The Ultimate Versatile Soldier King

Chapter 228 Online Shopping


Regarding this issue, Luo Chao thought deeply, his advantages lie in telepathy and telekinesis, excelling in judging the enemy's movements and manipulating objects to inflict long-range damage on enemies.

But after all, he is just human flesh and blood. If he encounters an enemy wielding a lethal weapon, he cannot resist, and his combat ability is significantly reduced as a result.

The scene where he was ambushed by Vulture with a pistol while protecting Lin Yun in battle still lingers vividly in Luo Chao's mind.

After all, humans are made of flesh.

Luo Chao doesn't believe he can block bullets with his body alone, let alone trained professional assassins.

It's like mages and archers in online games, they have powerful attack abilities, but their biggest and only flaw is their own defensive capability. Once they are approached by powerful assassins or warriors, they are more likely dead than alive.

"Wait! Online games? What's the difference between the characters in online games and me, besides the similarities?" Luo Chao fell into deep thought.

"Yes! It's armor! In the game, whether it's a warrior, assassin, mage, or archer, they all wear armor. For instance, warriors have heavy armor combined with cultivation of fighting spirit to protect their bodies, so their defense power is extraordinarily high."

"And mages and archers, though equipped with light armor, do not have the insane defense power of warriors, but they excel in attack power and shooting range. However, if this is applied to the real world, even light armor, I think, could easily defend against ordinary human knives, guns, sticks, and other weapons!" Luo Chao realized based on his years of online gaming experience.

Speaking of armor, Luo Chao thought of two people, both are characters from American movies, one is Iron Man Tony Stark, the other is Batman Bruce Wayne.

These two are typical representatives of ordinary humans who become superheroes, and they both have a set of high-tech armor.

If the armor of Batman Bruce Wayne serves as a means of defense and protection and has the function of disguising his true identity, then Iron Man Tony Stark's mechanical armor more serves the purpose of defense, attack, and mobility in combat, with disguising identity being secondary.

In the original text, almost everyone knows Iron Man's true identity, and the United States government has even repeatedly ordered Stark Industries to hand over the technology of the mechanical armor.

As the saying goes, "down-to-earth people rely on mutation, high-flyers rely on technology," that's the principle.

"Armor, armor, the equipment in sci-fi movies seems a bit too fantastical," Luo Chao sighed.

In movies, Iron Man's armor outer layer uses the same gold-titanium alloy as military satellites. This material stabilizes the structure of the steel armor and reduces its weight, allowing Iron Man to fly high without freezing.

Even if it really existed in reality, the cost of production would be astonishingly high, at least billions of US dollars.

The design inspiration for Batman's armor came from ancient Roman armor and Saints.

The whole body consists of 101 components, with double-layer reinforced titanium alloy panels on the legs, chest, and abdomen, not only perfectly shaping Batman's body curves but also providing superb bulletproof and impact resistance capabilities, buffering Batman's fall from heights.

The joint parts integrated with three layers of polyester mesh are denser, more ductile, and lighter, providing better protection for Batman.

"It seems more reliable to choose the most commonly seen police riot gear on TV as the battle armor to protect my body. After all, I am somewhat of a superpower user, with this telekinetic ability, if I'm careful, I won't need to rely heavily on the armor for protection," Luo Chao thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Luo Chao put away the barbell plates and speedometer and returned to his room.

Luo Chao opened a shopping website and typed the words "riot gear."

Immediately, many products appeared on the web page, some costing thousands, others only a little over a hundred, seemingly varying in quality.

However, adhering to the belief that you get what you pay for, Luo Chao ordered a riot suit costing over two thousand. The description says it's made by the famous American DuPont Company.

This riot suit is practical to wear, convenient, provides flexible body movement, has an excellent appearance, and a reasonable design of the connection structure. It is high-temperature resistant, impact resistant, features excellent anti-stab performance, with the knife not penetrating the vertical stab protection layer. It is made with non-toxic, flame-retardant materials, using advanced cushioning technology to set up a ventilation system, with a total weight of 6.5 kilograms.

Seeing this, Luo Chao was very satisfied.

With a weight of 6.5 kilograms, within a radius of 200 meters, he can easily control the flight of the riot suit, reminiscent of the scenes in movies where Iron Man's battle armor can also be controlled by a computer to fly to the protagonist, and can even be self-assembled.

Thinking of that handsome scene, Luo Chao couldn't help but laugh foolishly.

"Eh?" However, Luo Chao quickly noticed the problem, "This is a riot suit, it can resist fire, impact, and knife stabs, but it certainly can't stop bullets. Although Huaxia's firearm management has always been very strict, better safe than sorry..."

So, Luo Chao immediately typed in the words "bulletproof helmet," again, the prices varied widely and the quality was inconsistent.

Armed with his first experience, Luo Chao was still prepared to buy the expensive one this time.

He clicked to sort the items by price.

"Huh? Among bulletproof helmets, the most expensive one is nearly nine thousand, while the second most expensive is only a little over two thousand?" Luo Chao discovered that the most expensive bulletproof helmet was nearly five times more expensive than the second one. What kind of helmet had such confidence to set such a high price?

The introduction said this helmet is military-used by the US Army, produced by the United States Crye Precision Company.

"Seems pretty good," Luo Chao was very tempted.

Because the most important part of the human body is the head, and the root of telekinetic abilities lies in this place. If the limbs and torso are injured, they might still be rescued.

But if the head is injured and the brain is impacted, even if you have endless strength left, the ensuing dizziness is deadly, almost directly leading to failure or even death.

If shot in the head, you're almost certainly dead, with only a one percent chance of becoming a vegetable.

That's also why boxing, compared to martial arts, is more favored by military forces worldwide.

No matter how strong your body is, if your head is attacked, defeat is inevitable!

Thus, Luo Chao ordered with a heavy heart.

Originally, with Luo Chao's wealth, buying things worth tens of thousands would've been no problem.

But regrettably, Luo Chao had already entrusted all his funds to Tang Tianyi to invest in technology, ending up broke!

Just as Luo Chao lamented how poor he had become, his gaze unintentionally fell on that pile of barbell plates in the corner...
