If Xiao Moshan wants to reach the highest level, naturally it can only be done at Dawn Base and Abandoned Mine. The conditions there are too bad.
However, he and Xiao Qin are already iconic in Abandoned Mine. Once they leave, that place will be useless.
Qu Jianlei thought for a while and sent Yuanyuan to guard it. Tian Yin and Claire were in the middle to provide support.
After all, there is no need to retain the Abandoned Mine stronghold for too long.
After the Celestial Hook Mystic Mansion conversion is completed, everyone can evacuate from Tianfeng Star.
After Yuanyuan rushed there, Xiao Qin also came to Dawn Base. Now, her advancement is still far away.
However, she seemed to have accepted the result and looked quite calm.
Hua Xiezhi saw this and couldn't help but say something to her, "If you work hard, there is still hope!"
When Xiao Qin heard this, he just smiled and said nothing, but Xiao Moshan said, "Okay, you don't need to say any more."
They all climbed up from the bottom, but with three points Naihe, who wouldn't know how to cherish the opportunity?
Three months later, Xiao Moshan successfully overcame the disaster and became the second Wind Attribute in the team after Hua Xiezhi.
However, after advancing, he did not rush to choose the magic weapon, but expressed that he hoped to use the magic weapon in exchange for Xiao Qin the opportunity to overcome the tribulation.
He didn't know how to advance Xiao Qin, but he thought that the boss might have the means.
If the boss has no choice, it doesn't matter. He is willing to guard a certain contact point with Xiao Qin in the future Suiyue.
As for team battles... he won't participate if it's not necessary.
He wanted to spend more time with Xiao Qin for the rest of his life, and then continue to work for the team through life and death.
I have to say, this guy's personality is really troublesome. He used to be foolishly loyal to the army, but now he just wants to accompany Xiao Qin.
But on the other hand, he who has always liked to fight and kill, maybe... really longs for a peaceful life.
Only those who have truly experienced displacement and turmoil can best understand the value of peace, right?
Of course, guarding a contact point is not absolutely peaceful. They were almost killed by the Imperial Capital Academy before.
But for Digital Phantom, who has little contact with the outside world and is famous for being mysterious, a fixed contact point is also necessary.
But what Qu Jianlei is thinking is: Xiao Qin should be over eighty years old now?
Unconsciously, he has lived for more than seventy years in this life.
Time flies so fast...
After Xiao Moshan advanced, he did not rush back to Tianfeng, but took Xiao Qin to Misty Rain Terrace.
The two traveled there for two months and continued traveling to Rock and Future Star.
The cost of using teleportation is very high, which is equivalent to a trip with public funds.
However, the two of them have been guarding the deserted mine of Tianfeng for many years, and they have worked hard without any credit, so this fee is nothing.
Seriously, this piece of dog food made Paranoid feel a little touched, and he also went to Misty Rain Terrace to accompany Mu Yu.
Fourth Boss accidentally heard about this and went to Future Star to find You You.
The relationship between the two is a bit subtle, they are more pure friends than lovers, but the main reason is that You You doesn't have much feelings for him.
But Fourth Boss didn't take it seriously. Instead, he found the boss and asked him to help find out how likely You You was to reach the highest level.
You You's qualifications are also relatively average, but a little better than Xiao Qin. Qu Jianlei did a casual divination and felt that there is still hope.
Unknowingly, the sour smell of love filled the Digital Phantom team.
Regardless of Xiao Moshan's impact on the team, the disaster he suffered when he overcame the tribulation again made the government make a painful decision.
They sent Above Supreme Datela to discuss the purchase of Heavenly Demon and information on overcoming the tribulation.
Datela is a good friend of Da Vinci. During the years when he was trapped in Maiden Star Region, he also helped look after the property.
Previously, Datela was not sure whether his friend's recent disappearance meant that he had taken refuge with Digital Phantom.
Now that the news is confirmed, he came here not only to help the government to make a case, but also to have some personal thoughts.
Unfortunately, when he arrived, he did not see Da Vinci.
The person who received him was Jia Shuiqing. She said that Da Vinci had gone into seclusion to practice. As for the specific location... it was not convenient to disclose it.
But Old Lady Jia also said that after seeing Da Vinci, she would tell him,
Datela felt a little disappointed. As a result, there was no one left to help Guan Guan.
However, he still had to complete the tasks assigned by the government.
Officials stated that the empire is currently fighting on two fronts and the financial pressure is too great. The price of one hundred billion is simply too high.
They hope to pay RMB 500 billion in advance to purchase general and superficial information, and then consider purchasing some targeted information later.
Formally, officials appear to recognize the value of the information they possess and are willing to pay the price.
But Qu Jianlei feels that this amount of 500 billion... is a bit interesting.
The cost for Duo Gan to purchase Star Cluster is also 500 billion. Is it a coincidence?
She paid the fee in installments. From the empire's point of view, the two expenses could be considered to be offset.
Of course, from an operational perspective, there are some technical issues.
For example, from a financial perspective, borrowing and disbursement should be two-way, and local income and imperial income are also different.
But no matter what, the amounts of these two huge transactions are actually the same. This topic should not be ignored.
Moreover, huge payments may involve many links, including but not limited to position calls.
In this case, why can't we deal with special cases and offset the funds from both sides? But coincidentally, Datela said nothing about the Star Cluster purchase fee paid by Duo Gan, which is a bit interesting.
Qu Jianlei doesn't know much about finance, but Mu Guang knows something about it.
Mu Guang said, Boss, what you think may not be correct, but there is no doubt that this number implies something.
He believed that the most likely thing was that the empire was unwilling to acknowledge the deal to acquire ownership of Star Cluster.
Maybe they want to imply that the transaction is illegal, after all, so far, the empire has not passed the registration.
However, the empire may also simply want to express that these two things are one and the same and cannot be confused.
To expand a bit, the empire may still object to that transaction in the future.
I have to admit that people who are engaged in political governance do have many issues to consider.
That is to say, Mu Guang has been engaged in gray transactions all year round and is relatively sensitive to similar things.
In short, he believed that the empire offered such a price but did not connect the two things, at least it could not be said to be in good faith.
Qu Jianlei was unhappy upon hearing this and instructed Jia Shuiqing to ask Datela directly.
"This 500 billion is equivalent to the cost of Duo Gan purchasing Star Cluster. Why can't the two be offset?"
Datela actually knows this reason very well.
But he also had instructions. If Digital Phantom didn't ask, he didn't need to take the initiative to mention it.
Now that the other party has openly asked the question, it shows that they are not without relevant sensitivity.
He could only reply, "If they are offset, wouldn't that be an endorsement of that transaction?"
Disapproval does not necessarily mean that you must oppose it, but endorsement at least means acquiescence.
Jia Shuiqing understood what it meant as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help but sneer, "You spend all your time on these?"
In any case, the other party deliberately quoted such a price, at least implying that it would not support that transaction.
She couldn't make the decision on this kind of thing, so she informed the boss.
Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and said, "Whether you want to get away with it... the more you get, the greater the cause and effect. All we want is Energy Block."
The key is that the purification of the Celestial Hook Mystic Mansion has entered a critical period and is not far from success. At the same time, the consumption of Energy Block has also increased dramatically.
Previously, he had accumulated the next part of Energy Block, but now it is being consumed rapidly, and the inventory is in a state of being unable to make ends meet.
If adjustments cannot be made to the supply chain, it won't be long before Energy Block's storage capacity is exhausted.
And this 500 billion Energy Block will be a very effective supplement - anyway, it is always right to prepare more margin.
However, it is very regrettable that although he was ready to accept the other party's hint, Datela said that he could not pay with Energy Block.
"What the empire means is that this amount of funds can be disbursed in one step, but I hope you can set up a dedicated account."
The account will definitely not be monitored, but being able to monitor it is disgusting.
Datela actually hates this answer because it is obviously a further test by the government.
——If Digital Phantom can accept that the deal is not justified, then you can try to continue to exert pressure.
However, Jia Shuiqing's answer was very straightforward, "If that's the case, then you can leave... I don't want to see you in the future."
She didn't even need to ask her boss for advice when making this decision. She had seen some ungrateful people, but she had never seen anyone so ignorant.
"Sorry, that's not what I meant," Datela said quickly.
"I'm just relaying it for the government... What they mean is that the current war situation is tense and the supply and demand of Energy Block is a bit unbalanced."
"Don't say those useless things," Jia Shuiqing said with a cold face, "If you continue to pester me, I will make it impossible for you to leave even if you want to!"
Datela At this moment, I really feel like having a seizure. It's all Above Supreme. Do you need to be so arrogant? He is not a master who is used to receiving anger!
But in the end, he still snorted coldly, "I'm just passing the message on behalf of others, why do you have to be so evil?"
"Evil appearance, evil appearance... ha," Old Lady Jia sneered, "I was doing it for Da Vinci's sake, otherwise I would have taken action directly."
This transaction actually failed like this.
Jia Shuiqing went to the boss to explain, saying that he really couldn't hold back his anger and was willing to take responsibility.
However, Qu Jianlei shook his head disapprovingly and muttered softly, "It's still being targeted more and more."
Then he issued another instruction to increase the production of the existing Energy Stone Mine as much as possible.
He was not sure whether the government had reached a consensus and wanted to do something to Digital Phantom, but at least he was being targeted by some people.
