Spirit Stone Hunter

The biscuits in this shop are out of Ma Xiaotian's expectation.He thought it was just like the ordinary puff pastry he knew, but he didn't expect it to be a rather unusual noodle staple food.According to his understanding, it should be more appropriate to cook the noodles. The size of the noodles is almost the same. It tastes smooth and has a unique fragrance, unlike the flour they usually eat.What interested Ma Xiaotian the most was actually the soup of this pancake, which was as thick as thickened cornstarch.He can be sure that there are beef stick bones in this soup base, because the aroma of beef and the unique aroma of bone marrow are very obvious, and there must be other ingredients in it. In short, the taste is so good that he wiped it out all night in one breath. Not even soup left. "I want more!"

Eating three bowls of puff pastry in a row was already an extraordinary appetite for Ma Xiaotian.After he was full, he leaned back on the back of the chair and hiccupped. Although it was a bit uncomfortable, he felt extremely comfortable all over.The main reason is to satisfy the desire of the appetite, it is really cool to think about it.

The four of them didn't go to the hotel first, but ran to the local mine management station.

There are three mining areas around Guanshui City, two of which are crystal mines and one is a spinel mine.However, spinel mines are mined by the state, so private individuals will not be allowed to enter and collect them.The two crystal mines are both called Guanshui mining area, but the No. [-] mine is almost exhausted, and currently everyone is concentrated in the No. [-] mine.Today they are going to check the location of the ore package. The No. [-] mining area was originally selected.

In fact, there are not as many people who come to pack ore as expected.One is that the price of the ore package is not cheap, and the other is that the rate of return obtained from the price and output is not as big as the gap between the third and fourth-level spirit stones.So when the four of them arrived at the management station, they were the only ones who came to pack the ore.And after checking the location of the ore package, there are really many places to choose from.Even including the No. 20 mining area, there are more than [-] mining sites that have not been contracted out.

The so-called ore package refers to the mine site planned by the owner of the package ore.Each mine is divided by regional coordinates, but it really depends on how many minerals are included in the mine.Regardless of the different prices of the mines, the mine owner will not tell the contractors which one is more and which is better.So fundamentally speaking, ore-packing itself is also a kind of stone gambling behavior.It's just that the gambling nature of crystal mines is much smaller.

Ma Xiaotian has learned all kinds of common sense about crystals, and has also seriously inquired about the formation and geological factors.But after all, most of the crystals are wrapped in the mine capsule, and the internal structure of the mine capsule is unknown, so it is hard to say what the result will be.He didn't dare to judge which one he should choose from the knowledge in the books.

The mines are big or small, but the smallest price makes Ma Xiaotian's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys ache.The price of nearly [-] million made him lose interest in contracting ore immediately.

The people at the management station didn't say much because of the hesitation of the four of them. Instead, they recommended a mine with a relatively cheaper price. "Should you bring this little appraiser for the first time to test the ore? No wonder, after all, most of the crystal mines are pure energy ore bodies, so the price has not been cheap. There are a few small mines on the No. 500 mine. , No one has ever been there. But some experts have visited before, and it may not be very optimistic to be honest, so the price is the cheapest. It can be booked for [-] million.”

500 million is not a small amount!Ma Xiaotian continued to feel pain. "Can I get a discount then?"

The staff was a little embarrassed: "This is already the cheapest."

Ma Xiaotian pouted maliciously and acted cutely.But this tender little face, coupled with his naturally beautiful appearance, worked really well. "However, it's much smaller than other mines, and it's a little cheaper."

It is normal to negotiate the price of the ore package. After all, no one can say for sure how many mines there will be in the mine, but mine owners all have a minimum price, so basically the range that can be lowered is not large.In the end, 500 million was only 20 less, but this has already made Ma Xiaotian much more relieved.At least they can do a lot with the 20.

After taking the contract from the management station, Ma Xiaotian clutched his chest. "I still feel distressed, it hurts too much. What if there are not so many mines?"

Zhan Jiu put his arms around him: "Make finished products and sell them."

Ma Xiaotian looked up at him, and finally calculated silently. "Then the things I make can't be sold casually."

Zhan Jiudao: "It can be put in the auction. Maybe a few pieces can be compared to the price of the package. Originally, the package is not necessarily a stable profit."

"Of course I know this, so I was horrified when I saw such an expensive price. Fortunately, the crystal mine is not a big gamble, and it can be sold to an energy factory no matter how bad it is. It can also be used to collect agate. I feel much more at ease when I say that. By the way, shall we hire workers?"

Zhan Jiu nodded: "Of course. Excavation and excavation are not things we can do. If you talk about it, 20 yuan is enough to rent the storage bag in the mining area and hire workers. It's just that hiring workers requires us to pay for three meals a day."

Ma Xiaotian looked downcast: "Don't ask me to do it!"

Zhan Jiu shook his head: "Of course not. You can buy it directly, but if you give them a taste of your cooking once or twice, they will definitely work harder."

Ma Xiaotian patted his chest: "I was shocked. Why do you need five or six people to hire people? They are all manual labor. If I cook all the time, I won't be exhausted."

Huo Congting was amused by him: "Don't you like cooking very much?"

Ma Xiaotian flicked his wrist: "You can't torture yourself if you like it. I'm not a chef."

Ying Feng also smiled: "Okay. I'll help you. Let's go, find a hotel near the station of the direct train to the mining area, and rest overnight. We have to get up early tomorrow. It will take a day and a half to drive to the mining area."

Naturally, there was no "sleep" this night.Huo Congting and Zhan Jiu definitely keep their word.

Especially Zhan Jiu, regarding the "big white cat", he carried out all kinds of "torture to extract a confession" on the bed, and finally Ma Xiaotian cried and begged him to let him go.But holding the soft little guy in his arms, Zhan Jiu felt that the title of "big white cat" was actually a good one.After arriving at the mining area, it must be very interesting to run around the vicinity with Xiaotian on his back in the avatar armor.

After hearing Zhan Jiu's suggestion, Ma Xiaotian didn't look forward to it at all. "I don't want it, and you will find excuses to bully me again."

Zhan Jiu touched the back of Ma Xiaotian's hand with his thumb, and he could not put it down. "Am I bullying you?"

Is not it? ! !Ma Xiaotian roared in his heart, but he was too rational to say it out loud.After all, it was indeed me who was pestering people in the first place, but the disparity in physical strength is so great, it's really bad. "snort."

This sound broke Zhan Jiu's heart. "Stop it."

I didn't make a fuss... But I'm really tired and sleepy, really annoying, let's not talk about it...

Of course, Zhan Jiu didn't know Ma Xiaotian's inner drama, but seeing the person in his arms fast asleep, he also closed his eyes contentedly.

Just two people in another room didn't end up so easily.As far as Correspondence Feng is concerned, it would be really bad if his physical fitness is much better. On this point, he absolutely cannot have a common language with Ma Xiaotian.

Fortunately, although Huo Congting did not look like a person in bed as usual, it was more like his armor state, with a strong wolf nature.But once Ying Feng really couldn't bear it anymore, he would still contain himself in time.This ability sometimes makes Ying Feng feel a little exaggerated.After all, it's not for everyone.

But no matter how many hours they slept, when they woke up the next day, the four of them were in very good spirits.

After eating a tasteless breakfast at the hotel, the four of them quickly boarded the direct train.

Ma Xiaotian's waist is really not as resistant as Ying Feng's, so the car drove out of the suburbs, and when it was really bumped in the wild, he ouched several times.

Fortunately, there was no one in the car, so Zhan Jiu simply hugged Ma Xiaotian into his arms and let him sit on his lap.In this way, there is a human-shaped shock-absorbing cushion, and the big hands on the waist are very comfortable to protect, Ma Xiaotian feels much better.

Huo Congting was very envious of Zhan Jiu being treated so well, but he turned his head to look at Ying Feng, and his junior brother was looking at the scenery outside the car window with a serious face.It made him only envious. "What are you looking at?"

Ying Feng replied: "Nothing, just to see what prey I can hunt around here. What's wrong?"

Huo Congting sighed in his heart.Sure enough, Xiaofeng is serious.It's also my fault that I protected him too closely before. Maybe it would be much more lively if he was allowed to go to school and get in touch with more people.Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful again. "Xiaofeng, do you want to go to school to study armor engineering?"

Ying Feng shook his head: "I never thought about it. Isn't it good to be at home? You are the instructor of the Form Armor Engineering, and you have all kinds of books at home. I can also go to the laboratory to study research. Isn't going to school also listening to you and other professors? Yes. Is there a difference?"

"But you can meet a lot of people in school." Huo Congting said.

Ying Feng looked puzzled: "I can meet a lot of people now. And I am not the same age as the current students. The key is that I have obtained a university diploma for many years. Brother, what's wrong with you? What are you doing all of a sudden? "

Huo Congting also felt that there was something wrong with his head. "It's nothing. I just want to go back after this month. I must concentrate on making up lessons. I don't have time to accompany you. I'm afraid you will be bored."

At this time, Ma Xiaotian poked his head over, actually put his chin on Zhan Jiu's shoulder, looked at Huo Congting and Ying Feng behind them, and interjected: "It won't be boring! Xiaofeng and I have a lot of things to do. Arrange a new The house, and we still need to study special pendant making, Xiaofeng also said that he wants to learn basic mold making from me, and he is very busy. Besides, haven’t you made an appointment now, have you done special training during the summer vacation?”

Huo Congting was speechless.But he also knew that he definitely had a brain problem today to think about these things.Looking at Ma Xiaotian, a little guy who is alive and kicking all day long, he really has no reason to be worried.Xiaofeng's character has improved, not at all.

At this time, the car stopped suddenly.

This kind of direct car will not stop unless it encounters danger in the wild, so everyone is nervous.

Zhan Jiu quickly put Ma Xiaotian down, and immediately looked out the window.

There were no ferocious beasts blocking the way, so they were in the middle and rear of the car, and nothing happened outside the windows on both sides.Huo Congting stood up and pressed Zhan Jiu's shoulder. "I'll go and have a look, you look after Xiaotian. After speaking, go to the front.

In fact, there are not many people in the car, and most of the people who go back and forth to the mining area every day are Quebec, and even the spirits are protected by bodyguards.Therefore, the people in the car were basically not worried about their safety, but they were instinctively alert to the general situation when this happened.

When Huo Congting walked to the front of the car, he had already seen the situation outside through the window.Lying in front of the car was a spirit man, who seemed to have injured his leg, with a painful expression on his face.At this time, the bodyguard following the car had already gone down.In this case, saving lives is certain.Just how could there be a spirit lying in this place?You must know that there are barriers to leaving the city, no one will let a spirit person leave the city alone.But if it is not a person, what about the Queek who protects him?
