The Wind Spirit Hoverboard is a high-precision magitech device.
After crafting it through the system, Bai Qiu couldn’t wait to examine it and analyze its structure.
The hoverboard was a light green overall, with rounded ends and a thickness of about five centimeters.
Intricate magic circuits ran across its surface, making it look more like an enlarged surfboard.
On each side, there were five slots, which required purified wind-element ores—Wind Crystals—to be inserted as batteries.
The method for producing Wind Crystals was also included in the system.
Each time, one unit of raw ore with at least 30% purity could be refined into three Wind Crystals specifically for the hoverboard.
That said, although this was only a C-grade item and Bai Qiu could technically replicate it, the complexity of the process gave him quite a headache.
Fortunately, crafting through the system using blueprints guaranteed a 100% success rate.
However, each attempt required a processing fee.
For example, making one Wind Spirit Hoverboard cost 100,000 Sanctum Coins.
As for refining Wind Crystals to be used as batteries, each operation only required 1,000 Sanctum Coins, with no limit on quantity.
In other words, whether refining three, three hundred, or even three thousand Wind Crystals in one go, the cost remained 1,000 coins.
If Bai Qiu could replicate the entire process and produce them himself, he could save a significant amount of money.
However, he felt that this saving was unlikely—reproducing the process would take at least three hours.
If he spent those three hours making mental power potions instead, his output would far exceed 100,000 Sanctum Coins.
Still, for a new product, Bai Qiu naturally wanted to test it personally.
He inserted ten Wind Crystals into the ten slots of the hoverboard.
The crystals fit perfectly into place, without the slightest gap.
After closing the battery cover, Bai Qiu stepped onto the board.
Sensing the pressure of his weight, the Wind Spirit Hoverboard immediately activated.
Green patterns lit up beneath his feet, and an interface panel for the hoverboard appeared before his eyes.
The panel was very simple, divided into two modes and four speed tiers.
There was a basic command mode, and a more complex but higher-ceiling mental control mode.
The four tiers were labeled F, E, D, and C, likely representing different levels of speed.
Bai Qiu first tested it using the simple command mode, selecting Tier F.
Following his command, the hoverboard rose one meter into the air and began moving forward slowly.
When he tried increasing to its maximum speed, he found that Tier F capped at one meter per second.
So he switched to Tier E, where the top speed reached eight meters per second.
He then began controlling the hoverboard’s movement in all directions—left, right, up, and down—using commands.
Command control was simple, but it felt somewhat stiff.
As Bai Qiu increased the speed tier, he also switched from command mode to mental control mode.
With a single thought, the Wind Spirit Hoverboard moved like a fish in water, darting around with incredible agility.
Empowered by his own mental strength, aside from some initial difficulty in controlling the range of motion, the precision of the controls soon completely surpassed that of command mode.
The D-tier had a top speed of 20 meters per second—about 72 km/h—roughly comparable to an electric scooter.
Finally, it was time for C-tier.
Bai Qiu switched to C-tier and began accelerating, noticing that the hoverboard’s appearance had changed.
First, it became noticeably brighter—an obvious sign that the equipment was operating at higher power.
Moreover, the jump in performance at C-tier was massive.
According to Bai Qiu’s perception, its maximum speed could reach around 430 km/h, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just two seconds!
At 120 meters per second, that was incredibly fast.
For comparison, the CR450 high-speed train, one of the fastest maglev trains in the world, only reached a test speed of about 453 km/h, with an operational speed stabilized at 400 km/h.
Of course, no matter how fast the C-grade Wind Spirit Hoverboard was, it still couldn’t match Bai Qiu’s own running speed.
However, when it came to endurance, he was far inferior.
With wind manipulation, the passive stacking of the Skyward Armor, and magical enhancement of his body, he could even break the sound barrier for a short time while sprinting at full speed.
But that didn’t mean his sustained speed reached 1,225 km/h.
In that state, lasting two minutes without collapsing was already a testament to his physical strength.
As a means of transportation, the Wind Spirit Hoverboard obviously couldn’t just break down after a few minutes, so Bai Qiu decided to personally test its performance.
After all, if someone else tested it and it malfunctioned, they might end up falling to their death…
The people in Zone 2233 looked up in astonishment at Bai Qiu freely hovering in the air.
His ability to fly was already well known.
But flying around on a board like a headless fly was something they were seeing for the first time.
Looking at the scattered crowd below staring up at him, Bai Qiu smiled.
Fame really had its perks—this would probably save him advertising costs, since others would spread the word for him.
Standing on the Wind Spirit Hoverboard, there was no need to worry about falling or slipping off.
Once activated, it automatically adhered to the user’s feet.
Even when Bai Qiu flipped upside down and spun in circles, he wasn’t thrown off, showing just how strong the adhesion was.
That said, this kind of item wasn’t recommended for people who liked wearing flip-flops.
Otherwise, the flip-flops might stick to the board… and the person might go flying.
After flying at full speed for ten minutes and seeing that the hoverboard remained stable with no signs of overload, Bai Qiu decided to test its carrying capacity.
He had never measured his own weight, but conservatively estimated it to be over 80 kilograms, since he had always maintained a fitness routine.
The full set of Skyward Armor weighed around 150 kilograms, meaning that just standing on the hoverboard already put the load at nearly 250 kilograms.
He then took out the Dragon-Slaying Star Breath Spear and the Purgatory Darkflame Spear, bringing the total load to over 500 kilograms.
Yet despite being such a small board, the Wind Spirit Hoverboard held steady under more than half a ton of weight without sinking at all!
Bai Qiu held two long spears in one hand, gripping them between his fingers, while his other hand continuously took out refined Star Iron blocks from his storage card.
As he increased the weight to over 1,500 kilograms, the Wind Spirit Hoverboard finally couldn’t hold up any longer and began to slowly descend.
A hint of joy appeared on Bai Qiu’s face.
After putting everything away— He rode the Wind Spirit Hoverboard back to the small villa, flew straight onto the balcony, and sat down at the table and chairs used for afternoon tea.
Taking out pen and paper, he began recording its performance parameters…
