The next morning, the red sun was shining brightly.
Leading the delegation of the Grand Desolate War Institution, Yuan Manqiu strode into the hall with her head held high.
Faced with the pressure of war all year round, the military magical equipment technology of the Heaven's Origin Sector was much more advanced than that of the civil magical equipment.
In the blue sky, countless supersonic flying swords were shuttling back and forth, forming an impenetrable net of swords in which all kinds of patterns were changing.
At first glance, it looked splendid. But if a flying demon beast were to break in, it would definitely be trapped in a hell of swords, which would raise a storm of blood.
On the ground, there were all kinds of beast puppets, crystal tanks, and even self-moving war fortresses. They formed an iron army and crushed everything in their way. The entire tower was shaking in fear.
Deafening explosions, collisions of spiritual tides, collisions of sabers and swords … All kinds of noises were echoing in the air.
Li Yao held his breath and watched attentively without blinking his eyes.
It was the first time that he had ever participated in such a large-scale and high-level exposition. He was like a frog at the bottom of a well who had just jumped out and seen the vastness of the world for the first time. He felt dizzy.
The Grand Desolate War Institution had rented a booth of more than a thousand square meters, which was the size of four baseball fields. Li Yao thought that the scale of the booth was unprecedented.
But now that he looked at it, he realized that it was merely below average. Compared to some of the conglomerates, it was nothing.
Many conglomerates had rented booths of more than ten thousand square meters to display hundreds, if not thousands, of magical equipment.
The booth of Deep Sea University was more than thirty thousand square meters, occupying three floors. It was no longer a booth, but an independent exhibition area where more than five thousand magical equipment were displayed. It was an out-and-out kingdom of magical equipment.
When they walked past the booth of Deep Sea University, everybody in the delegation of the Grand Desolate War Institution suddenly became solemn.
They looked at each other and saw the deepest desire in each other's eyes.
Although they didn't say it out loud, they were looking forward to the day when they could overthrow Deep Sea University and replace it, just like Li Yao.
The Tiger King Battlesuit, as the most important magical equipment promoted by Deep Sea University this year, was placed in the most eye-catching position in front of the booth, on a man-made rock. It looked down at everybody like a ferocious tiger.
The domineering aura made Li Yao's fingers twitch uncontrollably. He almost clenched his fists and punched the Tiger King Battlesuit's face.
"Let's go. If you want to compete, there will be plenty of opportunities later." Yuan Manqiu patted his shoulder.
Li Yao nodded. The corners of his mouth curled up, and his eyelids drooped as he continued to walk forward.
According to the promotion plan, they were not in a hurry to start the exhibition. Instead, they walked around the venue and visited the competitors' booths.
The colorful, dazzling high-end Crystal Suit certainly amazed them, but the mass-produced Crystal Suit launched by the major forces made them feel the intensity of the competition.
"How is it?"
It took them more than two hours to walk around. Seeing that everyone's expression was somewhat dignified, Yuan Manqiu asked Li Yao, "Just now, we've seen the latest Crystal Suit refined by the cultivation world. What do you think?"
"Deep Sea University, Star Nebula University, Gold Armor Clan, Ultimate Steel Sect … These traditional forces have been immersed in the art of Crystal Suit for hundreds of years. The high-end Crystal Suit refined by them is indeed delicate and marvelous. They can be called ultimate treasures. I'm afraid that it will be difficult for us to catch up with them in a short time."
Li Yao pondered for a long time and said slowly, "However, the mass-produced Crystal Suit is a different story. I've studied several mainstream mass-produced Crystal Suit carefully just now. Judging from the appearance and the general structure, they are not very different from the high-end Crystal Suit refined by the major forces before. The only difference is that the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures have been replaced by ordinary materials, or the relevant components have simply been removed.
"To put it bluntly, these sects have not designed a new Crystal Suit at all. They have only come up with a 'jerry-rigged version' of a high-end Crystal Suit.
"It's not surprising. It's been less than a year since the news that the military is going to purchase a standard Crystal Suit was spread out. How can they design and refine a Crystal Suit with a brand-new structure in such a short time? We can only use the original design, tinker with it, and try our luck. "
"It seems that only the Tiger King, Mournful Mist, and Sword Torrent Crystal Suit are somewhat sincere.
"However, in my opinion, they are still not as good as the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit.
"Because they are more or less carrying the design concepts of high-end Crystal Suit. They haven't completely lowered themselves. They don't know what the most critical parts of the mass-produced Crystal Suit are, either.
"Our Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, on the other hand, has been designed to be cheap, mass-produced, and durable since the very beginning.
"When it comes to the three points, nobody in the entire Tian Yuan Realm is more experienced than the refiners of the Grand Desolate War Institution.
"All in all, if you ask me, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit is the only real mass-produced Crystal Suit.
"The rest of the Crystal Suit, including the Tiger King Battlesuit, are just the skin of a mass-produced product.
"No matter how excellent their performance is on paper, there are bound to be all kinds of flaws and even defects in a real battle.
"What I'm going to do is to find out all the flaws and beat them up!"
His words made all the refiners of the grassroots faction feel invigorated.
"Well said!"
Yuan Manqiu waved her hands and said in high spirits, "Let's go.
"Let's go. Let these elite refiners open their eyes and see what a real MP crystal suit model is!"
The group of people chatted and laughed as they strode forward.
While they were inquiring about their competitors, they also became the focus of many Cultivators.
The news that the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit had been successfully refined hadn't been announced to the public yet. Besides, the representatives of the Grand Desolate War Institution were still wandering in the hall more than half a day after the exhibition started.
This caused many cultivators to misunderstand one after another. They thought that they were not here to participate in the exhibition but to purchase magical equipment.
"I don't think Project Mystic Skeleton of the Grand Desolate War Institution has succeeded. I don't see their booth."
"That's right. They suffered a major failure last year. How could they succeed so easily? I think they've given up. "
"In my opinion, they should've given up. Refining is not the Grand Desolate War Institution's specialty, not to mention a piece of super magical equipment as precise and complicated as the Crystal Suit. If they really want to use it, they should've just bought a batch of Crystal Suit made by other people. Wouldn't it be safer and less troublesome? "
The Military Magical Equipment Exposition attracted a lot of reporters, especially those from Sanbao Magazine and 'World of Crystal Suit'. They had been waiting in front of the booths of the major organizations since early in the morning.
The large troop of the Grand Desolate War Institution roamed around the exhibition, attracting the attention of many reporters, too.
The reporters had a keener nose for news than other people. They had learned from various sources that the Grand Desolate War Institution was going to participate in the exhibition this year, and it was said that it would be quite a big event.
However, they hadn't found the booth of the Grand Desolate War Institution after searching for a while.
At this moment, when he saw the refiners of the Grand Desolate War Institution strolling around leisurely with their hands behind their backs with mysterious smiles on their faces, as if they had a card up their sleeve, he couldn't help but feel curious.
"Director Yuan, nice to meet you. I'm Gao Yongjie, a reporter from 'World of Crystal Suit'. I'm told that the Grand Desolate War Institution is going to participate in the Magical Equipment Exposition this year, too. But I couldn't find your booth after searching for a long time. What's going on? Is the Grand Desolate War Institution really going to participate in the exhibition? What kind of magical equipment are you going to show? Is it the legendary … cheapest Crystal Suit in the entire Federation?
"Hello, Director Yuan. I am Bian Yun, a reporter for 'Secrets of the World of Cultivators'. Thirty years ago, you carried the title of 'Deep Sea Goddess', but because you did not agree with your mentor's philosophy, you parted ways and went to the Grand Desolate Plateau. You have been gone for thirty years. Now that you have returned to Deep Sea City, do you have any intention of competing with Deep Sea University?"
"Excuse me. You must be Mr. Li Yao. You are now a well-known newcomer in the circle of refiners. A few months ago, the Demon Beast Detector caused quite a stir. I heard that you once declared that you would challenge the Refining Department of Deep Sea University. May I ask, are you confident that the magical equipment of the Grand Desolate War Institution will win against the magical equipment of the same type from Deep Sea University in the Magical Equipment Exposition? "
Many reporters gathered around them.
It was exactly what Yuan Manqiu and Li Yao were hoping to achieve.
They were all dressed in the same uniform and circled around in circles. Wasn't this an invisible advertisement?
Yuan Manqiu and Li Yao looked at each other and smiled.
"Dear friends of the press, the news you've received is true. The Grand Desolate War Institution is indeed here as an exhibitor, not a pure buyer of magical equipment. What we are going to exhibit is the cheapest Crystal Suit in the entire Federation, as you've said!
"However, it's not as simple as being cheap. I'm afraid its performance will also shock everyone!"
"If you're interested, please follow us. Let's unveil the mysteries of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit together!"
Yuan Manqiu's words raised a small commotion in the hall.
They didn't expect that the cheapest Crystal Suit in the entire Federation would be successfully refined. No matter what its performance was, they had to take a look at it.
The reporters hurriedly followed the delegation of the Grand Desolate War Institution and walked forward.
The grand procession quickly attracted the attention of many visitors.
The benefits of keeping a low profile in the beginning were obvious.
Except for the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, all the other MP Crystal Suit models couldn't wait to hold a press conference as soon as they were produced. The performance parameters and the actual combat scenes were already known to everybody. They lost their freshness and even caused aesthetic fatigue.
The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was the only one that had been hiding in the darkness. Because of the big explosion last year, it had some mysterious effects.
Not just the reporters, most people in the circle of Cultivators were also curious about the Crystal Suit which was said to cost only a little more than a hundred million.
Therefore, the team snowballed and soon reached the northwest corner of the fifth floor of the Tower of Empyrean.
There was a booth there that had been covered in a gray fog since three days ago. A glittering countdown was popping up in the gray fog. The countdown was changing and shrinking every second.
Behind the countdown, there was a big question mark.
At this moment, a lot of people had gathered around the booth, too.
It was because the countdown that had been going on for three days would return to zero in ten minutes. The question mark, on the other hand, suddenly jumped and turned into an even bigger and more dazzling exclamation mark!
As the countdown shrank, the exclamation mark was flashing, too, like a passionate heartbeat.
This kind of unexpected advertising technique made everyone look forward to the booth in the fog.
"Shua!"
In the last ten minutes, the Fist of Fury emblem of the Grand Desolate War Institution slowly appeared around the fog.
From the fog, rumbling noises of guns, explosions of spiritual energy, shrieks of demon beasts, and roars of human beings could be heard. r1152
