
"Still a bit ordinary..." Li Zheng was disappointed, at most it's just a more comfortable piece of underwear, as for the temperature control, with Extreme Isolation, he didn't need it.
But at a crucial time, it could save him a bit of Genetic Force, which was something rather than nothing.
[It has one more amazing function!]
[Try thinking that you need to use the bathroom right now.]
"..." Seeing this message, Li Zheng couldn't help thinking about it, and then the corresponding part of the outfit automatically opened...
This function...
What a scam!
If I was walking down the street wearing this, and suddenly had the urge to pee, wouldn't I instantly be streaking?
After adapting to it for a while, Mirel suddenly asked Li Zheng: "Do you think... with the suit fitting so snugly, if I fart, would it puff up?"
Li Zheng started to sweat: "It shouldn't, the breathable fabric functions ensure that gas is vented out immediately, so it wouldn't puff up."
"Alright." Mirel nodded, indicating she understood.
Li Zheng tilted his head: "Why do I feel like you're a bit disappointed?"
Does the outfit have to puff up from a fart for you to be satisfied?
Not right...
Even if it doesn't puff up, this clothing isn't much good!
It came from such a special chest, yet it's so underwhelming!
The only somewhat useful feature is that it can self-clean, which means fewer clothes to wash.
"Forget it, just let it be."
This so-called combat suit had taken away his excitement to open another chest at midnight. He figured his good fortune had run out on the twenty Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills, so now he only gets rubbish from the chest.
After dinner, they both rested early.
The next day, Li Zheng went back to the Gravity Research Institute to continue his training.
"Your previous record before leaving was a thirteenfold gravity factor, so I'll gradually increase it to twelvefold for you to re-familiarize yourself. If you're in good condition, we can continue to ramp it up," Rothschild, a competent researcher considerate of others, suggested starting from twelvefold gravity, fearing a regression in Li Zheng's adaptability.
Li Zheng had no objections and nodded for him to proceed.
Professor Rothschild glanced at the monitor beside him, puzzled: "Strange, why hasn't the data updated and still shows what was left before?"
Feng Yue suggested: "Could it be that the Pathfinder has maintained a great condition these days, and his body remained unchanged?"
Rothschild adjusted his glasses and said, "It's impossible to maintain perfect condition like that, let me try first..."
As he spoke, he activated the Gravity Generator to increase the gravity factor.
After a few minutes without any change to the data on the screen, he paused the equipment and asked, "Are you wearing anything that blocks signals? I'm unable to collect your body data."
At that moment, a line of text flashed before Li Zheng's eyes:
[Indeed, an additional note: the Adaptive Combat Suit also has anti-peeping functions, perfectly protecting your privacy.]
Li Zheng: "..."
This outfit lacks any necessary function, yet offers an abundance of unnecessary ones...
Clearly, it was the twenty Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills that drained his luck, leading to this kind of junk in the chest.
I've just about had it.
