"This is clearly against the rules. The risk to the Sons of Gu Yinduo is too great. They created something like the Gu Yinduo Energy Core, which is already a very dangerous thing.
If we allow them to extract more energy from Gu Yin, it may lead to even more unpredictable situations.”
The old man talked a lot, but Yi Xiaoya didn't seem to want to pay any attention to him.
"Haha! Hidden dangers? Risks? Aren't those things that haven't happened yet? Why should we worry about things that haven't happened yet
Boy, you think too much. If we talk about the research and development of the Sons of Ancient Yinduo, isn't the Lighthouse much more serious than Zion? They all treat the Lightcast's head as a light bulb.
If you have so much time to spare, you might as well go to the lighthouse and give them a stern warning."
Calling an old man over 100 years old a kid is probably something only an old antique like Yi Xiaoya could do.
After all, her age is almost impossible to verify. She looked almost like this when Zion was first established.
Now, more than 100 years have passed, and her appearance has not changed at all, still so coquettish, still so... old!
"Master Yi Xiaoya, I am discussing serious matters with you, but you are here making excuses. Who will be held responsible if something goes wrong?"
"Isn't it that nothing happened? These kids did a good job. If we give them the Lightforged Heart, maybe they can research something better. Hehehe."
"But they just said that they want to extract the energy from the heart..."
"That's good too. Haven't you heard what the young people say? It's our responsibility to fight against the darkness!" Yi Xiaoya said, clenching her fists.
"My generation? Everyone of your generation has already passed away."
Although the old man was very dissatisfied, he didn't say anything more.
…
After the night passed, Xu Le held Ding Ke and sat on the wall of the gate to Area 3.
According to past experience, after the Kuroshio ends, all personnel involved in the battle will be given two days of mandatory rest, and the cleanup work will be carried out by personnel in the city who did not participate in the Kuroshio defense work.
It is usually burned directly.
But the situation this time is different, and it can even be said that the gap is huge.
Not only did Zion not give people a direct holiday, but it asked the people who stayed behind to work overtime, and even recruited some ordinary factory workers in Zion and the idle Tianrui Lifeng mercenaries.
The requirement for them to come over was simple, which was to conduct a simple inspection of the corpses left on the plain battlefield.
If there is a lot of ancient sound energy remaining, these monsters need to be dragged onto the cargo transport vehicle and transported to the gate of Area 3.
They needed to determine the size and energy retention of these bizarre carcasses.
If it is too big, it cannot fit through the door; if the energy is too little, it has no value.
These people were not quite sure why Zion collected these bodies, but judging by the stability of Zion’s city defenses last night and the earth-shaking artillery fire, Zion had done a good enough job.
It was indeed a brilliant achievement that Zion was successfully defended without involving any civilians in the battle.
After such a result, the public will have almost no objection to anything the Zion Progressives do.
"What a pity for those giants..."
Meow! ~
Xu Le stared at the giant's corpse with a regretful expression.
That thing is a level 5 monster and is extremely huge. If it can be stuffed into the furnace, it will definitely be able to produce a lot of soap.
At that time, he will hold the soap in his hand and use the space-based cannon to bombard the new giant, and continue to turn the giant into soap, a perfect positive cycle.
pity…
"You guys stay here for a while. I need to rest for about 4-8 hours."
Xu Le blinked, and Wang Shu immediately understood.
Although Ai Li, who was standing by, had no idea what the two were flirting with each other, after a night of intense defensive work, it was understandable that Xu Le wanted to take a break.
"You guys go ahead. My condition hasn't changed much. You can continue to supervise from here."
Faced with Rewi Alley's work requirements, Xu Le did not refute anything.
After all, she is a level 4 warrior, and there were no overly dangerous battles during this black tide, unlike last time, when she needed to fight Yan Luo alone.
There is naturally no problem in staying and continuing to work at this time.
"Well, then you stay here and supervise. We'll be back after taking a break."
Ai Li watched Xu Le and Wang Shu leave arm in arm, thinking about what Xu Le had just said.
"Let's take a break... aren't we getting too intimate?"
After returning to the Guangming Soap Factory, Xu Le went straight back to the core of the furnace, while Wang Shu went to look for Gan, who had already entered retirement life in the factory.
Gan Mingming is only in his 30s, but he has lived like a 60-year-old during this period.
Xu Le did not force him to do anything. Gan had already done a lot for them, and the thread of fate entangled with Gan was very complicated. Xu Le had a hard time getting rid of the shackles of fate with the help of others.
Before you have enough strength, it is better to reduce the contact between yourself and Gu Yinduo's thread of fate.
Returning to the core of the furnace, Xu Le put the cat on the tree, and then leaned against the Guyinduo Soul Tree. Before closing his eyes, Xu Le also gave some instructions to Yan Luo.
"Master Yan, please help me pay attention now."
Yan Luo:? Before it was Lord Yan Luo, now it is Master Yan, right
"knew."
Yan Luo was working diligently on processing the Ancient Sound Multi-Energy Crystals. The harvest of Ancient Sound Multi-Energy Crystals last night was simply unimaginable. If converted into soap, how much would there be
1,000? Or even more
1,000 bars of soap, if converted into space-based cannons, can even fire 83 shots.
What does 83 rounds of space-based artillery mean? If they were fired at the city of Zion, even if it couldn't raze the city to the ground, it would probably be almost the same.
After explaining everything to Yan Luo, Xu Le slowly closed his eyes, put on the mask, and let himself sink into the realm of the Dark Mother Tree.
Because there were always a lot of things to explain every time, Xu Le didn't come early.
When he crossed the water-drop road of the Mother Tree Realm, the other six had already arrived.
But the current situation is a little different. Although there are six people, one person is different from last time.
The old man who always argued with the dwarf disappeared, and in his place was a girl who was about the same age as Chi Xiao. When she looked at Xu Le, there was some curiosity in her eyes.
This time, Chi Xiao spoke first:
"The old man is gone. She is a new member. The details have been explained to her, and she has introduced herself. Her name is Duolei."
"Hello, Miss Dore."
"Hello."
Chi Xiao nodded and continued:
"The old man is dead. From today on, you are the sixth one. Introduce yourself."
Xu Le: …
What does it mean that from today on he is the sixth brother? Is this title serious
"Um, hello, my name is Xiong Nuoan."
After Xu Le introduced himself, the others couldn't wait to say:
"Let's get started, let's get started. I can't wait to get started now that I know I can choose the fruit..."
With the experience from last time, these people were looking forward to their choice of fruit.
According to the increasing intensity of the Red Moon Tribulation, as well as the fighting and killing they experienced during the Red Moon Tribulation yesterday, they were already full of anticipation for the fruit that would appear.
Will there be advanced fruits? This is what everyone is looking forward to.
"Very good, let's start now." Xu Le smiled and prepared to start checking the fruits for them.
At this time, Chi Xiao said to Duo Lei beside him:
"He is a very important person and will become more and more important in the future."
"How important is it?" Duolei asked curiously.
"His presence is so important that it cannot be rejected based on personal preference. To some extent, everyone here is close to him and even tries to please him."
"Why? Isn't the choice of fruit an equal exchange?"
Duolei already knew Xu Le's abilities from the previous conversation.
In her opinion, in this model of equal exchange, everyone just needs to take what they need. There is no need to beat around the bush, and there is no need to please others. But Duolei felt very strange that a strong man like Chi Xiao could actually say such words.
Chi Xiao shook his head slightly, it was really too naive.
"Do you really think this is an equal exchange?"
Duolei really wanted to say yes, but after thinking about it carefully, she found that it was not the case, because the initiative was in Xiong Nuoan's hands.
“He can see it, but we can’t, so everything is up to him. The fees he charges are not expensive, but he can easily give a wrong answer, causing us to suffer greater losses.
But his own loss is almost negligible, is that what you mean?"
Duolei is not stupid, but she is not too smart either.
She thought of this only after Chi Xiao reminded her, but the others had already thought of the relationship between each other without any prompting.
Especially the importance of Xiong Nuoan, no one mentioned it at all, and everyone was already treating each other as brothers when they met this time.
"Brother Xiong Nuoan, do you need anything this time? If you do, just tell me." Scarface spoke first.
Others echoed:
"Yes, just tell us what fruit you need, and we will give you priority."
Hearing these people's flattery and praise, Xu Le's mind was as clear as a mirror, and he did have his own requests.
A relationship is only a relationship if it is used. If it is not used, it is just bullshit.
"I do need something. I need a longevity fruit. If any of you have a longevity fruit and are willing to give it to me, I am willing to buy it at twice the market price, or three times.
This choice is free, and the next choice is also free."
"Okay, no problem. I'll give it to you when the longevity fruit comes out."
The longevity fruit was prepared for Old Moen. Considering Old Moen's financial resources, three times the market price was nothing.
What did he pay for it? This time it was free, which was considered a loss of a material or relic, and then the next time it was free too.
Xu Le’s favorite thing to do is to overdraw profits.
This thing is similar to Huabei, but overdraft is actually a kind of demand. These people don’t even know whether they can survive next month. What does it matter if they promise to do it for free next time and make a good relationship
Moreover, for the fruit recipient himself, as long as the fruit is not urgently needed, it is also in his interest to take a longevity fruit at three times the price.
The people here have actually already eaten the fruits, and they will most likely sell the other fruits for money or exchange them for resources.
So there is absolutely no problem with such a transaction.
Moren gets the fruit, Xu Le himself gets Moren's reward, and the trader gets 3 times the price profit. It is a win-win situation for all three parties. Why not do it
Xu Le was surrounded by people, and we were talking to each other.
Watching this scene, Duolei felt more and more ridiculous about her previous principle of equal exchange.
"These people are so proactive just to win Xiong Nuoan's favor..."
"No, they do it for their own benefit."
"Benefit?"
"The Black Tide is very strong this time, and they should have made good gains. So in order to protect their own interests, they need to stay absolutely close to Xu... Xiong Nuoan at this time."
Chi Xiao doesn't like the name Xiong Nuoan very much, it's too long and tongue-twisting.
Here, Xu Le has already started using the ancient sound multi-vision to show the fruits to others.
Longevity, Intermediate Elements - Ice, Mystical Elements - Dream, Advanced Creatures - Sky White Deer...
The ancient sound fruit rewards that appear for these people are varied and all have extremely high value.
The one who obtained the longevity fruit was the fat man. According to Xu Le's previous request, the fat man smiled and handed the longevity fruit to Xu Le. His strength was not particularly strong, and his channels were not very stable.
Therefore, being able to sell a longevity fruit at three times the price is a profit for him.
"This is my contact information, Brother Xiong Nuoan, when the time comes..."
"Don't worry, Zion's Moren Company will give you the money. If I deceive you, no one here will be willing to believe me in the future.
It's not worth it for a fruit of longevity, and you should know that."
"I know, I know."
The fat guy's attitude was very nice, and the situation of the other people was similar.
The fat man was free, and Xu Le got an ancient Yinduo relic from Scarface, the dwarf, and Luo Juya respectively.
A ring, something that looked like a leaf, and a lady's skirt.
He didn't have any strict requirements for the remuneration, but everyone was very sensible this time. No one gave materials anymore. All they gave were relics, and they were all very polite.
"Everyone gave me their relics, how can I feel comfortable with this?" Xu Le put it away without looking at it carefully. He was very cautious when putting things away.
"It's our duty. It's our duty." These people said one after another, feeling a little painful.
After everyone finished their choices, Xu Le looked at Chi Xiao and pouted:
"You first."
"good."
Xu Le did not refuse and went straight to the front of the ancient Yinduo mother tree.
Then, a strong feeling appeared in Xu Le's heart.
The thick branches brought a total of 5 ancient sound fruits, among which the strong ancient sound energy was something that only Xu Le had seen for the first time at Chi Xiao's place.
Guyinduo Fruit-Longevity
Guyinduo Fruit - Lower Element - Earth
Ancient Yin Duo Fruit-Mysterious-Yellow Spring
Ancient Yin Duo Fruit - Intermediate Element - Evil Flame
Guyinduo Fruit-Superior Creature-Qilin
