CHAPTER 154: CHAPTER 154 EXOSKELETON ARMOR

At noon the next day.

Kane and his companions were quietly drinking in a corner of the tavern, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

The reason they only came out at this time was because the morning is the peak time for Explorers to enter the Dungeon, and both the tavern and the streets were bustling with Explorers.

Kane and his team were too lazy to squeeze through the crowds, so they slept in their respective rooms.

Only when the number of Explorers decreased around noon did they come out to enjoy themselves for a while.

It seemed quite a few Explorers had the same idea, as the tavern was already full of them.

But it wasn’t as noisy and crowded as last night.

"It feels like the exploration teams and guilds have been very busy lately, and they’re constantly expanding and recruiting new members."

"That’s true. The captain of my last team joined Hokas’s [Purple Crystal Pupil] guild just last week."

"Why didn’t he take you with him?"

"Do I look like someone who can get into [Purple Crystal Pupil]?"

"Not really."

"Exactly."

Kane leaned back in his chair, sipping his drink quietly while listening to the conversation from the team of Explorers behind him.

It seems that the news about the World Ring has already spread among various exploration teams and guilds, and they are starting to prepare for future explorations of the World Ring.

After clearing this Dungeon, his team should all reach Silver rank.

Thinking back, how long has it been since he became an Explorer?

It seems only two or three months. At the current pace, he should be able to achieve gold before the World Ring is opened.

Just as he was pondering over these matters, a team of Explorers sat down at the table next to them.

It was the team he previously encountered from [Fury].

Their team captain, who had a wolf head as a decoration on his shoulder, turned to Kane and extended his hand: "Hello, I’m Sack, do you remember us?"

Kane politely shook his hand and replied: "I remember, nice to meet you, you can call me Kane."

"Kane, you’re quite impressive. If it weren’t for you defeating the gatekeeping monsters on those few levels, we might still be struggling in the Dungeon."

"Haha, you’re too kind."

Seeing that Kane and his team were not very interested in conversing, Sack finally said: "I wonder if your team would be interested in joining our exploration team [Fury]?"

"Thank you for the offer, but we haven’t considered that yet. If we do, we’ll definitely think about it," Kane said, waving his hand.

After saying that, he drank the rest of his drink in one go and left the tavern with his team.

After leaving the tavern, the group walked on the newly repaired cobblestone road towards the commercial district.

"It seems you already have some ideas," Kreya said calmly, walking beside Kane.

"Yes," Kane replied, taking out a Golden Bridge Ancient Coin and holding it up to the sun: "I want to start my own exploration team."

The group wasn’t surprised at Kane’s idea.

They clearly understood their own capabilities and Kane’s potential. If they were to join another exploration team, it would be a waste of their talent.

After buying all the logistical supplies and equipment for weapon and Armor maintenance in various shops in the commercial district, they returned to the inn.

Agreeing with everyone to enter the Dungeon tomorrow morning, Kane returned to his room.

The sun had just moved from the center of the sky.

Kane prepared to complete the last link of his idea before entering the Dungeon.

Kane’s ultimate goal was to use his Origin Skills to create a Gundam.

Of course, under the constraints of Magic Power, skill range, and knowledge, he couldn’t achieve this yet.

But creating an Exoskeleton was no problem.

With the support of Skills like [Fast Reading], knowledge was quickly being absorbed by him. Every time he entered the Dungeon, he would create his new ideas and test them in practical combat.

Previously, he had completed the construction of the limbs, and now he had a good idea of how to create the central body part and connect them.

He also had to thank the Data Card dropped by the final boss of the [Gobi Ruins].

Although most of the knowledge inside couldn’t be used, their research data on constructing life forms similar to them greatly inspired Kane.

Standing in the room, Magic Power began to flow from his palms, and a blob of Transparent Play-Doh appeared, covering his entire body.

When the Play-Doh covered Kane’s body below the neck, he began to conceive the structure of various parts in his mind.

Starting with the arms, where he frequently used Steel Fist in the Dungeon, began to slowly take shape from his palms upwards, all the way to his chest.

Then Kane suddenly levitated, and the Transparent Play-Doh underfoot began to construct the exoskeleton leg parts.

The double jump shoes he once used were actually no longer needed, as Kane had already mastered them and could create the same equipment himself, even more durable and stable.

Of course, these shoes also inspired Kane’s leg construction, and this function was added to the Exoskeleton he was now creating.

As the leg structure slowly began, Kane’s body started to float into mid-air. Now, if someone opened the door, they would see Kane hovering in mid-air.

The leg construction continued all the way to Kane’s waist, and now it was the part Kane most needed to solve.

The chest and abdominal constructs extended towards each other and started experimenting after colliding together, constantly being remodeled according to Kane’s ideas.

Since this part of the construction idea also affected other already built parts, Kane was constantly expending Magic Power to adjust all over his body to achieve the best effect.

Finally, nearing evening, he drank his third Magic Potion.

He finally completed the preliminary construction of the Exoskeleton.

He was now completely floating in mid-air, walking back and forth, though from an outsider’s perspective, of course. In his own view, he was controlling the Exoskeleton Armor he just designed.

Heavy footsteps echoed throughout the room.

Kane was incredibly excited; it was his dream, after all. What man wouldn’t want an Exoskeleton Armor?

Even if it just moves, it didn’t need any combat power.

Let alone this Exoskeleton having considerable combat power, significantly enhancing Kane’s frontal assault capability, though the Magic Power consumption also increased significantly.

However, this could only be considered Kane’s trump card and not used as a regular form.
