When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 805 - 319: Trial Taker Tournament (Part 3)

However, compared to their value, Li Xiu didn’t think the money mattered much.

"It’s just a bit of money, I can afford it," Li Xiu said calmly.

Han Minghui thought to herself, "If you have money, then you should pay me back for the banquet expenses you owe me."

After completing the registration, Li Xiu paid the money, took the Blood Seal Stone, and led the children to the Magic Armor Master’s courtyard.

The Blood Seal Stone was originally managed by Vice President Bai, but the Bai Family sided with the wrong faction during this rebellion, and Vice President Bai has already been imprisoned. All of his affairs are temporarily being taken over by Han Minghui, who made great contributions during the rebellion.

The fact that Li Xiu recruited over a hundred Fishman children quickly spread throughout Changsheng Tian, and many people discussed what Li Xiu intended to do with so many Fishman children.

When Li Xiu arrived at the Magic Armor Master’s courtyard with these Fishman children, even the Magic Armor Masters were somewhat puzzled about why he brought them there.

"Commander, what are you doing?" Captain Qian Zhongshan came up to Li Xiu, looking at the Fishman children with confusion.

"In the future, they will all be part of the Magic Armor Master squad. I’ll give you a month to train them properly," Li Xiu said to Qian Zhongshan.

"Commander..." Qian Zhongshan hesitated, seeming to have something he couldn’t say.

"Speak your mind," Li Xiu said casually.

Qian Zhongshan gritted his teeth and said, "Commander, you should know that our profession as Magic Armor Masters values quality over quantity. In a place like Changsheng Tian, Magic Armor Masters below S-Class are practically useless. Sending them on missions to guard the Trial Gate would be akin to sending them to their deaths..."

"How do you know they’re not S-Class Magic Armor Masters?" Li Xiu smiled and countered after Qian Zhongshan finished speaking.

Qian Zhongshan was slightly taken aback, then smirked bitterly, "Commander, stop joking. S-Class Magic Armor Master talent isn’t as common as cabbages by the roadside. How could there be so many? When Bai Wanli managed the Magic Armor group, he went to Wansheng Town each year to recruit children with Magic Armor Master talent and could only find one or two with S-Class talent at most..."

"Someone told me that they all possess S-Class talent. If you find it hard to believe, test them," Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Commander, you’re too trusting. You believe whatever people say, but it’s impossible for there to be so many Fishman children with S-Class talent. I’ll take them for testing first. Those with S-Class talent can stay; those with poor talent should be sent back," Qian Zhongshan said earnestly while organizing people to test the children’s Magic Armor Master talent.

Li Xiu just smiled without comment.

The other Magic Armor Masters administering the tests also thought Li Xiu was making quite a big joke.

But as they tested the children one by one, their expressions turned peculiar.

"S-Class talent... S-Class talent... still S-Class talent... This has got to be some kind of joke!" One by one, the Magic Armor Masters’ expressions became serious.

Seeing the testers’ expressions change, Qian Zhongshan quickly asked, "What’s going on?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"It seems the instruments malfunctioned... they’re all showing S-Class talent... all of them," the Magic Armor Master responsible for checking results said, somewhat unbelieving.

Qian Zhongshan was both shocked and pleased, rushing over to check the test results and his eyes widened; they were all S-Class talents, not a single A-Class amongst them.

In previous years, Wansheng Town produced one or two S-Class talents at best, but Li Xiu suddenly brought back so many, which was almost unbelievable. Yet the evidence was there, forcing them to believe it.

"Qian Zhongshan, I’m entrusting you with these individuals. You have just one month; after a month, I need them to be an effective fighting force." Li Xiu said to Qian Zhongshan.

"Rest assured, Commander, I will accomplish the mission," Qian Zhongshan said excitedly.

After leaving the Magic Armor Master’s courtyard, Li Xiu went to the research institute since the Demon Armor for these 132 Fishman children also needed to be addressed.

Creating over 130 sets of S-Class Demon Armor would require a substantial sum of money.

Li Xiu planned to have these Fishman children guard the City of Light, so their Demon Armor couldn’t be subpar, and time was limited. Custom manufacturing would be too slow, so he hoped the research institute had some inventory available.

If he really couldn’t gather enough, Li Xiu would have to find another way; he could get a batch of S-Class Demon Armor from the Chu Family and offset it with future technical usage fees.

Professor Xu didn’t seem too surprised when he found out Li Xiu had recruited over a hundred S-Class talent children from Wansheng Town. However, the research institute didn’t have that much S-Class Demon Armor in inventory, and some were reserved for active Magic Armor Masters, so not all could be used.

Li Xiu would have access to just over fifty sets of S-Class Demon Armor.

Building new ones wouldn’t yield many sets in a month, since their facility isn’t an assembly line and there isn’t enough time to produce ordinary S-Class Demon Armor.

"Fifty sets will suffice, I’ll figure out the rest," Li Xiu intended to obtain more from the Chu Family.

Over a hundred S-Class Magic Armor Masters stationed there, combined with the original staff in the City of Light, should be enough for the Trial Taker competition.

Sha Chu and Chu Jun had already left Changsheng Tian ahead of time to begin the preliminary preparations and publicity for the Trial Taker competition.

Of course, the main focus was to establish the market, as that’s the key to making money.

When the news spread that the City of Light was hosting the Trial Taker competition, it immediately attracted the attention of trial takers from everywhere.

Although similar competitions had been held elsewhere after the Magic Spirit competition in the City of Light, they didn’t have the expected success.

People still think of the City of Light when they mention trial takers and magic spirits.

When many trial takers saw the City of Light’s announcement about the Trial Taker competition, and learned that prizes included various Demon Spirit Rings, Talent Gemstones, Skill Rings, and more, they were stunned.

"The reward for the Trial Taker competition champion is a Super Spirit level Demon Spirit Ring..." Seeing the ultimate prize, many trial takers felt ecstatic.

Even if they don’t win the championship, the top ten receive considerable rewards—a scale unheard of before.
