Chapter 497 Cooperation Begins

Hu Chan looked at Qin Siyang and hesitated several times.

After much hesitation, he finally spoke.

"Mr. Qin, didn't you say you would continue to hunt the gods?"

"That's right."

"Then why did you keep driving towards the safe zone?"

"If you are too far away from the safe zone, you will easily encounter danger. I just met the Nightmare Lantern Tree. Although I managed to survive and got a seed of unknown use, I still don't want to do it again."

Seeing that the number of kilometers away from the safe zone was getting smaller and smaller, Hu Chan asked: "Then how far away from the safe zone do you plan to look for the Blood Moon Wolf Spider and the Abyss Hound?"

"About twenty kilometers."

Having just passed by a large god, Qin Siyang felt guilty, so he made the most conservative decision in history.

Hu Chan touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Twenty kilometers away...it's too close to the safe zone, and I always feel that the resources are not rich enough."

Qin Siyang glanced at Hu Chan: "Not rich in resources? I found that after you survived the attack of the Nightmare Lantern Tree, you were really crazy. There are medium-sized gods twenty kilometers away, can you beat them? They are still unknown. If they are really right, who has the resources is uncertain!”

"Mr. Qin, that's what I said, but there's one thing I have to remind you."

"You tell me."

"There will be more and more Sequence ability users like us who are stuck at Sequence Level 5 and seek sacrifices at Sequence Level 6 as time goes by. The search range of gods outside the safe zone will also increase due to the increase in average strength. Come farther and farther.”

"You are right." Qin Siyang nodded, "But you must also know that the strength of sequence level five is not enough to act arbitrarily within a range of 20 kilometers outside the safe zone."

“What if there is an [insurer]?”

“As for an [insurer], it also depends on its strength.”

"What if we form a group and treat each other as [insurers], hunting the gods together to seek a breakthrough?"

After hearing this, Qin Siyang glanced at Hu Chan: "Are you planning to gather sacrifices in groups? Aren't you afraid that your sequence ability will be exposed?"

Hu Chan shook her head: "I am an orphan, and I am the supreme holy son of the Zeshi Religion. From the beginning to the end, only Protector Yu has been my [insurer]. But most people do not have such conditions as me."

"I have heard that outstanding students in universities will form teams to hunt for resources in search of breakthroughs."

"So, I think there is probably no cost-effective divine resource that can be found twenty or thirty kilometers away from the safe zone."

Qin Siyang frowned: "Why haven't I seen you say these things before? When we were hunting gods within a thirty-kilometer range on the weekend, you were so active that you jumped up and down, and you didn't talk to me about anything."

Hu Chan smiled: "I was just a wage earner before. It's enough that I can cope with things or let you see me working hard. Not only do I have to find ways to be lazy, but I also have to beware of your exploitation. Of course I won't take the initiative. Help. I did the blood injection on a whim during the weekend, so I didn’t think about it seriously for you.”

"What now?"

"Now?"

Hu Chan gave Qin Siyang a meaningful look.

"Now I think that you and I have been partners who have experienced life and death and shared secrets. It is a wise and correct choice to consider the interests of each other. Therefore, when it comes to the sacrifice resources for you to seek a breakthrough, I will also be more considerate of your situation. Think about it.”

"We will hunt gods together in the future, and you will see my sincerity and hard work."

Qin Siyang sighed: "The words of the Holy Son are really touching. But don't try to coax away the fragments of the inner leaves of the Titan thatch in my hand with a few sweet words."

"It doesn't matter. Cooperation is a long-term matter. I'm not in a hurry. As long as you can promise not to go back on your word when I desperately need the inner leaf fragments of Titan thatch."

Qin Siyang glanced at Hu Chan with slight surprise and found that the smile on Hu Chan's face was very confident.

He lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment before handing him the storage box containing the potion.

"As I promised before, I will give you one-third of the potion when I hunt down multiple rats and weasels. You can take your due share."

"Okay, thank you."

Qin Siyang's eyes were empty, silently thinking about Hu Chan's words.

In the end, he listened to Hu Chan's suggestion and decided to park the drill cabin fifty kilometers away from the safety zone.

On the way forward, we bumped into a huge piece of gold ore again.

Qin Siyang put the large piece of gold ore into the storage box with the attitude of throwing it away if he didn't pick it up when he went out.

As he continued to move forward, Hu Chan asked: "Mr. Qin, this gold and silver mine is not valuable. I see that you are always collecting it. Do you want to use the gold and silver mine to research the yellow and silver star mine?"

Qin Siyang nodded: "Your guess is quite accurate."

"It can't be a guess. The performance of the yellow and silver star ore is too good, and the structure of the yellow and silver star ore is 97% identical. Naturally, many people think that the yellow and silver star ore can be produced by relying on the yellow and silver ore. But from the beginning to the end, No one has reproduced the piece of gold and silver star mine in Professor Zhong Dingming’s hands.”

As he spoke, Hu Chan took out a piece of ore from his storage box.

Qin Siyang glanced at it. It was very similar to the gold and silver mine, but there were a little more stars on it.

"Is this the Yellow and Silver Star Mine?!"

"That's right."

"Why do you have it?"

"As the holy son of the Zeshi Religion, it is not strange for me to purchase a little gold and silver star mine from Professor Zhong Dingming on behalf of the Zeshi Religion."

Qin Siyang curled his lips: "I thought it was the yellow and silver star mine you discovered yourself."

Hu Chan sighed: "There are various rare materials in the safe zone now. Most of them are not available on the market. They look like unique materials. There may be several people who own them secretly."

"As for the Yellow Silver Star Mine, I can be sure that only Zhong Dingming owns it. The Yellow Silver Star Mine in the hands of others was traded from Zhong Dingming."

"So Mr. Qin, if you really want to understand how the Yellow Silver Mine became the Yellow Silver Star Mine, I think you should start with Zhong Dingming."

Qin Siyang was quite uncomfortable.

It's not that he didn't like Hu Chan's suggestion, but he felt that he was like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, telling him some information without reservation, which made him very unfamiliar.

Hu Shengzi was so sincere that he couldn't resist.

Qin Siyang suppressed his doubts and looked at the Yellow Silver Star Mine in Hu Chan's hand: "It is said that Zhong Dingming himself does not know the connection between the Yellow Silver Star Mine and the Yellow Silver Mine. What's the point of looking for him?"

"If you ask me, this is just an excuse for Zhong Dingming to avoid trouble."

"What do you mean?"

"After Zhong Dingming became a professor of top-level item research, his eldest son disappeared outside the safe zone."

"From the time he announced that he had obtained the Yellow Silver Star Mine to now, his second daughter and youngest son have also disappeared one after another."
