Three Tokens!

Standing at the entrance was a middle-aged man dressed in white official robes. His posture was as straight as a pine, though his temples had already been dyed white.

The gaze beneath his white brows was as sharp as a falcon's, as if it could pierce straight through a person's heart.

The four guards behind him were clad in sturdy armor and armed with sharp blades, their hands resting on their hilts, their presence as imposing as a rainbow.

Chu Men steadied himself and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

The middle-aged man cupped his hands in a salute, his voice resonant: "Minister of Military Affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire, Wu Potian!"

Chu Men shielded Xiao Wu behind him and frowned. "Lord Wu, I wonder what brings you to my humble shop?"

"I am here to procure a batch of Lightning Soul-Guided Devices for the imperial legions."

Wu Potian got straight to the point. A flash of exhaustion crossed his eyes before they turned sharp once more.

"The state of the nation is unstable; the Empire's knights must be armed!"

Chu Men's instinct was to refuse, but he still ushered them into the shop.

"Given the scale of the imperial military, a small shop like mine could never keep up with such supply demands."

Repairing Soul-Guided Devices in batches is one thing, but mass-producing them? Does he think they're just cabbages at a blacksmith's shop? Chu Men mused to himself.

Wu Potian took a sip of hot tea, sighed, and couldn't help but reveal a bitter expression.

"Within the imperial legions, the number of Spirit Masters is, after all, in the minority. I have no choice but to exhaust every means to enhance their combat effectiveness."

He then shifted the tone of the conversation. "I heard about your lecture on Soul-Guided Devices this morning. I wonder how these Lightning Soul-Guided Devices are sold? Rest assured, I will personally speak with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan regarding the matter."

Chu Men pondered for a moment before speaking slowly:

"You may not be aware, but repairing these devices and crafting them from scratch are two entirely different matters. It is difficult to supply the army in batches; at most, I could equip a single squad. It would be little more than better than nothing."

Wu Potian nodded. He knew that batch production was no easy feat; it was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

However, having come here in person, he could not return empty-handed!

He took out a silver-white token and handed it to Chu Men:

"Mr. Chu, this is the token of an imperial military procurement contractor. With it, you can receive priority access to the Empire's mines, workshops, and transport fleets, as well as the best tax incentives."

The sincerity was truly immense!

Chu Men took the token; it felt cold to the touch. The characters "Heaven Dou" were engraved on it, surrounded by seven silver stars.

In a sense, this was far more practical than the tokens from Spirit Hall or the Crown Prince's Mansion!

After all, the former were favors, while this was business!

"Rest assured, Lord Wu. I accept this order to equip one squad!"

After seeing Wu Potian off, Chu Men placed the three tokens side by side on the table.

The Spirit Hall Deacon Token, the Crown Prince's Mansion token, and now, a token from the imperial military.

Chu Men's fingertips brushed across the three tokens, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes!

The black token from Spirit Hall represented the largest network of Spirit Masters on the entire continent.

The golden token from the Crown Prince's Mansion signified the political backing of the Crown Prince.

And the silver token Wu Potian had just delivered stood behind the entire industrial resource and transport artery of the Heaven Dou Empire.

With these three stepping stones, Chu Men could say he was fully prepared!

Now, it was time to let these natives of another world witness what true industrialized productivity looked like!

[Three tokens! Tsk tsk, the streamer is really trying to play both sides of the field!]

[You can't deny it, these tokens each have their own unique value...]

[Emperor Chu Men, may your reign last ten thousand years, unifying the world!]

[Soul Guidance Empire! Soul Guidance Empire!]

Xiao Wu hopped out from the inner room, eyeing the tokens on the table with curiosity, reaching out to poke them.

Her cute little face was absolutely adorable!

Seeing this, Chu Men let out a sudden laugh.

The grand ambitions symbolized by the tokens were likely less interesting to the little girl than a carrot on a cutting board.

If anything, it was he, Chu Men, who seemed to have become a bit too obsessed.

Chu Men reached out and pinched Xiao Wu's cheek, then pulled a box out from his Soul-Guided Device.

It was identical to the box that had held her snacks earlier.

Xiao Wu let out a "wow" and pounced on it, her two little legs dangling in mid-air as she kicked them in excitement.

"This girl."

For the rest of the afternoon, Chu Men discussed technical issues with the engineers in the livestream.

Xiao Wu sat to the side, wearing a makeshift pink hard hat, looking like a little supervisor.

Occasionally she would hand over a tool, but most of the time she spent eating snacks and drinking milk tea, looking perfectly content.

On Chu Men's side, with the technical support of so many professionals, originally complex problems became easy to solve.

Especially when Chu Men was optimizing Liu Erlong's Fire Dragon Battle Armor, the technical masters in the livestream chat swarmed in, each showing off their unique skills!

They pooled their wisdom and efforts, their enthusiasm soaring, and their sense of participation was off the charts!

Occasionally, they could even guide Xiao Wu. With such a cute girl as a student, the audience's desire to play the teacher completely exploded.

They broke down various professional theories and chewed them over, eager to teach Xiao Wu as if she were their own daughter!

In the audience's inherent perception, Xiao Wu, who possessed "innate full soul power," was a genius to begin with.

A natural-born learner!

As for the streamer, he was just a heartless mouthpiece. Looking at his underage appearance, what the hell did he know about mechanical engineering or aesthetic design?

Admiration was admiration, and pride was pride; people whose minds were filled with nothing but technology were just that straightforward!

After debugging the flamethrower and flight acceleration functions, and following the strong and unanimous suggestion of the audience, Chu Men replaced the "Dragon" character on the chest of the armor with a lifelike dragon head pattern!

[Now that's what you call imposing!]

[I wonder if Sister Erlong will be moved when she sees the armor I designed for her with my own hands? Hehe!]

[Those toy workshops, hurry up and get to work! This is a massive fortune falling from the sky; are you really too incompetent to copy it?]

Night fell.

Under the light of the bright illumination Soul-Guided Device, the final polishing was completed.

The final product of the Fire Dragon Battle Armor came into everyone's view!

The crimson Fire Dragon Battle Armor lay quietly on the workbench.

Every dragon scale was polished to a shine, and every line represented the optimal structural stress distribution.

From the helmet to the battle boots, the streamlined design perfectly conformed to the curves of the human body!

The specially crafted flight wings, when unfolded, resembled the wings of a fire dragon and could be freely attached to the armor.

He had wanted to pair it with a halberd, but only found a sword blank in the warehouse, which actually fit the Western fantasy style quite well.

"Wow! What a cool armor!"

When Xiao Wu saw the gleaming armor, she took advantage of Chu Men turning his head and dove right into it.

As a result, the armor was too big, and she was completely swallowed inside. After standing up, she looked utterly ridiculous.

She wobbled as she walked, looking like a clumsy little penguin.

"Creepy uncle, this armor is so heavy!"

Xiao Wu complained while taking short, quick steps, crashing around the room.

[Hahahaha, my Big Sister Xiao Wu is still that same boss, she hasn't changed a bit!]

[It's a pity this armor can't automatically adjust its size. I remember that in the original work, the Eight Treasures Wish-Fulfilling Soft Armor could do that. Streamer, remember to find time to learn from that!]

[Liu Erlong: Xiao Wu, you're still "too small," you can't handle such a large armor!]

Chu Men looked at Xiao Wu, who had been quiet all day, suddenly becoming so lively, and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

It took a great deal of effort to pull Xiao Wu out of the armor.

"Stop messing around, this is for your Sister Erlong."

Chu Men flicked Xiao Wu's little nose.

"The rain outside has finally stopped. Perfect, let's go check out the night market!"

These words were not only for Xiao Wu to hear, but also for the audience in the livestream, and of course, including Lin Xiaoyu, who had been watching the stream the whole time.

Xiao Wu cheered happily, grabbed Chu Men's hand, and started running outside.

At the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's female dormitory.

"Yanzi, Lingling, are you two heading out?"

"We're going to the night market! We'll bring you back something delicious, bye~"
