"I wonder what the way is?" Li Xiu couldn't just say no, so he had to ask.

"You have held a magic spirit competition in the City of Light before, so why not hold it again?" The president said slowly.

Li Xiu finally understood what the way to make money the president was talking about. The president asked him to organize another competition, but this time it was not a pure magic spirit competition, but a competition in which trial-takers would also participate.

Holding a trial contest itself shouldn't be very profitable, so Li Xiu wasn't too interested in it.

But the president has already said it, and it is difficult for Li to refuse to do it.

"You don't have to have that expression. Just hold the competition. Besides that, the association plans to set up a comprehensive market for trial-takers, demon spirits, and related materials in your City of Light. Changshengtian's various surplus resources will be sold in your market, and you will be the exclusive agent." The president saw that Li Xiu agreed reluctantly, and continued.

Li Xiu was overjoyed when he heard this. This was real big business.

Nowadays, various resources related to trial-takers are relatively scarce and the prices are relatively high.

By putting Changshengtian’s resources into the market, the cost of cultivation for ordinary trial-takers outside will be greatly reduced, and the safety factor of the trial will be greatly improved.

Of course, it's primarily markets like this that will make the City of Lights a lot of money.

"Please rest assured, President. I will make sure this Trial Contest is a success." Li Xiu promised, patting his chest.

"I wonder when you, President, plan to start this Trial Competition?" Li Xiu thought for a moment and asked again.

"The sooner the better." The president said lightly.

"Okay, I'll start preparing right away." Li Xiu said and left.

On the way back, Li Xiu kept thinking about how to deal with this trial competition.

He roughly guessed why the president wanted to hold the Magic Spirit Competition and set up a market in the City of Light.

The demons in the trial land have been restless recently, and their activities have become more and more frequent. After the rebellion of the Li family, although Changshengtian was not seriously injured, it also suffered a lot of losses, and has fewer available manpower.

Li Xiu guessed that the president wanted to attract more trials from outside to join Changshengtian, otherwise there would be less and less manpower to suppress the trial gate in the future.

After returning to Courtyard No. 7, Li Xiu called Sha Chu, A Fei, Chu Jun and the others back and told them about the president's plan to hold a trial competition and build a market in the City of Light.

“If we can become the exclusive agent for the sale of Changshengtian’s resources in the future, the City of Light will be able to prosper in no time,” said Chu Jun.

"It's good, but when holding a competition like this, troubles are inevitable," said Li Xiu.

"What trouble? The City of Light has a ready-made arena, and it is constantly expanding. The venue is no longer a problem. Moreover, we have experience in hosting Magic Spirit Competitions, so there shouldn't be any major mistakes." Chu Jun said.

"When we held the Magic Spirit Competition before, there were relatively few trialists outside, and few of them recognized us. Later, only trialists from nearby came. This time, when we hold the Trialist Competition, the number of people coming will probably be more than before, and a large number of people will be needed to maintain order." Li Xiu said.

"Aren't you the chief? You can transfer some magic armor masters over there." Chu Jun said.

"After the Li family's rebellion, Changshengtian was already short of manpower. Even if we could transfer some manpower, it wouldn't be too many," said Li Xiu.

The group discussed until midnight, and only dispersed after deciding on several plans.

Li Xiu carried Zai Zai to Wangsheng Town, and soon arrived at the slums where the fish people gathered.

Li Xiu stood at the entrance of the alley for a while before he saw the mermaid coming towards him.

"General, do you have any instructions for me?" The siren came up to Li Xiu and bowed respectfully.

"Siren, do you want to change the fate of these fishmen?" Li Xiu asked the siren.

"Yes, sir." The siren's eyes suddenly lit up and she looked at Li Xiu in surprise.

"I need to select a group of magic armor masters. Will the murloc take this path or not?" Li Xiu said to the siren.

If one wants to train a group of people who can form combat effectiveness in a short period of time, magic armor masters are undoubtedly a shortcut.

As long as you find someone with the talent of a magic armorer and train him for a short period of time for a month, or even just half a month, you can develop a good fighting force. This is an advantage that the trial-takers do not have.

Many of these murlocs are descendants of magic armor masters, and the probability that they possess the talent of magic armor masters is very high. As long as the sirens and those murlocs are willing, Li Xiu can have a team of magic armor masters in a short time.

The difficulty lies in the fact that the status of magic armor masters in Changshengtian is too low. The fishmen before were unwilling to become magic armor masters, and Li Xiu could not force them to become magic armor masters and work for him.

He came here hoping to convince the sirens and the fishmen.

"We'll go this way." The Siren was surprisingly straightforward and said to Li Xiu directly, "When do you need us, General Manager? How many people do you need?"

"Are those fishmen willing to take this path?" Some of the words Li Xiu had prepared were no longer useful at this time, catching him off guard.

“Many of the fishmen in Wangsheng Town are descendants of magic armor masters. Their elders were magic armor masters who shed blood and fought for Changshengtian, but their descendants fell to the point of becoming fishmen. Therefore, many of the fishmen in Wangsheng Town have sworn that they will never let their children become magic armor masters no matter what.”

The sea monster looked at Li Xiu and said slowly: "Before you came to Changshengtian, no matter who came here, don't think of taking a child from us, and no one would be willing to become a magic costume master. But now that you are here, we are willing to take another gamble."

"Why?" Li Xiu asked the mermaid.

"Because you, sir, have given us fishmen hope." The sea monster knelt down in front of Li Xiu with a plop, and placed her hands on the ground, begging loudly, "Sir, fishmen are not afraid of death, nor are they afraid of shedding blood and fighting. I only ask you to find a way for our children to leave Wangsheng Town, so that our descendants will no longer have to struggle in pain at the bottom of society for generations."

"I once said that as long as there is a magic armor master who joins my technician team, no matter whether his children have the talent of magic armor masters in the future, all generations can join my technician team." Li Zheng said calmly.

"With your words, I can leave those children to you with peace of mind." The mermaid bowed three times to Li Xiu, stood up and said, "From now on, we fishmen will leave our lives to you, sir."

As she spoke, the mermaid took out a conch from her body, put it to her mouth and blew out a strange sound.

After a while, children came out of the slum one after another. Some of them were only seven or eight years old, some were in their twenties, and most of them were teenagers.

Some of them had determined eyes, some had timid eyes, and most had eyes full of longing. But no matter what, they all walked out of their homes and came to Li Xiu one by one.

More than a hundred children came to Li Xiu. Following the Siren's command, all the children knelt down in front of Li Xiu and said, "We are willing to follow you until death."

"Sir, these one hundred and thirty-two children were born in our Wangsheng Town in the past twenty years. They are children with S-level magic armorer talents. I leave their lives in your hands." The Siren's eyes slowly looked from those children to Li Xiu, and said with a trembling voice.

Li Xiu looked at the siren deeply. He knew that there were many children with the talent of magic armorers among the mermen, but he did not expect that there would be so many children with S-level talents.

It is hard to imagine the effort the Siren put in to save so many children and prevent them from being taken to Changsheng City.

"From now on, they are members of my technician team, and their children will be members of my technician team in the future." Li Xiu looked at the Siren and said slowly: "This is just the beginning. Take good care of the others and wait."

"Siren, wait for my lord."

Li Xiu brought these 132 children to Changsheng City. He had not thought that there would be so many children with S-level talents. He originally planned to recruit some children with magic outfit talents, even if they were only A-level or B-level talents. He never thought it would be like this.

When Li Xiu brought more than a hundred merman children into Changsheng City, many people pointed at these merman children, wondering why Li Xiu brought so many merman children to Changsheng City.

Li Xiu brought the children all the way to the compound where Han Minghui worked.

Han Minghui had received the news in advance and came out to meet them as soon as possible.

"Chief Li, what do you mean?" Han Minghui and her staff looked at the ragged fish-man children behind Li Xiu with suspicion.

"I'll bring them here to register." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Registration? What registration?" Han Minghui asked puzzledly. She never thought that Li Xiu would accept so many fish-man children into the technician team.

You have to know that the total amount of resources for each group is there. The more people in each group, the less resources are allocated to each person. Generally, no general manager would recruit members on such a large scale.

"They will be members of my technician team in the future. Vice President Han, please register them." Li Xiu said calmly.

"You want to recruit so many merman children into the technician team?" Han Minghui looked at the merman children in surprise.

"Isn't it possible?" Li Xiu asked back.

"Of course you can, but there are rules within the association that each group is responsible for the resources and expenses needed by its members. We will not allocate more resources to a group simply because there are more members," said Han Minghui.

"Of course I know this. Do you have any other questions?" Li Xiu said lightly, as if he didn't care at all about what Han Minghui said.

"No more." Han Minghui shook her head.

"Then please ask Vice President Han to register them. There are a total of 132 people, all of whom are members of my technician group." Li Xiu swept his eyes across the faces of those children and said firmly.

Han Minghui had no choice but to ask the staff to register these fish-man children one by one and let them join the technician team.

"I have to remind you, Chief Li." When the staff was registering the fishmen children, Han Minghui stood next to Li Xiu and said, "These fishmen will join the technician team. There is no problem with other things, but you need to pay for the blood seal stone yourself, which is not a small amount. Do you think these fishmen are worth a blood seal stone?"

Li Xiu knew this problem. He only distributed a few Blood Seal Stones to the chief every year. He recruited so many team members at one time, so he had to pay for the Blood Seal Stones himself. After all, there was a cost to making Blood Seal Stones, and the cost was not high. The Blood Seal Stones needed for these 132 fishman children were indeed not a small number.

However, compared with their value, Li Xiu didn't think the money was worth it.

"It's just a little money. I can afford it." Li Xiu said lightly.

Han Minghui thought: "You have money, so you should pay me back the money I owe you for the banquet first."

After completing the registration, Li Xiu paid the money, took the blood seal stone, and took the children to the magic costume master compound.

Originally, the Blood Seal Stone was under the management of Vice President Bai, but the Bai family stood on the wrong side in this rebellion, and Vice President Bai has been imprisoned. The businesses in his hands have been temporarily taken over by Han Minghui, who made great contributions in the rebellion.

The news that Li Xiu recruited more than a hundred merman children quickly spread throughout Changshengtian. Many people were discussing this matter, wondering why Li Xiu recruited so many merman children.

When Li Xiu brought these fish-man children to the magic costume masters' compound, even the magic costume masters didn't quite understand why Li Xiu brought them to the magic costume masters' compound.

"Captain, what are you doing?" Captain Qian Chongshan came to Li Xiu and looked at the merman children in confusion.

"From now on, they will all be members of the Magic Armor Master Team. I'll give you one month to train them properly." Li Xiu said to Qian Chongshan.

"General Manager..." Qian Chongshan hesitated, as if he had something to say.

"Just say what you want to say." Li Xiu said casually.

Qian Chongshan gritted his teeth and said, "General Manager, you should know that we, as magic armor masters, value quality over quantity. In a place like Changshengtian, magic armor masters below S level are useless. Sending them on a mission to guard the trial gate is no different from sending them to their deaths..."

"How do you know they are not S-level magic armor masters?" Li Xiu asked with a smile after Qian Chongshan finished speaking.

Qian Chongshan was slightly startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "Chief, please stop joking. S-level magic costume masters are not cabbages on the roadside. How can there be so many of them? When Bai Wanli was managing the magic costume team, he would go to Wangsheng Town every year to recruit children with magic costume master talents. At most, he could recruit one or two with S-level talents a year..."

"Others told me that they all have S-level talents. If you think it's impossible, then give them a test." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Chief, you are too sentimental. You believe whatever others say. How could there be so many murloc children with S-level talents? I will take them for a test first. Those with S-level talents can stay, but those with poor talents should be sent back." Qian Chongshan said earnestly while arranging people to test the magic armor talents of these children.

Li Xiu just smiled and didn't comment.

The other magic costumers who were taking the merman children for testing also felt that Li Xiu's joke was a bit too much.

But when they tested the children one by one, their faces turned a little strange.

"S-level talent... S-level talent... and S-level talent... This is a fucking joke!" The expressions of the magic armor masters turned serious.

Qian Chongshan saw that the magic costumers in charge of the test had strange expressions on their faces, and asked quickly, "What's going on?"

"It seems like there's something wrong with the instrument... They all have S-level talents... All of them have S-level talents..." said the magician who was in charge of checking the results in disbelief.

Qian Chongshan was surprised and happy. He ran over to take a look at the test results and his eyes widened immediately. They were all S-level talents, not even an A-level one.

In the past, it was good enough for Sheng Town to produce one or two S-levels every year. It was hard to believe that Li Xiu brought back so many at once, but the facts were before their eyes and they had no choice but to believe it.

"Qian Chongshan, I'm handing the people over to you. You only have one month. After one month, I need them to be able to form effective fighting power." Li Xiu said to Qian Chongshan.

"Don't worry, Chief, I will ensure the mission is accomplished." Qian Chongshan said excitedly.

After Li Xiu left the magic costume master compound, he went to the research institute again. The magic costumes of the 132 merman children also needed to be dealt with.

The cost of making more than 130 sets of S-level magic armor is not a small amount.

Li Xiu planned to send these fish-men children to the City of Light to guard the house. Naturally, he couldn't let their magic clothes be too bad. Moreover, time was tight and it would definitely be too late to make them now. He hoped that the research institute still had some in stock.

If he really can't collect enough, Li Xiu can only think of another way. He can get a batch of S-level magic equipment from the Chu family and use the future technology usage fees to offset it.

Professor Xu was not surprised to learn that Li Xiu had recruited more than a hundred children with S-level talents from Wangsheng Town. It was just that the research institute did not have that many S-level magic armors in stock, and some of the stock was reserved for active magic armor masters, so they could not all be used.

There are only about fifty sets of S-level magic armor available for Li Xiu to use.

If they were to make them now, they would only be able to produce a few sets in a month. After all, this was a research institute, not an assembly line, and they did not have that much time to make those ordinary S-level magic suits.

"More than fifty sets are enough. I'll think of a way to get the rest." Li Xiu planned to go directly to the Chu family to get some back.

With more than a hundred S-class magicians guarding the scene, plus the original staff of the City of Light, they should be able to handle the Trial Competition.

Sha Chu and Chu Jun left Changshengtian first and began the preliminary preparations and publicity work for the Trial Competition.

Of course, the most important thing is to develop the market, which is the basis for them to make money.

When the news that the City of Light was going to hold a trial contest spread, it immediately attracted the attention of trial contestants from all over the world.

Although similar competitions were held in various places after the Magic Spirit Competition was held in the City of Light, the effect was not as good as expected.

When people talk about trial-takers and demons, the first thing that comes to mind is the City of Light.

When many trial participants saw the news that the City of Light was holding a trial competition, and saw that the rewards for the competition included various magic rings, talent gems, skill rings and other items, they were stunned.

"The reward for the champion of the Trial Contest is actually a super-spiritual-level magic ring..." After seeing the final reward, many trial participants felt like they were going crazy.

Even if you don't win the championship, the top ten will still receive good rewards. Such a generous deal is simply unheard of.
