Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! novel Chapter 189

"Metal Spike!"

"Fireball!"

"Soil Thorn!"

Feng Ran, Bingwen, and Yu Baoyin all aimed at the prototype armguards, made from the exoskeleton of a Tier 2 soldier ant's arm.

Their attacks struck the gear.

The fireball left a slight burn mark, while the metal spikes and soil thorns created only small scratches before being deflected.

The core structure was made of interlocking chitin plates, their surfaces shimmering slightly under the light, shifting between deep onyx and dark crimson hues. The outer shell bore natural ridges and spiky protrusions, similar to the soldier ant's carapace.

Inside, the arm guards were lined with softened wolf hide, offering both comfort and added protection. Adjustable straps made from wolf tendons secured the arm guards in place.

It was a fine two-star item.

"Good job." Nanzhi's eyes lit up in pleasant surprise. She hadn't expected Yu Baoyin to craft such impressive gear.

Yu Baoyin scratched her head, cheeks flushed. She hugged Nanzhi's waist and rubbed her face against her chest. Pouting, she said, "Sadly, the tendons aren't strong enough to hold Tier 3 materials. Otherwise, I could make more powerful gear!"

Nanzhi patted her head. "I'll find some suitable materials for you to try. But... are you okay now?"

Yu Baoyin looked up and nodded. She appreciated Nanzhi's care. At first, Nanzhi had given her gloves and patiently guided her hands for long hours to make her comfortable around the materials. That had greatly eased her trauma. Although she couldn't work without gloves yet, it was much better than before.

At least she didn't freeze at the sight of pelts anymore!

"Sister Nan, if only I were a guy! What a shame!" Yu Baoyin sighed, her voice tinged with frustration.

Lin Weihao overheard: It's a girl. It's a girl. Hold it together. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

Feng Ran glanced at the arm guards, rubbed his chin thoughtfully, then tried them on. "This world is starting to feel more like the games I used to play!" He adjusted the guards, inspecting them. "This would be great, if not for the girlish pink sticker in the middle. Tsk."

"Even monster parts can be made into gear!" He crossed his arms behind his head, sighing with a mix of awe and dismay.

Nanzhi, intrigued, turned to him. "What kind of games did you play before?"

Feng Ran's eyes sparkled. "Oh, Sister-in-law, you're into games too? Do you play Swordsman Online, Moonlight Blade, Westward Journey Online, or Shenwu 4?"

Nanzhi's interest evaporated instantly. "No. I only play offline mobile games."

Offline mobile games? Feng Ran thought to himself, Sounds boring and lame.

Just as he was about to voice his thoughts, he noticed the dungeon boss lurking behind Nanzhi. With a gulp, he swiftly turned his attention back to Yu Baoyin. "Hey, craftsman boonie girl, can you make a mage robe too?"

Yu Baoyin's temples throbbed with irritation. She lifted her head from Nanzhi's chest and shot back at Feng Ran, "Hey! Who are you calling 'craftsman boonie girl'? I have a name!"

Feng Ran grinned, reminded of the drawings from earlier that morning. "Why shouldn't I call you 'craftsman boonie girl'? You keep stamping all the clothes with those ugly stickers!"

"Those stickers are not ugly!" Yu Baoyin lunged at Feng Ran.

"Hey! Get off me!" Feng Ran yelped, laughing and squirming.

Bingwen chuckled softly, clearly entertained by the bickering.
