Volume 2: Entering the Ghost Feast Section 113: The Mining Theft Plan
Hung up the phone, Zhang Su has been thinking about Pu Zitong's so-called soul crystal beads and the price of getting soul crystal beads, he doesn't know what method Pu Zitong has come up with, but judging from Pu Zitong's tone, it must be a bad ghost idea, Zhang Su didn't have much hope, and his expectations for getting the soul crystal beads have dropped a lot.
Since he didn't have much hope, Zhang Su didn't think about the price anymore, he slowly returned to his home, and began to practice the Yuan Tian Snake Man Soul Technique and the formation he got from Song Yibing, so as to pass the time of waiting.
Sure enough, as soon as the appointed time arrived, Pu Zitong called and said, "Are you at home?" Come out, I'll go downstairs to you. ”
"It's very punctual, I'll go down now, how did you get here?" Zhang Su asked.
"Sister Lu'er drove me here, she was going to find those people from the Guan family, so she brought me over by the way." Pu Zitong replied.
"Are you talking about the pink BMW?" Zhang Su asked with a pout.
"How is it possible, how could she go to find someone from the Guan family to drive such a swaggering car, she drove another black car, don't talk nonsense, you come down quickly." Pu Zitong urged, and then hung up the phone.
Zhang Su withdrew from his cultivation state, changed into a summer coat to wear when he went out, and slowly went downstairs by elevator.
"Do you want to go to the company to get the bounty first?" As soon as he arrived downstairs, Zhang Su saw Pu Zitong wearing a tulle and a sunhat on his head and asked.
"Well, although it's not too early, we still have to go to the company to receive the reward first, and we have to rely on the soul hunter to continue to hone our tacit understanding." Pu Zitong nodded in response.
Under the blazing sun, Zhang Su rode a small car with a happy face Pu Zitong, and slowly drove towards the soul hunting company, on the way, Zhang Su asked Pu Zitong the question he had already prepared: "What did you say before that the price of obtaining the soul crystal bead?" ”
"Haha, you're still tempted, it seems that you still want that soul crystal bead." Pu Zitong sighed with a smile.
"Of course, I don't think that I am still a weak person in the soul master realm, everyone wants to have the desire to become stronger, let's talk about it." Zhang Su urged.
"That method is to steal the mine, go to a certain family's soul crystal vein and steal some soul crystals, and then ......," Pu Zitong said with a wicked smile.
"Miss, are you crazy, didn't you say that the soul crystal mine is all secret and private, and it is guarded by the family's pioneer team? How do you steal it? Zhang asked puzzled.
"You say it's a coincidence, I just happened to know that such a high-grade soul spar mine is a small clan, there is no heavy guard, only three or five soul masters patrol and monitor, as long as you avoid the vision of those patrolling soul masters, it is not impossible to sneak in, but the family has set up a lot of prohibitions near the ore vein, once the ban is triggered, the alarm whistle will sound at the lightest, and the soul will be scattered, so if you want to sneak in, you need one person to lead the pioneer team, and one person to find the gap of the prohibition and sneak in, so you understand." Pu Zitong said.
"You're not trying me to distract the guards, are you?" Zhang Su
The right eyelid jumped, and asked.
"Smart, I'll break those prohibitions, you just need to create some time for me, I think with our Pu family's understanding of all kinds of prohibitions, there should be no prohibitions that can be difficult for me." Pu Zitong said confidently.
"And then? Are you going to go in and leave me alone? Once the soul crystal stone is broken, the soul power will be dissipated, and you can't bring it out, how can you give it to me. Zhang asked angrily.
"Some soul crystals that are not connected into blocks can be dug up directly without destruction, even if there are no scattered soul crystals, there are also soul crystal beads for short-term workers, I can steal a few soul crystal beads and bring out the soul power, how about sharing the soul crystal beads with you when the time comes?" Pu Zitong explained.
"Yes, it's just that you already have a high-grade soul crystal bead, why do you want to steal a high-grade soul crystal stone?" Zhang asked puzzled.
"At the beginning, I also thought that the soul ancestor soul power in the high-quality soul crystal bead could be brought out by a big supplement, who knew that it would be so difficult to absorb at the level of my soul king, its concentration is too pure and dense, and each absorption needs to consume a lot of soul power to dilute it first, otherwise it will not be integrated into the soul at all if it is directly absorbed, and the efficiency of dilution and then absorption is too low to meet my desire to quickly break through to the high-level soul king, so I want to get some high-grade soul crystal beads for use." Pu Zitong explained.
"Okay, I see, then I'll ask you one more question, what happens if we get caught by the owner of that vein?" Zhang Su pondered for a moment, and finally asked.
"Silence." Pu Zitong replied simply.
"Extinguish? Stealing some soul ore won't kill people, right? Zhang asked in surprise.
"Stealing soul crystals is a small matter, but it is a big sin for you to know the location of the soul crystal veins, so in order to avoid the leakage of their own soul crystal crystals, all clans will do enough secrecy measures, some families will secretly imprison these people after catching the trespasser or thief, until the ore vein is light and then release the person, and some families will directly destroy the thief's spiritual consciousness, then the thief will become a vegetative person, and the most ruthless family will directly destroy the person's soul, and destroy it cleanly, leaving no trace, In order to avoid the leakage of the family veins, it is collectively called extinguished. Pu Zitong replied.
"Isn't that dangerous? There's no need to steal, right? Are there any people who sell soul beads? Shall we go buy some? Zhang Su continued to ask.
"There are indeed some sold in the ghost market, and they are not expensive, a high-grade soul crystal bead is about a price of hundreds of thousands, if you want, you can buy a few more, then you can be promoted to a high-level soul king in the short term." Pu Zitong sneered.
"What? Hundreds of thousands of top-grade soul crystal beads? Zhang Su shouted, but fortunately there were not many people on the road, and no one heard Zhang Su's exclamation.
"Do you think, soul crystals are very scarce, a place of soul crystals can be filled with more than ten soul crystal beads can be called a vein, and according to the grade, the upper grade is even more scarce, few families will take it out to sell, and it is also in short supply on the market, so the price will naturally rise
。 Pu Zitong explained.
"I really can't afford this price, and it's very dangerous to steal ore, so it's not so simple to improve yourself." Zhang Su sighed.
"Of course, what is your opinion, do you want to join forces with me to do this?" Pu Zitong asked hurriedly.
"Are you sure? You didn't even tell me which vein you were stealing, what your plan was, and how could you trust you? Zhang said.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you, what I want to steal is the Xing family's ore vein, the specific details are still to be discussed, but from now on, there is only a few months to have the possibility of success, because during this time, Xing Yunze, the caretaker of the Xing family's ore vein, is not there, and he was temporarily transferred out to discuss with the soul hunting company about dealing with Lei Lin's ghost banquet, this is our opportunity." Pu Zitong explained.
"How do you know?" Zhang asked puzzled.
"I heard from Xing Guanze, Xing Guanli and their brothers, when they were waiting for you in the taiko café before, they were talking about Xing Guanze's uncle Xing Yunze, saying that Xing Yunze is often delegated, and every time he comes back, he will retreat and practice in the family's secret room for a period of time, according to my judgment, this Xing Yunze is the pioneer captain of the Xing family, and after each mining is over, the head of the Xing family will lift the soul sealing ban on him, and then give him soul crystal beads to compensate for soul power." Pu Zitong explained.
"How did you know the location?" Zhang Su continued to ask.
"It's simple, I heard those two brothers say that the reason why Xing Yunze was appointed to join the support team of this Lei Lin Ghost Banquet is because he happened to be near Qicheng recently, and the most important thing is that Xing Guanli also said that when the two brothers came to find Xing Yunze, they ate near a funeral parlor in the eastern suburbs of Qicheng, Xing Yunze gave Xing Guanze and Xing Guanli a ball full of soul power to each of the two brothers according to the instructions of the head of the Xing family, so that they could use it to improve their soul power, in order to increase some strength to challenge you, The two brothers were whispering in front of me about it with their soul power, and I eavesdropped on their words with a little trick. Pu Zitong said with a wicked smile.
"You're too bad...... Be witty, I understand, Xing Yunze is a member of the Xing family's pioneer team responsible for the mining of ore veins, and he explained that there are Xing family's ore veins near Qicheng near Qicheng, and this location is likely to be near a funeral home in the eastern suburbs of Qicheng, and the funeral parlor in the eastern suburbs of Qicheng As far as I know, there is only the Donglin funeral parlor that I went to during the soul hunting war, that is to say, the location of the vein should be near the Donglin funeral parlor, and the round ball that Xing Yunze gave to the two brothers of the Xing family at that time was the soul crystal bead, since the two soul king brothers of the Xing family can use it, Then it means that the soul crystal bead is also the high-grade soul crystal bead that we need. Zhang Su reasoned.
"Yes, I also analyzed it this way, now that Xing Yunze, who is in charge, has been temporarily transferred, the strength of guarding the ore vein must have been sharply reduced, and the rest are estimated to be at the soul king level or the great soul master level, there is no need to be afraid, it is still very simple to bypass them, the only problem is that I don't know where the specific location of the ore vein is and what forbidden means are used to protect it
, which requires meticulous investigation. Pu Zitong said.
"If there is no Soul Ancestor in charge, we shouldn't be able to catch the two of us, but I'm not worried about the risk of being wiped out, but we still have to deal with the Guan family's bounty with your sister Lu, I don't know if the time will come up." Zhang Su said tangledly.
"So you'd like to join? That's okay, the Guan family's matter should be handed over to Sister Lu'er, I think it should be no problem, and the Guan family's bounty period is half a month, and we still have time to plan for the mine theft in the remaining half a month, well, let's call it the mine theft plan for the time being. Pu Zitong responded.
"A plan to steal mines? Well, yes, shhh, don't talk about it, it's time for the company. Just after Pu Zitong responded, Zhang Su looked at the abandoned factory area in front of him and said softly.
Zhang Su directly rode the car to the front of the Qicheng Soul Hunting Company, got out of the car, and went with Pu Zitong to check what rewards were left in the bounty column in the hall.
"It's Zhang Su, this is Miss Pu Zitong, right?" As soon as Zhang Su entered the door, he was greeted by Yang Jiashuo, who was striding out, and greeted Zhang Su.
"Well, Brother Jiashuo, what are you doing here?" Seeing that Yang Jiashuo was a little flustered, Zhang Su hurriedly greeted.
"Liu Yu just called the emergency phone, and was suddenly trapped by two junior imps when hunting souls, and now it is in a stalemate, and needs the support of the company, I am in charge of emergency response, of course, I am responsible for this matter." Yang Jiashuo quickly explained.
"Liu Yu?" Zhang Su recalled it and found that there was no such person in his memory, and asked.
"You haven't met him yet, have you? It's no wonder, our job is like this, it's more free, Liu Yu often comes to hand over the bounty task at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, it's really difficult for you to meet, but the company has a total of more than 20 soul masters, you should recognize all the people, although some people have strange personalities, but they are not bad people, there will always be a place to help each other in the future. Yang Jiashuo said.
"What Brother Jiashuo said is that I will recognize people well." Zhang Su nodded and replied.
"Well, I won't tell you more, I should go, Liu Yu is still in crisis." Yang Jiashuo nodded, then waved his hand at Zhang Su, rushed out with an arrow step, and disappeared at the end of the narrow alley in front of the company after a while.
Seeing that Yang Jiashuo had left, Zhang Su turned around and continued to browse the bounty in the bounty column.
"Strategist, what do you want to arrange today?" Seeing that Zhang Su was carefully browsing every reward order, Pu Zitong asked with a hippie smile.
"We're a little late today, and the simpler bounties have been taken away by others, and the rest of these bounties are mostly troublesome, or just high-level, it seems that today's bounty task is not easy to complete." Zhang said.
"What's not easy, what are you afraid of with my shot, I think the bounty of those little ghosts is good, we can go on." Pu Zitong said.
"Do you only look at the bounty level and not the content? You pay attention to the bounty introduction inside, Brother Fan's investigation methods can roughly detect the souls of the dead
The soul skills that will be used, and they will be marked in the bounty introduction, you see that the remaining bounty imps all have weird means, like this junior imp has an unknown trapped soul skill, and the intermediate imp has an unknown escape soul skill, where Fan Zengming's eldest brother adds the word 'unknown' in front, it means that this bounty is not so easy to solve, and there are many uncertain factors. Zhang Su explained.
"Uncertainty? Isn't that what we need? Our current duo needs all kinds of challenges to improve the chemistry of cooperation. Pu Zitong suggested.
"Well, there is some truth in what you say, so I'll try to pick a few bounties from here that can help us cultivate tacit understanding." Zhang Zhen pondered for a moment about Pu Zitong's statement and agreed.
According to Pu Zitong's suggestion, Zhang Su screened out four or five rewards that could be tried among the many rewards, and then selected the final three from the four or five after discussing with Pu Zitong.
Zhang Su walked to the door of the secretary's office and knocked lightly.
"Come in, it turns out to be Zhang Su, Hu Xi is sick today and didn't come, I'll take his shift temporarily." After Zhang Su knocked on the door, a gentle man's voice came from the secretary's room.
Zhang Su took Pu Zitong to push the door into the house, looked at the original place where Hu Xi was sitting, and saw a familiar and hearty face hidden behind a stack of documents, Zhang Su greeted: "It turned out to be Brother Ding Lin, is Brother Hu Xi sick?" ”
"This morning, Hu Xi's acute appendicitis was committed, and now he is lying in the hospital for surgery, Yan Lao also followed, and temporarily assigned his work to me, you are with Pu Zitong Pu girl to form a group to receive the reward, just fill in this contract, just fill in the content of each column according to your own negotiation, Zhang suspects that you and Lu Sen have also partnered before, how can this contract be filled in unfamiliar?" Ding Lin asked as he explained, handed a contract with soul power blessing to Zhang Su and Pu Zitong, and handed over a signature pen that exuded soul power.
"Well, I know how to fill it out, just leave it to me." Zhang Su took the contract and the pen, sat down on the sofa in the secretary's room, injected some of his soul power into the pen, and filled in the corresponding content on the contract.
"I've heard that you single-handedly eliminated the fox-faced fox imp who participated in the killing of Lu Sen, right, and you have also advanced from a junior soul king to an intermediate soul king, which is really impressive." Ding Lin smiled and praised.
"Brother Ding Lin, don't say that, I also want to avenge Brother Lu Senge to promote myself to continue to improve my strength, that overturned ghost is an intermediate ghost level, my current strength is far from enough, and I need to make greater progress." Zhang Su said modestly.
"I still want to persuade you to let go of your revenge, life with revenge is easy to make you lose yourself, I have seen too many such people, I don't want you to become like them." Ding Lin persuaded.
"Brother Ding Lin, you think too much, I didn't give up other things because I was obsessed with revenge, revenge must be avenged, but
It's that when I don't have enough strength, I won't risk dying, and I won't let revenge affect my life in the world, I have already figured out these things in that frustrated time, and I now have a little strength, and I see the hope of successful revenge. Zhang said.
"Does defeating the Turtle and the Half-Bodyed Four-Eyed Girl give you confidence in yourself? Don't be too simplistic. Ding Lin continued to persuade.
"Thank you Ding Linge for reminding me, I don't think I have the strength to face the overturned ghost, so I still need to continue to improve my strength, at least to the level of a high-level soul king to be able to deal with that overturned ghost." Zhang said.
"High-level Soul King? Dealing with an intermediate ghost level? It's a little unrealistic, and you should have just advanced to the intermediate soul king not long ago, and it is estimated that it will be a little difficult to advance to the advanced soul king again in a short period of time, I advise you not to have too much hope, otherwise the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Ding Lin continued to respond with a gentle smile.
"Okay, Brother Ding Lin, don't talk about this, I'm done, Pu Zitong, come here, you check the content I filled, see if there is anything you think is inappropriate, if not, you just need to inject soul power into this signature pen, and then sign your name, and this notarized contract for joint soul hunting will take effect." Zhang Su signed the contract seriously, and handed the signing pen to Pu Zitong, who was sitting on the side and looking around.
Pu Zitong didn't review the content of the contract, took the pen and signed his name on the contract, and then the contract flashed and slowly floated back to Ding Lin's hand, indicating that the contract had been concluded and taken effect.
"Okay, Brother Ding Lin, I'll go first." Seeing that the contract flew back to Ding Lin's hand, Zhang Su and Ding Lin said hello again, and then left the secretary's office with Pu Zitong.
As soon as he left the secretary's room, Zhang Su's face darkened instantly, and he walked towards the door of the company with a suspicious face, rubbing his chin vigorously, Ding Lin's persuasion just now sounded in his mind again, and he said softly: "It seems that only me and Song Yibing know about the half-body four-pupiled girl, how does he know that the half-body four-pupiled girl was defeated by me?" ”
