When "God" Decides To Start Over

"It seems the Red Sand City Lord didn't deceive me, and there's really something going on." Seeing the news, Li Xiu showed some interest in the Super Spirit Gemstone mentioned by the Red Sand City Lord.

However, if such a gemstone were to appear, the people from the City of Light would definitely not let it slide. If there was a fight for it, not only would they have to face those Demon Spirits, but also compete with the City of Light people. Even if they snatched it away, the City of Light might come knocking later; it's just a lot of trouble.

The key issue is Li Xiu doesn't even know what the Super Spirit Gemstone looks like; even if he saw it, he might not recognize it.

With so many stones in the gemstone mine, who knows which one is the Super Spirit Gemstone?

"Let's wait until the old guy finishes my Demon Armor first." To avoid causing trouble for the City of Light, creating a set of unseen Demon Armor to snatch it might be a plan.

Li Xiu was waiting for news from Sha Chu while frantically entering the Trial Ground with A Fei, Chu Jun, and Ye Yuzhen. When he finally improved the Primordial Embryo Quality to 1.4, news came from Sha Chu that Old Boss Qiu agreed to transfer the Golden Gate at a reasonable price, but he had one condition.

"He wants to invest in the Demon Spirit Tournament? That's interesting; I'll consider it," Li Xiu said thoughtfully after hearing the condition from Sha Chu.

"Old Boss Qiu's terms are excellent; he might even waive the Golden Gate fee, directly exchanging for shares, and also pay us 30 million space credits. In total, it equals 30% of the Demon Spirit Tournament shares. Where else can you find such favorable conditions? What's there to consider?" Sha Chu always thought the Demon Spirit Tournament was a losing venture, potentially causing major trouble. Having someone willing to take over was the best outcome.

"Our initial investment is roughly 30 million space credits, exchanging 30% of shares for breakeven. It's a rare opportunity even with a lantern. Furthermore, the money Chu Jun invested is approximately 30 million space credits, and didn't you also give him 30% of the shares?" Chu Sha said.

"How much to buy the Golden Gate without selling shares?" Li Xiu pondered aloud.

"You wouldn't really consider rejecting Old Boss Qiu, would you?" Chu Sha looked at Li Xiu in shock, unable to think of any reason not to sell.

A full investment only gets back 30% returns; it's hard to imagine what went through Old Boss Qiu's mind for him to make such a move. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"He's asking for 30% of the Demon Spirit Tournament shares, not just profits from this tournament, which means he could take 30% of the profits for every future tournament. 30 million and a Golden Gate aren't worth that price. Tell Old Boss Qiu that investment is possible, but only for 5% of the shares," Li Xiu said.

"Have you gone mad, or have I? For a tournament with only ten participants so far, you don't know if there'll even be a next one. They're offering 30 million plus a Trial Gate, and you only give them 5% of shares?" Sha Chu said, wide-eyed.

"I've already given a lot; if it weren't for recognizing Old Boss Qiu's good judgment as our first investor, even this 5% wouldn't be given." Li Xiu calmly replied, "Just relay what I said to Old Boss Qiu, and if he disagrees, no further discussions are needed; we'll forego the Golden Gate."

Sha Chu reluctantly conveyed Li Xiu's terms to Old Boss Qiu's team.

Upon proposing the 5% offer, their team shared the same incredulous expression as Sha Chu had upon hearing the terms from Li Xiu.

During the video conference, the team looked at Sha Chu like she was insane.

Sha Chu had no choice but to feign confidence, stubbornly refusing to budge on the 5% and even directly stating that if they couldn't accept it, there would be no need to continue negotiating.

The opposing team urgently requested to pause the video conference, needing to hold a meeting for further discussion.

They said it was for research, but they were likely consulting with Old Boss Qiu.

Sha Chu thought the deal was definitely off; no fool would invest 30 million in a tournament with only a dozen participants and exchange for only 5% of shares.

After all, it's 30 million space credits, not cheap ancient Yuet currency.

To everyone's surprise, after requesting another video conference, they agreed to the terms outright and smoothly concluded the negotiations, leaving only the final agreement signing.

Sha Chu felt like she was dreaming; it was surreal.

In the following two days, the team came to the City of Light to sign the agreement and delivered the first batch of funds worth millions.

According to the contract, the 30 million would be divided into three installments in the City of Light's account, with the first batch being one million.

Looking at so many zeros in the account, Sha Chu suddenly wondered if she had misunderstood something about the world or money before.

"Money is blown by the wind?" Sha Chu could only marvel at how wealthy people don't seem to consider money as money.

Seeing that the agreed meeting time with Old Dao was fast approaching, Li Xiu assumed he couldn't count on Ximen Guan. But just then, Ximen Guan finally called: "Your Demon Armor is assembled; you can pick it up and use it now."

Li Xiu hurried to the laboratory, where Ximen Guan was waiting behind his desk.

"Where's the Demon Armor?" Li Xiu frowned as he didn't see it and asked.
