Of course, these gains weren't enough, so Wang Dong still had to drag his exhausted body onward, piloting the Explorer Type 2 to gather some other minerals.
After rushing against the clock, Wang Dong managed to fill seventy to eighty percent of the Explorer Type 2's cargo hold with minerals of moderate value or higher before the normal mining period ended.
That should be enough to explain himself.
On the way back, Wang Dong encountered several mining ships heading in the same direction.
During their casual conversation, Wang Dong heard some interesting news.
Someone was offering a bounty for any valuable information about Kindling Warships and Shipborne Modules.
Because of the nature of their work, interstellar miners were a relatively closed-off group.
They needed only expert skills, and the only people they dealt with were their fellow miners and the Mining Company.
The fact that even such a closed-off group had received the bounty notice showed that the person behind it had gone to great lengths to gather information.
What's more, the person offering the bounty didn't care about revealing their existence.
That kind of effort and approach led Wang Dong to identify the person behind the bounty right away.
Sima Delang was almost certainly the one.
Wang Dong chuckled.
He had never been particularly good at conspiracies and schemes.
But the information advantage he'd gained through his rebirth, when it came to his enemies, was enough to let him play the all-knowing strategist a few times.
Last time, Sima Delang had used a similar tactic.
So Wang Dong had long since prepared a countermeasure: turn the tables and Divert Disaster Eastward.
Wu Haoze was in charge of the Fourth Merchant Team of the Earl's Territory of Tianfang.
During this trading expedition, he had successfully acquired a purple-quality Shipborne Module.
