Jiang Yue knew that there must be something hidden here, but he was smart enough not to inquire.
"Brother Zhi, our trip to Immortal Valley tomorrow is the result of everyone's consensus. And the itinerary has been decided. If we change it, it will involve a lot of trouble. I have to ask everyone for their opinions on this matter."
They are all smart people. Jiang Yue said this. Brother Zhi and others naturally saw that Jiang Yue did not want to change the itinerary. The so-called asking for everyone's opinions is obviously an excuse.
No need to ask, others will definitely disagree.
Du Yifeng first raised his hand to object, and Xu Chunru and others followed suit tacitly.
One second longer in this place means one more second of risk.
Stay two more days?
How much risk is that?
Besides, even though they had a meal and a drink with each other, obviously the foundation of trust was not enough for them to be close and to cooperate from now on.
Du Yifeng and others clearly opposed pushing back the time, which made it difficult for Brother Zhi and Brother Hao to say anything.
After all, this proposal is indeed a bit overwhelming.
Brother Zhi hesitated for a while, and then suddenly said: "Brother Xiao Jiang, it is really unreasonable to ask you to postpone it for two days. In this way, I will put aside the task of my horror house for a while, and let's go to the Immortal Valley tomorrow."
This can be considered a workaround.
Speaking of this, Jiang Yue couldn't say anything against it.
After all, Immortal Valley is an open task, and it is not exclusive to any one person.
Even if they don't mention cooperation, they still have the right to go to Immortal Valley, right?
Besides, people like Brother Zhi were so polite from beginning to end.
So if you reach out and don't hit the smiling person, they have already humbled themselves to this extent. At least on the surface, they really can't say they disagree anymore.
But it seems a bit hasty to agree so easily.
Jiang Yue pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Since Brother Zhi has mentioned this, I will say a few more words. Cooperation is easy to say. But when it comes down to it, can the effect of cooperation be achieved? , but I have doubts in my mind.”
"Brothers, talk quickly. If you have any doubts, let's talk about it first. Break it up and crush it to make it clear. If you explain it clearly, you will have less suspicion in your heart and the foundation for cooperation will be solidified."
"My biggest doubt is, what is it about the Immortal Valley that attracts Brother Zhi? Why should I let Brother Zhi neglect his own tasks and go to the Immortal Valley to take risks in order to promote cooperation?"
Brother Zhi is very bold and generous.
But this is just character, character is not the only criterion for behavior.
Humans are social creatures. Whenever we do something, we must pay attention to motivation and have sufficient reasons.
Is Brother Zhi just because of brotherly loyalty?
Sorry, although Jiang Yue is a middle school student, he is not naive enough to believe that a group of people who meet by chance can have such a great resonance of loyalty in a short period of time.
After all, Brother Zhi and Brother Hao were just the first group to keep warm. They had no contact with each other before entering this place, and it was just an unexpected temporary tie that tied them together.
This bond may, to a certain extent, bring them closer.
But it can never reach the level of life and death.
What he wants to understand is Brother Zhi's motives. What is the motivation that drives him so urgently?
If the cause and effect here is kept in the dark and the information is asymmetric, Jiang Yue will never want to cooperate.
In the end, he was sold to others and helped count the money.
Brother Zhi is also a smart person and immediately heard the implication of Jiang Yue.
Looking at each other with Brother Hao, the two seemed to have reached a tacit consensus.
"Brother Xiao Jiang is a sensible person. When you talk to a sensible person, there is really no need to hide it. That's how it is. Ahao discovered a special extraterrestrial rough stone in the Immortal Valley. I heard that this kind of extraterrestrial rough stone has appeared in the black market of Star City. Every rough stone from the sky has terrifying energy, and every rough stone from the sky is equivalent to a small treasure."
"Ah Hao, would you like to show it to brother Xiao Jiang?"
Ah Hao nodded and actually took out a small box from the small bag beside the table.
The box looked like it was found in a hotel, it was small and exquisite.
When I opened it, I found a small fragment the size of a grain of rice inside. It looked ordinary and exuded a slightly unusual blue color. In terms of appearance, it seemed to be just like that.
"We found this on the mountainside. In the deep valley ahead, there is an impact site. I estimate that this fragment was sputtered out from the impact site."
Ahao then took out his mobile phone and showed the impact scene he took to everyone.
The impact site was on the mountain wall opposite the valley. It could be seen clearly from Hao's angle, and the straight-line distance was not particularly far.
But judging from the position where Hao took the photo, in order to reach the other side, he had to climb over to the other side.
Otherwise, you can only reach it by spreading your wings and flying across the entire valley.
This situation can be described in five words using an old saying: "Looking up the mountain and running to death."
Looking at the opposite side, it's not far away, but when walking, it makes nine turns and eighteen turns.
More importantly, the way past was blocked by a giant monster.
The fragments the size of rice grains were passed around Jiang Yue and others for observation.
When it arrived in Jiang Yue's hands, Jiang Yue felt it carefully. This rice-sized piece of skin indeed contained great energy.
Moreover, this energy is extremely overbearing, and it is difficult to directly extract this energy with the human body.
Even if it is a fragment as small as a grain of rice, the energy fluctuations are so strong that the human body cannot bear it.
To extract the energy here, special means must be used, or only through instruments and equipment.
"How's it going?" Brother Zhi asked Jiang Yue with a smile.
"It's good stuff."
"Are you interested?" Brother Zhi was beaming, looking at Jiang Yue with hope.
"Brother Zhi, these things are good things, but have you fully considered the risks involved?"
Brother Zhi said: "It is a very risky thing for us to take part in the assessment. This energy rough stone is certainly no exception. But I think that in front of the rough stone, this risk is still worth taking. It is only the size of a grain of rice. If we can get a piece as big as a fist and take it outside, what price will it be sold for? If we are lucky, we can get a piece as big as a backpack? What is the price? This is not a matter of years of hard work, but It’s a deal that I can’t finish in ten lifetimes!”
The wages of avarice is death.
Brother Zhi has obviously considered this issue over and over again, and has thought through the pros and cons very thoroughly.
Han Jingjing suddenly said: "We are all assessors, entrusted by the official. If we really want to take these things out, will the official be so generous and allow these proceeds to belong to ourselves?"
With the official's hegemony, it is absolutely impossible for the examiner to make such a big mistake, right?
This kind of super-powerful raw stone cannot pass machine detection if it is carried on the body, and it will definitely be exposed.
Therefore, this thing looks very beautiful, and after all the hard work of bringing it out, the final result is most likely to be confiscated rather than kept as your own.
After all, Han Jingjing is the daughter of the ruler of Star City. Her habitual thinking is to maintain the official authority and consider issues from a more correct perspective.
That Ah Hao smiled meaningfully, and the look behind his eyes was quite playful.
Although he didn't know Han Jingjing, he judged that this beautiful girl must be from an official background.
Brother Zhi didn't think much about it and said with a smile: "In fact, there is no need to worry about this problem at all. Even if we can get a backpack full of rough stones, we can still take it out. No one stipulates that we must carry these things all the way to the mission. Place. Find a place to hide along the way, without anyone noticing."
In fact, everyone present except Han Jingjing had already thought of this.
After all, this was just an assessment, and the officials probably didn’t expect that rough stones would appear in the Immortal Valley beforehand.
Since the authorities are all kept in the dark and there must be no defenses along the way, then this loophole is simply as big as the sky, and there is no need to worry about not being able to transport good things.
This is not gold mining. Are you worried that the gold you find cannot be carried privately?
Of course, both Brother Zhi and Ah Hao knew that Jiang Yue was the one talking to each other.
The reactions and attitudes of others ultimately had to be decided by Jiang Yue's nod.
What made them somewhat surprised was that Jiang Yue was surprisingly calm when faced with the temptation of the rough stone, with almost no overly enthusiastic emotions shown.
Brother Zhi and Ah Hao had already looked up to Jiang Yue before, but now it seems that even if they look up to him, it's still not enough.
This young and over-the-top Xiao Jiang brother is far more powerful than they imagined.
There are really very few normal people who can keep their composure in the face of such a huge temptation and prevent any emotion from leaking out.
Brother Zhi asked himself that he couldn't even do it.
Otherwise, he would not leave his task of the House of Horror unfinished, but would instead be thinking about the Immortal Valley.
To put it bluntly, I am still obsessed with money.
Jiang Yue was not in a hurry to express his position, but glanced at Xu Chunru, Du Yifeng and others.
"What do you think?"
Xu Chunru hesitated for a while, then said: "It's the same thing, brother Xiao Jiang, you make up your mind, whatever you say, I will follow."
Du Yifeng was originally very resistant to the Immortal Valley group, but after seeing the original stone, his curiosity and some indescribable appetite were completely aroused.
"If there is such a good thing, you might as well go and take a look." This was Du Yifeng's attitude.
Although his words were not as fervent as his heart, his attitude was already very clear.
Han Jingjing and Yu Siyuan's missions are both in the Immortal Valley, not to mention that they have no objection to going to the Immortal Valley.
Zhou Jian is a little transparent. He has poor strength and is an injured person who was rescued. He is quite self-aware and knows that his opinions are not important, so he simply shuts up.
"Since everyone has no objections, let's go and take a look."
Brother Zhi and Ah Hao are both overjoyed.
"Okay! This way, we have a lot of manpower. Even if we face that giant monster, we may not be unable to fight. Even if we can't defeat it, we will drag it to death."
I haven’t witnessed the monsters with my own eyes, so I don’t know the specific combat effectiveness. It’s too early to say how to deal with the monsters now.
But now that the two parties have reached a cooperation agreement, it doesn't matter whether they continue to drink coffee or not.
Jiang Yue and others proposed to go upstairs to rest, but Zhi Ge and others no longer tried to persuade them to stay.
After Jiang Yue and the others went upstairs, someone from Brother Zhi and the others couldn't help but ask: "Brother Zhi and Brother Hao, these people are quite good at showing off, but I wonder if their combat effectiveness is reliable?"
"They are all awakened ones, and they are not much different. At least that brother Xiao Jiang must be a strong man." Brother Zhi said very confidently.
Ah Hao smiled mysteriously: "Brother Zhi, you may not have paid much attention to the situation in Star City before, right? This brother Xiao Jiang, if I guessed correctly, he should be the genius of Yangfan Middle School who was famous throughout Star City some time ago and ranked first in the physical test. That Jiang Yue."
"Middle school student?" Brother Zhi was a little surprised. He really didn't pay much attention to these things. Moreover, Star City is really too big.
"It should be him. I always thought that the so-called awakened people tested by the school are just a bunch of greenhouse flowers, and most of them are straw bags. Now it seems that this is really biased." Ah Hao seemed to be talking to himself, It seemed like he was talking to Brother Zhi again.
"This Jiang Yue is very extraordinary. Faced with the temptation of the original stone, he actually remains unmoved. Even though we all know that he is pretending, he may be pretending so well that he is definitely a ruthless person."
Brother Zhi smiled and said: "Now, no matter whether he is a ruthless person or someone else, we all have common interests and are in the same boat. If he is strong, it will not be a bad thing for us."
"Brother Zhi, aren't you afraid that he will have selfish motives and try to monopolize it or something?"
"Ah Hao, you have been thinking about these calculations all day long, and you think so badly of people's minds. Seeing that the impact surface is so large, there must be many, many rough stones from the sky. Who has such a big appetite to swallow them all? Maybe by then it will be tight. Let’s take it, but we still worry about not being able to carry so many!”
"If you can't carry it, bring it in batches! Even if you stay for ten or eight days, you can't let the good things fall here. It will be a waste to others in the future." One of them said firmly.
Ah Hao just smiled lightly but didn't say anything more. Those deep eyes hidden behind the lenses always reveal some elusive mystery.
…
"Jiang Yue, do we really want to go for the rough stone?" Back in the suite, Han Jingjing couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Yue didn't answer, but Du Yifeng smiled: "You won't regret it, will you?"
"It's hard to say whether you regret it or not, but there is an old saying that you should not forget. People die for money and birds die for food. Don't blame me for being crow-mouthed. I always feel that this rough stone is not that easy to get."
Du Yifeng shrugged, who doesn't understand?
But it doesn’t cost anything to take a look.
If you really can't get through it, you can find a way when the time comes, and you don't have to risk your life to do it.
Xu Chunru also said: "Anyway, let's listen to Jiang Yue more! Just don't get too excited then."
Du Yifeng looked at Jiang Yue and suddenly said: "There is a problem that we have ignored. When we really get the rough stone, how will we distribute it? This must be made clear. Otherwise, there will be some wrangling."
If the current benefits are unevenly distributed, even if you get the rough stone, it will most likely turn into another sad story.
