Chapter 3342: Never Mining and Really Fragrant
Regarding 【Cataclysm Solution Type V】, Caesar's proposal was simple and rude. Since this thing only circulated in a small circle and outsiders had no possibility of buying it, then simply don't buy it, and let Xiang Bubu Wang steal it.
What if it couldn't be stolen? In a place like Freedom City, anything happening was not worth being surprised. That group of people selling 【Cataclysm Solution Type V】 for 60,000 kilograms of active ore were actually a hunter group fishing. They were the best choice.
There were many reasons for choosing them. First, they were all outlaws. Even if they were related to the "Watchtower" behind the scenes, on the surface, the "Watchtower" wouldn't provide them with any assistance.
Secondly, since that side used 【Cataclysm Solution Type V】 to fish, there must be bait, and the bait must be delicious.
Before the transaction, both sides had to have a process of checking the goods. No one would bring 60,000 kilograms of active ore to trade directly. That was being kicked in the head by a donkey.
In other words, that hunter group really had 【Cataclysm Solution Type V】 in their hands. In order to make the bait look better, the 【Cataclysm Solution Type V】 in their hands would definitely not be bad in quality, and it might even be the top-tier goods of the same grade.
That side used 【Cataclysm Solution Type V】 to fish. This bait couldn't always be hung on the fishhook, and that group of people were desperate people themselves. Daring to fish showed their confidence in their own strength.
In this way, the vault where they stored 【Cataclysm Solution Type V】 wouldn't be as exaggerated as other 【Cataclysm Solution】 merchants.
An even more important point was that after the 【Cataclysm Solution Type V】 of that hunter group was stolen, their first target of suspicion would definitely be those who had intended to buy 【Cataclysm Solution Type V】 recently.
Under the deliberate arrangement of Su Xiao and Caesar, that hunter group had a more than 90% probability of finding out that Li Xiniwei had inquired about the price of 【Cataclysm Solution Type V】 from them before.
By then, this hunter group would inevitably launch revenge on Li Xiniwei. At that time, Li Xiniwei had already reached the Tribunal, and might even have taken a middle-level position in the Tribunal.
By then, this hunter group could only swallow their anger and admit their bad luck. They didn't dare to provoke the Tribunal.
In this way, Su Xiao not only obtained high-quality 【Cataclysm Solution Type V】, but also avoided the subsequent revenge of the hunter group, and established an enemy for Li Xiniwei that was not bound by Kin laws, making Li Xiniwei more honest.
In the restaurant, Su Xiao looked at the girl devouring food opposite him. This was Li Xiniwei's daughter, Dorothy.
After knowing that Li Xiniwei had a daughter, Su Xiao let Baha be responsible for this matter. He spent some active ore and, through the information provided by scavengers, didn't spend much time finding Dorothy who was working in Freedom City.
Dorothy worked in a bar, mainly responsible for mixing drinks and cleaning up those customers who made trouble. From the help of her father Li Xiniwei, whether it was money or human network, she refused all of them.
Dorothy stubbornly believed that her mother was harmed by her father. Actually, she was right.
Li Xiniwei once served as an official in the fortress city of the "Aurora Council," and then hooked up with a wild little lover.
At first, Li Xiniwei was fascinated by that little lover like a leopard, until the little lover knew that Li Xiniwei had a wife and daughter.
At that time, the little lover lay in Li Xiniwei's arms and told him, it's okay, everything will be fine.
A week later, the little lover took a gift box to find Li Xiniwei. Inside the gift box was the head of Li Xiniwei's wife.
Li Xiniwei was shocked and angry at the time, and then he was "surprised" to find that his little lover was actually a backbone member of a hunter group. That hunter group was named "Clan," and more people called it the "Xin" clan.
Because of this, Li Xiniwei was almost turned into "Eunuch Xiniwei" by the hunters. It was his superior at the time who protected him.
Because this belonged to a scandal, Li Xiniwei lost his official position in the Aurora Council. Afterwards, he borrowed money and, relying on human network relationships, rented a T5-level fortress city to mine.
Don't underestimate hunter groups. Powerful hunter groups, even the three major Kin factions would give face.
Hunters and scavengers had essential differences, but the two could sometimes communicate. Roughly speaking, hunters were equivalent to organized black gangs, while scavengers were local ruffians. After local ruffians became a climate, they naturally rose to a higher level.
The contempt chain of this continent was:
Kin and humans despised each other, both feeling the other side was a fool, but these two sides simultaneously despised Alienated Beasts, hunters, and scavengers.
High-intelligence Alienated Beasts and hunters despised each other, and then both sides simultaneously despised scavengers.
Scavengers despised Pig-headed Men, and Pig-headed Men silently endured the anger.
Li Xiniwei's life experience was very exciting. Because he found a little lover, his wife died tragically afterwards, and his wife had been living in the "Kevab Ring City" with her daughter before, dying very unjustly.
The so-called "Kevab Ring City" was a city more vast than the fortress city. There were extremely strict Kin defense troops there, and the entire city was surrounded by ring-shaped city walls, with many heavy artillery-grade weapons on the city walls.
After having the mobile fortress as a foundation, the major forces of the Kin and humans rose together, all developing in the direction of resettlement. Ring City was a representative of this.
Dorothy had lived in "Kevab Ring City" since she was a child. The number of times she had seen her father was limited. Because of the things that happened later, Dorothy had no other feelings for her father except hatred.
Even so, she wouldn't kill her father. What she hated more was the person who once killed her mother, that is, the little lover her father once had. For that little bitch, Dorothy hated her to the roots of her teeth every minute and every second.
These things were not difficult to investigate. At the beginning, this matter was spread as gossip for a long time. In this way, things were very simple. When Baha found Dorothy, he only asked the other party one sentence: "Want revenge?"
Everything afterwards followed the logical sequence. Dorothy became the host of the second-generation Devourer Boiling Red and was deceived by Su Xiao... cough, was recruited by Su Xiao under his command.
Su Xiao looked at Dorothy opposite the table. This girl couldn't be considered particularly beautiful. There were some freckles on her face, her nose was slightly red, and her long hair was braided into braids. The braids almost hung down to her calves. There were small metal rings tied to the tips of her hair. Even when dining, she still wore black gloves made of cloth on her hands. If he took off her clothes, he would see tattoos all over her back to cover the scars.
Now the second-generation Devourer Boiling Red had a host, it was time to release the third-generation Devourer Dark Sun.
The reason Su Xiao did this was very simple: let the hosts of Boiling Red and Dark Sun compete, and Su Xiao could take the opportunity to collect data, and then continuously optimize and improve the next generation of Devourers. His ultimate goal had two, and achieving one of the two goals was enough.
First was the external gain-type Devourer. Regarding whether this goal could be achieved, Su Xiao felt that judging from the current situation, the nurse-type Devourer was going further and further.
Although one of the goals was going further and further, Su Xiao still had another goal, which was to create a Devourer that was both obedient to command and capable of independent action.
This type of Devourer didn't need a host and possessed powerful combat power itself. And, it had to become a permanent summoned creature that didn't occupy a summoned creature slot.
This type of Devourer must possess powerful combat power, as well as be able to adapt to various extreme environments, plus super strong independent survival and combat capabilities, and could restore its own damage by absorbing life force.
If this type of Devourer could be created, then he would be rich. If this type of Devourer could become a permanent summoned creature, then it killing enemies, in the judgment of Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao would receive kill rewards, and after the enemy died, there was a certain probability of dropping treasure chests, etc.
In other words, after Su Xiao entered the mission world, he could choose a piece of wild land, release the perfect-body Devourer, and let this Devourer hunt powerful extraordinary beasts in the wild. During this period, Su Xiao could continuously receive kill rewards.
Actually, Amu and Baha could barely do this, but they couldn't fight all the time. Amu was a tank-type, and Baha was an assassination-type. In a small team, each specializing in one specialty could exert more powerful power.
So, putting them in the wild land and letting them fight and kill enemies alone, a few days was fine, but if the time was long, sooner or later there would be a day of dying in battle.
Precisely because of this, Su Xiao needed to continuously improve the Devourer generation by generation. The day the perfect body was created was the day of lying down and waiting for gains.
Actually, Su Xiao had an even bolder plan. Gray Gentleman, by turning other contractors into "puppets," gained high gains in every world progress without bearing any risks.
Gray Gentleman had a way to strip the contractor's brand. Su Xiao didn't need this way. What he needed was the Paradise Brand.
Suppose the perfect-body Devourer had a Paradise Brand, could it independently enter a world? Go to that world to fish for resources.
Devourers were never only able to manufacture one. Suppose a Devourer team was manufactured, released, and let it enter the mission world. Even without the comprehensive evaluation at the end of the world, the resources obtained from killing in a world were also very profitable. These resources would all belong to Su Xiao.
This was only one of Su Xiao's assumptions. He had a better plan. Through the Alchemy Codex, he unlocked a new life blueprint 【Silent Servant】.
Silent Servant could detect various rare mineral veins underground. The life blueprint Su Xiao hadn't mastered yet, Tunneling Servant, was for mining. These two silly brothers combined together were a mining team.
Mining was a particularly profitable business. Were alchemists rich? They were all tireless about this, which showed the degree of their money-making.
Su Xiao's ideal resource collection team was: one Silent Servant (detection), one Tunneling Servant (mining), 3~5 perfect Devourers (super bodyguards).
Mining was such a profitable business that it was very eye-catching. Letting the perfect Devourer team protect the two silly brothers was much more profitable than letting the Devourers go to kill.
During this period, if they encountered powerful extraordinary creatures, the Devourer team might also besiege them to death, which belonged to extra income.
In this way, this mining team ensured output and also avoided being looted by contractors of the same grade. Every world progress, they could bring back a large amount of ore. By then, Su Xiao would sell them for soul coins. That amount of gain, saying he laughed awake in his dreams was a bit exaggerated, but it was absolutely amazing.
Regarding the two silly mining brothers, the life blueprint of 【Silent Servant】 had been obtained. Su Xiao believed that the back of the sixth page of the Alchemy Codex recorded the life blueprint of 【Tunneling Servant】.
Since the alchemists of the Second Era Alchemy Civilization chose to record and pass down knowledge, there was really no need to only record 【Silent Servant】 and not record 【Tunneling Servant】. This didn't seem too annoying. Those alchemy grandmasters wouldn't do such a wicked thing.
This kind of behavior was like writing a book, and when it was exciting, it clicked and disappeared.
The life blueprint of the two silly mining brothers didn't need to worry. The problem at hand was that the Devourer wasn't perfect enough.
Su Xiao took out the glass column containing the third-generation Devourer Dark Sun and placed it on the dining table.
Dorothy, who was dining opposite, immediately stopped her movements. Her pupils immediately turned crimson. She felt it. The dark golden semi-fluid in the glass column was her nemesis, or rather, it was the nemesis of her and Boiling Red.
"Let me kill it."
Dorothy jumped lightly, her feet already stepped on the top of the chair back, her long braids hung down, and the small metal rings tied to the tips of her hair collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
"..."
Su Xiao ignored Dorothy. He was considering where to release the third-generation Devourer Dark Sun.
"Mr. Bai Ye, let me, kill it."
Dorothy emphasized again. Hearing this, Su Xiao looked at Dorothy.
"Sit there honestly."
"I don't."
Dorothy showed a rebellious side. Her words just fell, and she found that Amu and Baha were both looking at her.
"Moo?"
Amu made a move to take out the Dragon Heart Axe, but was stopped by Baha. Baha took off a stool leg more than a meter long and handed it to Amu, meaning, use this to hit, it won't be easily killed.
A few minutes later, Dorothy's left eye circle was a bit blue, and her right cheek was like containing a walnut in her cheek. She put her hands behind her back, sniffed the snot with blood, and said very sincerely: "Lord Bai Ye, I know I was wrong, please forgive me."
Hearing her say this, Baha lifted the sharp eagle claws pressing on her head, and Amu also withdrew the Dragon Heart Axe framed on her neck. The rebellious girl Dorothy became much more obedient after being educated.
