It's hard to believe that someone will really take out such a rich thing and give it out for free.

This is a town with a population of more than tens of thousands, not a shopping mall or a shop.

"Value" is actually not difficult to measure. I accidentally picked up a leather bag containing 10,000 yuan on the street, and I spent a lot of time and energy to earn the same amount of money. The former's sense of cherishing is never as good as the latter.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Qiao Tianyu is the founder of Konoha Town. Many old mercenaries, including Kensen and Mo Xingkui, still remember the scene when the construction was just started. People saw logs from nearby mountains and got large rocks from quarries. When small wooden houses and stone houses continued to appear, the business roads connected to the empire's domestic territory were also opened. Building materials such as steel and cement were continuously transported, and food, medicine, fabrics and other daily necessities began to accumulate. The city walls were no longer the foundation, but became taller and thicker, and various fortifications were constantly improved. When everything basically showed its prototype, more and more immigrants from various places were immigrants. No one could remember who the first woman in Konoha Town was? But she did bring a lot of happiness to the men who built the town. Here, no one would dislike the profession of a woman. The premise was that she should not be too greedy and not be clever.

Su Hao has never been to the Imperial Domain, so he is not very clear about the selling price of furs. However, this does not prevent him from guessing the approximate price. In Konoha Town, a high-quality werewolf fur with excellent quality is usually fifty silver coins. Of course, not all werewolf furs can be sold at this price. Apart from the quality of the fur itself and the flaws caused by accidental peeling and tanning, the value of werewolf skins generally floats up and down between five silver coins. The Imperial Domain is very far away from here. Except for normal expenses on the road, the normal income should be about three to five times.

Qiao Tianyu is a shrewd businessman. Of course, he would not leave a large amount of money to the residents of Konoha Town. All kinds of necessities of daily necessities from the empire have a market. The goods transactions between the two places have made Qiao Tianyu make a fortune. No matter who it is, it is impossible for him to be willing to give up such generous benefits.

If Su Hao hadn't been in Konoha Town for a long time, if he hadn't had the ability to detect thinking consciousness, if he hadn't had contact with Qiao Tianyu before, maybe Su Hao might have been moved by Qiao Tianyu's performance and thought that he really wanted to hand over everything here to himself.

Su Hao reached out to take the transfer document, but his eyes were fixed on the other party, and said calmly and seriously: "What the hell is going on? I hope to hear the truth, not the lies used for deceiving. No matter what you say, I will believe it."

This kind of calm surprised Qiao Tianyu.

At first, Qiao Tianyu did not believe that Wang Hu died in battle.

After coming to Konoha Town, Su Hao showed too many unexpected actions. Especially his extremely skilled medical skills directly made Qiao Tianyu suspicious.

Even in the empire, doctors are also members of the upper middle class. Only well-educated people can become doctors. Especially excellent surgeons are usually attracted by the army. They either hold important positions in regular military field hospitals, or are absorbed by the main legion, and through re-training, they assume important positions such as legion pharmacists.

In the routine communication, Wang Hu reported everything that happened in Konoha Town like Qiao Tianyu. Wang Hu praised Su Hao. This was not his own opinion, but the praises of those who were rescued by Su Hao and picked up a mercenary named. Qiao Tianyu had to doubt: When he was in Red Stone City, Su Hao was still an ordinary guy. Why was he so eye-catching when he arrived in Konoha Town? Could it be that he was a spy sent by other forces, or his greedy brothers and sisters?

The trusted confidant Wang Hu died, and the most suspicious Su Hao is still alive. If Qiao Tianyu doesn't think there is something wrong with this situation, then he is a live pig.

However, everything that happened next showed that Qiao Tianyu's idea was wrong. At least, Su Hao had no connection with the Qiao family.

"I want you to take over this town."

Qiao Tianyu gritted his teeth and said, "As long as it remains in my name, it will be taken away by those guys. I can give you 60% of the profits. I need an agent and a new mayor. Wang Hu is dead, and you can completely replace him."

Su Hao smiled faintly: "Do you want me to cover you?"

Qiao Tianyu thought for a while and replied: "I'm afraid you have to take on more responsibilities. I will do my best to support you, but you have to withstand the pressure from other aspects.

This sentence is said in a plain and firm manner.

Su Hao certainly understood the meaning. The pressure came from the Qiao family, as well as the nobles who wanted to get but had nothing.

A strange light flashed in his eyes, he looked at Qiao Tianyu again, stretched out his right hand, and nodded with a smile: "60%, this employment price is pretty good."

Su Hao knew that even if he proposed 70% or even higher, Qiao Tianyu would agree to these conditions. After all, according to his method, Konoha Town has become Su Hao's personal private property. But Su Hao understood that maintaining a settlement of tens of thousands of people in the border area is not as simple as simply gaining recognition from the empire. If Qiao Tianyu blocked the business road in anger, it would not take long to be abandoned and he would not get anything.

60% of this price is already very generous.

The two people held their palms together with force. Su Hao was slender, delicate, and had an indescribable sense of smoothness. Qiao Tianyu's warm and thick, his fat and short fingers were white and powerful.

Su Hao spent the whole night in the final preparations.

The counting personnel, inventory of supplies, and modifying plans to deal with various emergencies. All kinds of trivial matters are always solved, and then another one appears, with almost no end. Su Hao even feels that "everything is ready" is simply a lie. Although he has not been asleep all night, he does not feel tired at all, and even has an indescribable excitement and expectation.

Where will the space converter take itself?

Dai Xiaolou once said that it is not another world, but an additional component of the current world. It is just because it cannot be reached by normal channels, and only by using a space converter can you enter.

Just like the sea on earth, and deep in land.

Su Hao does not intend to take everyone away. The experienced and steadfast mercenary captain Kenson will be kept, and so will Cookmock. Mo Xingkui and Hengrey are two other team members who undergo modification surgery and can wear power armor. They will become companions around Su Hao and go to that strange and unknown area together.

The first exploration is the most difficult. No one knows what kind of dangers you will encounter there? Maybe it is a highly toxic area, or the geological conditions and environment are extremely harsh, or it is a powerful creature full of various and dangerous... In short, this time, this time it was just an exploration. As long as you record the relevant coordinates, it is very convenient to go there any time.

At dawn, the three of them were ready to go.

Kenson arranged the space transmitter. Under the guidance of the professional sergeant sent by the "Iron Warriors", the mercenaries built a hexagonal concrete base next to the Twenty-two Squadron's garage. This was mainly to consolidate the base of the bottom and maximize the release of the running energy. When Su Hao and the other two walked into the energy control area, Kenson, who was solemn, had also opened the hatch cover of the space converter and put in three specially selected white crystals, the size of hazelnuts.

Press the start button, and the space transmitter immediately ran at high speed. Huge energy surged out of the crystal furnace, and realized the predetermined coil along the ground, forming a dazzling light. It looked like the ground was cut by some invisible blade and turned into a hexagonal gap. The bright white light continued to rise, and finally formed an elliptical, balanced and stable energy door in front of Su Hao and others.

The mercenaries stood outside the white coil, looking at the three departing companions with complicated expressions.

Exploring unknown space is the dream of every imperial warrior. There are rich resources there and can get rich achievements and rewards. However, the threat of death is also accompanied by them. No one knows what is opposite the space gate. Maybe it is a dark creature, or it may be a more ferocious and powerful unknown monster. Opportunity and death are always a pair of twins, it depends on how you understand and how you face it.

He Dong kept his face tense until Su Hao was about to lift his feet and step into the space door. He Dong opened his mouth and shouted with reluctance.

"Doctor, I wish you good luck and come back alive"

Su Hao smiled and waved at him: "Of course, you have to invite me to drink at that time."

The others also looked solemn, but no one spoke. They just raised their arms and saluted to these friends who were about to leave.

No one knows how big the area of ​​strange space is? How many pieces are there?

The first explorers of the past are particularly important. They must use the materials they brought in to build a solid base for progress. However, exploration may not have any gains, and if sufficient valuable resources and species are not found, the target space will have no use value.

In the history of the empire, I don’t know how many people disappeared into space to explore this path.

No matter the nobles or civilians, no matter what kind of dreams they had ever had, they should be considered excellent imperial pioneers.

The same is true for Su Hao.

When passing through the oval light curtain, Su Hao felt that there was a big difference from the previous two times he entered the pyramid portal. There was no fearful darkness behind him, and everything was wrapped in dazzling light. In this case, the naked eye could not say anything about vision, and could not see anything. He was completely driven by a wave of energy and moved forward slowly.

The energy gradually disappeared, and the soles of the boots felt a slump in contact with the hard objects. Su Hao slowly opened his eyes and looked at this completely unfamiliar world.

There are no red flowers and green trees, nor blue sky and white clouds, everything is shrouded in deep darkness and fog.

The sky was covered with black clouds, with only a little red light released from behind the clouds. The size of the clouds and light was too different, like a burly and strong man, and a newly born baby. Whether the latter was desperately releasing the light, it was still firmly blocked by the clouds standing in front. Only very faint light reflected from the sky, making the ground scene not look dark.

Su Hao turned on the spotlights on the shoulders of the power armor and shone a snow-white spot directly in front of him.

You can see a forest in the distance, and there are several strange-shaped plants under your feet. Su Hao has never seen such species on Earth or the third stage world. They appear dark gray under the light. The plants are about twenty centimeters, with no leaves, only bare stems, and the surface is covered with sharp needles, as if they are special steel needles growing from the soil.

The word "soil" is obviously wrong. There are only hard stones and sand here. Hengrey bent down and grabbed a handful on the ground, spreading it out. There was no sign of softness in the palm of his palm soaked in moisture, but gravel and sand, rubbing back and forth on the surface of the metal handguard to create a low and dumb friction sound.

Mo Xingkui glanced at the gas detector on his wrist, and the tight skin on his face became slightly relaxed: "The air here is pretty good, the oxygen content is 0.72% higher than the normal value, and there are not many toxic substances. The only disadvantage is that it has too little moisture, which is extreme in dry areas."

Su Hao nodded, held the standard short-barrel rifle with a large caliber in his hand, and said lightly: "Bring your equipment and move forward in search of formations. You must find a safe enough area as soon as possible. I hope we are lucky enough to not become fresh meat in the mouths of some monsters."

After walking in the empty darkness for more than forty minutes, the light behind the clouds gradually increased. Although it was still dark between the world, it was enough for outside explorers to see the world clearly.

Everything is gray and light brown. Whether it is rocks or sand, they are shrouded in these two colors. There is basically no vegetation, and the forest in the distance also shows its true appearance under the light: it is just a cylindrical rock standing on the wasteland. Although it is hard, it cannot withstand the wind and sun. Many parts of the surface have become sandy. If you touch it gently with your hands, it will "scatter" and roll down.

"I don't like this place. Damn, there is no water at all. It's like a huge sponge. I will suck it clean by the sand whenever I urinate. Hehe, maybe for them, this is the best drink in the world, the best champagne."

Henggerie complained while walking forward. Just as he finished this sentence, less than five seconds later, a small creature about ten centimeters long suddenly jumped out of the sand. This thing looked like a mouse, but it had no fur, with smooth appearance and covered with fine scales. Obviously, it had been lurking under the sand layer, and the vibrations made by Su Hao and others trampling on the ground disturbed it. Just as the creature had just jumped out and wanted to escape, a needle-shaped plant next to it suddenly stretched out and pierced more than a dozen hard and sharp needles deep into its body.

Su Hao and the other two stopped and silently watched the scene that happened in front of them.

The poor little thing could not struggle at all, and was directly penetrated by countless needles. Its body quickly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there was no blood flowing. The needle-like plant seemed to absorb the flesh and blood through the plants. In just a few minutes, the prey had shrunk to only one quarter of it. It was firmly absorbed on the surface of the plant, like a piece of skin that was sunken.

The plants became more vivid and even grew taller.

Mo Xingkui was curious about this change. He pulled out the fighting knife and used the sharp tip to provoke the plants. The hard needle pricks immediately came up and stabbed them back and forth on the knife, making a "ding-ding-dinking" sound. Perhaps because he realized that the fighting knife was not a flesh-and-blood creature, the plants quickly lost interest, and the fierce hard pricks also shrank back and returned to their static state.

Henggeri glanced at the environmental tester on his arm and looked surprised: "There is actually a slight radiation index here. From stones to sand, there are also these plants. It's just not strong and cannot harm us."

Su Hao nodded silently, raised his hand, and made a move to continue moving forward.

Under the control of the muscles, the power armor maintains a speed of about 20 kilometers per hour. This is equivalent to an adult running. Although there is a set of small magnetic levitation thruster parts in the backpack that can be spliced, Su Hao does not intend to spend time on it. He is unfamiliar with this place and before he finds a real safe area, any unnecessary movement is unnecessary.

In front of a huge rock dozens of meters high, the three people stopped.

The rock showed a strange brown-red red color with dense and tiny holes on the surface. According to the geological standards of the third stage world, this rock should be rich in metal, and in fact it was the case. After Mo Xingkui scraped off a little rock powder and poured it into the test solution carefully, the metal detector immediately showed an exciting blue light.

"It turned out to be blue, it turned out to be blue"

Henggeri and Mo Xingkui were both attracted by the faint blue light on the detector, which was difficult to contain. They screamed in surprise.

Only ores rich in "zirconium" belong to the third stage of the world's important mineral classification standard. It is a classification with the same color as crystal: the most common and most common metal minerals, which are displayed as white light on the detector. Minerals such as zircon are scarce in number and belong to the higher-grade blue. If it is a more rare rare gold, it is purple light and red light.

Even the white standard veins have high mining value. Ores in strange spaces are usually of high quality and of high quality. As long as a white vein is found, Su Hao can establish new settlements and bases here. Even if there is nothing here and there is no water necessary to maintain life, Su Hao can maintain it through material exchanges between the space domain and the empire and make profits.

The value of zircon is far greater than that of ordinary white ores.
