Chapter 678 - 277 Paparacha_2
He had previously guessed that little Bu’Er was the key to the City of Love, but he was not willing to use such methods.
"Don’t ask me, I don’t know either. I haven’t been to that city, and I don’t know what kind of place it is," replied the Golden Dinner Knife.
Li Xiu had to turn his attention to searching for traces of the Godslayer Shrine, only to find it standing on the table, already inscribed with a line of writing.
"If you want to know the truth, kill that person, and you will naturally understand everything."
No matter how much Li Xiu asked after that, the Godslayer Shrine remained motionless, never revealing any more writing.
Li Xiu frowned and pondered. Since he knew the City of Love could be revisited, he just needed to find a way to kill the Cloaked Man.
According to the Golden Dinner Knife, if it hadn’t been trapped, it should have the strength for a fight, indicating the Cloaked Man should be a Divine Position Level existence.
After this battle, Li Xiu realized his power was far too inferior. Although reaching Divine Position Level wasn’t necessary to kill the Cloaked Man, he had to make his body stronger to at least withstand greater explosions of Spiritual Sense.
Ghostly Eye Covering can impact the Cloaked Man; as long as his body becomes stronger, he could use Spiritual Sense to control the Cloaked Man.
Asking no more, Li Xiu packed his things, preparing to return to Longevity Heaven. He must quickly enhance his physical qualities, then head to the City of Love to figure out what’s really going on.
Without sufficient strength, going to the City of Love again is pointless.
This time accompanying Li Xiu to Longevity Heaven were Sha Chu, Chu Jun, Chu Qi, Ximen Guan, and A Fei, while the City of Light was temporarily managed by the Ye siblings.
"Is the chairman building the city here because of the Unparalleled King, or because of Black Death City and the City of Love?" Li Xiu constantly pondered this question along the way.
He increasingly felt that the construction of the City of Light by the chairman wasn’t so simple.
Wanting to join Longevity Heaven inevitably requires passing the Blood Seal Stone test, but fortunately, Li Xiu can manage Chu Jun and the others’ Blood Seal Stones himself, so there should be no issues.
Li Xiu, as Commander, issued invitation cards to Chu Jun and the others, all of which were for Super Membership.
The Commander could issue a total of only ten Super Membership cards, meaning he could invite only ten super members, although there were many ordinary membership invitation cards.
Ordinary members essentially received few benefits, whereas super members had welfare, but naturally, they couldn’t be numerous.
"Is this Longevity Heaven?" For the first time, Chu Jun and the others were awestruck by the bizarre and magnificent scenery of Spiral Mountain.
"I never thought I’d return here after so many years," Ximen Guan remarked with some sentiment.
With Li Xiu leading the way, they easily entered Longevity City. After completing the entry ceremony at the Temple of Heaven, Li Xiu brought them to Yard No. 7 for a simple room assignment.
Chu Jun, taking Chu Qi, eagerly headed for the Gem Market, having a significant fund as support, making Longevity Heaven a natural fit for him.
Sha Chu took A Fei to familiarize themselves with the environment of Longevity City, while Li Xiu led Ximen Guan to the Magic Armor Research Institute.
"Commander, you’re back?" Lei Qingfeng and Qiu Tianyu hurriedly came up to greet Li Xiu.
"Where’s Professor Xu?" Li Xiu asked.
"Still researching the new Multi-core Magic Armor," Qiu Tianyu replied.
Today’s research institute is no longer the retirement home it used to be; those old researchers are energized, researching Magic Armor that even an ordinary S-Class Magic Armor Master could use, each full of vigor.
Inside the laboratory, Ximen Guan examined the instruments along the way.
"Commander." Professor Xu and several senior researchers, who were discussing the Multi-core Magic Armor plan, stood up to welcome Li Xiu upon his arrival.
"Professor, I’ve brought you a colleague; from now on, he’ll be our institute’s advisor," Li Xiu said, pointing to Ximen Guan.
"Advisor?" Professor Xu was slightly startled and couldn’t help but scrutinize Ximen Guan.
Other researchers also frowned secretly, while Lei Qingfeng and Qiu Tianyu looked puzzled.
The advisor role can vary greatly, potentially dispensable with some having no say, while others hold significant authority, even supervisory and decision-making powers.
Li Xiu bringing in an advisor now made not just the old researchers uncomfortable, but even Lei Qingfeng and Qiu Tianyu felt uneasy.
"Commander, do you not trust our institute’s research capabilities?" an outspoken old man directly questioned.
"Of course, I trust your research capabilities. The main reason for inviting him is to provide more research ideas," Li Xiu replied.
"Commander, what we need aren’t research ideas but resources. With resources, we can create any Magic Armor," another old man stated.
Li Xiu wanted to say more, but Ximen Guan stepped forward, stood at the table, and looked at the blueprints and data on it.
Li Xiu said no more, quietly watching. Whether Ximen Guan could establish himself in the institute would depend on his own capabilities. In this regard, Li Xiu had considerable confidence in him.
Ximen Guan picked up the pen on the table, took the blueprints, and began writing and sketching directly on them.
"What are you doing!" An old man angrily wanted to stop Ximen Guan but was halted by Professor Xu.
