497 Lunardo (1)

In a large warehouse at the Primordial Research Institute headquarters.

“This Black Wind Mark I spaceship is 92 meters long. It’s a spaceship commonly assigned to Lv. 9 Origin lifeforms at the Primordial Research Institute; it’s priced at 500 billion cosmic dollars.” Secretary General Blacksky smiled and introduced it. “Of course, it’s mainly thanks to the standards of the Primordial Research Institute’s Lv. 9s that it can be sold at such a high price. Its true cost is probably only 100 billion cosmic dollars.”

Xu Jingming nodded. “This will be pretty much the best spaceship I have.”

“Its warp travel can traverse a maximum distance of 15 million light-years,” Blacksky said. “As a small spaceship, it has a fast cooldown and only needs 30 minutes to carry out a second warp. Overall, as a carrier for Lv. 9 Origin lifeforms, it is considered ordinary. The only advantage is that it’s free.”

Xu Jingming smiled. What more did he want from something free?

“Come on in.” Blacksky entered the spaceship, and Xu Jingming followed. “Let’s collect Primordial Battle Armor #9 now. This battle armor is only for your use. The Primordial Research Institute will retrieve it when you don’t need it or when you die in the future.”

“There’s no information on this Primordial Battle Armor #9 in the virtual world.” Xu Jingming was very curious.

The spaceship quietly flew out of the warehouse.

“Of course, you can’t find any. The Primordial Battle Armor you previously wore is the standard issue v2.0, and it’s considered a mass-produced battle armor,” Blacksky stated. “In fact, when the dean gathers materials from high-dimensional space and personally produces the Primordial Battle Armor, he specially develops some costly battle armor. They all have separate numbers. Primordial Battle Armor #9 is more inclined toward safety. For example, Deputy Dean Redmond wears Primordial Battle Armor #1.”

Xu Jingming came to a realization.

Deputy Dean Redmond wearing it signified its obvious value.

“This is a priceless treasure,” Blacksky said. “Even for Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms, only the very few who are valued by the dean are qualified to wear it. You should understand the dean’s expectations of you.”

Xu Jingming nodded. He would be letting Primordial Battle Armor #9 down if he didn’t become a cosmic legend in the future.

Chi.

The spaceship silently arrived in front of a mountain.

Blacksky and Xu Jingming exited the spaceship and walked into the tunnel that had been cracked open in the mountain.

“All the Primordial Battle Armor is placed here.” Blacksky pointed ahead.

Drops of red liquid floated within the mountain, and each one of them felt like a celestial body.

“The numbered Primordial Battle Armor are in the deepest area—head on in. You only have access to #9,” Blacksky said.

Xu Jingming nodded and walked in.

The countless drops of red liquid in the mountain were wherever he passed—he saw more than 100,000 of them. Every drop was like a shrunken planet.

Gradually…

Xu Jingming saw drops of dark-red liquid floating in the air that exuded even more terrifying might. As there was no master over them, every drop had a terrifying aura like a star.

They possess immense power to begin with, so Origin lifeforms can also draw on this power when wearing them, Xu Jingming thought to himself. From Secretary General Blacksky’s words, the Primordial Battle Armor uses materials from high-dimensional space?

Primordial Battle Armor #9 is deep in. Xu Jingming continued forward.

In front of him were floating drops of black liquid; they were completely pitch-black! It was as if every drop swallowed all light like a black hole.

Every drop feels like a real black hole. There aren’t many of them, only a few hundred! I wonder who it’s for. Xu Jingming continued forward. Although it was a mass-produced black hole-like battle armor, Xu Jingming had a nagging feeling that he probably couldn’t use such battle armor.

Huh? Xu Jingming walked to the end.

He saw different-colored liquid droplets along the way. Every one of these droplets was different, and their auras were different. Some were terrifying and boundless, some were so restrained that they didn’t seem to exist, and some were so cold that it made Xu Jingming’s heart palpitate. There were also worlds within the liquid droplets…

Whoosh!

A golden drop of liquid flew over and instantly touched his body, fusing into his skin.

“Hello, Master. I’m Nine.” A delighted voice sounded. “In the future, I’ll be serving you to the best of my abilities.”

“Hello, Nine. I’m Xu Jingming. Nice to meet you.” Xu Jingming also replied with a thought.

In the future, Nine would be his most loyal companion.

“Here are my available features, Master.” A large amount of information was transmitted to Xu Jingming. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still a little dumbfounded.

This battle armor feels like the armory of a powerful civilization. If I can perfectly unleash it, it won’t be inferior to the strength of an intermediate cosmic civilization. Of course, I’ve just become an Origin lifeform, and my scientific knowledge is weak. I can only unleash a small portion of its strength. Xu Jingming also knew himself.

How much strength a weapon could unleash depended on its owner.

…

Xu Jingming walked out of the mountain after receiving Primordial Battle Armor #9.

“Store!” Xu Jingming waved his hand and stored away the small spaceship parked in front of him. This Primordial Battle Armor #9 had the function of a miniature auxiliary space—a spherical space with a diameter of more than 30,000 kilometers.
