“Oh, cooperative mining?”

"The Mysterious Beast Forest is so huge, and I don't own it alone. Anyone can come and dig. Why would the Western Yue Kingdom cooperate with me?"

Ke Wen wanted to say that it was all that damned Imperial Master's bad idea. He cursed the Imperial Master a thousand times in his heart before he said against his will:

"Miss Jun, you may not know that the people of our Xiyue Kingdom are not good at finding minerals. When His Majesty learned that Miss Jun could find minerals on her own, he began to consider forming an alliance with her."

"Oh, so you don't know how to find mines yourself!"

Being hit right in the heart, Ke Wen felt somewhat embarrassed. It was not that the Western Yue Kingdom did not know how to find minerals, but they were sure that they could not find any in the Xuan Beast Forest with their own abilities.

"Then what benefits can I get from cooperating with you?"

After hearing what Jun Shutong said, Ke Wen felt that there was a chance.

"If we cooperate with Miss Jun, you will only be responsible for finding the location of the mineral deposit, and Xiyue will be responsible for the manpower, material resources, and financial resources. We will split the funds 50-50. What do you think, Miss Jun?"

"Nothing."

Jun Shutong forced a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

Ke Wen was not discouraged: "As far as I know, Miss Jun did not bring many people with her when she came from Dayu. I wonder if these people are enough?"

"If it's not enough, Xiyue can provide support, no matter how much."

Jun Shutong smiled even brighter, as if something happy had happened.

She has no shortage of manpower, material resources or financial resources. She leaves tens of thousands of orcs who don't want wages unused and goes to cooperate with others, and then asks for half of it to be given away. She is almost crazy.

"It seems that General Ko knows quite a bit about me."

"What if I say I won't cooperate with Xiyue, General?"

Ke Ben was forced to come here. As a six-foot-tall man, he was absolutely unwilling to seize the fruits of other people's labor.

Now that Jun Shutong directly said that he was unwilling to cooperate with Xiyue, he seemed relieved.

What can he do if Jun Shutong doesn't want him to? What else can he do?

Jun Wansheng's combat reputation on the mainland has surpassed his for many years. The titles of "General Ever-Victorious" and "General Protecting the Nation" were earned through fighting on the battlefield.

Although he had thought about competing with Jun Wansheng, that was a real fight on the battlefield, not attacking her daughter behind her back.

"Since Miss Jun is unwilling to cooperate now, I will not force her. I just hope that Miss can reconsider it."

"We will also be looking for minerals in the Mystical Beast Forest. If you have made up your mind, please let me know directly."

Jun Shutong nodded, then turned and left.

Ke Wen looked at the figure going away, then stole a glance at the few people in the team and breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, he can finally look for minerals in the Mystical Beast Forest openly.
