"Eric senpai! The Great Elder wants us to pick you up! On the hot air balloon, several young hunters shouted.

"Okay, I'll come!" After Eric's answer, he said to Wenlong and Catherine, "Then without further ado, the regular hot air balloon to Dondoruma is about to leave, I can't make people wait too long, so goodbye!" ”

With that, Eric walked slowly towards the hot air balloon, and after boarding the hot air balloon, the hot air balloon began to rise slowly, and Eric turned back and continued to wave goodbye to Catherine.

"Come on! My dear sister! You'll surpass me in the future! ”

"Brother! Take care too! Catherine also waved goodbye with tears in her eyes, until she could no longer see the hot air balloon......

……

After bidding farewell to Eric, Wenlong and Catherine returned to the hotel, and when they returned, they found that Begonia and others were looking for them.

"Ah...... Mr. Cat, and Sister Catherine, where the hell have you been? As soon as she saw Wenlong and Catherine, Begonia immediately ran over.

"Nothing, just a little goodbye to the guy named Eric...... Meow ......"

"Huh? Is Catherine's brother gone? Lindis also said curiously.

"Well, brother, he was in a hurry to get to the regular hot air balloon in Dondoruma, so he had already left first, and he didn't have time to say goodbye to you...... But my brother asked me to bring some things, so I took it as a thank you gift......"

With that, Catherine opened a package, and when they opened it, they found that it was full of shiny crystals.

"It's ...... Light crystals? Begonia remembered that she had heard from Rin that Eric liked to give away light crystals.

"No, you can see that the light emitted by these crystals is brighter than ordinary light crystals, and if you look at the structure, they are also more crystal clear, and you can't see any impurities. Therefore, this is not an ordinary light crystal, but a pure crystal with a much higher value than a light crystal, meow! Wen Long picked up a piece of crystal, looked at it, and then said.

"I see, it seems that it is really a valuable thing......" Hearing Wen Long's explanation, Haitang suddenly realized.

"Well, these things can be used as materials for forging certain equipment. Of course, there are also some local tyrants who like to buy them back and make gorgeous decorations to show off...... All in all, it's not bad...... Meow ......"

So Catherine took out some of these pure crystals and gave them to Begonia, Lindis and Robin, and the rest to Wenlong......

After that, Wen Long and the others rested in Jieyun Village for a few days, and during these few days, Wen Long went to the stronghold of the Black Cat Clan in the Xiqi Country area, and took out a part of the funds and all the Mu Tianzhi carried by this trip to the Xiqi Country as a reward, and invited those Black Cat Clans to help dig up the Tyrannosaurus corpse that had been buried in the volcano. And promise to reward more after digging out!

The rich reward and the persuasion of Robin, who is the leader of the black cat clan in the West Strange Country, although the task is very difficult. However, most of the black cat clans accepted Wenlong's gold coins and Mu Tianzhi, and expressed their willingness to cooperate.

In parallel with the excavation work in the volcanic area, there is also the construction of the Jieyun characteristic hot spring project in the Ilufa Snow Mountain area.

The project of building a hot spring in the Ilufa Snow Mountain area is in charge of Reina, and he also called almost all the black cat tribes and some white cat tribes in the West Hured area as the main construction team, and asked the owner of the Yuyun Village Hot Spring Bath to provide technical support as a special consultant, so as to create a new hot spring bath with the characteristic style of Yuyun in the Ilufa Snow Mountain area!

And in order to pay the wages of these hard-working Ailu cats, Wenlong even issued an order to the big ash and small ash in the West Melon Mountains through the mail between the West Strange Country and the West Hured region - asking them to sell the hoarded ore and various herbs for gold coins as soon as possible, and at the same time vigorously plant the Elu cats' favorite wood celestial knotweed! to meet the needs of the Ellu cats.

But even so, Wenlong still felt that the cost this time was too much.

After all, it's two huge mega-projects going on at the same time. One is to dig up the volcano, although after Wenlong and the others left. The Nasiqi Volcano has finally entered a dormant period, and the originally hot magma has gradually cooled down, but it is not easy to excavate a giant monster like the Tyrannosaurus from the hard mountain made of volcanic rock.

Even if the Black Cat Clan in almost all regions of the Xiqi Country is invested in this project, it will not be able to be completed in a short period of time, and in order for these Black Cat Clan to work hard, Wenlong's remuneration is also increasing.

The same is true for the development of hot springs in the Ilufa Snow Mountains. The so-called hot spring development is not just the development of a hot spring, Wenlong also needs to build various facilities supporting the hot spring. This includes inns where people travel, restaurants where you can enjoy the specialties of Yuun Village, and of course, the cost of hiring waiters at hotels and restaurants and chefs who can make them! And these. All require a lot of money.

Therefore, even Wen Long, who has not worried about money for a long time in the world, gradually feels a little powerless at this moment.

"If this continues, the hot spring development and volcano excavation have not yet been completed, Uncle Ben, my vault will be empty...... I have to think of a way, meow ......" On this day, Wenlong soaked in the hot springs of Yuyun Village as usual, while thinking about countermeasures to deal with the shortage of funds.

"Why don't you stop one of these two projects first? For example, the exhumation of the corpse of the Tyrannosaurus? When the hot spring baths start to make a profit, and the reuse of profitable funds continues? But time waits for no one...... Since the Scourge Star Dragon incident, the Tyrannosaurus has also appeared, maybe there will be some monsters...... And now that the stupid woman's weapons are broken, she is waiting to create a new weapon, if the ancient dragon is planted, it will be troublesome without a new weapon...... Meow ......"

"Or do you want to dig up the body of the Tyrannosaurus first? How slow is the development of hot spring baths? That's not going to work...... Finally, there is an opportunity to make a lot of money...... How can you let it go like that? Meow? ”

"So both of these projects are important...... Neither of them is willing to stop...... But the problem of money...... What to do? How...... What...... Do...... Oh yes! Meow! Suddenly, at a loss, a figure flashed in Wenlong's mind, who was thinking hard.

"If you ask her for help with money, you must be fine, stupid woman, quick, let's go back to Mejepotan!" Meow! After a solution came to mind, Wen Long immediately shouted loudly. (To be continued.) )
