When "God" Decides To Start Over

"Can you tell me what this pile of junk is?" Ximen Guan pointed at the damaged Speed Light One on the table.

"Uh, it got a little damaged during the battle," Li Xiu said, spreading his hands.

"A little damaged?" Ximen Guan's eye twitched as he angrily said, "You call this a little damaged? It's completely scrapped, alright? I worked so hard to create that Demon Armor for you, and what did you do? You didn't cherish it at all. You wore it out once, and now it's scrapped. Really impressive."

Ximen Guan took a deep breath and continued, "I can understand the Demon Armor being damaged. Maybe the Demon Spirit was too strong and broke your Demon Armor, which isn't your fault. But can you tell me how you managed to clog all the light energy transmission in the Demon Armor? I've never seen such a thing in my life. If the materials of the Demon Armor can't transmit Demonic Light, then it's just a pile of useless trash. I'm really impressed. Getting the Demon Armor into such a state must have been hard work for you, not easy at all."

"I ask you, did you plan this in advance, with Speed Light One... Speed Light One... The scrapping speed is truly like the speed of light. No wonder you named it that..." Ximen Guan was so angry he was about to explode.

The Demon Armor was rushed out overnight and wasn't even complete yet. Strictly speaking, it was still a semi-finished product, and Li Xiu had managed to scrap it.

"It was definitely an accident." Li Xiu was somewhat at fault and couldn't really argue with Ximen Guan.

If it wasn't for his desire to know the extent of the Super Spirit's power by forcibly overloading and clashing with it, Speed Light One wouldn't have been damaged.

If he hadn't overloaded it, with the performance of Speed Light One, he could have used skill to defeat that Super Spirit, although it would have been a bit more troublesome.

"It's really difficult for you to turn an accident into something like this." Ximen Guan sighed, "Forget it, it's just trash anyway. A scrapped one is a scrapped one. It's just a pity for the materials with Demon Spirit Wood."

"Old Ximen, look, my Demon Armor is broken. Could you help me make another set?" Li Xiu said gently.

"Make? With what? The materials are destroyed, the Demon Core is cracked, what can I use to make another set for you?" Ximen Guan rolled his eyes.

"There's still a lot of Demon Spirit Wood left, and as for the Demon Core, don't worry, I have that." Li Xiu said.

"How can such precious materials as Demon Spirit Wood be wasted like this? Although you're the City Lord, and everything belongs to you, you can't be so tyrannical, wasting such good materials on trash. This is a crime. I, Ximen Guan, have professional ethics. I absolutely cannot agree to do such a wasteful thing; it would bring down lightning on me." Ximen Guan immediately refused.

"Old Ximen, don't rush. Just look at this." Li Xiu took out the Super Spirit Gemstone and Demon Core, placing them in front of Ximen Guan.

"What's there to look at? Even if you talk until the sky breaks today, I don't have the time..." Ximen Guan said, but as his eyes fell on the Demon Core in Li Xiu's hand, he immediately forgot what he was going to say.

"What's with this Demon Core? It seems a bit off. And what is this crystal? It feels like it contains a very strong Light Energy..." Ximen Guan snatched the gemstone from Li Xiu's hand and then pushed the door open and rushed out of the office, heading to the lab to use the instruments for testing.

It wasn't long before Ximen Guan rushed back, his expression completely different from the gloomy face he had earlier, now filled with a smile. "Ahem, City Lord, may I ask where you got this Demon Core and that gemstone?"

"Are you going to make my Demon Armor or not?" Li Xiu sat in Ximen Guan's office chair, leisurely sipping tea, speaking calmly.

"Make it, of course, how could we not? You are the City Lord, everything here belongs to you. Who else would I make it for if not you?" Ximen Guan said with a face full of smiles.

"But you can't say that. Although I'm the City Lord, I'm not a tyrant, and I can't have you do something that violates professional ethics." Li Xiu said, taking a sip of tea.

"How could it be? City Lord, you're such a selfless person, I haven't seen another like you in my life. If anyone dares say you're a tyrant, I'd be the first to shut them up. My professional ethics are to prioritize the needs of the City Lord above all." Ximen Guan said earnestly with righteous conviction.

"Wouldn't it be too wasteful to use such good materials like Demon Spirit Wood to make trashy Demon Armor? Maybe we should forget about it." Li Xiu pretended to get up.

"It's not wasteful at all, not wasteful, how could it be? You are the ruler of the city, no material is too much for you..." Ximen Guan quickly pressed Li Xiu's shoulder, urging him to sit down again.

"Wouldn't it be too difficult for you?"

"Not at all, not difficult at all."

"How long will it take to make my Demon Armor?"

"Two months." Ximen Guan saw Li Xiu remain silent, grit his teeth, and said, "A month and a half... a month... no less than that... even working day and night, it would take a month, otherwise there's not enough time."

"Then let's go with a month." Li Xiu recounted the occurrence at the Golden Gate.

"Damn, I finally understand why Longevity Heaven wasn't concerned with Demon Armor and treated me that way. There's actually something like the Super Spirit. They must have already mastered the Super Spirit technology back then. According to you, ordinary S-Class Magic Armor is nothing in front of the Super Spirit, no wonder." Ximen Guan said through clenched teeth after listening, "No wonder Speed Light One is damaged like that. It's a pity I didn't get to see that Super Spirit in person. If I could capture one for experiments, that'd be great."
