Chapter 303 Creating Magical Armor
Upon hearing Qin Nan's suggestive words, Detective Chen's expression changed visibly.
"Weapon prototypes are top secret within the department. Currently, no one knows about them except for magical girls of Blue rank or higher. They've all signed confidentiality agreements. Where did you hear that from?"
Qin Nan grinned upon hearing this. "Never mind that. We're all on the same side, so my information comes from legitimate sources. Besides, you've already set the prices, why are you still trying to hide it?"
Detective Chen fell silent, his eyes twitching.
If I remember correctly, the two people in front of me are indeed in a rather special situation. Although he is just a researcher, he still has some understanding of the magical girls in each district.
Qing has a very powerful background, the kind that's extremely powerful. On the surface, she's just a magical girl about to break through to the Green level, but in reality, she has Advisor Tan and the entire Flower Fairy Clan standing behind her.
Moreover, she was originally in charge of the magical girl in the Chang'an area, but was later intercepted by Deputy Director Chang and kept in the Northeast Division. From this point of view, the relationship between the two is also extraordinary.
With so many people behind him, it's not difficult for Qing to know the classified information about the weapon prototype.
As for Shiro, on the surface she doesn't seem to have a background as strong as Ao's, but she is hailed as the most talented magical girl of this generation, and her attribute is one of the two rarest elements, so her future prospects are limitless.
It's worth noting that the two rarest elements are white and Deputy Director Qiu Yun, which gives you an idea of just how high her future achievements will be.
Thinking of this, Detective Chen glanced at Qin Nan with a troubled expression and sighed. "It's because there aren't enough weapon prototypes. Since you know about this, you should understand that these things aren't something ordinary magical girls can access."
"I know, I know, it's a mirror core." Qin Nan waved his hand, as if he knew everything.
At this moment, Tang Cao, who was standing nearby, asked curiously, "Sister Nan, what are these weapon embryos you're talking about? And what are mirror cores?"
Before Qin Nan could speak, Detective Chen offered an explanation. "Weapon prototypes are materials we cultivate specifically for magical girls in costumes. Simply put, it involves using technology to forge mirror cores into prototypes, which are then shaped by the magical girl into magical armor to provide her with powerful combat capabilities."
"Yes, magical armor crafted from mirror cores can accelerate the flow of magical energy, making it more powerful than weapons we create ourselves using elemental energy," Qin Nan added. "As for mirror cores, they are crystalline substances obtained after eliminating the Greedy Ones, similar to dark crystals."
"The Greedy One..." Tangcao pondered the name for a moment.
For some reason, she felt that the name sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere when she was very, very young.
However, due to the passage of time, she couldn't recall it immediately.
"According to the information provided by the Flower Fairy Clan, the Greedy Ones perished a long time ago," Detective Chen said. "No one knows exactly what happened, but most people speculate that the Greedy Ones perished together with some secret realm, which is why the number of Mirror Cores is extremely rare."
"I know that most of the mirror cores the bureau has now were provided by the magical girls of Deputy Director Qiu's generation, right?" Qin Nan looked at Detective Chen.
Detective Chen nodded. "Yes, wearing a mirror core for a long time can make a person more beautiful. That's why many magical girls don't directly absorb the energy inside after killing a Greedy One, unlike they do with Dark Crystals. Instead, they treat it as a family heirloom. Fortunately, that's how the material was preserved."
"Weapon prototypes originate from mirror cores, and the Greedy Ones have perished. Doesn't that mean that every weapon prototype you have is one less to use?" Tang Cao asked.
"That's right, that's why this matter needs to be kept secret. The higher-ups are considering distributing weapon prototypes to high-ranking magical girls, which will also increase their combat power to some extent." Detective Chen shrugged.
"Stop with the nonsense." Qin Nan crossed his arms. "Just tell me, if I can produce a mirror core, can you get me a weapon prototype?"
When she said that, Detective Chen was stunned.
He looked Qin Nan up and down, then couldn't help but ask, "You...you have a mirror core?"
"What's with that look? Do I look that low?" Qin Nan snorted, then reached into his pocket and casually took out two transparent crystals about the size of bottle caps.
These two crystals are crystal clear, looking like glass of the purest purity, or like the legendary ice that never melts, giving people a pure sense of beauty.
The mirror core rested quietly in Qin Nan's palm, attracting everyone's attention as soon as it appeared.
Tang Cao curiously leaned closer; it was the first time she'd ever seen the legendary mirror core in person (just kidding). Detective Chen wasn't much better off.
His gaze was fixed on the mirror core and he couldn't look away.
"You, you mirror core..."
Detective Chen subconsciously raised his hand, seemingly wanting to pick it up and examine it closely, but he quickly stopped, as if he didn't want the microscope core to be contaminated by his ungloved hand.
"It's so beautiful. I've never seen a mirror core of this quality before. It's the same as the ones the bureau has before. Mirror cores of this quality should only be available to cadres."
"Wow, you know your stuff!" Qin Nan raised his chin.
After obtaining Tang Zijun's consent, Qin Nan immediately took Xiao Hui to the fish tank to choose a fish.
Originally, she wanted Chang Lei to run the errand for her, but now that they had already arrived at the Demon Bureau, she couldn't wait any longer and dragged Tang Cao over with her.
Since she was choosing weapon blanks for herself and Tang Cao, Qin Nan naturally couldn't just grab a couple to make up the numbers. In addition, there were quite a few cadre-level mirror cores in the fish tank, so she didn't hold back.
These two mirror cores were the ones Qin Nan found most pleasing to the eye. They were of moderate size and had relatively mild energy, making them excellent materials. In the game, they would at least be considered orange-grade materials.
"Take a look, can these two mirror cores be used to make weapon prototypes?"
"Of course!" Detective Chen blurted out without thinking, but soon he frowned.
Sixth.
Watching his expression, Qin Nan's face darkened slightly. "What do you mean? You wouldn't be thinking of keeping these two mirror cores for yourself, would you?"
"How could that be? I wouldn't dare even if you gave me ten lives!" Detective Chen waved his hands repeatedly upon hearing this, then said, "However,
The research value of a mirror core of this quality is certainly incomparable to that of ordinary mirror cores, and the weapon prototypes created from them will naturally be...
Too.:"
Detective Chen was clearly not someone who had come from the streets; he wasn't that smooth-talking, and his expression control wasn't very good either. In just a few words, he had already written "It's a waste to give such good weapon material to the two of you" on his face.
However, he quickly realized what was happening and shook his head slightly.
"Fine, since you submitted the mirror core, let's proceed with the process."
Perhaps, from the current perspective, forging these two mirror cores into weapon prototypes and handing them over to Deputy Director Qiu or the other three blue-level magical girls would be a better option.
However, in the long run, if two talented and capable magical girls start from scratch and gradually develop their own unique magical equipment, progressing and growing together, their future combat power will definitely be even stronger.
"Really? But you seem quite reluctant." Qin Nan gave him a warning look.
"My opinion is unimportant." Detective Chen smiled and shook his head, then said seriously, "Forging a weapon blank takes three to seven days, and a mirror core of your quality will take even longer."
"So how are you going to hand it over to us when you're done?" Qin Nan asked.
"We'll send you a text message from our phones, and you'll need to come to the Demon Surveillance Bureau in person to collect it," Agent Chen explained. "This is also for security reasons. After all, as you know, this thing is classified, and once forged, it has a powerful attraction to many evil creatures."
Objects like Dark Crystals and Mirror Cores, which condense powerful energy, not only affect humans and magical girls, but also greatly enhance evil creatures, as can be seen from the fact that the Outer Path Demons devour each other.
The mirror core, once forged, will have purer internal energy. Simply put, it's like a pistol; as long as there's a bullet, it will unleash tremendous destructive power.
As for this so-called "bullet," it can be either magic or negative energy, so it is naturally easy for it to attract the attention of heretics.
After leaving the mirror core with Agent Chen, Qin Nan and Tang Cao left the research floor and took the elevator back.
As the elevator slowly descended, Xiaobai couldn't help but use "telepathy" to ask, "Speaking of which, you just gave them this thing like that? Aren't you afraid they'll secretly switch it out for you?"
"Surely not?" Tang Cao's eyes widened. "Even though mirror cores are no longer available, they wouldn't pull such a stunt over two mirror cores, would they?"
"It's hard to say. Similar things have happened before. I've seen plenty of news about it." Little White licked its paws.
"Can't you look at some positive energy content?" Qin Nan glared at Xiao Bai. "There are so many beautiful things in the world, yet you don't pay attention to them, instead lamenting that life isn't worth living because of a few bad apples. That's completely unnecessary."
Little White stuck out its tongue and stopped talking.
Just then, Tang Cao and Qin Nan's phones suddenly rang at the same time, and then the Magical Girl app interface popped up.
The two of them simultaneously took out their phones and looked at them, only to see a red text message prominently displayed on the screen.
