Arknights' Lock of Heaven

That's normal. After all, chainsaws are such expensive weapons. If it weren't for Terra's advanced materials science and the physical prowess of Terrans, no one would choose to use a chainsaw as a weapon.

But even the most reliable chainsaws can't last long under such strain.

Hearing the strange noise from his weapon, Huang reluctantly stopped the experiment.

Then he turned around and hugged Amiya.

"Ahhh, little bunny! Where did you get such a wonderful thing?"

"How many are there in total? If there are enough, when will they be assigned to my squad?"

While rubbing her face, he excitedly exclaimed, "This feeling... is so amazing!"

Even though she was obsessed with petting Amiya, she couldn't bear to put down the cards in her hand.

"Food hole scared away!"

Amiya struggled fiercely in Huang's arms.

She was already used to the operator's excessive enthusiasm.

But I'm still a little... overwhelmed...

Upon seeing this, Xia Yu canceled the activated spell on the card.

The power on Huang vanished instantly, leaving her stunned on the spot.

Then Amiya took the opportunity to escape from her arms.

"Amiya..." Huang's voice trembled slightly as she felt the power suddenly disappear. "This... why isn't it working... did I break it?"

"No, it's nothing..." Amiya explained, "You were just too enthusiastic..."

“Uh…” Huang was stunned when he heard this.

What does this have to do with being too enthusiastic?

“Because you got too excited, Amiya couldn’t handle it,” Xia Yu explained, “so I canceled the effect.”

"As for your question, I can answer you. In the near future, such cards will become standard equipment of Rhodes Island."

"The reason I've gathered you all here today is for this very reason."

234 Mudstone so idle it's practically limp

"Standard equipment..."

Hearing this, Huang muttered to himself while rubbing the card in his hand.

"This...is standard equipment?"

"Yes, although this is just an early prototype, it will eventually be available to everyone."

Xia Yu nodded in response.

"What? This is just a test subject?"

Huang finally couldn't hold back any longer when he heard this.

She had long heard of Xia Yu's reputation; these days, gossip about him had spread like wildfire on Rhodes Island.

Moreover, I had witnessed his abilities in Chernobog.

But it still exceeded my expectations.

“Of course,” Xia Yu took the card from Huang’s hand.

"The shape of the card is just something I made for convenience."

Whether or not adjustments are needed is something you need to discuss.

"Should we make it into equipment directly? Or keep it as a card?"

"Also, the emphasis of the increase can actually be adjusted."

"For example, even though they are both vanguards, the needs of a striker and a standard bearer are different. Even though they are both guards, Huang is a strong attacker, which is different from the roles of swordsman, warrior, and fighter."

"In addition, there are subcategories for snipers, casters, and even medics, to accommodate operators with different roles."

"To be honest, I still don't quite understand these things, so I need you to first create an intention form, gather the veteran operators of each profession together, and discuss the areas that need to be strengthened in their respective professions, as well as the direction of focus."

"I need a detailed table to define the magic tricks for each profession."

"Magic?" Amiya looked at Xia Yu in confusion. "What is this?"

“This is the name of this product,” Xia Yu said, looking at the card in her hand covered with spell patterns, her eyes filled with reminiscence.

"Why not just call it magic?" the professor asked eagerly from the side. "What kind of magic device is this?"

Upon hearing this, Huang nodded in agreement.

"Magic... is not such a cheap thing."

Xia Yu looked at the professor with a meaningful expression.

Trying to trick me into revealing information?

Ha ha.

Whatever you want.

"This is cheap?" Huang Maomao's eyes widened and her ears twitched. "Advisor, do you know how many people would scramble for this if it were out there?"

You call this cheap?

"The first changed everything, the second acknowledged countless things, the third revealed the future, the fourth concealed its presence, and the fifth, which ended the story, had long since lost its meaning."

Xia Yu said calmly, "Aside from these five, the rest can only be called magic."

"What...what's going on?"

Huang was completely bewildered when he heard this. What did they just say?

Yes, that's a good question. What does it say?

Actually, Xia Yu didn't know either.

Really!

The first law is nobody's guess, the second law is parallel world interference, the third law is soul materialization, the fourth law is of unknown origin, the fifth law... although it has appeared, there hasn't been much positive description of it, so it's hard to define.

To put it simply, no matter which magic you master, you can basically roam freely in Type-Moon.

Of course, this doesn't include those few abnormal timelines.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Xia Yu with great confusion.

"Don't look at me like that, I only have a superficial understanding myself."

Seeing this, Xia Yu shrugged, "I only know two of them."

"Well, let me tell you about the third law."

"The third law is the materialization of the soul, which you can simply understand as immortality."

"Of course, the effects of the Third Law are not limited to these; immortality is just one of its functions."

"Only in this way can it be called magic."

Xia Yu flicked the card in her hand, "Compared to these toys of mine, they may seem amazing to you, but someone would laugh their head off if they saw them."

I'm talking about you! Leonardo da Vinci!

"Immortality..." Upon hearing this, the doctor said quietly, "Well... there's really no comparison."

“Alright, let’s leave this topic here,” Xia Yu clapped her hands, drawing everyone’s attention back. “Actually, these cards have another flaw.”

"That's an energy supply problem."

He frowned as he said this.

To be honest, this problem had been bothering him for a long time.

“If you were to use your Originium Arts to power this,” he glanced at Huang, “you’d probably be drained dry in less than two minutes.”

There is a loss in the conversion of Originium energy into magic power, not to mention the energy supply for Originium Arts users.

An elite operator can only last two or three minutes at most, which is about the same as Ultraman's lifespan.

However, a duration of two or three minutes is far from enough to face some dangerous situations.

Not to mention that after that, the operatives could be carried directly to the infirmary.

Xia Yu believed that if Leonardo da Vinci were to come, perhaps he would have a solution.

But where could he find a Leonardo da Vinci?

Ugh.

So in the end, they chose to use the Holy Grail for energy.

But there's a problem with that.

The Holy Grail is certainly powerful enough; as long as you exist in this world, it can reach you.

But how will the fees be calculated?
