It can't be blamed that he doesn't know where his parents work, after all, he has never been there, the mining base does not allow the staff to bring children to work, and their escort team does not allow the base personnel to take children, and the outside world is so dangerous, Lin Yuefeng and his wife have no ability and cannot take him there.

Therefore, Qingyin only knows the name and general direction of the base where her parents are, and she doesn't know exactly how to go.

Originally, he was going to ask for the way and drive the mecha directly over, so he had his new mecha ready, but he changed his plan on the spot, so he fell into this embarrassing situation.

Looking at Artoria's speechless expression, Qingyin was also a little embarrassed, and smiled awkwardly: "That, in fact, it doesn't matter, just find someone to ask, the upper city of most of the underground cities of Azure Star was originally a transit station and trade point for the major mining bases to transfer materials to each other, it should not be difficult to ask for directions." ”

Artoria was noncommittal about this, and she already had the impression in her heart that she was sloppy as a master.

After all, is this the kind of God who created the world? It's just ordinary and incredible, the gap between imagination and reality is really farther than the distance between heaven and earth~

················

The material circulation trading station, located next to the trade area in Shangcheng District, is a logistics concentration point shared by consortium enterprises, large chambers of commerce and private material dealers, as well as a transit point for transportation and trading of mining resources.

Almost every city on the Azure Star will have similar places, they are connected with thousands of mining bases, forming a well-connected and interconnected commercial network, which not only satisfies the self-sufficiency of the planet's native humans, but also creates countless huge wealth to flow outside the planet, contributing to the economic development of the entire Hongxi Star Field.

Of course, the benefits are basically divided up by those big forces whose commercial strength is enough to cross the star field, and there are very few benefits that can really fall into the hands of local civilians, even so, in the annual census of the per capita living standard of federal residents, the quality of human life on Azure Star can always be at the middle and upper level among all human habitation planets in the entire star field, which shows how rich the resources of Azure Star are and how prosperous commercial activities are.

Qingyin is now shocked by the lively scene in front of him, the huge warehouse group that is orderly and neatly spread out is located on the site with no end in sight, most of the warehouses are parked in front of large trucks, some are closed, vehicles come and go in the field, and the flow of people is endless;

People are either driving simple unloading forklifts, or riding large humanoid machines busy unloading and loading goods, and even there are remote card masters working with card monsters, which can be described as diverse, each with its own doorway;

The sound of machinery running, the sound of vehicles starting, the shouts of workers and all kinds of chaotic sounds are mixed together, which makes the people in it uneasy, but these people who are in full swing and focus on their work probably won't care;

In short, this is a lively place, Qingyin's local memory has never seen such a noisy scene, it is estimated that only the cargo docks on the earth in the eighties and nineties in the previous life can be comparable to one or two, but in this noisy and noisy atmosphere seems to contain an indescribable order, chaotic but not chaotic, but not too unbearable, but even so Qingyin did not have the idea of staying longer, or hurry up and ask for directions and leave quickly.

Qingyin, who was obviously busy, was too embarrassed to disturb, so he found a convoy not far away that seemed to be loaded and free, and asked them for directions.

"You're going to NT-904? Isn't that a private mining base owned by the Cowell Group? That's the energy radiation zone, what are you doing there? ”

A middle-aged man sitting in front of the van smoking a cigarette with a beard on his face heard his question, glanced Qingyin up and down, and then looked at Artoria beside him for a while before retracting his gaze and asking with a puzzled expression.

In his opinion, the fine-skinned and tender young man in front of him looks excessively young, not like a businessman who is exposed to the wind and sun all day long, and he also has an excessively beautiful chick by his side, such a combination looks like a boring rich young master, it stands to reason that they shouldn't go to those pleasant fields to find excitement and then die by the way? Why would you want to go to those barren mining bases? In particular, a dangerous-level radiation base like NT-904 that mines energy ores is a place where birds don't except for energy ores, except for their own convoy and the transportation convoy that provides daily necessities for the base, others should rarely go to that dangerous place, right?

Qingyin naturally didn't know why he was confused, but explained: "That's the case, I'm actually a card maker who is about to start learning the production of energy cards, and recently I want to buy a large number of lower-level energy ores, because the amount needed is relatively large, so I want to go directly to the mining base to buy a batch, this is not to save a lot of intermediate price difference, I heard that the mining base that produces lower-level energy ores nearby is only NT-904 base, so I want to go there, but I haven't been there, so I don't know how to go." ”

"You're a card maker?" The middle-aged man with a full beard heard the information in his words, and his attitude was obviously respectful, because in the eyes of ordinary people, any card profession is an awe-inspiring existence, knowing that Qingyin is a card maker, and it is likely to be an intermediate card maker who has begun to learn energy card making, his attitude will of course be a little more solemn, so after hearing Qingyin's words, he explained to him very intimately that things are not as simple as he thought.

"Little brother, although I don't know where you heard this information, but the news is obviously not specific enough, NT-904 mining base is a base specializing in mining energy ores, yes, but it is a mining base that completely belongs to private groups, and the low-level energy ores they mine are basically not sold to outsiders, if you just go like this, you can't buy low-priced ores, unless you are willing to increase the purchase price, and if you two go, the road is a little too dangerous, but ······"

Halfway through his speech, he seemed to stop talking, and Qingyin immediately understood what he meant, took out a small dozen cash bills of the highest denomination, and handed them over quietly;

"You seem to have a solution? Please also be sure to give me some advice, this is my little heart, I should invite you to have a drink, and please smile~"

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, he took his inquiry fee with a smile, stuffed it neatly into the pocket of his clothes, squinted and said politely: "Since you are so sincere, little brother, wouldn't it be too faceless if I refused?" Then you're welcome. ”

"Yes, you're welcome."

Since he received the benefits, the middle-aged man was not verbose, and said directly to him: "Although their ore is not sold to the outside world, no matter how strict the rules are, there are always exceptions that take into account human feelings.

Because the base is relatively remote, their own fleet cannot fully undertake the transportation of life supplies, so they have entrusted an additional material circulation team specializing in ground transportation to provide them with life supplies for a long time, and this team is a relatively pure combined team of merchants, which contains many private merchants who make a living by reselling rare materials from various places to earn the difference.

You know, the low-level energy ore is also a rare substance, and as a long-term partner of that base, they belong to a special situation, so they can naturally have a lot of additional purchase qualifications, after all, they also have to rely on the living supplies provided by this team for them to maintain their operation, and this additional share of purchase qualifications is equivalent to giving them favors, which is a tacit matter, I say so, you should be able to understand, right? ”

Qingyin smiled and nodded to show that he understood, this is the same as the private network channel, the so-called law is nothing more than human affection, water to clear is no fish, in short, this is the meaning, in the previous life as a Chinese, of course he understood this second.

Seeing that he understood, the middle-aged man continued: "I can recommend you to join this team temporarily, but the purchase qualification needs to be negotiated with the main sponsor of the team yourself, and you may have to give them an intermediary fee, but it is definitely much cheaper than buying raw ore directly from the material supplier.

It just so happens that they have a convoy to the major bases to go out this afternoon, if you have no problem, you can set off today, and the convoy has hired a special escort arm, so you don't have to worry about the threat in the field with the convoy, killing two birds with one stone, how about it? I can take you there if you want, I know their principals well, so it's absolutely fine for you to join. ”

After listening to his words, Qingyin thought about it carefully, and felt that there should be no problem with what he said was reasonable, although he felt a little troublesome in his heart, but the fact is that this is the case, if he doesn't follow the team, I'm afraid I really can't buy ore, so it seems that I can only take this road.

It's just that he can't be alone with my king makes him a little regretful, but Qingyin is not a willful person who doesn't know anything, so he can only think about finding a chance next time, and the main purpose of this time is to let my king see the dangers of this world, and it would be good if he could go to the outside world to see the wild beasts.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Artoria beside him again, and found that she had no objection, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, uncle~"

"Okay, then come with me, and I'll take you over to talk to their principal."

Seeing Qingyin's agreement, the middle-aged man beckoned them and took the lead towards a convoy that was busy loading goods.
