Half of the people on the ferry were going to the big competition, with the same purpose, and for a time the ferry became a place of communication. Everyone formed groups of three or five and took the initiative to greet the people around them. Some wanted to spy on the "enemy military situation", and some were just simple small talk, and there was a buzz in the cabin, which was very lively.

Chang Ming didn't join the conversation. He leaned against the porthole and watched silently outside.

In his own world, he had also flown on a plane. But the portholes of the plane are too small, and you can only see the scene in square inches. Even so, he always wanted to change his position by the window and look out hungrily.

He always had an inexplicable obsession with the sky.

The Organ Ferry is shaped like a sailboat, with large windows in both decks. There are also materials in this world that are transparent and smooth like glass, but much stronger than glass, enough to withstand the pressure, temperature, and air currents at high altitudes. So through the transparent windows that come down the entire surface, the scene outside can be seen at a glance.

At first, it was still in the mountains, and all the undulating mountains were large mountains, and the colors of the mountains were mainly cyan and brown, with occasional other colors dotted among them. There are special plants such as golden bamboo forests, as well as various minerals that penetrate the soil and plants in various forms, rendering the peaks colorful and vibrant.

Qingmang Mountain is on the edge of the Minling Mountains, and it didn't take long for the ferry to leave the mountain. After a short period of hilly terrain, as far as the eye can see, there is an endless plain.

Chang Ming's eyes froze, and he first saw Jin Tancheng.

From a condescending perspective, the terrain I've heard about before seems extremely intuitive. Jintan City is located in the place where mountains and rivers converge, the tributaries of the Qinluo River pass through the city, and the main road is close to the city, like a white line, extremely wide and magnificent.

Looking down from such a high place, you can clearly see the large organ fortress on the Qinluo River next to Jintan City. Speaking of which, aren't there negotiations between Huangsen District and Bailin District? I don't know how things are going.

The Qinluo River flows from north to south, brushes past Jintan City, and submerges into the Minling Mountains. However, it is not the Qinluo River that crosses the plain. On the other side of the Qinluo River are continuous hills, and the sun shines through the clouds and shines on the hills, showing a thrilling reddish-brown color. From a distance, Akatong Castle is located in this large reddish-brown area, which is exactly what its name suggests.

"This area is rich in cuprite, so the peaks are dyed this color. ”

I don't know when, Aunt Lian walked up to him and said lightly.

Cuprite is a common metal mine with a large output and a wide range of uses. The content of cuprite in this area is very rich, and it is said that the red copper can be refined by grabbing a handful of soil directly. The depths of these mines are usually accompanied by energy crystals and control gems, so Akatong City has become the most important institution city and hedron trading and distribution center in the region.

Every year, a large auction of power crystals and control gems is held here, attracting many high-level mechanics.

Chang Ming nodded and said, "So the big competition is also arranged outside the city here." ”

The ferry flew towards Akatong Castle, and the face of the city gradually became clear.

At this time, the boss also came over and said with a smile: "Take it easy, Xiao Chang, as long as you play at a normal level, the winner must be yours!" He winked at Chang Ming, "Don't forget, choose any one!"

Before the tryouts, the boss had promised them that if they won the competition, the Qinglu Factory would reward the winner with 1,000 gold coins and three intermediate and five primary mechanism drawings from the factory's collection. Whether it's money or drawings, this is already a big prize among heavy prizes.

After the trials, when he was about to set off, he called Chang Ming to his home, opened his "treasure room", and said to Chang Ming: "If you win the final victory and help the factory get this order, you can choose one of them as a prize at will!"

After listening to the introduction of these "treasures", Chang Ming asked in surprise: "Can you really choose any one?"

The boss patted his chest: "Of course, I mean what I say! This is not only an order, but also the possibility of sustainable development of the factory after getting the order." A prize for long-term development, do you say it's worth it?"

Thinking of this, Chang Ming laughed: "Boss, you just wait for the bleeding!"

The speed of the ferry is very fast, and in a few small words, Chitong City is already close at hand.

The ferry port is outside the city, and the competition starts tomorrow morning, and the competition format is the same as the selection competition held by the Qinglu factory, so the time is also a whole day. They'll spend the night in town today and leave for the arena early tomorrow morning.

There are not a few people like them who plan like this, and the flow of people in Chitong City has skyrocketed on this day, and the city gate has been jammed with cars, and there has been a rear-end accident.

The drivers of the two machine cars came down to theorize, and there were guards from Chitong City next to him to mediate, this scene made Chang Ming feel extremely cordial, and he couldn't help but smile on his lips.

Most people aren't happy about it, though. Everyone was waiting to enter the city, and the two cars were arguing endlessly, blocking both lanes. The traffic flow is already large, and this time, the slow traffic immediately becomes a traffic jam.

At this time, a convoy drove from a distance, this convoy had eight machine cars, each car was so delicate that it even looked a bit like a concept car from another world, and at first glance it was a high-end car. But no matter how high-end it is, it can only be stuck here now, and after a while, a person got out of the second car and walked towards the center of the accident.

The man whispered a few words to the guard, and the guard immediately showed a respectful expression. A few moments later, a small group of people hurriedly stepped on flying skateboards to the scene, and in a few moments, a large crane was erected, lifting the two machine cars high, and the road was quickly restored to traffic.

The boss said: "That team ......"

Lao Wen said: "It seems to be the symbol of the War Council?"

Chang Ming sighed: "War Committee, isn't this the organizer of the big competition? Is this the referee?"

The boss groaned and said, "It's not like ...... It seems to be a little higher. ”

Chang Ming asked again: "How can the high-level people be blocked here? What I saw in Jintan City before, isn't there a flying mechanism that can directly enter the city?"

Lao Wen explained: "Jintancheng is the junction of two districts, and the situation is relatively special and the constraints are relatively few. Most cities in the Huangsen District prohibit the use of private flying machines. He pointed to the city, "Look there, that's a no-fly sign." ”

The road was cleared, and the convoy was soon in town. The boss looked at the direction of the convoy leaving, his face was full of thought, and Aunt Lian said, "Let's go, anyway, it has nothing to do with us." ”

The boss was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and smiled: "Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with us anyway!"

Chang Ming looked at them and muttered in his heart: It seems that one or two of them have a past......

......

The boss had made arrangements in advance, and after entering the city, he took them to a remote street and into a basement.

As soon as he entered the door, the boiling noise came to his face, and Chang Ming's eyes widened and his face was full of surprise.

This is the kind of tavern that is common in adventure stories, the rough solid wood tables and chairs show the color of the wood itself, and the smell of wine and sweat is mixed with the smell of food, which is very unpleasant, but has a vibrant atmosphere.

The round table was surrounded by people dressed in various costumes, who seemed to have any identity. They came in in a group of five without attracting any attention, and no one would give them a second look. The atmosphere feels very relaxed and stress-free.

The boss led them to the counter, behind which there was a young bartender and a short and fat man who looked very much like the boss. As soon as Humpty Dumpty saw the boss, he immediately burst out laughing: "Old Ji, you're fat again!"

The boss touched his stomach and said angrily: "You're not the same!

Humpty Dumpty laughed and said, "You've said hello in advance, how dare I not be prepared?

He walked out of the counter and led them down, and it turned out that there was a floor below the tavern, and there were several rooms on either side of the narrow corridor, which were surprisingly clean and tidy.

Humpty Dumpty seems to be very familiar with the boss and Lao Wen, but it seems that he hasn't seen them for a long time, and he has been joking with them all the way, but he never involves personal matters, and he doesn't look at Chang Ming and them much.

Chang Ming's curiosity is aroused, this place and this person have a strange feeling, a sense of adventure and mystery.

The five of them arranged three rooms, Aunt Lian went into her own room to rest, Xiao Wang was in a room with Chang Ming, Chang Ming was about to go in, but the boss beckoned to him.

After closing the door, the boss put away his joke and said to Humpty Dumpty, "Second Fat, the news that asked you to inquire has come out, right?"

Humpty Dumpty glanced at Chang Ming: "You just arranged for him to play?"

The boss nodded and introduced to Chang Ming: "This guy, you can call him Uncle Fat, he is an intelligence dealer and our old friend." The information we got before was superficial, and it was known to everyone. I asked him for the inside information. ”

This is a legendary figure!

Chang Ming looked at each other with admiration, and at the same time thought: What does the factory owner have to do with the intelligence dealer? If he can make friends, who is the boss in the past?

Moreover, the boss actually used intelligence dealers to find out the news, is the effort too much? Is it really just to win an order?

These thoughts were spinning in Chang Ming's mind, but his face still didn't come through at all, just listening to the fat uncle introduce the information about the big competition to the boss.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being an intelligence peddler, and the level and detail of the information are far beyond the comparison of ordinary people. Under his outline, Chang Ming also had a preliminary idea of this big competition.
