Chapter 94: Depressed Ximen Guan



"Old sir, what happened?" Li Xiu asked with concern.

Ximen Guan started cursing after hearing this: "Those who are developing magic suits nowadays are all a bunch of bastards. They don't work on the serious technology, but just make those fancy things. Generation after generation, they release a new magic suit almost every year, but what kind of stuff are they releasing? Is there any fucking technical content?"

"You said that the magic costume masters nowadays are just like fools. Those deceptive junk are like treasures in their eyes. They cry and shout to add them to their magic costumes, and some even buy a set for each generation. It's as if their brains have been burned out by money. They have money but don't know where to spend it, right?" Ximen Guan became angrier and angrier as he spoke.

Li Xiu smiled and said, "In fact, this matter cannot be blamed on those magic costume masters. They are just the operators of magic costumes and do not know how to make magic costumes. Now the magic costume manufacturers that can really produce new products are only in Space City and White Night City. The new products they research are basically not put on the market. Every time they are updated, they just modify the old models of magic costumes and add some new functions. The actual performance improvement is not great. But ordinary magic costume masters have no choice. If they want to become stronger, they can only buy these products. If you buy them, you can become a little stronger. If you don't buy them, you won't even have the chance to become stronger."

"Speaking of this makes me even more angry. I gave those idiots a modification plan so that their magic armor could truly improve its performance. But they said that my technology and plan were backward and that they were just a bunch of fools pretending to know everything... I modified their control system into the most scientific arrangement method, but they said that my arrangement method was unscientific and backward. Bullshit science, their arrangement method is the one that is fucking unscientific, okay? Their arrangement plan is not for the convenience of control, but to reduce the speed of control, so that magic armor masters with poor brains can also control the magic armor normally..." Ximen Guan became even angrier.

Li Xiu also knew what Ximen Guan said. The current control plan was indeed not the fastest one.

At the beginning, magic armor used a faster control solution. The reason for this reverse upgrade was to take care of some magic armor masters who did not have strong spiritual awareness and did not have the ability to multitask.

Not all magic armor masters think that the faster the reaction speed of the magic armor, the better. Some magic armor masters simply cannot accept such a fast reaction speed. If such a solution is used, many magic armor masters will not be able to control the magic armor to fight.

The magic equipment used by Li Xiu himself are all the most optimized solutions.

However, the Ghost Face Demon Suit also has this kind of reverse upgrade control plan, because this set of S-level magic suit was originally made by the No. 1 laboratory in Space City to make money. Only people like Zheng De can spend a large price to buy the Ghost Face Demon Suit.

Li Xiu didn't think it mattered. Even if it was this kind of reverse upgraded S-level magic suit, he could still handle it. It had no effect on him.

"Old official, don't be anxious. There's no need to be angry with them. By the way, why did you go online to modify other people's magic costumes?" Li Xiu asked.

"I just want to make some money. With my magic armor skills, I can just come up with transformation plans for those youngsters and make a lot of money. Who knew they were so ignorant..." Ximen Guan got angry again as he spoke.

"Then keep working hard." When Li Xiu heard that it was about money, he immediately chose to stand by and watch. He was also short of money and could not help much.

Li Xiu and A Fei went back to their rooms. When Sha Chu was about to leave, Ximen Guan stopped him.

"Girl, you are from Changshengtian. You have the connections and the means. Can you help me get a set of S-level magic suit? If not, A-level magic suit will also do!" Ximen Guan said with a smile on his face.

The situation is stronger than the people now. Although Ximen Guan used to be the father of magic costumes, he can't earn a penny now. He can only rely on Li Xiu for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

"What do you want the magic costume for?" Sha Chu asked Ximen Guan.

Sha Chu had already been controlled by Li Xiu using the Blood Seal Stone, and Ximen Guan was not afraid that she would escape and tell on him, so he told the truth: "I need a set of magic suits to be modified, and after the modification, I can use this magic suit to control the one I made before."

"Is this possible?" Sha Chu was a little surprised. She had never heard of this kind of magic equipment technology.

"Others can't do it, but who am I, Ximen Guan? I can definitely do it." Ximen Guan was proud for a while, and then asked, "Can you help me get a set of magic clothes?"

"Of course you can, but why don't you use Li Xiu's magic costume for the transformation?" Sha Chu asked puzzledly.

Ximen Guan was stunned when he heard this: "Li Xiu's magic suit? What kind of magic suit does Li Xiu have? Does he have any advanced magic suit? A-level or B-level? I can use B-level too..."

"Didn't you see it?" Sha Chu pointed at the ghost-faced demon costume that Li Xiu placed in Ximen Guan's room.

Because he had to take part in the trial in two days, Li Xiu did not take it away.

"Is this a magic suit? What level of magic suit?" Ximen Guan was stunned. He didn't expect that there was a set of magic suit in his room.

"You'll know if you take a look for yourself." Sha Chu said with a smile.

"I didn't expect that kid to actually have a magic suit." Ximen Guan walked over and opened the cloth bag containing the magic suit. When he saw the magic suit box with a black background and purple patterns, his eyes widened immediately: "This is... an S-level magic suit... That kid actually has an S-level magic suit... What is he doing with this thing... Can he use it?"

"Huh... why does this magic costume look familiar... No... I've seen this magic costume before... Isn't it the one in the video?" Ximen Guan's expression gradually became a little strange.

"Sha Chu, where did that kid Li Xiu get this magic costume? Whose magic costume is this?" Ximen Guan grabbed Sha Chu's arm excitedly.

"What do you think?" Sha Chu admired the changes in Ximen Guan's expression and felt that it was quite exciting.

"You mean, this magic costume belongs to that kid Li Xiu, and he...he is the magic costume master in the video?" Ximen Guan's face was indeed quite interesting, and he changed countless expressions in an instant.

From surprise to astonishment, from astonishment to disbelief, and then from disbelief to anger, even the best actor could not match Ximen Guan's expression changes so quickly and richly.

"Didn't he tell you a long time ago that he is also a magic armor master?" Sha Chu's words made Ximen Guan feel like he was constipated, and his face was a little swollen.

"How do I know he's such a magic armor master? I'm so screwed. Why would such a strong magic armor master go to a trial field and be a trial-taker? Is he mentally ill? Was he kicked in the head by a donkey when he was a child?" Ximen Guan said as he picked up the magic armor box and ran to Li Xiu's room angrily.

He didn't even knock on the door, but kicked it open, threw the Ghost Face Demon Suit in front of Li Xiu, and asked, "Is this your demon suit?"

"Yes, isn't this what I left with you this morning?" Li Xiu was a little confused. What happened to Ximen Guan?

Ximen Guan slammed the table excitedly and said, "But you didn't tell me that this is an S-level magic suit, and you didn't tell me that you are the magic suit master in the video?"

"You didn't ask me, and what difference does it make whether I tell you or not?" Li Xiu said.

"How can there be no difference? With your level of magic armor control, why are you going to the trial field to mess around? You are a natural magic armor master, a man born for magic armor. In this life, you should control the strongest magic armor in the world, which is the magic armor made by me, Ximen Guan. Except for the magic armor made by me, no other magic armor is worthy of you..." Ximen Guan became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Old sir, I can't use that magic suit of yours." Li Xiu's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Ximen Guan's head.

"Why not? With your skills, you can definitely control my magic suit. Only you can control it." Ximen Guan slammed the table and asked loudly.

"But you made me swear a solemn oath that I would never possess your magic suit and must find a suitable owner for it. I have even sworn a solemn oath, so I can't go back on my word, right? What if I fulfill the oath?" Li Xiu spread his hands helplessly.

Ximen Guan was stunned for a moment. Only then did he remember what had happened and he wished he could slap himself twice.

At that time, he was afraid that Li Xiu would embezzle his magic armor and he would have no way to use it. He was also afraid that the magic armor would be buried, so he made Li Xiu swear a poisonous oath.

But Ximen Guan never imagined that Li Xiu was not only a magic costume master, but also a magic costume master so outstanding that even Ximen Guan was amazed.

Now Ximen Guan was regretting to the core, hating himself for not asking Li Xiu a few more questions at that time.

But how could he have imagined that such a powerful magic armor master would change his career to become a trial-taker? Even a god couldn't guess this!

"That doesn't count. I just said that casually. It doesn't count. It doesn't count." Ximen Guan shook his head and waved his hands repeatedly.

"I always keep my words. Moreover, I have even sworn an oath. It is impossible for me to knowingly break the law." Li Xiu shook his head firmly.

No matter how good Ximen Guan’s magic suit is, he can’t use it.

What Li Xiu was interested in was Ximen Guan’s technology, the technology that allowed the magic suit to enter the trial field, rather than his magic suit itself.

No matter how Ximen Guan tried to persuade Li Xiu, he just wouldn't give in, which made Ximen Guan very depressed.

"Okay, if you really don't want to, I won't force you. Can you lend me this magic suit? After I modify it, I can use it to remotely control the magic suit I made..." Ximen Guan could only settle for the second best and borrow Li Xiu's magic suit first.

"Of course. Do you need any other materials? Write me a list." Li Xiu also wanted to see how good Ximen Guan's magic costume skills were.

Although he is the father of magic suit, it was so many years ago after all. Ximen Guan has not touched the magic suit for decades, and he doesn't know whether he can still do it.

"That's great. Don't worry, after I modify it, this magic suit will definitely be much stronger than before..." Ximen Guan quickly wrote a list and sent it to Li Xiu. He was also worried about these things.

Li Xiu was relieved to see that most of the items on the list were magic cores and some tools, but there was no requirement for S-level magic materials.

"All my magic cores are here, see if there are any that you can use." Li Xiu took out all his magic cores and showed them to Ximen Guan.

Ximen Guan picked and chose, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "You have an S-level magic core with special properties. Not bad, not bad. Now that we have the main materials, the other things are worthless. Just buy some. Originally, I wanted to make a compromise and use an ordinary S-level or even A-level magic core instead, but now I don't need it."

Ximen Guan took the blue magic core that seemed to contain lightning, rubbing it constantly and praising it endlessly.

Li Xiu took a closer look and recognized the magic core. It was one of the magic cores knocked down from the metal coffin, and should also be the highest-grade one. Li Xiu had suspected that it was an S-grade magic core, but without instruments to identify it, Li Xiu was not sure.

"As long as it's usable, you can take a few magic cores here. If you need anything else, go and exchange them yourself." Li Xiu said.

Ximen Guan was not polite either. He grabbed a handful of magic cores and left, saying as he walked away: "Don't worry, I will definitely transform your Ghost Face Magic Suit into the second best magic suit in the world."

"Why is it second in the world and not first?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.

"Of course the best in the world is the magic suit that I made myself. Wouldn't you consider it again? If you miss that magic suit, you will regret it for the rest of your life." Ximen Guan wanted to persuade Li Xiu again.

"A man cannot go back on his word, and I'm very afraid of death." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Forget it. I don't have to have you. Just don't regret it when you see someone else wearing my magic costume in the future." Ximen Guan walked away with a snort.

As Ximen Guan walked, he thought: "Are you afraid that no one will want my magic suit? If you don't want it, I'll find someone else. That God is pretty good too, and it meets my requirements better. If you don't want to wear it, I'll let him wear it. When God wears my magic suit and becomes the representative of the magic suit master of the new era, I'll see if you regret it. You've wasted such a good talent. You don't want to be a magic suit master, but you have to be a trialist. You're really sick."

Not long after Ximen Guan left, Li Xiu had just called the hotel owner over and asked him to fix the door, when Sha Chu came over and sat down directly on Li Xiu's bed.

The torn red skirt on her body was now intact. No one knew whether she had used some method to repair it or whether Qi herself had the ability to repair herself.

Sha Chu was leaning against the head of the bed. His muscular body and exaggerated curves made people couldn't help but have wild thoughts.

"Don't you know that it's very dangerous to pose like this in a man's room?" Li Xiu said as he admired the beautiful scene in front of him.

"It doesn't matter. My life is in your hands anyway. If you want to do something excessive to me, I can't refuse you, right?" Sha Chu changed to a more lazy posture and looked at Li Xiu with a smile.

"What do you want from me?" Li Xiu likes women, but he doesn't like the feeling of being on guard against the stab of a woman when he hugs her.

"I have to go back to Changshengtian next month. If I don't go back, not only will I die, but you will also be implicated." Sha Chu sat up straight and explained his problem in detail.

Members like Sha Chu have blood seal stones left in Changshengtian. Every once in a while, she needs to report back to Changshengtian. If she doesn't go back on time, the chief who holds the blood seal stone will use it to teach her a lesson.

If he didn't return within a month and didn't have any convincing reason, Shachu's blood seal stone would be destroyed and he would die.

"Now I'm the only one hit by two blood-sealed stones. I'm not a human being either. If I don't die at their hands, I'll die at your hands. It's so difficult to be a human being." Sha Chu sighed.

"Where is Changshengtian's headquarters?" Li Xiu asked.

"I really don't know. If I knew, I would have told you a long time ago. Every time I went to Changshengtian, I was carried in in a coffin. And every time I lay in the coffin, I would fall asleep very quickly. I really have no idea where I was sent to." Sha Chu said helplessly.

"If I want to join Changshengtian, is there any way to escape the control of the Blood Seal Stone?" Li Xiu stared at Sha Chu and asked.

"No, and I advise you not to take any risks. There are too many powerful people in Changshengtian, and you can't hide it." Sha Chu said.

"I understand about this. When are you leaving?" Li Xiu nodded.

"At the latest by the middle of next month." Sha Chu said after thinking for a while.

"What are you going to do about the old official's affairs?" Li Xiu asked again.

"I'll keep it a secret for now, but if I really have to give you all away, the rules won't allow me to survive given the mistakes I've made." Sha Chu said calmly.

"You can leave anytime you want, just take care of yourself." Li Xiu was flipping through the information and no longer paying attention to Er Shachu.

"I understand." Sha Chu stood up and left. When he pushed open the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Li Xiu and said, "If you really want to enter Changshengtian, I have a way to let you escape the control of the Blood Seal Stone, but this method requires you to trust me completely. If you ever think it through, you can come to me."

After saying that, Sha Chu pushed the door open and left, then closed the door behind him.

"I only believe in myself." Looking at the closed door, Li Xiu muttered to himself.

The next trial of the brave will be held in three days. Li Xiu has nothing to do and is calculating his property.

Li Xiu found that he was indeed short of money. Without gems, he couldn't upgrade the level of the demigod Setsuna. After all, the ability of the E-level demigod Setsuna was limited.

It's OK against low-level monsters and magic armorers, but it won't be very effective against monsters and magic armorers above level A.

"Where can I get some diamonds?" Li Xiu has been worried about money recently. He has never had such troubles before.

"Li Xiu, are you free? I want to ask you for help with something, and I will pay you." Just when Li Xiu was worrying about money, Chu Jun sent a message.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiu simply replied.

"I would like to ask you to help me identify a batch of gemstones. I will pay you twice the market price as the identification fee." Chu Jun replied.

Li Xiu thought, "I don't know much about gemstones, and I don't have any equipment, so how can I identify them for you?"

Just when I was thinking about how to reject Chu Jun, Chu Jun had already sent me the time and place.

Li Xiu called directly, but heard the other party's phone was turned off. He sent a message but no one replied.
