Mo Qiong stayed in the headquarters for a day and broadened his horizons.
After becoming an official member, his horizons were broadened a lot.
Gradually, he started to not care so much about things like money.
Club members were never short of money, except for selling things to peripheral members.
They could also use the shelter to buy or customize some cutting-edge technology, then use it to open companies, factories, and hire people to manage the industry to make money.
Or they could directly give the money to the finance department and exchange it for shares in various companies, waiting for dividends.
The only ones who were truly short of money were the new club members.
After all, being a club member had nothing to do with one's family background. There were many people like Mo Qiong. If he hadn't found a treasure, he would probably be a 'rich and poor' club member.
But even so, club members who had been around for more than a year would never be short of money.
Even if they were short of money, it was definitely because they were obsessed with becoming stronger.
Mo Qiong browsed the forum and saw many club members selling the fruits they planted. His heart itched.
He also wanted to farm!
Mo Qiong already understood that the Dan Wood that the club members planted relied on something called 'adaptive seeds'.
The seed itself was also a derivative. It was obtained from the anomaly numbered β-019.
Adaptive seeds were planted in different ways and in different environments, resulting in different plants.
It could be the most common crop or a relatively rare plant on Earth.
It could also be an extinct plant or a magical plant with surreal effects.
Dan Wood, Thunderstruck Wood, Deep Sea Lotus, and the like were all grown from this seed.
Some required harsh high-temperature environments, some required constant electric shocks, and some required an environment that was a thousand times the standard atmospheric pressure.
These requirements and methods were all discovered by the Lan Bai Club generation after generation. Until now, no one knew how many plants it could grow.
More importantly, not all of the same conditions could be used to grow the corresponding species.
There was also a large element of luck in this.
For example, Dan Wood. Only in the end under high temperatures that could melt iron, would it be a real Dan Wood.
Many times, the seed would be directly burned to death, or be burned to death after growing seedlings, resulting in a loss.
Note that it wasn't that the seed couldn't survive and died prematurely. It was that it had adapted to the wrong direction.
The data showed that the seeds that had been burned to death hadn't turned themselves into alchemy wood at all. Instead, they had turned into ordinary plants like wheat or willow trees.
An adaptive seed could grow into any plant, and to a certain extent, this was random. Under certain conditions and environments, it would tend to grow into a certain type of plant, but not necessarily.
In any case, the Blue and White Society had not been able to find a way to increase production in the past hundred years. In the end, they could only conclude that the survival rate of Danmu was between 1% and 10%.
It was purely based on looks!
If a hundred seeds were all raised according to the alchemy wood standard, half a year later, perhaps only one would mature. This was one of the most unlucky ones.
If ten of them succeeded, it would mean that they were the ultimate lucky ones.
The official price was 200 Alchemy Wood, but the adaptive seed was only 1 Alchemy Wood. In other words, no matter how unlucky the members were, they could still grow two Danmu Fruits for two hundred points, and all they had to do was watch over and cultivate them for half a year.
Of course, to be so unlucky, it was actually a loss. After all, the cost was not just the seeds.
But the key was luck. What if he was extremely lucky and managed to plant twenty? He had made a huge profit!
Mo Qiong could not wait any longer. He woke up early in the morning and went to the General Affairs Department alone to claim his fief.
Wibo told him that it was best for his partner to bring him to claim his benefits. However, Mo Qiong waited for a day and his partner did not come, so he went to claim it himself.
"Hello, I'm here to claim my fief."
"Mo Qiong, pick a ball." After verifying his identity, the other party directly sent him to an exhibition hall.
On the rows of display cabinets were crystal balls of the same size. Each crystal ball was ten centimeters in diameter, and one could not tell the difference from the outside.
The only difference was that the island inside the ball was different in shape.
"How big are these islands?" Mo Qiong asked.
"See for yourself … Every member has one free chance. Whoever you choose will be yours." The receptionist smiled.
Mo Qiong was stunned. The ball was so small, and the island inside looked even smaller. However, he knew that once he entered, it would definitely be a real island. But just looking at it from the outside, it was difficult to estimate its scale.
The island was bare. Other than rocks and sand, Mo Qiong could not tell how big the island was even after looking at it for a long time.
"They should all be different sizes. Could it be a test of eyesight? But I really can't estimate it. " This was Mo Qiong's first time seeing something like this. Even with his eyesight, he really could not tell which island was big and which was small, much less how many square kilometers it was.
"Could it be that it depends on looks too?" Mo Qiong's expression turned awkward as he looked back and forth.
"Can I soak them in seawater?"
Mo Qiong knew that if he wanted to enter, he would have to soak them in seawater, or at least at the bottom.
However, the receptionist shook his head, not allowing him to choose.
"Could it be that all the old members can tell the size of the island at a glance?" Mo Qiong recalled that Wibo had told him to wait for his partner to arrive before claiming his benefits. Clearly, this meant that his partner could help him pick something good.
"Brother, just pick one. If it was so easy to tell the size, everyone would definitely choose the bigger one." The receptionist smiled.
Mo Qiong agreed, but he was still very concerned about Wibo's hint. There had to be something fishy here.
He was Wibo's proudest student, and Wibo had personally sent him here. Since he had told him to wait for his partner to arrive before claiming his benefits, there must be some benefits.
"But I don't know what my partner is doing. He's not here yet …" Mo Qiong was just thinking when he suddenly received a call.
It was an unfamiliar member, serial number 2009109.
"You are …" Mo Qiong hurriedly picked up and added him as a friend.
"Mo Qiong, where did you put it? Why didn't I see you in the headquarters building? "The other party spoke with a strong smell.
"… I'm choosing the Void Island," Mo Qiong said.
"Oh, are you done?" the other party said.
"Not yet. Why don't you come over and join me?" Mo Qiong said.
"Wait for me."
With that, the other party hung up.
Mo Qiong was startled. This was clearly a rough man, but it was fine. After all, this was his future partner. If he spoke slowly and did not know what he was thinking, it would not be nice.
Since his partner was here, he would wait for him to pick together and see what this partner was capable of.
Since he had nothing to do, Mo Qiong asked the receptionist, "My partner is here. His serial number is 2009109. Do you know him?"
The receptionist thought for a while and suddenly said, "Is he the one in the Gamma-level?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Do you know him?" Mo Qiong said.
The receptionist said with a strange expression, "Gamma-level members are very famous. How could I not know him? He … is very famous. "
"Oh? What do you mean? "Mo Qiong asked curiously.
The receptionist smiled and said, "This man … how should I put it? He's destined to be alone. He has a soul mate, a beautiful member of the club. It can be said that the two of them are a match made in heaven. She even had some feelings for him before. But this guy, even though he knows that the other party can feel it, he still goes to the nightclubs openly. He's been to all the nightclubs in all the legal countries in the world. You know … His soul mate hates him to death. "
"People in the club have a nickname: Dog Thief … Ahem, you know it. Don't spread it. Don't spread it."
Mo Qiong was speechless. Of course he knew about soul mates, but this was too weird.
"Isn't he a little unreliable?" Mo Qiong was a little nervous.
The receptionist smiled and said, "That depends on what you think. If it's about taking in people, he is undoubtedly very reliable. This brother is a very reliable person. But when it comes to women … Let's not talk about it … "
Suddenly, the receptionist's expression became very calm. It was as if nothing had happened.
Mo Qiong turned around and saw a man walking in. He was about the same height as him, but much stronger than him. His facial features were well-defined. His eyebrows were thick and his hair was white. His eyes were very bright. When he walked, it was obvious that he was a very candid Chinese man.
However, he had a cigarette in his mouth. He walked in front of Mo Qiong and took a puff while looking at Mo Qiong.
"Mo Qiong, I've checked your results. Not bad. You can compete with me when I was young. Do you have a girlfriend?" The man smiled and said.
"…" Mo Qiong opened his mouth. He was stunned.
The man smiled and said, "Tsk! Squeak! Why do you sound so fierce? Are you a virgin? "
"…" Mo Qiong was speechless. He did not know how to answer. Why did he ask this question the first time they met? He was not prepared.
Seeing that he did not speak, the man knew what was going on. He smiled and said, "It's nothing! You'll be following me from now on! "
As he said that, he directly grabbed Mo Qiong's shoulder. Mo Qiong immediately felt the strength in his hand. Not bad, very strong.
If he was not a useless teammate, he could accept it. As for his personality, everyone could get used to it after interacting with him for a long time.
Mo Qiong was well-trained. He instantly regained his composure and quickly changed the topic. "I still don't know how to address you."
The man smiled and said, "Oh right, you don't have my information. Brother, my surname is Gou. "
"You can call me Master Gou from now on!"
"Gou … Dog?" Mo Qiong raised his eyebrows. Thinking of his nickname, Dog Thief, his surname was really Gou.
"Not Dog, it's Master Gou! Not a word less! "Master Gou glared at Mo Qiong.
Mo Qiong instantly felt his extremely oppressive aura. That pair of eyes was like a ferocious beast staring at him.
He quickly maintained his smile and said, "Yes, yes, yes … Got it."
