Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 521 Don’t let waiting become a regret

"what!?"

Aurora was so frightened that she let out a sharp scream and shrank onto the sofa.

"You...why are you asking this suddenly? What are you going to do?!"

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

"Well, I've been free for a while. People from small cities haven't seen the world, so I want to go to the capital for a walk. I'll bring a couple of cartons of milk and fruit and come over to see you."

"I...you..."

Perhaps because this reason was too logical, Aurora, unable to refute it, hesitated for a while.

"Oh, oh, you better get out of here! I'm... I'm busy here... You, you can't help it, haha, are you ready to attack your brother?"

Unfortunately, when he opened his mouth he was still talking incoherently, until he laughed awkwardly twice and started saying strange things, then he finally resumed his normal speech rhythm.

"I'm telling you, you can't do that! I'm definitely not afraid of being kicked! But in real life, I'm just a bunch of rotten bones. Humph, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that the pain will make you shrink!"

Although the logic was strange and the threat was hard to sustain, at least she believed that she had obtained some magical weapon, and her last sentence sounded justified.

Then, Ji Ming, who was waiting for the opportunity, broke through his defense with a sentence: "But didn't you just say that the situation is stable and improving? You even told me happily that you had gained several pounds before."

Hush! Don't talk, turn the world to silence, and listen to the sound of "anti" breaking.

……

Although given Aurora's personality, he would definitely like to save some face.

But unfortunately, once you lose an argument, you lose. Her gritted teeth and silence say it all.

Even if they can still muster the courage to speak, they can only say weird words like "If you let me stick out my butt, I'll let you come!" and "If you wear the same JK as me, I'll forgive you!" as the loser's wail.

But many problems in this world don’t actually require answers, or perhaps her reaction itself is an answer.

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

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

"Get out! Get out!"

"Hey, you...you're just going to chase your buddy away, right?"

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

But this is a dormitory building, not a wealthy mansion. No matter how quiet the corridor is, there will still be people passing by occasionally.

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

"Someone's here! Hello, someone's here..."

Ji Ming still had some dignity left, and seeing that Aurora had no intention of stopping, he got so anxious that he even said something.

"No, why are you so impatient, buddy? Don't you have any broad-mindedness?"

What he got in return was a loud roar from Aurora.

"no!"

Then I could only stare blankly at the big iron gate in front of me.

……

"You! You poor fellow who can't even hold back your saliva and has to use a urine bag (whispering)..."

Ji Ming blushed and was about to leave, but suddenly realized that it was not possible! He hurried back and knocked on the door.

"Hey, Aurora, stop it! I still have something to tell you. It's a big deal!"

……

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

"Oh my god, brother! She is me... Even if you two are about the same age, you still have to be aware of being an elder! You can't turn your back on someone!"

It turned out that his advice was useful, because although there was still no response behind the door, Ji Ming still received the message.

[She went to the Magic Crystal Mine in the north. You can just use your identity as the Chosen One of God to show off and say that you are here to look for someone.]

A few more seconds passed.

[Get lost! You bastard, your dad doesn't want to see you today! ]

Okay, since this kid thinks he still has tomorrow, it would be a miracle if he could give himself a sunny doll.

Ji Ming sighed, and a thought gradually arose 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.

Whatever! No matter how low the possibility is, I have to give it a try. Once I’m done with this, I’ll go ask Mother Earth!

After making up his mind, he decided to leave. However, when he turned around, he saw several heads sticking out from the stairs like the nine-headed insect.

Embarrassing.jpg
Ji Ming's only purpose in maintaining his dignity was to make it thicker, so he actually just put on that warm smile.

He strode over and extended his hand.

"Hello, I am the special intelligence agent hired by the Foreign Affairs Bureau, Crooked Tree. I came here to learn about the relevant situation. I'm sorry if I didn't disturb your rest."

"Hey, no, no, no..."

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

"Oh, so you are the crooked tree. We have heard a lot of your stories."

"Dude, you're the Chinese version of James Bond!"

"Fuck, I never thought I'd get to meet him in person one day. I'm so lucky!"

Ji Ming exchanged pleasantries with them for a moment, then took the pen, left a few signatures, and left, heading 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 Bureau of Foreign Affairs arranged its headquarters in this area was actually because it took a fancy to the various extremely rich mineral resources nearby, including iron ore and coal.

As long as roads are connected, a heavy industry network can be easily constructed to realize the creative ideas of the R&D department, conduct 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 to 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. They are a special mineral in the magical world.

It has the powerful property of storing magic power and outputting it stably. It can replace the mage to provide energy for the magic imprinting group, so it has the reputation of "the cornerstone of magic".

And because it has strong compatibility and can harmonize multiple medicinal properties or alleviate alchemical reactions that would otherwise be very intense, it also has a very high status in the field of alchemy.

It sounds like a perfect precursor to the magic industrial era. It seems that all it needs is a powerful time traveler to lead the Yangyue world into the next era.

but!

There were 147 saviors summoned by the boss alone. How could there be no smart people like this?

As for the reason for her failure, it was because this magic crystal was not rare and could be found in almost any mineral vein, just like the coal in "Minecraft".

However, these inferior magic crystals are quite complex. Even if they do not affect the output, the magic storage capacity is too low and they can only be used in civilian fields such as lamps and door locks.

It has more areas of application and better magic storage effect, and can be called the high-purity magic crystal of Yangyue battery...

There is no need to guess, it must be extremely difficult to mine, the ore reserves are very small, and it is a rare mineral comparable to refined gold and secret silver.

Especially those buried underground in the civilized world's kingdom, they have been dug up hysterically in the past ten thousand years, so if you want to get new ones, you must go to the border of civilization.

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 bizarre culture similar to gambling on stones on Earth has been spawned.

and so……

Therefore, 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 slowed down to an unknown extent.

For the same reason, Ji Ming received a light warning from the player before he even arrived above the mine.

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

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

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

"Good boy, it's all hidden but it's still okay."

It’s not the players’ fault for reacting so strongly. It’s mainly because White Eagle had just been attacked by enemies from the sky in the morning. It’s not even night yet, and they’ve also encountered an attack?
Harsh, so cool!
But the good news is that although he was also riding a Pegasus and was also an inexplicable uninvited guest, this time the visitor did not launch an attack in silence, but took the initiative to express his intention to communicate.

That's it in a nutshell.

"Hello, pioneers. I am Kimien, the Chosen of the Holy Light. 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.

I was still shaking off the ice on my body when I heard this extremely bizarre request.

"Ah this."

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

"Well... it's not that I don't believe you, but you said you were chosen by the 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 just like having a full body SPA. It can prolong life and is as comfortable as it can be.

But although the Cold Iron Godhead had changed its master, it was still an evil god in essence, so [Bagua Youshen] immediately felt uncomfortable all over his body.

Ouch, wait, what am I doing... Hey? Are my elbows so soft? Damn, don't...

"Alright, Mr. Chosen One! We believe you, please put away your magical powers!"

By the time he had adjusted his body, which had melted to the point of having a crooked mouth and squinting eyes, he had already brought Ji Ming to a building on the ground.

Since he is an important NPC who has been active since the closed beta test, the Chosen One of Light, and has come in person, the players naturally gave Kimiein considerable courtesy.

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

Ji Ming was very annoyed by such occasions, but his current alias was chosen by God, so he could only say some polite words symbolically.

Finally, Kimiein, the Chosen One of Holy Light, presented the Yangyue Foreign Affairs Bureau with a box of Spirit Gathering Liquid, and the Foreign Affairs Bureau presented Kimiein with a set of tea sets.

Of course, this tea set is no ordinary tea set. It is carefully made by a famous master using purple clay mixed with magic crystal chips.

The tea brewed with it has the amazing effects of clearing the lungs and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain, moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements... as well as adding a cool touch.

...Okay, my potion isn't "valuable" anyway, so I'll just treat it as a collectible.

After putting away the tea set, Ji Ming had already planned to find an excuse to leave and settle accounts with Adele, the unfilial daughter.

But the receptionist said that they had just received special permission from the director to allow Mr. Shenxuan to visit the mining area.

Now Ji Ming became excited - No way, Lao Zhao, you value me so much?
This face had to be given, so Ji Ming walked around the magic crystal mine and even took a mine cart to take a look inside.

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

--Misunderstand.

Because of common interests, the large force that has a relatively good relationship with players is the Church of Holy Light, second only to the Duke of Jueqiao.

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

Under such circumstances, further development of bilateral relations seems to be only a matter of time.

But Pope Holy Light is a cautious man. 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 trouble.

After all, "royal power and religious power do not interfere with each other" is an iron rule that has been passed down since the first generation. It is the premise for the friendly coexistence of the Holy Mountain and the Royal Capital, and it can even be said to be the foundation of the Kingdom of Glorious Light.

Therefore, there has always been a pattern of coldness at the top and hotness at the bottom between the church and the pioneers. The grassroots workers are so good to each other that they wish they were in the same boat, but the senior managers have never made any substantial progress.

But now, God's Chosen One has arrived.

Does all this mean a thaw in bilateral relations? Does it mean...

Ji Ming: Damn it, stop!
No matter how much he planned, he could not have anticipated such a small inconvenience. He could only play dumb and not respond to the probing of the two senior officials in the bureau.

"This……"

Now the old men were at a loss as to what to do. They looked at each other, totally confused as to what was going on.
