Chapter 521 Don’t Let Waiting Become a Regret

"Ah!?"

Aurora was frightened and screamed quickly, shrinking on the sofa.

"You... why do you suddenly ask this, what are you going to do!"

Ji Ming was of course not frightened by her exaggerated reaction, but smiled slightly.

"Oh, haven't I been free for a while recently? People from small cities have never seen the world. I want to go to the capital for a walk. By the way, I want to pick up two boxes of milk and fruits and go to see you."

"I... you..."

Perhaps because this reason is too smooth, Aurora, who was unable to refute, hesitated for a long time.

"Oh, oh, you can go away! I'm... I'm busy here... You, you can't help it, hehe, are you ready to attack your brother?"

Unfortunately, he still spoke incoherently and rolled around, until he laughed awkwardly and started to say weird things, and finally recovered his normal language rhythm.

"I'm telling you, you can't do that! I'm definitely not afraid of being poked! But in reality, I'm just a bunch of rotten bones, hum, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that I'll hurt you so much that you'll shrink!"

Although the logic is strange and the threat is hard to maintain, at least she believes that she has got some magic weapon, and the last sentence is justified.

Then, Ji Ming, who was waiting for the opportunity, said, "But didn't you just say that it was stable and improving? You also told me happily that you gained several pounds before." The defense was accurately broken.

Hush! Don't talk, turn the world to silent, and listen to the sound of "defense" being broken.

...

Although with Aurora's personality, she must really hope to save some face for herself.

But unfortunately, if you lose a verbal battle, you lose, and her gnashing silence has already said it all.

Even if she can still pick up the courage to speak, she can only say weird words like "If you let me poked, I'll let you do it!" and "If you wear the same JK, I'll forgive you!" as the loser's whine.

But many questions in this world don't need answers at all, or her reaction itself is an answer.

Ji Ming didn't point it out, but sighed, stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder.

"Child, don't let waiting become a regret."

"Go away! Go away!"

"Hey, you... you're just going to drive me away like this, right?"

The result was an unhappy parting, and Ji Ming was driven out of the room by Ji Guang.

But this is a dormitory building, not a single-family mansion of a rich man. No matter how quiet the corridor is, there will still be people passing by occasionally.

For example, now there are two young people huddled at the stairs and looking over here curiously, wondering why Team Leader Bai is arguing with a man at the door of his house.

"Someone! Hey, someone..."

Ji Ming still has some dignity, and seeing that Ji Guang has no intention of stopping, he was so anxious that he even said something.

"No, why are you still angry, brother! Don't you have a broad mind?"

In return, Ji Guang yelled.

"No!"

Then he could only stare at the big iron door in front of him in a daze.

...

"You! You poor fellow who can't hold back the saliva and has to hold a urine bag (whisper)..."

Ji Ming blushed for a rare time and was about to walk away, but suddenly realized that it was not possible! He hurried back to knock on the door.

"Hey, Aurora, don't do this! I still have something to tell you, a big thing!"

...

"Well, give me the address of that person, as long as you give it to me, I will leave immediately!"

"Damn, brother! She is me... Even if you are about the same age, you have to have the consciousness of being an elder! You can't turn your face and disown people!"

Facts have proved that his advice is still useful, because although there is still no response behind the door, Ji Ming still received the message.

[She went to the vicinity of the magic crystal mine in the north, you can show off your identity as the chosen one of God, and say that you are here to find someone]

A few seconds passed.

[Get out! Turtle grandson, your father doesn't want to see you today! 】

Okay, since this kid thinks he still has tomorrow, it would be a miracle if he gives him a sunny doll.

Ji Ming sighed, and a thought gradually rose in his slightly bitter heart...

But this matter involves reality. The earth is a technological world, and the possibility of achieving such a miracle is too low.

Well! No matter how low the possibility is, I have to give it a try. After this matter is done, I will ask Mother Earth!

After thinking it over, he decided to leave here, but when he turned his head, he saw that there were already several heads sticking out of the stairs like the nine-headed insect.

Embarrassing.jpg

Ji Ming's only purpose of having a face is to make it thicker, so he actually changed back to that warm smile.

He walked over with big strides and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, I'm the special intelligence agent hired by the Foreign Affairs Bureau [Crooked Neck Tree]. I'm here to learn about some relevant information. Sorry, I didn't disturb your rest."

"Hehe, no, no, no..."

After all, he is a legendary intelligence agent who has provided a lot of high-value information to the organization. Everyone still gave him face and gathered around him.

"Oh, so you are Crooked Neck Tree. We have heard a lot of your stories."

"Dude, you are simply the Chinese version of James Bond!"

"Fuck, I didn't expect to meet him one day. I'm so lucky!"

Ji Ming was polite to them for a while, took the pen and left a few signatures, then left here and headed towards the mine in the north.

Friends who have played brain-burning simulation management games such as "Cities Skylines" and "Dyson Sphere Program" know that "location" is a very important thing.

Therefore, the reason why the Foreign Affairs Bureau arranged its headquarters in this area is actually because of the various and extremely rich mineral resources nearby, including iron ore and coal.

As long as the roads are connected, it is easy to build a heavy industry network to realize the R&D department's ideas, experiments, and even complete the final mass production.

But the Yangyue world is different from the earth after all, so when professionals followed the veins all the way north, wanting to find more high-quality outputs and fill the gaps in the industrial chain, they unexpectedly discovered a whole vein of magic crystals here.     Magic crystals are usually a kind of transparent hard crystal, but they may also present rich and diverse colors due to being stained with various magic powers. It is a specialty mineral in the magical world.

It has the powerful characteristics of storing magic power and outputting it stably. It can replace the mage to power the magic engraving group, so it has the reputation of "magic cornerstone".

And because it has strong compatibility, it can reconcile multiple medicinal properties or ease the alchemical reaction that should have been very intense, so it also has a very high status in the alchemy next door.

It sounds like a perfect precursor to the magic industrial era. It seems that only a powerful traverser is needed to lead the Yangyue world to the next era.

But!

There are 147 saviors summoned by the boss alone. How could there be no such smart people?

As for the reason for her failure, it is because this magic crystal is not rare, and almost any mineral vein can be associated with it, just like the coal in "Minecraft".

But these inferior magic crystals are quite mixed. Even if they do not affect the output, the magic storage capacity is too low, and they can only play a role in civilian fields such as lamps and door locks.

And the magic crystals with more fields of action and better magic storage effect can be called high-purity magic crystals for Yangyue batteries...

No need to guess, it must be a rare mineral with extremely high mining difficulty and very few mineral veins, comparable to refined gold and secret silver.

Especially those buried underground in the civilized world kingdom, which have been dug up hysterically in the past ten thousand years, so if you want to get new ones, you must go to the civilized wilderness.

Therefore, while the price of low-purity magic crystals is extremely stable and cheap, the price of high-purity magic crystals has been rising all the way, and a strange culture similar to gambling on stones on Earth has also emerged.

So...

So this magic crystal vein that the players accidentally discovered is really powerful!

If it weren't for this thing, not to mention the bottleneck, the research progress in related fields would be dragged down by who knows how much.

For the same reason, this time Ji Ming received a light warning from the players before he even came to the sky above the vein.

And before he could react, a crystal clear water drop flew over like a meteor.

No need to guess, this is the top player [Bagua Youshen] who shined in the battle of Luoshen Mountain and fought with the Falcon Demon King in the air for a long time. He has the Cold Iron Godhead.

At the same time as He appeared, a large number of anti-aircraft weapons and tanks appeared on the surface of the mine like magic, including two magic armors equipped with Gatling guns.

"Good guy, it's okay to hide them all."

It's not surprising that the players reacted so strongly, mainly because the White Eagle had just been attacked by enemies from the sky in the morning, and it wasn't even night yet, and they also encountered it?

Ha, too ha!

But the good news is that although he also rode a Pegasus and was also an inexplicable uninvited guest, this time the visitor did not attack silently, but took the initiative to express his intention to communicate.

In short, it is.

"Hello, pioneers, I am the Chosen of Holy Light, Kimien, and I am here to pay you a friendly visit."

At this time, [Bagua Youshen] had just completed the transformation from "celestial body" to "human form" like a Transformer.

While still shaking off the ice on his body, he heard this extremely strange request.

"Ah, this."

He was a military commander, how could he answer? He could only quickly contact his superiors on the ground to see what the old men thought.

"Well... that's not that I don't believe you, but you said you are the Chosen of Holy Light, do you have any proof?"

"Of course."

The other party seemed to have guessed that his identity would be suspected, so while he skillfully put on the fluorescent light ring, a strong holy light emanated from his body.

For ordinary people, being illuminated by this thing is like having a full body SPA, which can prolong life and be as comfortable as possible.

But although this cold iron godhead has changed its owner, it is still essentially an evil god, so [Bagua Youshen] immediately felt uncomfortable all over his body.

Ouch, wait, what am I doing... Hey? Are my elbows so soft? Damn, stop...

"Okay, Mr. Chosen! We believe you, please retract your magic!"

After he adjusted his body that had melted to a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, he had brought Ji Ming to a building on the ground.

Since he was an important NPC + Chosen of Holy Light + who had been active since the closed beta test + came in person, the players naturally gave Ji Miyin a very high courtesy.

Although Lao Zhao could not come due to his busy schedule, there were still two senior leaders in the bureau responsible for the reception.

Ji Ming was very annoyed by such occasions, but his current vest was God's Choice, so he could only say some polite words symbolically.

In the end, the Holy Light God's Choice, Ji Miyin, presented the Yangyue Foreign Affairs Bureau with a box of spirit-gathering liquid, and the Foreign Affairs Bureau presented Ji Miyin with a set of tea sets.

Of course, this tea set is not an ordinary tea set, but a tea set carefully made by a master, using purple clay mixed with magic crystal chips.

The tea brewed with it has the terrible effects of clearing the lungs and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain, moistening the intestines and relieving constipation... and adding a touch of coolness.

...Okay, anyway, my potion is not "valuable", so I'll just treat it as a collection.

After putting away the tea set, Ji Ming had already planned to find a reason to leave and go to Adele, the unfilial disciple, to settle accounts severely.

But the receptionist said that he had just received special permission from the director to allow Mr. God's Choice to visit the mining area.

Now Ji Ming was in high spirits - no way, Lao Zhao, do you think so highly of me?

This face must be given, so Ji Ming walked around the magic crystal mine and took a look inside in a mine cart.

However, there is no good without reason in this world, and he gradually figured out why the Foreign Affairs Bureau did this.

——Misunderstanding.

Because of common interests, the second largest force with a good relationship with players is the Holy Light Church, in addition to the Duke of Jueqiao.

Especially in recent times, one is responsible for restoring production, and the other is responsible for restoring faith. They are almost developing a tacit understanding in the southern part of the kingdom.

Under such circumstances, it seems that it is only a matter of time before bilateral relations go further.

But the Holy Light Pope is a cautious person. Although he certainly supports the recovery of the southern diocese, he is also worried that if he cooperates deeply with the pioneers, there will be some trouble.

After all, "no interference between royal power and religious power" is an iron rule that has been passed down since the first generation. It is the premise for the friendly relationship between the Holy Mountain and the capital, and it can even be said to be the foundation of the Kingdom of Glory.

Therefore, the church and the pioneers have always maintained a cold-on-top and hot-on-bottom pattern. Grassroots workers are so close that they wish they were wearing the same pants, but senior managers have never made any substantial progress.

But now, God's Chosen One has come.

Does all this mean that the ice in bilateral relations has been broken? Does it mean...

Ji Ming: Damn it, don't!

He could never have expected such a small awkwardness, so he could only play dumb and not respond to the temptations of the two senior officials in the bureau.

"This..."

The old men were at a loss now. They looked at each other, completely confused about the current situation.
