78: 7-day entry-level set of armor (Part 1)

Oakes had already briefed Green.

Green had one week to familiarize himself with this bio-armor no. 8.

This familiarization... wasn't just about Green putting on the armor and showing off a bit.

It was a systematic and scientific process.

This process would allow Green to gain a complete and clear understanding, recognition, and comprehension of this third-generation Bio-armor, ultimately leading to skillful mastery.

It's like when you're about to drive a car, you need to understand some basic information and the overall condition of the car, right?

You have to:

Walk around the car before driving;

(Observe the safety conditions around the vehicle, check if there are any elementary school students nearby. Don't be careless and end up in jail just by driving.)

Test the car's braking system;

(You wouldn't want brake failure, harming yourself and others. That's the biggest road killer.)

Observe the condition of the tires;

(Are they in good condition? Are they flat? Are there any nails? A blowout on the highway is not a wise choice.)

Adjust the rearview mirrors and seat;

(This is essential for comfortable and safe driving. Experienced drivers highly recommend it...)

Check if the car's lights are working properly.

(Especially the turn signals. Don't get rear-ended and be fully at fault. You'd be a scapegoat, brother...)

...Day one.

Oakes explained the historical origins, development trajectory, and basic characteristics of this third-generation Bio-armor to Green.

He also had Green fully don the armor and experience it thoroughly, satisfying his craving... Green, whose horizons had been broadened, stated:

This day was very enjoyable! So satisfying, so satisfying... Although it wasn't the cool mecha from sci-fi blockbusters, this third-generation Bio-armor still brought Green unexpected amazement.

That night... Green didn't even want to take off the armor; he wanted to sleep in it. It was only after Oakes coaxed him, saying the armor needed maintenance, that Green reluctantly took it off... Day two.

Old Moler came to give Green a lesson.

Referencing actual Demonic Black Vine specimens, he thoroughly explained this advanced Demonized Plants to Green.

This included its: cultivation history, daily care Precautions, basic characteristics of the Demonic Black Vine, the principle of the Demonic Black Vine's contribution to this armor, the advantages and disadvantages of the Demonic Black Vine, how to handle damaged Demonic Black Vine...

Finally... Old Moler gave Green a massive textbook—"100 Must-Know Tips for Maintaining Demonic Black Vine"—and told Green to study it carefully and ask him if he had any questions.

Green, who felt greatly educated, stated:

This day was very fulfilling; I learned a lot of new knowledge... Old Moler was very enthusiastic and even specifically took Green to his cultivation room to observe the entire process of a Demonic Black Vine from birth to burial.

With both video materials and physical comparisons, and even Green's hands-on practice, the teaching effect was immense.

Of course... it would have been even better if Old Moler hadn't assigned Green that thick textbook as homework... Day three.

It was Oakes again, teaching Green.

After all, Oakes was the exclusive Apothecary for armor no. 8.

On this day, Oakes also taught Green content related to Pharmacology.

Mainly two types of potions: Plant Active Solidification Potion and Plant Active Activation Potion. These two potions played a crucial role in the armor experimenter's donning and doffing process.

On this day, Green learned to independently don and doff the armor. Without anyone's help, the speed was halved.

Finally... Oakes also gave Green a thick book, "Detailed Explanation of Applied Potions for the Third-Generation Bio-armor."

Oakes stated:

Green, just read the book yourself. With your profound knowledge of Pharmacology, once you've self-studied this book, you'll basically understand all the potion-related armor knowledge.

If you don't understand, don't come to me. I haven't even passed the 3-Star Apprentice Alchemist exam yet, so I'm not as knowledgeable as you.

Green's mind: ...Day four.

It was Mentor Amir, a senior Magic Item crafter, who came to teach Green.

He mainly introduced Green to: the various minerals and rare materials used to construct this Bio-armor, as well as the basic characteristics and features of these materials.

The basic and ultimate endurance of these 6+1, a total of 7, advanced magic items, as well as some emergency handling methods for damaged parts and some simple repair and maintenance techniques.

Finally... Mentor Amir also gave Green a thick textbook, "Extraordinary '6+1': Teaching You How to Understand the 7 Main Components of the Armor," and encouraged Green to study hard, save any questions he had, and ask him when he came to maintain armor no. 8.

Green, nodding like a pounding garlic:

This day was very good, and the mentor was very kind... Although I can't build armor, I learned how to find faults in the armor... Day five.

It was Mentor Salvador, a senior Wizard Array apprentice, who came to teach Green.

This lesson was mainly practical, focusing on techniques and rehearsal plans.

The course content included:

The basics and history of the Hexagram Wizard Array, the function and usage of the Bio-armor Wizard Array, methods and precautions for conventionally activating the Guardian Wizard Array, prerequisites and precautions for extreme use of the Guardian Wizard Array, solutions for common small problems with the Guardian Wizard Array, emergency handling plans for different circuit losses...

Mentor Salvador didn't give Green any textbooks. He knew Green wouldn't understand Wizard Array knowledge if he just read it.

Evidently, Mentor Salvador understood this point well and gave Green a thin practical manual—

"Third-Generation Bio-armor — Guardian Wizard Array Usage Skill Encyclopedia and 108 Emergency Response Plans."

Mentor Salvador told Green to memorize this practical manual and handle any issues according to the plans in it. If he really couldn't solve something, then he should ask the mentor.

Green, sighing in relief:

This day was relatively easy. It was all application-based knowledge, not brain-taxing at all.

It's still that saying—

I don't need to understand how to build an armor; I just need to know how to use it...
