When 'God' Decides To Start Over

Chapter 592 - 248: Battle for Resources_3

Wan Chaocun is even further beyond consideration; even if she would lower herself to participate in the tournament, she would definitely go to help Wan Chaoxin’s Quest Seeking Group.

Thinking it over, aside from the existing members of the Technician Group, there really isn’t anyone suitable.

Li Xiu thought Jiuxiao Yun’s proposal was good, but unfortunately Jiuxiao Yun is only a Super Spirit, and Li Xiu somewhat looked down on him; being a Super Spirit doesn’t guarantee victory, especially since he’s asking for so much.

Sadly, Li Xiu has no choice now; besides Jiuxiao Yun who came to him voluntarily, he can’t find anyone else.

"As for resources, the Technician Group doesn’t have enough; there’s no way I can allocate them to you. How about changing the terms?" Li Xiu smiled as he looked at Jiuxiao Yun.

"Besides those resources, Commander Li, what else can you offer me in exchange?" Jiuxiao Yun asked skeptically.

"How about this: you help me participate in the tournament; once it’s done, I’ll officially let you join the Technician Group." Li Xiu proposed.

Jiuxiao Yun looked at Li Xiu as if he was staring at a fool; after a moment, he sneered and said, "Commander Li, are you still asleep? Don’t mind me for being blunt, but if it weren’t to help your Technician Group in the tournament, not even ghosts would want to join your Technician Group."

"I am a dignified Super Spirit Tester; no matter which group I wish to join, other commanders would roll out the red carpet for me. Do I need to go to your Technician Group? Aside from Jing Li, your group is full of Magic Armor Masters and researchers, which don’t benefit me at all. If you were to pay me to join, I’d still have to consider it. You actually want to use joining the Technician Group as a condition; who’s crazy, is it you or me?"

Li Xiu laughed and said, "Don’t be so quick to refuse; listen to my analysis."

"Alright, go ahead; I’m curious about what kind of trick you can come up with." Jiuxiao Yun wore an expression as though he was a scam center employee facing a fraudster.

"You haven’t advanced to the Light Base level, have you?" Li Xiu asked.

"No, but my situation is different from Jing Li; he doesn’t have the opportunity because he’s suppressed by the four families. I can advance to Light Base anytime if I wish; I just don’t want to at the moment." Jiuxiao Yun replied.

"Why don’t you want to?" Li Xiu asked.

"I want to raise my Super Spirit limit to 100%. The higher the Super Spirit limit, the stronger I’ll be after advancing to Light Base. Talents like me, of course, pursue perfection." Jiuxiao Yun said proudly.

"Isn’t the Super Spirit limit of the Symbiotic Contract fixed?" Li Xiu asked, puzzled.

"Fixed is correct, but there are some things that can forcibly enhance the Super Spirit limit of the Symbiotic Contract. I heard you helped Li Qingyi advance to Light Base before; didn’t she tell you that her Unbreakable Cold Ice Shield definitely used those kinds of things, making her Super Spirit limit 100%."

Jiuxiao Yun paused and continued, "Those things are just too rare. I used one before, enhancing it from 94% to 98%. To reach 100%, I need the opportunity to find another one; maybe one isn’t enough, and I’d need a second."

"So in the long term, you won’t be advancing to Light Base, right?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.

"Correct; you don’t think you have the means to enhance the Super Spirit limit of the Symbiotic Contract, do you? If you did, I’d immediately help you with the tournament and try my utmost to secure victories for you." Jiuxiao Yun didn’t believe Li Xiu truly had such things.

"Of course, I don’t have such things." Li Xiu shook his head.

"Then what’s the point? Right now, you have two options: act as if I never came by, or give me half the resources. Fine, I’ll compromise; with the additional resources, we split 40-60, you take 60%. How about that?" Jiuxiao Yun offered.

"I’ve said it, I can’t split the resources." Li Xiu shook his head once more.

"Then act as if I never came." Jiuxiao Yun said and turned to leave.

"What if I told you I could let you condense the Light Vein without advancing to Light Base; would you be willing to join the Technician Group for the tournament?" Li Xiu asked as he looked at Jiuxiao Yun’s retreating figure.

Jiuxiao Yun listened to Li Xiu’s words and scoffed, "You’re kidding, right? How can you condense the Light Vein without advancing to Light Base? Not to mention that such things can’t exist; even if they did, would a Magic Armor Master and low-level Trial Taker like you be able to acquire them?"

"I’m just asking if you want it." Li Xiu didn’t argue with Jiuxiao Yun and responded nonchalantly.

Seeing Li Xiu’s expression not resembling a joke, Jiuxiao Yun couldn’t help but ask even though he thought it impossible, "You really have such things?"

"I’ve researched a method to allow you to condense the Light Vein without advancing to Light Base. If you’re interested, join my Technician Group for the tournament, and I’ll help you condense the Light Vein." Li Xiu stated.

"Do you think I look like a fool?" Jiuxiao Yun, upon hearing Li Xiu’s words, was convinced Li Xiu was deceiving him.

A C-level Trial Taker claiming to have developed a method to condense the Light Vein without advancing to Light Base sounded absurd.

"You don’t look like one." Li Xiu remarked, looking Jiuxiao Yun over.

"That’s right; since I’m not a fool, do you think I’d believe your bullshit that not even a dog would fall for?" Jiuxiao Yun swung into the saddle of the Demon Shark, sneering, "Save your nonsense to fool your kid; I’m not sticking around."

With that said, Jiuxiao Yun rode off on the Demon Shark, unwilling to accompany Li Xiu in his nonsense any longer.

Li Xiu didn’t call out to stop him; he knew that Jiuxiao Yun wouldn’t believe anything he said now. Like someone who won’t take action until they see tangible benefits, Jiuxiao Yun would need to see actual advantages first.

Once Jing Li returns, it won’t be difficult to bring Jiuxiao Yun over. Li Xiu had already counted Jiuxiao Yun in his resource-grabbing squad.

"With Jiuxiao Yun and Jing Li, I still need another candidate. It seems I’ll have to find someone among the Magic Armor Masters." Li Xiu pondered, temporarily abandoning the idea of seeking out that golden bird, deciding to research first whether any suitable candidate exists among the Magic Armor Masters, and if not, he’d cultivate one himself.
