It took them a while to put on the stealth gear for the first time. These suits are wetsuits in every sense of the word—the form-fitting, sealed fabric is barely breathable. Although it is only a thin layer, it does feel a little hot to wear in this weather.
Although the Roman side is a one-size-fits-all, both sides can be considered "grown-up", with similar heights and body shapes for the same age group. Generally speaking, the entire wetsuit fits well.
The fabric of the wetsuit covered the body from the neck down, leaving only the hands and feet exposed. The color of the fabric is dark blue, which is almost black. This color is closer to the night itself than pure black.
Shangluo was the last to get dressed. After his legs were wrapped in elastic fabric, he suddenly noticed that there were pipeline-like structures distributed on the sides of his legs. It's not very visible from the outside, but you can feel it from the inside.
"Do you feel like there are pipes running on this clothes?"
"It seems to be a structure similar to water pipes." Wen Yuan held his arms and swung his upper arms around his shoulder joints. "These pipes are not only on the legs, but also on the arms. They seem to be on the back as well. But they won't hinder movement, so it's not a big problem. It’s just a little hot. What else do you have to wear?”
Shangluo took the coat from the clothes rack and handed it over - not only the diving suit, this set of sneaking equipment also included a coat-like coat. Compared with the close-fitting clothes, this coat has many scattered pockets, straps, zippers, and magnets. Some zippers are used to open and close pockets, and some zippers are used to secure the corners of clothes and provide close-fitting tension.
This set has more than a dozen pockets alone. In addition to the pockets on the chest, waist ribs, and lining, there are also hidden pockets in the sleeves for storing small items. The hidden pocket is fastened with a lock. When the button is loosened, you only need to release the tension on the wrist - that is, shake your hand, or use the movement of the forearm muscles, so that the contents of the pocket can pop out and fall into the palm of your hand.
The largest pocket is at the heart of the left chest. The pocket is open on the side and placed in a position that is not easy to access. The cavity inside is also very thin.
"This one on the chest seems to be equipped with a bulletproof insert." Wen Yuan said while inspecting the clothes. "In addition, this suit actually has built-in suspenders. It seems that it can be folded up and tied around the waist when not worn. , or hang on the shoulder. Are there any parts left?”
Shangluo looked at the hanger: "There are also two attached bags. It seems that it can be hung in many places on the body. It can be hung on the waist, shoulders, or sides of the legs."
"Why are there so many bits and pieces in this suit?"
"Maybe the Romans did need so many bits and pieces. The ceremony was very complicated, and multiple pockets would have more capacity. After all, this is not a backpack for games."
"I'm going to correct you." Han Xingzhi reminded, "The backpack system of "Heroes Parade" is quite strict. Everyone will have a backpack card, and the items obtained need to be placed in the backpack card according to their shape and size. If you put a token on it, it won’t fit even if it’s the wrong size.”
"That is really a realistic setting. However, can we guess the current situation of the Romans based on the game settings? For example, is there an infinite backpack prop in the game? For example, a ring that can store unlimited items."
"Yes, but the size is limited. It's a small pocket, etc., and it seems to be very similar to the shape of this attached bag. After getting the storage bag, as long as the width is "1 grid", it can be stuffed into it no matter how long it is. Go. Of course, the weight is still on you after stuffing it in, but it just saves you the time of constantly calculating the capacity of the backpack. You can carry a lot of very light and small things at one time."
"What are they usually used for in games?"
"It is generally used for arrows, spear throwing, potions, gold coins, and important mission props. As for the main weapon, the spear can be stuffed inside, but if it is too heavy, it may make you unbalanced."
"Easy to get?"
"The starting point is not that easy to get. You need to buy the Jack and London expansion pack to enter the London story line in the British Isles, and then go through a side quest called Mary Poppins Returns from Mary Poppins. Aunt Si got this handbag that can store unlimited small items. The task itself is not difficult, but this expansion pack is too far away from the main story and is still scattered. It is difficult not to make people doubt that this is for Rome. A bundled story pack developed to increase sales. If you want to get that unlimited storage tote bag, you must buy this expansion pack.”
"Is this how the handbag came about?!" Wen Yuan just found out, "No wonder when we played last time, I saw them take grenades out of their pockets one by one, and took out more than fifty. I I’m still wondering how such a big backpack can hold so much.”
"Can you also play?" Shangluo asked him.
"I basically play it occasionally. "Heroes Parade" is very popular. I can get together to play on weekends when I have nothing to do. However, I haven't played it since I started my internship at Jinyiwei. I took the time to play it a few days ago. Within half an hour, I saw them taking out things like magic. This is almost a long-delayed release, and they seem to be doing more and more recently. When was this package released?"
"I asked, it seems to be less than three years." Han Xingzhi replied, "It's just over a year here. Many people unlocked the London plot just because of this prop. But by the way, the legend of Jack the Ripper also It has spread, after all, the name of the entire expansion pack is "Jack and London". Hmm? Now that I think about it, could it be related to Jack the Ripper? Are you guys handling this case?"
Wen Yuan nodded: "Actually, the main purpose of these Roman guards coming here is to handle the Jack the Ripper case, which seems to be in Yujing now. I guess they released this board game and put the 'Infinite Tote Bag' 'Using it as bait, I'm afraid I want to collect more data on the Ripper so that I can help them analyze the best way to deal with the Ripper."
"Does it have anything to do with us?"
"It doesn't matter, that's their business. We came mainly because of another thing: Shangluo happened to catch them holding a branch-breaking ceremony and became the only one in this group to arrive at the trial site. The 'extras' on the scene asked him The 'old sticks' were distributed, and now he was the only one who could help Rome deal with the fire."
"Yeah" Shangluo also agreed - this is fire. Titus' introduction is very apt, the Romans were using fire.
Of course humans use fire. The control of fire has taken human civilization to a new level.
However, fire is a terrible thing anyway. It can burn down an entire mountain or even farther away if not careful. Today, of course, humans are no longer afraid of the flames coming out of gas stoves. Humans have completely tamed fire. But as a new flame, "light" has not yet been tamed. It cannot emerge like a gas stove by just pressing a button.
