To Sai Lei, the problem now was whether to publicize the secrets of Corvus Gold or turn Corvus Gold into a mechanical weapon and sell it. The latter method would garner a greater profit. The longer the secrets of Corvus Gold remained discrete, the longer she could monopolize the Corvus Gold. But the time to withdraw Star coins would take even longer. 10,000 kg of Corvus Gold, one set of First Snowfall required 10kg of Corvus Gold, which meant that if she had to use up all of the Corvus Gold she had, she would need to create 1000 sets of First Snowfall.

The extreme numbers astonished Sai Lei, making her think twice about using all her Corvus Gold.

As a grandmaster machine engineer, she was not interested in using her valuable time to forge a low grade mechanical weapon like the First Snowfall. To the average mechanical martial artist, a mechanical weapon like the First Snowfall was considered a very powerful tool. However, in Sai Lei eyes, she would never perceive First Snowfall as something that was worth anything more than it should.

As a godlike mechanical engineer, Sai Lei felt that it is her duty to only manufacture mechanical weapons that are high-end.

She was now clear that the reason why Corvus Gold was so valuable was because of its suitability to manufacture low grade mechanical weapons. It was the nature of Corvus Gold that complemented low grade mechanic weapons, hence Corvus Gold was not as valuable as Spirit Jade. And people do not mind the heavier weight of Corvus Gold since they were used in low grade mechanic weapons.

Sai Lei decided to sell the Corvus Gold off instead.

She could earn 5 billion Star Coins from this transaction alone.

Since the sale was of raw material, Sai Lei needed to find a machine engineer like herself. First she would need to let the machine engineer understand the nature and qualities of the Corvus Gold. And for that to happen, the engineer would have to first witness and understand the working of her mechanical weapons.

Sai Lei needed them to understand how the Martial Spirit and the mechanical weapon could be combined together, and that would be the new trend that the mechanical weapons would take. She was not afraid of people of overtaking her. Her current standards, were raised from the entire warehouse full of Southern Cross Army’s mechanical weapons.

Who else was able to find a military warehouse of mechanical weapons?

In comparison, 5 billion still looked better. Both Tang Tian and herself required Star Coins.

The young girl’s journey was to garner a sea of Star Coins!

Looking past the Star Coins she could earn, Sai Lei thought of a way to propel her mechanical weapons to fame.

So far, there were several platforms for machine engineers to compete against each other. These competitions, especially those of the heavy weight categories, attracted machine engineers and mechanical martial artists from different Constellations. These influential events had the ability to proper her mechanic weapon to fame.

If she was able to win in several of these competitions, her mechanical weapon was bound to be famous among the Constellations.

In order to become the champion of a competition, one not just required a formidable mechanical weapon, but also complement it with a powerful mechanical martial artist.

Mechanical martial artist?

Sai Lei was confident that Bing was definitely the strongest mechanical martial artist she had ever seen. Despite having an old style of fighting, Bing possessed an unfathomable strength that allowed him to annihilate all other mechanical martial artists of his generation.

Sai Lei swifty forged a mechanical weapon for Bing.

First Snowfall was initially a rough and slipshod work because Sai Lei used it for experimental purposes as a mechanical weapon. Because Sai Lei’s aim now was to promote Corvus Gold as a material suitable for forging mechanical weapons, so she had to bring the cost of manufacturing the new mechanical weapon to under 5 million.

Corvus gold cost 500 thousand Star Coins per kilogram.

A single sphere of silver grade Spirit Jade, which weighed 100 grams, cost around 8 million Star Coins but required only 10 kilogram of Corvus Gold.

A similar sphere of silver grade Spirit Jade that weighed 50 grams was not cheaper by much. It required 3 million Star Coins. But its effectiveness was only a quarter of a sphere that weighed 100 grams.

In comparison, the effectiveness of 5 kilogram of Corvus Gold is half that of 100 grams sphere of silver grade Spirit Jade, but cost just 2.5 million. At this rate, the quality to price ratio was immediately clear.

The most important was the ratio between quality to price.

Soon after analyzing and evaluating quality and price factors, Sai Lei settled on the mechanical weapon.

The new mechanical weapon was called [Thundersnow]. Its manufacturing cost, which Sai Lei scrutinised diligently, was within 4.5 million. To the average man, the price was considered expensive. But in the mechanical world, for anyone who had family property would have the means to buy it.

What an enormous market for the new mechanical weapon!

Sai Lei felt like a gold-hungry monster with the urge to swallow the entire market of the Heaven’s Road.

Bing was definitely the mechanical martial artist!

Other than him, who else was more suitable?

Absolutely no one!

Bing could close his eyes and still become the champion of this alluring and eye catching matter. This wretched of a man, would definitely cry for this big sister!

Feeling excited, Sai Lei went to find Bing.

What she did not expect was that Bing would reject her without any consideration or even hesitation.

“There is nothing to discuss! I don’t mind practicing martial arts indoors because it is something I love to do. But to expose my skills in front of everyone, you think I’m tired of living? I am a Soul General who knows how to operate a mechanical weapon. This will cause people to be interested in my skills. Before you know it, the Onyx Soul, Honourable Marital group and Clan Union will want to capture me. As a former veteran of the Southern Cross Army, they will want to capture me even more!”
