Leaving Mo Xingkui to stay in Moluoshi Village to guard those zircons, Su Hao and Heng Gerui walked into the deserted mountains under the leadership of a few selected strong villagers.

It's even more desolate than you think.

Large predators such as thorny bears are actually few in number, and their real habitat is located in another part of the deserted mountain range. There is water there, and food sources are more abundant. It's just that predators such as spiny bears don't like the cold and are more adapted to this arid and hot environment. Therefore, although it is often seen on this side of the mountain, it is more ferocious than on the other side of the mountain.

The villagers are moving faster than expected. Although they are poor, they have developed the instinct to survive for a long time in a harsh environment. They were shocked by Su Hao, who was wearing heavy armor, and felt that that kind of heavy armor was simply an indescribable burden when worn on his body. However, the outsider appeared to be very relaxed, and he didn't even breathe heavily on the way. This alone is admirable.

There were no animals in sight, and the dwarf plants and insects were the only living creatures here. The villagers are more cautious when walking, and a single spider, or an ant or other insect will make them extra cautious. Either pick up a large rock and kill it instantly, or tiptoe past the insect plant. According to the villagers, the plants and insects here are highly poisonous and aggressive. Despite their tiny size, a single prick can be fatal. If you can't kill them in the first place, it's best to go as far as you can to minimize the chances of danger.

When he saw the red valley for the first time, Su Hao only felt shocked.

The valley is like being in flames, and countless maroon zircon stones are stacked on top of each other, occupying a huge area of dozens of square kilometers around it. Among them, there are fragments of a few centimeters square, as well as whole boulders tens of meters high. They lie there silently, silently displaying their inconspicuous appearance, waiting for the discoverer to arrive.

"It's a huge open-pit vein."

Hengrui held the electronic detector and looked at the number of jù that appeared on the screen, and his expression was so excited that he almost yelled: "Just the surface part, the reserves are as high as 500 million tons. There must be veins deep underground that can be excavated, rudely estimated to be at least hundreds of billions of tons. ”

Su Hao nodded indifferently and did not comment on this.

His mood was equally excited, but far less fanatical than Hungary's.

No matter how much Zircon you have, it is only a part of the resources of the empire. This has never been the focus of Su Hao's mission goal. If it weren't for the better exploration of the third stage world, Su Hao wouldn't have come here. However, the strength of power is directly proportional to the amount of secrecy enjoyed. If you want to know more, you must first get more.

In the next few days, Su Hao took the villagers to survey the nearby terrain. On the electronic map, Su Hao drew a curved line between the valley of the ore vein and the village of Moloshi. He plans to build a road here, there is no water source around the mine, as long as the road is clear, the zircon produced here will continue to be transported back to the third stage of the Overworld in exchange for more wealth for himself.

Su Hao did not break his promise, and every villager who led the way got a silver coin. From the old village chief, Su Hao had also seen the silver coin style in this space realm. In general, there is little difference in the silver content of the two different world currencies, but the exquisite craftsmanship itself determines the value. In a way, the Imperial currency is more marketable here, and its circulation will continue to increase.

Kaka has become Su Hao's spokesperson in the H C 993 space field. Su Hao has already paved the way for Kaka with fierceness and gentleness. At least, in Molosch Village, no one would think that Kaka was still the same bully youth he used to be. Behind him stood a group of armed strangers. Who knows where they came from? When Su Hao left, he didn't greet the village chief. But everyone understood: they would come back.

……

The returning light was just as dazzling, just as unsightly, and the brains were still dizzy, and it was only when the soles of the boots were actually on solid ground that the teleporters felt awake and returned to reality.

When he opened his eyes, Su Hao immediately saw Vimore with a surprised face. The dark-skinned mercenary placed a bed next to the space converter, jumped over, and gave Su Hao a heavy hug.

"Welcome home! Welcome back! ”

There couldn't be a better welcome than this.

Without waiting for Su Hao to answer, Vimore had already pressed the communicator button on his wrist and shouted in a loud voice of extreme joy: "Hey! All came to see, they're back! They're back! ”

Soon, Kenson and the others also appeared in the room with the space converter. At this time, Heng Gerui and Mo Xingkui were already carrying a bundle of bundled zircons and placing them on the ground.

He Dong patted the package sealed with linen cloth on the surface, and called out with an exaggerated expression: "Hey! It seems that you have indeed become rich. Tell me, what have you gained over there? ”

Su Hao smiled calmly and said, "There are some gains, but not as much as you imagined." It's not gold, it's just ore. ”

Immediately, Su Hao's eyes fell on Kenson, who was standing next to him, and briefly asked what had happened during the time he had been away.

Konoha Town is very calm. The broken walls have been repaired, the new guard tower has been completed, and the town has a few more outsiders who want to settle here. There are mercenaries, dark hunters, and, of course, gold diggers, prostitutes and merchants, crooks, thieves, and vagabonds.

Border towns are very inclusive. No matter what you have ever done, as long as you are accepted by the people here, you can become a legal resident. Of course, if you anger the aborigines, you will also be retaliated. That kind of end is worse than death.

The second batch of weapons and equipment promised by Dai Xiaolou has arrived. Although there is no such equipment with excellent performance as power armor, it has military-standard weapons that are beyond Qiao Tianyu's ability. It was not a gun that had been retired from the warehouses of the Imperial Wehrmacht, but a magnetic cannon that only the main army was qualified to equip with. This alone is enough to multiply Konoha Town's defense capabilities. Even in the event of a large-scale attack by the dark creatures planned by Racemerces last time, these new magnetic cannons located at the four gates alone can easily repel them.

This is also the real reason why the Dark World Wandering Group never takes the initiative to attack human cities, and only chooses border towns to attack. That kind of battle is beyond the ability of the dark knight, and must be led by the dark nobles above the baron. Of course, there is also a zài distinction between the nobility and the nobility. Li Wenxiang's kind of spider demon baron is weak, and it can't be compared with a powerful family at all. Even in the upper class of the dark world, "rangers" spider demons like Li Wenxiang have no status at all. They are contemptuously called "wild seeds" by their kinders of more noble blood, and can never get a female mate from the normal way.

When Su Hao turned on remote communication, Dai Xiaolou was flirting with a young secretary.

The woman was good-looking and had a graceful figure. was able to become the intelligence director of the main army at this age, Dai Xiaolou has a handsome appearance that intoxicates women, and the provocative skills on the lips are also very good. The secretary's military rank is only a second lieutenant, and he is afraid and admired at the same time for Dai Xiaolou, the head of the high position of the director of intelligence. She was surprised to find that the young boss was not as cold and strict as the legend suggests, he was always smiling, smiling and smoking a cigarette, and his cynical appearance was even more representative than that of the playboys in the inner part of the empire. Especially the action of flicking cigarette ash and spitting smoke rings with one hand is very chic, as long as it is a woman, you can't help but want to be close.

"Have you seen that latest movie? It's the one where the brave gunslinger rescues his wife from the villain. I can't think of a name. However, the heroine in it looks a lot like you. What the? You're not as pretty as a heroine? No, no, no, don't be presumptuous, in the movie it's all after makeup, plus the effect of lighting. You're actually much prettier than her. Those directors are simply blind people with open eyes, they should come here to select the actors. I bet you're more conspicuous than that woman once you're on screen. ”

"Blue Lorre perfume doesn't work well with you, you should try the more intense Faith perfume. That can make you more sexy and exude the most seductive charm anytime, anywhere. ”

"Huh! What do I know so much? Of course, I am full of interest in your every qiē because of my special attention. It's just a casual conversation during working hours, and we'll make an appointment for another time and have a drink. What, your boyfriend is coming to pick you up from work? No kidding, life is so short, I haven't enjoyed the fun of life, and I'm going to be busy getting married and stepping into the grave of life and love...... Tut-tut! I'm willing to bet with my head that you're not more than thirty years old before your boyfriend turns into a submissive yellow-faced woman. ”

"Try it, learn to enjoy life, enjoy men, enjoy a qiē."

Dai Xiaolou's voice is very seductive, and there is an indescribable masculine charm. Under the gaze of his sparkling eyes, the young secretary had forgotten the fact that the neckline of his clothes was wide open, and the other party was standing at the desk and looking down from top to bottom. There is still a little bit of a gap between the view and the view, but there is not much left. The young secretary only felt that many fixed concepts in his mind were being revised, and his body was racing with the madness of eagerness to try.

The sudden remote communication interrupted this qiē.

A trace of gloom flashed in Dai Xiaolou's eyes, and he was very annoyed to get in touch. When Su Hao's avatar appeared on the miniature screen, his anger had turned into a bitter smile. He shook his head, raised his right index finger, and made a silent gesture at the crimson-faced young secretary, sticking out his tongue to make teasing movements, and quickly dodged into an empty room next to it.

"The communication you chose couldn't be the right time."

Dai Xiaolou shook his head without complaining, sighed, and continued: "Say it! What do you want to sue me? Or are you in trouble and need my help? ”

Su Hao held a thumb-sized zircon in front of him so that Dai Xiaolou could see it clearly: "This is the latest harvest I have gained from the space field. Can you give me an estimate and see how much it's worth? ”

The ridiculous and relaxed expression immediately disappeared from Dai Xiaolou's face, and was replaced by seriousness and solemnity: "Zircon? The color actually exceeds the normal red floating standard? Send me your ore spectroscopic analysis report, and I can tell you the answer right now. ”

A few minutes later, Dai Xiaolou had already returned to the door of his director's office. Pamela, the elderly captain's secretary, was still sitting behind the counter outside the office, smiling at him.

"Why, isn't that young and beautiful little beauty very happy with you? It's rare to see you come back so early, and that doesn't seem to be your style. ”

Dai Xiaolou's face was full of bitterness: "It's not as simple as you imagined to get a woman." I don't like to be hard, being willing is the real enjoyment of life. Dear Pamela, you are a person who has come from the past and should understand this. ”

Teasing casually, he pushed open the door and walked in quickly.

The communication is still connected, and the ore spectral analysis number has been sent, Dai Xiaolou quickly opened the personal computer database, looked at the rapidly refreshed number on the blue light curtain, and his expression suddenly became wonderful, and he couldn't help but whistle.

"It's actually a high-grade "blue grade" ore. Dude, you're in luck. You know, it's rare for someone to come back safely from their first exploration of the space realm, let alone gain something? Most of the people who went in couldn't get out, they either encountered the Vortex Turbulence or the Shattered Spatial Realm. Can you understand what I'm saying? It's like you're blindfolded and you can't see the exact location of the chest, but you're on the edge of a cliff. And then...... Wow! stepped on the air and fell to pieces. ”

Resources should also be classified. According to the different grades of white, blue, purple and red, which are subdivided into three categories: A, B and C. Referring to the spectral analysis number, the ore that Su Hao took out was the most valuable Class A zircon in the blue rank.

Su Hao's expression was very calm: "I'm only interested in the value of this thing." ”

"Alright! You're such a profit-only guy. ”

Dai Xiaolou's expression was a little sarcastic, and he said in a talk show host-like tone: "If it's just such a small stone, then I'm in charge, and a few silver coins can send you away." ”

Su Hao said lightly: "I brought back about five hundred and thirty kilograms of ore, all of which are of the same grade. ”

Dai Xiaolou's thinking was very sharp, and he immediately grasped the point of the conversation: "In other words, you found a high-grade zircon vein over there?" ”

Su Hao didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, and still asked in the same tone: "How much are these ores I brought back worth?" ”

Dai Xiaolou's expression suddenly became serious. He sat up straight and asked, "Sue me, what do you want?" Gold? Or military merit? ”

This answer was unexpected, although surprised, Su Hao did not show it on his face, and asked quietly: "What's the difference?" ”

"According to the regulations, 20 percent of the proceeds must be handed over for found materials, and the rest can be attributed to individuals. If you want gold coins, I can exchange them for you at the market price of the General Administration of Industry, and the payment will be paid directly to your account. Of course, you must also pay sufficient personal income tax in addition to the prescribed amount. Otherwise, the Imperial Police Inspector General will take the initiative to get you in trouble. ”

"Excellent! And what about military exploits? ”

"There are two kinds of military exploits. One is military feats in the traditional sense. The other is the newly promulgated Imperial Contribution. You should know better than anyone how useful that thing is. ”

Su Hao thought for a while and asked, "Can you tell me the specific purpose of my military exploits?" ”

"Huh! I knew you were going to ask this. ”

Dai Xiaolou smiled, his face full of expected expression: "You have to understand that if you find resources and hand them over, they will be given directly to the General Administration of Industry or to the headquarters of the main army, and the results of the two actions are the same." If it is the former, of course, it can also be exchanged for military merit, but it is only limited to ordinary troops, that is, the "Category B" National Defense Force. If it's the latter, your name will appear on the merit sheet of the main clan. In other words, the Wehrmacht and the Directorate-General of Industry would not have recognized these military exploits. ”

"It's a complicated and weird way of calculating."

Su Hao frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the way the Imperial Wehrmacht and the main army should remember merit should be completely different?" ”

"Wow! In your rude and strong body, there is a brain full of wisdom, not just muscles. ”

Dai Xiaolou's words couldn't be heard whether they were sarcasm or flattery, but the content was very important: "You guessed right, the Wehrmacht and the main army are two different systems. The calculation criteria for the latter are more demanding than the former. In short, if it is a discovery worth 10,000 gold coins, you can get a corresponding amount of material rewards from the General Administration of Industry, or you can exchange it for military merit of equal value from the Wehrmacht. But in the main legion, the value of these finds is greatly reduced, only thirty percent, or even less. ”

"Military merit can be used for the huàn rank, or for powerful standard equipment. Taking military rank as an example, maybe your findings can get a brigadier general rank in the Wehrmacht system, but in the main corps, at most a major, or even a captain. All right! Don't look at me with that weird look, the main army is not the Wehrmacht's kind of waste. Military rank does not mean a qiē, strength is fundamental. That's why you're able to use your contribution points to exchange huàn to those sets of power armors, and it's also a lot of dù, and it's also stained with the light of that biological sample. That thing is very valuable to us to study, so Your Excellency Commander has decided to make an exception and give you preferential treatment. However, rules are rules, and special circumstances can occasionally make exceptions, but it is impossible to take this as a permanent practice. "You can also exchange military merit of equal value from the Wehrmacht. But in the main legion, the value of these finds is greatly reduced, only thirty percent, or even less. ”
