Chapter 1631 - Lily’s New Gear (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The idea of upgrading Lily’s combat strength had never crossed Hao Ren’s mind until Lily asked for it. Hao Ren found that it was not a bad idea; at least Lily’s case, it seemed promising.

The reason was simply that Lily’s long-range tactical capabilities were apparently inadequate.

There were many people in the family, but not everyone needed a firepower upgrade. Vivian and Y’zaks were both superior in strength; they were the typical example of multirole fighters, skilled in both short-range and long-range attacks. They excelled in magic arts and other talents, and had no apparent weaknesses. Likewise, the little demoness, Y’lisabet was talented just like her papa; what she needed most was to learn to grow organically, not upgrade externally. Good looks comprised Nangong Sanba’s core strength, and DPS took a backseat; so, he needed selfie and posing skills more than others, and Hao Ren would be of no help in that case. Meanwhile, Nangong Wuyue’s DPS was a constant zero, hence no upgrade path was available for her. Rollie was barely an operations team member, and her biggest weakness was her lack of intelligence; as such, upgrading was out of the question.

All things considered, Hao Ren still thought that giving Lily power upgrades was the easiest and most effective option because he already had a plan in mind.

Hao Ren smiled as he looked at the husky, whose eyes were already shining. “Leave it to me. Since I’m free now, I’ll work out an upgrade path for you.”

“What are you two talking about?” Vivian was suddenly heard saying. She asked because while cleaning up the table, she noticed the two had acted strangely at the side. So, she could not hold back her curiosity. “What a silly smile you have there, Doggie.”

“I asked Mr. Landlord to upgrade my gear!” Lily wagged her tail excitedly, and her ears flicked uncontrollably. “Mr. Landlord has agreed!”

Gear upgrade?” Vivian blinked. “Oh, ya. Your claws really need an upgrade to live up to their name.”

Lily pouted. “It’s not that!”

“We’re studying how to improve her combat effectiveness,” Hao Ren explained with a smile. “Beast mode not only increases her various combat abilities, but it also magnifies her weakness. She lacks long-range capabilities and endurance. She can’t perform refined motor control and movement, plus she has a communication problem, which I intend to tackle as well.”

The others in the house had come up curiously with Nangong Sanba saying, “Gee, sounds like a big upgrade. How is it that you suddenly thought about solving this?”

“She asked me about it.” Hao Ren pointed at Lily. “This weakness has become obvious in recent battles. I will take this opportunity to fix it in the next few days.”

The upgrading of Lily’s combat capability had caused a stir. Perhaps everyone was bored at home already; they flung themselves into the discussion and started to give opinions. They were comrades in battles and knew each other’s strengths and weaknesses. So, the rowdy debate had actually come up with something constructive that might otherwise be overlooked.

But implementation wise, they could not help much. Hao Ren was planning to redesign a set of high-tech gear for Lily.

As Hao Ren and the MDT was discussing the blueprint, everyone except Lily left, and the room became quiet.

“Are you planning to wait for the blueprint here?” Hao Ren glanced at the husky maiden with a forced smile. “It will take some time; at least a day or two.”

Lily thought it made sense and went back in to watch her TV show.

But after a short while, Hao Ren could vaguely someone was prowling up to him from behind. He turned around at once. “Did I not tell you… Rollie?”

It was not the husky but the dumb cat. The cat maiden jumped out of her skin and nearly sprung up the backrest of the sofa when Hao Ren turned around. “Meow! Big Boss Cat, you scared the hell out of me!”

“It was you who scared me. Why were you sneaking up behind me?” Hao Ren shot Rollie a glance. He suddenly remembered that Rollie was not participating when everyone was here in the discussion earlier. It was out of her character. “Where have you been? What is the fan for?”

The cat maiden waved a paper fan and asked curiously, “Big Boss Cat, what big fan of cats means? Show me! I have brought the fan.”
