V2/Chapter 48: Summoner skill Flash has been unlocked.
"Come to think of it, I still have the pair of goggles that you gave me, Brother Yue."
When she thought about the first time the two met, Pardofelis recalled the gift that Ai Yue gave her in return for saving her life.
It is a pair of goggles that look nothing special, but they have magical functions. They can increase the brightness of light received in dark environments, thus giving people a certain degree of night vision.
With this thing, Pardofelis is more like a cat.
"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"
Ai Yue was a little confused. He didn't know why Pardofelis' thoughts suddenly jumped to this place. "But now, thinking about it, the goggles are really crudely made."
That was a test product that Ai Yue made when he was exploring the functions of the system. Because he didn't have a comprehensive grasp of the system's functions, the things he made were a mess and could only guarantee the most basic functions. Even though Ai Yue couldn't control the imagined picture well, its pair of lenses were not actually on the same horizontal line, but one side was high and the other side was low, which looked very funny to wear.
"Who said that? It's great!"
Faced with the producer's own comments, Pardofelis protested, "I won't let you say that about my baby!"
After all, it was the first time she received a gift from someone else.
"Okay, okay, I won't say any more."
Ai Yue opened the outer protective cover of the device in front of him and took out a belt from it, "Let's try your big baby now."
"Hey, now all we need is a belt?"
Pardofelis took the belt from Ai Yue, but did not find any other accessories. She was a little surprised. "Brother Yue, your research results have been upgraded again?"
"Well, after optimization, only one belt is needed to meet all the wearing needs."
Ai Yue nodded, and couldn't help showing a satisfied expression, "This is right."
In fact, after studying the power of the Herrscher of the Void, it is not difficult to carry a whole set of armor on a belt. The difficulty lies in how to accurately position the unfolded armor to the corresponding part of the human body when transforming. When Ai Yue was testing before, he often encountered situations where the helmet was hung on the chest, or the hand armor did not wrap the palm but was attached to the back of the hand.
Therefore, other parts are not so much for increasing storage space as for facilitating the positioning of the armor. Now that the positioning problem has been solved, there is naturally no need for those cumbersome accessories.
"I see. I'll try it right away."
Pardofelis took a few steps back to an open space, then put the belt on her body, "Can, transform!"
[Taiyi Armor, activation approved.]
The next second, a faint light lit up and down with the belt as the center, sweeping across Pardofelis's body. Then, countless armor components emerged from the light and finally wrapped around Pardofelis' body, completing the transformation.
This is a set of armor with almost no obvious protective design. Rather than being called armor, its first impression is more like a tights. Only when you look closely can you detect some designs similar to protective armor plates from the black background of the armor.
The most eye-catching thing is probably the pair of cat-ear-shaped protrusions on the head of the armor. Two high-precision special radars are hidden in the cat ears. The principle of this set of radars comes from the power of the Herrscher of Thunder. It is not only extremely accurate, but also has a low-frequency resonance effect. It can observe the space behind the object. Finally, the armor's AI "can" process it into a visual scene and presents it to Pardofelis's field of vision.
"It feels like... not much has changed?"
Pardofelis moved on the spot for a while, then suddenly jumped up, hanging herself on the ceiling through the suction system on her palm, and then landed lightly, "Is it just the driver that was upgraded?"
"A new feature has also been installed,"
Ai Yue explained, "Pardofelis, the colleague who is moving, send the command 'Quantum Leap' to the armor."
"I see."
Pardofelis nodded, then took a step back, "Quantum Leap."
The next second, her entire figure "curled up" from the outside in to a tiny point, and then this point disappeared out of thin air. After a while, it reappeared about five or six meters away, and then performed a strange "reverse playback", "stretching" Pardofelis from the inside out intact.
"This, this is?"
Pardofelis looked at Ai Yue, who was several meters away from her, and said in a doubtful voice, "What a strange feeling..."
"How is it? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ai Yue came over and put his hand on Pardofelis' shoulder. The Prometheus extension hidden in his sleeve came out and began to read the experimental data of this quantum leap. "What does it feel like exactly?"
"I can't really explain it. It's like... diving into water? I subconsciously hold my breath."
Pardofelis tried to describe it, "Everything else is fine, nothing is wrong."
Ai Yue nodded: "That's fine, it seems that you are quite adaptable."
"So what is this function, Brother Yue?"
After a brief moment of confusion, Pardofelis immediately became excited, "Is it teleportation? That's amazing, can I walk through walls?"
"In theory, it is possible. Quantum leap is... never mind. Just think of it as some kind of instant teleportation."
Ai Yue subconsciously wanted to explain, but considering Pardofelis's situation, he gave up. "In short, I need to remind you that this function must be used with caution because it has a relatively large disadvantage."
Quantum leap, as the name suggests, is what Ai Yue researched from quantum monsters. By temporarily giving special properties to the armor, it can trigger the effect of "quantum superposition" in a short period of time. Then, like quantum monsters, it can achieve a similar effect of teleportation by traveling through quantum space.
The advantage of this function is that there is no moving path, so it can be used to overcome certain obstacles. Even because quantum leap can allow the user to hide in quantum space for a short period of time, if this function can be mastered, it can even be used to avoid certain attacks that cannot be avoided under normal circumstances.
But its shortcomings are also obvious. That is, when the quantum superposition state is about to end, that is, the moment the user comes out of the quantum space, the armor will be in a "window period". If it is subjected to a severe impact at this moment, the entire suit of armor will enter the quantum collapse state due to the characteristics of the quantum superposition state. Under the influence of the quantum collapse state, most of the functions of the entire suit of armor will fail, thus putting the user in danger.
It is precisely because of this that Ai Yue chose to prioritize the implementation of this function on the Taiyi Armor. After all, compared with the other four people, Pardofelis will definitely prioritize using this function to stay away from danger. In this way, she will not be easily hit by this shortcoming.
Only after Ai Yue has completely solved this problem will he choose to implement the quantum leap function on a large scale.
"I see. From this perspective, it is a very suitable function for escaping."
Pardofelis nodded, "I understand. I will use it carefully!"
"I have faith in you."
Ai Yue nodded, and then took out a few more things, "By the way, Pardofelis, help me choose. If it were you, which one would you choose?"
