Xiao Duhuo doesn't want to worry about these chores anymore:
“Okay, let’s not talk about these chores, let’s talk business.
I see that the metals in Brother Welling's hands are very pure and have very high refining skills. The packaging is not the Empire's model. I believe you are aware of its value and even have your own channels to obtain it.
However, having more resources will also be helpful for you to eventually join the Li clan. Even if it is dedicated to the empire, there will be good remuneration and merit compensation. "
Wei Ling and Shou Gong agreed with Xiao Duhuo's statement and nodded slightly.
"Well, since you agree, does that mean you agree to join?"
Wei Ling smiled and nodded:
"It depends on how many reserves are estimated to be worth it for so many of us to do this."
Although Wei Ling recognized the scarce T205 metal, both Nan Xing and others, as well as the Li family, would need more resources in the future.
But if the predicted target weight is too small, it is really not worth the time.
Xiao Duhuo naturally understood Wei Ling's thoughts and nodded in approval:
"I know what Brother Wei Ling means. If there are too few, I won't find anyone, otherwise it won't be cost-effective.
According to my experience, that area is very large. For so many years, both the federal wilderness hunters and the empire's pangolins have been searching for it, but they have not found the gathering in that area.
I have made a preliminary judgment on where the maximum probability of the aggregation will be.
Although I have delineated a rough range, with the current strength, I dare not go looking for it, for fear of being intercepted by other forces.
As for the weight of the aggregate, if nothing else happens, I estimate that the overall weight will be between 50-150 kilograms. "
"Oh? So many?"
Wei Ling raised his eyebrows, full of doubts:
"In the treaty between the Empire and the Federation, the T205 metal claimed is only 2 tons, 2,000 kilograms. This has already made the Federation's wilderness hunters jump. Is there so much metal hidden here?"
Xiao Duhuo was startled:
"It seems that Brother Wei Ling should have an official background. The contents of the treaty have not been widely announced. If you can get this information, your identity must not be simple.
The state of Kerala is vast and sparsely populated, and its topography is dominated by desert and Gobi mountains. Naturally, there are many residues of T205 metal.
In those densely populated areas, if anyone said there were so many, I would not believe it even to death. "
Wei Ling nodded and did not deny:
"If everything goes well, how long will it take?"
"In terms of time, it can be as long as one month and as short as 10 days."
"Very good. There is no problem with time. How will the independent brother be allocated?"
Welling nodded and asked.
Xiao Duhuo's expression seemed to be smiling but not smiling:
"It depends on the abilities of Brother Wei Ling and the girl guarding the palace."
"It's fair. We also understand that you must have sufficient ability to match the corresponding remuneration. How to verify it?"
Xiao Duhuo thought for a while:
"It's very simple. Either Brother Wei Ling and I can find a remote place to spar. The palace guard girl and another subordinate of mine can also try their hand at it. What do you two think?"
Wei Ling and Shou Gong looked at each other and smiled:
"No problem, you can do it at any time... By the way, Brother Duhuo, do you know the Earth Escape Technique?"
Xiao Duhuo was startled and shook his head:
"There's still a long way to go...Brother Welling, can you?"
"Haha, no, no, I'm afraid you'll be able to escape, so I'll give up immediately."
"Yeah, that's right. If you can escape and do such rough work, you can at least pinpoint the location of the mineral deposits."
"Then let's try it now?"
"Okay, Mangcao, you go to the hotel, call the other three people, and go to the west side outside the imperial camp."
Mangcao nodded, drank a large glass of wine in several gulps, and left in a hurry.
The three of them continued to communicate casually for a while, and Wei Ling motioned to the tavern owner to come over and handed him the card that Mi Meng had left for him.
The boss took the card and used an ancient-looking card swipe to charge the fee.
It seems that in addition to the outer cities of Bohu County, this anonymous stored-value card can also be used in places where the Federation and the Empire hand over.
It can be seen that imperial money is also universal, but in a different way.
It is also very interesting to say that when there are only two larger forces left in the world, currency actually has no concept of exchange rate.
Imperial money has always been a digital concept and has never existed physically. It is tied to the identity chips of imperial citizens. Naturally, no one can steal other people's money unless others are willing to transfer it through barriers or other payment systems. for you.
Since the Xixuan Federation has many states and its technological strength and network coverage cannot compare with that of the Empire, it is natural that there is physical currency.
The three of them walked out of the tavern and walked towards the west side of the Western Expedition Army camp.
The "Mountain Ghost" that was dormant outside the tavern also regained its kinetic energy as Xiao Du survived and followed behind.
When the three of them arrived at the planned location, they found that Mangcao was already waiting with three other mutants.
Among the three people, one looked very much like Mangcao, almost the same height, weight, and thickness.
There are two more normal-looking ones, with the same typical appearance characteristics of Xixuan people.
As soon as Mangcao and the other four saw Wei Ling, Shou Gong and Xiao Du live there, they ran over and looked at the two of them curiously.
Wei Ling didn't take it seriously and asked with a smile:
"Brother Duhuo, let's see how to test it."
"This one looks similar to Mangcao. He is Mangcao, Mangcao's brother. They are both powerful mutants.
Of these two, who are thinner and taller, one is specialized in cold weapons and the other is good at firearms. Among the four of them, the guard girl can choose one to test. "
Wei Ling's expression seemed to be a smile but not a smile:
"I think it's better if they go together."
"Haha, sir, my barbell squat can reach 800 kilograms, my barbell bench press can reach 500 kilograms, and my deadlift can reach 600 kilograms. My brother and I are about the same... you girl guarding the palace, she seems to have less strength."
Mangcao laughed.
The guard took off the golden sword on his back, threw it aside, and gave the four people a fist-cup salute with a smile:
"You four, get ready, I'm going to attack you."
The four of them still didn't feel threatened, and were about to persuade them again.
Suddenly, their vision went dark, the air around them was violently disturbed, their bodies had been thrown up by a huge force, and they landed on the ground more than ten meters away, kicking up a cloud of dust.
In the dusty atmosphere, Mangcao, Shencao and the other two people turned over and sat up, rubbing their eyes in disbelief and looking more cautious.
The four of them stood up and formed a semi-arc shape, bowing slightly and being cautious.
However, with the sound of wind, I felt that my vision went dark again, and I was thrown farther away again.
In two rounds, they failed even to see their opponent's figure clearly.
The four stood up again, with a look of fear on their faces.
If the guards had used cold weapons, they would have been killed twice.
Before Shou Gong could take action again, Xiao Duhuo waved his hand and stopped him with a wry smile:
"No need, with the skills of the palace guard girl, people like them are no match no matter how many times they are."
Wei Ling stood aside, holding his hands, smiling slightly and throwing out the message:
"The gecko is best at firearms."
Xiao Duhuo's bitter smile was interrupted by Wei Ling's finishing blow, and he shook his head in astonishment:
"Okay, I'm blind to the truth. Such a powerful fighting sergeant is rare in the empire.
Well, let’s do this, Brother Welling, let’s try it. "
Wei Ling felt a little ashamed:
"Brother Duhuo, I am a wild man. I have not received formal training as a warlock. I have offended many people. Don't take it personally."
"It doesn't matter, I'm not even at the intermediate level, you can use it as you like."
Xiao Duhuo immediately distanced himself from Wei Ling, maintaining a distance of more than ten meters.
Wei Ling smiled and cupped his hands:
"Please give me some advice!"
Xiao Duhuo also handed over:
"Brother Welling, come on."
Seeing that Xiao Duhuo was unwilling to take action first, Wei Ling had no choice but to take action first:
"Brother Duhuo doesn't want to make the first move, so I'll come..."
Wei Ling's single-character technique "Ding" was activated immediately.
Xiao Duhuo had just received Wei Ling's message and was ready, and then heard Wei Ling's brief voice:
"Certainly!"
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Duhuo realized that his body was as heavy as a mountain and he could not move at all.
Surprised, he had traveled in the wilderness for a long time and had some experience, so he was not panicked.
He remembered that when Wei Ling introduced himself, he said he was a wisdom warlock. Therefore, Xiao Duhuo was extremely lucky that his mental power was not attacked.
So he seized that brief moment and gave himself an earth spirit magic shield called "Body Protection Technique".
However, before he could release himself from the imprisoned state, he found that a stone cone as thick as an arm and with an extremely sharp bottom was hanging above his head.
As long as Wei Ling makes a thought, the huge stone cone will definitely smash his head.
Wei Ling smiled slightly, released Xiao Duhuo's immobilization state, and the stone cone above his head disappeared.
Xiao Duhuo was full of surprises:
"Brother Wei Ling, are you really just a junior warlock?
The spell was cast so fast that I had no power to fight back! "
Willing smiled brightly:
"Haha, that's because Brother Duhuo was unprepared."
"I don't believe it, come again!"
Xiao Duhuo dodged and retreated further, his mind activated.
Countless slender stone arrows appeared through the air and surrounded Wei Ling from all directions.
The dense screams were breathtaking.
"solid!"
Wei Ling's single-character compound technique was composed of three techniques: body forging, stone formation, and body protection. Before those stone arrows arrived, a yellow light covered Wei Ling's body.
"Dangdangdang..."
There was a fine impact sound, and all the stone arrows hit Welling's protective shield technique and slowly disappeared.
Xiao Duhuo dodged and changed his position again. He had just moved to a new position, and before he had time to cast a new spell, he suddenly found that he could not move again and was imprisoned by the "ding" formula again.
Wei Ling dodged and arrived in front of Xiao Duhuo. With a wave of his hand, the tip of the dark golden sword was pressed against his throat.
Xiao Duhuo smiled bitterly and raised his hands:
"No fighting, no fighting, I can't do it... When did the empire have such a strange earth spirit warlock like you? I often hang out in various communication groups in Jixia Academy, and I have never heard of anyone with your name. figure."
Welling put away his sword and eliminated all traces of the spell:
"Concession, concession... Brother Duhuo is too modest. By the way, please don't spread my story in the academy."
Xiao Duhuo waved his hands randomly:
"Without humility, a pangolin like me wanders around in the wild all day long, risking his life and death. Since we fight, we must be serious... not to mention that it is related to the distribution of benefits, haha.
Your confinement spell is so strange. I think it has some traces of the earth spirit spell, but I'm not sure. I feel like there are other abilities in it... Is this your innate spell? So powerful. "
Naturally, Wei Ling would not explain to him that in his "Ding" formula, in addition to the earth spirit's heavy technique, there are also three types of confinement techniques such as mud, slowness, and dullness:
"Haha, that's right."
Mangcao Qiancao and others also came over covered in dust with expressions on their faces as if they had seen a ghost.
Xiao Duhuo verified his partner's ability, was very satisfied, and threw the package happily:
"The abilities of the two of you are far beyond ours... let's do this. After the thing is done, we will share the results equally. Brother Welling, what do you think?"
Welling shook his head:
"no."
Xiao Duhuo, Mangcao and others were startled, and then their expressions turned ugly.
Before they could react, Welling continued to throw out the message:
"Thirty-seven points, I only want 30%, and you 70%. I'm not in your league to begin with, so it's just a guest appearance. Brother Linghuo has spent so much time looking for and detecting, so naturally he will get the lion's share."
The faces of several people became very exciting, and Xiao Duhuo threw out the message with some shame:
"Brother Wei Ling, how can this be done? Everyone knows that those who are wandering around in the wasteland are those who are capable. Even if you encounter someone who kills and cheats and eats alone, it is not surprising."
Wei Ling waved his hand:
"Haha, I don't count as someone who has been hanging around in the world. No matter how much I get in the end, I will still accept Brother Xiao's love."
