Chapter 356: Small Conspiracies Are Often Followed by Big Conspiracies
Wen Rui actually didn't tell the truth.
Is he greedy?
Of course I am greedy.
It would be a waste if you don't be greedy. He traveled thousands of miles to become a god just for money. Even the Heavenly Court doesn't allow him to be stingy. If he can't be corrupt, what's the point of being a god?
More than 90% of the immortal-grade materials that disappeared from the Tiangongjian warehouse are still piled up on the portable secret realm Jin'ao Island. The research and development costs of developing immortal-grade nanorobots are just a drop in the bucket.
Wen Rui had no psychological burden at all for blatantly lying in front of all the gods. After all, the things were well hidden, and nothing could be found even if he was stripped naked and searched.
There is a saying that goes “Catch an adulterer, catch their couple; catch a thief, take away the stolen property”. As long as no dirty items are found, then there is no greed.
The question is about R&D expenses. If I continue to ask, the question is what do you know about drug development? Do you know that some expensive drug raw materials may only be worth a few dollars, but the R&D cost is billions?
Even if there is an expert who can break open the teleportation channel to the entrance of his secret realm, don't forget that there is also a Ten Absolute Formation inside.
Based on the qualities of Li Jing, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, they will all be dead if they enter the Ten Deadly Formations, without any exception.
It is worth mentioning that Cao Bao died in the Red Water Formation among the Ten Absolute Formations during the Battle of Conferred God.
Wen Rui not only wants to covet all the existing treasures of the Tiangongjian, but also plans to covet all the immortal-grade materials collected by the Heavenly Court in the next thirty years.
Moreover, he was blatantly greedy, in front of the Jade Emperor and all the gods, and after he was done with the greed, he still wanted to receive unanimous praise and commendations.
This step had already been planned when he stretched his evil hands towards the Tiangongjian warehouse.
The two nano-fairy soldier prototypes manufactured by Wenrui are very expensive, but through continuous testing and optimization of these two prototypes, the cost of mass-produced nano units has been reduced to a bargain price.
In reality, it is only 70% of the standard long spear of the Heavenly Soldiers.
In other words, if the Heavenly Court places an order with the Tiangongjian and allocates resources to complete this major replacement of all personnel with standardized weapons, Wen Rui can make nearly half of the profit from it.
Wen Rui can also recycle all the old weapons replaced by the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, melt them down into basic fairy-grade materials, and then give them to everyone to take.
The most interesting thing is that the so-called blood-dripping recognition of ownership process of the Ruyi Immortal Soldiers equipped to the heavenly soldiers and generals was completely a bluff by Wen Rui.
The only owner of all Ruyi Immortal Weapons is their inventor Wen Rui.
If this plan succeeds, it would be equivalent to Heaven paying Wen Rui to manufacture a large number of immortal-level nanorobots, and also disarming the heavenly soldiers and generals.
If Wen Rui is safe, the sky will be clear in heaven. If he rebels, the Jade Emperor will send 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to attack him. The golden medals of Ruyi Immortal Soldiers in the hands of the soldiers and generals will be their death warrants!
No one was aware of this extremely sinister and treacherous intention. Wen Rui managed his facial expressions very well. He spoke eloquently and fluently in the Lingxiao Palace, giving people the impression that he was very professional.
He fully demonstrated his style as the Emperor Jie Tian who was in charge of the Creation Palace. His understanding of the way of creation had already surpassed the times and was in another dimension.
Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao's understanding of magic weapons was limited to how to plunder, but their understanding of how to make them was very superficial. They were stunned by Wen Rui's highly professional and even more deceptive nonsense and didn't know where to refute.
"Your Majesty, please do not trust Wen Rui's slander!"
Li Jing was extremely anxious, so he had to bite the bullet and argue: "If the heavenly soldiers and generals rashly change their equipment, they will definitely not be able to adapt for a while. Moreover, the strange weapons he just created have never been used in battle, and their reliability is unknown. If there is a problem, it will definitely ruin everything!"
"Whether there is a problem with the Ruyi Immortal Weapon, you, a rat who has no Taoism and is a mortal deity, can't tell. You can only make alarmist remarks, like a dog barking at the sun."
Wen Rui said confidently: "True gold is not afraid of fire. Many gods have gathered in the Lingxiao Palace, among whom there are many masters who are proficient in refining weapons. This emperor dares to display the Ruyi Immortal Weapon in the Lingxiao Palace because he is not afraid of the gods' criticism."
At this point, Wen Rui turned to the immortals standing on both sides of the hall and bowed, saying, "Please appreciate this treasure. If there are any flaws in this treasure, please point them out in public. As the saying goes, jade cannot be made into a useful object without being polished. It doesn't matter if there are problems. This is just a sample and there is still room for improvement." "Junior Brother Wen, if the heavenly soldiers and generals cannot equip this treasure, can you give it to me privately? I tested it twice in the Tianwu Arena last time. When I go back and see my own life-long magic weapon that I have used for hundreds of years, it won't be as good as it used to be."
"The ingenuity used to create this treasure is exquisite. The dust and mustard seeds gather and disperse to create myriad treasures. One gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. It is quite in line with the rhythm of Taoism."
"Although it is of the fairy treasure grade, it excels in its infinite transformations. It is invisible yet tangible. I admire it."
"Although the material of the mustard dust is rare, it is not a rare treasure. If the manufacturing method can be mastered by ordinary immortal craftsmen, mass production will not be difficult."
……
The immortals in the hall were talking about it, and the public opinion was becoming more and more favorable to Wen Rui.
Wen Rui's immortal-level nanorobots have groundbreaking thinking, breaking the inherent thinking of immortals in refining magic weapons and divine weapons, and the actual effects they demonstrate are indeed extraordinary.
The key point is that the raw materials used are not really some peerless natural treasures that were created at the beginning of the world and contain the power of primordial chaos.
In the ancient world, refining magic weapons was similar to cooking in later generations.
The finest ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods.
Top-grade natural treasures do not require complicated processing techniques. They can become extremely powerful after just a little carving.
For example, Laojun's gourd and banana fan are processed by picking them from the vine.
It is particularly rare that ordinary materials can be combined together to create something extraordinary and transform decay into something magical.
Just as sand can be turned into chips after precision processing, carbon can be processed into carbon fiber, which is used to make fighter jet tails.
The real treasure is the crystallization of technology.
Be it diamonds, jade, antiques, Dzi beads, gems...
No matter how expensive it is, it cannot compare to the technology contained in a tiny chip.
There are many knowledgeable experts in refining instruments among the immortals. The more they look at the golden mist, the more they feel that Wen Rui's refining skills are extraordinary and simply unbelievable.
There are many hidden talents in heaven, and there are also gods with great powers who have noticed the problem, but they tacitly chose to remain silent.
For example, a certain Saint Mother Ancestor who was extremely skilled in the gold element had already seen that no matter who refined those mustard seeds, they would only obey the will of Wen Rui, but she just smiled gracefully and said nothing.
She didn't know who Wen Rui wanted to harm by laying such a secret, but she was sure that it wouldn't harm her family, so of course she went with the flow and kept it a secret for her good disciple.
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother are both very accomplished in Taoism, but these two noble ladies are born with great fortune and luck. No matter what treasures they want, God will deliver them to them.
Therefore, their equipment refining level is relatively mediocre.
Of course, they don't need any equipment refining skills.
Seeing the praises from all the immortals in the hall, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Just imagine a hundred thousand pagoda-supporting heavenly soldiers forming a battle formation, and the battle ending in an instant with pagodas flying everywhere. That scene is quite exciting, showing the might of heaven as powerful as a prison!
Otherwise, if the heavenly army with crude immortal weapons was defeated by a group of monkeys in the future, where would he put his face?
