Chapter 367 Rare Cloud-Absorbing Stone
"Xiao Yansu, it seems that your aesthetic taste is very good."
Yansu smiled, "I'm sorry to make you laugh."
"Okay, time waits for no one, let's go in quickly." Mu Wan'er said.
Everyone had no objection and went to the first destination, which was the cloud-absorbing stone task that Hou Sheng took on. This task was actually very easy to complete except that it took some time. Of course, the reward was only 300 gold coins.
The cloud-absorbing stone vein is located in the southeast of Churchill Forest. The geology there is special, and no one knows how the special vein was formed.
The function of cloud-absorbing stone is also very simple. It is used by mecha constructors to construct mechas. After refining cloud-absorbing stone, it becomes part of the metal needed by mechas.
It is impossible to walk on two legs in the huge Churchill Forest. Mu Wan'er, Hou Sheng and Shen Jialu are mecha constructors, so they rely on exoskeleton mechas for low-altitude flight.
This kind of mecha is a more popular mecha on the market, and it does not need to enter the cockpit of a real behemoth to drive the mecha.
The size of the exoskeleton armor fits the human body, which is equivalent to a hard shell on the skin.
It is naturally much more convenient to move. Although the power is not as great as that of a real mecha, it is best to use an exoskeleton armor if you don't encounter a very critical situation.
However, although the exoskeleton armor is not as expensive as the mecha, it is not cheap either, especially the well-equipped exoskeleton armor, which can cost tens of millions.
So apart from Mu Wan'er and Hou Sheng, only Shen Jialu's exoskeleton armor was rented at the school.
The two beastmasters, Yan Su and Joel, use contract beasts for transportation.
What Yan Su didn't expect was that Joel's contract beast that looked like a pig and a hedgehog was actually a flying contract beast, not to mention that it really looked like that when it flew.
When Zhaocai was flying, a pair of looming white wings were very eye-catching, shining and colorful, and it was really beautiful.
No one expected that a tiger beast could be so beautiful.
Joel glanced at it and disdained it in his heart.
It's just good-looking but useless. Women like these fancy things.
It took an hour for everyone to arrive at the cloud-absorbing stone vein. At the entrance of the vein, a planetary-level strongman set up a tent and sat there, lying on the chaise longue, feeling very comfortable.
Mu Wan'er whispered to Yan Su: "After these veins were discovered, they soon became private, but these cloud-absorbing stone veins are not completely private. Some are open, but everyone who wants to enter the veins for mining must pay the ticket fee, usually for one day, depending on how much cloud-absorbing stone can be mined after entering."
After Mu Wan'er explained this, Yan Su instantly understood why there were planetary-level strongmen guarding here.
The five people walked up to the planetary-level strongman, and Hou Sheng immediately scanned 100 gold coins, which was 20 gold coins per person.
The ticket price was not expensive, because the cloud-absorbing stone vein was really ordinary compared to other veins.
The planetary-level strongman didn't even open his eyes, but just waved his hand, as if to say that they could go in.
Hou Sheng walked in front and led the other four people to go in quickly.
After entering, it was connected in all directions, dark and humid, and the air became sticky.
Hou Sheng: "Let's go here to mine the cloud-absorbing stones separately. As long as the most common cloud-absorbing stones are available, please come out and gather again in five hours."
The cloud-absorbing stones outside have been mined out long ago. If you want to get the cloud-absorbing stones, you must go deep into the veins, but the passages are relatively narrow and cramped, and cannot accommodate five people to mine together, so you must work separately at this time.
And the efficiency of working separately is much higher.
As soon as Hou Sheng said this, no one else had any objection. Before Yan Su left, Mu Wan'er handed the little fat dragon in her arms to her, "Although there is no danger in this mine, there will occasionally be one or two annoying flies, and your tiger beast can't get in, so let it protect you."
To be honest, Mu Wan'er was reluctant to part with the little fat dragon. This little guy is well-behaved and cute, and he can act coquettishly and softly. Who doesn't love him?
Jinbao also reluctantly left Mu Wan'er's arms, as if it was the other party's contracted beast. Yan Su flicked its head in annoyance, "Everyone is gone, don't look."
Jinbao heard this and immediately rubbed Yan Su's fingertips with his dragon horn, [Jinbao loves his mother the most~]
Yan Su: "………" No, you love the person who feeds you the most.
After all, it is a contracted beast raised by herself, so she didn't bother with this little thing.
After letting it stay on her shoulder, Yan Su randomly chose a route to go down.
She held the special mining tool given to her by Hou Sheng, which was a silver hammer. It was very light, but very hard, enough to dig out the cloud-absorbing stone after breaking the rock.
But after walking forward for 20 minutes, Yan Su didn't find anything new, and didn't even see a piece of cloud-absorbing stone, let alone digging.
All she saw were bumpy walls, and there were no stones.
Yan Su was silent for a while, wondering if mental power was useful?
The next second, she released her mental power, spreading out from herself. She could see the places she couldn't see before. It felt so good.
It worked!
Yan Su was delighted and hurried forward. After a few minutes, she saw the first cloud-absorbing stone.
She started digging without saying anything.
[Mom, there is something Jinbao likes in front! Like it!! ]
Yan Su had just dug up a palm-sized cloud-absorbing stone and put it in his pocket when he heard Jin Bao's voice that he couldn't hold back.
He looked very impatient.
Yan Su held it down, "What do you want to do?"
Jin Bao shook his tail exaggeratedly, "It's beautiful! Jin Bao likes it!"
Yan Su knew that dragon beasts always liked shiny things, and even treasured them.
And they are also good at finding these things...
Yan Su's eyes flashed, and the introduction of cloud-absorbing stone emerged in his mind.
Cloud-absorbing stone also has different levels, divided into ordinary, precious and rare.
Ordinary cloud-absorbing stone is not worth much. After it is melted and specially treated, it is equivalent to the bonding agent between mecha parts. In layman's terms, it is the bone marrow at the joint of human bones.
However, there are too many impurities between ordinary cloud-absorbing stones, and a lot of cloud-absorbing stones are needed to be refined, and then they can become the bonding agent between mecha parts after special treatment.
Equivalent to ordinary cloud-absorbing stone, precious cloud-absorbing stone naturally has a higher grade.
It is said that ordinary cloud-absorbing stones are not valuable, and they are still priced by kilogram. Then the precious cloud-absorbing stones are slightly more valuable, and they are priced by number and size.
It is probably a fluctuation between a few hundred gold coins.
As for the rare cloud-absorbing stones...
