Zhang Xiaoman looked at the sunflowers at the bottom of the lake and fell into deep thought.
Generally speaking, there are two ways to form oases in deserts. One is formed by the accumulation of snow water after melting ice and snow on high mountains, plus rainwater from other places.
This form of oases is generally seasonal and will dry up regularly for a period of time, and the lake area is not very large.
The other type is formed by the penetration of deep groundwater. This form of oasis has a relatively large area and is a long-term stable state. The depth of the lake will be relatively deep.
And the oasis everyone is in now is naturally the latter method.
According to Zhang Xiaoman's psychic perception, the sunflowers at the bottom of the lake were at least ten meters deep from the lake surface.
This kind of depth is simply impossible for ordinary people to reach without professional diving equipment.
Zhang Xiaoman thought for a moment, and then focused on Xingwei.
"It seems that it's time for the satellites to shine again."
He attached his consciousness to one of the star guards, and then gave him the order to enter the lake.
The Star Guard was wearing a solid armor and was obviously unable to swim. However, Zhang Xiaoman did not need them to swim down. He only had to control the Star Guard to walk over step by step.
The lake water in the oasis is very clear, and people standing on it can occasionally see some fish passing by. Zhang Xiaoman's vision in the water is much better than expected.
Of course, it is not him who really takes action, but the star guard himself. He is only responsible for issuing instructions. This guy will not be affected by the water environment.
It didn't take long for the star guard who had entered the water to return to the shore, holding a few sunflowers he had just collected.
Zhang Xiaoman gently picked up one of the flowers and shook it gently, and the water drops on it rolled down one after another as if on a smooth mirror surface.
He cannot take these immediately. He needs to take them back to someone for testing and analyze the ingredients, then find two rabbits or something to try them, and finally try them himself.
And for the sake of caution, this process must be carried out in the original world.
Although he now has the Morning Star Ring, which makes him immune to the effects of poisoning, who knows if other changes will occur after eating the sunflower by himself, so everything must be done on the safe side.
"Okay, the purpose of my visit this time has been achieved. I will return to the Star Alliance headquarters later. Mr. Zhan, do you have anything to clean up? Please leave with me later."
Zhan Nan nodded in agreement, and then went back to the cabin to sort out his belongings.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at everyone in the Wildfire Team again and said:
"Wes, this is the second time we have cooperated. I still admire your abilities. How about it? Are you interested in signing a long-term contract with me?"
Wes didn't expect that he would say this suddenly. He was slightly shocked by the reality for a while, and then felt happy again.
I was thinking hard about what to say to hug this thigh, but I didn't expect that the other party had already taken the initiative to extend an olive branch to me. Of course, he wanted it.
"Haha, Mr. Jixing, you are too polite. You are the boss and we are part-time workers. Cooperation is a bit exaggerated. However, if you still have any tasks for us, we will be happy to help you complete them. "
He paused here and then asked: "By the way, what is the mission you mentioned about? Is it related to these monsters? If so, we are afraid..."
Zhang Xiaoman removed his spirit-detection skills, and then gave the other party a calm look:
"I also know the strength of the Wildfire Team. Although you are rich in experience, you still know too little about these monsters. It will naturally be more difficult to deal with them."
"But if you are willing, I can also provide some help. I believe you all heard when I introduced some information about the organization to Zhannan earlier. You should all have an understanding of our purpose, right?"
When those people heard this, they all had a slightly embarrassed look on their faces.
After all, they were discussing some internal information within the organization just now, so they should have actively avoided it.
It's just that a few people were too curious about these extraordinary things, so they didn't leave. Now that they started asking questions, of course they felt a little embarrassed.
"You don't have to worry. Since I didn't let you go at that time, I also meant to tell you something."
"Actually, the enemy we face is far larger than you think. Considering the current strength of the Star Alliance... we may need more fresh blood."
As soon as he said these words, everyone in the Wildfire Team immediately understood what he meant, and they all looked at him with somewhat surprised but surprised eyes.
"Then, I wonder what we can do for you...?"
Weiss asked nervously.
Zhang Xiaoman temporarily handed the flowers in his hand to Hu Peng for safekeeping, then turned around and said to them:
"I have prepared two plans for you. The first one is the long-term cooperation I mentioned before. I will provide you with tasks. After you complete them, you will be able to receive sufficient rewards, just like what you are doing now. .”
"The second option is for all of you to join the organization, become external members of the organization, and complete the tasks assigned to you by the organization. There will be regular salary benefits, but there will no longer be monetary rewards when completing tasks, but I will provide some Other rewards.”
"It's up to you to decide how to choose."
As Zhang Xiaoman spoke, he took out a bundled sheepskin scroll from the pocket of his robe and handed it to Weiss.
"This is the extra reward I gave you for this commission. It is the reward for successfully helping me find the sun flower in the end. It contains a small ability that can enhance the user's physical fitness in a short period of time. The method of use is to tear Just open it, well... as you understand it, this is a magic scroll."
Weiss picked up the bundled parchment with some surprise, and then asked with a hint of excitement on his face:
"Well, Lord Ji Xing, if we choose the second method, are the 'other rewards for completing the mission' you mentioned similar to these things?"
Zhang Xiaoman nodded.
"That's right."
Weiss and several other teammates looked at each other, then immediately clapped their hands and said:
"I think we already have the answer! Mr. Ji Xing, we are very willing to join your organization. Thank you very much for this opportunity!"
