Chapter 274: Chapter 228 New Equipment_1

What are the benefits of making an alloy from dragon scales?

Resistant to fire and impact? That’s just the basics, but more importantly, this thing has good heat dissipation. Yes, good heat dissipation—Zheng Yichen learned about this during a casual chat with Ahn Qi.

Fire dragons can immerse themselves in magma, even in the Hazy City world, which is a very unique ’material’ property in itself. Moreover, after some testing, researchers found that after a fire dragon emerges from magma, the temperature of the scales on its body remains quite normal.

The scales of a fire dragon have an extremely high heat capacity and can absorb a vast amount of heat. Magma can hardly raise the temperature of the dragon scales, let alone the heat emitted by a computer in operation, which would be absorbed by the scales.

While the scales are on the fire dragon, it can actively increase their temperature, but once they are no longer attached to the body of the dragon, achieving this effect requires some other methods.

If used purely as a material, it’s a very superior heat-dissipative material, which is also exceptionally tough. It has enough resistance against energy attacks like electromagnetic pulses, mainly because the dragon scales inherently have resistance to Elements, making them much more useful than some insulating materials.

"Sigh, I wonder what it’s like to play games on this kind of computer," Zheng Yichen said as he picked up a wet towel next to him and wiped his face.

Looking at the fruits of a hard night’s work, he nodded with satisfaction. To ensure that this car remained unharmed, he had been extremely careful during the process—not even chipping the paint. As for the removed car computers, Zheng Yichen planned to use them as normal home computers at home.

The performance speaks for itself. They’re far better than ordinary computers, even for home use. However, when the car needs further modifications in the future, he will have to pay extra attention.

But for now, there’s no need for all that. For upgrades and such, he could just get new parts from Ahn Qi, and the artificial intelligence Lilith could detect the information of those parts. Later on, he could modify them on his own under guidance.

"I don’t know much about computers, but seeing your mood, this upgrade must be really good, right?" Eileena said to a very cheerful Zheng Yichen, "I also have some good news here."

The thing she mentioned before was now made—a cloak that housed the spirit in that fur is now crafted by her into a half-cloak. The black cloak was very soft to the touch. Zheng Yichen took it and shook it in his hand: "Is this thing very sturdy?"

"...Not really," Eileena immediately shook her head: "It’s not an equipment for combat, but for assistance. You may call it the cat spirit cloak. To ensure its effectiveness, I’ve woven in your hair and the serpent’s exuvia."

The serpent’s exuvia and the fur didn’t conflict with each other, but thanks to the circular power of the exuvia, it also greatly benefited the spirit residing within, maintaining its strength over time without becoming weaker. Zheng Yichen’s hair also possessed the same circular qualities as the serpent’s exuvia.

Add to that, the Divinity from the Supreme Demon allowed the two materials to bond more seamlessly, and this divinity also raised the functional level of the cloak.

However, even with those materials added, this garment was still not meant to withstand more damage.

"The circular qualities of the serpent’s exuvia and your hair allow the cloak to self-repair. But if it’s completely destroyed, it can’t self-repair," Eileena explained the features of the cloak, "Its self-healing ability depends on the user, and when healing, it needs to draw on the user’s vital energy."

"If you don’t want to exhaust your vital energy, you can replenish it afterward with some wild animals."

As she described, Zheng Yichen learned about the properties of the cloak. Owing to the cat spirit residing within it, and Eileena’s craftsmanship, the cloak could be considered a ’live body equipment.’ Wearing it would grant some feline characteristics, such as the agility of a cat.

This was a passive benefit, while an active effect was that the cat spirit could transform.

"May I give it a try?"

Eileena made a polite gesture to Zheng Yichen.

Zheng Yichen draped the half-cape over himself and tried it the way Eileena had instructed. Immediately, everything around him seemed taller, and his viewpoint also became wider. Moving around, Zheng Yichen felt a bit uncomfortable, but it seemed he had also gained some cat-like instincts, ensuring he wasn’t completely immobilized.

He jumped onto a table, and Eileena held a mirror up to Zheng Yichen. He looked closely and asked, "Why is it an orange cat?"

Considering the color of the cloak, he had expected something like a black cat. But now, looking in the mirror, he felt slightly dismayed to see his reflection; he lifted his paws to check. Undoubtedly, a pristine orange...well, more accurately a color close to that of dusk.

Definitely not fat!

"It could be related to individual factors," said Eileena, though she seemed uncertain. But she believed the breed wouldn’t change too much, as the cat spirit itself belonged to this breed.

So, during the transformation, only the color and silhouette vary?

He stared at his reflection for a while; with a thought, Zheng Yichen’s body changed again. The hair on his arms swiftly receded, revealing the clothes he was originally wearing: "The clothes can change too, pretty nice."

"If it weren’t for the divine material’s influence, it would be difficult to achieve this extent," Eileena said. "Even so, some overly powerful objects cannot change along with it, unless those items themselves possess transformative properties."

"Carrying a fishing rod as a cat shouldn’t seem too strange, right?" Zheng Yichen thought. Although the fishing rod was unaffected by the cat spirit cloak, its convenience was undeniable. Not to mention that if the essence collected by the cloak overflowed, it would manifest as the shadow of a black cat.

You could reach out and stroke it.

"In the future, if I collect some other creatures’ pelts, I could make something similar, right?" Zheng Yichen asked.

Alina shook her head: "That’s not possible. The original owner of this skin had necromantic or similar powers, which is why it can be used to craft such an item."

She straightforwardly dismissed Zheng Yichen’s idea.

"Well, okay. I’ll try to collect some suitable materials when I can."

Then came the time for a night outing. He rode his new bike, taking Katrina to the North Lake in the Old Capital. The Old Capital was always under development, with rivers, lakes, forests—all of it. Just like any other visitor, Zheng Yichen sat by the lake, cradling a well-behaved white kitty in his lap.

The cat in his arms purred lazily.

A newly acquired good bike needs to be ridden, and newly obtained equipment must be properly used. Of course, one doesn’t have to use the equipment personally. As for the issue of weight after transformation, well, magic is involved, so let those who want to understand the mechanics scratch their heads over it.

He was simply a user.
