Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2952: Chapter 58: Divine Martial World Outer Void Defensive Formation Plan (Part 4)

Unexpectedly, even he didn’t anticipate that after many years, Tan Tai Yingda would actually return alive.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Tan Tai Yingda took out a jade-like item and carefully handed it over: "Senior Xiuwu, this is one of the resources that I obtained while braving life-threatening dangers. I had someone appraise it, and it seems to be a core component of the Crystal Ancient Battle Armor, but it’s severely damaged. However, even so, the buyer offered a high price for it."

"This is the only thing in my home that’s worth even a little, and I hope you can accept it, Senior, as a token of my gratitude." Tan Tai Yingda said with utmost respect.

"Oh? A core component of the Crystal Ancient Battle Armor?" Chen Xiuwu took it and glanced at it, habitually appraising it, "It is indeed a core chip of the battle armor, but it’s severely damaged, making it impossible to determine its grade. However, you must understand that the chips unearthed on the Ancient Battlefield are mostly from the most basic soldier-level armor of the Crystal Ancient Tribe... Given the severe damage, it’s worth at most three to five top-quality Spirit Stones."

However, the few and elite numbers of the Crystal Ancient Tribe mean that even the most basic soldier-level Crystal Ancient Battle Armors have combat power around Level Eleven. Even if it’s just the core chip of a Level Eleven armor, for someone at the Purple Abode Realm like Tan Tai Yingda, it’s indeed a decent find.

"So, Yingda, besides expressing gratitude, you presumably have other matters you wish to discuss?" Chen Xiuwu casually fiddled with the armor core without much concern.

He mused that keeping it was useless to him, and he might as well give it to [Jinlu] to play with.

Caught off guard by Chen Xiuwu’s accurate guess, Tan Tai Yingda felt a little embarrassed, yet he brazenly said, "Wise Old Ancestor Xiuwu, I want to ask your esteemed company for a loan to purchase a small Void Ferry."

As soon as he said this, Chen Xiuwu’s face became slightly more serious: "Void Ferries are scarce nowadays, and even a second-hand one is worth dozens of top-quality Spirit Stones. I’m afraid your family can’t afford such a loan, as the risk is quite substantial..."

Truth be told, it’s been three or four hundred years since Dantai and jade passed away, and the bond between the two families has naturally faded over time.

If it was a minor favor, Chen Xiuwu would help, but in business, he can’t harm his own interests for the benefit of others.

"As your elder, I still have to advise you. If you wish to continue exploring the Domain of Destruction, it’s best to start by cooperating with powerful families. One lucky venture doesn’t guarantee constant luck." Chen Xiuwu kindly advised.

In Void Sea exploration, there’s no absolute safety.

Any exploration carries the risk of unforeseen accidents. The strong can resist unexpected events better, while someone like Tan Tai Yingda, who is weaker, may not be so lucky if another accident occurs.

"Yes, yes, senior’s teaching is correct. Yingda was reckless." Tan Tai Yingda was sweating on his forehead and felt a bit weak.

At this moment.

Suddenly, the communicator on Chen Xiuwu’s desk rang, and as he pressed a button, a hasty inquiry came from the front desk.

Upon hearing it, his expression immediately turned cheerful, and he couldn’t help scolding: "Why inform anyone about this? Quickly bring those three little ancestors in. What, they’re already in? Alright, alright~~"

As he said this, he hurriedly hung up the call.

Outside the CEO’s office, a steady middle-aged man had already led three young children inside.

The three little ones were dressed in the latest fashionable children’s attire, sharing about three-quarters resemblance in their facial features though their temperaments were entirely different: one moved with the swift power of a tiger or dragon, exuding dominance; another was slender, as if swaying like a tender willow, and the third possessed a graceful elegance like a gentleman.

Though still young, a hint of remarkable demeanor already emanated from them.

Chen Xiuwu immediately greeted them with a beaming smile: "Youyue, Jinlu, Youxuan, are you off from Clan School? How come you have time to come play at your old ancestor’s place?"

Seeing the doorway and then Chen Xiuwu’s reaction, Tan Tai Yingda quickly stood up sensibly from the sofa and moved to the side, waiting quietly.

The Three Little Ones of the Wang Family paid their respects solemnly: "Greetings to the Xiuwu Great Ancestor."

"No need for such formality." Chen Xiuwu laughed kindly, taking various candies and treats from a nearby cabinet to welcome them, "I’ve heard from our Chen Hao Ran about your deeds. You’ve all been studying so diligently that even our troublesome boy has become more earnest under your influence."

Chen Xiuwu had also heard that his son Hao Ran had now taken Wang Youyue as his leader, following him loyally.

The boy, tsk tsk, has sharp instincts; as expected of my Chen family boy, he knows how to back the right horse even at such a young age.

Before long, the Three Little Ones briefly explained their purpose for the visit.

"You want to create some holographic game and need specific Void Navigation Maps and all related data from our company for design reference?" Chen Xiuwu was a bit surprised, but he immediately agreed, "No problem, of course not... With you three asking, what are mere data to be considered? You could take the whole company if you wished."

Standing at the side, Tan Tai Yingda kept his head down but was inwardly puzzled.

Who exactly are these three little ones that even Old Ancestor Xiuwu is buttering up to them?

Poor Tan Tai Yingda had only been back for less than half a year, with over half that time spent recuperating, completely unaware of the Three Little Ones’ background.

Had he returned even slightly earlier, he might have heard great tales from others about Bao Sheng’s accomplishment of marrying three wives and naturally come to know the identities of the Three Little Ones.

Just then, Chen Xiuwu happened to hand over that armor crystal core to Wang Jinlu, saying, "I was planning to give this little item to you, it’s perfect that you’ve arrived so I wouldn’t have to make a trip."

Wang Jinlu took the severely damaged armor core chip, glanced at it, and slightly frowned: "Old Ancestor Xiuwu, this seems like a core component of a Level Fifteen Crystal Ancient Battle Armor. Where did you get this?"

"Level Fifteen?" Chen Xiuwu was stunned, his face turning serious, "Jinlu, are you sure? I saw no difference from a Level Eleven one."

"Although the chip is severely damaged, there is a difference in the core material compared to a Level Eleven." Wang Jinlu became extremely serious discussing the professional matter, "I’ve disassembled our family’s Level Fifteen armor with my mother and seen the armor core inside. Though the two appear similar, the chip’s information-bearing capacity and energy impact resistance are completely different. By carefully distinguishing the aura and energy fluctuations of the chip, the difference can be ascertained."

To dare to dismantle a Level Fifteen Crystal Ancient Battle Armor for analysis, few families aside from the Wang Family would dare.

Hearing her analysis, Chen Xiuwu immediately trusted her judgment.

However, in his mind, he was startled, immediately turning his stern gaze towards Tan Tai Yingda: "You kid, just where did you get this thing?"
