Virus Throne

The huge Turant City accommodates tens of millions of people, but unfortunately, the land here is too expensive to accommodate everyone.

The rich live in the city, while the poor natives can only live scattered outside the city.

They rely on working in the mines to make a living, but they also endure the invasion of mutant beasts all the time.

The city lord is also happy to see that there are people living outside the city to resist mutant beasts for him, so a huge slum surrounding the city of Turant has been formed.

The rich mineral resources have attracted adventurers and prospectors from all over the world. They adventure between the mountains and ridges, not only to fight against mutant beasts, but also to fight against the same adventurers.

Exploration and mining, around the rich mineral resources, have derived countless industries.

Exploration equipment is a crucial link.

Xu Youran has always thought that exploration and mining should be like on the Fortress Star, with huge engineering machinery in operation and countless auxiliary facilities of all kinds.

Unfortunately, it is not the case at all on Heidi Star.

The level of technology here is obviously very backward, at most equivalent to the level of Earth in the 1970s and 1980s.

The proliferation of mutant beasts and the tyranny of awakened people form a sharp contrast with the backward level of productivity.

Telephones, televisions, mechanically driven cars...

Although the shapes do not quite fit Xu Youran's aesthetics, he can roughly guess their uses.

On Heidi Star, prospectors are a very respected profession, and they are often a profession that creates miracles and huge wealth.

Almost all prospectors are gold or earth awakened people, and they are more sensitive to the minerals hidden in the earth.

Xu Youran happened to awaken these two elemental powers. It can be said that he was born with the opportunity to become an excellent prospector, but he lacks the corresponding professional experience.

After the prospector roughly determined the range of the vein, various large-scale prospecting equipment came in handy.

According to different geological structures, the location of mineral storage is different. It is necessary to drill underground in the prospecting area, and then extract soil samples for testing.

Now he finally understands why he just appeared in the upper reaches of the Kenna River. That should be the place where Costa once believed that the thunder and fire gold sand was buried.

There are many indigenous Heidi people living along the Kenner River. They often pan for gold in the Kenner River and find scattered pieces of thunder and fire gold sand.

According to Costa's previous guess, these scattered thunder and fire gold sand should have been washed down from the upper reaches.

Entering the city of Turant, there is a wide stone road with a lot of traffic and people of all kinds. The official language here is the universal language of the universe.

If you want to buy prospecting equipment, the first choice is Kerry Shopping Center.

This is a large-scale market with a wide area. In a shopping center of more than ten square kilometers, you can buy almost everything you want.

Xu Youran followed Boll's footsteps and soon came to Kerry Shopping Center.

He took out a spirit stone and handed it to Bol, "What is this stone used for?"

"Wow! Sir, you are so rich!" Bol held the spirit stone in both hands, his huge eyes sparkling, "This is a spirit stone, sir, are you testing me? A spirit stone worth 10,000 yuan, sir, you are so rich."

"Where does this stone come from? What can it be used for? If you can answer it, you don't have to serve me for five days, and the five yuan is yours." Xu Youran smiled and took the spirit stone back.

"The spirit stones produced by the spirit stone mine can be used for cultivation or trading by awakened adults." Bol smiled honestly, "Sir, thank you for your generosity."

"Where is the spirit stone mine?" Xu Youran's face was expressionless, but his heart was full of joy.

"I only know about the spirit stone mine, but I don't know where it is." Bol shook his head in embarrassment, "That's the business of the big guys, we ordinary people don't know. It is said that there will be countless masters guarding it, sir..."

Boer has been mixed in the market, although he looks honest, his mind is extremely alert.

Xu Youran had been asking about the spirit stone mine, and he was wondering if this person wanted to rob the spirit stone mine.

"Haha, the test is over. I want to go prospecting in the mountains and find thunder and fire gold sand. Help me find some suitable equipment." Xu Youran took out another ten yuan, "This is an extra reward."

Boer took it with a smile, "Don't worry, sir, I started to guide prospectors when I was less than ten years old, and I am very familiar with these."

When Boer talked about the spirit stone mine, Xu Youran was indeed a little tempted.

However, Boer's words also reminded him that any spirit stone mine must have many masters defending it.

Even if he was at full firepower, it would be a foolish dream to want to rob the spirit stone mine alone.

Bol led him along the crowded Kerry Shopping Center. Occasionally, he could see exquisite small buildings. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are those places?"

"Banks. Everyone puts money in them and transfers money freely around the world." Bol looked at Xu Youran in surprise. How come this person didn't even know about banks? "Sir, do you want to open an account? Money and spirit stones can be deposited in them, and they can be exchanged for each other. It's very safe."

"Spirit stones can also be deposited?" Xu Youran was completely stunned. "Can they be exchanged for each other?"

In the technological civilization camp, no one had heard that Xinghai Bank could store spirit stones. It turned out that spirit stones could be stored here. He immediately said, "Come on, take me to see it."

The two soon walked into a bank with the words Cayman Federal Reserve written on it.

If Bol hadn't told him that this was a bank, he really wouldn't have thought of it.

There are many people coming and going in the bank, but they are all very orderly.

There are two strange-looking aliens sitting in the bank lobby. They are very powerful and you can tell at a glance that they are definitely six-time awakeners.

Xu Youran was shocked again. Using two six-time awakeners as security guards, this bank is too generous.

Boer seemed to see Xu Youran's surprise and whispered, "Sir, these are just the security guards we see on the surface. There may be masters hiding in the dark. Don't..."

Xu Youran slapped Boer on the head and scolded with a smile, "I'm here to open an account. What nonsense are you talking about? How can I be a robber? I'm a prospector!"

"Okay, sir." Boer rubbed his head, "Prospectors robbing banks is also a capital crime..."

"Get out! Hurry up and line up for me." Xu Youran almost wanted to slap Boer to death on the spot.

Although Boer spoke in a low voice, the six-time awakeners were powerful. The two security guards had already looked over and began to lock on Xu Youran.

If Xu Youran wanted to make a move, he would probably be attacked by them immediately.

There were several strong guys in the hall, who seemed to have heard what Bol said and looked over.

Xu Youran smiled awkwardly and was just about to find a seat to sit down.

A group of people surrounded a young man in luxurious clothes and walked out of the VIP room of the bank.

Xu Youran subconsciously took a look, but never thought that the young man also looked over.

"Hey! Isn't this our famous prospector Mr. Costa?" The young man pointed at Xu Youran and laughed, staggering over.

It's over, I met an acquaintance.

Xu Youran couldn't help but secretly groan in his heart. This young man had black hair and black eyes, which was somewhat similar to the Daqin people. He was obviously an orthodox human race and had an extraordinary origin.

Unfortunately, he didn't know him.

"Sir, this is Master Tang Tang, do you know him?" Bol whispered, his voice even trembling slightly.

Xu Youran's face immediately filled with a bright smile, and he went to greet him, "Master Tang Tang, it's been a long time since we last met."

He stretched out his hand to shake hands with Tang Tang, but Tang Tang ignored him and patted him on the shoulder, "I'm also surprised. I haven't seen you for so long, I thought you died in the mountains."

"You're too kind, I barely saved my life." Xu Youran withdrew his hand embarrassedly.

"It's been several years since the last time you found the red mixed copper mother mine. I heard that you made a lot of money, why do you seem to be so miserable?" Tang Tang's tone was full of sarcasm.

"Alas, I haven't found any good mines in these years." Xu Youran deliberately sighed, "What care can the young master give me?"

"I take care of you? Hahaha..." Tang Tang laughed dryly a few times, and his eyes suddenly became extremely fierce, "You brought outsiders to dig the mine in our Turant City, and you still want me to take care of you? You, the great prospector, should take care of me!"

"That...that..." Xu Youran was speechless, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Hahaha...live well, I hope you can help outsiders find some good mines and make a fortune..." Tang Tang laughed and turned away, but his tone was extremely cold.

Xu Youran watched a group of people surrounding Master Tang Tang and leaving, and a faint sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.

Many people in the bank seemed to know that Tang Tang. After hearing the conversation between the two, they immediately whispered and looked at Xu Youran with some unkindness.

Xu Youran quickly took Boer to the counter, took out his ID card, quickly applied for a bank card, and deposited ten yuan into it.

Although the two security guards no longer locked him with their covetous momentum, the eyes of others made him feel a little uneasy.

"So he is the prospector?"

"Fuck! It's really embarrassing for our Turant City..."

"How did he offend Master Tang Tang?"

"Don't mention it. A few years ago, he took a group of outsiders to prospect for minerals. I heard that they were from the Aoxiong Empire."

"Ah... the powerful and barbaric Aoxiong Empire?"

"Yes, it's the Aoxiong Empire. Our Tashan Empire can't afford to offend them."

"What's the relationship with Master Tang Tang?"

"Do you know the largest red mixed copper mother mine in our Tashan Empire?"

"Yes, it's the Aoxiong Empire. People from the United States are mining it."

"It was this Costa who found it... The Aoxion Empire said that if they were not allowed to mine, they would send troops to attack our Tashan Empire."

"Fuck! I was wondering why people from the Aoxion Empire were mining our largest red copper mother mine..."

"There's nothing we can do... The mine was found by someone who hired Costa. If the lawsuit is brought to the United Government, we are also in the wrong."

"This Costa really deserves to die..."

Amid the discussion of the crowd, Xu Youran roughly understood the ins and outs of some things.

He dragged Bol out of the bank in a panic, and asked as he walked: "Boer, do you know about the red copper mother mine?"

"Sir, I know. Are you really that scum Mr. Costa?" Bol asked curiously, "I heard that many people are cursing you..."

"Who is that Tang Tang?" Xu Youran quickly interrupted Bol.

Boer is indeed very honest, but what he said is a bit heartbreaking.

"You don't know Master Tang Tang? No way..." Bol saw the two talking just now and thought they knew each other well. "The city lord is Donald Jobson, and his favorite son is Tang Tang Jobson. He is the most beloved one among all his children."

Tang Tang Jobson.

Xu Youran wrote down this name and decided to stay away from this guy in the next few days.

He couldn't afford to offend the city lord's beloved son.

I didn't expect that Costa had such great achievements in the past. It's no wonder that Tangtang hated him.

He didn't attack him, so he probably had a kinder heart.
