When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 868 - 340: The Authority Won Back (Part 3)

"Commander, don’t rush to go. It’s true that there are plenty of resources in the City Lord’s mansion, but they may not be of great use to someone of your level," said Old Jia hurriedly.

"Then can I borrow something from the president’s vault?" Li Xiu blinked and asked.

"You want to steal treasures from those who granted you authority, do you think that’s feasible?" Old Jia replied with a bitter smile.

"The resources in the City Lord’s mansion are too low-level, and borrowing from the president’s vault is not an option, so isn’t my Jade Token just a chicken rib?" Li Xiu frowned.

"Of course, you can’t borrow from the president’s vault, but it’s not only the president who has a vault in the city. There are several aristocratic families with thousands of years of heritage, and they also have many good things," Old Jia squinted and said.

"The Four Families!" Li Xiu’s eyes lit up, and he finally figured out how to use this thing.

But on second thought, even if the Four Families have good things, they won’t just let him choose at will. Even if he visits the Four Families, at best, they might show him some scraps in deference to the Jade Token.

Just like in the myth where Sun Wukong went to borrow treasures from the Dragon King, the Dragon King only gave him some junk to brush him off.

If it weren’t for Sun Wukong being shameless and refusing to leave the Dragon King’s Crystal Palace, he wouldn’t have gotten the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and those armors and boots.

Even then, the Dragon King only gave Sun Wukong things of little use, nothing that could truly be called treasures.

Except for the ability to change size, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel wasn’t useful for much else, and paled in comparison to genuine powerful artifacts.

If Li Xiu went to borrow things from the Four Families, could he really expect them to bring out the good stuff for him to choose from? Common sense says it’s definitely impossible.

After all, the Jade Token in his hand is not the imperial edict for confiscation, unlike Wei Xiaobao’s confiscation of Ao Bai’s home where all treasures were laid out.

"Old Jia, what do you think I can borrow from the Four Families?" Li Xiu had no choice but to throw the question back to Old Jia.

Since this idea was Old Jia’s suggestion, he must have a plan and wouldn’t just send Li Xiu on a fool’s errand.

"Commander, take a look at this." Old Jia pulled out an old notebook from his pocket and handed it to Li Xiu.

Li Xiu flipped through a few pages of the notebook, and his face was filled with a continuous smile.

The notebook recorded what each family had received on certain dates, every item listed was a treasure worth a fortune.

"Old Jia, you really helped me a lot," Li Xiu said joyfully.

"Commander, although these items are recorded here, their dates are ancient, it’s hard to say whether they are still with the families. Whether they can be borrowed depends on your luck," Old Jia said.

Li Xiu understood Old Jia’s point. Yes, the items were with the families, but if they didn’t admit it, he had no way to force them, so borrowing needed strategic negotiation.

"Don’t worry, I’ll have a good chat with them," Li Xiu said with a smile.

After talking with Old Jia all night, Li Xiu asked everything he could think of, but Old Jia didn’t reveal much.

Li Xiu knew that Old Jia surely knew more, but there were certain things he couldn’t disclose.

Old Jia didn’t know much about Space City either, nor about who would be in danger, so Li Xiu could only inquire about Guan Qingzhai.

According to Old Jia, Guan Qingzhai was personally recruited back by the president, just like Li Xiu now, Guan Qingzhai was in the limelight for a time within the Longevity Heaven.

Of course, Guan Qingzhai’s rise to fame was somewhat different from Li Xiu’s. Li Xiu fought his way through the ranks upon entering the Longevity Heaven, earning every accolade.

Guan Qingzhai was different; upon arriving at the Longevity Heaven, the president directly granted him the Jade Token, making him influential and causing chaos among the major aristocratic families.

Li Xiu wasn’t interested in these historical details; he just wanted to know what level Guan Qingzhai was when he followed the president to face danger. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

If it turned out that Guan Qingzhai was a Divine Position Level figure and still didn’t return alive, Li Xiu needed to reconsider whether he should escape now.

After all, he still had to go out and preside over the Trial Taker competition, using that as an excuse to escape into the deep mountains and forests, even if he couldn’t hide from the president for a lifetime, he could lay low for a few months until things calmed down.

He had just been promoted to Spirit Casting, and there were only a few months left until the time on the Jade Token expired. Elevating to a Divine Position Level was indeed difficult. Li Xiu enjoyed adventures, not surrendering himself; running was still the wisest choice.

Old Jia’s answer was Spirit Casting Peak, which Li Xiu had difficulty believing, planning to confirm with the president again when the opportunity arose, or inquire from others. Ba Ye and Wan Chaocun should know something about Guan Qingzhai.

Li Xiu still found this matter full of doubts. If Guan Jinghao were Guan Qingzhai’s descendant and had to strive like Guan Qingzhai, so the president tolerated the existence of Space City, then what exactly could Guan Jinghao rely on to strive?

Even at the lowest, Guan Qingzhai’s power was Spirit Casting Third Form. Although Guan Jinghao was a Trial Taker too, Space City had pitifully scarce Gemstone and Trial Gate resources. Having barely left Space City, how would Guan Jinghao elevate his Trial Taker level?

In Li Xiu’s three years at Space City, he saw neither Guan Jinghao controlling Demon Armor nor showcasing Trial Taker methods. Without special circumstances, he hadn’t even left the City Lord’s Mansion.

If Li Xiu hadn’t seized the Jade Token, what could Guan Jinghao possibly contribute in a critical situation?

"Would Asura agree to exchange the Jade Token so readily for Rakshasa’s life under Guan Jinghao’s instruction?" Li Xiu thought he might still need to take a trip to Space City.

Even if seizing the Jade Token didn’t alter anything, Guan Jinghao must pay a price, as Li Xiu remembered Cullinan No.2 should be at Space City.
