The lord of salted fish does not want to engage in construction

Qiu Shang's request was finally rejected by Rong Di.

In order to encourage the worried Qiu Shang, Rong Di also said frankly: "Even if Ren Zimo is recruited, there is no guarantee that this matter will be completed. You still have to be more active in taking on the responsibilities assumed by the combat team. All the burden is transferred to Ren Zimo."

When Rong Di said it, he thought he was still seeking truth from facts.

After all, if Ren Zimo were to take the initiative to hunt, he probably didn't have ready-made experience.

The star beasts of Garbage Star are basically very good at hiding, and it is not easy to win victory just by relying on the strength of the mecha.

The real enemy is actually the environment.

After arranging the battle group and their trophies, Rong Di just received a summons from Ren Zimo, and signaled the end of the live broadcast.

But what he didn't expect was that he broke up with the people in the laboratory and the combat team, but the discussion in the live broadcast room did not break up.

Perhaps it was because they did not directly interact with the audience. When Rong Di returned to the command room to find Ren Zimo, the live broadcast there had turned to a topic that surprised him.

Many fans with familiar names are discussing with another group of viewers whose account names are unfamiliar, whether the Yi base will end here.

Mainly familiar fans, Lan Yao and the others believed that the easy base had the strength to quickly upgrade to a level 3 base. Even if the base was relatively weak, it would not be difficult for a mandatory time-limited task that all bases had to accept.

On the other hand, the opponents headed by the spectators who criticized before, based on Rongdi's statement just now, pessimistically believe that the overall base has taken a shortcut to upgrade to level 3, resulting in a serious lack of strength, so that there is not even a combat force capable of completing the task. , and thus cannot complete this task that is not difficult for many bases.

In the end, this kind of doubt has further risen to the topic of comparing the strength of the Yi base with many other bases, and whether their tricky way of upgrading should be questioned and banned.

Originally, the voice of opposition has not been able to prevail in their live broadcast room.

But the group of passers-by and spectators gathered due to the enthusiasm for the compulsory mission greatly supplemented the strength of the opposing party at this time.

Because of this, such a discussion, which is beyond doubt in the eyes of the members of the base, has been so hotly spread.

"This development trend is very similar to what Lan Yao mentioned before." Ren Zimo was still watching the live broadcast.

If the audience of these lively discussions knew that Rongdi had brought the snow demon lynx back to the base, they would probably realize that their worries were unnecessary.

But what's interesting is that although Gu Xiangxiang and the others are also trying to explain and try to alleviate the audience's doubts, they all tacitly did not mention Shelley.

"This topic made them question us again. To avoid expanding the discussion to the extent that Lan Yao said, we need to prove our strength as soon as possible." Ren Zimo pointed out the status quo objectively.

"Every time you are questioned, you have to try to prove something. It would be too passive to follow this line of thinking." Rong Di said "tsk", and was very disdainful of the Hoshino Administration's approach.

This is the logic of striving to cultivate excellent model students through strict control.

Moreover, they have to maintain their superficial image and authority.

But does this logic really work all the time?

Just look at the "invitation letter" handed over by Jing Lanyao.

The Hoshino Administration is not as tough as it was shown to the Hoshifield pioneers.

Now that the information is known, it must be used.

What Ren Zimo couldn't figure out was that Rong Di's behavior during this period of time was not like his usual strong style.

Because of being questioned, he chose a lower-risk, down-to-earth development route. This may be Ren Zimo's choice, but it is too forgiving.

Rong Di also made it clear that he was planning a counterattack.

It's just that Ren Zimo has never been able to guess.

If you have to say what kind of unusual arrangements Rong Di made, maybe you can only insist on Ren Zimo learning the supernatural power as soon as possible.

But this is obviously not like a powerful means to fight back against the Hoshino Administration.

However, thinking of the news that he called Rong Di back to the command room, Ren Zimo suddenly understood.

"Is this the counterattack method you prepared?" Ren Zimo asked in astonishment, "You said earlier that those were just arrangements for you to try your luck while waiting. So, is this what you are waiting for?"

The deputy lord looked at the reminder hanging on the big light screen in surprise.

That's a top-level to-do, and it's very urgent.

The specific content of the reminder is a contact call.

What is displayed on the call partner is "Bone Base".

This is the first time they have encountered direct communication with other bases.

Ren Zimo was still surprised when he received the request for a call. He couldn't think of the other party's intention, so he remained very vigilant.

But Rongdi's reaction showed that he was not surprised.

He even smiled and praised Ren Zimo: "You react quickly, little Momo."

This title made Ren Zimo, who was still thinking, distracted for a moment.

He looked up and saw Rong Di's relaxed smile.

It just makes people feel a little complicated.

Now that Rong Di is fully prepared for the new situation that is emerging, there is no need to discuss it any further.Ren Zimo then briefly reported the current situation: "The lord of the Bone Base sent a message just now, asking you to call as soon as possible. Within an hour, he will wait for you to call back."

Rong Di didn't notice the change in Ren Zimo's expression, and nodded naturally: "Then call it back now."

Finally, the offer of goodwill did not make Rong Di wait for a long time. About 2 minutes later, a middle-aged man also wearing the pioneer uniform appeared on the video call screen.

The two sides met each other, and the reactions were different.

Rong Di smiled, but the other party showed obvious surprise.

The person in the picture is about the same age as Fu Taiping, but he has a calmer and more confident demeanor. Although he has short gray hair, he doesn't look old.Surprised, the look in his eyes was still sharp.When he spoke, his voice was full of air and his words were direct.

"Good evening, Rongdi, I'm Gu Yi, the Lord of the Bone Base."

"Hello, Gu Yi." Rong Di nodded, "It's nice to meet you."

In the confrontation of the first sentence, both sides quickly came to a judgment on the opposite side.

"I didn't expect you to be so young." Gu Yi spoke first again, "Aren't you surprised that I came to find you?"

It sounds a bit like looking down on people, but there is no disrespect in it.

"I'm really not surprised. Didn't you leave a message in my base's post? Recently, the news of the deteriorating situation of the star beast swarm has spread, so I think, you are probably coming to me soon."

The person on the opposite side raised his eyebrows, showing a more natural look of interest: "That just happens that I don't need to say more, you should also know why I want to come to you?"

"I probably know." Rong Di didn't finish his sentence, and motioned for the other party to continue.

"As mentioned in the post, I need weapons, armor, metals, and building materials. The best ones are durable and hard things like chrome-nickel alloy, metallic glass, boron nitride, tungsten steel, and diamonds. No. So it depends on what you can give me. On my side, the main products are the products of various star beasts, such as meat, skin, bone, and some special medicinal materials made from star beasts. It’s rough processing. It’s fine to trade with barter or star coins, regardless of the achievement value. If you’re bartering, it’s fine at the market price. Let’s split the cost of hiring a boat. If you have finished weapons, I’ll pay for it. "

Gu Yi simply explained the purpose of coming: "I let people watch your live broadcast, you should mainly collect some materials collected in the early stage, how many?"

"Not much." Rongdi checked the inventory on purpose, and there is no need to check the information now. "There are more than 2000 tons of recycled metal raw materials, and about 2000 tons of recycled concrete aggregates."

Even with expectations, Gu Yi was still shocked: "So few! You don't have enough for construction, right? This family is too weak!"

"We were promoted by leapfrogging, and we haven't landed for 200 days, so it can't be considered slow." Rong Di shook his head.

"No, then we can't talk about it. Even if you have to pull it to me with a total of more than 4000 tons, it's still not enough for a small warehouse on the ship." Gu Yi frowned and said, "Or, are you actually planning to be the buyer yourself? "

"But that's not realistic," Gu Yi immediately overturned his guess, "I've been fighting for almost a year, and the excess is just some meat. If you have a lot of people, you don't need a whole boatload of meat, right? .”

"Also, do you have money?"

"I do have a lot of things I want to buy from you." Rong Di explained calmly, "I have money, but not much. So I prefer to barter."

"...You can't just sell garbage to me, can you? I don't have enough manpower to process raw materials for me." Gu Yi immediately shook his head, "This can't be negotiated. If it doesn't work, you can make an appointment later. It's not that someone draws a picture for your base Yes, I can place a batch of orders. Contact me when you have done enough."

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man sighed in disappointment.

"Orders can be received, the more the better. But now we can also trade first." Rong Di raised his voice, still not in a hurry, "Your situation is not good right now, don't you need emergency goods?"

"What emergency goods?" Gu Yi was taken aback, "How do you know that the situation here is not good?"

Rong Di still sat without moving, without any action to look up the information: "The situation there is also very easy to analyze."

"Your base is a level 4 base, with comprehensive military equipment and defenses, and there is no shortage of survival resources, so there are not many casualties. In the short term, it does not constitute an existential crisis."

"However, this wave of star beasts has lasted for more than a year, and you have no time to stop and rest. The intelligence level and aggressiveness of the star beast tide are higher than ordinary star beasts. They will never give up on the huge human base. Siege the target. To defend a large enough territory, even if you have five or six times as many people as me, it will not be enough."

"If you want to protect people, you have to rely on long-distance, but the star beast tide is a bottomless pit, and it is impossible for ordinary bases to hoard so much ammunition. If you want to replenish, you can only buy it from the Hoshino Administration. During the star beast tide, the star beasts you have It’s worthless, but ammunition is valuable, and every time you fire a shot, you’re losing money.”

"If you want to save money, you can also use close combat. Judging from the things you plan to buy, it is probably the same. Cold weapons are used for combat, and they can be recycled after slow wear; building materials should be used to push out the defense line. After all, if you don’t draw enough distance in close combat, the risk to your people and your safety zone will greatly increase.”

"That's right, my situation here is like this. But what's the use of knowing this?" Gu Yi listened to the description, and his expression became cold, "Don't tell me you are here to sell some clever tricks. I guess you also It's not that easy to go to tutoring about the star beast tide."

"I don't have ammunition, cold weapons, or raw materials now. But I do have a way to relieve you." Rong Di raised his head to stop Gu Yi from retorting, "You can listen to me, it's very simple."

"It is impossible to fight against the star beast tide of the entire planet with the power of a base. It is useless to buy more weapons. The way to survive is not to kill faster, but to take longer. Reduce your damage, If you reduce the frequency of your attacks, you can reduce your overall loss ratio. You lack things that have enough influence on star beasts, and it is difficult to adapt to local conditions, but I have something you can use here ,Much."

Gu Yi frowned and asked: "You mean your trash? Are you kidding me?"

"Not everyone says that garbage is resources that are misplaced. Of course, mine here is also. Moreover, it is specially customized for you, in many ways."

Hearing this, Gu Yi was taken aback for a moment, but hadn't reacted yet.

Ren Zimo, who had been listening carefully and was not in the mirror, suddenly raised his head to look at Rong Di, and suddenly realized.

"Trust me, you won't lose out on this deal." Rong Di smiled.

The author has something to say: Rong Di: (Unconsciously) You are so smart, Xiao Momo!

Ren Zimo: ... (not marrying He Lio)

Later Xizu's story: Once upon a time, there was a human being who didn't understand love and regarded love as brotherhood every day.

Xiao Xizu: Then what?

Old Xizu: Later, he didn't even have any brothers.

Xiao Xizu: But, what is a brother?

Ren Zimo: Good boy, there is no such thing, you heard it wrong.

Rong Di: QAQ
