I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Blue Star, the capital of Xia Kingdom.

It was already the next morning when the transport plane landed at the small airport of the headquarters. The other two teams had already returned earlier.

In comparison, their situation is much better than that of Captain Liang. The team members' mental strength recovered quickly and they have returned to work.

The association has received the task report sent back by Su Mo and is very clear about what happened and the results.

When the Xia State's Ministry of Foreign Affairs negotiated with foreign countries, it said: The rescue team members are Xia State's precious assets.

This is not a scam.

Even though the situation in Xia Country is relatively stable now and a certain amount of resources are brought in every day, it still costs a lot for the Association to train a high-quality awakener.

The points given for the tasks posted by the association are relatively high, and the prices of products sold internally in the association's shopping malls are relatively low, and the difference is borne by the state.

Not to mention the death of forty team members at once, even the death of one senior Xia country official would be heartbreaking.

Although it is a bit unrealistic to say this, it is the reality.

Fortunately, Su Mo also brought back the other party's internal documents and experimental data this time. Although those things may not be the core information of the laboratory, they can also allow the association to have a general idea of ​​what the so-called laboratory is doing.

Nearly half of Captain Liang's team died this time. The surviving team members have developed some resistance to such missions as going out for rescue, and need psychological counseling.

At the headquarters airport, Fang Wanfu led a team to pick people up.

After saying goodbye to Su Mo, the team members were picked up by the arranged car.

Su Mo opened the warehouse door and asked the staff to take the prisoners and Captain Liang, whose situation was unknown, away separately.

Finally, she put the supplies in the bracelet that belonged to the rescue team directly into the truck driven by the association, and handed over all the looted documents and experiment-related materials to the person who came to take over. Only then was the matter completed.

Su Mo and Fang Wanfu left together in a car, and they would send her back to the college first.

"Your task report has been received. We will calculate your points after the statistics are completed." Fang Wanfu said.

"Well, just transfer it to my card." Points are still very useful. Although Su Mo has a lot of points, she wants to earn more.

Thinking about the bombs and some small props used in Country A, the effect is quite good. I don’t mind stocking up some more for emergency use.

"That laboratory is an organization under a man named Dr. T. He has a great influence in Country A. Even now there are some people in our country who are cooperating with companies related to Dr. T." Fang Wanfu told Su Mo some of what the association had investigated.

This is what the association has investigated, especially the one or two companies that have been put on the list of key observation by the association, in order to prevent them from assisting Dr. T in causing trouble in Xia Country.

"When we went to provide assistance, didn't the people in Country A inform the Association in advance about the situation of their local forces?"

"This time, three teams in three places had accidents almost at the same time, but it was the work of two different forces. This is really outrageous."

Su Mo couldn't hide the indescribable expression on his face.

"Who would believe that they did it together without any discussion? How could such a coincidence happen?"

Fang Wanfu shook his head.

"We have interrogated the two Fire Spirit captives. They have no connection or cooperation with Dr. T. It should be said that they have no cooperation with other forces in Country A. This incident was just a coincidence."

"As for whether the ambassador of Country A who contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs deliberately knew about it but did not disclose it, we still have to wait and see. Under the current circumstances, we can only ask and negotiate with him, and we cannot directly copy him..."

Fang Wanfu's voice was light and no emotion could be heard.

Su Mo secretly rolled his eyes, not understanding what they were worried about. They still didn't fall out after all this.

"What about other countries? The rescue team didn't encounter similar situations in other countries, right?"

"We encountered some conflicts in the early stages, but they were not a big problem. The locals knew that the rescue team was there to deliver supplies, not to compete with them for resources, so basically they would not cause trouble."

"But there are still a few places where we encounter tough Zergs. They are very difficult to deal with. Xiao Su, if you have time..."

"No, I really don't have time now." Su Mo crossed his hands and refused bluntly.

"I have exams tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I'll be very busy at the auction afterwards."

She is interested in earning points, but she is not a "babysitter".

She didn't want her leaders to think that they could ask her to solve any problem. She would go if the matter in Country A was an emergency, but forget about the others.

Fang Wanfu was just asking tentatively. He was not disappointed when Su Mo rejected him. In fact, he had the same idea as Su Mo. They didn't want to ask Su Mo to solve just any trivial matter.

If we really do this, others will not be able to grow.

He patted his hands on his knees and changed the subject, "Let's not talk about those complicated and troublesome things. I want to tell you about the stone."

Su Mo raised his eyebrows.

"The stone altar of the Fire Spirit Tribe?" This was indeed what she wanted to know. Could it be that the association had figured it out in such a short time?

After she finished writing the mission report on her way back, she also studied the stone, but also made little progress.

That stone was very able to attract mental power. Su Mo initially thought that incorporating mental power into it to assist cultivation would make things twice as effective with half the effort. However, after trying it, he discovered that this was not the case. The increase was not much different from whether one cultivated or not.

It seemed as if as long as the mental power was inside it would be enhanced. Su Mo didn't know whether it was just her or if it was the same for everyone. She had to wait for the result of the association.

"You are right. That stone can indeed assist in cultivating spiritual power. The research institute has confirmed this after many attempts."

Su Mo: "..."

She herself was certain of this.

"But later, the research institute also communicated with the Fire Spirit Tribe, and they didn't seem to understand this. They used the stone just instinctively and knew that it should be used in that way. No matter what you ask, they don't know."

"They don't look like they are lying or hiding anything, so they can't communicate any useful information."

Su Mo: "..."

That is probably their inherited memory. The Fire Spirit Clan can be considered a kind of natural spiritual creature. They are born from the Fire Spirit Source Crystal and will return to the Fire Spirit Source Crystal after death.

Talents, skills and other things should be passed down through the inherited memory of the clan, just like ferocious beasts like Baibai.

"Then use it as a material to assist in cultivation. That's pretty good too." Su Mo said.

Fang Wanfu nodded and said, "Yes, Lao Zhao and the others thought so too, but time is still short and they haven't figured out the best way to use it yet."

"This can't be done in a short time." Su Mo could understand. After all, it had only been received for a day or two. How could it be done that quickly?

She didn't think that this kind of stone could only play this role, but the Fire Spirit Clan's cubs couldn't explain it clearly. It seemed necessary to take some time to visit the Fire Spirit Clan's secret realm. Maybe she could find out something by going to the place where the stones were produced.

Well, of course, she just wanted to take a look. Knowing that there were such intelligent creatures in there, she would not let the small tower absorb other people's homes.

"Is the communication between the association and the Fire Spirit Clan going well?" Su Mo asked.

"Yes! Very good! We have contacted the so-called God of Fire. We have already offered the ransom and they will give us a reply in the next two days."

Fang Wanfu was satisfied with this, but Huo Lie was a bit of a headache. He had no awareness of being a prisoner and even started learning Xia Guoyu from the people in the language department of the research institute.

"Do you want that kind of stone?" Su Mo didn't intend to ask for the details of the ransom, he just wanted to know the Fire Spirit Clan's attitude towards that kind of stone.

Are they willing to trade it?

Fang Wanfu glanced at her.

"Why? Didn't you collect two large pieces? It's not enough?"

From the part of the altar that Yang Tian brought back, they could also estimate how much Su Mo had obtained.

"You can never have too much of a good thing. And we haven't discovered any other uses for that stone yet. What if it's a consumable?"

Fang Wanfu was slightly stunned. He turned his head and looked at Su Mo seriously, but couldn't see anything from Su Mo's face.

He simply asked directly, "You don't want to go to their tribe's land?"

"There's nothing wrong with going and taking a look." Su Mo did not deny it.

Fang Wanfu "..."

"After all, the Fire Spirit Tribe is a new race we just got to know. The leader means that if we can establish diplomatic relations, it's best not to use force." Fang Wanfu reminded.

He had learned from the reports of the two previous rescue teams that it was not difficult for Su Mo to deal with the Fire Spirit Clan, and the fact that she was obviously very interested in their things forced Fang Wanfu to give her a reminder.

Thinking of the association's future plans, Fang Wanfu continued, "After they come over to redeem the people, we should organize a delegation to go there. We'll let you lead the team then, so you don't have to go alone. Is that okay with you?"

Su Mo: "..."

What does Minister Fang's expression mean? Is he worried about me going to buy goods?
