Wu Jiu Shang sat down patiently, took the second clone's arm, and said seriously: "You Langya are new here, so you don't know anything. The Floating Mountain is actually in the northwest, on the edge leading to the central area. It can barely be regarded as
central area.
It is only more than five thousand miles away from the Black Scale City of the Black Scale King in the north, and there are often tauren troops around. Even with the protection of the black flag rules, it is difficult to avoid small-scale conflicts."
Having said this, Wu Jiushang glanced at Gu Mu fiercely, and then continued: "This tauren is just one of the dangers. The most troublesome thing is the so-called large floating stone mine, which is actually a big mountain suspended in mid-air.
, there are several hills surrounding it, stretching for hundreds of miles.
And that area is also a habitat for wild giant bats, numbering in the millions.
You have seen the infrasonic resonance of two hundred thousand stars. Think about the power of the infrasonic resonance of millions of stars. Not to mention you only have forty starships, even if you are given four hundred starships, you will never be able to withstand it.
It is simply impossible to mine on the floating mountain.
The Fukong Mountain base established there by Shaking Sky Sect was called Fukong Mountain, but it was actually a small branch found underground in the edge area. One month's output was not enough to build a starship.
Even this base could not last for three months before it was destroyed by the tauren.
Gu Mu has dug a hole for you and wants you to serve as sentinels at their Eight Gate Base. His intentions are very vicious and he will never agree."
"Is what Lord Jiu Shang said true?" The second clone turned around and looked at Gu Mu, his face darkening.
Even though he guessed that there was a trap, he didn't expect it to be such a big trap. Are people like Shaking Tianzong really so shameless?
"Ahem!"
Gu Mu's expression remained unchanged and he coughed twice: "General Chiman, don't listen to Wu Jiu Shang's instigation. Although the situation in Fukong Mountain is roughly the same, it is not as dangerous as you think?
The giant bat swarm is mainly entrenched on several hills in the main mountain range of Fukong Mountain. As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke them, there is generally no danger on the ground.
The reason why our Shaking Sky Sect failed last time was mainly due to the attack of the tauren, and had nothing to do with the giant bats.
But you are different. You have the rules of the black flag to protect you. The tauren will not launch a major attack on you. At most, there will be some small conflicts.
You can report back to your emperor and send some more starships to make up a hundred to form an integrated fleet, which will be enough to deal with most of the troubles.
Besides, don't you have a lot of blood monsters? Blood monsters are very good at mining, so the income must be good, maybe several times more than ours.
I have lived for more than a hundred years and have never seen any big storms. I have thought through all your problems for you.
Believe me, you, Langya, are the best choice to take over Fukong Mountain. Others have this idea but do not have the conditions!"
At this point, Gu Mu saw the second clone's dark face and expression of not wanting to agree, gritted his teeth, and said with great pain: "Well, if you nod, you are willing to take over the Floating Mountain Base.
I have made the decision and allocated you ten starships in stock. Although they are a bit older, they still have the required protective covers and crystal cannons."
"What kind of starships are in stock? They are obviously scraps. Brother Chiman, please don't be fooled. The cost of repairing these scrapped ships is higher than building a new one. Apart from recycling some materials, they are useless!" Wu Jiushang really listened.
If you don't want to go on anymore, just interrupt.
It has nothing to do with him that Gu Mu cheated Qiao Yong. Gu Mu wanted to cheat the eldest young master, but he would not agree.
"Let's do this, fifteen ships!" Gu Mu glanced at Wu Jiu Shang with some depression. He couldn't understand why Wu Jiu Shang was so interested in Langya, so he gritted his teeth and added five more ships.
"Sixty ships, I'll agree if you give me sixty ships!" The second clone was silent for a moment and then raised his head.
In fact, even if he knew the danger, he would probably agree. There was no other way. No matter who would make the future battle, whether it was a space odyssey or a plane battle, starships would be crucial.
Even the number and power of a force's starships determine its status in the Human Alliance.
Therefore, even if he knew that he would lose money and could only dig some dregs on the periphery in the early stage, he could only accept it.
But after hearing the words "Inventory Starship", he felt at ease. This trip would not be a loss, and he might still make a small profit.
No matter how bad a starship is, as long as it can fly, it can explode. He has already verified this!
"Sixty ships?"
Gu Mu hesitated for a moment and shook his head vigorously: "No, there are too many. I can only add five more at most. I will give you twenty. Sixty is absolutely impossible.
I agreed, but Brother Gulan would not agree. You must know that the materials recovered from these battleships are not a small amount."
The second clone smiled and then said: "Listen to me, I want these sixty starships. They don't need crystal cannons, they don't need protective shields, and even the shells are in tatters. I don't mind it.
All I ask is that the power cabin is intact and it can fly."
"Seriously, don't you need crystal cannons and protective shields? As long as you can fly?" Gu Mu was surprised, with a look of disbelief on his face.
This is equivalent to the loss of two-thirds of the cost of a starship. Even sixty of these junk ships are not as practical as twenty stock ships that have been simply repaired.
Although he had a dark heart, he never thought about giving others a pile of rags. After all, Shaking Tianzong still wanted the face.
"Chiman, you are crazy. Apart from being used as cannon fodder, what else can these junk be used for?"
Wu Jiu Shang stood up angrily. If this were one of his subordinates, he would definitely kick him.
He felt that he had made a mistake. Chi Man looked smart, but was actually a fool.
"Lord Jiu Shang, there is no need to be angry. Since I opened my mouth, it makes sense!" The second clone smiled bitterly and clasped his fists.
He couldn't explain this matter, so he could only deal with it vaguely.
"Okay, it's such a happy decision!"
Gu Mu was afraid that Wu Jiu Shang would cause trouble and he would have long nights and dreams, so Chi Man changed his mind again. Although he was still a little distressed, he couldn't care less.
He stood up very satisfied, patted the second clone's shoulder hard, and said with the eyes of a silly boy: "Good boy, the first time I saw you, I felt that you and I were destined.
In seven days, you will be waiting to receive sixty flying starships at the original site of Fukong Mountain Base!"
"Okay, it's a deal!" The second avatar smiled and clasped his fists, saying in his mind, Damn, I'm a good young man, and I have a fate with an old man like you!
"Hey, why don't you listen to my advice?"
Wu Jiu shook his head angrily, but there was nothing he could do.
I could only make up my mind and ask the housekeeper to contact the wet nurse when I got back. It would be really annoying to accuse this guy in front of the young master!
