The group discussed it, but when they thought about it, it made sense. Lu Siya was one of the best of the third generation in Sky Pillar Corporation. If she was willing to go underground with her status, what did they have to be afraid of?
"Then, are there any powerful people in the other mine exploration teams?" A cunning light shone in the eyes of a scheming person.
"The mine exploration teams in Sky Pillar Corporation don't have any competitors that are too threatening," Lu Siya said.
"The spirit energy ley lines underground contain powerful and rampaging spirit energy. It's like a snowy mountain or a sealed warehouse filled with flammable and explosive gas. The slightest movement will cause an avalanche or an explosion.
"When superhumans go deep into the spirit energy ley lines underground, their brainwaves and vitality magnetic fields are easily affected by spirit energy. The higher their cultivation realms are, the greater the risk of being affected. If they fight underground, the possibility of them going through spirit energy deviation is dozens of times higher. In fact, their brains might be burned by spirit energy, and they'll turn into idiots or lunatics.
"In the most extreme situations, the vitality magnetic fields of peerless fighters will cause the spirit energy ley lines underground to resonate so violently that rampaging spirit energy will rush out of the ground like a volcano eruption. The energy that can be mined for decades will instantly surge to the limit, and the consequences will be dire.
"So, the mine exploration team members won't have high cultivation realms. Those who have just entered Heaven Realm are already their limit.
"Besides, the people at the peak of Heaven Realm and Deity Realm have to stay in Graveyard Forest and Raging Waves to fight against Apocalyptic Beasts. So, even if we run into competitors underground, at most, they'll be superhumans of the same cultivation realm.
"And I believe that if our cultivation realms are the same, my team will definitely be invincible among those of the same cultivation realm!"
Her words caused the group to laugh.
"Alright, rest well at the east lake base tonight and build up your strength. Tomorrow, we'll go into the depths of Graveyard Forest. As long as we find the Red Radiance Jade mine, the world will be ours!"
Lu Siya gave a few more instructions before she strode toward Meng Chao and Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan was about to pull Meng Chao to the side to talk, but Lu Siya interrupted him. "Lin Chuan, can I talk to Meng Chao for a while?
Lin Chuan's pupils shrank. Without a word, he made way for her.
"Meng Chao, do me a favor."
Lu Siya went straight to the point. "I know that you know a lot of people in the harvester circle. Can you recommend a harvester to me? It'll be best if he's in the east lake base and can carry out missions at any moment.
"He doesn't need to have a high cultivation realm. He can be one or two stars, but he has to have a lot of experience in surviving in the wild and has harvesting skills that are above average. It'll be best if he has some fighting strength to protect himself so that he won to not become a burden to the team.
"If I have such people, I, I can sign a contract with them of. You. I, you., for the mission. I, I. You. I. for the mission." Lin, "You. for..
". and.."
"The mine exploration team leader has to stay in the wild for a long time, and it's very easy for him to run into problems like food and materials shortages. Harvesters are the standard for a team, but the two veteran harvesters I contacted have something to do at the last minute, so they can't come."
... and of of them.................
Meng Chao thought about it. "You don't need to have a high cultivation realm. What do you mean?"
"The higher your cultivation realm is, the stronger your vitality magnetic field will be, and the easier it will be for you to be affected by the spirit energy ley lines. Most of the time, even four-star superhumans like Lin Chuan don't dare to act recklessly in sealed spaces where crystal mines gather and spirit energy is incredibly thick. At that time, a boy in Spirit Tattoo Realm will be very useful."
Lu Siya paused for a moment before she explained further. "Don't think that our goal in this mission is just to get rich. If we can really find the Red Radiance Jade mine, we'll have a chance to end the northern offense ahead of schedule and save countless lives."
Meng Chao could not understand. "What do you mean?"
"I told you just now. It's precisely because the vitality magnetic fields of the peerless fighters and Apocalyptic Beasts clashed against each other that the spirit energy ripples stirred up a resonance with the underground spirit energy ley lines, which led to all sorts of extreme weather. The spirit energy magnetic field interference is also very strong," Lu Siya said.
"Rain poured down, lightning flashed, thunder roared, fog wreaked havoc, and communications were cut off. The Red Dragon Army's mechanized army couldn't be deployed, and the steel army that humans are so proud of sank into a swamp. This is the main reason why the northern offense has been dragged out.
"Right now, the spirit energy ley lines are still resonating with each other. Even before winter arrives, they don't show any signs of stopping. If humans want to gain complete victory, they might have to pay a devastating price.
"But as long as we can find the Red Radiance Jade mine, which is the mine with the richest spirit energy in the area between Shattered Starlake and Raging Waves, the crystal and spirit energy experts will naturally have a way to use it to calm the resonance of all the spirit energy ley lines around it.
"At that time, the clouds will disperse, and the sky will clear up. Our steel army will be able to charge through Shattered Starlake, and we'll be able to turn Graveyard Forest into a barren land with our cannons firing at the same time. We'll naturally be able to minimize our losses and win this battle beautifully!
"You also hope that the northern offense will obtain a glorious victory as soon as possible, right? Let me introduce you to me. Are there harvesters like her in your circle?"
Meng Chao stared at Lu Siya for a long time.
Lu Siya had a determined look on her face.
Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath and said, "Big Sis Ya, I don't know a lot of harvesters, but if we're limited to one-star superhumans, I don't think there's anyone who's stronger than me!"
Lu Siya smiled. "Are you recommending yourself?"
"Big Sis Ya, isn't that why you asked me to enter the aerial fortress and listen to such a detailed mission introduction?"
"You're smart, and I like dealing with smart people like you. That's right. Once I noticed that Lin Chuan has an assistant like you and understood your background and skills, I think that you're the most suitable person for this mission," Lu Siya said.
"But you're still in university, and this mission is a little dangerous. I wonder if your tutor will agree to it?"
Meng Chao shrugged and said, "The children in Dragon City can kill monsters when they're in their teens. Every year, the national college examination and the university will show the number of injured and dead students. Even in a place as safe as Shattered Starlake, there are more than one or two students who are injured or sacrificed.
"The northern offense concerns the survival of millions of Dragon Citizens. If we lose, the city will be destroyed, and everyone will be in danger.
"As long as you're willing, Big Sis Ya, I'll talk to my tutor. Right now, Shao Jianqing, Wu Wu, Han Xing, Xu Sheng, and the others have already followed the powerful fighters into Graveyard Forest to fight. Every step they take is filled with danger, and their lives are hanging by a thread. But isn't this how powerful fighters are trained?"
"Well said!"
"Then, I'll wait for your good news. If you need any help, just ask. Sky Pillar Corporation has a certain degree of influence in the alliance of the five universities. As for the contract and payment …"
"Well, I trust Big Sis Ya. Even if it's because of Big Brother Lin, she won't let me suffer a loss." Meng Chao smiled nonchalantly.
Right after Lu Siya left, Lin Chuan went forward anxiously and dragged Meng Chao to the side.
"What did she say?" Lin Chuan asked eagerly.
Meng Chao answered honestly.
"You shouldn't have agreed. She must have had her eyes on you and was just waiting for you to volunteer."
Lin Chuan's eyebrows were scrunched up so much that they looked like they were going to squeeze water out of them. "She likes using people like us the most."
Meng Chao had returned from the apocalypse, so he could naturally tell that Lu Siya had not come up with this idea on the spur of the moment.
However, the other party's last words had moved him.
As long as they found the Red Radiance Jade mine, it would be possible for them to calm down the resonance of the spirit energy ley lines underground and get rid of the extreme weather and spirit energy magnetic field interference on the surface. Then, the steel army would advance forward with loud rumbles under the tactical network's guidance and win this war.
In his previous life, the northern offense might have been reduced to nothing because of the resonance of the spirit energy ley lines underground.
Now that he had the chance to get to the crux of the problem, there was no way he would back down.
He thought about it and pretended that he did not understand. "People like us?"
"Poor kids like us who don't have any background or family connections," Lin Chuan explained.
"The inheritance of power in Sky Pillar Corporation is very complicated. Lu Siya might be the third generation of the corporation, but there are five people in the second generation who are in the prime of their lives. They also have more than ten siblings in the third generation. The fight for power is even more intense than the fights in the palace on Earth.
"Lu Siya might be a Spirit Sensor and is ambitious and capable, but she's definitely not the most favored one.
"This time, Sky Pillar Corporation has sent a few mine exploration teams to explore the Red Radiance Jade mine, but Lu Siya isn't part of them. She can only form her own mine exploration team in hopes of winning by a surprise move.
"This matter can be major or minor. It might decide her future in Sky Pillar Corporation and the Lu family. That's why she didn't look for powerful people who came from rich families. The rich might be powerful, but there's a high possibility that they have connections with her older siblings and uncles. She might not be able to control the Red Radiance Jade mine with an astonishing amount of resources.
"Poor people like us don't have a lot of connections with the rich families. Even if we really discovered the Red Radiance Jade mine, it's impossible for us to have other thoughts. Aren't we the best candidates?"
"I see."
Meng Chao thought about it. "Big Brother Lin, why does it sound like you don't have a high opinion of Ms. Lu? Aren't you good friends? Or could it be that … she's actually a bad woman and has done … bad things to you before?"
Lin Chao stared at Meng Chao for a long time before he understood what he meant.
His handsome face instantly turned red. If he were not in front of so many people, he would have jumped three feet high. "What are you thinking about? What do you mean by 'bad things'? Of course not!
"Ms. Lu and I are indeed good friends. She took good care of me when I was in school. How should I put this? She's definitely not the bad woman you think she is, but she comes from a rich family, so it's inevitable that she's a little domineering. She doesn't go back on her word. I believe that you've sensed it, right?"
"If you think that Ms. Lu isn't a bad person, I don't think there's a problem," Meng Chao said.
"Since she's the leader of the team, it's normal for her to go back on her word. I'm not that naive. When I step into society, I have to learn how to deal with people like that."
