When 'God' Decides To Start Over

Chapter 651 - 268: Lightspeed No. 3_2

"And this Light-Speed Spear, we’ve incorporated materials decomposed from the vase, so its strength has significantly improved. I’ve also modified it to have a detachable energy core, allowing for easy changes of the energy source at any time," the old official laughed. "In terms of sheer strength, this set of Demon Armor is the strongest at present. Not only here, but even in Changsheng Heaven, there shouldn’t be any materials able to produce Demon Armor stronger than this."

Li Xiu tried a line activation and found that the Demon Armor easily withstood the high-power transmission of Demonic Light, unaffected whatsoever.

Additionally, with the Light Armor Style design, the distance the Demon Armor itself needed to transmit the Demonic Light was shorter, reducing loss and heat.

"Not bad, really not bad," Li Xiu praised endlessly and suddenly suggested, "Why don’t you come up with a name, old official?"

"No need, it’s just a regular set of Demon Armor, no point in naming it. We might as well keep using the previous name, just call it Light-Speed No. 3," the old official responded indifferently, though there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

"I remember you once said that this name is a bit inauspicious, should we consider changing it?" Li Xiu pondered.

"Change it to what? Young people shouldn’t indulge in superstitious nonsense. It’s just a name, how could it affect anything? Those Demon Armors break quickly because they have flaws, not because of the name. You can use this set of Demon Armor confidently, and calling it Light-Speed No. 3 or even Super Light-Speed No. 3 won’t make a difference," the old official replied, giving Li Xiu a look that suggested he knew nothing.

"Alright, with your assurance, I feel at ease." Li Xiu tucked away the Light-Speed No. 3 and the Light-Speed Spear, though a minor issue was that these two couldn’t be combined and essentially functioned as two separate Demon Armors.

"You should arrange the lab here first. Even after we head to Changsheng Heaven, the research here mustn’t stop," Li Xiu said, looking through a one-way glass at the researchers conducting experiments in other rooms.

"Don’t worry, everything is set up. Everyone has their research projects and might not produce results even in a year or two, so they’ll be kept busy," the old official laughed.

"Okay, I’ll sort things out here, and then we’ll head to Changsheng Heaven." Li Xiu left the laboratory with the Light-Speed No. 3.

Afei’s injuries were no longer a serious issue; a couple of days of rest should suffice. She had already planted the Light Seed, making her physique much stronger than ordinary humans, and with the healing from the Undying Bullet, she’d soon recover.

Li Xiu didn’t intend to go to Changsheng Heaven immediately; he planned to take this chance to visit Black Death City first.

He’d learned a great deal of Demon Text at the Demon Text Institute, gaining a deeper understanding of it.

It’s about time he utilized the wine in the Nether House.

Though Li Xiu couldn’t drink wine anymore, others could drink on his behalf. If he found people to enter with him and mixed drinks for them, and they allowed him to partake, he could drink to his heart’s content.

The reason Li Xiu hadn’t yet taken anyone to drink was because he was contemplating how to incorporate the wine into his system.

The wine contained powerful energy, capable of assisting the enhancement of magic spirits, and increasing the Super Spirit Limit. This was greatly advantageous to Li Xiu.

Finding two Super Spirit Sapphires was extremely difficult, and even if found, the quality might not be great. Li Xiu had already set his sights on the wine, intending to use the wine in the Nether House to enhance his Symbiotic Contract.

Before heading to Black Death City, Li Xiu called Jani over. Now Jani was already the captain of the personal guard of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Previously, Jani was the vice-captain of the city guard. Sha Chu always felt it wasn’t suitable for Jani to be the captain, so he specifically established a personal guard and made Jani the captain.

"Jani pays respects to the City Lord." Jani had been doing well lately, looking much fuller and more spirited than before.

After dealing with the jewelry store father and son who trapped Li Xiu, Jani had thought he could only follow Li Xiu’s path to the end.

Who could have predicted that the City of Light would develop beyond expectations, and even better, it continued to thrive, hosting a magic spirit competition and spreading the Light Planting Technique.

Now, City of Light had been hyped online as a holy land for Trial Takers. Countless people wanting to become Trial Takers were flocking there, even some Trial Takers visiting the City of Light as if on a pilgrimage.

Jani’s title as the captain of the personal guard was akin to a chief of a palace guards in antiquity: seemingly without real power, yet able to manage everything. City of Light’s officials and merchants of all ranks had to give him some face.

Of course, Jani had also done many dirty jobs for the City Lord’s Mansion that were inconvenient for ordinary people, contributing significantly.

"Jani, you’re doing pretty well these days," Li Xiu said, sizing up Jani’s expanded waistline.

"It’s all thanks to the trust and cultivation from the City Lord and Miss Sha Chu," Jani quickly replied, standing up.

"The Light Planting Technique spreading in my city lately, are you interested?" Li Xiu asked, squinting.

Jani shivered, looking at Li Xiu with surprise and delight. "City Lord, have you found a Light Base expert to light the lamp?"

"As captain of the personal guard, responsible for guarding me and the high-ups in the City Lord’s Mansion, your strength does come up short. If there’s an opportunity, you should light a lamp," Li Xiu said plainly.

"For the nurturing from the City Lord, Jani has nothing to repay with but service and loyalty throughout his life..." Jani was moved to tears, seemingly ready to go through fire and water for Li Xiu. Whether this was truly heartfelt or just acting, only he and the heavens knew.
