The old man and Mo Wuya were drinking tea while looking at the documents in their hands, seemingly studying something very important.

"Thanks to the joint efforts of the four major groups, two vice presidents, and several general directors, this year's competition has transformed the Sixth Immortal Group into the Seventh Immortal Group. This is interesting." The immortal old man said with a smile while reading the document.

"How can the Li family let the resources of the Magic Armor Group go? The competition is related to the allocation of resources for the next year. In the past, the Magic Armor Group received fixed resources and did not participate in the allocation of the competition. Now that the Magic Armor Group also participates in the allocation of resources, the original extra resources can only be taken out and divided together. This is also a good thing for us." Mo Wuya said, while looking at the document.

"In this way, although Li Changyin can't take away all the resources that belonged to the Magic Equipment Group, he still has the opportunity to take away some of them. Other families and groups will also have the opportunity to share a piece of the pie. Everyone is happy to see it happen. The only one who is uncomfortable is the Technician Group." The old man laughed and said, "The competition looks at the overall strength. The general director is not allowed to participate. The team members below must have three people participate in the battle. The resources for the next year will be allocated based on the number of wins and losses. The Technician Group is afraid that they will suffer a great loss this time. Apart from Jing Li, is there anyone else in the Technician Group who can fight? Even if it is Jing Li, it may be difficult for him to win all the games. It will be good if he doesn't come in last."

"Jing Li is someone who has at least one foot in the Light Foundation. It shouldn't be difficult for him to win all the competitions, right?" Mo Wuya said with some doubt.

"This competition is different from the previous ones. In the previous competitions, each family and group had a tacit understanding, and everyone knew how much they should get, so there was no need to fight hard. This time it's different. Who doesn't want to take a bigger bite of the big cake of the technician group? The Li family even wants to knock Li Xiu's technician group to death with one stick. I estimate that among the people from each family and group participating in the competition this time, there will most likely be light-based level people." The immortal old man analyzed.

"That's right. It seems we should make more preparations. Our team's resources have always been insufficient. I hope we can get more this time." Mo Wuya said with a smile.

"You talk as if no one is enough. I have asked my second son to come back to participate in this competition." The old man laughed.

"You have no shame at all. Your second son has already become an elder, but you still let him participate in the competition. You are really throwing your face on the ground!" Mo Wuya said with a wry smile.

"Why should I be proud? The resources I have are real. Besides, I only said that the chief director cannot participate in the competition, but I didn't say that the elders cannot participate. My operation is legal and compliant." The old man curled his lips and said, "If you are not convinced, you can also let your son participate as an elder. I have no objection at all."

Mo Wuya said disdainfully: "I am not as long-lived as you. I cannot give birth to a son that old. You are already in your seventies or eighties and you still want to fight for me."

"It's my fault that you can't give birth to a son." The old man became more and more proud.

Mo Wuya snorted coldly: "Although my son is not capable, we in the Mo family have Mo Weidao."

"Mo Weidao is a member of the Mohist school. At most, he can fight on behalf of the Mohist school. What does he have to do with your Changsheng Group?" The old immortal said in astonishment.

"I'm sorry, Mo Weidao joined our Longevity Group yesterday." Mo Wuya said calmly.

“Oh my god, you are more shameless than me. You actually directly seek external help…” The old man widened his eyes.

"Who made me not have so many old sons?" Mo Wuya curled his lips.

"If you bring Mo Weidao here, what about the Mo family?" said the immortal old man.

"The Mo family has its own person, so you don't have to worry about this." Mo Wuya seemed confident.

"It seems that every family will fight hard in this competition." The old man was a little depressed.

"We must fight hard. The Magic Equipment Group used to occupy so many resources. Even if they get just 10% or 20%, it will not be a small amount. All the families and groups are gearing up for it." Mo Wuya said.

"Alas, I just feel sorry for the technician team." The old man gloated over the misfortune.

"If he's lucky, Jing Li can still win a few games. If he's unlucky, the whole army will be wiped out. I guess he can only get a guaranteed reward." Mo Wuya said.

"What did the Tao-seeking group say?" asked the immortal old man.

"Although the Seeking Dao Group has an old super member who is at the Light Base level, that guy is very close to the Han family. Before Han Mingshou was elected as the director-general, he made a lot of efforts. It is estimated that he will not fight for the Wanchao family." Mo Wuya murmured.

"I'm afraid Wan Chaochun will fight without caring about his reputation, then someone in the Wan Chao family will definitely win." The old man said with some concern.

"You have no shame, how can you expect others to have shame? Given the current situation of the Wan Chao family, Wan Chaochun will definitely go to war." Mo Wuya said.

"What a headache." The old man felt a toothache.

While Mo Wuya and Old Immortal were discussing, the other families were also planning their own competitions.

There are so many people who want to have a piece of this big cake of the technician team.

Li Xiu doesn’t know about the competition yet, and spends every day in the beast land studying his new skills.

A thunder bird was bombarding lightning from the sky. Li Xiu stretched out his hand and the lightning that was originally striking his head suddenly changed direction and was drawn into his palm, then disappeared in a flash.

"It's done." Li Xiu was happy.

The combination of God's Hand and Bottle Suction was finally successful, but the magic light of the Thunder Bird was not strong enough to support the consumption of Bottle Suction, so the absorbed magic light was consumed and could not be introduced into the body to be converted into Li Xiu's own light energy.

"It seems that I need to find a stronger demon to try." Li Xiu's mind moved, and the Jedi Knight flew into the air and killed the Thunder Bird with one sword.

Li Xiu has killed countless evil spirits here these days. Most of them were not killed by him, but died because their magic light was exhausted.

Li Xiu thought about it and decided to go to that strange mountain and borrow the golden bird to continue testing his new skills.

Li Zhengxing came all the way to the foot of the mountain that reached the sky. When he was about to climb up, he suddenly saw a strange man riding a shark appear on the grassland in the distance.

"Jiuxiaoyun...what is this guy doing here?" Li Xiu frowned slightly.

Jiuxiaoyun was obviously coming for Li Xiu, and the Moxing Shark riding on it arrived in front of Li Xiu in a short while.

"Chief Li, what a coincidence, we meet again." Jiu Xiaoyun jumped off the back of the Demon Shark and came to Li Xiu and said.

"It's not a coincidence that you come here, right?" Li Xiu said indifferently.

"Hehe, Chief Li is indeed a smart person. I came to you to discuss something important." Jiuxiaoyun laughed.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiu asked.

"Has the list of members of your technician team participating in the competition been finalized?" Jiu Xiaoyun asked back.

"What competition?" Li Xiu frowned.

"You don't know about the competition?" Jiu Xiaoyun was a little surprised.

"Tell me about it." Li Xiu had not been to the technician group recently, so how would he know what the competition was.

"Then don't be angry after hearing this." Jiu Xiaoyun told the story of the competition again.

"In other words, the Magic Armor Group's resources used to be fixed and they didn't have to participate in the competition. Now the Technician Group no longer has this privilege and must participate in the competition to obtain resources. A large part of the resources that previously belonged to the Magic Armor Group have been included in the reward pool?" Li Xiu couldn't help but frown.

"Yes, the Magic Armor Group used to occupy too many resources, and now they have been included in the reward pool. Whichever company or group is stronger can take a share. If your technician group loses, you can only get a guaranteed share, which is probably less than one-tenth of the previous share. Resources will be distributed according to this ratio throughout the next year." Jiuxiaoyun explained.

"The Chief cannot participate in the competition?" Li Xiu asked again.

"Definitely not. The competition is about the overall strength of each group and each family, not about letting each family and group fight to the death. If so, it will be too embarrassing for the general manager." Jiu Xiaoyun said with a smile: "This time, each family and group is trying their best to get a piece of the pie. I guess they will at least get a light base level to participate in the competition. Your technician group only has one Jing Li, but it is unlikely to win against the light base level. If you don't operate well, you may lose everything and can only get the guaranteed resources at that time."

Li Xiu understood Jiu Xiaoyun's meaning. The list of opponents for the competition was customized by Han Minghui, and then voted on by the four major families and each group, following the principle of minority obeying majority.

Now that there is an opportunity to get a piece of the pie, it is estimated that few people from the Big Four and the other six groups will object, and it will be useless for Li Xiu to object himself.

If Han Minghui arranges the battle list so that all of Jing Li's opponents are at the light-based level, the technician team may find it really hard to win.

"There are not many people in each light-based group, and even fewer who can be called up to the field. It is estimated that each family will only have one person on the field at most. Even if they target Jing Li, if there is still one person who can help you win, at least you can get back some resources, don't you think?" Jiu Xiaoyun said with a smile.

"Do you want to fight on behalf of the technician team?" Li Xiu looked at Jiu Xiaoyun and said.

“I’m Jiuxiaoyun, but I’m now at 98% super spiritual. Although I’m not as good as that monster Jing Li, I don’t take ordinary super spiritual trial-takers seriously. I should be able to win a lot of games for the technician team.” Jiuxiaoyun had the lonely look of a master.

"What conditions?" Li Xiu asked.

"I'll get half of the extra resources from the technician team." Jiu Xiaoyun had already made plans, and said immediately after hearing this.

"You are really not greedy. You only took half and left me the other half." Li Xiu curled his lips.

"Director Li, that's not the case. Without me, your technician team will have a hard time winning. To put it bluntly, all those extra resources were fought for by me for your technician team. You won't lose out if I take half." Jiu Xiaoyun said.

Li Xiu pondered to himself, "Most of the current members of the technician team are magic armor masters. The strongest magic armor masters can only fight with ordinary super-spiritual trialists at best, and their winning rate is not high. There is no one who can compete with light-based trialists. Only Jing Li has some hope. With this calculation, the resources that can be brought back are indeed too few."

Li Xiu also knew that this was not rational. Magic equipment research was a job that consumed a lot of resources, and there was no reason to share the resources with the trial-takers in this way.

But he didn't have the final say in this matter. It was probably most likely Li Changyin's doing. He had no way to change anything. He could only think of a way during the competition, hoping to get back as many resources as possible.

It is obviously unrealistic to take back the resources that originally belonged to the magic team members relying solely on the current foundation of the technician team. It would be great if we could find strong foreign aid.

After thinking about it, who can I find in Changshengtian?

Only the Eighth Master and Wan Chaochun are familiar with each other, but the Eighth Master is the head of a hospital and has a fixed allocation of resources, just like the magic equipment group before. He does not need to participate in any competitions and it is impossible for him to join the technician group. The Eighth Master's status also allows him to fight hard.

There is no need to think about Wan Chaochun. Even if she is willing to swallow her pride and participate in the competition, she will definitely go to help Wan Chaoxin's seeking group.

After much thought, I couldn't find any suitable personnel other than the existing members of the technician team.

Li Xiu thought Jiuxiaoyun's suggestion was good, but it was a pity that Jiuxiaoyun was only a super spirit. Li Xiu really looked down on him. Being a super spirit did not guarantee victory, and he asked for too much.

Unfortunately, Li Xiu has no choice now. Apart from Jiu Xiaoyun, who came to him on his own initiative, he can't find anyone else.

"As for resources, the technician team doesn't have enough, so it's impossible to share them with you. Why don't we change the conditions?" Li Xiu looked at Jiu Xiaoyun and said with a smile.

"In addition to those resources, what else can you offer to trade with me, President Li?" Jiu Xiaoyun asked puzzledly.

"How about this, you help me participate in the competition, and after it's successful, I will let you officially join the technician team." Li Xiu said.

Jiu Xiaoyun looked at Li Xiu as if he was looking at a fool. After a long while, he curled his lips and said, "Chief Li, you are still asleep, right? Don't think I am being harsh. If it weren't for helping your technician team to participate in the competition, I would never want to join your technician team."

"I am a Super Spirit Trialist. No matter which group I want to join, the general manager will welcome me. Why should I go to your technician group? Except for Jing Li, your group is full of magic equipment masters and researchers. They are of no help to me. You offered me money to join, and I still have to consider it. You actually want to make joining the technician group a condition. Am I crazy or are you crazy?"

Li Xiu smiled and said, "Don't rush to refuse. Let me analyze it for you."

"Okay, tell me, I want to see what you can analyze." Jiu Xiaoyun had an expression that said, "Let's see what tricks you can come up with." The expression was like a staff member of the anti-fraud center encountering a scammer.

"You didn't get promoted to the light base level, right?" Li Xiu said.

"No, but my situation is different from Jing Li's. He was suppressed by the four major families and had no chance. I think I have the opportunity to be promoted to the light base at any time, but I don't want to be promoted to the light base for the time being." Jiuxiaoyun said.

"Why not?" Li Xiu asked.

"I want to raise the upper limit of the super spirit to 100%. The higher the upper limit of the super spirit, the stronger it will be after being promoted to the light base. Talented people like me must of course pursue perfection." Jiuxiaoyun said proudly.

"Isn't the upper limit of the super spirit of the symbiotic contract fixed?" Li Xiu was a little confused.

"It is fixed, but there are also some things that can forcibly increase the upper limit of the super spirit of the symbiotic contract. I heard that you helped Li Qingyi to upgrade to the light base before. Didn't she tell you? Her unbreakable ice shield must have used those things, and the upper limit of the super spirit must be 100%."

Jiu Xiaoyun paused and said, "It's just that those things are too rare. I used one before and it increased from 94% to 98%. If I want to reach 100%, I have to see if I have the chance to get another one. Maybe one is not enough, and I need a second one."

"So, you won't be promoted to the light base for a long time in the future, right?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.

"Yes, you don't think you have something that can increase the super soul upper limit of the symbiotic contract, right? If you have it, I will help you to participate in the competition immediately, and I will try my best to help you win at the risk of my life." Jiu Xiaoyun didn't think that Li Xiu really had those things.

"Of course I don't have anything like that." Li Xiu shook his head.

"What else is there to say? Now you have two choices. Either pretend I have never been here, or give me half of the resources. Well, I'll make a concession and split the extra resources 40% to 60%. You take 60%. Is that okay?" Jiu Xiaoyun said.

"I said, resources cannot be divided." Li Xiu shook his head again.

"Then just pretend I've never been here." Jiu Xiaoyun said and turned away.

"If I can enable you to condense light veins without being promoted to the light base level, would you be willing to join the technician team to participate in the competition?" Li Xiu said, looking at Jiu Xiaoyun's back.

Jiu Xiaoyun listened to Li Xiu's words and said disdainfully: "Are you kidding me? How can you condense light veins without upgrading your light base? Not to mention that such a thing is impossible. Even if it exists, how can you, a magic armor master and low-level trial participant, get such a thing?"

"I just ask you if you want it." Li Xiu did not argue with Jiu Xiaoyun and said calmly.

Jiu Xiaoyun saw that Li Xiu's expression didn't seem to be joking. Although he felt that it was impossible for such a thing to exist, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you really have such a thing?"

"I have researched a method that allows you to condense light veins before you are promoted to the light base level. If you are interested, join my technician team and participate in the competition. I will help you condense light veins." Li Xiu said.

"Do you think I'm a fool?" After hearing what Li Xiu said, Jiu Xiaoyun was sure that Li Xiu was fooling him.

A C-level trial participant has developed a method to condense light veins without having to advance to the light base level. This is bullshit.

"Not like it." Li Xiu looked at Jiu Xiaoyun and said.

"That's right. Since I'm not a fool, do you think I would believe your nonsense that even dogs wouldn't believe?" Jiu Xiaoyun turned over and rode on the back of the Demon Shark, curled his lips and said, "You'd better save these nonsense to fool your son. I won't accompany you anymore."

After saying that, Jiu Xiaoyun rode the Demon Shark away, not wanting to chat nonsense with Li Xiu any longer.

Li Xiu did not speak again to keep him, he knew Jiu Xiaoyun would not believe anything he said now. For someone like Jiu Xiaoyun who would not give up until he saw the rabbit, he could only be made to see actual benefits.

When Jing Li comes back, it will not be difficult to pull Jiu Xiaoyun over. Li Xiu has already included Jiu Xiaoyun in his resource-grabbing team.

"Now that we have Jiuxiaoyun and Jingli, we need to find another person. It seems that we can only find one among the magic armor masters." Li Xiu thought about it and gave up the idea of ​​looking for the big golden bird for the time being. He went back to study whether there was a suitable candidate among the magic armor masters. If not, he would train one himself.
