Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Qu Jianlei built such a grotto obviously because he didn't want the other party to find out how he cultivated.

But the other party didn't mean to snoop, let alone worry that he would mine minerals privately.

There is only such a big starship in total, even if it is mined privately, how much ore can be mined?
It took Qu Jianlei three days to completely build the shipyard, and set up monitoring and security equipment around it.

The mine promised him information sharing, but how could he give up his autonomy?At critical moments, you are still the most reliable.

Then he practiced for another five days, and after he adjusted his situation thoroughly, he drove an attack ship out of the shipyard.

It is definitely not advisable to practice blindly. It just so happens that the Purcell Consortium is also a big force, so it should be possible to get some news, right?

Qu Jianlei first drove the attack ship to inspect the surrounding area, and then parked the ship outside the living area.

The living area is built against the mountain, somewhat similar to Lanxing's cave dwelling.

He chose the office area and expressed that he wanted to know the situation.

The other party received him warmly, led by a metallic B-rank fighter named Dark.

Qu Jianlei didn't act too cold this time, but he didn't talk much, mainly asking various questions.

Dak didn't hide the relevant news, after all, he was his own guard, so it was necessary to communicate more.

This mine is being mined by "Wanmi Mining Industry", and the main mineral is platinum.

Platinum plays an important role in the industrial system of the empire, and its demand is also great.

The Purcell Consortium is not a sole proprietorship, but the major shareholder of Wanmi Mining, and some other forces participate in the shares.

Originally, a certain force sent people to garrison here, but this shareholder has encountered some troubles and withdrew the garrison force.

The Purcell Consortium feels that it is not very convenient for the shareholders to send their forces—mainly because there are still some problems in mutual trust.

Dak doesn't hide this, because this kind of thing is common, especially in the mines of precious metal mines.

They are in charge of mining, and they don't want to get involved in this kind of thing, and their human nature can't stand the test.

So Purcell consortium simply looking for outsourcing team, in order to spend this time.

Hearing this, Qu Jianlei couldn't help asking, "How do you define this period of time? Did something happen?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted a little, maybe it was his own fault.

Sure enough, including the shareholder's incident, it was all because of the great loss of the star thief's power, which caused a short-term chaos.

Qu Jianlei only knows how to practice and modify in a place where no one is around, and occasionally goes to the Lanyun Market, and rarely communicates with others.

So he really didn't know that the asteroid belt was much more chaotic than before.

Dak's ignorance of him is not very strange. It is said that this force is relatively closed and does not have much contact with outsiders.

In fact, for Wanmi Mining, this is one of the important reasons why they chose to invite Qu Jianlei to guard the mine.

Dake and the others also welcome such people. It is the most troublesome to meet those forces who covet platinum mines.

It's just that the other party is not generally closed. After coming, they first build their own residence, which makes them a little bit dumbfounded.

It is precisely because of this that he is so enthusiastic about Qu Jianlei, otherwise he has to keep a distance.

Qu Jianlei couldn't laugh or cry when he heard that, "After two years, are you guaranteed to be fine?"

"The turmoil always has a head," Duck replied casually, "It will only take a year or two, and the old will not come back, and the new will be born."

This is indeed in line with Qu Jianlei's cognition, the gray area cannot be forever empty.

Then he asked whether what he needed to beware of came from space or the two mines around him.

Duck said very frankly that in this kind of location, anything could exist.

The first communication ended like this. After Qu Jianlei knew the whole story, he was not in a hurry to get close to the other party.

In the following time, he came out to inspect every ten days or so, and then chatted with the other party for a while.

In fact, there is no need for him to conduct special inspections. All kinds of monitoring in the mine are complete, and can be observed from the ground to the sky.

But now that he has taken on such a job, he feels that it is still necessary to show his existence occasionally, so as to show his dedication.

The second time, he met the person in charge of the mine, a middle-aged man named Li Ang, with a water attribute of A-level.

Li Ang felt a little alienated from him, but Qu Jianlei could also understand that keeping a distance would not test humanity.

In a blink of an eye, three months passed.

Every time Qu Jianlei came out, he couldn't chat with the other party for long, and even declined several banquets.

He is not very interested in meeting outsiders, and even thinking of drinking at the banquet, he can't even arouse his interest.

How is it the highest, where is it that others can casually cling to?A simple working relationship is fine.

His attitude won Li Ang's trust instead. Pretending to do this kind of thing would not stand the test of time.

Therefore, everyone in the mine is interested in answering his questions, even if some of the information is somewhat secretive.

On this day, Qu Jianlei was practicing in the shipyard when an alarm sounded suddenly.

He turned on the monitor and found that Li Ang was standing outside the shipyard, beating an alarm, looking a little anxious.

He released his perception and got some gains, and then took out the mobile phone to take a look, and it turned out that it was out of battery.

He opened the small door of the shipyard and walked out, asking indifferently, "What's going on?"

Not only is it cold here, but the air is also thin, but A-level awakeners can still stay for a short time.

"There are intruders," Li Ang said anxiously, "Can your force hold back a supreme being?"

Qu Jianlei sighed faintly, "This is really disturbing... Tell me in detail."

"Someone is here to collect the protection fee," Li Ang replied in a deep voice, "There are three armed merchant ships parked above Godley."

The people who came did not land, but passed on the information in the air.

Ordinarily, Wanmi Mining does not reject paying protection fees, but this time, the asking price was a bit harsh.

In addition to the protection fee, they have to purchase [-]% of the platinum production at half price.

At the same time, the supreme coercion was released on the starship, showing that we are supreme.

This means that the opponent has the strength of both air combat and ground combat.

It is said that [-]% of the output is not too much, but Qu Jianlei found out a few days ago that the platinum mine output of Wanmi Mining accounted for [-]% of the output of the surrounding star field.

Eighty percent of them have a solid monopoly position, so the loss is not just a matter of money.

Qu Jianlei was a little surprised, "How dare they ignore the Purcell Consortium?"

Saier is not just one or two supremes, but can pull out one or two supremes to participate in the battle at any time.

With a bitter face, Li Ang said in embarrassment, "We have reported to the consortium, but the shareholding system...is not a holding company yet."

In addition to not being a holding company, the Purcell consortium also has some considerations, such as the issue of maintenance.

It's not difficult for the consortium to send a few supreme leaders here, but the difficulty lies in solving the current crisis, what should we do in the future?
The above believes that if the opponent dares to speak like this, regardless of strength, there is likely to be an act of avoiding the war.

The star of Godelli is fixed, at least it has a stable trajectory, but the forces that collect protection fees are alive.

Wanmi Mining has to mine on the star body, and the other party can come and leave whenever they want.

It is impossible for the supreme being sent by the consortium to stay in Godely all the time.

This kind of place where the birds don't poop—wrong, a place where there are no birds, no matter how many homes there are, it won't be such a waste.

As mentioned earlier, such things as guerrilla warfare are really common in the empire.

This is also the reason why big forces are willing to pay protection fees. They are all wearing shoes, and it is enough to spend a little money to get rid of bare feet.

As for a few high-level camps... This can be done, but what is the cost?
To repeat, the Purcell consortium does not hold Wanmi Mining, it is only a major shareholder!
So the reaction of the consortium is: Isn't our guardianship outsourced? Can the other party hold a Supreme?
"Hold on..." Qu Jianlei pondered for a while and asked, "Can you kill three warships if we hold on to one Supreme?"

Li Ang replied simply, "No, but they have made similar demands on other mines, and we can join forces."

The other two mines are not against Wanmi Mining, but under the current circumstances, it is normal to join forces.

Qu Jianlei thought for a while and then asked, "Is it possible that one of those two families is playing tricks?"

"Hey," Li Ang smiled wryly, "It's very likely that these powerful forces often do dirty things."

Qu Jianlei was dumbfounded when he heard that, didn't you even scold the Purcell Consortium?
But then, he realized something, "That's the way those two families see Wanmi, right?"

Li Ang could only continue to smile wryly, "That's right, no one can give up resistance, even if it's a fake fight."

Qu Jianlei shook his head when he heard this, if not to say that people can't help themselves in the Jianghu, even the big powers sometimes have to.

But this is good news, at least those two families can't hold back in the process of fighting.

So this battle can really be fought, what needs to be considered is just what kind of strength to show.

However, he still has one last question, "Can a [-]% output really affect the pattern?"

The Purcell consortium has indeed formed a de facto monopoly, but Godely is only one of the consortium's many platinum mines.

Li Ang was clearly prepared, and the answer came as soon as he opened his mouth, "They don't need to affect the whole situation."

"It's normal to hoard these mines, as long as something bad happens at a critical moment!"

"Besides, since [-]% has already been obtained, who can be sure that there will be no next [-]%?"

Do blunt knives cut flesh?Qu Jianlei frowned, feeling that there was something wrong with this rhetoric.

"If the next [-]% really happens, can the Purcell consortium still bear it?"

Li Ang shook his head with a troubled expression on his face.

"I don't dare to talk nonsense about this, but Purcell's meaning is very clear. Since the guards are outsourced, why not try it first?"

Qu Jianlei murmured and said, "In the previous agreement, there was no such thing as the Supreme War, and there were no relevant clauses."

"If we hold someone back, or even win... what is the reward?"
