Chapter 538 The iron of the void, technology helps!
Under the bright sunshine, several children in ragged clothes were playing on the grass.
They are too young, they look like they are only four or five years old, and their faces are full of childishness.
They were immature and could not follow their parents to explore the ruins that contained unknown dangers, so they were left outside by their parents and were strictly prohibited from approaching the ruins.
As for their brothers and sisters, they were armed with simple weapons and followed their parents, trying to find items in the ruins that could be exchanged for food.
Slowly walking up to the children, Tang Zhen knelt down and stared at one of the children.
"Little guy, can you show me what's on your neck?"
This child seems to be a mixture of humans and other alien races. His eyes are round and round, and he looks quite cute with a tiger-like head.
After hearing Tang Zhen's words, the little guy raised his neck boldly and handed the thing hanging on his chest to Tang Zhen.
This is an extremely rough pendant that seems to be formed naturally, shaped like a rising flame, with its surface covered with strange lines and brilliant colors.
If you look closely, you will find that there are traces of burning such as molten crust corrosion marks on its surface, which resembles the appearance of a meteorite.
The moment he got the pendant, Tang Zhen knew that it was exactly what he was looking for. Ling Xuzi called it the Iron of the Void!
The piece in the little guy's hand is enough to make a storage ring, which is extremely precious to Tang Zhen.
"I like this thing very much. I wonder if you would like to exchange one of my things with you?"
With Tang Zhen's status, he couldn't commit the crime of robbing a child, so he asked.
The tiger-headed little guy showed a troubled expression, his brows knitted together, as if he was considering whether he would suffer a loss in the exchange.
Tang Zhen laughed when he saw this, took out an item and handed it to the little boy.
This is a jade plaque about the size of an egg. It is warm and clear and is engraved with runes. There is also a bright brain bead inlaid in the center. On the back is the coat of arms of Holy Dragon City.
As long as an experienced wanderer sees the diffuse halo of the brain bead, he will know that it is a genuine lord-level brain bead, equivalent to one hundred thousand brain beads!
However, this is only the value of the brain bead itself. Now combined with the spiritual jade, the value is even more inestimable.
This thing is worth a lot of money at first sight. Even though the little guy is young, he also knows that this is a good thing because it looks better!
Since he thought this thing was better than his own, the little guy naturally knew how to choose and agreed to the exchange without hesitation.
Tang Zhen smiled, took the pendant, sat aside, and began to study the characteristics of this void iron.
The reason why he gave this little guy such a precious thing was firstly because of the other person's human bloodline, and secondly because he saw that this little guy has good qualifications. If he cooperates with the spiritual jade he presented, he should have great achievements in the future.
This incident was just Tang Zhen's random behavior and there was no other special reason.
Tang Zhen naturally knew why it was a crime to possess a jade, so he waited here to tell the little guy how his parents solved the problem.
Of course, the main reason is to ask the little guy's parents where this piece of void iron came from.
Sure enough, not long after, the little guy's parents saw a stranger sitting next to him and hurried over. At the same time, they looked at Tang Zhen warily.
When the little guy got something good, he naturally wanted to show it off to his parents. He handed the jade token to his father with an expression on his face that he was coming to praise me.
The face of the little boy's father changed drastically. After looking at it carefully, he walked up to Tang Zhen holding the jade plaque.
Although he could not see Tang Zhen's cultivation level, he knew very well that Tang Zhen's identity was definitely not simple if he could take out such a precious jade token and give it away.
Things are good things, but falling into the hands of your own children is a disaster rather than a blessing, because some things are not something people like them can have.
On this point, the child's father sees it very clearly.
"Sir, we appreciate your kindness, but please take this thing back..."
When the child's father said this, Tang Zhen waved his hand to stop him.
He glanced at the human man with a weathered face, and said with a chuckle: "This kid has good qualifications. If you find an opportunity to bury this jade token inside his body, the wound will heal automatically.
With the help of this jade tablet, as long as he practices hard, he will definitely have a good level of cultivation when he reaches adulthood!
I’ve told you the solution, it’s up to you whether you believe it or not, I won’t take back the jade plaque, it’s up to you whether you want to keep it or sell it!”
It was rare for Tang Zhen to explain so much. After a pause, he raised the pendant in his hand: "Where did this thing come from?"
The child's father had taken back the jade plaque and replied respectfully: "This is something I picked up from the grassland. It looks very beautiful, so I used it as a toy for my child."
Tang Zhen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he continued to ask calmly: "Which grassland can you see from here?"
The child's father nodded and pointed to an area in front of him: "It's the grassland not far away. The place where I picked it up is close to the central area!"
Tang Zhen nodded. The diary only recorded that a meteorite had fallen, but did not record the specific location. This was also what made Tang Zhen feel embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, the crash site was right in front of him, which saved Tang Zhen a lot of trouble.
It's just that this kind of void iron can block mental power detection. The mental power scanning that Tang Zhen used before is not suitable for finding such items.
He once downloaded an application called [Advanced Treasure Detector], which was supposed to be able to detect this kind of void iron, but Tang Zhen tried it, but it had no effect at all.
Is it because there is no void iron in that area, or is it because the detection method used is similar to mental power, so it cannot be detected at all?
After Tang Zhen came to the grassland, he was thinking and searching.
This method of finding objects is a waste of time and inefficient. Moreover, Tang Zhen can only see the void iron that may exist on the ground, but cannot see what is under the soil at all.
The grassland under your feet is very large. If you just rely on yourself to search inch by inch, you won't be able to complete the search in a short time.
Although the Void Iron is very important, Tang Zhen cannot waste time here, so he must find a way to solve this problem.
After holding his chin and thinking for a moment, Tang Zhen teleported back to the original world and appeared in the US Alliance's base.
After seeing Tang Zhen appear and knowing his purpose, about ten minutes later, a soldier sent a metal detector.
He used an instrument to sweep the void iron, and as expected, a warning sound came out, which made Tang Zhen look happy.
Burying it in the soil still does not affect the detection effect. Obviously this kind of military equipment is very reliable.
With the existence of this kind of equipment, Tang Zhen no longer needs to worry about finding Void Iron. He can just hire a group of wanderers, teach them how to use it, and then wait for the results.
"Help me prepare fifty units of this equipment. The faster the better!"
Tang Zhen waited for about two hours before a batch of brand-new equipment that had been debugged was placed in front of him, and he took them all to the world of Loucheng.
When he came to the ruins, he called the little boy's father over, and Tang Zhen turned on the metal detector in his hand.
"Help me find a hundred people to work for, and I'll pay double the price!"
