The Geared Immortal

Chapter 682

(Unedited)

…

Another month has passed and it's time for the resources distribution contest of the small towns around Ta'al city. In this contest, three town clan lords would be sent as a representative along with ten of the best gold and silver armored protectors in the town with their servants.

Shin Jiao was dragged unwillingly dragged in this battle for the town's resources. Although he didn't want to go because he still has a lot of things to do. But Jinga Vin insisted on him to come.

"This is a rare opportunity for you, grab it." He said with his frosty voice and expressionless face.

Shin Jiao did not understand why Aiya Wine like that guy so much.

Within this month, Shin Jiao has been a close friend of clan lord Aiya Wine who likes to visit his laboratory often. She would always try out those small trinkets and artifacts that Shin Jiao created as prototypes. It's like it's her past time to disrupt and annoy him in his work.

"Hey, are you ready for the travel to Ta'al city? I can't wait to visit that place… I'm also excited to enter the immortal lake… Hihi… Hey… thanks." Aiya Wine who is sitting on the side while looking at a small piece of object in her hand suddenly said.

Shin Jiao who heard her and noticed her looking at his new prototype just smiled at her.

"You've been looking at that thing. Do you want to know what it does?" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

He has trusted this woman as she could really keep a secret. In fact, Aiya already knows that Shin Jiao should already be a silver armored protector. This is because she saw him manipulating the universe's energy, plus that weird ability of his to move things at will. It was all an accident when she saw that, but she didn't tell anyone. She knew that people have secrets.

"Put it in your ear…" Shin Jiao said.

But Aiya just showed a confused look on her beautiful face as she looks at the object. Shin Jiao didn't want to waste time so he suddenly stood up.

Suddenly, Shin Jiao took the small object from her hand then stand on her side. When he did this, Aiya's suddenly want to take a step back. Then before she knew it, he has already put the object in her ear while turning the power on of the object.

Shin Jiao suddenly walked to the end of the laboratory under the confused look of Aiya Wine. Then he put his finger on his ear and she suddenly heard his voice.

'Can you hear me?'

Aiya's eyes suddenly went wide in disbelief.

"This… how… how? What is this?"

'Press the button on your earpiece before talking so that I can hear you.'

Hearing his voice, she then followed his instruction.

"What is this? How… how did you do this?" she said in surprise.

'This is just a short-range radio. It only has a range of 1 kilometer…'

Shin Jiao then walked back to his table.

"This is incredible… You said… Kilo… kilometer? What is that?" Aiya asked in confusion.

Shin Jiao felt a bit surprised but realized that in this world, the measurement standard is not in place. Most people focus on cultivating their power, science, and technology is something new to them. Shin Jiao has already noticed that those who came from technologically advanced civilizations seem to have a hard time entering the immortal land.

"A kilometer is around 3,000 plus feet in distance…" Shin Jiao explained.

Upon hearing his words, she was really amazed at the small thing.

"With this, I don't need to waste my energy just to send a message… This thing is neat… Wait… we should bring some of these on our trip. This would be really useful…" she said with excitement but she suddenly realized something.

"But… this is too obvious. Many would notice this."

Shin Jiao showed a faint smile, he already thought of such a thing since he made the prototype. So he carefully showed her a small button on the earpiece and then pushes it.

"This… it turned into an earring? Haha… You are really something…" she said as she followed him and then saw the earpiece suddenly changing into a pearl earring.

"I like it!… This is already, mine… thank you!…" she said as she put the earpiece in her ear and then walk out of the laboratory.

Shin Jiao just shakes his head and then put the earpiece in his ear.

"Lord Wine, how many of this thing should I make?" Shin Jiao asked.

Aiya who is walking outside suddenly heard a voice then suddenly turned vigilant while looking around. She saw the other people working in the workshop looking at it with confusion.

"Ahem…" she cleared her throat and then feels like cursing Shin Jiao for startling her.

…

After thorough preparation, the group from Vitol Town is now ready for departure. As the group walked outside the town Shin Jiao is standing among the crowd. Although many people knew who he is, there are still those who did not know him.

Among them is a tall young man wearing golden armor. He is considered the strongest gold armor protector of Vitol town. His accomplishment in eradicating the shadow creatures and protecting the town and the villages is numerous.

His name is Fushang Xu, from the Long clan.

Fushang Xu is standing in the middle of the other 4 golden armored people which are all exuding a proud aura. Meanwhile, among the silver armored people, a tall young woman with blue hair is leading them. She is also showing a proud aura and a cold expression on her beautiful face.

Her name is Vitina Kiwazo, from the Kiwazo clan.

Most of the people who qualify to attend the resource distribution contest for the towns belong to the 5 aristocratic families of the human race. The Vin, Wine, Long, Kiwazo, and Osmond clans and their subsidiary clans are those who have the qualification to enter.

And of course, the servants of the ten representatives are coming along with them.

Shin Jiao noticed that some of the servants are not pure humans. Some of them are Demi-humans.

While waiting with the crowd, a silver armored blue-haired guy noticed Shin Jiao.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" he suddenly asked in a loud voice.

This immediately caught the attention of everyone. Shin Jiao who was a bit startled almost cursed at the person. Since he only spends his time going back and forth from the school and his house, those who could recognize Shin Jiao in town are the people who see him every day.

Suddenly a tall young man in gold armor walks towards Shin Jiao.

"What is a peasant like you doing in town? Why is he still here?" he asked with a cold tone.

"Are the silver armored people already this lax that they have not noticed that a peasant is still in the area?" he added.

Hearing his words, the silver armored representatives suddenly glared at Shin Jiao and the young man who noticed him.

Then a cold tone suddenly interrupted the group who are glaring at each other.

"Are you two stupid or something?" Vitina Kiwazo glared at Suga Joss her companion who was the first to voice out that he noticed Shin Jiao.

She then glared at the golden armored young man who scoffs at them.

"Do you think he would be stupidly standing amidst our group if he is not invited here?"

Her words made the rest of the group look at each other. Many of the servants have already recognized Shin Jiao but dare not say anything in front of their masters.

But before the trouble would become bigger, a large floating ship suddenly ascended from the town hall ground.

"It's here! The airship is here!" someone from the crown who noticed the floating ship and called out.

Everyone's gaze was directed towards the direction of the airship that is slowly floating in the air towards the direction of the group.

When the ship landed, people began to embark on the cargo they needed to bring, and then after that, the rest of the people hopped on the ship.

Shin Jiao did not bother with the group and just showed the one in charge of his identification plate and enter the ship.

When he was able to enter those who are watching him showed a confused look on their faces. One of them is Fushang Xu. He did not recognize Shin Jiao and he is confused how could a mere peasant enter the ship and has the right identification plate which is only given to the contestant of the competition and their servants.

In contrary to the curious look on Fushang Xu's face, the silver armored Suga Joss who was called stupid by the leader showed animosity against Shin Jiao. Although he saw Shin Jiao taking out an identification plate, he thought that Shin Jiao stole that plate from someone.

That is the reason why he is standing confidently among the crowd.

Well, a peasant can steal those things according to his own opinion. This is because, when he was a mere peasant before, he was able to defeat a servant which is stronger than him.

With that in mind, he suddenly whispers something towards his servant who is a female demi-human fox. When his servant heard his words, she showed a complicated expression on her face and the thick fox tail behind her suddenly dropped down.

"Umm… Master… That… that… person…" the fox girl wanted to say something.

"Shut up! Do as I say, now!" Suga Joss said while glaring at her.

Suga Joss liked the fox girl because she is good at cultivating and very obedient. Among his servants before, she is the most promising, plus she is also a beauty which he likes to always admire.

The little female fox did not have a choice but to obey her master. She walked towards the person in charge and then whisper something in his ears.

Upon hearing her words, that person showed a surprised look on his face.

Although he is only a servant, he was in charge of checking the identification plates of those who enter the airship. So upon hearing someone stealing something, his expression immediately changed. He called for a group of people to apprehend someone.

And the one he is pointing at is the long figure of Shin Jiao.
