Chapter 2399: Chapter 2391: Sulking (Third Update Requesting Monthly Ticket)
Feng Jun spoke while releasing two mining machines.
The size of the mining machines was not small at all, comparable to the last fire support ship.
Beauty Lin was startled again, and after understanding what it was, she took out her mobile phone and walked out, "Wait for my call."
Next came the usual routine, and soon some more experts would appear. Taking this opportunity, Feng Jun took out energy stones and two energy stone purifiers for a brief introduction.
Beauty Lin heard that the mining equipment also consumed energy blocks and remarked that the energy stones were somewhat few, asking if Feng Jun could provide more.
Feng Jun, always agreeable, took out approximately forty tons more but stated that energy stones couldn’t be given excessively, because this type of energy wasn’t stable on Earth — or even in outer space.
So if you need energy stones temporarily, you can contact Mei Jin or Li Shishi. I will leave them some energy stones.
Beauty Lin blinked, "Are energy stones more stable in the Storage Bag?"
She was using every opportunity to understand the operation of Luohua, and Feng Jun, not concealing anything, nodded straightforwardly, "Yes."
Beauty Lin then asked, "Are you handing things over to them because you’re about to face danger or are ready to delegate power?"
"There’s definitely a bit of danger," Feng Jun answered nonchalantly, since he hadn’t appeared on Earth for more than a month after the last departure, "I’m also getting a bit too busy, but most importantly... they’ve both grown up."
"I think it’s Zhang Caixin who’s grown up, right?" Beauty Lin couldn’t help but interject, "It’s been spread among the Daoist Sects, that she’s advanced to the Emerging Dust Stage... I’ve heard you can fly physically at the Emerging Dust Stage, right?"
"Why are you asking so many questions," Feng Jun glanced at her, "I’ve always been collecting good stuff for you all, and have been quite dedicated. These two pieces of mining equipment are brand new, haven’t been unpacked."
At this moment, more experts came in from outside, starting the next stage.
The mining equipment Feng Jun brought astounded the experts again, but after they roughly understood it and inquired about some parameters, they expressed that such advanced equipment might not be necessary for mining.
Why not necessary? Because the mining costs are too high, not economical.
It’s actually due to differing levels of technological development; the more developed a society is, the higher the labor costs, and the increase in automation equipment inevitably leads to increased energy consumption.
Although the Human Race on the Insect World faced a survival crisis, human life seemed worthless, but their level of technology was enough to not care much about energy issues — Xingzheng Star faced an energy crisis because it was under blockade.
These experts couldn’t convert energy stones to electric power, but by examining the structure of the mining equipment, they gained some understanding of its expense capability.
Truthfully, although mining equipment from Hesheng is divided into various models for energy stone mines, iron mines, silver mines, etc., structurally they’re not drastically different. Energy stone mining equipment has more considerations, sold slightly more expensively.
Feng Jun knew this, so he thought energy stone mining equipment had the strongest versatility, believing it could be used for mining any type of mine. Little did he expect the experts to directly state: the equipment was too advanced.
This made him slightly disappointed, but the experts weren’t maliciously picky; they just thought it was too expensive to be practical. In terms of details, there were still many admirable aspects.
Someone thought the structure was astonishingly impressive, and another discovered the materials seemed a bit unique.
Even more amazing was when an old expert, after being silent for a long while, suddenly asked, "Is this... a structure for use under supergravity?"
Must admit, many people’s boasting is just hot air, but some are genuinely impressive.
Feng Jun nodded, since everyone had signed confidentiality agreements, "Can be used normally in a six-times gravity environment."
"This equipment must be transported," the old expert stated without hesitation, "Zhengyang doesn’t have the conditions for research."
Someone beside him was dissatisfied, "Why are you claiming it doesn’t? Some structures can be referenced and used in tunnel boring machines and deep-sea drilling... Zhengyang itself has such demands."
Feng Jun was too lazy to listen to their argument and turned to Beauty Lin, "Can I go now?"
"Better wait a while," Beauty Lin replied solemnly, "If transportation is needed, it won’t bother us a second time."
Feng Jun helplessly shook his head, "You’re really getting handy using us now."
But he didn’t mean to refuse, thinking it better for him to do the transporting rather than having Good Scenery do it, since Director Mei’s travel skills were quite mediocre. She could use the time for more cultivation.
However, these people were arguing fiercely, and Feng Jun didn’t want to wait on-site, so he directly went to another room to demonstrate how to operate the energy block converter.
Seeing the energy stones convert into sparkling energy blocks, someone couldn’t help but ask, "Where exactly are these energy stones mined?"
Feng Jun looked at Beauty Lin, asking helplessly, "Aren’t you going to manage this?"
In the past, when he encountered such things, he generally ignored them. However, now it’s different; he needs to gradually express: you better adhere to some rules, or I also have a temper.
Why has this change occurred? Because he clearly felt that Beauty Lin’s probing of him was becoming more frequent and obvious. This time, she even asked Feng Jing for help in transportation!
Helping when convenient is of course reasonable, not to mention she has a corresponding reason, yet in essence, it is still a probe.
You can probe, and I, of course, can express myself clearly.
Beauty Lin was taken aback upon hearing this, glanced at the person who asked the question, a cultured-looking man with glasses, and then glared at him fiercely before smilingly replying, "I’m not very familiar with this gentleman, it should be a slip of the tongue, I apologize."
"If apologies were useful..." Feng Jun’s words were cut off halfway, and he turned around to leave, saying, "It’s always like this, I’m tired of it!"
"Hey, Elder Feng," Beauty Lin hurried a few steps to catch up, attempting to grab him, but he shot her a cold look.
She was startled and stopped, while Feng Jun quickly walked away.
A middle-aged man approached her, precisely her superior, his expression somewhat solemn, "What’s going on?"
Beauty Lin glanced at him and spoke helplessly, "Such low-level mistakes occur every time, how can he not have thoughts?"
"That’s not necessarily..." The middle-aged man’s words abruptly stopped, pondering for quite a while before murmuring thoughtfully, "Is it because of Director Mei?"
Beauty Lin remained silent, just as Feng Jun thought, entrusting Feng Jing with the task was indeed a plan of theirs to probe, otherwise, they could have waited for Feng Jun to return before operating.
Looking at it now, Feng Jun is not unaware, but rather they chose a good entry point that he couldn’t dispute. Now, there’s some "mistake" here, and he directly showed displeasure.
The middle-aged man paused for a while before looking at her, frowning as he spoke, "Actually, it’s not a bad thing that he can directly express emotions, right?"
Beauty Lin thought for a moment, nodded, and replied helplessly, "Right, him not hiding his emotions helps in refining his profile."
Although saying this, she internally snorted coldly, Feng Jun’s personality profile is already very refined. We even issued risk warnings before, but there are always people who harbor hopes, and I can’t stop them.
The middle-aged man mused for a moment before speaking, "I still need to trouble you to work hard and do some more work for him... This mining equipment at least needs to be moved, without his help, it’s troublesome again."
"I’ll try," Beauty Lin replied listlessly, "But, give it a day or two, until his mood stabilizes a bit."
Unfortunately, two days later when she called over, people from Luohua indicated that the Elder left yesterday.
Feng Jun replenished some energy in the Stone Ring and then went to White Pebble Beach. Although the aura of fellow cultivators already seemed relatively low-level to him, having this place on hand still serves as his source of connections ultimately, so he cannot give it up.
This time, he spent nearly two months in the Insect World, accumulating a batch of individuals waiting for deduction, including those progressing in realms and treating injuries.
He took three days to complete the deductions, and as a result, Yun Buyao began advancing again, from the Seventh Layer to the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining.
Her advancement was actually very smooth but took five days. Feng Jun, if not in the manor, would be understandable, but since he was around, he had to help protect her.
On the fourth day, Zhang Caixin returned from outside, learned that Yun Buyao was advancing, and offered, saying, "I’ll protect her, Elder, you go ahead and do what you need to."
She had no grudges against Yun Buyao, although the latter possessed the Innate Pure Gold Physique which wasn’t favorable for female cultivators, her cultivation speed was naturally slower than Zhang Caixin’s Innate Pure Water, and Zhang Caixin was already ahead, so she couldn’t let her catch up.
In truth, Yun Buyao’s combat strength was formidable, and her determination noteworthy, deserving of Zhang Caixin’s efforts to win her over.
Feng Jun calculated the time, shook his head with a smile, "There’s just one day left, I’ll wait for her."
When Yun Buyao barely stabilized her realm, Feng Jun flickered and entered the Insect World again.
This time in the Insect World, he, of course, headed for the Big Planet—primarily these cultivators were numerous and of low cultivation levels. Although the Essence Blood Protection Talismans he left had no problems warning, he wanted to check for safety.
Upon arrival and seeing the situation, he found everyone working well. Besides the mines he pointed out, they even discovered several new ones. Evidently, they felt there wasn’t enough work.
Among the cultivators taking turns on guard duty, there was Yan Yuxi. Upon seeing him return, she immediately greeted him and then asked, "Mountain Master Feng, when will the new equipment arrive? It’s truly excellent."
Feng Jun pondered internally; he had kept He Runsheng waiting for about ten days, and perhaps he could inquire.
So he replied with a smile, "My method proves economically efficient, right? I’ll think of a way again later. By the way, there seem to be a few fewer True Immortals, where’s Fairy Nishang?"
Yan Yuxi’s eyes flickered with deeply hidden panic, but she smiled and answered, "You mentioned there were Insect Races in the direction of the Red Giant Star, so they went to investigate together. If there is any danger, they can warn us in advance."
