Shen Yuchi was very satisfied with Cai Jin's answer, but he still said without batting an eyelid, "What if the enemy can pass through the bamboo forest and reach the mine?"
"Don't worry, Director-General. There are also many rock-elemental Companion Beasts in the mine. It won't be easily discovered. There's no need to mention the warehouse. The Companion Beasts set up were personally selected by me. They have extremely powerful concealment and reconnaissance abilities. Furthermore, their positions will be adjusted every week to prevent any possible problems," Cai Jin said.
"Okay." Shen Yuchi was rather satisfied with Cai Jin's answer.
When working in the bureau, one was most afraid of being careless. If there was any oversight, even a very small problem could trigger a chain reaction and cause huge trouble.
Just by looking at Cai Jin's arrangements of the mine, one could tell that he was very meticulous. He was indeed a good material.
"Endure it for another two years. In two years, we will conquer the world together," Shen Yuchi said as he patted Cai Jin on the shoulder.
Cai Jin said respectfully, "I'm willing to follow you for life, Director-General."
"Heh heh." Shen Yuchi didn't comment. All he did was smile as he patted Cai Jin on the shoulder. "Let's go to the warehouse to get some Primordial Crystals. The purchase of the Aurora Pith is very important, so we can only use the warehouse."
Cai Jin led the way as he asked, "Director-General, can the Aurora Pith really advance a Holy Light Angel to the Mythical stage?"
Shen Yuchi nodded and said, "Those experts have already proven it many times. As long as there's enough Aurora Pith, there's an 80% chance that a Holy Light Angel can advance to the Mythical stage."
"It would be great if it succeeds. Our bureau will have another trump card. We don't have to be subservient to those families anymore," Cai Jin said.
"Don't spout nonsense. Our bureau is a subordinate organization of the House of Lords. We naturally have to obey the orders of our superiors. Furthermore, it's only a Mythical Companion Beast. Don't tell me you really think it can fight them? "Shen Yuchi said indifferently.
"It was a slip of the tongue, but it's still a ray of hope," Cai Jin said.
"The Primordial Crystal mine is our hope. With it, we can exchange for the resources we need. Only then will we have a chance to nurture Mythical Companion Beasts in the future. Watch it well. This is our fate," Shen Yuchi said seriously.
"Director-General, don't worry. As long as the mine exists, we will." Cai Jin made a military pledge.
Shen Yuchi was about to say something when he saw an inspector running over in a panic.
"Why are you so flustered? What did I teach you?" Cai Jin reprimanded with a frown.
Shen Yuchi hated people who panicked the most when they encountered something. Usually, Cai Jin had never seen his subordinates so crude. Yet, Shen Yuchi had come in such a panic. Wouldn't that make Shen Yuchi think that his subordinates were incompetent?
"Sir, something happened in the mine." The inspector didn't calm down because of Cai Jin's reprimand. He still said in a panic.
"What happened?" Cai Jin's heart skipped a beat. He immediately had a bad feeling. There could have been a problem at any time, but it had to happen when Shen Yuchi was here.
"The bottom of the mine has collapsed, and the mine below has been blocked. Our people can't go down now, and we don't know what's going on down there." The inspector briefly explained the situation.
"A large-scale collapse?" Cai Jin heaved a sigh of relief. If it was just a collapse, it wouldn't be a serious problem. At most, they would just have to spend some time digging.
"Call everyone over. Reinforce the mine first, then dig up the collapsed area. Let's see what happened," Cai Jin instructed.
"Director-General, let's go to the warehouse first," Cai Jin said to Shen Yuchi after making the arrangements.
Shen Yuchi nodded and followed Cai Jin to the warehouse. He was quite satisfied with Cai Jin's way of handling things. Accidents would always happen. As long as he had the ability to handle it, it was fine.
Soon, the two of them passed through many checkpoints and arrived outside the warehouse. Only when Cai Jin and Shen Yuchi were present could they open the door.
"Director-General, please come in." Cai Jin opened the door and made an inviting gesture.
However, before Shen Yuchi could walk in, his gaze landed on the warehouse and his expression changed drastically.
"Cai Jin, what's going on?" Shen Yuchi's expression was so gloomy that it was about to drip water. He stared at Cai Jin with a fierce glint in his eyes.
"What do you mean what's going on?" Cai Jin looked into the warehouse and was instantly dumbfounded.
The warehouse was originally filled with rows of metal boxes, but now, not a single one of them could be seen. The huge warehouse was empty except for two huge potholes on the ground.
"Director-General … I really don't know what's going on … The Companion Beasts I set up are still there … Why isn't there any reaction … Yesterday, I even looked through the observation hole … The Primordial Crystals are all there …" Cai Jin stammered.
He knew that the problem was huge. These Primordial Crystals could be said to be all the Special Inspector Bureau's wealth. Now, more than a thousand boxes of Primordial Crystals had disappeared right under his nose. This was a huge crime.
Shen Yuchi's face darkened as he didn't say a word. His figure moved like a shadow and instantly entered the warehouse. He stepped into one of the potholes and a sword beam shot out from his finger, slicing apart the gravel in the pothole as he charged deep into the pothole.
Cai Jin reacted and chased after him. When he caught up to Shen Yuchi, the scene in front of him left him dumbfounded.
It was unknown what had dug out a huge space in the huge underground Primordial Crystal mine. It was as though the middle of a mountain had been hollowed out. There were only a few rocks supporting the upper layer. The other rock Primordial Crystal mines were gone. And this area was clearly the area with the most Primordial Crystal mines that they had already explored.
"No … Impossible …" Cai Jin was dumbfounded when he saw the top of the building cracking and the huge hole where rocks kept falling. Even if the miners were Epic-ranked experts, it would probably take them a year and a half to dig such a huge project.
However, if someone had really dug for such a long time, it was impossible for him not to have noticed anything.
"Director-General … I … I really don't know anything …" Cai Jin felt his body turn cold. This was a huge calamity. He didn't know how Shen Yuchi would deal with him.
Shen Yuchi ignored him as he stared intently at the constantly collapsing underground hole. He remained motionless. After a while, Shen Yuchi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale as his body swayed.
"Director-General …" Cai Jin was alarmed as he hurriedly went forward to support Shen Yuchi.
At that moment, Zhou Wen had already left Don't Cry Valley. He originally wanted Tyrant Behemoth to eat more and leave nothing behind, but to his surprise, Tyrant Behemoth showed signs of evolving as it ate.
He was afraid that it would evolve in the mine, and since he didn't know how to dig holes, he wouldn't be able to leave. All he could do was dig out with Tyrant Behemoth.
Not long after entering the bamboo forest, Tyrant Behemoth began to evolve. It had eaten too many Primordial Crystals. Its body constantly emitted crystalline light, turning it back into a Companion Egg.
