"Li Xiu, I’ve got so good news for you. All that wood is Demon Spirit Wood, and not just any kind of Demon Spirit Wood. Based on my initial tests, it seems this Demon Spirit Wood grew from an S-Class Demon Spirit, and not an ordinary one at that. I still need to run detailed tests for specific data... These instrunts really are a hassle..." In the afternoon, while Li Xiu was refueling the Masked Emperor’s tank with Topaz, Xin Guan called him, his voice trembling with excitent.
"Oh, got it." Li Xiu didn’t seem particularly thrilled.
Demon Spirit Wood is great, but unfortunately, it can’t be exchanged for Gemstones. If he tried to trade the Demon Spirit Wood for Gemstones, Xin Guan would probably go nuts.
Of course, Li Xiu had no intention of exchanging the Demon Spirit Wood for Gemstones. He was, after all, quite invested in Xin Guan’s research. If his resources weren’t limited, he would have already increased funding for Xin Guan.
Now that Xin Guan had materials to work with, how could he sell them off?
"What kind of attitude is that? Don’t you realize what this ans?" As Xin Guan spoke, he seed to realize sothing, letting out an awkward laugh: "My bad, you probably really don’t know yet."
"Let put it this way, with this Demon Spirit Wood as a material, I can make at least three more sets of Demon Armor. And I’m talking about the kind of Demon Armor that I research, not those crappy ones... actually... they should be even better than the set I made before. After all, the materials I used back then were far inferior to this Demon Spirit Wood..." Xin Guan was so excited he could hardly string a sentence together.
"That’s great, now you won’t have to worry about materials anymore." Li Xiu laughed.
"Well, it’s not that simple. Demon Spirit Wood is just one of the key materials. To create a complete set of Demon Armor, we still need more materials, like high-quality S-Class Demon Cores..." Xin Guan was trying to hit up Li Xiu for materials again.
"Nope." Li Xiu cut off Xin Guan’s wishful thinking. If he had a high-quality S-Class Demon Core, he’d use it to feed the Demigod Shana. No way would he give it to Xin Guan to make Demon Armor.
Boosting Demigod Shana to S-Class as soon as possible was much more reliable than however long Xin Guan would take with his Demon Armor research.
Xin Guan also knew Li Xiu didn’t have any money. Managing to snag this batch of Demon Spirit Wood was already a windfall, and Xin Guan didn’t feel comfortable asking for additional budget increases.
To ensure Li Xiu would keep getting him materials in the future, Xin Guan unexpectedly dangled a little bait this ti.
"I’m planning to rebuild the basic components of your Demon Armor from scratch, using Demon Spirit Wood as the base material. This will dramatically enhance the Demon Armor’s performance, improving not just its defense but also significantly boosting the transmission speed of Demonic Light and reducing loss during transmission..."
"When can it be ready?" Li Xiu showed a bit of interest.
"I’ve already allocated manpower to work on your Demon Armor first, but remaking the base materials will still take so ti. Should be less than a month," mused Xin Guan.
"Hurry it up. Hope it can be done before the magic tournant starts." Li Xiu calculated the ti; it should be feasible.
"No problem." Xin Guan paused before his voice took on an odd tone: "As for that peculiar container, I still haven’t figured out exactly what it is, but from my initial tests, it seems quite formidable."
"What do you an by formidable?" Li Xiu didn’t quite understand Xin Guan’s choice of words.
"Every movent requires energy. Whether it was old thermal weapons or today’s Demon Armor, they all need an energy source to function. It might look like Demon Armor doesn’t need an energy source, but that’s not true. The energy source for Demon Armor, simply put, is the core Demon Core array. Once the energy from the Demon Core array is depleted, the Demon Armor becos useless."
"Of course, it’s not easy to completely exhaust a Demon Core’s energy. Plus, Demon Cores can automatically absorb free energy to recharge themselves. However, this recharging speed is limited; it’s sowhat akin to solar charging. During prolonged intense battles, the energy replenished by the Demon Core array can’t keep up with consumption."
"Tell sothing I don’t know." Being a Magic Armor Master, Li Xiu naturally knew these things.
"Upon my examination, that container seems like an enormous energy battery. The energy inside feels inexhaustible. If we can figure out how it works and apply it to Demon Armor, we might be able to create Demon Armor with a never-ending energy supply..." Xin Guan got excited again.
Li Xiu quietly listened to Xin Guan finish. Before he could get a word of praise in, Xin Guan hung up and returned to his research.
"That old guy, he’s a real Demon Armor fanatic." Li Xiu chuckled, placing his phone on the table, and poured the rest of the Topaz into the tank.
"Even the Topaz is all used up. How am I going to scrounge up so money? Even if I can’t co up with the cash to buy Gemstones, getting so Demon Cores to feed Demigod Shana and the Jedi Knight would do." Li Xiu looked at the Masked Emperor spinning circles and burning Topaz to absorb energy, feeling quite troubled.
