I grabbed before the silver snow broke out and said, "Are you embarrassed to tell me that you don't do this or that?" What about your conscience? ”

"What does this matter to my conscience?" My early anger turned out to cool down the silver snow.

I sneered. "What did you eat in the flood era? What are you eating now? What kind of party did you live in before? What kind of party do you live in now? What kind of weapons did you use before? What kind of weapons do you use now? Have you forgotten everything? Forget jì where did your delicious food come from? Who gave you that splendid palace? Who did you ask for those servants who served you? Who provided the fruit of the power to improve the strength? Okay, if you say that you have forgotten this qiē, then I have nothing to say, from now on you take your Yangguan Road, I cross my single-plank bridge, everyone has nothing to do with each other! ”

Yin Xue blushed a little and said, "Who...... Who said I forgot? ”

"Haven't forgotten?" I snorted. "Didn't you forget, you didn't do this, you didn't do that? So what are you here for? Our guild will pay you as much money as it does to maintain a large fleet, so why do we spend so much money just to invite the Living Bodhisattva back to have fun? ”

Yinxue is indeed very smart, but after all, she is just a divine beast from the Flood Era, far less experienced than me, not to mention that I am very good at speaking, and ordinary people can't stand it at all, let alone Yinxue. After three or two sentences, she was red-faced by what I said, and she wanted to refute but had nothing to say, and she had nowhere to vent her grievances.

"But...... But......! ”

"But what?" Yinxue didn't do anything for a long time, but I took the first step and said: "The Frost Rose Alliance is a big family, everyone can dedicate their strength to Frost, and those who can work harder." Weaker players also do their part. It's a great atmosphere, do you know what it is? Ethos is a code of conduct that is recognized and enforced by everyone in a social group, and it is an important thing that has no actual form but can affect the overall strength of a group. I've been trying to cultivate and protect this ethos since I created Frost. Do you know how hard it is? Why is the Frost Personnel Audit so strict? It's because I don't want people with distorted values to undermine the culture I've worked so hard to build. Yes, you do have the power we need. But you also have a very bad atmosphere with you. For the sake of your combat effectiveness, Frost will no longer have the spirit of dedication and hard work that he had before, and I am not willing to destroy the atmosphere I have worked so hard to build for the sake of your combat effectiveness. I've been watching you for some time and have been cautious about your behavior, and today, you're finally up to the bottom of what I can tolerate. ”

"You...... What are you doing? Yin Xue vaguely sensed some danger.

"It's not what I'm going to do. It's about what you're going to do. ”

"What do I have nothing to do?"

"You have to make a choice now. Be a part of this big family and treat all the members of Frost as your family. Or leave this home and go find the promised land of your hope. ”

"I, I, I...... I didn't say I was leaving? Yin Xue said with a face full of grievances. I was just......! ”

"It's just that there are some things you don't want to do, and you want to get paid more, right?" Yin Xue nodded subconsciously. I then said, "So you're just going to leave?" ”

"I didn't! When did I say I was leaving? ”

"I just said that to stay, you have to be part of the family. Frost needs your fighting power, but I can't tolerate the good guild ethos being ruined by you alone. ”

"But I want to be a part of this big family!"

"Is it okay for a member of a big family to just talk about it?"

"So what?"

"You don't need to ask me. With your level of intelligence, wouldn't you understand what a family member is? Does any mother who cooks for her child have to pay for her labor? Does any husband ask his wife for a massage after giving him a massage? Does any child ask his mother for a salary after helping him? None of them. Because they are family. Family means that everyone knows exactly what they do for the family for the benefit of the whole family. The family does not need to think about what the family has to offer themselves. It's about thinking about what you've done for your family. But what about you? I've asked you to clean up the field, this is to facilitate the exploration and mining of magic crystals for a while. Who does the benefit of the magic crystal mining belong to? It belongs to our guild, to our family. It also belongs to everyone in the family. Clearing the yard early can start early, which is good for everyone in our big family. So why don't you do it if it's good for you? ”

"Because ......"

As soon as Yin Xue said two words, I preemptively said, "Because you don't think of yourself as a part of this family, you don't think it's good for you to mine ore in advance." You think the benefit of helping to clean up the field is the Guild of the Frost Rose Alliance. And not you personally. This means that you have put yourself out of the guild. Now do you have to quibble that you want to be part of the family? ”

Yin Xue was completely dumbfounded, and the momentum before had long since disappeared, and now the whole person is like a drug addict after the drug properties have passed. Appear depressed and tired.

Seeing that the silver snow had softened, I also eased my breath a little. "You are a new member of the guild, and our guild really needs your strength, and our relationship with the four holy beasts has also made us inextricably linked. I don't want to embarrass everyone to meet in the future for this kind of thing, but your behavior is too chilling. ”

"I ...... Can I change it? ”

"It's not just a matter of saying it, anyone will say it when it is reviewed, and there are few people who really do it. I'll remember this time. I will hide it for you, and I won't let the people in the guild look at you strangely, but I must warn you. Everyone makes mistakes, but frequent mistakes mean that there is something wrong with you. If a similar situation happens next time, I hope you don't have to say anything more from me, just leave by yourself. ”

Yinxue nodded desperately. Then he turned around and was about to leave.

"Where are you going?"

Yinxue pointed to the side with tears on her face and said, "I'll go clean up the field." ”

"You don't have to do it here. I think about it, but I still think that these things are useful. You can just go and dry that lake. ”

"Oh." Silver Snow flew up, and then pointed at the lake with one hand in the air, and a red light shot straight at the lake. At first, I didn't see any change. But after a dozen seconds, the surface of the lake began to roll up, as if it were boiling. The fish and all kinds of aquatic monsters in the lake are all jumping on the shore like crazy. After about half a minute, the surface of the lake was completely covered with steaming heat, and it seemed that Yinxue was going to burn the lake dry.

"Silver snow, get some wind to blow the mist away. This evaporates relatively quickly. I reminded Yinxue loudly.

Yin Xue wiped the tears on her face with her other hand, which were not completely dry, and then slowly circled the sky twice with one finger, only to see that the gas on the surface of the lake began to converge wildly towards a point, and then began to spiral and rise. Watch a small cyclone take shape in front of us and quickly develop into a waterspout. Silo's surprised mouth next to him couldn't even close. She had already heard from the conversation just now that Yinxue was an NPC. But she didn't expect Yinxue to be so powerful.

The waterspout spun faster and faster, eventually developing into a giant black tornado, and the water in the lake began to fly upwards with the tornado. The water level on the lake is also rapidly decreasing. Seeing that the tornado was more effective than the thermal energy hotline, Yinxue simply gave up the light on her other hand and switched to controlling the wind with both hands. I saw that more than a dozen small cyclones quickly appeared on the edge of the lake. Then the wind became louder and louder, and the dozen or so small cyclones quickly grew into a dozen black tornadoes, and the big tornado in the center of the lake began to swirl together, and the lake seemed to be lifted up in an instant. All the time, even the silt in the lake has been pumped up. In the chaos, I seem to see several big guys being blown away together in the whirlwind, and it is estimated that they may be large demonic beasts here. They could be the bosses here. However, encountering Yinxue can only make them sigh unlucky!

A huge lake was wiped out in an instant, and the situation at the bottom of the lake left me and Siro dumbfounded. The entire lake bed was actually covered with a layer of sparkling magic crystals. Its density is as if the bottom of the lake is made up of a whole block of magic crystals. I had also thought that it would be possible to find magic crystals at the bottom of the lake, but I never expected to find so many.

Silo pointed to the lake bed and asked, "Does this mean that we have made a fortune?" ”

I nodded, then shook my head again. "If it's all that goes here, and the rest of the world has nothing as we guess is the worst-case scenario, they're only enough for our mining costs. But if it's like everywhere really is. Then I'll hire a security company right away, and be prepared to deal with crazy suitors. ”

"Why?"

"Because you're a rich woman now, there will be a lot of people who will beat you up. Some of them may use tactics such as kidnapping, extortion, intimidation, etc. Others may be on the offensive for love. Trust me, it's good for you to prepare early. ”

"How can I be so popular!" Siluo smiled and said, "I only have a small part, and you take the big one, and you actually ...... Kindness? What is that? Suddenly, Siro spotted a rapidly approaching black dot in the distant sky, and soon after that more black dots appeared.

I glanced up. "Don't worry, it's our guild's shuttle brigade."

"Shuttle?"

――――――

"A transport aircraft that can take off and land vertically, and the straight-line speed is exaggerated. However, the disadvantage of this thing is also obvious, that is, it cannot be turned. If you want to turn, you must first stop the same road. Then use another set of equipment to steer, and then turn back to linear motion when the direction is aligned, and it takes about a minute to switch once, basically there is no possibility of participating in the war, we mainly use it as a fixed route between cities, anyway, as long as the direction is aligned to run back and forth, even the U-turn is saved. ”

As we spoke, the big guys had flown over our heads. These submarine-looking big guys have a very nice fluid profile, so they all get respectable speed and ultra-low power consumption. Siro didn't close his surprised mouth until the big ones were completely still above us.

The first to land was a large shuttle, and as soon as the thing landed, the fairings on both sides began to rise upwards with a roar of machinery, revealing two huge hatches. When the fairing is fully raised, the hatch begins to slowly lower outward, and eventually becomes a springboard on the surface. There was a sudden chaotic sound of the machine starting in the cabin, and the two scorpion-type lumbersaws opened out of the hatches at the two ends in the creaking tracks, followed by the same type of lumberjack.

The first ship has not yet been unloaded. The second and third searches have landed. Like the first ship, the hatches at both ends were opened, and some large, strangely shaped machines came out of the inside one after another. Look at Silo in the original straight inhale.

"These are from your guild?" Siro held back for a long time before she couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, isn't it ours that can drive here?" I suddenly spotted the rose and quickly beckoned to her. "Wife. This way. ”

Rose ran in front of us on the giant white wolf I had sent her, and jumped straight from the wolf's back into my arms. "How? I drove all the remaining machines from Issinger, and I also temporarily transferred the mining equipment from Steel City that was originally intended to be sent to the flood era, this is our fourth mining team, and we can't keep busy with so many mining areas. ”

"Can't you call more people?"

"There are a lot of people who want to join. But you set the bar so high. How many can you get in? There are so many NPCs, but they can't stand us hiring like this? Recently, neither the Dark Temple nor the Heavenly Court have refused to sell NPCs to us. ”

"Why?"

Rose pretended to be a hand and said: "Fifteen million heavenly soldiers were killed in the war against Japan last month, and more than 40 million soldiers and horses were built in the foundation of the Dark Temple in the United States last month. Last month, there was a war with the European Temple of Light, and few people died. But then we had to labor, and we almost emptied the Dark Temple's reserves. You've been on a crusade this month, do you know how many NPCs have died during this time? There is also the natural wear and tear of the ore when mining. On average, our guild kills more than 10 million NPCs per month, and there is also a limit to people's sales points! ”

"Damn! Then there is no way to recruit people? ”

"That's not at all. But this is needed. Rose rubbed her hand together, and we understood immediately.

"When did Heavenly Court say that it would not supply NPC troops?"

"Today. But they didn't say dead. Just want us to pay attention to consumption. Recently, there have been too many work-related accidents in several mining areas, and this kind of non-combat attrition is so scary! ”

"Then appease first. What does the Dark Temple say? ”

"Arni said that he could sell soldiers, but the craftsman said that he would not give anything. The Dark Temple on the European side can still provide labor NPCs such as craftsmen, but the number is limited to a maximum of two million per month, and there is no more. ”

"We guild so many cities. What is the number of organic call-ups? ”

"It's about a million points a month, which is simply not enough."

"Isn't that unused?" I pointed to the unloader and asked, "Where did these people come from?" ”

"Guess!" Rose smiled proudly, and I knew it must have been something she had come up with with great difficulty. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to guess.

I thought about it for a while, and it seemed like there was nothing left to make a difference. "Can't guess."

Rose smiled and said, "I bought it from a second-hand dealer." ”

"Second-hand dealers?"

"The restriction on the import of this guild does not mean that other guilds are also restricted. I went and consulted with Feng Yin Miao and Ah Xiufu, and used their remaining share to buy labor, and then transferred it to us. Although the price is a little more expensive than buying it directly, it is better than not using it at all. In fact, we have started too many projects in the past month, and there are not enough people to build cities and open mines, so we can ease up next month. ”

I looked at the unloading team with satisfaction, and said, "It's easy to do this, as long as you determine the area and approximate reserves of the mining area, you can decide whether to build a city or just a mine." Hopefully, a large area of high-density mining will be discovered. I don't have too many colorful magic crystals. ”

"Report." A Frost NPC runs over. When he saw us turn around, he immediately began to report: "The mining exploration team and the primary field cleaning equipment have all been unloaded, please instruct whether to start exploration immediately?" ”

"Determine the approximate mine area and ore reserves, and then report back to me."

"Understood." The NPCs saluted me, then turned and ran to their team and began to divide up their movements, while the unloaded shuttles took off to make way for us.

A group of NPC trainers walked past us on trolls, who were also carrying large mechanical parts in pairs. The scorpion lumberjack roared into the edge of the forest and stopped, only to lift itself up with mechanical legs stretched out from under the huge scorpion-shaped machinery, and then the two cutting openings in the pincer form grabbed at the two trees. The large tongs bite a tree and pinch it from the bottom up. All but the main trunk were swept down. Following the large tongs as they moved to the part of the tree trunk close to the surface, a large roulette saw thrust through the middle of the tongs with a roar, and then retreated. Large pincers easily set the straight trunk aside, and then reached for the next tree. The whole process takes less than twenty seconds. It's surprisingly efficient.

Siro opened his mouth and sighed, "What a powerful wood harvester, you used to cut trees like this?" ”

"Almost! As you know, we have a lot of guild cities. Naturally, there is a lot of wood needed, and it is impossible to pull it by sawing alone! ”

"And that one over there is also a sawn tree?" Siro asked, pointing to the large equipment that the trolls were assembling in the distance.

Siro was referring to a tower-like device, which stood about 20 meters high, and there were many handle-like things sticking out of it.

I glanced at the thing and shook my head. "That's not a lumberjack. This thing is much more advanced than a lumberjack. It's actually an energy detector, originally a war probe, but recently we've found that it's just as easy to use for prospecting. As long as there is a sample, this thing can find all substances with similar properties within a certain range. ”

"So how big is this certain range you call so?"

"It depends on what you're looking for." Rose replied for me, "A substance with a strong energy reaction like the Colorful Magic Crystal only needs to be the size of a grain of rice. We can detect it from a distance of 1,000 kilometers. But if you're just looking for steel or some kind of stable dìng element. The detection range can only be guaranteed within three kilometers, and the precise positioning must be within two kilometers. ”

"That's pretty powerful, it's better than digging by hand, isn't it?"

"Of course." I pointed to the moving trolls who were clutching the handlebars and carrying the machine. "Unfortunately, it's just as heavy as it is powerful. We had to send in the Troll Guards to move it! ”

An NPC technician ran up to me and asked, "President, we need a sample here as a reference." ”

I raised my hand and shook it at the void that had dried the lakebed. A fist-sized seven-colored magic crystal immediately flew into my palm. I threw this Colorful Magic Crystal over it. "Just use this."

"So big?" The mechanic looked at it, then ran back with the Colorful Magic Crystal in his hand. Almost at the moment when he loaded the colorful magic crystal on the machine, the red lines on the entire machine instantly lit up, and a red circle of light burst out on the machine. It spread out like a shockwave, enveloping us all.

Several workers shouted at us, "Ready, cover your ears." ”

Silo didn't know why she was covering her ears, but when she saw how quickly we all covered our ears, she covered her ears as well. Almost at the moment when she covered her ears. The red circle of light that had just spread out was retracted with a sharp whistling, and unlike the previous light curtain, this time the aperture was obviously more substantial, and we could clearly feel a strong gust of air scraping past us. When the light circle completely disappeared into the machine, the red lines on the surface of the machine gradually dimmed, and a group of workers ran to the bottom of the machine and caught the edge of a piece of paper that had just been stretched out of the machine. The workers carefully dragged the paper backwards, and the machine was constantly spitting out the paper, and it looked like the thing was still full. After pulling out a paper tape more than ten meters long and half a meter wide, the workers ran back and began to pull the second paper tape, while the rest began to write and draw on the first paper tape.

Silo had never seen such a machine before, and was very curious to run over to see what they were doing. But the paper full of lines seemed too complicated for her, and she couldn't read what was written on it.

The workers dragged more than 20 pieces of paper out in one breath before stopping, and another person carried a set of folding boards, which were placed on the surface and unfolded to form a 20-meter square flat. The workers spread the paper sequentially on the slabs and aligned their seams. As more and more paper was put on it, Siro finally saw that this was a picture.

"Is this a picture?" Siro excitedly turned back to us and asked.

I nodded. "This is the mass fault map and the element ladder map of this area, and these red dots are the materials with a similar structure to the reference objects, and the different colored materials next to them need to refer to the catalog over there to know what they are. These lines do not represent the shape, but the mass density, and when mining, the lower cavities and aquifers can be avoided according to this diagram, and the softer structures can also be reinforced in advance to avoid their collapse, so we will mine minerals and rarely have permeability or collapse accidents. ”

"The Great Guild is different! The equipment is so advanced! Do you have a computer in this thing? Why is there an automatic printing function? ”

"If you had a computer, you wouldn't have to make it that big." Rose said a little frustratedly: "In order to complete this thing, our mage can only stack the magic array layer by layer, you see that this thing is like a tower, in fact, it is composed of more than 10,000 layers of three-dimensional magic array." Just the side at the bottom of the paper used a three-fold legal array of water and illusion and fire. Do you know how hard it is to get a combo array? ”

Siro shook her head. "I'm not a formation mage, I haven't played this kind of thing."

I smiled and explained to Shiro. "Actually, the work of a formation mage is a bit like playing a jigsaw puzzle, the key is to ensure that there is no energy hedge between the magic array and the magic array. The formation mage has a skill called recognition, but when reading the direction of energy flow of the magic array, and when compounding the magic circle, you should pay attention to making the magic circles of different systems flow in one direction as much as possible, otherwise the two magic circles will be ineffective. It's easy to say, but it's very complicated to do, but if you're an expert in math, there's definitely a future for changing to a formation mage. ”

"Oh, I guess you'd better settle those people's problems before discussing my career." Siro said suddenly, pointing into the distance. We followed her finger and saw a huge procession coming towards us.

"The flies are coming so fast!"
