"'Extinguish Star' truly lives up to its reputation as a fourth-tier secret technique; the power increase is absolutely undeniable!"
After finishing, Li Xin couldn't help but exclaim.
The Extinguish Star secret technique is powerful, but its cultivation difficulty is no joke. With his current foundation, he can only cultivate the first layer.
"First, nurture the Extinction Star Ring!"
The Extinction Star Ring is a thirty-centimeter-long, almost golden-yellow ring, similar in appearance to Nezha's Universe Ring.
However, its ring is not perfectly smooth; both its outer and inner edges are incredibly sharp. If fully activated, it can easily cut through even a Territory Lord Rank expert's defenses.
He must inject his mental power into it, allowing his mental power to completely integrate throughout the Extinction Star Ring, to fully refine it for his own use.
The Extinction Star Ring is composed of 444 sharp sword pieces. For each layer of the "Extinguish Star" secret technique successfully cultivated, one can control 111 of these sword pieces. Only by fully mastering the "Extinguish Star" secret technique can one fully activate the Extinction Star Ring and unleash its maximum power.
"Ding, ding, ding!"
Just as Li Xin spent a day nurturing the Extinction Star Ring and was about to learn the first layer of the "Extinguish Star" secret technique, his communication device rang.
"Third Uncle, did something happen at home?"
Li Xin asked after answering the call.
He had modified his communication device so that only his family members could call him; all other calls would not connect.
"Li Xin, nothing's wrong at home. It's just that Commander Jia Yi from our China Military Region sent a very valuable gift, saying it was life water that could help regenerate severed limbs."
"But your dad refused it. He probably didn't tell you, so I secretly called to inform you."
Li Houzhong knew the importance of life water to his elder brother. His elder brother refused the gift to avoid troubling Li Xin, but as a younger brother, he had to think for his elder brother.
If his elder brother accepted this gift, his elder brother's severed arm could be restored!
"Third Uncle, I understand."
Li Xin said seriously. He had originally thought about buying a portion of life water for his father.
However, recently he had been busy with his second clone, then went to Mars, and after returning, he had been cultivating, which delayed this matter for some time.
Now that Jia Yi had sent it, he had no reason to refuse. At the same time, he also had something to discuss with Jia Yi, or rather, to cooperate with China.
"Commander Jia, I'm at my factory now. I wonder if you're free to come over. I've newly manufactured some good things here that I think would be very suitable for China's use."
After hanging up with his Third Uncle, Li Xin dialed Jia Yi's number.
"I'm free, of course I'm free."
Upon receiving Li Xin's call, Jia Yi immediately flew over.
"How much this factory has changed!"
Before even seeing Li Xin, Jia Yi was shocked to discover that Li Xin's factory, which was originally just a Deprecated factory, was now, at a glance, no longer a Deprecated factory at all.
This massive factory, entirely built with high-tech technology, had various intelligent robots working inside. It was even more breathtaking than the world's most advanced technology.
It was as if this factory was not built by people of Earth, but by aliens.
"Commander Jia, what I want to show you is not this factory. Come with me!"
Upon discovering Jia Yi's arrival, Li Xin led Jia Yi outside the city.
Although Jia Yi was puzzled, he followed Li Xin out of the city and into the wilderness.
Upon arriving, Jia Yi saw tens of thousands of monsters below the Lord Rank gathered there, along with five Lord Rank monsters.
These monsters were gathered together, fighting a group of robots. The five leading robots commanded over a thousand robots, engaging in a fierce battle with the monsters.
Jia Yi watched the scene before him, just like watching a science fiction movie about aliens fighting monsters.
Most importantly, these robots defeated the monsters in less than half an hour, and the five leading Lord Rank monsters were all focused-fired and killed by the robots.
The firepower equipment on these robots was much more powerful than what they currently had on Earth, which was why they could kill these monsters so easily.
"Commander Jia, these robots were developed by me and can be mass-produced. If they are deployed in the great war against monsters, they can reduce the casualties of warriors."
"What you see before you are Warlord-level and God of War-level robots. I have also developed Planetary Level robots comparable to Councilor-level ones. As long as China can afford the price, I can sell these robots to you."
"Most importantly, the robots' energy can be replaced by electricity, nuclear energy, or bio-energy. Bio-energy refers to the corpses of monsters."
Li Xin intended to sweep away all monsters globally. Soon, when his strength increased, killing all Emperor-level and King-level monsters would be no problem.
But if he did that, a beast tide would sweep across the entire world, and at that time, Li Xin would be stretched thin and unable to protect the entire China Base City.
The result would be that even if Li Xin succeeded, the China Base City would suffer heavy losses, with an astronomical number of casualties, which he did not want to see.
To reduce losses, Li Xin decided to sell the robots to the China Military Region. With enough robots, they would be able to defend China's vast territory.
As for why not give them away for free?
China's ancestors have already told us through their history that things given for free are never cherished, nor do they earn gratitude, and are even more likely to breed endless greed in the recipient.
"Your Excellency Li Xin, thank you. On behalf of all China, thank you!"
Jia Yi's heart trembled as he recalled countless warriors using their flesh and blood to block monsters during beast tides, and he remembered many of his comrades falling before him.
If they had such powerful robots back then, China would not have been reduced from a once great nation to a small country with only six base cities in terms of land area!
He could imagine that once China had enough robots, they could not only protect the base cities.
They could even launch a counterattack against the monsters, reclaim the lost territories, and allow China to restore its former glory!
So when he heard Li Xin say he would sell these robots to China, Jia Yi's eyes instantly welled up, and he bowed deeply to Li Xin!
It is said that soldiers are men of iron and blood, shedding blood but not tears.
But when they truly shed tears, it must be because something has touched the most sensitive part of their hearts!
"Commander Jia, I said I am a person of China. Although I will not fully join the China Military Region, when I have the ability, I will also contribute to the motherland within my capacity."
"I am selling robots to China, but I do not want Chinese currency. The list I have provided contains the items I need. We will exchange goods."
"This batch of robots before you is the first batch I produced, and I will give them to Commander Jia."
Li Xin looked with emotion at Jia Yi, who was weeping and bowing to him. From the Great Nirvana period, he had dedicated himself to fighting for China.
China's national flag could continue to fly proudly only because of the tireless efforts of people like Jia Yi.
He deeply admired these heroes. If not for these pioneers forging ahead and protecting the China Base City, he would not have been able to grow up safely.
In the past, these pioneers bore the burden for China.
Now, Li Xin has grown up, and he should also shoulder his responsibility as a person of China.
Let's start by helping China clear out the surrounding monsters and reclaim its territory!
"Thank you so much. However, I can't just take your robots for nothing. Your father didn't want this life water before, but you can't refuse it again."
Jia Yi was also a sensible person. After wiping away his tears, he handed the life water to Li Xin.
"Then, I wish us pleasant cooperation and prosperity for China!"
Li Xin did not stand on ceremony and accepted the life water.
"Pleasant cooperation and prosperity for China!"
Jia Yi joyfully had that batch of robots acknowledge him as their master, then took them back to the Kyoto Base City.
Immediately, Jia Yi convened a national high-level meeting. The meeting went smoothly, and Jia Yi's proposal was unanimously approved. The entire nation was mobilized to collect the items Li Xin needed and send them to Li Xin's factory.
Most of the items Li Xin needed were raw materials for manufacturing robots, and he also purchased dozens of kilometers of land around the factory to expand it.
However, Li Xin did not need to do these things personally; the intelligent life forms under him would naturally complete them for him.
