Chapter 229: CH.227 Parasitic Armored Jacket

I woke up in the morning, with my girlfriend sleeping next to me. Ria was getting dressed, so I probably woke up to the sounds from that, as I usually do. Lua on the other hand didn’t seem to care, so I just let her sleep for a bit longer, and headed for the factory. It’s just normal for me, and as long as I have Laura keeping an eye on things outside, I should realize when Lua wakes up.

Of course there is a reason I immediately jumped here. I wanted to run some experiments here before I did them in the real world. If something messes up here, all I’ll lose is the Pack Opener cards I use, but outside, I’ll lose everything. … Okay, that is a bit of an exaggeration. But I might lose my new armor, before I even had a chance to use it in combat.

Now why didn’t I just leave this for Laura to do during the night? Well, I feel like I’ve been pushing too many things on her already, so I wanted to do it myself. And I don’t really get to do these experiments, as they just are something Laura usually does, so I’m honestly a bit excited.

 

First things first, I checked on the ‘real time’ room, or whatever I should call it. Someone, probably Tahlia, had let the blacksmithing forge out of my storage and it was now there. I saw no monsters there at the moment, so I assume they are taking a break. … remind me to reward Kotetsu and Hinotama Soul at some point. I think I’ll do it after they convert Ria’s armor into a better metal. … I’ll also have to reward the vampires. Add that to the list.

I have too many monsters. No one person could ever use them all.

Anyway, I also checked my storage, and saw that some of the iron I bought had been converted into blood iron. Other than that, it doesn’t seem like they had done anything else. The interesting part was the quality of the blood iron. When I bought the wrought iron, it was Intermediate+ in quality, but after putting it in storage and using Material Quality Increase, it became High quality. But now, I had Flawless quality blood iron in my storage. Sure some of it is because they likely used dragon blood again. Or the blood from another high ranking monster, so that would help, but I feel like they just used the Material Quality Increase first on the iron, and then again on the blood iron. I know the Material Quality Increase can only be used once per item, but at what point has the item changed to the point where it can be used again?

 

Well, back to why I came here. I made a few armor stands with a combination of Dungeon Founder and just Different Dimension Factory shenanigans, and put copies of both my and Ria’s armor on them. Three of each, just so I had a decent sized test. Then I got out a few copies of Metallizing Parasite - Lunatite so I could start.
