Volume 19, Chapter 132: Looking for Someone to Do the Work

"God of War, help me pick up the General Staff."

"General Staff?"

"It's the General Staff."

"Does our guild have this department?"

"It's a think tank! You can't even react to a joke, and it's called a smart computer."

The God of War didn't bother to pay attention to me at all, and directly took the signal from Su Mei. "Brother Ziri, what kind of trouble have you encountered again?" As soon as Su Mei heard my voice, she knew that there must be trouble on my side, otherwise I wouldn't be able to think of these think tanks who just think about it all day long.

I told her about the problems in the mining area, and Su Mei asked me to wait, and then I waited for a minute before I got a reply.

"After our discussion, we found that this mining area is an enclave. Our guild has no cities or military deployments nearby. The only connection is the tourism project you did before, and it was contracted by others. We only have the ability to communicate and coordinate, and almost There is no physical presence.”

"Okay, okay, I understand what you mean. It's just that we don't have the strength in this area. Just say the following."

"The reason below is that because we don't have the strength, we are not suitable to mine there."

"What should we do? Give up?"

"Of course...impossible." Sumei gave me a big breath first, and then said: "Pumice ore is a rare resource, and it has a wide range of uses for us, not to mention it is a mining area with such a large reserve. Although the density It’s a bit lower, but it just makes mining more difficult.”

"Then what do you mean...?"

"We provide equipment, hire local people to help with mining, and hand over peripheral security work to them. We only send a few powerful elites to hold down the battle."

Almost as soon as I heard So-mei's suggestion, the image of the prisoner I captured before popped into my head. "Rose Vine, go up and pull down the guy we knocked unconscious before."

The rose vine instantly got into the tunnel that had been dug long ago and went all the way up to catch people, and I said to Su Mei: "I have found a partner, is there anything else I should pay attention to? By the way, the mine is leaky. You haven’t solved the threat issue yet.”

"This is actually the simplest question." Su Mei explained: "Don't the Atlantis mermaids, our guild's affiliated race, have waterproof door technology? Come back to the guild and take a group of steel claws to that underground river. If we dig out another channel nearby, seal the original river channel with a waterproof door, and allow the underground river to bypass the mining area, wouldn't the problem be solved?"

"Is this okay?"

"Is there anything that can't be achieved?"

"It seems like there really isn't. Okay, I understand the specific actions. You can go about your business." Cutting off the contact with Su Mei, I connected to the God of War and said: "God of War, help me courier a group of guild guardian beasts with steel claws. I'm in my current position, I'm useful. By the way, I'll send some management staff over, we're going to mine here for a long time."

"When will you use it? I need to decide on the shipping method based on your schedule."

"As soon as possible without much cost."

"Then you can use the teleportation array to send the Steel Claw to *** City first, and then transfer to the airship from *** City."

The airship is the kind of transport ship made using our guild's gravity resistance technology. However, because our guild's gravity resistance device has always had the problem of being unable to move horizontally after being activated, our airships currently can only rely on the crawler type. The multiple devices are alternately activated to achieve air movement. However, the cost of this crawler device is very high (it originally only had one anti-gravity device but now it has n units). Secondly, because of the relatively large friction, the speed of this thing is not very fast. The worst thing is that turning is very troublesome. It must first stop in the air and then turn slowly. The flexibility is basically zero. Apart from being a transport boat and an aerial turret, it is really not of much use.

In fact, in addition to airships, our guild also has regular flying devices that use jet engines. For example, the Mobile Angel itself can be regarded as a small aircraft with air combat capabilities. However, considering the cost of this thing, it is really impossible to equip it on a large scale, and the energy consumption during flight is too high. It is okay for the Mobile Angel to fly occasionally. If a large aircraft is specially built to use this kind of spray, 'Shoot' the engine, the money spent on buying magic crystals will bankrupt us.

If it weren't for the fact that both of our guild's flying devices have such major flaws, I wouldn't be so concerned about the pumice mine. In the final analysis, the game "Zero" has a strong magical background, and all technological products are suppressed to a certain extent. Otherwise, we will definitely be able to develop a better flying device than the pumice stone.

Originally, the inflatable airship in reality was also a good thing. Just make some airtight lightweight containers to form a honeycomb explosion-proof airbag, and finally build any kind of loading bay and hang it under the big balloon, and then you can fly normally. However, the large flying creatures in the game are really awesome, which is the main reason why we don’t build airships. I ask you to tie a bunch of balloons to your body and fight a flying dragon in the air. Do you dare? If someone pokes the airship twice casually with a claw, it will turn into a submarine, the kind that is designed to dive into the soil. This kind of safety is enough to be used as a transport ship, but forget about fighting. After ten thousand years of development, an airship cannot defeat a flying dragon.

After discussing with the God of War to send someone over as soon as possible, Rose Vine happened to bring down the guy who was knocked unconscious, but this guy was pretty awesome, and he was actually pulled into the hole and still sleeping.

"Hey, wake up, wake up." I went up and kicked the guy a few times and finally woke him up, but the first thing the guy did when he woke up was not to jump up immediately, but to turn over, and then... …and then he fell asleep again. "Holy crap, this guy must have been trapped to death because he didn't sleep in his last life!" Looking at this sleeping guy on the ground, I stood up angrily and snapped my fingers. "Shuangxue, help him wake up."

Shuangxue just glanced at the guy on the ground, and then with a wave of his hand, the guy immediately jumped up from the ground, but the person who was fine just now instantly turned into an old man, with eyebrows and hair. It was covered with a thick layer of white frost, and even the surface of the armor was covered with ice scum.

As soon as the trembling guy saw me, he immediately ran over and tried to hug my legs. I was so scared that I hurriedly hid far away. "Stay there and don't move."

After hearing my order, the guy stopped immediately and looked at me with runny nose and tears and cried: "President Ziri, please stop 'forcing' me. I will say anything. We are here." Those who dug the pumice mine. The ore is under the battlefield. I don’t know how deep it is. There was originally a hole that could be entered, but it was later destroyed by bombing. I don’t know that they..."

"Stop it." This guy couldn't stop talking as soon as he started talking. I was so frightened that I quickly told him to stop. I would have to wait until this time tomorrow when he said he was tired. "Shut up now. Whatever I ask you say. Just nod if you understand and don't make any sound."

The guy nodded cooperatively and looked at me waiting for my next question.

Seeing how cooperative he was, I asked directly: "Why did you suddenly say those things just now? I didn't ask you."

"Oh, that's right. Before you saved me..."

"Stop." I quickly shouted again. "What do you mean, rescue? When did I save you?"

"I was kidnapped by two very vicious guys before, and you rescued me, didn't you?"

"Are you talking about the two of them?"

Following my words, the ghost and the Queen of Blades walked over from the side, and the guy was immediately stunned. Because I had to clean up the caves and look for ores, I released a lot of Death Guards and Qilin Warriors. Precisely because there were too many people here, this guy never found out that the ghost and the Queen of Blades who kidnapped him before were also there. So much so that when he woke up and saw me for the first time, he thought I had saved him.

"Do you think we are vicious?" Queen of Blades asked in a cold voice. The murderous intent in her words was even more chilling than Shuangxue's freezing skills.

The guy who was asked was dumbfounded and stood there for a long time before suddenly reacting and rushing over to hug the Queen of Blades' thigh. Then he cried with snot and tears, saying that he was blind and could not recognize Taishan. Everyone present was amazed at this guy's ability to flatter him. This guy is simply the reincarnation of a bitch! Isn't the slave statue too obvious? Now I'm sure that if this guy isn't very good at acting, he must be a natural-born bad guy. However, this is exactly what I need.

"Okay, okay, you two, stop scaring him." After letting Blade and Ghost retreat first, I said to the guy: "Okay, don't worry about what happened before. If I ask you now, just answer whatever you want. ,Understand?"

"Absolutely. If you have anything, just ask. As long as I know, I will answer truthfully. If I don't know, then I will go and find out for you."

I automatically ignored the guy's flattery and asked, "What's your name? Which guild do you belong to?"

"My name is Habu, and I am a senior member of the Dogge Alliance."

"Dogege Alliance? Never heard of it. Which country's guild is it? How big is it?"

"Oh, our Dogege Alliance is a guild composed of players from many countries, but our boss and vice president are both people on the Arela people's front line."

When I heard what the guy said, I quickly turned my back and covered my ears to connect to the military god's communication. "Hey, do you have a map of the real political situation there?"

"Where do you want it?"

"South America. Help me find the Arela people's intelligence lines."

"Sorry, I can't help with this."

"Damn, even if a super computer can do this, it can't even check this?"

"It's not that I can't find it, it's that I can't keep up with their speed." Military God, a computer that should be very emotionally slow, couldn't help complaining: "In South America, except for Peru, Colombia, Chile and Argentina, In addition to the relatively stable political power, other small countries change their 'governments' almost every three days, and the borders between countries are also unstable. It is still one country today, and it may split into several countries tomorrow morning, and then wait until tomorrow In the afternoon, they merged into a country again, and also occupied a certain district in the neighboring country. In addition, their various tribal armed forces also like to carry out coups, and then everyone changes their names every day. Today is called 123, and tomorrow it will be called 321 , also called 213 the day after tomorrow, the specific name cannot be determined at all. Even the local people themselves often don’t know which country they belong to now. Anyway, they have no time to call back and forth all day long. Our country’s intelligence network first At first, they would track their regime changes, but later found that the refresh rate could not keep up with their change speed, so even the intelligence agencies no longer bothered to pay attention. Now other countries in the world even print maps of that large area. It is marked as pending, with only village and road markings on it. National boundaries are never marked. Anyway, the map printed today may not be correct tomorrow. Except for electronic maps, no one can keep up with the speed at which they change the 'government'."

"Okay, I understand." Wiping the cold sweat on my head, I quickly turned to the Habu and said, "When did your front line be established?"

"Oh, it was last week." Habu replied firmly.

"What about before?"

"It seemed to be called the Arela Empire before."

Pfft... Shuangxue and the others on the side couldn't help laughing together, but I felt like I had asked a very stupid question.

"Okay, now skip the question of your nationality. Tell me how many people there are in your guild?"

When talking about the number of people in their guild, Habu immediately became excited. He said proudly: "Oh, our Dogege Alliance is a large guild. There were 1,687 people at the roll call last night. How about it? Isn't it an exaggeration?"

I nodded with dull eyes and said, "Well, it's quite exaggerated. It's just a fraction of our guild's profit."

The voice of the God of War suddenly came from the earphones. "Allow me to interject. Except for those countries with fixed political power in South America, there are almost no large guilds in the melee zone. With more than a thousand people in this Dogege alliance, it can be considered a local one. It's huge. But you'd better ask about the average number of people in their guild. I heard that the guilds here have a lot of turnover."

As soon as I heard this, I quickly asked: "Hab, what is the average number of people in your guild in the past month?"

When Habu heard this, he immediately said in a dilemma: "I haven't calculated this either, and the number of people in the meeting is always changing. I can't remember the number every day, so I can forget it if I want to!"

"Just make your own estimate. You don't have to be too precise."

"Well... most of the time, the number of people in our guild fluctuates between 1,100 and 1,500. The average number is about 1,300."

"Okay, more than a thousand will be fine." I felt a little relieved when I heard this number. I thought their guild didn't have a thousand people. This mining area is so big, even if there are elites from our guild to help them control the situation, it still won't work if the number of people is too small. "Can you make decisions on behalf of your guild?"

Upon hearing this, Habu immediately shook his head and said: "This won't work. Although I am also a high-level member of the guild, I must listen to the president and vice-president. I cannot make decisions for the guild. Of course, if it is a good thing that guarantees profit without loss, It’s okay even if I agree, anyway, they will definitely agree if there are good things going on.”

"What I'm about to say should be considered a good thing, but it must be discussed with your president."

"This is enough."

"You lead the way."

I took Habu and dug a new passage out of the cave below. I left the pioneers and rose vines here as landmarks so that I could find the cave when I came back later. Of course, the death guards and unicorn warriors in the cave also had to be there. Stay, the work of cleaning the cave is not completed, it is just that the existence of the veins can be confirmed temporarily, so they have to continue digging. As for combat missions, it’s not like I have all the Kirin Warriors and Death Guards here anyway, leaving some of them has no impact on me.

After leaving the cave, I asked Habu to point in the direction. Then I summoned the flying birds and my guardian spear. I gave the spear to Habu and asked him to take me to their guild to meet with their president.

It was probably Habu's first time riding a flying Warcraft, and this guy was quite unlucky. He skipped the previous transition and directly rode on a spear that uses jet mode to fly. This is like asking a person who has not adapted to the speed of civilian cars to ride in an F1 racing car. The final result can only be...

"Ugh...just...just...just the river just vomited..." Habu, who almost threw up his stomach, was finally pulled off the back of the spear by me. This kid is not only afraid of heights, but also airsick. As a result, he became a mud-like existence after speeding all the way here at subsonic speeds. Not only did his legs become weak, but he also vomited all over himself. If he hadn't needed guidance, I would have just done it. He kicked him off the spear directly.

"Tell me clearly, what was that river just now?"

Because he was already standing on the ground, Habu's condition was a little better. After taking a breath, he replied in a normal voice: "We flew over. We went upstream along the river just now and saw a big The waterfall is right at our guild headquarters.”

When I heard that it actually flew over my head, I quickly pulled Habu to jump on the bird, but this guy held on to a big tree and refused to let go. "No, I don't want to sit on that weird bird anymore. President Ziri, just let me go! If it doesn't work, you can just kill me, but don't let me sit on that one again!"

"Hey...you don't know how to enjoy it." Although I despised Habu's adaptability, looking at this kid's appearance, he is indeed not suitable for flying with a spear anymore, otherwise he would probably die before their guild could meet. . "How far is your guild from here?"

"Not far, not far." Habu was probably in a hurry right now, his intelligence increased exponentially. When he heard me ask about the distance, he immediately thought that I needed to change transportation, and he hurriedly beat his chest and swore a promise. Definitely not far. Seeing how pitiful he is, of course I have to... accommodate him? There are no doors. I am Ziri. What do Japanese players call me? The devil among devils. We are not angels delivering the gospel.

Snap, with a snap of my fingers, there was a loud sound of falling trees and branches in the forest, and then I saw a giant dragon flying into the sky with its wings flapping. If you zoom in closer, you can see that the dragon is holding a person in its front paws. If you listen carefully, you should be able to hear the screams that are masked by the huge wind. As for the origin of the cry - it wasn't me anyway.
