Chapter 3: New Mine Head
This will be my first venture in another world!
When Lao Xiao Tou stepped on the top of the mountain, overlooking the countless chains running through the mine in the sea of clouds, the momentum of the magnificent sea of clouds immediately made him make up his mind!
At this moment, a stout, dark-skinned man walked across from Lao Xiao's head. Behind him was a young man with a thin body and unusually fair cheeks.
The strong man grinned at Lao Xiaotou, then waved his finger to the thin man behind him and said: "Boss, it's my eldest brother", the man's name is Yan Lao'er, and his personality is very honest, and Lao Xiaotou also takes a fancy to this, so he will develop it into the first elite member of his team.
Old Xiao Tou turned slightly, his eyes swept over the cheeks of the thin young man behind the strong man, and he immediately frowned slightly.
Looking at the difference in body shape between the two, in fact, Yan Lao Er is more like a big brother, but the birth of this thing is only about the order, whether fat, thin, tall or short.
Boss Yan is obviously not the same kind of person as Boss Yan, their personalities are just opposite, and it is this that makes Lao Xiaotou value Boss Yan's ability even more.
After all, there is a limit to physical fitness, but the ability that a person's mind and wisdom can create is immeasurable.
It's just that he feels that the thin young man's eyes are very cold, and this kind of person must have a lot of calculations in his heart. With Lao Xiaotou's ability to recognize people in the business world in his previous life, he only needs to know at a glance that this person is not easy to get along with. But there are two sides to everything, and even poisonous snakes have their medicinal side.
Lao Xiaotou's way of employing people in his previous life was to choose talents and choose people to use. As for whether this person is up to the task, it depends on his performance and the control of his ability.
Like this kind of scheming and capable person, Lao Xiaotou naturally wants to use it for himself. But for this kind of person, he needs some means to be able to control it.
At this time, the thin young man also clasped his fists and saluted respectfully to Lao Xiao's head: "I heard that the boss has Kunpeng ambitions, so I came to defect."
So Lao Xiao Tou took a step forward, stared at the thin young man and said, "Now I give you a task, do you have the courage to complete it?" ”。
The thin young man's feminine gaze turned in his pupils, and then he clenched his fists categorically and said, "Subordinates take orders."
Old Xiao Tou saw that he took the initiative to accept the task without asking what task, obviously he was showing his determination to himself.
Lao Xiao Tou was unmoved, and pointed to the mining area under the mountain and said, "You go and help me collect all the foremen here, remember not to alarm the mine head in the eastern district."
When the thin young man heard this, his face was very calm, and he hugged his fists, and then turned around and walked down the mountain. The strong man also hesitated for a moment, and finally followed the thin man's footsteps down the mountain.
The first step in seizing this entire mine is to encircle the heads of these miners, and without their support, even if the mine is their own, it will be just an empty mountain.
This matter can also be regarded as a litmus test of Boss Yan's ability, if he can do it, then he can stay by his side in the future. If he was just gloomy and incompetent, then Old Xiao Tou would not hesitate to expel him.
Old Xiao Tou strode back to the top of the mountain, staring at the mining area at his feet, thinking that they would soon become his own, and as long as he could have the status of a mine owner, then he would be eligible to live in that villa area.
He was inevitably a little excited.
After all, this is much more exciting than building a business, such a start-up, Lao Xiaotou also dreamed of it in his previous life, but unfortunately the legal and social system at that time did not allow it.
Now he can make that dream come true in another world.
Starting a business in another world is actually much easier than in the 21st century. There are not so many business rules here, and no one restricts your behavior, you only need to figure out your own strength and cultivation, and the next step is the most direct. This is the law of survival in this world of the jungle, which seems cruel, but it is full of challenges.
....
Not good!
Old Xiao's head suddenly bent over, and his whole body trembled violently. He hurriedly climbed down from the top of the hill and immediately rushed into the cave.
He trembled and tried to find the booklet, but no matter how much he searched, he could not find it. Where exactly did you put the enhancement manual? He scratched his scalp, and suddenly a puff of green smoke came out, and his hair actually burned.
Then there was green smoke on his body, and at this moment, Old Xiao Tou could no longer calmly look for any pamphlets. Immediately start directing the heat in your body with the reinforcement you remember in your mind.
Just a moment after he meditated cross-legged, the dark furious flames in his body completely burst out. The raging flames rushed out of his body, turning into a rolling heat wave that instantly swept through the entire cavern, burning both clothing and belongings.
In the end, even the entire rock wall burned red. Seeing this kind of picture, Lao Xiaotou was also shocked that he had not been burned to death. But at this time, he was no different from death, only to see the flames burning his body, they licking his skin like poisonous snakes.
I don't know how long it has been in this state, and Lao Xiao Tou has already passed out in pain, and when he regained consciousness again, he found himself lying in a dark ash.
And his own arms, as well as his body, are all black.
At this point, he is less like a human being, more like a piece of coal.
Old Xiao Tou moved his hands and feet, and he still felt it, so he crawled towards the entrance of the cave. Now he couldn't stand up at all, so he could only grit his teeth and crawl on the ground. It wasn't until he climbed to the edge of the cave that he had climbed to the edge of the cave where he rolled down the stone steps with all his might.
With the coolness of the spring water, Old Xiaotou's nerves, which were almost paralyzed, gradually began to recover, and the black skin on his arm gradually faded.
When he cleaned it thoroughly, he found that he was not injured, but his muscles and bones were slightly swollen.
As his senses regained again, he was able to move.
However, there was still no perception of the super energy veins in his body, and occasionally a stream of heat seeped out, making Old Xiao Tou very worried that he would one day be burned to death by the flames hidden in it.
This is the price of cultivating the Dark Rage Dimension!
There are benefits beyond imagination, but also dangers beyond ordinary people can predict.
As for not being able to find the enhancement manual, in fact, Old Xiao Tou was not worried at all, after all, that thing didn't have much reference for him now.
For the Dark Rage Dimension, no one has ever truly completed their cultivation, and no one has ever recorded such a cultivation mantra for others to refer to and cultivate.
So Lao Xiao Tou could only rely on his own perception to grope for cultivation, although it was very painful, but it also made him feel a kind of gambling fun.
It's like this time the flames are going wild, and he has more control over the flames.
At this time, Old Xiao Tou's super sense also opened the second dark and furious dimension, but he didn't dare to try to perceive it. He knew very well in his heart that once he opened the second dark furious flame dimension, the horror of the dimension.
Lao Xiao's head and arm shook, and the heat all over his body steamed, and the water stains on his body were evaporated in an instant.
Old Xiao Tou just walked back to the cave, only to find that the cave was already in a mess at this time, and there were no more people living in it.
He didn't have enough money to buy a mine now, so he had to hide behind a boulder for a night.
Old Xiao Tou's body can withstand any cold at this time, he doesn't care about the cold wind at night, he lies on his back on the boulder, staring at the starry sky of another world, for some reason he always feels like he is dreaming, he pinched his cheek hard, the pain made him feel real again.
At this moment, a bright light flashed in Lao Xiaotou's eyes, and he saw a meteor slipping from the dark night. It's just that the meteor didn't fall straight, but made a spin in the sky and fell straight into the opposite mining area. At this time, Lao Xiao Tou realized that it was not a meteor at all, but a superpower.
In the end, the strong veins are so strong that geniuses can swim between the starry sky and the earth like him.
Old Xiao Tou had an inexplicable urge to cultivate in his heart, and then he bent down and felt a few things from under the boulder.
So you're here! Old Xiao Tou finally remembered that he had left the enhancement manual here. Then he took out the beast armor again.
Fortunately, as soon as he came back that day, Old Xiao Tou hid them under this boulder, otherwise they would not have survived the fire just now.
Old Xiao Tou picked up the animal skin armor and put it on, and then picked up the jet-black card, feeling that the strange familiar perception was still there. It's a pity that Old Xiao Tou doesn't know what this thing is and how to use it.
Old Xiao stared at the card for a while, but still didn't see any doorway, so he simply took it into his arms, and then prepared to take out the booklet to cultivate.
At this moment, Lao Xiaotou suddenly noticed a red light flashing on his chest, and he hurriedly took out the black card from his chest.
At this moment, the jet-black surface of the card began to form red textures, and at first the old Xiao Tou couldn't see what those things were clearly. But after some careful identification, he found that those textures were actually human meridians.
Old Xiao Tou stared at the card curiously for a long time, but it didn't take long for the red veins to disappear. This made Lao Xiao Tou very unwilling, he suddenly remembered that the card was a mutation produced in the chest, did he need to stick it on the chest?
So Lao Xiaotou put the card into his arms again, and this time, he simply untied his shirt and watched every change in the card with his own eyes.
The card started out black, but it didn't take long for the red lines to grow on the surface, and eventually the entire card was filled.
When the card texture no longer grew, Lao Xiao Tou actually saw a complete map of the human body's meridians.
Lao Xiaotou took off the card, put it in the palm of his hand and observed it carefully, and found that this meridian map was extremely fine, just like seeing through the human body, almost all the tiny meridians were presented on the card.
And with Lao Xiaotou's concentration, he still has the illusion of entering the card, and he can even consciously manipulate those meridians and veins.
Lao Xiao's heart moved, and he immediately ran the furious trick he had realized before in the card for a week, and the meridians in the card immediately lit up with an energy line and ran along the network of these meridians. And it was not under the control of Lao Xiaotou at all, and at this moment, Lao Xiaotou suddenly felt that his body was hot, and then the energy veins in his body also operated automatically.
This? Don't? Old Xiao Tou stared at the card in his hand with a shocked look on his face, as well as the energy line that was running at high speed. He finally realized the mysterious connection between the card and the energy veins in his body. Now that Lao Xiao Tou finally understands the purpose of the card, it can actually map the meridian network in his body, so that it is much easier for him to cultivate the Berserk Technique, after all, meditation and internal vision are both perceptual behaviors, and as long as there is a little distraction, it is very likely that the operation of the successful method will go wrong.
This is also the reason why Lao Xiao Tou unanimously did not dare to run the furious trick easily. Now with this card, Old Xiao Tou can replace his inner vision with his eyes, and its accuracy is definitely several times higher than before, and he can even shorten the running time of the Berserk Technique.
As soon as he thought of this, Lao Xiao Tou felt a kind of surprise in his heart that he had picked up a treasure, and he didn't expect that a card he picked up casually on top of the small stall would have such a magical use.
Just when Old Xiao Tou was excited, the red texture on the card was weakening little by little with time, and the operation of the violent technique in his body was also stagnating a little bit.
This made Lao Xiao Tou a little frustrated, if the card could not be sustained for a long time, then even if it could be used for the cultivation of the Berserk Technique, it would be equivalent to chicken ribs.
Old Xiao Tou was just about to drop the card in his hand, but suddenly remembered something. He immediately pressed the card to his chest, and soon the almost dull red veins began to grow again, eventually reverting to a whole network of meridians. At this time, the energy lines in the card did not disappear, and they were still running automatically, and then those red lines seemed to echo with the meridians in Lao Xiaotou's body, and at this moment, the black surface of the card gradually became transparent, and finally it disappeared out of thin air.
But Lao Xiaotou could clearly sense that its breath was still in his chest, but Lao Xiaotou gently stroked the skin on his chest with his hand, but there was no trace of strangeness.
At the same time, the furious technique in Lao Xiao Tou's body was actually running automatically, and there was no need for Lao Xiao Tou to control it at all, so there was no probability of error in this operation, and there was no need to deliberately meditate, at any time, he could practice his exercises.
Sensing the sense of superiority brought by the card to his body, Lao Xiaotou was excited and even danced. But it didn't take long for him to calm down again, and he secretly thought in his heart: "I can't always cultivate the One Realm Heavenly Furious Enhancement Technique, right?" ”。
This card is like an auto-run exercise plug-in, but it can only run its own energy lines to engrave them.
As soon as he thought of this, Old Xiao Tou was eager to take it out of his body, after all, if it could not be taken out again, then Old Xiao Tou would have to stagnate in the Furious Secret Realm for the rest of his life.
Old Xiao anxiously slapped his chest, trying to take it out or make it stop, but the card seemed to be long gone, and no matter how he tried to slap his chest, it didn't have any response.
In the end, Lao Xiao Tou was very lonely and sat on the ground, he couldn't accept such a reality, he had just awakened superpower, and he was forever confined to a realm and couldn't take a single step.
Just when Lao Xiao Tou was almost in a desperate situation, he once again sensed the familiar breath of the card, and Lao Xiao Tou immediately wanted to grab it.
Suddenly, a red light flashed, and a card floated out of his chest and landed in the palm of his hand.
At this time, Lao Xiaotou stared at the card in his hand with stupid eyes, but he didn't expect that what he originally regarded as pessimistic and desperate was solved so easily.
Old Xiao Tou meditated for a while, immediately put the card on his chest again, and then silently recited it in his heart!
Then the card is re-rendered.
After repeating it a few times, Lao Xiao Tou finally understood how to control the card, so he put the card into his body with peace of mind, and then took a long breath and shouted happily at the top of the mountain.
Sweep away the embarrassment just now.
At this time, the Yan brothers climbed up along a mountain road with a group of foremen.
When they saw Lao Xiaotou, they all saluted and called him the boss. Now Lao Xiao Tou remembered the order he gave to Boss Yan yesterday, but he didn't expect that it would only take him one day to get all the foremen in this mining area.
Old Xiao Tou didn't need to ask Boss Yan what means he used to achieve it, as long as he did it, it was his ability and ability.
Old Xiao Tou naturally rewarded him, and then appointed him as the chief foreman, as long as he took this mine, he would become the head of the entire mining area.
Boss Yan seemed to be very satisfied with this, and also contributed a plan to Lao Xiaotou. That is how to seize the mines of the Eastern District with minimal losses.
Now Lao Xiao Tou knows that Boss Yan is extraordinary, his wisdom is definitely outstanding, and he also has an extremely sophisticated computing ability.
....
East Mining Area.
Old Xiao Tou patrolled around along a mountain range, and he had to thoroughly understand the shape and advance and retreat before he acted.
Although all the pictures of Boss Yan have been drawn here, Lao Xiao Tou is still accustomed to coming to the scene to take a look at it before he can feel at ease.
This is the experience he has accumulated over the years in the business, the more he comes to the last moment of life and death, the more careful he must be, sometimes the devil is hidden in the details, as long as he finds it out and avoids it, he may be able to succeed.
Old Xiao Tou walked along the East Mountain Range several times, and he was not ready to leave until he felt that everything was right.
At this moment, Boss Yan jumped down from the opposite rock and saluted Lao Xiaotou: "Boss, several foremen in the eastern area, as well as some of the guards in the courtyard, have been persuaded by their subordinates, and now as long as the boss gives an order, the eastern mining area will be our brother's."
Old Xiao Tou stared at the mining area at his feet, nodded slightly, and said, "Boss Yan, you are doing well, but things are going a little too smoothly, why hasn't the mine head in the Eastern District reacted at all?" ”。
Hearing this, Boss Yan was also silent for a while with a thoughtful expression on his face, and then said, "Boss, I have sent someone to monitor the mine head in the Eastern District for three consecutive days, but he has not made any movement except for hiding in his villa every day."
Boss Yan was also very puzzled by this, after all, how could he not even reach a little bit of news as the head of the mine for such a big thing as seizing the mining area. Although Boss Yan admits that he has blocked most of the news, as long as it is done by people, it is impossible not to reveal the news at all, especially since this matter still involves so many foremen and miners.
"Boss Yan, do you guess that the head of the mine in the Eastern District is pretending to be calm, or is it really not at all unknown?" Old Xiao Tou thought about it and turned around to ask Boss Yan.
"Boss, according to the speculation of his subordinates, the head of the mine in the Eastern District may not move because of personal reasons, as for why this is so, it has not yet been discovered in the next moment," Boss Yan replied in an extremely cautious tone.
"Okay, you continue to explore, if there is no movement in the next two days, we will do it" Lao Xiao waved his hand, and he was about to leave here with Boss Yan.
At this moment, several foremen, led by Yan Laoer, ran over out of breath. As soon as they saw Lao Xiaotou, they immediately showed excitement on their faces, and said out of breath: "Boss, good opportunity, today the brothers found out that half of the guards in the mining area have left the mining area, and now is the time when the defense in the mining area is the weakest, we must not miss the opportunity."
Hearing this, Boss Yan and Old Xiao Tou also glanced at each other, and Boss Yan stared at Yan Er with vigilant eyes and asked, "Is the news reliable?" Don't fall for someone else's plan to lure you into the urn."
Yan Lao Er hurriedly explained: "Boss! Never, in order to confirm the accuracy of the information, I followed those guards for dozens of miles, until I watched them leave the Situ mining area, and then I ran back non-stop to tell the boss."
At this time, Boss Yan also seemed to be a little moved, turned to stare at Lao Xiao Tou and said, "Boss, this is indeed an opportunity, but... It's a bit abrupt".
Old Xiao Tou thought about it for a while, and immediately said in a resolute tone: "There is no one who does things without taking risks, and now our brothers will gamble and do it."
Then!
A team of foremen who had been recruited in advance, as well as the subordinates recruited by Lao Xiaotou and the Yan brothers in these days, gathered at the entrance of the valley in the eastern district.
Lao Xiao Tou and the Yan brothers divided into two ways and immediately rushed to the mine.
Due to the previous secret wooing by Boss Yan, several defense points in the East Mining Area were bought. This allowed the old Xiao Tou and the others to pass through the outer part of the mining area and come to the inner mining area almost without any obstacles.
At this time, the guards of the inner mining area are guarding the ore storehouse and all important weapons houses. There was no defense at all against the old Xiao Tou and his party who suddenly came in, and under the super attack of Boss Yan and Old Xiao Tou, they soon became prisoners.
In total, there were less than 20 guards guarding the East Mining Area, and the original defense team of 70 people was only 50 people after being bribed, and more than 20 people were thrown out of the mining area, so it was almost a battle without suspense.
Soon! More than two dozen mine guards were all controlled by Lao Xiaotou's people, and there was not much conflict at this time. And so far, the head of the East District mine has not yet appeared.
This made Lao Xiao Tou feel that things were a little weird.
However, he said that he could not go to what was wrong. So he was angry and continued to rush and kill with the Yan brothers until they reached the villa area where the mine head in the eastern district was located.
Old Xiao Tou wanted to force him to show up in this way.
When Lao Xiao Tou and his party almost approached the villa, the door opened, and a chubby man walked out surrounded by two women.
Seeing his obscene face, Lao Xiao Tou shook his head in disappointment and said, "Could it be that he is the head of the mine in the Eastern District?" ”。
Boss Yan immediately stepped forward and explained: "This person is not the head of the mine in the Eastern District, he is just the deputy head of the mine, in fact, he is a straw bale, and he is on the top by patting his ass."
For this kind of goods, Lao Xiaotou didn't bother to take care of it, and asked him sharply: "Go back and summon the main lord to Lao Tzu."
The fat man cowered and knelt on the ground, kowtowed continuously, and said: "East, the mine head in the eastern area is no more, the small one is just temporarily acting as an agent for the affairs of the mining area, and I ask the eldest brother to spare his life."
Looking at the poor worm at his feet, Lao Xiao Tou ignored him at all, stepped over, and walked into the villa.
Then all the guards also poured into the villa, checked it inside and out, and after confirming that the mine head in the eastern area was indeed not there, Boss Yan escorted the deputy mine head with the guards and left.
But Lao Xiao Tou was left alone, and he didn't expect that he would live in the big villa so easily.
He looked at the three-story building and the delicate 21st century fashion, and he almost had the illusion of going back in time.
As for why Xiaolou was built in the style of the 21st century, Lao Xiao Tou learned from Boss Yan that it was they who came to the conclusion after reading the history books, that is, the most luxurious era in history was the 21st century AD, so they created this noble villa area in accordance with the style of that era.
This explanation made Lao Xiao Tou accept this villa very calmly, don't worry, he will have another traverser's owner.
When Lao Xiao inspected the villa inside and out, he found that although the building was more in line with the style of the 21st century AD, the furniture inside seemed a little nondescript, and there were many things that were beyond the centuries, and some were actually imitating the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.
But none of this is important, the important thing is that the owner of this place is his old Xiao Tou.
