Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

"Enter!"

"But if I die, remember to get my helmet back for me!"

In Lemon's opinion, from the moment this helmet can create a halo on the head, it is worth more than 10 Alliance Coins.

Maybe it's more expensive than the gun Baileys is holding.

……

At this time, in the gathering place, Tang Yi was in front of the newly built office of Li Shan and his team.

Yun Hejun and the players were very efficient. Although they did not build a villa as Tang Yi had said before, three wooden houses were quickly built.

At the same time, the gathering place also earned its first foreign exchange from labor.

Twenty-five taels of Qi Stone!

Xia Keyu also gave 120 alliance coins to each of the eight players who participated in the construction.

Triple win!

"These two are where we live, and this one is used as an office." Li Shan pointed to the three wooden houses in front of him and introduced them.

It can be clearly seen that the house they used to live in was smaller, but there was space for upward expansion.

The office room is more spacious, with a large lobby as soon as you enter.

I feel that when [My Favorite Black Silk Beautiful Legs] contracted the construction, they obviously borrowed the design of the mission hall.

"Chief Tang, my office is here."

Li Shan took Tang Yi to the northeast corner of the house, where there was a row of rooms, one of which was Li Shan's office.

Although he has nothing to do every day.

"Did Brother Li tell Sima Chu?"

After entering the office, Tang Yi looked at the interior decoration and asked Li Shan who walked to the desk.

Maybe because it was built not long ago, the interior of the house is very simple. Apart from a few flower pots given by [My Favorite Black Silk Beautiful Legs], there is only a set of tables and chairs in the middle and a bookcase against the wall.

"I applied to Sima Chu at noon. He said he had nothing to do in the afternoon. Whenever Chief Tang is free, you can directly apply to him for a connection." Li Shan turned on the communication equipment and looked up at Tang Yi.

Before going to the mission hall in the morning, Tang Yi also talked to Li Shan and said that he had important matters to report to Chu Tianming and asked him to arrange a time as soon as possible.

Then, while he was still dealing with the pile of plans, Li Shan sent someone over to tell him, "You can connect at any time."

So as soon as he finished arranging the plan, Tang Yi rushed over immediately.

"Then I'll apply for a connection now." Li Shan looked at Tang Yi with some inquiry in his tone.

"Okay." Tang Yi replied.

Li Shan nodded immediately, then started the instrument and entered Chu Tianming's number.

[Application for connection - Applicant: Li Shan - Applicant: Chu Tianming]

【application passed】

Chapter 122 Money moves people’s hearts

Soon, Chu Tianming appeared in front of Tang Yi with a smiling face.

But judging from the background behind him, he doesn't seem to be in the military camp, but in the wild?

"Chief Tang, good afternoon."

He gently waved his fan, and after his gaze lingered briefly on Tang Yi and Li Shan's faces, it naturally moved behind them.

"Is this Li Shan's new office? It looks pretty nice."

"It's indeed okay." Tang Yi nodded slightly.

Then the two of them began their routine greetings, while Li Shan stood aside, unable to say a word.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Tang Yi paused for a moment.

He prepared his words and looked at Chu Tianming again.

"Sima Chu, you should know that I visited the gravekeeper of Fangjia Village yesterday."

"Yes, Li Shan told me." Chu Tianming nodded.

Before Tang Yi left yesterday, he asked Li Shan about the location of the ancestral tomb of Fangjia Village, so Yun Hejun naturally knew about the action at the gathering place.

However, why did Tang Yi suddenly bring up this?

Chu Tianming slowed down the speed of fanning himself and focused his attention on Tang Yi's next sentence.

"I discovered something." Tang Yi's tone became a little serious. He looked into Chu Tianming's eyes and spoke word by word.

"The village chief of Fangjia Village is a high-level demon."

"..."

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became silent.

The fan in Chu Tianming's hand stopped swinging instantly, and Li Shan held his breath and opened his eyes wide.

"Are you sure?"

Chu Tianming's eyes suddenly became sharp, and his tone became more serious than ever before.

Just by hearing this piece of information from Tang Yi, countless clues emerged in his mind, and then these clues began to be continuously pieced together and combined.

Fangjia Village...

"Moreover, there is a gas stone mine right under the ancestral tomb of Fangjia Village."

Tang Yi did not answer Chu Tianming's question, but continued.

Yes, after seeing Fang Er, he gave up the idea of ​​taking the gas stone mine alone.

The village chief of Fangjia Village is a high-level demon, and Fang Er probably also has the combat power of the Xuan level, so it is difficult for them to take over this gas stone mine without alerting the Yunhe army.

What's more, he has come to terms with it.

According to the description of [Rice Zongzi Tastes Better], the reserves of this gas stone mine are estimated to be quite high, and Fangjia Village's traditional mining method has not produced much gas stone.

The technology and equipment currently available at that gathering place are not much better than those of Fangjia Village.

In addition, the subsequent processing of the ore is also a difficult task.

So it is better to cooperate with Yunhe Town, which has complete technology.

This way he could also complete the 50,000 units of Air Stones in the main quest sooner.

"Airstone mine?!"

Chu Tianming's tone became noticeably higher.

Li Shan lost control of his facial expression on the spot, his mouth opened wide, and his hands began to rub unconsciously.

This news was even more shocking than the news that the village chief of Fangjia Village was possessed by another spirit.

You know, just to the west of Yunhe Town, there is a small town called Shaling. It was because of the discovery of a gas stone mine more than ten years ago that it developed all the way to its current scale comparable to Yunhe Town in more than ten years.

And it was precisely because of that mineral vein that they were plunged into endless infighting and war.

Money moves people's hearts.

This is a truth that applies to any era.

"I'll send someone over right away."

After hearing this, Chu Tianming stopped talking nonsense.

Whether it was a demon taking over someone's body or the existence of an air stone mine, these were special circumstances where force could be used directly without the need for evidence.

Moreover, he has also witnessed the rapid rise of Fangjia Village over the years.

He had doubts before, but now...

These two pieces of information also gave him a good explanation.

"We can send someone directly to the ancestral tomb in Fangjia Village. My people are there now and can provide support directly." Tang Yi suggested.

"Row."

Chu Tianming nodded, then turned his head to look at the map in the valley, and then continued:

"There's a small lake just east of their ancestral graves. Have your people wait for us there."

"Are you coming too?" Tang Yi asked with a raised eyebrow.

Chu Tianming is a Xuan-level cultivator who has comprehended the true meaning. If he can come here, unless this Qi Stone Mine is guarded by a big demon, it will not pose a threat to him.

"I can't leave for the time being." Chu Tianming shook his head slightly.

He did not explain the whole story, but waved his feather fan again and continued.

"The most crucial part of this operation is to seize the mineral vein you mentioned. If you can confirm the situation in Fangjia Village, you can also lead your men to seize it directly."

"But don't kill innocent people. Our people will take over there later."

"As for the ownership of this airstone mine, the general will discuss it with you personally when the time comes."

……

"No, why does this person stay here all the time?"

[Phantom Tank] was still standing in the previous position, looking from afar at the big rock next to the ancestral tomb of Fangjia Village, where a person was still sitting.

Fang Er is like an ascetic monk. He hasn't moved since he went up there after lunch.

"I'm a gravekeeper, not here for sightseeing. I must stay here." [Gugu] said without turning his head.

"Can anyone lead him away?"

[Phantom Tank] turned around and glanced at the people behind him. They were holding some branches and simulating a fight, looking very bored.

"How to lead?"

"Make some noise? Or maybe just send two people to attack him by surprise?"

"You go?"

"Let Chenlu go. He's the highest level and has practiced martial arts in real life."

"I?"

When Chen Lu heard this, he paused his movements. He pointed at himself with his right index finger, and then pointed at Fang Er on the stone in the distance.

"I hit him? Are you serious?"

"Forehead……"

Having said that, everyone silently imagined the scene in their minds.

Because before the leader left yesterday, he said that Fang Er was as strong as him, so letting Chen Lu fight Fang Er was the same as letting Chen Lu fight the leader...

It doesn’t seem to work either.

"What should we do? If he refuses to leave, we won't be able to find the location of the mine entrance." Phantom Tank continued.

In fact, last night, they wanted to launch a sneak attack under the cover of darkness.

As a result, a bear got there first.

And that bear has become Fang Er's lunch today.

"Then we can't just sit here and wait forever, right? Other tasks..."

Before Phantom Tank could finish his words, his personal panel suddenly popped up in front of him, and a prompt also popped up in the task box at the bottom of the panel.

[Story Mission: Receiving Reinforcements]

Mission Description: The leader discovered a hidden conspiracy in Fangjia Village. After communicating with Yunhejun, both sides decided to launch a joint attack on Fang Er.
