Chapter 138 - Chapter 137: The Power of Rules, Seems Pretty Good

Without much thought.

Luca decisively picked up the 1:1 replica on the far left first.

No other reason, Luca had the most confidence in this item.

Who knew that as soon as he picked up the shoes from the ground, Luca immediately knew.

No need to test!

"Damn it! How could I forget about this!"

The reason for his shock was that as soon as Luca held the shoes in his hand, the thought of wearing them on his feet arose in his mind.

He then saw that this pair of Power Enhancing Shoes, identical to the original, actually underwent an extremely subtle tremor.

Although the change was not obvious to the naked eye, Luca knew clearly that the shape of the shoes had automatically made subtle adjustments, making them fit Luca's own foot shape more closely.

That's right!

Because he had long been accustomed to wearing Power Enhancing Shoes, even Luca himself had forgotten.

The shoes that were synthesized back then were much smaller than his own feet; it was precisely due to the influence of the Power of Rules that the shoes changed, allowing Luca to wear them perfectly.

Although this 1:1 replica pair of shoes was originally crafted according to the current size of the Power Enhancing Shoes during the manufacturing process.

But how could handmade manufacturing be more form-fitting than the optimization by the Power of Rules?

This was why an extremely subtle change occurred the moment Luca was about to put on the shoes.

'Does this still need to be tested?'

Although he thought that in his head, Luca still quickly slipped the shoes onto his feet.

And sure enough.

One hundred shots, no foot injury, immense power, no harm to people!

Luca himself could attest to the first half of the sentence, and Hammer Stone, who had been suffering from severe insomnia recently and came for help, could attest to the second half.

Successfully creating such 'Rule Artifacts' immediately gave Luca more anticipation for the latter two pairs of shoes.

However...

"Crack~"

"Hiss~~~ Ah~ Ow, ow, ow!"

Luca, who had originally aimed for the circle on the wall but instead kicked awry, directly causing a section of the nearby railing to dent inwards.

He was now on the ground, clutching his calf, groaning in pain.

"Young Master, are you alright?!"

Samira and Shield Mountain, who were originally there to watch the commotion, immediately gathered around him with concerned expressions.

"Don't, don't touch, White, quickly help me check!"

At this moment, White had already arrived in front of Luca with small, quick steps, and upon hearing the command, immediately began scanning.

"Scan results: minor toe fracture, dislocated ankle."

"Luca, do you need me to help you reset your dislocated ankle?" (●—●)

"Hiss~ re-re-re... Oh my ~ ow ~"

With a crisp'snap', Luca's small arms and legs were easily reset by White's large hands.

However, from his grimacing expression, it was impossible to tell that he had previously been able to endure muscle strains to rescue people between buildings.

Even Shirley, who was holding a chestnut-colored Harro and watching the show nearby, shook her head speechlessly at this moment.

Fortunately, as White completed the bone setting, Luca continued to activate the healing power of Sweet Captivity, and a cool sensation immediately dispelled the pain in his ankle.

Luca, who was already covered in a cold sweat, finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"Young Master, next time you have this kind of test, don't do it yourself. Green Bull is thick-skinned, you can just let him do it."

Hearing Samira's words, Green Bull, who had just disrupted Hammer Stone's sleep, immediately turned his head back, dumbfounded.

"Uh, right..."

Seeing their expressions, Luca shook his head with a slight smile.

It was fortunate that when Luca got his hands on the second pair of shoes, he noticed that they hadn't deformed.

So during the test, he only activated 'Gear 1' for leg strength enhancement.

The result was that it was indeed enhanced.

But all the accompanying powers of rules, such as hitting the target every time and protecting the ankles, were completely absent.

'Good thing I didn't go straight for Gear 3, otherwise my whole foot would probably have flown off by now... No, that's not right, it might have just been completely burnt to a crisp.'

Thinking of this, Luca looked at the 'Monkey-version Muscle Enhancing Shoes' next to him and looked at Green Bull with some hesitation.

"Green Bull, how about you try this last one?"

Upon hearing this, Green Bull's face, not just the green mohawk on his head, turned green.

However, after considering the choice between his own injury and Luca's injury, he ultimately steeled himself and walked over.

"Young Master, I'll do it!"

"Hey, don't look like you're going to your death. You've worn the Tuxedo before, haven't you? The electricity in this is even less than that. Just be careful when you kick later, and I guarantee you'll be fine~"

Green Bull seemed to be relieved upon hearing this, and obediently picked up the 'Monkey-version Muscle Enhancing Shoes' and sat down to put them on.

'What a pity, it seems only the items I personally craft that are identical to the original can come with the Power of Rules.'

'However, knowledge is the core, and I've already gained so much, so I shouldn't be too greedy~'

In fact, at this point, Luca already knew that this last pair of shoes probably wouldn't have any Power of Rules.

But since the last pair of shoes had already been made, testing their effectiveness might lead to the development of derivative products later on.

This item's design concept was different from the Power Enhancing Shoes; rather than a pair of athletic shoes, it was more like foot-mounted external armor with the appearance of athletic shoes.

This was mainly because Luca discovered during the manufacturing process that after fully learning Dr. Agasa's knowledge, he was capable of replicating the electric stimulation muscle module of the Tuxedo.

However, he could not, by any means, achieve the kind of countless highly precise flexible electric stimulation modules found in the Tuxedo, which could also be bulletproof and impact-resistant.

Such precise components could be completely damaged with just a few touches, and then the remaining electrical nodes would randomly stimulate muscles, which might lead to twitching instead of enhancement.

Luca estimated that the second pair of shoes earlier would also be in a similar situation, becoming unusable after only a few uses.

Well, that's assuming it could even be used in the first place.

In desperation, Luca could only change the original shoes to an armor-like mode.

However, this made it much more convenient for Green Bull to wear.

"Come on, let's try gear one first~"

Hearing Luca say this, Green Bull immediately pressed the remote control in his hand.

Immediately after, he felt a faint current flow through his feet and even his calves.

"Young Master, it seems like it really works?"

Saying that, Green Bull grinned, suddenly squatted down, and then leaped into the air.

The next moment, everyone was surprised to find that Green Bull's jump reached a height of nearly two meters.

One must know that Green Bull, with all his muscles, had never received any professional high jump training. In the past, jumping over 60 centimeters would already mean his adrenaline was working hard.

Looking at Green Bull, who was excitedly bouncing around like a Harro, a smile also unconsciously appeared at the corner of Luca's mouth.

"Seems pretty good too~"
