When 'God' Decides To Start Over

Chapter 701 - 285: The Happy Prince

Spirit Casting, for places outside of Heaven of Longevity, is nothing more than a myth, and it’s a secret passed down only among the top family circles.

With the intelligence and connections of the Chu Family, they had long discovered the levels of demon spirits but never dared to leak even a whisper of it, only circulating it among the core members of the family.

If ordinary people found out that the demon spirits appearing on Earth were nothing but trash, and that the ones slain by the Magic Armor Masters were of the lowest, most worthless kinds, no one could predict the consequences.

The status of the Magic Armor Masters would likely be severely impacted, and naturally, the Chu Family wouldn’t do something so self-destructive.

"Chu Jun, you’re joking, right? Magic Armor killing Spirit Forging level demon spirits? How could such a thing happen..."

"Has Heaven of Longevity’s magic armor technology really advanced to that degree? If so, we must collaborate with them, or we risk being left behind."

"If there really was such advanced technology, why wouldn’t Heaven of Longevity manage it themselves? Why would they cooperate with us? Is there truly any such good fortune falling from the sky?"

"I think there’s definitely something wrong here. Chu Jun, where did you hear this from? Have you fallen for Heaven of Longevity’s trick?"

The crowd voiced their doubts, largely disbelieving that Heaven of Longevity’s magic armor technology had advanced so far.

It’s not surprising they doubted it; creating advanced Magic Armor requires meeting two essential conditions: one is the material for crafting high-level Magic Armor. High-Level Demon Spirit Materials are already scarce, making mass production nearly impossible. Producing one or two sets of advanced Magic Armor has little significance for Magic Armor Masters as a whole.

The second is the issue with the Magic Armor Masters themselves. Since the spiritual sense of top-level Magic Armor Masters has a bottleneck, even if there is Magic Armor crafted from advanced materials, the Magic Armor Masters can’t activate them, rendering them useless.

Ultimately, the problem lies with the materials and energy systems that require resolution.

Capable Magic Armor manufacturers have been researching composite materials and multi-core energy systems. Only with breakthroughs in these two technologies can Magic Armor technology have greater development.

White Night City invested heavily in these two projects, but the progress has not been significant. The recent achievement, Nightwalker, barely scrapes the threshold of the Super Spirit level, still worlds apart from Spirit Casting.

So it’s hard for them to believe that Heaven of Longevity had already researched Magic Armor capable of killing Spirit Forging level demon spirits.

"Uncles and elders, this isn’t something I heard from someone else; I saw it with my own eyes, and everyone in Heaven of Longevity knows of it." Chu Jun recounted what he witnessed in Heaven of Longevity, leaving the Chu Family leaders with shifting expressions.

"So Heaven of Longevity has indeed researched such Magic Armor, but it must have used rare high-level materials, unlikely to be mass-produced in the short term."

"Mass production is definitely impossible; otherwise, there would have been more than just that one set with Li Xiu. If they could mass-produce, the Magic Armor Masters guarding the Trial Gate would have been equipped long ago."

"But since they managed to create such a degree of Magic Armor, Heaven of Longevity’s Magic Armor technology is indeed above ours in White Night City."

"If Space City really has researched mass-producible Super Spirit level Magic Armor, collaborating with Heaven of Longevity is our best choice now. After all, in the short term, it’s difficult for us to create composite materials that can fully withstand the Energy Matrix..."

Chu Sanhu waved his hand, and once the crowd quieted down, he slowly said, "Let’s wait for the test results before making a decision."

Li Xiu was touring around White Night City with Sha Chu and A Fei, treating it as a vacation and seizing the rare opportunity to relax.

When Chu Jun hurriedly came to find Li Xiu, Li Xiu knew that this matter was likely a success.

After a few days of negotiations, Li Xiu and the Chu Family reached an initial consensus for cooperation, signing many agreements.

Li Xiu led his group back to Heaven of Longevity, leaving the remaining tasks for Sha Chu to handle.

Every set of Magic Armor produced by the Chu Family in the future would have a share for Li Xiu, and the Chu Family also had to purchase equipment from Heaven of Longevity, relying on them for some material imports.

It’s not that those materials aren’t available elsewhere; they are, but in small quantities and at high prices, naturally falling short of the convenience of importing from Heaven of Longevity.

Of course, the prices were within the acceptable range for the Chu Family, and Li Xiu also made some concessions. After all, if the Chu Family is to compete against Space City, they can’t have too high costs, or they will lose their ability to compete, and if the Magic Armor doesn’t sell, Li Xiu would also suffer losses.

Before leaving, Li Xiu went to say goodbye to Li Qingyi.

Li Qingyi’s progress was also quite smooth. What she discussed with the Chu Family was the demon spirit material business.

The output of demon spirit materials in Heaven of Longevity far exceeded the consumption, and the accumulated materials from various houses needed handling.

This time, they contacted the Chu Family, hoping to sell to them at a low price, but the final negotiated price was much higher than expected. Li Qingyi considered her task perfectly completed.

"I should really thank you. If it weren’t for you discussing the new Magic Armor business with the Chu Family, their increased demand for demon spirit materials wouldn’t have allowed me to negotiate such a price." Li Qingyi had already learned about Li Xiu’s business talks with the Chu Family.

"Mutual benefits." Li Xiu glanced at the small puppy sleeping soundly beside Li Qingyi, deciding for now not to take it away.
