Chapter 41 Duan Ming's First Team Member

"Bug girl, turn on the exploration module and check if there are any signs of life nearby!"

Because of the appearance of the giant ice crystal beast, Duan Ming actually forgot the purpose of his visit this time!

Just as Duan Ming's voice fell, he was stunned and stared straight at the distance. A thousand meters away, there was a light spot flashing regularly. That was a special way of asking for help among the pioneers.

"Bug girl! Go check there!"

Two minutes later, the bug girl dragged a small lifeboat and returned to the back of the fire rock beast.

Looking through the lifeboat, it was Bai Xianglu's pretty face inside. It was obviously in a dormant state. It must be that when the danger came before, she took the lifeboat in time and escaped.

No wonder she expanded the range of coordinates. The lifeboat was affected by the gravity of various large stars in the universe and was erratic. Fortunately, it did not leave this area.

After roughly checking whether the lifeboat was damaged, Duan Ming controlled the interstellar computer and opened the lifeboat.

The nutrient water that sustains life flowed out of the cabin, and Bai Xianglu gradually regained consciousness.

When she opened her eyes and found Duan Ming beside her, she understood everything. She hugged Duan Ming with tears in her eyes and kept murmuring.

"I, I thought I would never see you again!"

This was almost a confession, which made Duan Ming tremble. He did not have any aversion to the beauty in front of him, but rather some admiration.

There were not many female students among the pioneers. This was because in the universe, due to the different body structures, men tend to be more adaptable. How much perseverance and courage a girl needs to be away from her hometown and family and become a part of the pioneers!

Duan Ming gently patted her back and comforted her in a warm voice.

"It's all over."

As Bai Xianglu's emotions gradually stabilized, she couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw the huge ice crystal beast not far away.

"That's it! It's this star beast that suddenly attacked my base!"

Duan Ming smiled and said, "Don't think about revenge. It's also my base now."

Bai Xianglu was stunned and asked subconsciously, "Can you control two star beast bases?"

The biological contract system is Duan Ming's most core secret. He will not reveal it unless it is someone he absolutely trusts.

"It's not that I can control it, but that the star beast under my feet has some special connection with it. They are like old friends who have met after a long time, so they reluctantly accepted me."

After finding Bai Xianglu, they naturally had to return to the previous mining area. Now that there is an ice crystal beast, the food needed has doubled. They can't let them starve, right?

On the way back, Duan Ming contacted Tang Yaqing.

"I sent you a list. Send the equipment on it as soon as possible."

Tang Yaqing opened the list and took a rough look.

"These are the basic facilities to maintain a development base. Don't you have them all?"

Now that Duan Ming has a second star beast base, he naturally wants to make full use of it. He listed all the facilities on the fire rock beast, including the temperature control system, mineral processing center, food production warehouse.

"I will tell you the specific reasons when you come."

Ten hours later, Duan Ming returned to the mining area. The fire rock beast and the ice crystal beast stopped on both sides of the ice crystal belt. The worker bees were divided into two teams to be responsible for the "feeding" of the two star beasts.

"Your development base no longer exists. When the Tang family's spacecraft arrives, you will return to the earth with them."

Hearing Duan Ming's proposal, Bai Xianglu reacted a little strongly.

"No! I won't go back!"

"According to the rules, if your development base is destroyed, you will lose the qualification to continue development. It is a blessing to be able to survive. Go back, your family must be looking forward to you."

Hearing the word "family", Bai Xianglu blurted out: "Even if I die in this universe, I will never go back so disgraced!"

Every family has its own problems, and Duan Ming vaguely guessed something.

"What else can you do if you don't go back? Without the development base, you can't even protect yourself."

Bai Xianglu lowered her head, as if thinking about something. After a long time, she raised her head and looked at Duan Ming with a smile.

"Your star beast base is getting bigger and bigger, and there must be more and more tedious things. Why don't I be your deputy? My grades in college are not bad, and I am good at weapon research. I can help you build the star beast base more defensive!"

Bai Xianglu's words really made Duan Ming a little excited. He was originally planning to recruit some team members, and it was time to build his own forces.

"It's not impossible to let you stay, but there are three conditions, I want to state them first."

Bai Xianglu blinked her big eyes and waited for Duan Ming to continue.

"First, in my Star Beast Base, my words are orders, and no one can disobey."

Bai Xianglu nodded.

"Second, I don't accept idlers or mediocre people. Everyone must have special skills in their respective fields. You agree with this."

"Third, I will never tolerate betrayal. To become my team member, I don't ask you to be loyal to me, but if one day, I find that you have betrayed me, I will definitely make you regret it."

Duan Ming said this with a very serious expression, which also gave people an impulse to surrender.

"Have you thought about it?"

Bai Xianglu smiled: "As long as you don't abandon me, I won't leave!"

After taking a deep breath, Duan Ming stretched out his right hand to Bai Xianglu, and the two shook hands.

"Welcome to become my team member."

...

Early in the morning of the second day, Duan Ming received a voice call from Tang Yaqing.

"The things are ready so quickly?"

There was silence on the other end of the call, and then Tang Yaqing's voice came.

"It will take a few days for the equipment you need. Do you have time this afternoon?"

Duan Ming was a little confused when he heard Tang Yaqing ask this.

"I have time, what's the matter?"

"My grandfather wants to see you in person."

The head of the Tang family, the superpower, wants to see him!

Duan Ming guessed that the other party must want to discuss the cooperation between the two sides in detail.

After thinking for a moment, Duan Ming replied: "No problem, but my Star Beast Base moves too slowly and cannot leave the Seventh Domain at will."

"I understand, I will accompany my grandfather to your place in the afternoon, you should be prepared in advance, my grandfather is not a good person to talk to."

After the voice call was hung up, Duan Ming looked at the buildings behind him, which were indeed a bit shabby.

The most important thing in the negotiation between the two sides is the bargaining chip. The stronger the strength you can show, the more you can take the initiative in the negotiation.

Half a day? I have to rearrange it!
