The efficiency of the black market branch in the mechanical hive was very high.
To be precise, the efficiency of the black market had always been very high when it came to earning money.
Four hours later, the branch representative arrived and brought the appointment document of the black market manager.
"Mr. Redbud, this is your manager badge."
The representative stood in the office and called Hayashi River's pseudonym respectfully. In fact, he was even more shocked.
This armed force was very hard to deal with. Over the years, the black market branch had sent people to rescue them, but they all returned in failure.
Not only did Hayashi River rescue the black market members, but he also wiped out this armed force and successfully took over this place. The black market branch did not hesitate and immediately issued the appointment document.
"However, Mr. Redbud, are you sure you want this place to be your first base?"
"You have to understand that the black market manager's base has to pay a fee every year, and it is not a small amount."
The representative confirmed that the base under the black market manager's jurisdiction was also protected by the black market. If needed, they would send forces to support.
However, this protection was not for free.
"Of course. This place is not bad. I plan to build a small city here. "
As Hayashi River spoke, he signed the confirmation document.
The representative was speechless. He had heard of Mr. Redbud's background. He seemed to be from a very ancient force.
Such an ancient force might not have much influence now, but it was probably not lacking in wealth.
"And the employment contracts of these black market members …"
Hayashi River threw a stack of contracts over. These were signed not long ago and were handed over to the black market branch for record.
The representative looked at these contracts and thought to himself, 'Rich people can do whatever they want!'
Hayashi River did not feel the pinch for these expenses. Instead, he was glad that his dividends could finally be used.
To Hayashi River, gold coins could not buy those rare materials, but he could hire people to help him mine them …
This was the correct way to use gold coins!
After sending off the representative, Hayashi River called for Rosa.
"Rosa, your identity is a little sensitive. Tell me about your future …"
Hayashi River sat on the chair and threw a stack of documents to the female Dragon Crocodile. It recorded the recent situation of the Dragon Crocodile Race.
A month ago, the Mechanical Bee Hive was exposed and the Dragon Crocodile Tribe was suppressed by the kingdom. There were disagreements within the tribe and a civil war broke out.
The branch of the Dragon Crocodile race that Rosa belonged to was the enemy of the Dragon Crocodile race's leader. Her identity was a genius warrior in that branch.
Hayashi River gave her two choices. If Rosa wanted to stay, he would help her change her identity.
If Rosa wanted to leave, he would escort her to a safe place.
"Mr. Redbud, I have a suggestion …"
Rosa raised her head. Her vertical pupils, which were the symbol of the Dragon Race, shone as if they were dancing with flames. That was something called ambition.
…
After a long time …
After listening to Rosa's suggestion, Hayashi River said, "Your conditions are very tempting, but how can I believe that you can really reach that step?"
"Based on the fact that I'm the one with the highest chance of fully awakening in the Dragon Crocodile Race …"
Rosa turned her head and brushed aside the hair behind her neck. There was a piece of dragon scale there, shining with a strange light.
If the Dragon Crocodile Race fully awakened, who would be stronger?
This thought flashed through Hayashi River's mind. After looking at it for a while, he nodded and took out an agreement. "Then, let's sign the agreement."
…
After sending Rosa away, Hayashi River felt much more relaxed. The high-level mission was completed, the first stronghold was established, the black market members were settled, and a spy was planted in the Dragon Crocodile Race. The purpose of this trip had basically been achieved.
Next, it was the energy crystal mine …
Hayashi River was a little excited. Didn't that mean that he might have a mine too …
Turning around, a figure rushed over. It was the Flying Giant.
"Mr. Redbud …" The goblin Mechanic rushed over, wanting to hug his leg.
Hayashi River dodged to the side. "Why haven't you left yet?"
"Mr. Redbud, is this how you treat your teammates who have gone through life and death with you? Why do you have to send me away when all those fellows are paying such a high salary? "
The green face of the Flying Giant scrunched up, looking wronged.
"Your salary is too high. It's four times the normal salary," Lin Chuan replied indifferently.
This goblin Mechanic not only asked for a high salary, but he was also very greedy. Who knew what he would embezzle if he stayed here?
"I'm a goblin with integrity! I only take what I deserve. "
As if he could see Hayashi River's disdain, the Flying Giant stood up and promised. He said that he could do the work of four people with four times the salary, or even more …
In the end, this fellow still wanted four times the salary …
The Flying Giant displayed his versatility. Other than the Death Car Driving Skill, he was also proficient in machinery maintenance, defense equipment design, and even architectural design …
Hayashi River had to admit that this goblin was really knowledgeable. In the end, he nodded and made him stay with him with three times the salary.
"Mr. Redbud, if you can pay four times the salary, I can even be your full-time driver …"
Before the Flying Giant could finish, he was kicked away by Hayashi River.
If he made this fellow a driver, the repair fee for [Shadow of the Void Bones] would be many times higher than his salary …
…
Deep in the tunnel.
Hayashi River, Si, and Professor Muta came to the end of a tunnel that was blocked by metal shelves. It was a place to store miscellaneous items.
"The correct location of the mineral vein is here. I applied to use this place as a warehouse for miscellaneous items," Professor Muta said.
As a famous geologist, Professor Muta's expression was easily accepted by the armed forces. That was why the true location of the mineral vein had not been discovered for many years.
The searchlight was turned on, and the three of them moved the metal shelves and miscellaneous items away before walking toward the other end.
After walking another 100 meters or so, he finally reached the end of the path.
Professor Muta took out a probing device and inserted a drill into the rock wall. Beep, beep, beep … The device started to operate, and it started to analyze the structure of the rock stratum.
At this moment, Mossy Bone said, "If it's really an undiscovered Attribute Energy Crystal mineral vein, that would be great …"
"Undiscovered? What's the difference between it and other mineral veins?"
Hayashi River asked Mossy Bone while the device was still analyzing. He was very curious about this.
Mossy Bone did not answer. Instead, he asked Hayashi River, "Do you know how Attribute Energy Crystal mineral veins are formed?"
Hayashi River nodded slightly. There were many types of Attribute Energy Crystals in this world. There were mutated rare metals, and there were also biological ones …
As for Attribute Energy Crystals, most of them were biological ones. They came from the mutated corpses of powerful sea beasts in the five seas.
This was also why the living beings of the continent and the sea beast armies of the five seas had always been at odds since the creation of the Heart Origin Equipment.
Of course, before this, the living beings of the continent had always been the weaker side against the sea beast armies of the five seas. After the creation of the Heart Origin Equipment, the two sides were on opposite sides of the scale.
"Completely undiscovered mineral veins contain extremely dense Attribute Energy. When the mineral vein is opened, it will explode. To ordinary living beings, this Attribute Energy is very violent and extremely fatal …"
"However, for Gifted Lifeforms, this type of elemental energy is extremely good nourishment. Especially Si, he has [Activated Body]. With the Attribute Energy opened by the mineral vein, he can recover a lot. "
"It's the same for you. You cultivate the [Windmill Mist Suppression Technique] and have [Materialized Spiritual Energy]. You can also directly absorb this violent Attribute Energy."
"It's the same for Little Meow. Its bloodline is very unusual, and it can also be directly absorbed …"
Mossy Bone spoke of this secret. In his era, talented living beings had always been looking for such mineral veins to quickly improve themselves.
Of course, nowadays, talented living beings were almost impossible to see. There were probably not many people who knew this secret.
"There's such a good thing … Doesn't that mean I can break through to Realm Three in one go …" Hayashi River was indescribably surprised.
"You're not a talented living being, so the effect might not be as good …"
Mossy Bone gave him a stab in the back, telling Hayashi River not to hold too much hope.
Moreover, the problem now was to confirm whether this mineral vein was completely undiscovered. If it had been excavated a long time ago and then abandoned, forming such a landscape, it would not be effective.
Ding!
The detector vibrated, and the result came out — Fire Attribute Energy Crystal, medium-sized mineral vein. Status: Complete.
"Boss Redbud, it's a Fire Attribute Energy Crystal mineral vein! And it's completely undiscovered … "Professor Wooden Hoof shouted excitedly.
Previously, he was afraid of being discovered, so he had only hurriedly probed it. Now, after careful probing and analysis, the result was even better than expected.
Hayashi River nodded and thought to himself, 'In the future, I'll also be someone with a mine at home …'
