To Sai Lei, the problem now was whether to publicize the secrets of Corvus Gold or turn Corvus Gold into a chanical weapon and sell it. The latter thod would garner a greater profit. The longer the secrets of Corvus Gold remained discrete, the longer she could monopolize the Corvus Gold. But the ti to withdraw Star coins would take even longer. 10,000 kg of Corvus Gold, one set of First Snowfall required 10kg of Corvus Gold, which ant that if she had to use up all of the Corvus Gold she had, she would need to create 1000 sets of First Snowfall.
The extre numbers astonished Sai Lei, making her think twice about using all her Corvus Gold.
As a grandmaster machine engineer, she was not interested in using her valuable ti to forge a low grade chanical weapon like the First Snowfall. To the average chanical martial artist, a chanical weapon like the First Snowfall was considered a very powerful tool. However, in Sai Lei eyes, she would never perceive First Snowfall as sothing that was worth anything more than it should.
As a godlike chanical engineer, Sai Lei felt that it is her duty to only manufacture chanical weapons that are high-end.
She was now clear that the reason why Corvus Gold was so valuable was because of its suitability to manufacture low grade chanical weapons. It was the nature of Corvus Gold that complented low grade chanic weapons, hence Corvus Gold was not as valuable as Spirit Jade. And people do not mind the heavier weight of Corvus Gold since they were used in low grade chanic weapons.
Sai Lei decided to sell the Corvus Gold off instead.
She could earn 5 billion Star Coins from this transaction alone.
Since the sale was of raw material, Sai Lei needed to find a machine engineer like herself. First she would need to let the machine engineer understand the nature and qualities of the Corvus Gold. And for that to happen, the engineer would have to first witness and understand the working of her chanical weapons.
Sai Lei needed them to understand how the Martial Spirit and the chanical weapon could be combined together, and that would be the new trend that the chanical weapons would take. She was not afraid of people of overtaking her. Her current standards, were raised from the entire warehouse full of Southern Cross Army’s chanical weapons.
Who else was able to find a military warehouse of chanical weapons?
In comparison, 5 billion still looked better. Both Tang Tian and herself required Star Coins.
The young girl’s journey was to garner a sea of Star Coins!
Looking past the Star Coins she could earn, Sai Lei thought of a way to propel her chanical weapons to fa.
So far, there were several platforms for machine engineers to compete against each other. These competitions, especially those of the heavy weight categories, attracted machine engineers and chanical martial artists from different Constellations. These influential events had the ability to proper her chanic weapon to fa.
If she was able to win in several of these competitions, her chanical weapon was bound to be famous among the Constellations.
In order to beco the champion of a competition, one not just required a formidable chanical weapon, but also complent it with a powerful chanical martial artist.
chanical martial artist?
Sai Lei was confident that Bing was definitely the strongest chanical martial artist she had ever seen. Despite having an old style of fighting, Bing possessed an unfathomable strength that allowed him to annihilate all other chanical martial artists of his generation.
Sai Lei swifty forged a chanical weapon for Bing.
First Snowfall was initially a rough and slipshod work because Sai Lei used it for experintal purposes as a chanical weapon. Because Sai Lei’s aim now was to promote Corvus Gold as a material suitable for forging chanical weapons, so she had to bring the cost of manufacturing the new chanical weapon to under 5 million.
Corvus gold cost 500 thousand Star Coins per kilogram.
A single sphere of silver grade Spirit Jade, which weighed 100 grams, cost around 8 million Star Coins but required only 10 kilogram of Corvus Gold.
A similar sphere of silver grade Spirit Jade that weighed 50 grams was not cheaper by much. It required 3 million Star Coins. But its effectiveness was only a quarter of a sphere that weighed 100 grams.
In comparison, the effectiveness of 5 kilogram of Corvus Gold is half that of 100 grams sphere of silver grade Spirit Jade, but cost just 2.5 million. At this rate, the quality to price ratio was imdiately clear.
The most important was the ratio between quality to price.
Soon after analyzing and evaluating quality and price factors, Sai Lei settled on the chanical weapon.
The new chanical weapon was called [Thundersnow]. Its manufacturing cost, which Sai Lei scrutinised diligently, was within 4.5 million. To the average man, the price was considered expensive. But in the chanical world, for anyone who had family property would have the ans to buy it.
What an enormous market for the new chanical weapon!
Sai Lei felt like a gold-hungry monster with the urge to swallow the entire market of the Heaven’s Road.
Bing was definitely the chanical martial artist!
Other than him, who else was more suitable?
Absolutely no one!
Bing could close his eyes and still beco the champion of this alluring and eye catching matter. This wretched of a man, would definitely cry for this big sister!
Feeling excited, Sai Lei went to find Bing.
What she did not expect was that Bing would reject her without any consideration or even hesitation.
“There is nothing to discuss! I don’t mind practicing martial arts indoors because it is sothing I love to do. But to expose my skills in front of everyone, you think I’m tired of living? I am a Soul General who knows how to operate a chanical weapon. This will cause people to be interested in my skills. Before you know it, the Onyx Soul, Honourable Marital group and Clan Union will want to capture . As a forr veteran of the Southern Cross Army, they will want to capture even more!”
Bing was emotional.
Sai Lei was stunned. Having ticulously planned out her strategy, she did not expect the thing that she was confident about the most would end up being an issue.
Tang Tian also frowned: “What Bing said makes sense.”
Having the identity of being a mber of the Southern Cross Army would definitely attract a lot of attention from the public. And to involve Tang Tian’s Heavenly bronze plate would bound to have trouble.
“Then what else can I do?” Sai Lai asked.
Tang Tian rembered: “Wait a minute. Do you rember Brother Wu said that he would introduce a chanical martial artist who will co to our shop? I heard that he is a terrific chanical martial artist.”
“Then let go and ask him.” Sai Lei replied dejectedly. Bing’s rejection to Sai Lei proposition was still a big blow to her as she was very confident that Bing would have joined her if she asked. And with Bing, Sai Lei would have been assured of becoming the champion in the competitions.
After awhile, Tan Tian ca out from the Honorable Martial Plate with a frown.
“Brother Wu said the chanical martial artist had so issues at ho. He will co later instead.”
Everyone was stunned.
Tang Tian felt that Sai Lei plan was excellent, sothing that he could never have thought of. At the sa ti, Bing’s misgivings is understandable. A normal sneak attack by enemies would not have been a problem and with Bing’s skills, he could have evade capture with ease. But in the view of thousands of people, it is hard to predict what might happen. And a big competition would bound to have master artist judging the event.
“Then what else can we do? Our money are all stuck in the Corvus Gold. If we are unable to change the form of the Corvus Gold to sothing useful, I think we will go bankrupt soon.” Sai Lei exclaid with tears dripping down from her eyes.
The dream of a girl’s journey to a sea of Star Coins is about to co to an end.
Bing also felt disappointed. His dream was to at least earn a decent amount from this business but the prospect of giving up on potentially earning a tons of Star Coins made his heart ache. But, Bing also knows that despite him being a Spirit General, his strength had weakened trendously compared to before. In the Spirit Region, his ability to enter the Martial Spirit Chamber anyti he wants was his masterstroke. But he knows this masterstroke is not undefeatable by other skills, since the Constellations are filled with countless star treasures that one might not have seen or heard before.
For all he knew, there are nurous Star Treasures that can disturb or isolate him, preventing him from entering the Martial Spirit Chamber.
5 billion was worth a lot, but to risk your life and to cast away the hope to join back the army, he was determined not to do it.
When everyone was at wits’ end, Tang Tian exclaid: “I shall do it!”
Sai Lei was shocked: “You? Do you even know how to operate a chanical weapon?”
“Though I haven’t used it for a long ti, Bing can teach .”
Sai Lei rolled her eyes: “Will last minute preparation actually help when the competition is only 10 days away? This is the last major competition of the year. If we miss this, we will have to wait for another year.”
The thought that the Corvus Gold would be left untouched in the warehouse until next year and that everyone would not have any money to buy food or other necessities, Tang Tian said: “Not to worry. The last minute preparation by Bing would work.”
Sai Lei turned to look at Bing, who said: “What other choices do we have?”
Sai Lei replied: “It is up to you guys. I have already forged the chanical weapon anyway.”
After finishing, Sai Lei went back to her room, wrapped herself under the blanket and cried.
Once decided, Tang Tian had the face of determination.: “Now let’s start. Where is the chanical weapon?”
Bing pointed at [ThunderSnow] at the corner of the store.
Tang Tian walked towards Thunder Snow with a confidence and courage unlike anyone had ever seen.
To venture into the unknown, for the star coins he would not retreat!
Beginners, beginners, be oppressed, star coins, star coins, co into my arms!
If the plan goes smoothly, 5 billion Star Coins will allow him to be reborn and his strength to increase. Only with higher level spirit cards, better Star Treasures and more power will he be able to reach Southern Cross Constellation
Tang Tian now understood that without strength he was unable to reach the Southern Cross Constellation.
Bell had seen the Constellation map and told him that the next stop on his route to his destination will be Lupus Constellation, which is renowned for its chaos and violence. Though Bell tried to put it in a subtle and reserved manner, Ting Tian knew that Bell was worried for him due to his lack of strength.
And they needed to traverse the entire Lupus Constellation.
Tang Tian was determined that no matter what happens, he was going to make Sai Lei’s plan a success!
I will need to be stronger! Need to help everyone beco much stronger!
The guilt of rejecting Sai Lei due to his own personal problems and the thought of the enormous pile of Star Coins that can be made from this venture made Bing regained his vigor.
Furthermore, at this period of ti, Bing was also curious about the new chanical weapons, always wanting to explore the qualities and capabilities of these new weapons.
Bing took a glance at Tang Tian and told him.
“Let’s begin!”
