Chapter 861

(Unedited)

…

Jiwen Han is one of the known figures in Central Town and has amassed her wealth through different types of businesses. When the Mystique Shop opened she is one of the first business owners who cooperated with them and has gained their trust.

She is able to learn a lot of miraculous things that the Mystique Shop has produced and has gone deeper in her cooperation with them especially with the new stuff that the shop is creating.

It was at this time that she is in a meeting with Hua Xiao and is talking about new cooperation. It was a very lucrative deal which truly made her excited upon seeing the project proposal. At first, she did not understand what it is, however, upon learning that the proposal is about entertainment and a more improved version at that, it truly made her excited.

Moving images, beautiful sounds, and good acting skills... those are the things that immediately enter her mind upon learning of the project.

She immediately signed an agreement with the Mystique Shop and it made her really happy. However, she suddenly received a call from one of her managers in the lobby and this made her feel a bit annoyed.

Hua Xiao and her group went down the lobby as she escorted them out.

Right at this moment, she saw two groups arguing and it made her feel a bit dissatisfied looking at these young noble ladies.

"Miss Hua, I'm sorry that you saw this kind of thing in my company." She said with an apologetic gesture towards the woman behind her.

When the people in the lobby heard her words, everyone immediately gasped upon seeing the gorgeous lady walking behind Boss Jiwen Han.

Everyone immediately knew that this is one of the rumored goddesses from the Mystique Shop. She would always visit the town and many men would always want to see her.

Now that they are looking at her, they now know that sometimes rumors could also be understated. Because the woman is not just beautiful she has that perfect figure and a seductive aura, a goddess indeed.

Hua Xiao just gave a slight smile which almost made a lot of people faint while looking at her.

"Miss Han, when I was listening to your plans, I suddenly had a thought. Looking at those two ladies, why not make something like…" Hua Xiao suddenly whispered something in Jiwen Han's ears.

Seeing the two beauties being close, everyone felt a bit envious.

The fiasco did not last and Hua Xiao left the building. They already formed large cooperation with Jiwen Han's company, and this is to create the first-ever movie in the land.

They gave them a month to finish the whole thing. If this is on earth, then it would take many months before they can a full-length movie. However, with the use of magic, special effects, sets, and props became really easy and would not too much time. Hence, one month is already enough time to complete the movie.

After Hua Xiao left, Fenghai Broadcasting Company immediately became abuzz as they decided to recruit many actors and actresses this time. The audition became a bit chaotic as they almost accepted all of those that have come into the company.

Jiwen Han began contacting famous playwrights and scriptwriters for the project. She feels a bit excited about this new venture and she knew that it would be promising in the future.

She has seen the so-called moving picture screen and she immediately has many ideas in her mind. But of course, she would do this step by step, and the first step is to finish the movie which should last for about an hour.

…

Meanwhile, inside the laboratory, the group of researchers is testing the new and improved bipedal mech. The one leading this team is the Grand Magus Phil Mason.

Ever since he started working with the team of mages inside the laboratory, the Grand Magus has enjoyed every minute spending in researching the blueprints given by Shin Jiao. He was too amazed upon seeing the 'golem' and how it was able to move.

He was truly fascinated by its capability and its craftsmanship. Most of the golems he saw are powered by a mage's magic. Hence after the mage depleted his magic the golem would also not be able to move. However, these metal golems called 'mech' are different. It can go on and on unless its mana core is removed or depleted.

And this made him truly interested.

This time, they created a bipedal mech that has a transparent covering for the protection of its pilot. Plus it also has a retractable weapon installed on the side.

"Alright! Power it up!" Phil Mason said with a hint of excitement in his tone while the rest of the researchers are taking note of the proceedings.

"Power up complete, sir…" the mage monitoring the status reported.

"Good, it only took a second… That's a great improvement… Okay, let's test its movement first…" Phil Mason commanded.

The pilot nodded his head and slowly squeezes the throttle. Upon squeezing the mech lifted its foot immediately.

"Stop!" Phil Mason commanded suddenly.

The mech stopped with one of its legs in the air, and then suddenly before it could fall, it automatically balances itself.

"The balancing array is working fine, sir…"

"Good, good! Hahaha… Let's proceed!"

The mech began to do a lot of maneuvers and then they proceed to the weapon test which stunned every one of the precision of the mech's weapon.

"Well, I think this thing is ready for production… Tell that town head that he should train his soldiers properly, with this mech they can now go toe to toe with those bandits… Haha…" Phil Mason said as he turns around and left.

He still has a lot of experiments to do and so little time. The old man hops like a small child as he went inside his own laboratory.

The mages who saw this scene could only shake their heads. They knew that the Grand Magus temperament and his love for crafting and experimenting. So they just completed the rest and then reported it to Nariz Gumal who is also busy with her experiments inside the array department.

While everyone is busy, Shin Jiao on the other hand is actually outside of the ship. While talking to Loombwark Diggingsons, he learned of the many races and the situation in the Dragon's Ridge. In fact, he was amazed to discover that the place is like another kingdom within the Xinglo Kingdom. Humans dare not intrude in this place because of its chaotic nature.

Only those bandits and cutthroats would venture here and cause trouble.

The purpose of Shin Jiao's visit to the Dragon's Ridge is because he wanted to visit the Dwarven kingdom underground. Maybe he could get more rare ores and other harvests he can get in that place. And also he promised to help Loom to find her mother.

The two travel using the prototype bipedal and quad-legged or quad mechs. Shin Jiao is riding the more stable quad mech while Loom is riding the more agile bipedal mech.

They easily traversed through the forest and while going so Shin Jiao could see the excitement and happiness in her eyes.

From the speed they are going at around 60 to 80 kilometers per hour, they were able to gain more grounds. Although flying is faster, but Shin Jiao wanted to test the true capability of the machine. Hence this is like hitting two birds with one stone.

Not long later, it is already dark and the two decided to stop to rest for a while.

"Master Shin… this thing… does not need resting, right?" Loom asked as she checked the status of the mech through the screen.

"Well, not really. Since the metal used in creating these things are far stronger than normal alloys, so it would not suffer metal fatigue easily." Shin Jiao explained.

"How much mana energy does your mech still has?"

"About 70% left… and we have traveled more than 100 kilometers already…" Loom answered while looking at the display.

She also carefully cleaned the machine as if it is very precious to her.

Shin Jiao gave this mech to her a few days ago and she has treasured it ever since. She practiced a lot with it and would go almost everywhere with it gaining some jealous gazes from some people in the town.

Of course, this was part of the advertisement that Shin Jiao wanted to happen. And because of this, a lot of merchants began to inquire about it.

While the two are resting, they suddenly feel that their surrounding suddenly turned silent. It was as if all of the creatures in the forest have suddenly vanished and that no sound could be produced in the surroundings.

Even the rustling of the leaves through the wind could not be heard at all. And this made everything really suspicious.

Shin Jiao immediately spreads his spiritual sense and scanned their surroundings.. In doing so, the expression on Shin Jiao's face immediately changes.
