Upgrading equipment

HR Alliance store:

"Welcome to the HR Alliance. How may I help you?"

After Li Xin drove up to the HR Alliance, a professionally dressed woman serving at the entrance warmly approached and opened his car door.

"Have someone tally up this carload of monster materials and some weapons and equipment, and tell me what they're worth. If the price is right, I'll sell all of it to you."

He was rather short on money now, so he still wanted to sell his materials to the HR Alliance. After all, they offered the highest purchase prices.

"Certainly, sir. Let me take you to a private room to rest first. We'll send someone to inventory your goods as quickly as possible."

At Li Xin's words, the attendant's smile grew even brighter, and she promptly led him to a private room to attend to his needs.

Li Xin accepted without ceremony. After spending so long in the Wilderness, he reeked of blood and wanted a nice hot bath.

Li Xin had brought so many materials, all of them from Beast General Level monsters, that even the HR Alliance manager at No. 66 Supply Base was alerted.

Word spread from one person to ten, then from ten to a hundred. With the Black Rose Squad making no effort to conceal anything either, news about Li Xin soon got out.

Li Xin was soaking comfortably in the bath, completely unaware that everyone at No. 66 Supply Base was talking about him.

The Li Family, Tianjin District:

Since early that morning, the butler, Hu Yanfeng, had called Li Xin's communicator at regular intervals, but none of his calls had connected, even by noon.

Ring, ring, ring!

"Hello?"

This time, Hu Yanfeng finally got through, and Li Xin's voice came from the communicator.

"You little brat! You finally decided to answer! Where are you now?"

Before Hu Yanfeng could speak, Li Houming snatched the communicator from him, no longer caring to maintain his usual calm tone.

"Dad, I'm at No. 66 Supply Base. I've awakened my spiritual force, and my strength has reached Advanced General-Level, so you don't need to worry about my safety."

Hearing his father roar, Li Xin instinctively held the communicator far away.

It wasn't that he didn't want to say his strength had already reached War God Level, but going from an elementary warrior to a War God in just a few days was far too shocking. He had no intention of telling even his father.

"What? You've awakened your spiritual force? And your strength has reached Advanced General-Level?"

Li Houming had prepared plenty to say, but now he couldn't get a single word out.

What was he supposed to say?

Tell Li Xin to come home and stop going into the Wilderness alone, and at least spend some time gaining experience with an established squad?

What a joke. As long as an Advanced General-Level Psychic didn't encounter a flying lord-level monster in the Wilderness, even getting himself killed would be difficult!

"But you should tell everyone in the family to watch out for the Liu Family. I ran into Liu Wuwu in the Wilderness, and while I was at it, I killed everyone in his Tiger Shark Squad..."

Worried that the Liu Family might retaliate, Li Xin then told his father what had happened.

"Phew. Don't worry. I'll tell everyone at home to be careful. You need to be careful too."

Hearing his son's words, Li Houming froze for a few seconds. Only after taking several deep breaths did he steady his voice.

"Our ancestors have blessed us! A true dragon has risen from our Li Family!"

After ending the call with Li Xin, Li Houming finally stopped suppressing his excitement and let it out in a jubilant shout.

With the talent Li Xin had displayed, becoming a War God was a certainty. He even had an excellent chance of becoming an existence Beyond War God.

As long as nothing unexpected happened, the Li Family was certain to become a major family!

The Liu Family, Tianjin City:

"What? You're saying the Black Bull Squad still hasn't sent word back, and Li Xin has already returned safely to No. 66 Supply Base?"

Hearing his subordinate's report, Liu Wutian repeated the question in disbelief.

"Yes. Li Xin drove back with the Black Rose Squad. I saw it with my own eyes, so there's no mistake. He's currently selling monster materials at the HR Alliance store."

His subordinate continued speaking.

"The Black Rose Squad came back alive too?"

At that, Liu Wutian fell silent. The Tiger Shark Squad, which his younger brother Liu Wuwu belonged to, had set out this time specifically to kill the Black Rose Squad.

Now that the Black Rose Squad had returned alive, he knew his Tiger Shark Squad's plan had failed. The consequences sent a chill through his heart!

"No, I have to tell my second and fourth brothers about this."

Realizing something was wrong, Liu Wuwu immediately ended the call and went to discuss countermeasures with his other two younger brothers.

"Mr. Li Xin, we've finished tallying up your carload of monster materials, along with the weapons and equipment. The total comes to six hundred million in Huaxia currency."

"If you're satisfied with that price, we'll transfer the funds immediately."

Dong Shishuang, the young, beautiful HR Alliance manager at No. 66 Supply Base, personally came to Li Xin's private room to report the results.

"Not bad. Let's go with that price!"

After selling everything, Li Xin drove back to the Tianjin District.

"Xin, you're finally back! Don't leave without saying goodbye again, understand?"

The moment Li Xin arrived home, he saw Li Meifang waiting at the entrance. As soon as he returned, his mother gave him a scolding.

"Mom, I understand. Next time I go out, I'll let you know."

Li Xin knew he had worried his family by doing this, but he had no choice. He had no intention of letting even his family know about the Eternal Divine Furnace.

"As long as you're back. As long as you're back!"

Hearing the commotion outside, Li Houming came out as well. When he saw the several battle swords floating behind Li Xin, he couldn't hide his smile.

"The world's most powerful supercomputer, and it only costs fifty million in Huaxia currency. I'll buy it."

"A9-grade Blood Shadow flying swords, capable of injuring advanced lord-level monsters. Ten million each. I'll buy ten."

"Blood Shadow Battle Sword No. 2 Series, model A8-price: two hundred million in Huaxia currency. I'll buy it."

"Basic Principles of Firearms Manufacturing, Principles of Divine Fire Gatling Manufacturing, Photoelectric Conversion Principle, Nuclear Fusion Principle... I'll buy them!"

After returning home and sharing a meal with his parents, Li Xin began placing orders on Limit Home. He bought not only weapons and equipment, but also a wealth of scientific knowledge.

The Extreme Martial Hall had particularly extensive stores of principles and reference materials concerning weapons research, and their prices weren't high. After all, these could be copied, and the Extreme Martial Hall deliberately encouraged the spread of this knowledge to foster more scientists.

The next day, he rented a huge factory that had gone out of business on the outskirts of the Tianjin District and moved his newly purchased supercomputer into it.

The supercomputer was enormous and unsuitable for keeping at home. Besides, he would be using it to improve his Eternal Divine Brain and conduct experiments, so naturally he needed somewhere spacious.

Next, he began purchasing all kinds of equipment for the factory, setting up his own Science Laboratory.

"I never imagined that the youngster who turned down the Special Training Contract would become a Psychic with Advanced General-Level strength in less than a month. No, I have to go confirm this myself."

A few days later, news about Li Xin reached Ming Chengjun, the director of the Extreme Martial Hall's headquarters.
