Chapter 1313 Sunset's Persistence

Is 20 billion enough? Xizhao still couldn't give a clear answer.

But Qu Jianlei said without hesitation, "Even if it's not enough, it's at most 20 billion."

"A mere fire spirit is not worth more!"

Xizhao was a little anxious when he heard it, "It can help the nutrient and Dogan."

"It's not impossible without it," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "I already have the basic idea."

Is it a loss to exchange 20 billion for a fire spirit? It's really not a loss, not to mention that it can help those two.

However, he didn't want to get into some bad habits. Every creature has its value, but it can't be too expensive.

And even if five super spirit gathering arrays are opened, the upper limit of energy blocks consumed per day is only a little over 20 million.

If you want to consume 20 billion energy blocks, two years will not be enough. How long will everyone wait here?

Anyway, he has an idea. Even if there is no fire spirit, he can slowly correct the nutrient and Dogan's skills.

"30 billion," Xizhao bargained proactively, "the extra 10 billion will be considered my loan."

"That's not enough," Qu Jianlei said in a deep voice, "you have to make sure the fire spirit is obedient."

"Otherwise, we can only abandon it in the Girl Star Domain and let it fend for itself. All the related expenses will be yours."

The reason he could hold Xizhao's weakness, in addition to the nine heavenly oaths, was because he could supply spiritual energy.

Without the latter's support, how could a dignified heaven and earth spirit swear an oath with humiliation?

This fire spirit that has not yet been bred is different. In essence, it is a free body, and the awakening of the spirit is also operated by Xizhao.

If they really don't want to go with them, then all they can do is to collect the related expenses of breeding.

So Qu Jianlei's attitude is: if they really don't want to go with us, then stay in the Girl Star Domain.

If the fire spirit wants to take the initiative to leave the star domain, it is not impossible, but the risk will be borne by themselves.

"The cost is easy to negotiate," Xizhao didn't care at all. After all, lice won't bite people if there are too many of them. "Then go get the energy block."

"Wait," Qu Jianlei said, "It's easy to leave, but can you find it back?"

The unpredictable nature of the Girl Star Domain is well-known. When everyone enters this space, there is a lot of luck involved.

Duogan was also a little hesitant, "This... Can't the artificial intelligence find this place?"

Qu Jianlei communicated with Xiaohu, who said that it was indeed difficult to locate across the passage.

The safest way is for you to go with him.

Qu Jianlei thought about it and decided to take the others back, leaving Xizhao alone to incubate the fire spirit here.

Xizhao got anxious when he heard it, "If you can't find it, I'll be the only one left, right?"

Qu Jianlei spread his hands, "You can leave with us, and we'll find it again after we bring the energy block."

Xizhao was a little excited, "At least leave two people, aren't you destroying the bridge after crossing the river?"

Qu Jianlei looked at the ruler helplessly, "Even if we can't find it, can you still not get out?"

"If you didn't have to hatch the fire spirit, we wouldn't have to go back temporarily, right?"

"If you think no one will help, then leave the silver fir, and it will be convenient for me to sense and find it back."

He talked for a long time, and Xizhao finally decided to stay reluctantly. In addition to the silver fir, the 1314 ship also stayed.

Until the regiment-level ship sailed out of the channel and returned to the girl star field, Claire asked aloud.

"Boss, why do I feel...you are targeting it?"

She didn't say who it was because she was worried that Xizhao would sense it.

"It's originally an elf," Qu Jianlei answered casually, "If there is another elf...some things need to be prevented in advance."

"Oh," Claire nodded, "I thought...you two have a lot in common."

Everyone in the team can feel this, and Senior Xizhao is indeed the most respectful of the boss.

"After all, it is not from the same tribe," Qu Jianlei replied lightly, "If it is not of my tribe, its heart must be different."

"I don't doubt it, but it's better to set rules in advance for some things, which is good for everyone..."

At the same time, the ruler was circling outside the pink cover, and he kept muttering.

"Cultivating immortals is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly affairs..."

"Yinshan, build another spirit gathering array, I feel that five are not enough!"

Six spirit gathering arrays consume nearly 30 million energy blocks every day.

In a blink of an eye, more than two months have passed, and only more than 1 billion of the 3 billion energy blocks left by Qu Jianlei at the beginning.

"Let's remove two spirit gathering arrays," Xizhao couldn't bear it.

It was calculated based on a two-month round trip time. Qu Jianlei and others have not returned yet, so they must save money.

Xizhao also considered it and planned to leave at least 300 million energy blocks so that they could leave this place calmly.

Ten days later, the regiment-level ship had not returned yet, and Xizhao became more and more anxious.

"If it still hasn't returned in five days, we can only remove another spirit gathering array."

Ten days later, it couldn't help complaining to Yinshan, "I said, your original body seems to have abandoned you."

A few days later, Xizhao found that three months had passed. The key point was that it realized a bigger problem.

"Can the 1314 ship get out of the channel? It is estimated that it will fall apart halfway... This is a pitfall!"

It was not until this time that it realized that the 1314 ship might not be able to get out of the channel.

Yinshan said, "When the starship is destroyed and the passage is halfway through, senior, if you want to get out, it won't be a big problem, right?"

After another ten days, the bright red ball actually squirmed slightly.

Xizhao became even more anxious now, the ruler flying around and around, "Were they killed just when they needed spiritual energy?"

Five days later, Qu Jianlei and his party had been away for three and a half months.

Xizhao couldn't bear it any longer, and lost another spirit gathering array. It was so angry that it even cursed.

"This...is really too much."

Fortunately, the next day, Yinshan said, "I have entered the passage. I will arrive in a few days."

When the regiment-level ship appeared, Zhizi didn't even bother to show up.

It wasn't until Qu Jianlei and others appeared in the stone chamber that it said in a strange way, "If it had been a few days later, the fire spirit would have been born!"

Qu Jianlei replied with a smile, "We dragged the meteorite with the sword intention back, and it took a little effort."

According to his wishes, it doesn't matter if the meteorite is not taken back. It is also in line with nature to leave it there for the destined person.

But this time I went back and made a special trip to transport energy blocks. It felt like it was such a waste of manpower and material resources.

So they turned a corner and dragged the meteorite back.

When the meteorite, which was more than ten kilometers long, left the Maiden Star Territory, even the military was shocked, "Such a huge harvest?"

Qu Jianlei and the others ignored the military's question. The military couldn't forcefully seize the meteorite anyway.

The result was good. The military thought the meteorite was a big secret and reported it.

Such a large meteorite was not suitable for placement on an ordinary habitable star, so they simply brought it to the Rock Star.

This is one of the eight core stars, and there is not much free space, so the meteorite was directly accelerated and became a satellite of Panshi.

A habitable star suddenly has such a large satellite, and certain procedures are required.

The relevant matters will be left to the Shui Group to handle - their relationship with the Digital Phantom is already well known.

Anyway, this satellite was created by Digital Phantom. At least the military recognized it and the procedures were not difficult.

However, the news that meteorites are good for tempering mental strength has also been released - otherwise there is no way to explain this behavior.

When the military heard that there was such a good thing, they wanted to take it for themselves and were willing to pay a certain fee for it.

But Qu Jianlei did not agree, and only said that he could charge for the experience appropriately - these were managed by the Shui Group.

In fact, for Qu Jianlei, the fee charged does not mean much. What he values ​​​​is his own ownership of the meteorite.

This matter somewhat delayed the trip, and Dogan also spent some time purchasing energy blocks - the amount needed was too large.

Then everyone went to get out of the battalion-class ship, which took some time.

Adding up the three things, the time spent is considerable, but the biggest problem is still: they can't find the space sub-layer!

The group of people wandered around the Maiden Star Territory for a month before finding their location again.

This was thanks to the fact that Qu Jianlei had a weak sense of the clone and could adjust the direction from time to time, otherwise it would only take longer.

"...The main thing is that the entrance to this space sub-layer is mobile and really hard to find!"

Xizhao lost her temper after hearing this, "You said you brought a battalion-level ship, where are they?"

"Of course outside the passage," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "If you enter the passage, it may cause unnecessary losses."

"You also know it's not safe," Xizhao was almost angry to death, "then can the armed merchant ship you left for me be used?"

"Okay, after all, something is better than nothing," Qu Jianlei smiled, "It looks like... she's about to be pregnant?"

"Who knows," Xizhao replied angrily, "Maybe it will take a few years."

"Then you continue to watch?" Qu Jianlei asked tentatively, "We just went to try our luck elsewhere."

"Don't even think about it!" The ruler blocked the door of the stone room with a swish, "You have to wait here!"

"We only waited half a month!" Qu Jianlei said seriously, "We spent more than three months on your matter!"

"Now we have brought the energy block you want. Why do you keep us waiting?"

Xizhao finally came to his senses, "Do you... have a problem with me?"

Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes helplessly, "The eight of us are not doing anything but waiting for you. Do you think it's appropriate?"

In the following time, others drove regiment-level ships and continued to explore this space sub-layer.

Qu Jianlei set up a computing unit and began to calculate improved techniques for Duogan and nutritional supplements.

Ten days later, the regiment-level ship returned and harvested some mysterious gold fragments and some miscellaneous bits and pieces.

The most important thing is that I received a storage bag, which actually contained a lot of Yuanying animal skins!
