Sheyan was baffled by the strange behaviour of the two weapons, 'Repentance' and 'Ambition'. He waited for a long time, but nothing happened. Even the experienced and knowledgeable Miner was at his wit's end. He reckoned that he would have to wait for some time before he could take action, so he stored the weapons away first. In short, these two weapons were destined to be meat in Sheyan's stomach. They were already cooked ducks that could not escape his grasp.
Next, the pair of energy batteries appeared among the unsold items. The guy who wanted to raise the price reaped what he sowed. If he had allowed Sheyan to bid for them, he would have earned at least 10,000 utility points, but being able to sell them now was an unexpected gain.
After the auction, Sheyan was supposed to return to his nightmare realm and go home to rest. He had been scheming against someone at the auction, so he was now even more tired than before. His eyelids were already fighting fiercely, but he still forced himself to persevere.
He found that he could find a lot of confidential information in the miner's database. Although the confidential information was still somewhat different from the actual situation in terms of the conditions required to obtain 'Ambition', it was still quite useful.
Sheyan had already received an additional promotion mission from the Empire's Festival. This mission was one of the most popular unconventional missions. The flow of time was different from the worlds that Reef and the others experienced, so there was no need to delay their normal adventure time in the Nightmare Realm.
Sheyan had a bold idea. He wanted to see if he could make use of this opportunity to complete the follow-up mission, 'Silver Mission Series Hidden Branch, Chapter 2: Injection' at the same time. This way, Sheyan could avoid being forcibly separated from his party when he went to the next world. He could then be transported to a designated world to inject the necessary energy into the liquid metal enhanced lifeform. "
After hearing Sheyan's request, the miner began to check the data. After a while, he said with a troubled look on his face.
"Your first mission involved your military rank, so the confidentiality level has been raised to 'B'. The second mission might involve the appearance of a divine artifact, so the confidentiality level has reached 'Red'. If I want to check it, I can only climb over the wall …."
Sheyan immediately understood the meaning behind the song, he immediately replied.
He immediately said, "If there's a fee to be paid, just name it."
The miner shrugged his shoulders.
"Red confidential information and 'B' confidential information …. You have to be at least a General-rank to get access to them, so climbing over the wall won't be cheap at all."
Sheyan smiled.
"There's a saying in my hometown: you get what you pay for. I'm not afraid of the price, but I'm afraid that the information is inaccurate. "
The miner replied bluntly.
"As for the accuracy of the information, you can rest assured …. One hundred and twenty thousand. One hundred and twenty thousand is the amount I used to pay for the reaction to climb over the wall. Two hundred and twenty thousand is the risk fund I used to climb over the wall."
Sheyan transferred 120,000 yuan to the miner without hesitation. The miner soon provided him with a series of information.
"Additional promotion missions are often given to people who have made outstanding contributions, such as ranking first in honor points on a high-level battlefield, killing some of the leaders who have entered the red wanted list, and so on. You're really lucky to have caught this opportunity during the Empire's celebration. According to the analysis, the most likely mission for this kind of mission is to kill the natives who are resisting. The second most likely mission is to map and collect information about an unexplored area. The last mission is to rescue someone. "
"In order to inject energy into the liquid metal enhanced life form, you need to go to a specific area of the world to collect some special ores with relatively poor metal content for the life form to devour. These ores are also called spotted crystals. Oh, why do you need the spotted crystals to be relatively poor in metal content?"
"That's because the devouring ability of the liquid metal enhanced life form is still very weak at the beginning, so it needs to be cultivated slowly. If you feed it with high metal content ores from the beginning, it'll be like feeding a baby fat. It'll only do you more harm than good. Besides, the non-metallic components of the spotted crystals are also very helpful for the division and proliferation of metal cells."
"So, according to your request, there's a chance that these two missions can be completed together. When you choose the mission, you need to choose the target planet as wild and primitive as possible."
"Because, in essence, spotted crystals can also be regarded as a kind of metallic life form. They're very, very sensitive to pollution. The larger and more developed the area, the less likely it is for spotted crystals to exist. To put it bluntly, the exhaust emissions of a spaceship when it lands is enough to dry up a spotted crystal of nearly a thousand square kilometers. "
Sheyan recorded all this information down, but he was a little surprised when he heard what the miner said.
"When I went to that world, didn't I directly go through the portal?"
The miner gave Sheyan a deep look and said, "Now you're a lieutenant colonel.
"You're a regular lieutenant colonel now. You're qualified to know some high-level secrets." (This involves a lot of background information. I've published it on the internet before, but I'm guessing that many readers don't know about it, so I've specially mentioned it again. There's no need to publish a VIP chapter, so the public version of the book is free to read. Please check the relevant background information of the public version of the book.)
After listening to the Miner's introduction, even with his intelligence, Sheyan was dumbfounded for a moment.
"So, the extra promotion mission I've just received? Is it part of the planet colonization plan? And the place I'm going to is no longer a parallel world destroyed by space-time turbulence, but a real planet that exists in the future universe? "
The miner nodded.
"That's right."
Sheyan's body stiffened for a moment.
He couldn't help but say, "This is really beyond my imagination. “
The miner smiled and said, "Don't be nervous.
"You don't have to be too nervous. Before you're sent out on a mission, you'll definitely be given a series of training so that you can adapt to the environment as much as possible and avoid dying in vain. Let alone a Lieutenant Colonel, every contestant who becomes a Major is a treasure."
Sheyan nodded his head and replied.
"I understand."
The auction was over. The surrounding virtual scenery was gradually losing the support of energy and became blurry and fluctuating. Sheyan looked at the miner and asked,
"Is there any other information you can provide me?"
The miner thought for a moment and smiled.
"Unlike you, most of our workplaces are on alien planets. We only have a few opportunities to go to parallel worlds. So, I just want to tell you that maybe it's not a bad idea to divert your attention to look for an extra opportunity in a chaotic parallel world. But on those undeveloped planets, the only way to survive was to focus on doing one's own job. Being distracted is undoubtedly looking for trouble for yourself. "
After that, the miner disappeared from Sheyan's sight. Sheyan also returned to the nightmare realm he belonged to. He half-leaned on the recliner and pressed his index finger against his temple. He could feel a throbbing pain there. His mind was also a mess. There was no room for him to think at all.
He walked out of the nightmare realm in a hazy state and returned to the real world.
After Sheyan walked out of the stairs, he found that although it was still nine o 'clock in the morning, the subtropical sun was scorching hot, pouring heat directly onto his skin. Perhaps such ultraviolet rays were a little too strong for people who came here for vacation or work, but for Sheyan who needed to relax, he enjoyed the warm feeling very much.
He wandered into a coconut forest in a daze and asked for a hammock that was commonly seen for rent in the area. He found a fresh coconut and laid down comfortably on it.
An indescribable sense of comfort immediately spread all over his body.
The sparse branches and leaves of the coconut tree filtered some of the sunlight and shone on his body. It was warm and quite comfortable. Sheyan sucked on the sweet juice of the coconut and held the straw in his mouth. As soon as he lay down, he snored softly and fell asleep.
***
Sheyan was awakened by the old lady who rented the hammock.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes and got up. Although his body was still very eager to fall asleep, he could see that the sky was already red in the distance. The sun had already set below the sea level. It was already past seven o 'clock in the evening. It would be very bad for his body if he continued to sleep on the hammock.
Sheyan shook his head. The thousands of thoughts that had been hovering in his mind all rushed to his mind. He felt an inexplicable itch on his back and stretched out his hand to scratch it. In the end, he felt that his back was full of deep marks left by the rope of the hammock.
Sheyan turned his head and sucked in a breath of cold air. It turned out that because he was too tired, his muscles were completely relaxed during sleep. In addition, he sat up in a very anxious manner, so his neck was suddenly choked with a tearing pain like a cramp.
In fact, Sheyan's situation was considered good. In the hospital, there were even patients who drank too much and died. That was because the muscles around the neck were completely relaxed due to alcohol anesthesia. When a friend moved the drunkard, his movements were a little too big and his head was swung from left to right. In the end, without the protection of the muscles, his cervical vertebra was directly fractured ….
Sheyan clutched his neck and sucked in a breath of cold air. Then, he walked towards Xiwu Pier. Sleep was no longer his number one priority. His rumbling stomach had already raised a serious protest. He randomly found a food stall and sat down.
The boss was quite familiar with Sheyan. He first served him two deep-sea oysters that had just come ashore. Sheyan used a knife to pry open the oysters and directly drank the juices. Although the taste was a little fishy, once one got used to it, they would feel a very special taste inside.
Following that, the famished Sheyan naturally had to eat. Oyster fried, Cantonese porridge, stir-fried sprouts, stinky tofu, and other appetizers filled the entire table. Furthermore, the golden grade prawn was rather authentic. The prawn head was wrapped in starch, while the tender tail was preserved. The 'artificial prawn head' was fragrant and delicious, while the tail was tender and plump, making it hard for one to stomach.
After filling his stomach and planning to go back to sleep, Sheyan's nightmare imprint suddenly heated up, indicating that there was an abnormality in the interspatial space. He knew that there must be some abnormalities. He only treated it as the result of the meeting between the two weapons, 'Ambition' and 'Repentance'. However, when Sheyan excitedly inspected it, his face instantly turned solemn. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at * * (qidian.com).
