A few beast tamers in the crowd stepped forward, their eyes filled with excitement.
"A total of thirteen thousand five hundred and twenty-one people..."
Xing Ling's mind moved, and he quickly counted the number of people who had stepped out.
"So many?!"
A Liang was slightly surprised, not having anticipated this.
Beast tamers of Silver rank and above, meaning all Gold and King rank powerhouses, and with no contract spirits lost in battle, implied that the vast majority were newly breakthrough young individuals. After all, during the great battle with the ferocious beasts, veteran powerhouses had mostly suffered casualties and wouldn't meet the criteria.
"Little Xing, is it enough?"
At this moment, A Liang glanced at Little Xing beside him and asked in a low voice.
"It's enough."
Little Xing nodded, excitement flashing in the depths of his eyes.
Seeing this, A Liang was also delighted and said,
"Please follow me, everyone else is dismissed!"
As soon as the words fell,
The rest of the people left quietly without any discussion. They believed there would be a day when they were needed!
Soon, over ten thousand beast tamers who had stepped forward followed Little Xing into the depths of the ruins.
A Liang looked at the crowd of over ten thousand people and said,
"I've gathered everyone here today to announce some good news."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's interest was instantly piqued. They hadn't heard any good news for a long time...
"Starting today, you can officially leave the ruins and venture into the outside world!!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned, and then filled with extreme excitement. Some couldn't help but cheer. They hadn't been outside for too long... While the Starry Sky Ruins were safe, to them, it was also a cage...
"You don't need to worry about safety!"
A Liang's lips curved upwards as he slowly said, "We have prepared special equipment for you!"
"Now, please welcome the honorary president of the Nanjang Mental Hospital, Xu Xingxing, to speak!"
"..."
The crowd didn't applaud but looked at him with extremely strange expressions. What kind of title was that...
"Cough cough..."
Little Xing coughed lightly and said,
"Everyone, after ten years of research, the straitjacket project has finally achieved a breakthrough!"
"Ah?"
Everyone became even more confused. What project?!
Seeing their perplexed expressions, Little Xing got straight to the point and unfolded the straitjacket in his hands... It was still the familiar blue and white color scheme, still made of soft material, still had that familiar feel...
"..."
Everyone instantly remembered. After all, it was the straitjacket that was once popular nationwide... However, due to the special circumstances of the current era, the straitjacket had no sales and gradually fell into obscurity... But they never expected it to reappear today?!
"This is a brand new straitjacket..."
Little Xing said with a proud expression, "I've named it the Straitjacket Ultimate Plus Edition..."
"..."
Everyone fell silent, unable to resist their inner complaints... However, Little Xing's next words made them completely ecstatic!
"The straitjacket has two simple and brutal functions!"
Little Xing coughed lightly and said,
"First, as long as you inject beast taming power into it, your contract spirits will gain one percent of my Thunderbird's speed!!"
"What does this mean? It's like you can dance in front of King rank peak beings!"
"!!"
Everyone's expressions suddenly trembled, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief. Although Little Xing's analogy was a bit absurd, it was concise and to the point, and everyone understood it immediately!
"And as long as you don't use the highest power setting, the energy consumption isn't too great..."
Seeing their expressions, Little Xing couldn't help but show a proud expression and said,
"Also, it's not a disposable item. You can charge it with lightning-attribute materials. Other attribute resources are also fine, but they will require a larger quantity."
"Dean!"
At this moment, a young man below raised his hand and asked,
"Can it really protect us from King rank peak powerhouses?"
Little Xing didn't waste words and directly threw the straitjacket in his hand, saying,
"Try it!"
The man instantly caught it and, in front of everyone, put on the new straitjacket, his demeanor instantly changing. For a moment, people watched with anticipation, looking over expectantly. The man didn't hesitate and immediately summoned his four Gold contract spirits. Following Little Xing's instructions, he successfully injected his beast taming power. The straitjacket lit up as if it had received electricity, becoming radiant with lightning...
At the same time, one of his contract spirits was instantly enveloped by lightning. Its internal power automatically transformed into the lightning attribute and began to circulate in a specific trajectory. This trajectory was the exact path the Thunderbird took when fleeing, Great Wind Novel Network. This was also the core of the straitjacket!
In an instant, the contract spirit covered in lightning transformed into a bolt of lightning, flying at extreme speed above everyone's heads... Its speed was so fast that even King rank beast tamers couldn't catch up...
"It's actually true..."
Below, everyone's expressions were filled with shock, and they couldn't help but tremble. Giving contract spirits speed that surpassed King rank peak was truly a treasure! And such a treasure was actually mass-produced!
Little Xing smiled and explained,
"There are drawbacks, though. Absolutely do not let your contract spirit use any skills, otherwise it will disrupt the energy circulation within the body, causing the straitjacket to malfunction."
As expected, the man's mind moved, and the lightning on his contract spirit instantly dimmed. However, the crowd didn't seem to care at all. What they needed was the life-saving effect! As for combat, its usefulness was limited. Even if it could attack, their damage wouldn't be enough to realistically kill a King rank peak creature.
Little Xing continued to explain,
"Additionally, if you increase the power output, you can make all your contract spirits possess this speed."
Upon hearing this, the man's thoughts moved, and he instantly activated the straitjacket's maximum setting! His four contract spirits were all enveloped by lightning, and their speed surged to an extreme!
"This is truly perverse..."
Everyone expressed their admiration. This was the straitjacket of their dreams... After a while, the man turned off the straitjacket's function and recalled his contract spirits, as it was just for demonstration purposes and didn't need to consume too much energy.
"Dean."
At this moment, the man spoke again, "What was the other function you mentioned?" His eyes were already filled with admiration. This was a great invention that would change the course of history!
"Stealth!"
Little Xing coughed lightly and said,
"As long as you wear the straitjacket, it can automatically conceal the aura of your contract spirits, preventing them from being detected. However, this effect is not very useful against high-level creatures."
"The only advantage is that it consumes almost no energy, so this function can be kept on all the time."
Currently, even among the ferocious beast tribes, their strength still followed a pyramidal distribution. The base of ferocious beasts was terrifying, naturally meaning the number of King rank ferocious beasts was enormous, but compared to low-level ferocious beasts, they were still very rare. As long as people could evade the detection of ordinary ferocious beasts, their survival ability would skyrocket. This was a function specifically added to the straitjacket considering the current situation.
In an instant, everyone understood. Their gazes were fixed on the straitjacket on the man, wishing they could rip it off on the spot... This was not a straitjacket at all, but their reborn parents!
