Chapter 1565 - 623 - 632

Chapter 623: Released

This was a very exciting piece of news. Since it appeared at the Miracle Summit, the entire world wished the Miracle Helmet could appear on the market faster. However, although the regional factories had already begun production, it would take awhile before they could stock up.

They would let everyone have a taste first!

The thousands of guests now were the top characters of various countries, not only did they have money and power, they had quite a bit of influence. If they did a test before sending them out, it would be easier to sell on the continent in the future.

The Miracle Royal Palace's service robots began to move, as they delivered commemorative edition Miracle City helmets to everyone.

"Miracle City is very honoured that everyone has come to support the Miracle Royal Palace. Although there is a limited quantity of Spiritual Helmets, we can still take out a part for everyone to take home as souvenirs. What everyone is currently holding is Miracle City's official Spiritual Helmet."

"Our Miracle Helmet gathers many different functions together. Not only can you enter the beautiful and illusory Miracle Continent, you can also shop, finance, and communicate, but it isn't just limited to this."

Jin Luo introduced the prospects and functions of the helmet.

"As everyone knows, Miracle City's research facility, the Yun Sect is currently the continent's most innovative organization. A large part of Miracle Commerce's income is thrown into the research field, distributed to the Yun Sect of each region. We currently have one hundred and eighty thousand researchers and it would be hard to imagine how many more we'll have in the future. Whether it is scale or investment, it would be hard to find a match on the continent."

Everyone nodded when they heard this.

Forgetting the other aspects.

They had to be convinced by their research.

Miracle Commerce was already investing over a hundred million source stones in research and that would be increasing by 50% with each month, not mentioning all the wages of the thousands of researchers. This was not something a normal power could support, let alone the cost of materials needed for the research.

What difference was there from this powerful and giant research facility and a money eating monster?

Investing in research had its natural risk because going from having success with research to making an actual product, it would take a long period of time. If they made a single mistake during this process, the entire process would be wasted.

Miracle Commerce had many services and their earning was big, but the net profit was not high. The main reason they couldn't invest too much on military was that they spent too much on research.

But the Yun Sect's existence had a large significance to Miracle Commerce and was essential to Miracle Commerce.

The Yun Sect under the highest commander, Meng Qingwu was organized in the most efficient method. With over a hundred departments and thousands of big and small projects, it was all integrated together by Meng Qingwu. There was success each day and each one could create a hundred times the value in the future.

The investment for the Yun Sect was very big right now.

The income they would receive in the future was even bigger.

"The spiritual products are now one of Miracle Commerce's most important products!" Jin Luo continued, "Under the orders of our vice chairman and vice City Lord, Meng Qingwu, the Spiritual Net has been formed. As the person in charge of the spiritual department, our department has recruited over five thousand spiritual domain experts who will come to the center of Miracle City, to help us strengthen and maintain our current technology. In the future, there will be even more functions developed."

Everyone present began clapping.

The spiritual domain was a very large domain.

The Spiritual Network was only one important point in it, but even a Spiritual Network had such a large investment. It could be seen how much hope and expectation Miracle Commerce had for the Miracle Helmet.

With all these spiritual energy engineers working together, there would be more and more functions for the Spiritual Helmet!

Some people couldn't help asking questions.

"When will the helmet be sold?

"That's right! What is the price?"

Jin Luo responded to everyone, "The major areas of the continent have their own helmet manufacturing center, so different areas have different speeds. The time and quantity for the sales of the helmets will depend on the situation of the local area. But as a warmup, Miracle Commerce will first release four-five hundred thousand helmets after this conference. They will be sold in the according Miracle Shopping Centers. If everyone wants to give it a try, you can use the helmets in your hands or use your cell phones to find which Miracle Shopping Centers you can buy the product from."

Everyone's happy looks changed into depressed looks.

Only four-five hundred thousand helmets?

There were billions of people on the continent, this was just too little!

If they were sold through the Miracle Shopping Centers, the prices will become very terrifying. This world would never lack rich people. Although they could buy the helmets in their areas in just a few days, to experience this a few days earlier, they would not hesitate to throw their money away!

The people present all began testing the helmet and some people quickly found a problem, "Why can't we access the Miracle Continent? When will this place be opened?"

"This is the third thing Miracle Commerce wanted to announce!" Jin Luo already guessed that people would ask this question, "In fifteen days, our respected alliance speaker, Miracle City's City Lord, Miracle Commerce's chairman, sir Chu Tian will be marrying one of Miracle Commerce's founders and the production and resource minister, miss Meng Yingying. The two of them will hold their wedding on the beautiful Western Sea's Crystal Bay. The Miracle Continent will be open on that day! Let us congratulate City Lord Chu Tian together!"

It would be open in just fifteen days?

Everyone revealed looks of joy.

As for Chu Tian and Meng Yingying's wedding on the Western Sea coast, this was something everyone paid attention to. Of course, they did not pay attention to the wedding itself, but rather the opportunity it brought. They could seize this chance to flatter Chu Tian. Miracle City's influence on the continent was becoming bigger, so there was nothing wrong about getting closer to Miracle Commerce.

After Jin Luo finished all her announcements.

Everyone kept eating and drinking.

This luxurious banquet lasted for several hours before it gradually reached its end. The Wind Moon Empress and the other large characters would stay in the Miracle Royal Palace for a few more days, which was what Miracle Commerce wished for. The price here was shockingly high and these people staying here would mean a large amount of source stones.

Meng Yingying gave the day's revenue to Chu Tian, "Today's average consumption was eighty thousand source stones and there were over six thousand people that participated. The total turnover was over fifty million source stones and the revenue after subtracting the costs was over thirty million!"

Thirty million in a single day?

Meng Qingwu was shocked when she heard this number.

An average of eighty thousand source stones per person? This consumption was strangely high!

What was eighty thousand source stones? For some small and medium sized families of small kingdoms, even if they sold all their possessions, it wouldn't be enough to support a single person's meal in the Miracle Royal Palace.

This also meant that these fellows had a strong power to consume.

Miracle City had really earned quite a bit from this hotel!

This was just the beginning.

Vivian teleported over, "Big brother Chu Tian, quickly come over. The Miracle Shopping Center is prepared to sell the Miracle Helmets! This is the first time the Miracle Helmets are being sold, we can't miss this good opportunity!"

"Alright! Yingying, let's go take a look!"

Chu Tian pulled Yingying to the Smart Brain center in the City Lord's fort, the super Smart Brain for the Miracle Shopping Center was placed here. Meng Qingwu, Jin Luo, and other important members were already gathered here.

Chu Tian asked, "How are we selling the helmets? We can't auction the helmets one by one, right!"

"Of course not, we're doing gathered bids. The four hundred thousand helmets will go on shelves at the same time and will remain there for around three days. The base price of the helmets are in source stones and the buyers from all over the continent can place their bids. If their bid is in the top four hundred thousand, their source stones will be locked. Once they are squeezed out of the rankings, their source stones will become unlocked and they can choose to give up or keep bidding."

So it was like this.

In any area during Miracle City's open auction period, any cell phone or other device that can access the Miracle Shopping Center could become an auction spot. The people of the continent would offer their bids through the Miracle Shopping Center and when the auction ended, the top four hundred thousand people would be able to buy a helmet.

This method was efficient and open.

Each person could only buy one helmet each time.

This limited those resellers with evil intentions, buying the helmets and selling them at a high price.

"Isn't three days too short?" Nangong Yun was a bit worried, "What if not enough people make bids?"

"Impossible, the thousands of important people in the Miracle Royal Palace will not let this chance go. They will naturally draw in their powers and families. Next, we'll advertise this through every channel we have and it'll spread the news in less than a day. It's already being watched very closely."

What else would they wait for?

They would directly start it!

Meng Qingwu asked the Smart Brain, "Has everything been prepared?"

Miracle City's special super Smart Brain replied, "Reporting to the vice City Lord, everything has been prepared."

Meng Qingwu said with a nod, "Then begin!"

Chapter 624: Auction sale

The Miracle Shopping Center was already the largest chain store on the continent, as well as being an era defining online shopping method. This made the Miracle Shopping Center well loved and welcomed as it spread over the continent.

In all the places that the communication signal could cover, people shopped through the Miracle Shopping Center with their cell phones or communication devices. They were all connected to the Miracle Shopping Center platform and would gain information on Miracle Commerce's newest products.

Of course, the information on the cell phones were limited. If one wasn't addicted enough or had even more detailed requirements, people could go to an actual Miracle Shopping Center. The Miracle Shopping Center was already in over two thousand cities.

These places were normally places that sold general use items. They would give perfect experiences, all around service, and had all kinds of goods. They also had an open Miracle Shopping Center Platform, letting people buy all kinds of things from across the continent without leaving their home. If they wanted something, Miracle Commerce would arrange for it to be sent to their city through spatial transportation.

But although the Miracle Shopping Center already covered over five billion people, the spending habits of these new people were slowly developing, so there was only a penetration rate of 2% among these five billion people. But even like this, their trade volume each month was over two billion and it was growing with each month!

In order to have more products and enrich the platform, Miracle Commerce naturally kept giving benefits to merchants. Even with all the costs being deducted from this, the Miracle Shopping Center earned several hundreds of millions in profit. Currently, the Miracle Shopping Center was Miracle City's greatest channel of income and also the one with most potential.

Meng Qingwu took half the profit from the Miracle Shopping Center and used it to develop the Miracle Shopping Center. This money was used to increase the number of staff, the number of Smart Brains, and improve all kinds of technology used.

The Miracle Shopping Center was like a snowball that grew bigger and bigger.

The Miracle Shopping Center expanding not only increased Miracle Commerce's business potential, it also allowed Miracle Commerce to expand themselves in the business world.

Source stones were the standard currency of the continent.

But the value of source stones was too high and wasn't suited to daily use. Each country had their own currency and the Miracle Shopping Center became a standard trade platform, operating in money exchange between countries. In the future, the people of the various countries could open an account in their national currency and even if they went spending in another country, they could avoid exchanging for a hard currency like source stones.

Miracle Commerce with the shopping center and the bank, they could create a whole new currency in the future and they could use this currency to rule most of the large and small kingdoms.

The people of each region of the continent had been stirred, the thresholds of each Miracle Shopping Center had been stepped over to the point of breaking.

"It appeared!"

"It appeared!"

"The Miracle Helmet are on shelves!"

There were cheers from the Miracle Shopping Center in the main city of a certain small country. Miracle City's four-five hundred thousand Spiritual Helmets appeared precisely on time with a price of twenty source stones. They were put on sale with ranked bids.

"Twenty source stones?"

"This price is too expensive!"

When the normal people saw the lowest price of the Miracle Helmet, they shook their heads and sighed.

This price wasn't much in a large kingdom or empire, but in a small kingdom, only a large noble family would have the wealth to buy a helmet.

It would be hard for normal people to earn this amount in their entire life. According to the Southern Summer Country's currency, twenty source stones was an entire twenty million Southern Summer gold coins. This was enough to buy a mansion in the Southern Summer Imperial City and that also included several concubines.

"What do you know?"

"Something is valuable when it is rare!"

"The entire continent is trying to snatch the Miracle Helmet, is this price high? I think it's too low!"

This bit of expense in a large kingdom or an empire was not even worth mentioning. To experience this Spiritual Helmet faster, what did it matter if they spent a bit more source stones?

"The auction is beginning."

Although they couldn't buy it, it didn't ruin everyone's fun in watching.

When the over four hundred thousand Miracle Helmets came out, hundreds of thousands of bids appeared on the screen specially used for displaying information. The number increased at a terrifying speed, quickly reaching two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand…..five hundred thousand!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Could it be that many people were waiting for the Miracle Helmets to come to the market? Just how popular and loved were these Miracle Helmets?

"Quickly look at first place!"

When everyone saw the bid, it was as if the air stopped flowing. The entire area seemed to freeze and there was only the sounds of everyone swallowing their saliva!

Twenty thousand!

Twenty thousand source stones!

This buyer directly raised the lowest price by a thousand times!

This was someone who was too lazy to join the auction, directly throwing tens of thousands of source stones in to just wait for the helmet to be sent over. What was called a rich person? This was called a rich person!

This city's income for a month couldn't even reach twenty thousand source stones!

This mysterious buyer didn't even spare a glance to throw twenty thousand source stones. This was not just one person because in a few minutes, several high prices appeared. Thirty thousand, twenty thousand, forty thousand, fifty thousand, these buyers all increased the starting price by thousands of times!

These buyers must have been too lazy to look at the rankings before bidding, throwing out tens of thousands of source stones with closed eyes. They would get the helmet anyway, they didn't care about this tens of thousands.

Everyone cheered again and again.

The price of the helmet kept getting higher and higher.

There was a shout that came from the crowd, "Move aside, move aside!"

Everyone was a bit stunned because it was none other than their young City Lord. They saw their young City Lord holding an Elven Bank card as he nervously walked in.

The young City Lord was preparing to bid for a helmet?

Everyone opened a path.

The young City Lord looked over the rankings first and found that the lowest price was at thirty six source stones. Miracle Commerce's auction rule was that every person could make a bid and they would have a higher rank the more they bid. There would be a top four hundred thousand ranking in three days.

If there was a situation where the same price was offered, the one who made a bid first would be placed ahead. In the end, the helmets would be distributed based on the rankings. Therefore making a bid first had advantages, but also bidding late had advantages.

"The competition is very big!"

The young City Lord watched as the information kept changing. There were millions of people bidding for the Miracle Spiritual Helmet at the same time and this number kept increasing. The young City Lord was filled with hesitation. Several luxurious horse carriages stopped at this time, it seemed like the rich people of the city were joining in.

"Young City Lord, why are you not making a bid?" A citizen couldn't help speaking up, "It'll be too late if you don't bid now!"

The young City Lord looked at the screen with his head covered in sweat. Although the normal bids weren't too high right now, according to this trend, it would break the three digits soon!

Two hundred and twenty five source stones!

The young City Lord thought about it and boldly gave this number. The surrounding crowd called out in shock at this. It was just buying a helmet, was there was a need for such a high price?

"Don't look down on this price, I think it will greatly increase soon." The young City Lord confidently said, "Instead of fighting at a low price, it is better to steal the high ground with a high price. Even if someone gives the same price as me in the future, since I made the bid first, I will place placed higher."

The price of the helmet kept increasing.

The entire auction lasted for three days.

There were many new things that happened during these three days.

For example, some people of large kingdoms or empires, because their local area didn't have a Miracle Shopping Center, they could only transfer to small countries to enhance their cards. For example, there was a fellow on the continent that used the Giant Dragon Bank's card to directly bid one million, instantly shocking the continent. It was said afterwards that this person came from the Dragon Territory. It was possible they wanted to use this chance to advertise their dragon race's Giant Dragon Bank.

In short, there was a crazy bidding war for the Miracle Helmets for three days.

It allowed the people of the continent see how rich the rich families and rich people were.

A Spiritual Helmet with a base price of twenty source stones, someone actually used one million source stones to steal first place. No matter what their goal was, this million source stones entered Miracle Commerce's pockets. Doing something like this just to show off, it really was incredible.

Of course.

This was a minority in the end.

Most people were rather rational.

When the auction finally ended, the lowest price was two hundred and twenty five source stones, around ten times the base price. This was still in the region of reasonable.

"Ha, ha, ha!"

"I bought it, I bought it!"

The young City Lord found that he really was lucky, picking the exact lowest price. Because he had made his bid early, according to Miracle Shopping Center's rules, although tens of thousands of people made the same bid as him, they were all placed behind the young City Lord. In the end, most of them gained nothing.

"I've gained big time! I've gained big time!"

The young City Lord was wild with joy. There were many places on the continent, especially the empires where because they don't have a Transport Array or Shopping Center, they couldn't buy the helmet even if they had money. If the young City Lord were to sell this helmet, it wasn't hard to earn back ten times his investment. He could just buy it again when the helmets were put on sale again.

No matter what.

The young City Lord would become famous in the city now.

But the issue many people were concerned about was, how much money did Miracle Commerce gain from this auction?

Chapter 625: Undead Sages

All of Miracle Commerce was incredibly busy.

This auction sale, although it was only for three short days, not only did it bring large revenue, but it also created a large topic that the entire continent discussed. If this was a plan to advertise the Miracle Helmet, the creator of this plan would receive full marks.

The most important thing was that it wasn't just advertising, they were also making a profit!

The day the auction sale ended, Miracle Commerce's members all gathered in the conference hall. Each person was silently waiting with a look of expectation on their faces.

The moment the auction ended!

The Shopping Center's super Smart Brain put some data on the screen. During the short three day auction of the helmets, there were a total of twelve million and one hundred and thirty thousand people who participated, with number of bids adding up to forty nine million and sixty thousand times. Then final highest bid was one million source stones and there were over two hundred bids that were over one hundred thousand source stones. The final lowest price was two hundred and twenty five source stones...The final giant total was displayed on the screen.

This data demonstrated the giant financial difference of the continent. The peak rich people could easily throw several hundred thousand away and the poor people could only keep trying their luck in the end.

The total sales number in the end was four hundred million, eight hundred and thirty one source stones!

Which came to an average of around nine hundred and thirty source stones per helmet.

When this data came out, everyone cheered. This was not just an incomparably large amount of income for Miracle City, it also demonstrated the charm and prospects of the Miracle Spiritual Helmet!

"Four hundred million, it's four hundred million!"

"Is there a mistake?"

After the Miracle Helmet development department learned of this, they were all stunned by this number. This was because they knew the cost of the Miracle Helmets were very low. The total cost for the over four hundred thousand Miracle Spiritual Helmets was no more than two million.

Turning two million in materials into products worth four hundred million, this couldn't be described as just making a profit, this was simply turning stone into gold! Not to mention that Miracle City have obtained a large income, which instantly helped relieve their tight finances.

"Everyone has done beautifully this time." Chu Tian stood up and gave strong applause, "We have not only created the most luxurious hotel on the continent, we have also used this chance to blow up the helmets and brought a large income to Miracle City. I have decided to take out a tenth of this to reward everyone with a bonus."

A tenth was forty million source stones!

This was a very rich bonus!

From the staff and researchers that developed the helmets like Meng Yingying and Jin Luo to the staff of the Shopping Center, they all received a large reward. This was like gaining several years of income for the staff!

Meng Qingwu had some misgivings with Chu Tian being this generous, after all, Miracle City required a large amount of funds and this bonus was a bit too excessive, but she knew what kind of person Chu Tian was. This money was an accidental happiness, so letting him give a bit out was fine.

"We need to broadcast our gains. Four hundred million in three days, this is a very explosive topic. We can use this to further increase the influence of the helmets and increase the confidence of our partners, allowing them to see the potential of the helmets!" Meng Qingwu said this and revealed a faint smile, "The empires have seen how good the sale of the helmets are, so their eyes must be red with greed. Even if they have to go without food and water, they will want to make helmets."

The more popular the helmets became.

The more significant this was to Miracle City.

"Reporting to the City Lord." At this time, the super Smart Brain in charge of Miracle City, Zero spoke up, "Sir City Lord, there has been a group of undead sent from the Netherworld Sea's Transport Tower. They say they are the scholars sent from the Netherworld Sea. They are currently being guarded by our army, City Lord, please make a decision."

Scholars?

Chu Tian patted his head.

He remembered, he remembered!

Chu Tian received the Nether King's gift not long ago. He had given Chu Tian fifty Undead Sages and now the undead had been gathered. Chu Tian immediately headed over to greet them.

The attire of these undead could be considered the same.

There were spirits, Liches, skeletons, corpse witch. In short, all of them were surrounded by a powerful death aura that made it very hard for living beings to approach them.

Chu Tian quickly came forward, "Everyone must be the Sages from the Netherworld Sea!"

The ranks for scholars on the continent was: Scholar, Great Scholar, Country Scholar, Great Country Scholar, Sage, and Great Sage.

Everyone thought of the Netherworld Sea as a place ruled by the undead, but few people knew that the Netherworld Sea was a place with the deepest knowledge in certain fields on the continent.

This was because undead had an almost limitless life.

This was because the undead didn't enjoy certain things others did.

This was because the undead did not have a way to use herbs to increase their cultivation.

Therefore, most highly intelligent undead chose the path of studying. Based on what Chu Tian knew, one of the important reasons humans could rise up on the continent was because they obtained knowledge from the undead. This knowledge came from thousands of years of research by the undead. Humans used this sea of knowledge as a base to finally create the Source Energy Technology.

The wisdom of the undead couldn't be underestimated.

The Undead Sages were undead who had been around for a long time. Chu Tian knew that biologically, undead could last forever without dying, but undead were not existences that could truly last forever. Just like the city's Smart Brain, Zero, he used to be a Lich, but over a long time, he couldn't stop his consciousness from fading. This was the degradation of the mind that was hard to resist.

These fellows were able to exist this long mainly because of their special abilities.

A corpse witch came over and said, "The Nether King wanted us to come study in Miracle City. For the next five years, we will be under the City Lord. Of course, we will need proper treatment. All the necessary materials will be provided by Miracle City."

Were five years considered long for undead?

But five years was actually a long time for Chu Tian!

No matter what goal the Nether King had in sending these fifty Sages to Miracle City, these five years were enough for them to do many things for Chu Tian.

"That is all expected."

"What domains do you excel in?"

Chu Tian could understand how precious these Undead Sages were. Some of them excelled in spatial studies, some of them excelled in spiritual studies, and some excelled in soul studies. There were even some who had quite a bit of experience with experimenting. There was a part of them that were famous before dying who only became undead in order to find a way to never die.

"Good, very good. Miracle City was lacking people and you all came just in time. I will not mistreat you all."

With this scholar alliance at the Sage level.

Miracle Commerce's research ability had been greatly increased.

The ideas and thoughts Chu Tian had became even more wild because of this.

Chapter 626: Cooperation

The Yun Sect's laboratory was bug, but it lacked peak characters, which was the main difference between Miracle City and the empires. This time the Nether King had sent fifty Undead Sages at once, who all came from different fields, which was like sending charcoal in winter to Miracle City.

Chu Tian decided to properly demonstrate their value.

He would let Miracle Commerce's technology ascend another step in a short period of time!

What goal did the Nether King have? It didn't matter! He would just treat these Sages as foreign scholars!

Chu Tian was not afraid of his technology being secretly learnt because five years was enough for Miracle Commerce to expand over the entire continent. At that time, even if a part of the technology was stolen, it wouldn't be much use. Not to mention, Chu Tian kept advancing his technology, so the things that are revealed will always be obsolete.

Chu Tian had just finished setting up these Undead Sages when Meng Qingwu anxiously contacted him, "There is something that just happened. Quickly come back and discuss this."

When Chu Tian returned to the City Lord Fort, he saw people dressed in the styles of different countries there.

Meng Qingwu immediately introduced Chu Tian to everyone, they were the messengers of the empires or the empire level powers. Wind Moon, Burning Heaven, Wild Beast, the Netherworld Sea, and the other places. They came on the orders of their bosses to discuss something very important.

"So it's the messengers of the different countries? I've been rude, I've been rude!" Chu Tian cupped his hands before directly asking, "I wonder, is there something you need from this one?"

"How could we need something from sir City Lord?" A female messenger from the Wind Moon Empire respectfully said, "We have the orders of the empress to discuss the matter of cooperation with you."

The Burning Heaven Empire's messenger couldn't help standing up and saying, "City Lord Chu Tian, our Burning Heaven Empire was here first. Even if you cooperate with others, you should cooperate with us first!"

The Dragon's Territory messenger was dissatisfied, "This is doing business, not walking along the streets, who has heard of first come first serve? Of course it'll be whoever gives the best conditions!"

What kind of situation was this?

Chu Tian looked at Meng Qingwu beside him with a confused look. Meng Qingwu gave a few soft coughs before explaining to the messengers, "Because the Miracle Helmets in the Miracle Shopping Center was snatched up, the citizens of the empires are very regretful they couldn't snatch up a helmet. While the people of the empire do not lack the resources and interest, Miracle Commerce's advertisement speed was limited, so it couldn't cover most of the empires. Also the auction time was very short, so they didn't have time to participate."

Chu Tian could mostly guess what happened. It was the empires being jealous of Miracle City's large gains, so they came to take some for themselves, "So?"

"The Burning Heaven Emperor has decided to take out five hundred thousand helmets and wants to auction the using the Miracle Shopping Center platform. We will also specially send bidding places to the regions of the empires to allow the people of the empires to participate. It will ensure it sells for a good price and it can allow the citizens of the countries try out the Miracle Helmets."

Chu Tian rolled his eyes.

What kind of excuse was this?

If you really cared about the citizens, why would you auction it at a high price? You could just directly sell it to the citizens. Thinking about the money of your citizens and coming up with these good sounding excuses, Chu Tian could only show his disdain towards this kind of act.

But speaking of this.

"You've finished building five hundred thousand helmets this quickly?" Chu Tian showed serious doubt about this number, "I remember that the Heaven Burning Empire's helmet factory has just been constructed, could it be that you've made these helmets out of thin air?"

The Burning Heaven Empire's messenger honestly said, "We still haven't made the helmets yet, but we can sell them first. We'll have the auction for a few days and have them wait another few days, then wouldn't our helmets be made?"

Chu Tian directly submitted.

These fellows were selling things before they were even made, who did business like this in this world? This is rushing to earn a profit, like they're afraid that someone else will snatch it first!

Chu Tian looked at the others. Although he didn't ask anything, looking at their expressions, they all seemed to be thinking the same thing. It really made people feel ashamed. Chu Tian hadn't given his opinion yet when those messengers began arguing again.

The Wind Moon Empire's messenger said, "If Miracle City cooperates with the Wind Moon Empire first, we'll give Miracle City 10% of the profits."

"Ten percent?" The Burning Heaven Empire's messenger gave a cold laugh before loudly announcing, "Our Burning Heaven Empire will give 20%."

This fierce? It was simply doubling it!

The Dragon's Territory messenger was even more brazen, "The Dragon's Territory is willing to give 30%!"

Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu watched the messengers struggling to be first, smoothly earning one fourth of the profit for Miracle Commerce. Miracle Commerce could just lay there and it would still earn money! Chu Tian even suspected that if they kept quarreling, they might even raise it to 50%!

These forces had been competing for a long time.

Therefore, they would rather earn less or not earn anything at all than to let the other side earn something!

The Dark Night Forest's messenger saw that quarreling like this was not a method, so he looked at Chu Tian and said, "City Lord Chu Tian, what do you think?"

The messengers all stopped and looked at Chu Tian.

"Everyone, please calm down." Chu Tian comforted everyone, "Think about it, if one is chosen, wouldn't that mean offending the others? Miracle City would never do anything that offends someone! You are all overlords of the continent with deep influence, Miracle City is just a newly risen star, how could we dare offend you?"

The messengers all looked at each other in blank dismay.

This choice did indeed make Miracle City feel very awkward.

Chu Tian spoke again at this time, "I have a method that can satisfy everyone, I just don't know if you'll all agree."

"What method?" The Wind Moon Empire's messenger quickly asked, "Please tell us."

Chu Tian slowly responded, "Why do you need to steal from each other? Our history of development is very quick, there is no need to eat all this alone. It's beneficial for everyone to work together, so we can all become rich together."

The messengers all didn't understand.

Chu Tian explained, "You can all take out five hundred thousand helmets and place them all in the Miracle Shopping Center. The source stones in the end will be evenly shared with everyone and we will all earn a large amount, wouldn't we all be happy?"

This was indeed a method.

But some people didn't agree.

The Wind Moon Empire's messenger said, "How could that be? Our Wind Moon Empire's citizens are very rich, can your Burning Heaven Empire compare? If this is divided evenly, we would suffer a large loss!"

"Ah pei, I don't want to share with you. The Burning Heaven Empire has a large population, can you compare?"

"If we're talking about wealth, the Dragon's Territory is the wealthiest."

"If we're talking about population, the Wild Beast Empire has the most people!"

The messengers began fighting without end, no one was willing to make the slightest concession. Chu Tian felt a very strong headache come over him. Meng Qingwu couldn't help standing up and saying, "Everyone, listen to me."

Meng Qingwu was a person with a strong reputation.

The messengers were all clear that the one truly in charge of Miracle City was this woman. So in front of this woman, they would restrain themselves a bit since they would have to frequently deal with her in the future.

"Actually this problem isn't hard to solve at all. Miracle Commerce's Smart Brain system can analyze the total bids and amounts. We'll give the places with higher bids a bit more and the places with lower bids a bit less, so it'll be relatively fair in terms of distribution."

This was indeed a method.

But the messengers weren't too satisfied.

Meng Qingwu gave another condition, "Miracle Commerce will only take cooperations where both sides win. As for Miracle Commerce's share, we will only need 20%. If everyone can report to their lords, we can immediately start cooperating, otherwise it'll be hard to proceed. I ask you to weigh the advantages."

Was there still another choice?

Who didn't like earning a bit more source stones?

The empires didn't have a channel like the Miracle Shopping Center, so even if they can make the helmets, they can't auction them. They hadn't started mass producing them yet, so how much could they earn by just selling a few hundred thousand helmets? This bit of source stones wouldn't even enter the eyes of the empires!

The messengers all brought back Meng Qingwu's condition!

On the same day, the rulers held a conference with Meng Qingwu with the Spiritual Helmet and they agreed to Meng Qingwu's proposition. The main thing was discussing some rules, like each empire were to be ensured a certain amount of helmets to avoid the first batch being sold by another empire. As well, the profit of the helmets would be sold based on their proportions, to avoid further bickering when the sales had been made.

With Meng Qingwu's mediation.

They finally created a plan that everyone could be satisfied with.

This matter was set like this. The Wind Moon Empire, the Burning Heaven Empire, the Wild Beast Empire, the Dark Night Forest, the Dragon's Territory, and the Netherworld Sea, these six large forces would each take out five hundred thousand helmets for a total of three million helmets. They would all be placed in the Miracle Shopping Center to be auctioned.

The coverage of this auction would be even wider!

There would be an auction location in each region of the empire and their associated kingdoms, which meant that all domestic and foreign markets were being tapped. The auction time was also longer, being a full seven days, giving the various rich people time to make their bids.

For the Miracle Helmet to be produced in large scale and become the continent's most popular item, it would take at least a year or two. Right now, the Miracle Helmet was only a luxury product for rich people. This continent didn't lack rich families worth hundreds of millions of source stones, these people weren't lacking in money. As long as they could experience the Spiritual Helmets a bit earlier, what was spending a few hundred thousand source stones considered?

To make the bids even stronger.

Miracle Commerce wildly began to advertise. Before the Miracle City's City Lord's wedding and before the opening of the Miracle Continent, this was the last batch of Miracle Helmets. If one missed this chance, they would have to wait another month or two!

Chapter 627: Preparations

This auction was a cooperation with the six empire level powers, therefore there was no avoiding frequent interactions. Letting Meng Qingwu mediate this was most appropriate.

The empires steeled their hearts to make this profit.

Why didn't Miracle Commerce earn a free amount by just tagging along?

Actually source stones was secondary for them, Miracle Commerce wanted to use this chance to expand the coverage of the Miracle Shopping Center. Although they could establish complete Miracle Shopping Centers with time, they could set up temporary locations in the main cities of the empires with their assistance. This temporary site because of logistics and other reasons, they couldn't open a shopping and online shopping platform, but it was enough for them to use for the helmet auction.

This was because pure communications wasn't hard for Miracle Commerce. The Heaven's Net airships were used to set up a communication network and normal ships had giant coverage areas. Miracle Commerce could already mass produce Heaven's Net airships, therefore they could quickly set up the communication network in the empire's main areas first.

Three million helmets, the same base price of twenty source stones, and it was being sold with free bidding!

It was unknown how many times bigger the average price will be this time, but it will definitely be much more than Miracle Commerce's sale last time. On one hand, this was because they were selling to richer locals this time. On the other hand, after the previous auction, the Miracle Helmets were discussed all over the continent, giving them much more attention compared to before.

Not to mention the Miracle Continent would open soon.

This was an important factor driving people to bid.

This was because with Miracle Commerce's development, the forces that entered the Miracle Continent earlier would be able to seize more chances to develop in this virtual world. The Miracle Continent would be the home of the minds of all the people on the continent, this was something that couldn't be valued. Giving several hundred thousand extra source stones was not worth mentioning!

Chu Tian's work was also very important. He brought Yingying and Jin Luo to the elevator and rode down to the underground gnome research laboratory.

Chu Tian remembered his first time visiting the laboratory, most of it had been shut down temporarily because of a lack of funding. At that time, the basic maintenance cost of the laboratory was several tens of thousands of source stones. Now, the underground laboratory was not just fully functioning, the scale had more than doubled. It took in tens of thousands of source stones each month and this number kept increasing.

There was a giant energy shield around the center of the laboratory.

This energy shield was powered by the entire Miracle City energy system. Unless the attackers could surpass the limit of the Miracle City energy system, they could not break this shield. Even if it was an emperor, they could only break it if they had more than half a day.

"This is the terminal spiritual connection!" Meng Yingying already knew that Miracle City had something like this, but it was still her first time seeing it. She asked Chu Tian, "This thing can really connect the minds of all the people on the continent?"

Chu Tian snappily said, "Do you know how many source stones Miracle Commerce invested in building this? There are several hundred thousand helmets distributed and adding in the three million, there are less than five million. If even this bit of minds couldn't connect, what significance would the Miracle Continent have?"

They walked through the barrier.

Meng Yingying felt a giant store of spiritual energy in front of her and she was very shocked to see what it was. There was a giant crystal ball there that had an astonishing volume, having a diameter of over two hundred meters.

What was the most shocking was that this crystal ball released spiritual energy, which also meant that this crystal ball with a diameter of two hundred meters was actually a high intensity spiritual crystal. How much spiritual energy material was used to create this Just the value of this crystal ball was over a hundred million!

This incomparably large crystal ball was filled with equipment and there were over a thousand gnomes maintaining it. Other than that, there was a second crystal ball that was prepared in this place.

"Sir City Lord." The gnome leader clark came over and said, "The first Mother Spiritual Ball has been tested without any issues. It can hold the minds of at least thirty million people and it can reach fifty million if it is overloaded. We are currently constructing the second Mother Spiritual Ball and I estimate it'll be done in a month."

Chu Tian nodded and said, "Go faster, the more Mother Spiritual Balls, the better. Although there isn't a requirement currently, the Miracle Helmets will explode in six months. We will receive a large test and challenge in various aspects."

"Yes, sir City Lord."

"I'll inspect it first."

The entire continent knew now that Miracle City was prepared to open the Miracle Continent, so if something went wrong at the most critical moment, the one embarrassed wouldn't be just the company, Chu Tian would also lose all face.

Meng Yingying looked up at the giant crystal ball and said in astonishment, "Such a large piece of spiritual crystal, how much wealth did it take for this? What kind of principle is it running on?"

"This is the Mother Spiritual Ball, it contains a powerful spiritual energy. Actually it is the generator for the spiritual world, our Miracle Continent was made inside it. Moreover, it is the spiritual connection that will let each Miracle Helmet user across the continent connect to it, allowing them to enter the Miracle Continent." Chu Tian used his Divine Sense to scan the Mother Spiritual Ball while he continued to explain, "Other than this terminal system, we also have the Smart Brain matrix system and the launch system."

The matrix system was composed of a large amount of super Smart Brains.

These super Smart Brains were distributed throughout Miracle City because the Miracle Continent's changes, orders, and laws all needed to be stabilized. This had a high requirement in terms of data analyzed, so it wasn't enough if they didn't have enough powerful Smart Brains.

The launch system was formed by a large amount of Launch Towers.

Although spiritual energy was different from other kinds of energy and wouldn't weaken even if it was transferred from afar, it could be disrupted if it met a powerful spiritual energy array. To avoid this kind of situation happening, Miracle City increased their spiritual signal receiving ability, guaranteeing that they could cover the entire continent without any difference.

Chu Tian finished inspecting it.

There were no major problems at all.

But he still pointed out a few small defects.

Meng Yingying was filled with expectation as she looked at the giant Mother Spiritual Ball, "I really want to see the Miracle Continent sooner. Our Miracle Commerce has created a world, that is even more powerful than a Spiritual God!"

Chu Tian took his fiancee's hand with a smile, "What are you in a rush for? You'll receive a pleasant surprise when the time comes!"

While Chu Tian was making his final inspection and preparations for his wedding on the Miracle Continent, the Miracle Shopping Center had already exploded.

Chu Tian used over a day to specially build and maintain the Mother Spiritual Ball before he left the underground laboratory. He returned to the surface to personally prepare his wedding.

This was also when the new round of auctions had officially begun.

Meng Qingwu used a Smart Brain to calculate the data for the first day. There was a total of nineteen million one hundred and thirty thousand people who participated and there were a total of over eighty nine million and six hundred thousand bids. When this data was announced, everyone was shocked.

The first day of this round of bidding hadn't even concluded yet and temporary locations in the key areas of the empires hadn't been constructed yet, but various parts of the data had already far surpassed the previous three days total. It could be imagined just how popular the Miracle Helmets were from this.

The Miracle Helmet was not just a practical helmet, it could be used to show off one's status. This was a symbol of power and wealth.

Meng Qingwu aimed for people's hearts. Therefore she specially announced that before the Miracle Continent opened, the helmets sold would be special commemorative helmets that would be different from future helmets.

All those that surpassed the premium price by three times would receive a special souvenir product.

Those that ranked in the top 10% would all receive a special mark to show their status.

Those that ranked in the top 1% would have the right to use special materials to customize the design and quality of their helmet.

These things didn't require much investment from Miracle Commerce, but the results it yielded was very shocking. When the first day of the auction ended and the data was received, the staff members of Miracle Commerce were dumbfounded.

The first place had bid two million source stones!

All the lowest ranks for the three million helmets were over two hundred!

This data was more than double that from the first auction!

When Meng Qingwu sent this data to the rulers, the rulers were also stunned. It wouldn't be strange if this data came on the last day, but for the first day to be like this, this was just too shocking. It already far surpassed their expectations.

They couldn't help feeling expectant.

Just what kind of astonishing data would this auction bring?

Chapter 628: Trouble

The auction sale was like a raging flame. Every piece of data kept exploding. From the emperors to the common citizens, they were all paying close attention to this matter, simply becoming their daily entertainment.

The data that came each day changed people's view of this world.

The people of the continent finally knew.

Just how rich the rich people were.

Chu Tian didn't pay close attention to this matter because he knew the result even if he used his butt to think. Since he already knew the result, why spend all day looking at it? Chu Tian only did two things each day. One was bringing Meng Yingying and the others around to taste all kinds of delicacies and the other was managing the West Sea City wedding.

But while it was peaceful in Miracle City.

City Lord Bo Sha suddenly teleported over.

After the Ten Thousand Flood Dragon Warring Kingdom had submitted to the Forest Alliance, West Sea City controlled half of their sea territories. Their influence in the Western Sea kept growing and their lives were becoming better with each passing day, so why did she come to Miracle City at this time?"

Chu Tian personally greeted her, "Why does City Lord Bo Sha have the free time to come to Miracle City for some tea? How is West Sea City's preparations? My wedding is in just a few days."

"Naturally West Sea City is prepared." City Lord Bo Sha said to Chu Tian with a serious face, "But sir City Lord, I came to Miracle City this time mainly to report an important matter to you."

Chu Tian was a bit surprised hearing this.

Although he didn't know what it was, for City Lord Bo Sha to personally come, it wasn't a small matter and it wouldn't be anything good. Chu Tian was about to get married to Yingying, so there couldn't be any chaos at this time.

Bo Sha gave a helpless sigh and said, "I've heard some news that the Big Dry Empire seems to be ready to cause trouble."

Chu Tian's brows instantly knitted.

This was the most awful matter. Everyone knew of the Big Dry Empire's grudge with Miracle City, but since the Big Dry Empire's troops had been defeated, they hadn't shown any movements at all. However, with a force like the Big Dry Empire, how could they swallow this indignation. So, their retaliation was only a matter of time.

This period of inaction could be for them to prepare themselves.

Chu Tian immediately asked, "What useful information do you have?"

Bio Sha honestly said, "According to what I know, the Big Dry Empire has specially invited several large characters. Among them is the spirit beast Howling Sky Empire's Howling Sky Emperor and the northern Highland Alliance's Highland King."

Chu Tian slightly knit his brows, "What are the backgrounds of these two fellows?"

"The Howling Sky Empire is the largest wolf spirit beast empire on the continent, it's said that they have the strongest cavalry in the world. It's a very militaristic empire that has fought with the Dark Night Forest, the Burning Heaven Empire, and even the Big Dry Empire with an advantage for their side, so they aren't simple. As for the Highland Alliance, it is an alliance in the north that covers the snow region of the northern highlands. It's the largest power on the continent, made up of humans, dwarves, giants, snow trolls, snow elves, and other races. Their alliance system is different from ours and they are an established empire level power.

These two empires seemed to dislike Miracle City.

When Chu Tian held the Miracle Summit, Meng Qingwu had sent people to invite them, but these arrogant fellows completely looked down at Miracle City. This was not strange at all. Whether it is the Howling Sky Empire or the Highland Alliance, they are all too far away from Miracle City, so Miracle Commerce's influence on them was limited.

The Howling Sky Empire was a spirit beast empire. Spirit beasts are usually arrogant, barbaric, rude, and short sighted, they didn't believe that Miracle Commerce could do anything for them.

As for the Highland Alliance, the situation was different. The Highland Alliance wasn't like the Forest Alliance. In the Forest Alliance, each forest city was on the same level. For the Highland Alliance, it had ten times the area of the Forest Alliance and was made of several warring kingdoms, where whoever was the strongest was the boss.

The Highland Alliance was also relatively far away.

On one hand, they didn't know anything about Miracle Commerce. On the other hand, their alliance structure was rather chaotic, with complicated relations between them, so there could be various aspects that obstructed Miracle City's invitation.

Now the Big Dry Empire had pulled in these two powers, it was most likely they were going to move against Chu Tian's wedding. After all, Chu Tian had caused the Big Dry Empire to lose a great deal of face, so the Big Dry Empire wants to let others know they can't be walked over.

Chu Tian asked with a bit of a headache, "How many soldiers have they gathered?"

Bo Sha shook her head and said, "This is not known for now."

The Big Dry Empire was planning an unexpected attack, so they definitely would have hidden their army. Even if Miracle City knew that they were hiding, their strength just wasn't enough. They were on the defending side, so they couldn't use any loopholes. How could they defend the attack of three different powers like this?

This news had come too suddenly.

There were only a few days before the wedding!

Chu Tian felt his matter was very important, so he called Meng Qingwu over to discuss it.

Meng Qingwu didn't think that the Big Dry Empire would attack at this time. She pondered this for a bit before saying, "We have to use all of Miracle City's resources to investigate this matter clearly. We have to at least know how many people, what kind of troops they are sending, and where they are attacking so we can properly defend against them."

Chu Tian asked, "Do we have confidence in defending with our military forces?"

"With Miracle City's position in the alliance, it is enough to summon the alliance to attack the enemy together. If it was against a single empire level power, this is not a problem. But there are three of them and their goal is very clear, which is to attack West Sea City. Even in a one on one situation, we can't completely guarantee that we can defend West Sea City."

West Sea City's current defenses definitely could not compare to Miracle City's.

After all, Miracle City already had a powerful weapon and shield system, as well as the Tree of Life and the Treants defending it. It would be very hard for Miracle City to defend against the attacks of the three powers, not to mention the weaker West Sea City.

The most important thing was.

This was not just a defensive battle!

If the marriage was in progress in West Sea City and the Big Dry Empire's army suddenly attacked, regardless of if they could defend West Sea City or not, the wedding Miracle City had planned for so long couldn't continue.

Meng Qingwu suggested, "Our influence has grown, it should be barely strong enough to influence the empire level powers. For the present, we should ask for help from the empires."

This was a troublesome matter.

Of the six powers, the only one with a relatively good relationship with Miracle City was the Dark Night Forest and that was because the Dark Night Forest's Moon God Palace was controlled by Chu Tian. As for the other forces, it was hard to guess. It was already good enough if they didn't kick them when they were down, but would they send help?

"We have shared interests, they still need to rely on Miracle City to earn a large amount of money, so I think there shouldn't be a problem. I'll give it a try."

Meng Qingwu knew this situation was urgent, so she had to try lobbying them.

Chapter 629: Being butchered

Meng Qingwu sent an urgent spiritual conference request to the six empire level powers. The so called spiritual conference was using the Spiritual Helmet to connect to a conference hall. After all, the six were famous characters on the continent, so if they were casually called over, where would their prestige be? If they weren't given any prestige, Miracle Commerce wouldn't have a good future.

The spiritual conference could solve that problem.

The six forces had been watching the ranking at the Miracle Shopping Center all day, so they had realized the power of the Miracle Shopping Center. Meng Qingwu had called this spiritual conference at this crucial moment, so they definitely would not reject. Therefore, at around the right time, they put on their helmets.

The Burning Heaven Emperor came in laughing, "The Miracle Shopping Center's earning power truly makes one envious. With Miracle City holding this money tree in hand, they won't have to worry about lacking money in the future."

The Wind Moon Empress elegantly drank a cup of tea, which was naturally formed from spiritual energy. She casually said, "Miracle Commerce can earn money even lying down, it would be good if we could even have a bit of that soup."

The dragon race's great elder and the Nether King all agreed to this.

Meng Qingwu felt the situation wasn't right as soon as she came in.

These fellows were the peak existences on the continent, they weren't simple being able to sit in these positions. Their current display made it hard for people not to be confused. Meng Qingwu looked over the Dark Night Elven King and she picked up a few clues from his eyes.

So it was like this.

The Big Dry Empire colluding with the Howling Sky Empire and the Highland Alliance, even West Sea City could pick up a few clues on this, so how could these peak existences of the continent not know a single thing? This was clearly not realistic!

They came out praising Miracle Commerce, Meng Qingwu could only think of one possibility. These fellows had some other plans.

Meng Qingwu knew she couldn't avoid this, so she wasn't polite with them and didn't beat around the bush, as she directly said, "I think everyone knows Miracle City's current situation. Our enemy, the Big Dry Empire has colluded with two other powers to attack West Sea City on the day of the wedding. Everyone should know that the day of the West Sea City wedding will be the day the Miracle Continent opens. The opening of the Miracle Continent is an important function of the helmets and everyone will earn profits from the helmets. In the future, we can rely on the helmets to earn billions, so during Miracle City's time of difficulty, I ask everyone to lend us a bit of power."

The rulers were all a bit stunned.

Meng Qingwu directly throwing out the problem and asking for help was not something they had thought would happen.

"It isn't that we can't help!" A wild voice sounded out, which was the Wild Beast Empire's Wild Beast Emperor. This spirit beast emperor loudly said, "Only the spirit beast race is very poor, the military expenses are not a small figure."

Military expenses? If you can't even take out the military expenses, you might as well destroy your Wild Beast Empire!

Meng Qingwu knew that it was impossible to avoid shearing some meat, she had been prepared for this since the beginning. After all, Miracle City was only cooperating with them and they didn't have an alliance. They didn't have any obligations to send soldiers for Miracle City, therefore they wanted to earn as much benefits as possible.

Miracle City was unlikely to perish from this disaster because the Big Dry Empire's troops only wanted the disrupt the wedding the people of the continent had been looking forward to, and they wanted to delay the opening of the Miracle Continent. It would cause Miracle Commerce's fame on the continent to fall greatly and once West Sea City fell, Miracle City would lose the entire Western Sea which was a giant loss for them.

Meng Qingwu said without even thinking, "For the profit from the sale of the helmets, Miracle City will only take 10% and the rest will be given to everyone else."

This was worth at least several hundred thousand source stones.

What concept was several hundred thousand source stones?

For a poor place like the Wild Beast Empire, a spirit beast country where each person had low income, their monthly tax revenue was only a few hundred million. This was an empire with a population of over ten billion and their annual income was this pitiful. Meng Qingwu didn't even blink to give away several hundred million.

Do they not want source stones?

Do they not want military expenses?

I don't believe several hundred million source stones isn't enough.

"Vice City Lord Meng mustn't think that we're trying to gain benefits during troubled times, actually we want to help you very much." The Burning Heaven Empire said with a troubled look at this time, "Once we start fighting, we will be offending three powers of the same level. We have to weigh the advantages and disadvantages within, so source stones are not an important matter."

Meng Qingwu directly said, "Everyone, don't forget, we are in a cooperation. If Miracle Commerce encounters any accidents, you will all be affected. Once the Miracle Continent is delayed, the Miracle Helmet's popularity will greatly decrease. Other than that, the cooperations we have planned for the future will all go to waste, which will be a great loss to everyone! I'm afraid this cannot be simply measured with source stones!"

The Burning Heaven Emperor shook his head and said, "Vice City Lord Meng's words are reasonable, but even with this, there is something that makes it hard for us to make this decision."

Meng Qingwu asked, "What does everyone want?"

The Wild Beast Emperor seemed like a hungry wolf that had smelled blood and immediately stood up. He said with glowing eyes, "How about this, you give us some stock from the Miracle Shopping Center and we'll become partners. Everyone will be one family and we can help each other!"

They're demanding stocks from the Shopping Center?

The Shopping Center was one of the most important income channels for Miracle Commerce and Miracle Commerce's longest lasting platform, its value couldn't be estimated at all and it could generate infinite value in the future. The Miracle Shopping Center was completely controlled by Miracle Commerce, so even if a single bit was transferred out, it would be shearing meat from Miracle Commerce.

The Wild Beast Emperor was too wild.

He actually had this kind of idea!

Meng Qingwu knit her brows and firmly said, "The Miracle Shopping Center is our foundation, doesn't the Wild Beast Emperor feel that this request is a bit overboard?"

The dragon race great elder couldn't help interrupting, "The Miracle Shopping Center's value is hard to estimate, but that is because the platform is just too big. In the future, Miracle Commerce will monopolize trade on the continent, so wouldn't we have to beg Miracle City for any food to eat? Even from a strategic standpoint, Miracle City shouldn't completely control the Miracle Shopping Center. It will only make the other powers fear you and Miracle City."

These words were much more reasonable compared to the Wild Beast Emperor's.

If the Miracle Shopping Center covered the entire continent, the entire market would be controlled by Miracle City. If someone had some conflict with Miracle City, wouldn't they be put to death with just a Miracle Shopping Center? This kind of situation was not something any ruler wanted to see.

Meng Qingwu didn't yield an inch as she said, "Other than only taking 10% from the Miracle Helmets this time, Miracle City and Miracle Commerce can release the rights to produce the helmets and let you all enjoy the benefits of producing the Miracle Helmets."

This was a large piece of cake given to them.

Miracle Commerce wouldn't produce any helmets in the future. This meant that after Miracle Commerce made any development on this technology, they would subcontract the work to the six powers, allowing the six powers to earn a large amount!

The Wind Moon Empress couldn't help saying, "We could develop to this point today because our ancestors from thousands of years ago left behind our starting capital. Even at worst, we still have several billion source stones stored. What we're aiming for is comfort. You have to know how hard it is to guard one's territory, we can't let what our predecessors established degrade in our generation."

The Nether King never said a thing.

But he basically had the same meaning.

This kind of back and forth went one for another two hours.

The rulers were set on eating Miracle City and they knew that Miracle City didn't have that much time because the West Sea City marriage was in just a few days. How was there time to slowly discuss this, this was a pressing matter!

Meng Qingwu never thought that these fellows were so vicious.

No matter what sophistry they used, it was all airtight.

Meng Qingwu vaguely recognized that this kind of butchering was already planned. It was possible that they already knew the Big Dry Empire had contacted the two empire level powers, they knew when they would make a move, and they even leaked this information to West Sea City.

The most important thing was.

With the ability of the rulers, it wasn't hard to investigate the relationship inside Miracle Commerce.

This wedding involved Meng Yingying and Chu Tian who were Meng Qingwu's most important people.

Each person had a soft spot, even an astute person like Meng Qingwu was not an exception. So as long as they grabbed this, they were confident in ruthlessly stealing profit.

Meng Qingwu knew that she was being passive.

And she knew how important it was to increase their strength!

If Miracle City was strong enough, would she have to waste time arguing with them? Investing a large amount in military strength was correct, but now it seemed like it wasn't enough! She needed to increase it again!

Meng Qingwu wasted two hours and she didn't want to waste more time, so she gave her bottom line, "Other than the 10% profit promise and Miracle Commerce no longer manufacturing helmets, I can give you the power to manage the Miracle Shopping Centers in your area, letting you manage your own trade network. Miracle Commerce will not meddle, you just have to hand over a commission relative to your profits each year to Miracle City."

The Wild Beast Empire was not happy, "We still need to pay?"

"Everyone, this is Miracle City's final line!" Meng Qingwu's expression was very serious, "Like this, since the Shopping Centers are managed by you, your so called worries will not exist. If everyone cannot accept this, please excuse this Meng Qingwu for not being able to discuss any further."

Meng Qingwu looked at the Dark Night Elven King when she said this.

The Dark Night Elven King cleared his throat twice before saying, "Everyone, let's take a step back, this kind of result is good for all of us. I don't care what you all think, the Dark Night Forest will agree."

West Sea City was very important to Miracle City.

But they could still keep going if they lost it.

Meng Qingwu was not joking, this really was the bottom line. If this wasn't Chu Tian and her most beloved little sister getting married, she wouldn't have made all these concessions with her personality.

The others all looked at each other.

It was about enough.

They would have to cooperate with Miracle City for a long time, so creating a stiff relation while fighting for benefits did not have any advantages for anyone.

"Vice City Lord Meng truly is a hero among women, this kind of courage fills one with admiration." The Wind Moon Empress stood up to signify her support, "As women, this one will naturally help. The Wind Moon Empire agrees."

The Nether King said in a cold voice, "Agree!"

With three of the six powers agreeing, what could the other three still say? They had to give some respect to Miracle City, so they announced their agreement on the spot.

Chapter 630: Preparations

Meng Qingwu being put on the butchering table during the discussions made Meng Yingying so angry that she almost jumped through the roof. How could these fellows be this excessive? They were simply bullying people! This was hitting someone when they were down and taking advantage of them!

These people were cooperating with Miracle Commerce and when had Miracle Commerce treated them wrongly? They gave them Transport Towers, Space Warehouses, and communication systems, as well as helping them make quite a bit of source stones. Now that Miracle City was in danger, not only did these fellows not help, they were asking for an outrageous price.

"Young miss, Yingying, are you there?"

Chu Tian was holding a bunch of fresh flowers, elegantly appearing through the door. He saw that the two sisters didn't have normal expressions and immediately came over with a smile, putting the flowers he had picked from the Miracle Gardens into a vase.

"What is with you sisters today, why do you look so unhappy? Is there something you're unhappy with?!"

Meng Yingying said, "Elder sister was bullied by others for us!"

Chu Tian was a bit surprised, "Was bullied?"

Meng Yingying gestured and explained everything that had happened, "Are you angry or not?"

Chu Tian knit his brows when he heard this, "There was such a thing that occurred? Then we'll go see them! Come, let's discuss it with them?"

Meng Yingying doubtfully ask, "Will discussing work?"

Chu Tian then changed his words, "Then let's go fight them."

Meng Yingying looked at him with large eyes, "Are you crazy? They are empires!"

Chu Tian had an indignant look, "We can't discuss or fight, what should we do? I must vent your anger for you, let me think about it."

Meng Yingying was a bit worried, she was afraid Chu Tian would do something shocking again, "This…..A gentleman getting revenge ten years later isn't late. Anyway, we've already suffered a loss, so we just need to endure. Let them help us now and when we become stronger, we'll teach them a fierce lesson."

Chu Tian knew that Meng Yingying would respond like this.

On one hand, Miracle City didn't have the confidence. On the other hand, Miracle City didn't have to do this.

Chu Tian had already heard about this matter. The worries of the emperors were completely reasonable from their point of view and if Chu Tian was in their position, he would have been even more ruthless. After all, Miracle City was begging the other side and how many good people were there in this world who didn't want benefits?

"Yingying, forget it. We might have suffered a bit of losses this time, but this loss is just a bit of source stones, it cannot affect our overall plan. Our Miracle Commerce doesn't lack channels for gathering source stones, so just let them go." Meng Qingwu's mood was relatively good, since this matter was already over. She wouldn't waste time complaining about it, "Since they have taken the benefits, we will also receive the protection we deserve and they will cooperate even better with Miracle Commerce, so this is not considered a loss for Miracle City."

Meng Yingying couldn't swallow her anger.

But it was too hard to resist the giant tyrants, she didn't have that kind of courage yet. There was plenty of time in the future, she would forget it this time.

At this time, Zero suddenly said, "Based on the information sent by the Wild Beast Empire, an initial report on the movements and arrangement of the enemy has been formulated. The information accuracy passes 80%. Do you want to take a look?"

Meng Qingwu was surprised, "Quickly send it over."

A piece of projection equipment showed the information.

The report had very clear information on the Big Dry Empire, the Highland Alliance, and the Howling Sky Empire. Looking at the current situation, the three powers had gathered their armies in the Big Dry Empire, having around a million soldiers. They had a focus mainly on mobile and airborne units.

Chu Tian and Miracle City didn't dare be negligent this time.

An entire million soldiers, this was not a small number.

Meng Yingying was also stunned, "Why did they send out all these soldiers?"

"I believe most of them are camouflage." Meng Qingwu gave a calm analysis, "This is after all not a country destroying war, the three empire level powers would not use most of their trump card soldiers to attack a West Sea City. If my guesses aren't wrong, over 60% of this million army are normal elites and around a third of them are trump cards like the ones that attacked Miracle City last time."

Even like this, it was very shocking.

Miracle City had been attacked by eighty thousand Dragon Hawk Cavalry. If it wasn't for the Tree of Life's barrier, the Treants led by Cenarius, and the various reinforcements from the alliance, it was a question if Miracle City could have fought them off.

There was no defensive position in this battle, they could only fight in open land, so the difficulty was completely different.

Since they had already obtained this information.

Meng Qingwu quickly called the six alliance heads over and she started an urgent conference. She first explained the situation, "The Big Dry Empire has bad intentions, our alliance will certainly have to deal with trouble over the next few days. We definitely cannot lose West Sea City, we can't even take an attack to avoid creating chaos and panic. Our task is very large this time, which is to deal with the other side's attack outside the Forest of Chaos."

The Dragon Lord said with a frown, "It would be hard to guard inside the city, not to mention outside the city? Our battle strength has a large difference from that of an empire."

"I have already negotiated with the six empire level power we're cooperating with, they will support us in this battle."

"Even with six powerful countries helping, there already isn't enough time." Lancelot said, "The West Sea City wedding will begin in a few days, it would be hard for the armies of the six coutries to gather in time, not to mention they have to rush over to the far Forest of Chaos. The Transport Towers can't transport all these people at all."

Meng Qingwu answered this question, "It's actually very simple, the Space Gate has already been prepared. The armies of the six countries need to gather at the closest point to their country and we will send them over to Miracle City first with the Space Gate. They can transport to any battlefield from Miracle City, we just need to open the transport line in the city."

This would be much easier.

"We won't let everyone gain nothing this time." Meng Qingwu gave another good matter, "Miracle City will no longer produce Miracle Helmets, but we will give our helmet factories and relating technology to everyone. This will be your reward for helping us."

Everyone revealed looks of joy.

This Miracle Helmet was a very large market, if they could get a part, it would be a large amount. Meng Qingwu really did have her ways. She promised the emperors that she wouldn't produce helmets, but she gave the helmet factory and technology to the alliance members. This didn't violate the agreement and created value for the alliance, as well as helping their partners gain some benefits.

This fat piece of meat was given to them, how could they not go all out this time?

Meng Qingwu said, "Actually, everyone doesn't need to be pessimistic about the alliance's power. Miracle City has started invested large amounts into our military and with everyone's help, we will not lose to an empire level power in a fair situation."

Everyone half doubted these words.

Miracle City had indeed defeated the Big Dry Empire before, but that victory was mainly because the Big Dry Empire attacked despite having a lack of information. Other than that, Miracle City had an advantage as the defenders. Not long after, the second fight was about to begin and in the second fight, whether it was battle strength or actual strength, there was a basic difference.

Chapter 631: New weapons

"Everyone is on our side, so Miracle Commerce will not hide any secrets from you all." Meng Qingwu was not a person of empty words. She knew that no matter how exaggerated she made it sound, it couldn't compare to giving everyone a real demonstration, so she gave the Smart Brain an order, "Zero, please bring up the designs of the newest weapons for everyone to see."

"Yes, vice City Lord."

Zero projected several beams of light to the center of the conference hall.

These lines intertwined to form a three dimensional image.

This was a design for a Mech Suit. There were eight iron arms on its back, making it look like a giant spider.

This Mech Suit was completely different from the rough design from before. This Mech Suit was very streamlined, being filled with a feeling of technology and power.

"The individual Mech Suit has always been one of Miracle Commerce's most important researched weapons, but compared to before, this field of research has already made a major breakthrough." Zero immediately began explaining and the image changed while he spoke, "This individual Spider Mech Suit uses the high density energy mined from the moon, so its energy is several times stronger compared to before. Other than that, it is equipped with a dual layer shield that defends alternatively, which at most can defend six-eight attacks at the True Spirit intensity. It is also equipped with eight attack systems and a combat assist system. Other than that, the Mech Suit is made of liquid metal, so it can freely conform to one's body shape..."

Meng Qingwu added, "We have already produced one hundred thousand sets of these Spider Mech Suits and we are prepared to equip Miracle City's strongest army with them. I believe the Mech Suit army will be the main force on the battlefield."

After Zero finished talking about the Mech Suit, several beams of light came out again.

This time it was a puppet made of metal.

This puppet was very strange. Not only did it have a body similar to that of a human, it had a pair of strange triangular wings on its back, so it should be able to fly.

"This is Miracle Commerce's newly developed flying robot. It is also powered with crystal oil mined from the moon and it has the ability to fight on land, sea, and in the air. This is a weapon purely used for fighting, it is a puppet without any intelligence or thought. It has absolute servience, follows orders absolutely, absolutely efficient, and absolutely precise. The long range Smart Brains will control them. There are a total of ten sets of attack systems and weapons, so they can adapt to any battlefield."

Meng Qingwu added, "Miracle City has already produced fifty thousand of these flying robots. When they appear, they will definitely be the nightmares of the enemies."

The six giants were surprised when they heard this.

Miracle City's new weapons used crystal oil mined from the moon, therefore the weapons were several times stronger compared to before. This increased the might of the weapons and shields by several times, creating a qualitative leap.

The moon being developed had a large effect on Miracle City.

Just a hundred thousand Mech Suits and fifty thousand robot soldiers, this was already a force that wasn't small. Adding in the experts of the major powers, it was barely enough to fight the army of an empire level power. Miracle City also had the powerful warships. If they sent out several warships and several hundred Black Thunder fighters, they could fight against one or two empire level powers.

"As everyone can see, Miracle City's equipment have all been upgraded. Our fighters and ships have also been upgraded. There are also many other new weapons that everyone hasn't seen yet, especially the large breakthroughs in deep space weapons. Now, everyone please take a look."

Zero received Meng Qingwu's authorization and released another three dimensional image. This was a large iron bucket with two iron wings floating in deep space. After one looked at it carefully, they would see that it was not an iron bucket, but rather an impressive looking giant cannon.

Zero introduced it, "This is Miracle City's newest developed Deep Space Laser Cannon. It is positioned at five hundred thousand meters from the ground, being surrounded by a shallow astral wind layer. There is no living being on the continent that can approach it. The laser cannon is a special Source Energy Cannon that has highly condensed energy, as well as super long range accuracy. This is the most advanced weapon of Miracle City's newest generation. The Deep Space Laser Cannon can fire powerful laser beams from five hundred thousand meters up, directly sending a powerful attack at a target on the ground. This kind of weapon is unmatched on the battlefield."

The breathing of the alliance leaders all became heavy.

How terrifying of a weapon was this!

It hung in a place where people couldn't hit it and it could attack any target on the ground. This was like a sword of judgement hanging over their head, one that people couldn't resist at all!

Meng Qingwu saw everyone's expressions and revealed a faint smile, "The Deep Space Laser Cannon is Miracle City's newest developed weapon. There are only two of them so far, but we can use this battle to test out these Deep Space Laser Cannons!"

This kind of weapon that couldn't be taken care of appeared.

This was definitely a nightmare for the enemies.

This laser cannon could not only be used against enemies, it could also be used to attack the cities of enemies or any hidden structures they might have. With the continent's current level of war, there was nothing that could defend against this kind of weapon.

Zero released another three dimensional image, which was something very special looking. It was like a giant ball of iron that was filled with a dense array of holes on its surface.

Zero explained, "This is the Deep Space Missile Launcher Core, it has a stockpile of one hundred thousand missiles that are all controlled by a Smart Brain. It can fire two hundred missiles every second until it is out of missiles. If the Deep Space Laser Cannon is a fixed point weapon, this Deep Space Missile Launcher Core is a wide range god of destruction."

Meng Qingwu added, "We have also just made one of these honeycomb shaped missile launcher and we can use this battle to test its power. It's a pity that Miracle City's new ship factory hasn't been built yet, otherwise with the Miracle City's fleet, as well as the fighters, the Mech Suits, the robot soldiers, the deep space weapons, the land weapons, and many other things, there isn't a single force on the continent we need to fear."

Whether it was the Dragon Lord or the Elven King, they were completely convinced.

Not only were they convinced, they were shocked by Miracle City's military strength.

This power would dominate this world eventually.

"In short, before fighting the enemy, our alliance must be united." Meng Qingwu added in the end, "Otherwise, this time it's West Sea City and next time we won't know where else will be hit."

Thunder's Fury said, "We will fight together with Miracle City!"

"Right, right!" Burst Claw said without hesitation, "We will fight together with Miracle City!"

Meng Qingwu gave a satisfied nod. She began to layout the defensive plan and after spending time to take care of it all, the burning hot helmet auction sale had finally concluded.

Meng Yingying directly asked Chu Tian, "Chu Tian, Chu Tian, quickly tell me, how much are the sales this time? Quickly tell me!"

Chu Tian replied, "It's only four hundred and fifty million."

"Four hundred and fifty million? That much!" Meng Yingying was shocked by that number, but after thinking it over, she felt that there was a problem, "Only four hundred and fifty million for three million helmets? How is that possible!"

Chu Tian then said, "Idiot, this four hundred and fifty million is our Miracle City's profit. We only took 10% of the total, the other 90% was divided among the other six countries."

10% was four hundred and fifty million?

Then wouldn't the total be...Four billion and five hundred million!

Meng Yingying felt like she couldn't breath and a strong dizzy feeling instantly filled her head. Although she knew that the Miracle Helmets were profitable and she knew the data was three times higher than before, she never would have thought that it would create an astonishing sales number of four billion and five hundred million !

The Miracle Helmets were a bit troublesome to make, but the base cost was actually very low. The four billion and five hundred million were basically all profit, with each force gaining around six hundred and seventy million source stones. The emperors will be smiling so much that their mouths won't be able to close.

Chapter 632: Battle begins

The six empires were the biggest winners from this. Not to mention earning six-seven hundred million at once, they also took all kinds of benefits from Miracle City. Since Miracle City was this sincere and their source stones were temporarily held by Miracle City, how could they not give their all?

The Dark Night Forest sent forty thousand One Horned Sacred Beasts.

The Burning Heaven Empire sent forty thousand Flame Hawk Knights.

The Wind Moon Empire sent forty thousand Divine Saint Sky Horse Cavalry.

The Wild Beast Empire sent forty thousand Dual Legged Golden Dragon Knights.

The Dragon Territory sent out twenty thousand dragons. The Netherworld Sea sent out twenty thousand Soul Devouring Beasts.

These armies were the trump cards of the empires, with elites coming from the Wind Moon Empire, the Wild Beast Empire, and the Burning Heaven Empire. The Dark Night Elves didn't send an army, but the One Horned Sacred Beasts were flying spirit beasts with battle strength that was stronger than most level three demon beasts. The Dragon Territory directly sent out twenty thousand dragons. The most normal dragon were stronger than most level three demon beasts, so was there a need to mention one at the peak? The Netherworld Sea's Soul Devouring Beasts were high level undead monsters refined by the Liches, which were enough to send fear into people who just heard their names.

Although there was a total of only two hundred thousand.

This was a very terrifying battle strength.

Even if the Big Dry Empire's coalition had a larger army, if they met this kind of reinforcements, they would have to properly reconsider. The only problem was that it was already too late for the armies of the six forces to rush to the Forest of Chaos and the Transport Towers couldn't send all these people. Therefore, the six armies gathered in the Wind Moon Empire in the center of the continent, but even this took several days to complete.

The West Sea City wedding was already in hand.

The continent was filled with preparations. The helmet factories of the six empires kept producing helmets and finally sent the helmets to the owners in each corner of the world. If nothing unexpected happened, before the wedding started, the three million owed helmets would all be sent out.

"The big Dry Empire's army is beginning to move."

Meng Qingwu sat in the command center in the City Lord's Fort. After she obtained information, Miracle City's powerful information system was fully activated. There were dozens of Heaven's Eye ships that completely monitored the situation, they could clearly see every action the Big Dry Empire made.

Miracle City patiently waited without making a move.

They were mainly afraid of the tiny chance they could be injured.

There wasn't even the slightest chance of a mistake. They were aimed at West Sea City and had a clear purpose, so there definitely wouldn't be any problems.

The Big Dry Empire pretty much knew they couldn't escape Miracle City's surveillance, therefore they didn't try to hide anything. The over a million troops moved together and poured towards West Sea City like a wave. With their speed, they could reach West Sea City in around two days.

"What's the fastest the armies of the six countries can arrive?"

"Reporting to the vice City Lord, it would take three days at a minimum!"

Meng Qingwu tapped her fingers on the table as she watched the dense mass of life signatures on the three dimensional map the Smart Brain made. She quickly began to formulate a plan.

Fifty thousand Mech Suits, fifty thousand robot soldiers, four warships, twenty airships, three hundred fighters, the two Deep Space Laser Cannons and the Deep Space Missile Launcher Core, and around a hundred thousand in reinforcements from the alliance.

This was almost their entire battle strength being invested.

This power was enough to resist one empire's army, but if they wanted to hold the army of a million off for a day, it would be a lot of pressure.

Meng Qingwu thought for a bit before saying to the Smart Brain, "Zero, analyze the life signatures."

Zero was Miracle City's central Smart Brain, it had reached a processing speed of a hundred billion processes per second. It had the strongest intelligence out of all the Smart Brains and Zero was running hundreds of secondary Smart Brains as the core. These secondary Smart Brains were running other domains, such as the military, production, resources, the bank, the guards, the city, and everything else.

When Meng Qingwu gave the order to Zero, Zero sent this order to the Smart Brain in charge. The Smart Brain connected to the Heaven's Eye airships parked above the enemy and increased the intensity of the Undead Radar inside the Heaven's Eye airships. They deeply penetrated the formation of the Big Dry Empire and this data was sent back to the Smart Brain to form a three dimensional map.

The map in the command room changed. The life signatures changed shading based on strength, giving a clear result. It was like they had thought, even though the three empires had sent out a million elites, there was only a third of them that were trump card armies of these empires.

This was just around three hundred thousand.

This army's distribution was a bit interesting. There was a large faint colour and there were deeper colours passing through it, making it look like a long snake. Although this was good for an ambush, it couldn't hide from Miracle City's investigations.

The Smart Brain made quite a few marks on the map, "Vice City Lord, based on the movements and the strength distribution of the enemy army, we have marked the locations of their headquarters."

The army of a million was mainly made of airborne units. If there was no uniform distribution, that means they send down orders and this army would fall into chaos not long after, being unable to fight at all. So, for this kind of army, if they could destroy the command centers, it would create a large disruption to the entire army. In this kind of situation, their fighting power would greatly decrease.

Meng Qingwu quickly contacted the alliance headquarters.

Zero suddenly said, "Miss vice City Lord, our army still lacks a frontline commander."

Meng Qingwu had already thought of this problem. Although Miracle City could send orders from long distances or use the Smart Brain to command the army, it wasn't just Miracle City's army in this formation. There was also the allied armies from the Forest Alliance and the armies of the six countries. The frontline commander would need to coordinate between all these different armies.

Who could be the frontline commander?

Chu Tian walked into the hall at this time, "Young miss, you don't need to worry. Just let me be the frontline commander!"

"Stop playing around!" Meng Qingwu glared at him, "If you run off to fight, who will Yingying marry?"

"Isn't there still time?" Chu Tian heroically said, "I'll destroy the army of the three empires and then go to West Sea City to get married, there is no conflict between them!"

Chu Tian's words were very relaxed.

It gave people a misconception, like destroying the army of the three empires was as simple as swatting a group of flies.

Meng Qingwu felt a headache come on over this, "Are you really certain?"

Chu Tian nodded, "Young miss can be assured, nothing will happen!"

Meng Qingwu let out a sigh. She really couldn't find a suitable person right now and who other than Chu Tian had the qualifications to command all the armies on Miracle City's behalf? Although Meng Qingwu had a bit of fame, she herself was just too weak and couldn't serve as the frontline commander.

"Prepare the deep space weapons!"

"We will disintegrate the enemy's command system!"

When Meng Qingwu activated the weapons, Chu Tian had already left Miracle City. He was leading the Miracle City army away from the Forest of Chaos as quickly as possible, rushing to where the Big Dry Empire's army was to ambush them. Chu Tian thought that his current army wasn't enough, so he first set up a Space Warehouse near the battlefield. He used the Space Warehouse to bring large amounts of equipment form Miracle City, including the missile trucks, Source Energy Cannons, laser cannons, and all kinds of heavy weaponry.

At this time, Meng Qingwu's voice sounded in the communication device in Chu Tian's ear, "Pay attention, the enemy forces are less than three hundred miles away from you. Miracle City's deep space weapons had already been prepared and we will start with the deep space weapons!"

"Understood! We'll let them properly see it!" Chu Tian had a faint smile as he slightly raised his hand, "Have the missile team prepare themselves. Let us coordinate with the deep space weapons to give these fellow a large present!"

Thirty missile trucks on the peak slowly raised their launchers. Several hundred missiles were activated at the same time, aiming right in front of them.

"Fire!"

The thirty missile trucks filled with energy as hundreds of missiles created sparks in midair. They leaped into the sky from the missile trunks and turned into sparks of light in the blink of an eye.

This moment marked the true beginning of the battle!
