Chapter 37 (1/2)

“Elder Chuan’s gift?”

Austin looked at the dull-colored metal box in front of him.

The staff member who delivered the box nodded and said, “Yes, President Chuan asked me to pass it to you.”

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”

Austin nodded and studied the thick metal box.

In the middle of the box, there was a metallic flame-throwing symbol that was exceptionally eye-catching.

“Is this…?”

Austin immediately opened the box to verify his conjecture.

Inside were elbow guards, knee guards, breastplate, helmet, and combat uniform.

The components of the Vulcan Combat Suit lay quietly in the box of black cotton cushions.

“It’s really the Vulcan Combat Suit!”

Austin took a closer look and realized that it was part of the same series as his sister’s Fire God II combat suit.

In other words, this set of clothes was worth at least a hundred gold coins.

Now I owe Elder Chuan a favor.

Austin thought to himself.

Elder Chuan must have noticed Austin’s clothes, so he did him a favor and gave Austin a combat suit.

Although a hundred gold coins might not mean much to Elder Chuan, it was a large sum to Austin.

If I were to return it, it would make me seem unreasonable. I guess I’ll accept it and find a way to return the favor in the future.

Austin carried the metal box and returned to the room to change out of his tattered clothes. He then put on his Vulcan II combat uniform.

Austin’s Vulcan II combat suit was dark blue and carbon-fiber. Although the color was different from Catherine’s, it was still handsome.

“Nice.”

Austin moved his limbs slightly and felt extremely relaxed.

Although it looked tight-fitting, the ventilation and flexibility of the suit were much superior to ordinary clothes.

As for the armor components, they were optional.

The armor components would increase the overall defense of the combat suit.

But there were gains and losses.

With the external armor, it would reduce the flexibility of the combat suit considerably.

Why were combat suits so expensive? Not only were the materials expensive, but the defense attributes were also high.

It had plenty of variants, after all.

“With this combat uniform, I don’t have to worry about my clothes tearing apart again when I run at full speed,” Austin said.

After leaving the Magister Association, the sky had already darkened.

He felt that he did not do much at the Magister’s Association, but it still took up the entire afternoon.

“I should have dinner at the Liboli Hotel later. Better tell mom that I’m not going home for dinner.”

Austin called his mother and told her the news.

After that, Austin traveled towards the Liboli Hotel.

The beautiful setting sun.

The distant fortress walls formed a black silhouette in front of the orange-red sun. It rose and fell uniquely.

It was like a clash of magic, industrial design, and ruins that blended perfectly.

With Austin’s eyesight, he could even see the patrolling magisters on the city wall. They walked out of the resting room and peeked out carefully.

“Father is getting old. It’s time to earn money so that mom and dad can retire and enjoy life.”

Austin muttered.

His desire to earn money was as strong as the desire to become more powerful.
