"Because of the flow of earth veins, except for the entrances to many well-known ruins, there are basically no familiar roads."
Liben said: "Except for the creatures living inside, it is generally difficult to recognize all the roads."
"But even those people will choose to set up camp at a certain node that will not change, and wait until the channel changes stop before coming out. No one wants to have the home they built with difficulty disappear inexplicably."
"Of course, there are not many unlucky people in the world who enter the ruins and find that the patterns and decorations on the walls have been scraped clean by those who came before."
Is that really miserable?
The two of them entered the ruins. Liben was as familiar with the journey as if he were at home, and after a lot of twists and turns with Gu Sanqiu, they arrived at the destination.
Is this crown really that useful?
The crown of someone who has listened to the divine revelation cannot really unlock any strange abilities.
Uh, Tiandao message searcher?
Fortunately, this plug-in has a limit on the number of times it can be used, otherwise it would be too abstract.
Liben became energetic after seeing the intact door.
"Well, places like this usually have mechanisms, which are equivalent to the protective measures of ancient civilizations. After a simple decryption process, we can retreat with large and small bags of parts!"
Gu Sanqiu couldn't help but interrupt the other party's flag-raising behavior.
"Have you booked a caravan outside the ruins? Otherwise, how long will it take to move the parts from one warehouse?"
"The guest is indeed very smart. Of course I booked a truck fleet. How can I keep such a good thing for next time? Of course I will take it away in one go!"
Liben said confidently: "There is no danger along the way, so the estimated arrival time of the team is also planned, and then it is harvest time."
"Let me see, the characteristics of the mechanism are..."
boom!
Liben looked in front of him in shock. The dull-looking guest punched open the thick door. The mechanical parts inside were flashing with arcs and sparks, and it was obvious that they had been completely destroyed.
This, this kind of strength!
Liben felt that his breathing was not smooth. Why didn't he see that the other party had such strength along the way?
"What are you doing standing around? Come in."
Gu Sanqiu turned back and glanced at Li Ben: "You are lucky. The mechanical parts here are kept in a very scientific way, and the overall condition is about 80%."
The desire for Mora instantly overshadowed everything else. Liben rushed into the warehouse with eyes shining brightly, holding the mechanical parts filled with protective oil and burst into laughter.
The shelves with parts are also a good thing, but the dust removal technology of this ancient civilization is really good. Except for the smoke and dust that was thrown up when Gu Sanqiu opened the door, the inside was surprisingly clean.
Gu Sanqiu glanced at it. He had no research on machinery. This kind of matter should be left to the magical teacher Abedo.
But he was quite interested in the wanted bandits entrenched in the ruins. After all, the sooner he helped Li Ben solve these problems, the sooner he could get the sprouts and go home for dinner.
Half an hour later——
Gu Sanqiu replicated what he had done in Daozhu, using elemental power to form chains and tie up the unlucky ones he caught, using them as human flesh transporters.
After being handed over to the load-carrying convoy scheduled by Liben on the ground, these people will become miners in the dangerous area of the rock abyss, or simply cannon fodder for pathfinding.
Liben looked a little frightened: "Guest, guest, with your strength, you should look down on my small gains, right?"
"The stronger the person, the more resources he consumes. Besides, this is not a small amount for you."
Gu Sanqiu smiled slightly: "But don't worry, I'm not interested in your harvest. You just need to remember to give me the new sprouts."
"Don't worry, everything will be done as we agreed. Three, no, I can provide you with five sprouts from the black market. There will definitely be no defective products."
Liben's chest was beating loudly: "Then what is the shipping address? If possible, please tell me. Of course, customers can also think that I am looking for a partner, or a powerful person who can protect me."
"Heh, it's interesting to be so direct."
Gu Sanqiu wrote the address on the note. It was a safe house set up by Qixing in the past. It was completely in the wilderness.
"After the goods are delivered, leave your contact information there. If necessary, I will contact you again, or you can consciously collect sprouts for me. The reward will definitely satisfy you."
As long as Liben steps into Liyue, it is impossible to leave the surveillance sight, and the so-called contact information is just a cover.
Back on the ground, Liben gave the gift crown in his hand to Gu Sanqiu with a discerning eye, saying bluntly that he would give the thing to its original owner.
It's an exaggeration, but who doesn't like to hear good things?
"Just send it here, our transaction has been completed, let's not leave here."
After Gu Sanqiu left, Liben breathed a sigh of relief, lay down in the carriage and took a sip of juice. After all, it was not the time to drink.
"What's wrong, boss? The one who threatened you just now?"
Liben glanced at his bodyguard for many years, twisted his body, and snorted twice.
"Threat? People still look down on threatening a small character like me. I finally understand who I met today. Don't say any more. With his strength, maybe we have some kind of monitoring spell that we are completely unaware of."
As for the elder’s purpose?
Who cares? If he can make money, it's enough to have a powerful backer.
If you want to achieve your life goals, the first prerequisite is to live to that age. Knowing too much is not a good thing for little people.
About five or six days later, Gu Sanqiu received a tip that Liben had sent a large number of cargo boxes to the abandoned safe house.
Time flies so quickly, it seems that the new sprouts of the earth line have been gathered before even having time to deal with the goods on hand. I have to say that this emotional intelligence is indeed high enough.
If you want to have a backer, you must first show your performance.
Gu Sanqiu instructed spies from the Ten Gold Society to show up, settle the balance of Xinya and leave a message, telling him to come to Liyue if he encounters any difficulties in the future.
This is of course a two-way street. Gu Sanqiu needs to have connections on the black market side to observe Pantalone's actions.
And if Liben really chooses to come to Liyue if he encounters a problem that cannot be solved, the invisible connections will increase over time.
When a black marketeer who was wandering on the edge of the law could not solve a certain problem, he basically lost the possibility of hiding his name and washing his hands in a golden basin. Gu Sanqiu did not worry that he would hide in the ruins and pretend to be dead.
Money can help the gods, and the people in the ruins are not in need of everything.
"Dad, I brought the new sprouts back to you. What's the use of this thing?"
Gu Sanqiu's mood was subtle: "It's okay to show me how to use it. Why is the place still in the Incense Room?"
Zhongli stretched out his index finger and pointed it lightly: "Because that's how it's used."
The sprouts filed in, and a huge number flew into the cauldron in the incense room, but no abnormal reaction was seen at all.
"Is this the driving energy of my tripod?"
At that time, the cook's clone came to the door, and the family heirloom also put in a lot of effort.
Zhongli said calmly: "It can be explained in this way, but it is not enough."
Gu Sanqiu was curious: "So, has anyone in my family done this before? Then why don't I know about it at all?"
"Because Xiao Hei used to go below to grab it, but now he has gone to avoid the limelight, so he can only think of ways to do it from the ground."
Zhongli placed his right hand on the cauldron: "But in the future, we can do both."
"You have established a connection with that black market businessman. You can let him collect more in the future. He is a smart man. It is not impossible to provide him with some conveniences when necessary. The premise is that the bottom line cannot be broken."
