Even though he didn't think much of Shamrock Enterprises, the mysterious Leaf King was still a force to be reckoned with. However, this person didn't seem to care at all and even secretly controlled the directors, which was equivalent to controlling a portion of the Realm Mountain's authority.
This was what Zhi Dong feared the most. The Realm Mountain was the core of the Human Domain, and anyone who controlled it was far more powerful than an Outerverse Lord.
This person also had the support of the head inquisitor and Elder Chan, as well as the troublesome Leon's Armada.
In the entire Fifth Mainland, there weren't many people that Zhi Dong feared, and Lu Yin just so happened to be one of the youngest.
Flying Willows and Flying Flowers weren't as important as Lu Yin had expected. They were Envoys and top powerhouses in the Fifth Mainland, but they weren't the strongest in the Aurora Corporation.
The Aurora Stronghold was huge, and it would take at least a few years to tour the entire place.
Zhi Dong brought Lu Yin around the core area, such as the construction of radiant-grade spacecraft and black-hole-grade Aurora spacecraft. He even showed Lu Yin their newly developed black-hole-grade collapsible spacecraft.
"Collapsible spacecraft can break through to the black-hole-grade?"
Lu Yin was astonished. Previously, collapsible spacecraft had been at most radiant-grade because the collapsible parts couldn't withstand the pressure of a black-hole-grade spacecraft.
Zhi Dong was helpless. "We already have the technology, but we don't have enough materials. We can only make a few, and most of them are custom-made. The buyer has to pay for the materials for the collapsible parts."
"Speaking of materials, Zhi Dong, I have some here. Would your company be able to help me make universal armor according to the blueprints?" Lu Yin took out the blueprints.
Zhi Dong took a look. "No problem. Universal armor is simple, but what are the materials that Alliance Leader Lu has?
Some materials are very difficult to smelt and combine. "
Lu Yin took out the materials and spread them out on the ground.
Someone behind Zhi Dong exclaimed, "Pentecost gold?"
He excitedly stepped forward and picked up a piece of metal that emitted a faint grey glow.
Lu Yin looked at Zhi Dong curiously.
Zhi Dong replied, "Please don't mind him, Alliance Leader Lu. He's an engineer of the Aurora Stronghold and is obsessed with manufacturing. He has some understanding of all sorts of materials."
Lu Yin nodded.
"Star Mother Stone, Orbit Lines, Colored Glass, they are all extremely rare materials. Especially Star Mother Stone, it should have gone extinct. How could it be here?" That person was agitated as he muttered to himself.
Another person walked out from behind Mr. Zhi. It was an old man, and he hesitantly looked at a thin piece of metal on the ground that looked like a plant. He squatted down to examine it carefully before looking up at Lu Yin. "Is this alive?"
Lu Yin raised a brow. Alive?
...

"Alliance Master Lu, this is a living metal," the person from before looked at the metal in the elder's hand in shock and asked in disbelief.
.................................

No way! "The person who had recognized the winterdust gold looked up in agitation and glared at Lu Yin." You want to use Starsource to make universal armor?
....................
"Make universal armor from living metals?
I don't agree either. "..."...
................ While they could not recognize all of the metals.
They recognized all of them, but just a few of them were enough to shock them.
Lu Yin had Ban Jiu verify these materials, but he had not been able to recognize even a tenth of them. Here, however, he had already recognized most of them.
The Aurora Company truly lived up to its name. Even though these people had been promoted to management, their knowledge was not to be trifled with. Every one of them had sharp eyes.
Lu Yin watched the scene unfold. So what if the materials were precious? Once they were made into universal armor, he would be able to upgrade it.
"Alliance Master Lu, you've really given me a difficult problem. To be honest, these materials are very precious, but it would be too wasteful to use them all to make universal armor. You won't be able to fully utilize the properties of these materials. Take that Starmother, for example. If you used it to make a folding part of a spacecraft, it would be enough to support a Cosmic grade spacecraft." Zhi Dong sighed.
Lu Yin shrugged. "I have no choice. I've offended too many people. Zhi Dong, you should know that I was once chased by the Seven Skygods."
At Zhi Dong's level, he naturally knew about the Seven Skygods.
"That's too wasteful. It's impossible to make universal armor. I don't agree. That's a blasphemy to these materials!" the elder shouted.
Although the people around him did not say much, they all had the same expression.
Lu Yin understood their stubbornness. "Zhi Dong, I'll pay you the full cost of the materials."
The others looked at Zhi Dong with pleading eyes.
Zhi Dong was helpless. "Alliance Master Lu, is it possible for the Aurora Company to purchase these materials?
Of course, the Aurora Company can also provide the life-saving items that Alliance Master Lu needs. "
Lu Yin refused. "It's a matter of life and death. Even if these materials are wasted, it's enough to improve the universal armor's performance by just a little bit."
Zhi Dong was helpless. If anyone else had brought these materials to the Aurora Fort, they would have left some behind no matter how high their status was. However, he could not use force on Lu Yin.
The others tried to persuade him, but Lu Yin refused as well. Even Zhi Dong's offer of a power vessel that could defend against a powerhouse with a power level of 600,000 was rejected.
Lu Yin believed that once these materials were made into universal armor and upgraded, it would be comparable to the Cloud Landing Robe.
"That's too wasteful. Even if these materials were made into universal armor, it would only be able to defend against an attack with a power level of 400,000 at most. It would be very difficult to break through the limits of an Emissary. Alliance Master Lu, please reconsider. The Aurora Company can provide you with even better protection, which is more in line with your wishes," the elder pleaded.
"Senior, can the materials compare to these?" Lu Yin retorted.
The elder was stunned. "As long as the defense is better, why do you need better materials?"
They could not understand Lu Yin's thinking.
Lu Yin was like a wastrel who only used the most expensive materials and did not use the best.
Zhi Dong stopped the others from trying to persuade Lu Yin any further. Lu Yin did not agree, and if they continued, it would only cause resentment.
"These materials are only a portion of what I have. If Zhi Dong is willing, I'm willing to make a deal with the Aurora Company. As for items, they are similar materials." Lu Yin smiled.
Zhi Dong and the others were shocked. "You have more materials?"
Lu Yin nodded. "Not right now, but I'll have some in the future."
Zhi Dong did not believe him. The Aurora Company searched the entire universe for rare materials, and even the Hall of Honor could not compare to them. Most of the materials in the universe were concentrated in the Aurora Fort, and they only lacked rare materials from ancient eras. However, Lu Yin had these materials. Could it be that his previous guesses about this kid had been true?
Lu Yin had continuously taken out foreign objects in the Outerverse to challenge those at a higher realm than him.
Others had long since guessed that Lu Yin had discovered the ruins of an ancient power, and those foreign objects had come from that era. Thus, these materials should be the same as well.
"You really have more?" the elder asked with an excited expression.
Lu Yin nodded. "Since you said so, I have more."
"Alright, Alliance Master Lu, if you have more, you can sell them to the Aurora Company. I guarantee that you'll be satisfied with the price."
Lu Yin had already thought of a price, which was a custom-made spacecraft that belonged to the Great Eastern Alliance. He wanted the Great Eastern Alliance to be unique.
"Sigh, what a pity. It's too wasteful to make universal armor. How about this?" The person who had discovered the wuteng chen gold looked at Lu Yin. "We'll make a miniature armor for you."
"What's a miniature armor?" Lu Yin was curious.
"Miniature armor is a type of armor that's similar to skin. It's the armor that fits the human body the best when it comes to combat. Humans won't even be able to sense its existence, and it won't affect their movements. Universal armor is just a tool that ordinary people use to travel through outer space. It's completely useless, and it's also inconvenient for combat."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "Better than universal armor in terms of defense?"
"Defense depends on the materials used. The advantage of miniature armor is that most people won't be able to see it."
Lu Yin nodded and smiled. "Alright, miniature armor it is."
It took much longer to make miniature armor than universal armor, so Lu Yin stayed at the Aurora Stronghold during this time.
"Brother Lu, aren't you afraid that they'll steal the materials?" Luo Shen muttered softly as her eyes darted around.
Lu Yin laughed. "Don't worry, they won't."
Over the next few days, Lu Yin was brought around by Chairman Zhi. Lu Yin was very interested in the Aurora Stronghold. "Chairman Zhi, how strong is the Aurora Stronghold's defenses?"
Chairman Zhi smiled. "A million."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "A million?
Even Master Yuan can't break through? "
Chairman Zhi smiled, but he didn't continue the topic.
Lu Yin looked down and saw a huge city. There were no less than ten billion people living in the Aurora Stronghold, and they were all employees of the Aurora Corporation as well as their families.
Among them were the Mavis Bank and many other commercial giants that dominated the universe, including Shamrock Enterprises.
In the distance, a glaring light shone from the top of the Aurora Stronghold and illuminated a corner of the city. Lu Yin looked over and heard rumbling sounds.
"It's that brat again! He's getting more and more overboard!"
Lu Yin was curious, and he looked towards a corner of the city where he saw a group of people racing. That's right, they were racing, and it was a very ancient car that moved on four wheels.
"Is that a car race?" Lu Yin was astonished.
Chairman Zhi sighed. "It's that brat from my family. He's racing with a bunch of idiots who have nothing better to do. Every time he races, the city becomes restless. Hmph, I'll definitely catch him this time."
Lu Yin was interested. "That's a very ancient car. It's meaningless to cultivators since it's not exciting at all."
Chairman Zhi replied, "That's why they emit star energy. Those cars are specially modified and are very fast. It's enough for them to get excited."
"Chairman Zhi, I'll leave you to your work. I'd like to take a look."
Chairman Zhi was astonished, but then he smiled. "That's fine. I forgot that Alliance Master Lu is about the same age as my brat. Are you interested in these things as well?
My brat has a racing car at home. Would you like to try it out? "
"Thank you, Chairman Zhi."
