In the open space at the checkpoint at the entrance to the shuttle ladder on the ground, a carrier ship is parked at the moment, and all the coolies from the mining area are moving the found crystal-carrying matrix to the starship.
The entrance to the checkpoint was naturally guarded by a large number of mercenaries, and Mao Luan was of course also there, but this time he was not sitting, but standing, standing obediently behind a person.
There was a chair in the open space, and this man was sitting on the chair. Other mercenaries were standing guard all around.
This man is not tall, and on the contrary, he is a bit short in stature, but his gestures are more majestic than Mao Luan. He is obviously a high-ranking figure in the Thieves Corps, because only these crystal-laden matrix bodies can alarm the top brass.
Mao Luan had already trotted over, with a flattering smile on his face: "Master Guan, the dividends have been distributed. I have already counted the number of people, and now only Du Mo and Ye Lang have not come up yet."
Guan Bai nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work!"
Mao Luan immediately lowered his head: "It should be!"
Guan Bai said: "Then we will wait."
Mao Luan didn't dare to object: "Okay."
They did not wait too long. After about half an hour, the entrance door opened to both sides, the shuttle ladder went up, and Ding Meng and Du Mo walked out pushing the huge box.
As soon as they came out, the surrounding mercenaries cheered and surrounded him, aiming their long guns and short cannons at the two of them.
Du Mo's expression changed: "Captain Mao, what do you mean?"
Mao Luan stepped forward and coughed twice: "This... that..."
Guan Bai in the distance waved his hand calmly: "Put these guys away, Mr. Du is a distinguished guest, so please don't be rude."
The firearms were quickly put away, but the problem was that the mercenaries were not polite to the two of them. They took out their tools again, and dozens of people pried the box up, seemingly carrying it to the starship.
Guan Bai immediately waved to Ding Mengdu Mo, indicating that he should come forward to speak.
Du Mo's face was obviously displeased: "Captain Guan, it seems unreasonable for you to transport the goods away like this, right?"
Guan Bai showed a gentle smile: "Mr. Du is young and promising. I admire him very much for finding the goods in such a short time. Representatives of your company have arrived here and are visiting the head of the group. I am under the supervision of the head of the group."
As entrusted by the group leader, I came here specifically to pick up Mr. Du and the goods. As for how to resolve the goods, it will be up to the two families to negotiate."
Du Mo remained silent and said: "In that case, I would like to thank Commander Lu for his kindness. I don't need to be a guest."
Guan Bai was a little surprised: "Oh? Why?"
Du Mo said: "Captain Guan, I was entrusted by the school to come here to provide technical guidance. Now that the container has been found, my task can be considered completed. There are several classmates who came with me. They are here
For sightseeing, I’d better meet them as soon as possible, because it’s time for us to go back.”
Guan Bai's expression seemed a little regretful. In fact, he wanted to make friends with this proud man from Xinghui University, but there was nothing he could do if the other party didn't give him a chance: "In this case, I will immediately arrange a ship to send Mr. Du
Departure."
Du Mo smiled and waved his hand: "Captain Guan is too polite. We are all students. It would be more appropriate to take the Tianyun public safety ship."
"Okay then!" Guan Bai sighed helplessly, and then he turned his eyes to Ding Meng, "Is this Mr. Wild Wolf?"
Ding Meng immediately stepped forward: "Hello!"
Guan Bai turned to look at Mao Luan: "Does Mr. Wild Wolf have red hair?"
He obviously knew the specific situation of the mining area. Regardless of the points accumulated by Qian Zhenghong and Li Zhao, Ding Meng was the one who truly discovered the Xinghong Group's crystal-laden matrix.
Mao Luan had already walked up with his wrist device on, with a gentle smile on his face: "Brother, you are in good luck. Master Guan attaches great importance to talents. There is a dividend of 500,000 star coins here. Thank you very much, Master Guan."
?”
"Wait!" Ding Meng waved his hand decisively to stop him, "This is not the dividend I want."
Mao Luan was stunned: "Then what do you want?"
Ding Meng replied coldly: "Captain Mao, I remember you said before that as long as you can dig it out, it won't matter if you open it at 82 or 91."
Mao Luan's expression changed: "Boy, don't give me a toast or drink as a penalty. If you don't believe me, ask your colleagues around you. Who has a bonus of more than 100,000 star coins? If I give you 500,000, it's because the steward is taking special care of you.
"
Ding Meng didn't bother to listen to his explanation at all, but pointed directly at the box and said:
"This crystal-loaded matrix is made of platinum group red crystal metal. It was a common material on the market more than a hundred years ago. Although it is not a liquid polymer alloy, the amount of this raw material has become very small now.
They are rare and of great research value. The cost of these 12 containers now exceeds 80 million star coins. I spent a lot of effort to find them, but now you want to use 500,000 star coins.
Did I send you away? Do you think I am a beggar?"
"You!" Mao Luan was furious, "Do you even know who you are talking to?"
Ding Meng definitely didn't say this to him, but he was taking a risky gamble. Naturally, he was so "professional" casually because the villain was teaching him secretly, with the purpose of attracting Guan Bai's attention.
He staged such a huge battle in the underground mining area just to attract the attention of the top brass of the Extreme Thief Force. There is only one reason: Pagoda is so big, the underground area is so complicated, and there are dozens of large starships floating around the planet.
He didn't even know where the gangster's lair was.
If he and Meng Yan were to search the area one by one, they probably wouldn't be able to find out for several years. However, if they get a tip from the top brass, it would be much easier.
Sure enough, Guan Bai waved his hand lightly, and Mao Luan retreated with a look of resentment on his face.
"Brother Wolf, I heard that you were a raider before?" Guan Bai looked at him with interest.
Ding Meng said: "Yes, I have been in this business for many years. If you hadn't recruited me at such a high price this time, I wouldn't have come all the way here."
Guan Bai simply asked directly: "Then how much do you want?"
Ding Meng said: "I don't want money."
"Oh?" Guan Bai was stunned, "Then what do you want?"
Ding Meng's eyes fell into the distance, where the mercenaries were using engineering vehicles to lift boxes onto the starship: "I want a container."
Guan Bai smiled meaningfully: "Your appetite is not small."
Ding Meng sneered and said: "I am self-aware. What is in it has nothing to do with me. I just need to scrape some materials from the outside of the container and then take it back for research. Anyway, many people can't use such a container now, so why not
Let me turn waste into treasure."
Guan Bai did not answer him directly, but turned to look at Mao Luan again.
Mao Luan also remembered what Ding Meng had said before in the underground mining area that his expenses had always been high because he was an authoritative expert on raw materials, so Mao Luan nodded slightly, indicating that this was indeed the case.
Guan Bai smiled: "I wonder what Brother Wolf wants to study?"
Ding Meng said: "The raiding starships are always much more repaired. My materials can be sold at a high price."
This answer is watertight. The transport capacity of the assault corps is indeed unmatched by any corps. This is completely reasonable.
Guan Bai nodded with satisfaction: "Brother Wolf, in fact, our bandit's starship also needs repairs. Are you interested in repairing our port? How much money will Xiqing give you? Guan Bai can pay double."
Xi Qing is the commander-in-chief of the assault corps. Since Guan Bai dared to speak so directly, he obviously had the intention of poaching others.
Don't be afraid if you dig it. Anyway, the two families are far apart. It's impossible for you from Xiqing to come to Paguxing, right?
He also saw that Ding Meng traveled thousands of miles to Pagoda Star to search for treasures. How many of these mercenaries do not love money?
Ding Meng suddenly sneered: "Master Guan, those in our line of work must come out to Taobao for money, but it is not appropriate to do it all for money without following some rules. Since I have eaten a bowl of rice from the raid, I naturally have to do it for Mr. Qing."
work."
Guan Bai also smiled, and his smile was full of meaning: "If you think that I, Guan Bai, am trying to pry him into Xiqing's corner, you are wrong."
"Oh?" Ding Meng frowned.
Guan Bai said: "Brother Wolf, you should also know that our Thieves Corps has always used money to do things. Every penny is worth the goods. How much money we get, how many things we have to do. In the same way, if we give money,
We also ask people to use money to do things.”
Ding Meng hesitated and said: "Does Master Guan want me to work for your Thieves Corps?"
Guan Bai waved his hand and said: "You are wrong. It is our Thieves Corps who asked you, Brother Wolf, to do things. Fair dealings, no deception."
As soon as he said this, Ding Meng knew in his heart that things were going in the direction he predicted. He was not afraid of raising the price in vain, but he was afraid that the other party would not open his mouth.
Ding Meng said: "I wonder what Guan Ye wants me to do?"
Guan Bai pondered and said: "I heard that the top talents in your field can determine the value of something by just taking a glance at it when digging for treasure?"
"That's right!" Ding Meng nodded. In fact, he is quite authoritative in this regard. For example, as soon as a piece of gold-bearing shale is unearthed, he can immediately judge how much it contains by its appearance, volume, color, texture, and degree of penetration.
Jinsha, workers who have worked in the black gold base for more than three years basically have this ability.
"Brother Wolf also has this ability, right?" Guan Bai stared at him.
Ding Meng knew that he must have a deep meaning in asking such a question, so he replied in a deep voice: "These twelve boxes of goods have been buried underground for at least eighty years. It should be said that the accurate time is about eighty-three years. The contents inside are more than
As for the containers themselves, they are only high, not low, and they are buried in the form of a whole cabin closed warehouse. I believe that they contain special crystal stones at last."
Guan Bai suddenly clapped his hands and said: "Brother Wolf is indeed the leader in this industry, so please come on board. You are welcome to be our guest in the Thieves Corps."
Ding Meng hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. Thank you, Mr. Guan, for your kindness."
