It is said.
Ordinary Alliance and Aodu Chamber of Commerce have a very close relationship, and there is a vague intention of joining forces to fight against the Xishui Alliance.
But Xishui Alliance is so powerful that even if the two major forces join forces, it will be difficult to shake its foundation.
And there are not many places where the three major forces come into contact with each other.
Only with the compromise of the big shots behind each other have they been able to maintain peace and harmony.
This delicate balance has been maintained for many years.
The three major underground forces are all involved in the reselling of Rare Metal.
After all, this thing can be said to be a huge profit.
As long as it can penetrate the mining channels, the cost is extremely low, but it is more profitable than anything else.
Give a simple example--
Among Rare Metal, there is a metal with extremely high affinity for Soul Power, named Forged Soul Silver.
It can be fused into any metal, enhancing its affinity for Spirit Master Soul Power, while enhancing the toughness and hardness of the metal.
It is a necessary material for almost all high-end Soul Tool.
Forged Soul Silver and Rare Metal are only produced in the Sun Moon Empire, and the output is medium.
The mining cost is about 500 Gold Soul Coin per kilogram.
The price of this thing on the market is as high as one hundred Gold Soul Coin per gram!
One kilogram is equal to one kilogram. The mining cost of one kilogram is five hundred Gold Soul Coin, and the selling price is one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin.
How can a profit of two hundred times not drive people crazy?
Even if you are exploited in various ways during the process, you can still make huge profits.
Among the many Rare Metals, the profit of Forged Soul Silver can only be considered moderate.
Some of the rarer Rare Metal have unbelievable prices.
Huge profits are tempting.
Ming Capital The three major underground forces have influence almost all over the country, so they naturally want a share of the pie.
This area brings them huge profits every year.
This is still under the circumstances where the state has a monopoly on this industry and regards Rare Metal as a strategic material and does not allow export.
Long Zhanye made a choice after weighing it.
He chose the most powerful overall force among the three underground forces - Xishui Alliance.
As for why, only he himself knows.
Xishui Alliance's preliminaries are located in a high-end hotel in the city center.
One of the reasons for choosing this place is that it is close enough to the Mingde Hall and you don't have to walk too much.
Qingse Hotel.
A hotel with a very distinctive name, only one kilometer away from the Mingde Hall.
It is only two kilometers away from the Sun Moon Empire Palace, and is in an absolutely prime location.
It's just that the name of this hotel is often called incorrectly.
It's easy to mistake it for a "love hotel", but that's why it got its name.
This is the industry of the Xishui Alliance.
As for whether Xishui Alliance's headquarters is here, no one knows.
Qingse Hotel doesn't look that big on the surface, with only five floors above ground.
But those who are familiar with it understand that its true strength is reflected underground.
Standing at the front entrance of the hotel were four strong men over two meters tall, wearing tight black suits.
They looked at the passing people with cold eyes, like door gods.
Long Zhanye Before he even came close, a strong man in black was already coming towards him.
As soon as he raised his hand, he blocked Long Zhanye's path.
"The hotel is closed to the public today, please leave."
The voice was cold and mechanical, without any emotion.
Long Zhanye smiled slightly, "I'm here to participate Ming Capital Soul Engineer Elite Tournament."
The strong man in black was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face softened obviously.
The status of Soul Engineer in the Sun Moon Empire is much higher than that of other countries.
Offending a Soul Engineer, even if the other person's level is not high, is definitely not a wise choice.
"Sorry, Mr. Soul Engineer." The tone of the strong man in black became more respectful, but there was still regret on his face.
"The preliminaries have begun and will end soon. You are late."
He paused and added, "According to the regulations, latecomers cannot participate."
Long Zhanye sighed with regret.
"That's such a shame."
He shook his head and looked at the strong man in black:
"Originally, I thought I could represent Xishui Alliance in the finals and help you win the championship."
He paused and then changed the topic. "Do you think this is good..."
"I use 100,000 Gold Soul Coin to bet that I can qualify today."
"Anyway, we don't have much time now. If I can't qualify, wouldn't you give me a sum of money?"
"But if I qualify, it means that Xishui Alliance will have a good Soul Engineer competing."
"It's a very beneficial result for you, isn't it?"
The big man in black was stunned.
"One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin?" He almost blurted out, "Are you sure?"
Gambling in the underground world is by no means a secret.
Without the tacit approval from above, such a large-scale competition would not have been possible.
Therefore, this big man in black did not shy away from it, but he was really frightened by the amount of money Long Zhanye said.
Even some nobles rarely make such a big deal.
And you still bet on yourself?
Isn't he afraid that Xishui Alliance will use secret operations to obtain his money?
Long Zhanye nodded seriously, his expression could not be more sincere:
"I believe in the fairness of the Xishui Alliance. If you can't make the decision, you can ask the superiors for instructions."
The big man in black hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Please wait a moment."
His expression became more respectful, and after a brief salute to Long Zhanye, he quickly walked towards the gate of Qingse Hotel.
Not long.
Qingse Hotel Inside the gate, a middle-aged man wearing an elegant white gown came out.
He looked to be in his forties, with a thin face and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
He behaves elegantly, not like someone from the underground forces at all, but more like a teacher.
Seeing Long Zhanye standing outside the hotel, he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile on his face:
"My subordinates are ignorant. Distinguished guests, please come with me."
As he spoke, he already made a gesture of invitation.
Long Zhanye was a little surprised by his cheerfulness.
He nodded and followed the middle-aged man into Qingse Hotel.
The inside of Qingse Hotel is indeed very "green".
The layout is very simple, so simple that it is a bit plain, and there is no clue that this is the place where Ming Capital underground forces rank first.
It doesn't appear that it is a very important base for the Xishui Alliance.
The layout of the entire hotel has a moist feeling.
There are white porcelain decorations everywhere, white porcelain floors, white porcelain walls, white porcelain lamp holders, and white porcelain vases.
All colors are mainly white and red.
Seeing this, Long Zhanye unconsciously thought of Slaughter City's human blood.
The red decoration is like solidified blood; the white porcelain surface is like dense bones.
He couldn't help but secretly curse: Are those red arrangements heralding blood?
So what are these white porcelains? Blood in the whiteness?
After entering the hotel, the middle-aged man stopped and turned around.
"VIP, do you want to participate in our Ming Capital Soul Engineer Elite Tournament?"
Long Zhanye took a step forward and looked directly at him. "That's right."
