Volume 19 Chapter 98 There Are Too Many Benefits, Is It a Scam?

The thing that the Qilin warrior handed over was not some metal I had never seen before, but a very commonly used metal - black gold.

Black gold is a metal similar to gold. Its hardness is very low. Its properties are a bit like plasticine, but its density is very high and heavier than gold. Of course, its color is as black as coal, so it is It's called black gold.

Black gold has a wide range of uses because it is a special material used to carve magic circles. Although it is not a necessary material, its substitute can only exert half of its effectiveness. That is to say, if the two magic arrays are drawn using black gold and black gold substitutes, even if other factors are the same, the effectiveness of the magic array with black gold added will be more than double that of the other one without black gold.

Precisely because the sexual performance of black gold is so important, its usage in the depiction of magic circles is also astonishing. However, like all materials with outstanding sexual performance, the output of black gold is also appallingly low. To a certain extent, if it weren't for the very small amount of black gold used to carve the magic circle, it is estimated that the price of black gold would probably exceed dragon's blood and various gemstones and become one of the most expensive materials in the magic circle. Of course, the above price refers to the total price of black gold in a magic circle. If divided by weight, black gold is already the most expensive material. After all, although gems or dragon's blood cost a lot of money, the amount used in the magic circle is still dozens of grams. When averaged down to the average of each gram, it doesn't feel so scary. However, although black gold does not account for much money in the magic circle, its usage is only a few tenths of a gram each time. On average, the unit price is definitely one of the most expensive magic materials.

In fact, in addition to being used to depict magic circles, black gold itself is also one of the necessary materials in high-end equipment. Because black gold itself is a magic power stabilizing material, whether it is for magic power transmission or storage, as long as it is not used to release magic, almost any part can be added with some black gold, and the properties of black metal can make the part where it is added The transmission and storage media should minimize the amount of magic that can be broken down, thus ensuring the stability and accuracy of magic, and improving the success rate and power of magic without increasing usage requirements.

Such an important and commonly used thing can be said to be a substance that is often seen, but why didn't I recognize it before? The reason lies in the size of the piece of black gold in my hand. This piece of black gold is as big as his grandfather's human head. You must know that the black gold mined in the past was associated with gold mines, and the output was also surprisingly low. The volume of natural black gold discovered every time was basically no larger than the size of a soybean. , but the piece in front of me is as big as a human head. Of course, I can't think about black gold. It's like if you suddenly looked up one day and found that the sky above the city was covered by a giant creature with eight legs and a pair of large pincers. Your first reaction would never think that it was a crab, because according to normal Common sense, crabs never grow that big. This is my current situation. The reason why I couldn't recognize it for a while was because I didn't expect Black Gold to be of such a size. And from what the Qilin warrior said, it seemed that there were a lot of Black Gold like this over there.

"Where did you find this?"

"Over there." The Kirin Warrior pointed in a direction behind him. I looked along his finger and discovered that there was a small hole over there. Probably knowing what I was wondering about, the Qilin warrior directly added: "That's just a cave entrance. There's a cave about the same size as here when you go through it. There are such things everywhere in it." , and we don’t know how deep it is under the ground. By the way, there seem to be a few strange nests over there. The lin beasts seem to be hostile to those nests, but we can’t feel any power fluctuations. It may be There are monster eggs in there.”

"And there are monster eggs? Take me there right away to have a look."

The Warcraft in "Zero" does not have any method of giving birth like in reality. Most of the Warcraft here lay eggs. Even if there are viviparous or special breeding types, it is very rare. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that whether the cub of the Warcraft hatches or not, in my eyes it is equated with the crystal coin. Unhatched monster eggs are actually monster pet eggs, and even catching them is omitted. As for the hatched ones... is it still difficult to catch a cub? Therefore, as long as the little beast has not yet emerged from the nest, whether it has hatched or not, it is valuable.

Following the Kirin Warrior, he ran to the entrance of the cave he had seen before. After passing through a passage about three meters long, he saw pitch black. Although there is no lighting in the cave itself, because of the need for mining, I asked Xiaochun to add lighting to the entire cave, so it should be very bright here. However, the cave here is indeed pitch black, because in this cave, both the cave wall and the ground, and even the roof of the cave are covered with a layer of black gold. Look like this, Even if only the surface layer was made of black gold, it would probably weigh more than ten tons. You must know that although black gold is widely used, the key is that the proportion added is very small. Even with the exaggerated consumption of our guild, these dozen tons of black gold will definitely not be used up within half a year. And what if there’s more to the black gold than just the surface?

"A few people are coming here." After a cursory look around the cave, I waved to summon a few Kirin warriors. "Immediately disperse to various parts of the cave and help me dig holes into the ground to see how deep this black metal is buried. Just dig to the boundary layer."

Several Qilin warriors nodded and stood separately at various positions in the cave and began to dig down. Originally, I thought that the black gold production here would not be exaggerated and that they would be able to dig up the boundary layer very quickly. However, I didn’t expect that some Qilin warriors would dig up the boundary layer very quickly. However, there were only two Qilin warriors who dug into the boundary layer. Samurai, the remaining six Kirin warriors actually dug for more than ten minutes before one of them reached the boundary layer.

"How deep is it now?" I walked to the Kirin warrior who had just stopped and asked.

"About half a meter." The Qilin warrior said after looking at the hole he dug.

I nodded and then looked at the hole dug by the two Qilin warriors who stopped first. The black gold at the location of the two first pits that stopped only covered a depth of less than ten centimeters on the surface, while the pit behind was fifty centimeters deep. If the depths of the other pits were all fifty centimeters, If we do the math, we can conservatively estimate that the black gold here is enough for us to use it for at least a year. However, judging from the state of the pits dug by the other five Qilin warriors, it is estimated that the depth of those five pits is more than fifty centimeters, so the storage capacity of the mining area is quite terrifying. Moreover, this is only based on estimating the depth of the ground and then calculating the walls and cave roof as only the surface layer. If there are many mineral layers behind the cave roof and walls, the reserves would be terrible.

"Military God." Although the ground part has not been dug yet, if the depth of the mineral deposits on the walls and roof of the cave is uncertain, the total reserves of the mining area are still impossible to calculate. However, if we rely solely on large holes, regardless of whether the estimated values ​​are accurate or not, the amount of work alone is enough to kill people. So, I thought of a better method, which is quick and hassle-free.

"What's the matter?" After receiving my call, the military god immediately asked.

I briefly told the military god about my plan, and the military god immediately said that it could be done, and then made the arrangements himself without waiting for my order.

In fact, my method is not complicated. It can be broken down into three points. First, use pepper’s mental detection ability to scan the distribution of black gold in the entire mining area. Second, use the psychic network of the newly joined Aurora Beast and the princess's conscious connection to transmit all the black gold distribution maps scanned by Chili Pepper to the God of War. Third, use the spatial computing power of the Junshen supercomputer to calculate the accurate reserves of the mining area.

Originally, if the God of War was allowed to come here directly to make a spiritual connection with Chili Pepper, there would be no need to trouble Aurora Beast to do another transfer. However, because the God of War must always supervise the crystal communication network of our guild, his scope of activities is limited to Isinger. Once he leaves Isinger, our guild's command system will fall into an unsupervised state. , although that may not cause any problems, but it is still not good. Moreover, because Weina and the others happened to bring a space gate with them when they came here before, there is no need for the Aurora Beast to run very far. As long as there are three or four Aurora Beasts, it should be enough to establish the connection.

With the command of the God of War, it was obviously much faster to get the personnel in place. In less than ten minutes, several Aurora Beasts came to our side through the newly opened portal, and then established a psychic network as required. After the network here was prepared, Chili Pepper immediately began to scan the entire mine with his mental power, and soon a detailed distribution map of black gold came out.

With the computing power of the God of War, the volume calculation of this kind of irregular graphics is equivalent to asking college students to do single-digit addition and subtraction for him. Almost as soon as Chili Pepper finished scanning, the God of War reported the results. data.

"More than eleven thousand two hundred and twenty-seven tons." After the war god finished speaking, he asked: "Do you need more accurate data? I can get it accurate to within one gram."

"No need." Anyway, I just need a rough estimate, not that precise. After saying that, I thought that our guild would no longer have to buy black gold in the future, and a proud smile appeared on my face unconsciously. But just to feel reassured, I still asked the God of War. "By the way, Military God, help me calculate how long the current black gold can be used? Three years or five years?" After saying that, I smiled and waited for the Military God to give me a satisfactory answer. Who knew that the Military God almost didn't give up a word? I lay down on the ground.

"According to this storage capacity, if non-production consumption is not calculated, it should be enough for three to four months."

"What?" The original plan of using it for three to five years actually only lasted for three to four months. Isn't this shrinkage too serious? "Why can we only use so little time? Three to four months? Our guild can use more than two thousand tons of black gold in a month?"

"Originally we wouldn't need so much, but didn't you just bring back a demon doll Jiaha?"

"What does it have to do with him?"

"Because he reunited with the current Jiaha and Norin, the three of them merged their respective theories together. With the variable metal technology of the demon puppet Jiaha, they planned to upgrade all the mobile angels in our guild to new ones. version of the deformable mobile angel. The new design drawing has been submitted to me thirty minutes ago, and Miss Rose and the two vice presidents have signed and approved it. Because the new deformable mobile angel involves a large number of fusion magic circles, it needs to be compared The existing mobile angels use more black gold as magic power stabilizing material. In addition, due to the fusion and splitting ability of the demon Jiaha, the production speed of our guild's mobile angels will be greatly increased, so the consumption speed will also increase simultaneously. Based on the above data, approximately This part of the black gold will be consumed in three to four months. In addition, we may need to purchase an additional three thousand tons of black gold during this period to ensure the complete replacement of the new mobile angel. After the replacement, There is no need to mass-produce mobile angels, and the consumption will drop significantly by then, but it may still reach a monthly consumption of more than three tons. After all, there are too many magic parts in the new technology, and the increase in consumption of stable materials is also an inevitable result. "

"Okay, I finally understand. The person I brought back is not a scientist at all, this is simply an ancestor who spends money!"

The military god replied without emotion: "Although the investment is huge, the efficiency ratio of the new mobile angel is much higher. Comprehensive calculation, we actually made a huge profit."

"Okay, okay, I just want to complain. Okay, you have nothing to do here." After closing the connection with the God of War, I sent the Aurora Beast back to Essinger through the portal. Of course, now that the storage capacity here is so large, it seems inappropriate to let my summoned creatures mine it. After all, they are not miners. If the quantity is small, it's okay to take it back with you. It's not suitable for them to dig such a large vein.

After solving the black gold problem, I started to shift my target to the huge nests above my head. The nest that the Qilin warrior just reported is on the top of this cave. From below, it looks like a huge drop of water hanging on the roof of the cave that is about to drip to the ground. These nests are all made of a purple translucent material. The outside is as smooth as glass, but the inside is full of all kinds of fluff that comes from nowhere. As for how many cubs there are in the nest, they can't be seen underneath because of the layer of fur.

I selected a nest not far above my head, then I pulled out the head of the dragon tendon rope and put it on the Avenger's firing port, then raised my right arm and aimed at the nest. Move your finger on the top of the cave next to you. With a bang, the dragon's sinew rope 'shot' up to the top of the cave with its long rope, and then directly embedded into the black gold on the top of the cave with a clanking sound.

Originally, I expected to hoist myself up, but I forgot about the nature of the black gold, so I just pulled the rope head off with just a force. Black gold is as hard as plasticine and cannot bear weight at all. The all-conquering "a"-shaped expanding barb in front of the dragon tendon rope cannot lock such a soft thing at all. A little force will break it. The black gold is torn and loosened.

"Damn, this cave roof is broken." I cursed secretly, then simply spread my wings and flew up. Although flying in the cave is more dangerous, I had no choice but to go up like this because the rope couldn't hang on me.

I was careful not to hit the roof of the cave, and then I carefully approached the nest above my head. After walking half a circle around the nest, I found the entrance located diagonally above the nest. From here, I could clearly see the three magic pet eggs lying quietly inside the nest.

"Haha, it hasn't hatched yet. This saves trouble."

Unhatched Monster Eggs are actually equivalent to Demon Pet Eggs. Compared with the Demon Pet Eggs that are captured by trainers and turned into adult Monster Eggs, the only difference between these eggs naturally produced by wild Monsters is that they can hatch naturally. The magic pet egg transformed by the captured skill will only hatch after the player confirms the ownership of the magic pet egg by dripping blood or other methods, but the wild magic pet egg can hatch into a wild monster by itself as long as the temperature is suitable. In addition to this difference, The two eggs are exactly the same thing.

Although the three eggs here are all wild eggs, as long as they are not hatched now, once they leave the nest, they will naturally lose the appropriate temperature and environmental factors. As long as they don't happen to encounter the same nest as theirs. environment, it will not hatch naturally. Besides, it doesn't matter if the egg hatches. The success rate of catching the cubs with my catching skills will definitely not be less than 80%, if not 100%.

After confirming that all three eggs were intact and energetic, I threw the three eggs into the Phoenix Dragon space, and then continued to fly towards other nests. After going around the entire cave, I found a total of twenty-seven magic pet eggs. If I sold them all, I would definitely make a lot of money.

When I first collected the magic pet eggs, I identified the properties of the magic pet eggs, and found that they all belonged to the giant bats I had seen before, and that bat itself was a level 1,200 monster. .

According to the current market price of magic pet eggs on the market, a level 1,200 magic pet egg can be sold for approximately 5 million to 10 million crystal coins. Moreover, this price is only the price of an ordinary level 1,200 magic pet egg. price. The price of a flying magic pet is generally ten to twelve percent higher than that of a magic pet of the same level, and the price of a magic pet with special abilities can also be that much higher. If it can both fly and have special abilities, the price will be at least higher. Out half. Not only can this bat fly, but it also has two special attributes: ultrasonic detection and giant venom bite. So if you really want to calculate, this thing can sell for at least 10 million or more.

However, considering that more bat eggs were found this time, the price may fluctuate a bit. On the one hand, a large quantity may drive down the price. On the other hand, if the same kind of magic pet is purchased by a certain team, the price may increase a lot. Therefore, the final price cannot be estimated for the time being, but the price of 10 million for one should still be enough. It is guaranteed that the final transaction price will only be higher than this, and will never be lower.

After cleaning up these magic pet eggs, the smile on my face not only did not increase, but was filled with sadness. This cave looks like a treasure house no matter how you look at it. The total value of the things inside is estimated to have exceeded 2 billion crystal coins. It’s not like there’s a bug in the system, so how could it be possible for me to be given so much money for nothing out of nowhere? Then, according to the consistent style of the system - equal risks and benefits. I suddenly got so many benefits, does it mean that the system has arranged some huge trouble for me? The damn system might as well tell me directly what the trouble is. Knowing the specific problem will help me feel more at ease. The feeling of waiting to die now is really more painful than death!
