Phainon had considered recreating the mobile phones of his previous life, but they were too complicated. Without the necessary industrial foundation, making one in the short term was probably impossible.
So he summoned Di Tian to see whether soul guidance technology could do the job.

He examined it carefully and managed to work out a few things.
"Achieving similar craftsmanship and producing a prototype would take at least two months."
"Because this combines the power of Amphoreus with pattern-reflecting stone, soul tool technology can't copy it directly. We'd have to develop it from scratch."
"True mass production would also require setting standards."
"And mining and processing the raw materials would take time, too."
Phainon's face turned green.
By the time two months had passed, Aya would have hacked him to death.
He might as well buy his stock from Aya instead.
Rather than relying on soul guidance technology, it would be faster for Phainon to develop his own Message-Transmitting Slate.
Except by the time he finished developing it, Aya would probably have already come out with Message-Transmitting Slate 2.0.
Qian Renxue spoke up then.
"The Seven Treasure Chamber of Commerce has already bought up most of the pattern-reflecting stone on the market, which is the crucial material."
She looked at Ning Fengzhi.

"As expected of my teacher. You really do see the bigger picture."
Ning Fengzhi maintained a
