198: Chapter 198 Where did the law of conservation of mass go? Is this magic?

Su Ming felt a sudden surge of playfulness, and with another thought...

In the next second, the T-shirt instantly transformed.

The molecular structure of the fabric rapidly reorganized, transforming in the blink of an eye into a sharply tailored black casual suit with crisp shoulder lines,

the fabric possessing a matte, Advanced texture. His entire aura shifted instantly.

Ye Xiao rubbed his eyes, not even having time to marvel yet.

The suit changed once more, shifting into the standard captain's uniform of the Southern Military Region. The epaulets and insignia were clearly visible, and the metal buttons glinted coldly in the sunlight.

With another thought...

The "Dark Star" heavy Source Energy battle armor previously gifted by Shen Qingci appeared, its metallic texture cold and heavy, radiating a suffocating pressure.

School uniform, trench coat, combat vest!

Even the exact same tracksuit that Ye Xiao was wearing...

The switching between various forms took only microseconds. The stitching, textures, and feels of different fabrics were all lifelike, completely indistinguishable from the real thing to the naked eye.

...

A deathly silence hung over the rooftop.

Ye Xiao was completely dumbfounded, his mouth hanging open, entirely unaware that he was about to drool.

Only one thought filled his mind: If this could turn into a Young Miss's breezy little skirt...

Wouldn't that be...

Young Master Ye had completely fallen!

Meanwhile, Director Lin Yi, this tier-seven powerhouse, had begun to tremble uncontrollably.

It wasn't out of fear.

It was an extreme, indescribable shock and ecstasy.

What had he just given away?

What kind of ultimate treasure had he just personally handed over?!

How was this some clumsy, heavy defensive armor?

This was clearly a "Garment of God" with infinite possibilities!

Perfect emulation of any clothing... meant

the ultimate camouflage capability, allowing entry into any venue.

A terrifying weight...

meant an unparalleled defensive foundation.

And now, it had achieved Fusion with a monster who could perfectly control it!

Teacher Lin Qinyin... No!

Family Head Lin!

What kind of Heaven-Defying object did she actually dig up from Ruins No. 69?!

Director Lin Yi's heart pounded wildly.

Just moments ago, he had wanted to stop all of this, and had even wanted to humiliate this high school student...

At this thought, his back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

Right then, the System's voice rang out in Su Ming's mind once more.

[Ding! Host, please customize the name of the armament. Once named, it will be permanently archived, and the full permissions for the Celestial Armament Evolution Tree will be unlocked.]

The name "exo-colonial star core armor" was indeed too much of a mouthful.

Su Ming lightly pinched the corner of the simulated hoodie he was wearing, feeling the incredibly realistic texture of the fabric. Terms filled with Concept from the Huaxia civilization of his past life flashed through his mind.

"Sinking Gold as the substance, the star core as the soul..."

He murmured to himself.

"Then let's call it... sinking star!"

[Ding! Host's custom name confirmed: sinking star.]

[Synchronized and archived into the Celestial Armament System.]

[Celestial Armament Evolution Tree unlocked!]

A magnificent and vast image of an inverted celestial tree slowly coalesced in the starry sky of his mind.

The roots were not buried in soil, but were firmly anchored in that dark-gold star core Origin.

The dense main trunk extended vertically upward.

At the very bottom, a node labeled [Planetary Class] glowed with a deep blue shimmer, heavy and solid.

Two illuminated branches extended from this node, corresponding to [Armor Mimicry] and [Heavy Core Defense] respectively.

Further up was the larger and dimmer [Stellar Class] node, which was currently just a hazy projection of light, suspended far in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.

The higher tiers faded into the darkness, their outlines unclear, yet their presence could still be sensed.

On the side of the panel, a clear list of attributes refreshed simultaneously:

[Equipment: sinking star]

[Grade: Planetary Class (Damaged Base State)]

[Current Repair Progress: 3.7%]

[Function 1: Armor Mimicry] Can replicate the appearance, feel, and weight of various close-fitting clothes and light battle armors at a molecular level.

Maintained with zero consumption, perfectly concealing any traces of armament.

(Note: Currently unable to generate independent weapons and complex machinery detached from the body surface)

[Function 2: Heavy Core Defense] Passive ability.

Automatically triggers upon physical impact, instantly compressing the crystal lattice of the affected area to core-level density, relying on extreme rigidity to absorb damage and reflect it back along the original path.

Can actively activate the full-body Heavy Core form, globally increasing defense strength and self-weight.

Only 3.7% repair progress?

Su Ming rubbed his chin.

To have such ridiculous effects even in a damaged state, if it were restored to 100%...

This garment is practically custom-made for me.

This is another massive profit!

He closed the panel with satisfaction and looked up, his gaze falling upon Director Lin Yi, whose expression looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"Old Mr. Lin, what are you doing?"

"When you touched me just now, were you trying to help me test the clothes?"

Director Lin Yi's throat bobbed.

"Test your ass!"

"This old man was trying to teach you a lesson just now!"

Considering that body just now, which was as hard as divine metal...

calling it a mere touch was actually quite reasonable!

He looked down at his hand; the knuckles of his index and middle fingers had already swollen into a deep purple, and he could clearly feel the fractures in his bones.

A tier-seven Late Stage Physical Body strength, injured purely by the bodily hardness of a greenhorn who seemed to have absolutely no Source Energy fluctuations?

It's all Family Head Lin Qinyin's fault!

If this kid was so badass, why didn't you say so earlier?

You made me come here to play the clown!

Su Ming was still pinching here and there, like a child who had just received a new toy.

"Tsk, feels nice. Much more comfortable than that ragged T-shirt of mine that's been washed for three years."

Su Ming muttered, kicking the real T-shirt he had just taken off to the side, then looked up and grinned at Director Lin Yi.

"Elder Lin, I'm very satisfied with these clothes. Please thank Instructor Lin for me when you go back."

Director Lin Yi's mouth twitched.

"Satisfied?"

"Of course you're fucking satisfied!"

"A hundred and eight tons of Liquid Sink-Gold Suit—no more than five people in the entire Federation can wear it, yet in your hands, it directly fused into your body and became an ordinary T-shirt?"

"Where did the law of conservation of mass go?"

"Where did the hundred and eight tons go?"

"He... can use magic, right?!"

Director Lin Yi forced out a smile that looked worse than crying, his waist unconsciously bending as he spoke with utter humility.

"Mr. Su... Mr. Su, as long as you are satisfied! As long as you are satisfied!"

He took two steps forward, rubbing his hands.

"To have Fusion achieved with a Prodigy like you is the honor of our Star Dome Heavy Industry!"

"Do you have any other requirements? Just say the word, and I will immediately have the group headquarters allocate them for you!"

He had only one thought now.

"Remedy this!"

"He must absolutely not let the relationship sour!"

However, Su Ming merely spared him a faint glance, stretched, and turned to wave at Ye Xiao, who was still dazed.

"Let's go, Little Ye."

"Back to the room for training."

"Ah? Oh, okay!"

Ye Xiao froze for a moment, then a painful yet excited expression appeared on his face as he eagerly followed behind.

The two entered the elevator without looking back, and the elevator doors slowly closed.

Only when the elevator numbers began to drop rapidly did Director Lin Yi feel as if his strength had been entirely drained, nearly collapsing onto the floor.

He panted heavily, his chest heaving violently.

"We bet right..." "The Lin family... really hit the jackpot this time!"

"Family Head Lin is truly wise!"

...
