Meng Chao and Luo Hai were already working very closely with each other.

If being more specific, Soul Breaking Saber was working with a large weapon manufacturer to create a brand new saber specifically for the One Hundred Saber Techniques, and it was created based on the characteristics of the future version of the technique.

The strength, arc, thickness, sharpness, materials, weight, center of gravity, and every detail of the saber could bring out the full potential of the future One Hundred Saber Techniques.

This saber was mainly targeted at the low-end and middle-tier market. More specifically, it was meant for normal students and soldiers.

Based on Luo Hai’s words, it would be the first saber for youngsters.

As long as they could provide thirty percent of the city’s sabers for middle school and elementary school, then get a few deals from the army, the profit would definitely be much higher than creating one or two amazing weapons that had a lot of harsh requirements to use.

Since it would be a beginner’s saber, it would not be very suitable to sell it using Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu as the selling point.

Coincidentally, they could have Meng Chao serve as the spokesperson. He could work together with Luo Hai, and Luo Wu would train up two children like this.

The two youths contacted each other often. Hence, it was not difficult for Luo Hai to learn about Project 1024. He immediately mentioned that he could get a lot of sponsors from his circle of friends.

“Isn’t Dragon City University’s martial arts course the main camp of the Overkill Style? Our new project is going to kind of go up against the Overkill Style. Why are you getting in on this?” Meng Chao could not understand.

“When we’re doing business, we only talk business. Practicing the Overkill Style and investing in the new style isn’t a conflicting matter,” Luo Hai answered with a grin. “Anyway, last time, after we sparred against each other in the Supernatural Tower, I was impressed.

“My dad also said that you and your supporter are unfathomable. I am to constantly keep an eye on you. If you do something, I have to participate in it, for that’s how I can become rich as well. Hey, we’ve fought together before. Since you have a good project now, you have to let me join in on the fun.”

Meng Chao was lacking money and resources, so he naturally did not reject the offer.

When he saw Luo Hai joining his project so readily, a thought appeared in his head. “If the new martial art style is born, would you switch to the new style?”

Luo Hai immediately said, “Sure. As long as you can do one thing, I will immediately give up on the Overkill Style and learn the new martial art. I’ll even become your disciple!”

“No way, what is it?” Meng Chao could not believe it.

“It’s very simple. Once you create the brand new martial art, come to Dragon City’s martial arts course and defeat all the Overkill Style martial artists…

“Ah, you don’t have to defeat ‘all’ of them. You can just choose some five hundred martial arts course students, including me, and beat us up. That’ll do,” Luo Hai said with a smile.

Meng Chao thought about it.

“Sure. That’s a promise,” he said very seriously.

At that point, it was Luo Hai’s turn to be dumbfounded.

With Ning Shewo, Yan Organization, and the Luo father-son duo’s support, Meng Chao went to Fengshui Medical Center to look for Dr. Su Yuan.

Then, through Dr. Su Yuan, he contacted a few manufacturers of medical cabins.

“Over the past few years, medical technology in Dragon City has been developing really quickly. All sorts of medical cabins have been created, and the competition in the market is really intense. The frequency at which you replace old models with new ones is also very high.

“The rate of profit with them is very high, but the capital and risks involved when researching them are even higher. There are plenty of products which are no longer in use even though their weaknesses aren’t actually very obvious, and it’s a real pity for them.

“If we can modify medical cabins into cultivation cabins, we will be expanding the market by several times its size. Many of the technology and production lines will be used again. You can dilute the cost and avoid risks as well as increase your profit, thereby getting multiple birds with one stone.

“We already have Yan Organization, the Fire Relayer Foundation, and Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu supporting this, so we don’t lack money. We just want to rent some medical cabins from you to modify them and do research on them. We’ll just be reusing your trash, so the price you have to pay for failure won’t be high, but if we succeed, the return on investment is going to be shocking!”

Meng Chao did not go overboard with his request.

Medical cabins were the newest technology, and many of the factories were still groping around in the dark when it came to them. When a factory managed to win a tender in a hospital, it meant that another factory would have no one asking after its product, and the investments put into researching and developing the product would go down the drain.

But the standards of good and bad for medical cabins and cultivation cabins were completely different.

Medical cabins which were not mature enough, did not fit the standards, and had flaws could be developed into cultivation cabins that were suited to create people for the Ultimate Style.

Just like that, in a short five days, everything was ready but one last thing.

As Gu Jianbo looked at the large amount of money in his account, the cultivation resources in his storage, and the brand new medical cabins, he could hardly believe his eyes.

“Meng Chao, you are simply… amazing!”

If he had not known that Meng Chao came from a public renting house and a key high school in the region, he would have begun to wonder if this kid wasn’t a bastard of some Deity Realm elite.

But Meng Chao knew that it was not his doing.

Instead, it was due to the value of the Ultimate Style. It had run into all sorts of suitable conditions, and the timing was right. The conditions were ripe, so everything fell into place.

Even if he were not around, if Gu Jianbo persisted for a few more years, he would have seen the solution, and with the unique charm of the Ultimate Style, he could have attracted Yan Organization, the production factories of the medical cabins, and all the other major forces of power to invest in his project.
