Chapter 10 Greed

Borg was stunned when he saw the first amethyst stone he took out of the thick rubber bag!

These fools don't realize that large pieces of amethyst cannot be compared to small pieces by weight.

For every doubling of the volume of amethyst, the energy it contains increases at least tenfold.

The purple star stone in front of him, the size of a bowl, was a behemoth he had never seen since he started working as a supervisor.

The energy contained within is enough to allow a superpower to break through from B-level to A-level, and if you're lucky enough, you might even be able to break through from A-level to S-level.

If he could really do that, just by handing over this one piece of Purple Star Stone, he would definitely earn a second glance from Hua Jingzhe, the young master of the Hua Jing family.

Perhaps if the young master is in a good mood, he can transfer him from this mining area back to headquarters and give him the status of a bodyguard to serve the young master.

Borg has been in this mining area for two whole years, and he's had enough of the dryness and sandstorms.

Although he could occasionally take advantage of his position as foreman to have sex with a few female mining slaves, he dreamed of returning to headquarters every day.

There are bustling streets, alluring women with fragrant perfumes, casinos and bars—that's the life people should live.

Thinking of this, Borg was so excited that his hands trembled.

Upon seeing this, Matt immediately realized the special nature of this purple star stone.

Because their powers were sealed, they were unable to sense the energy contained within the Purple Star Stone, and even the chestnut's ability to detect energy fluctuations was affected.

He could only see from the infrared scan that the large pieces of purple star stone were a bit darker in color, and could not accurately determine how much energy they contained.

Matt feigned ignorance and asked with a fawning smile, "Uncle Boge, we weighed this piece on an electronic scale. It's a full 28 kilograms, which is equivalent to nine of the average pieces you mentioned, each weighing 3 kilograms."

Including these odds and ends, the total weight is 48.2 kilograms. Now we can all come up and collect our nutrient solutions, right?

"Yes, yes, yes! Absolutely! Brothers, you've done a great job this time. Don't worry, I'll never forget your contributions."

"Come on up, everyone. Today I'm giving each of you a three-day supply of nutritional supplements, six per person, and they're all still fresh! Hahahaha!" Borg laughed heartily.

"Uncle Borg, I can tell that this Purple Star Stone is no ordinary stone!"

"If you ask me, before any of your companions find out, why don't you secretly hide it and sell it later? Wouldn't you be rich then?" Matt whispered in his ear.

"You don't know anything! You think I don't want to make a fortune quietly? But there's our Hua Jing family's private guard protecting the perimeter of this mining area."

They all have B-level or higher superpowers, while I'm only a C-level. I might get the treasure, but I won't live to spend it.

"It would be better to just hand over the treasure. If the young master is happy, I can be transferred back to headquarters from this godforsaken Tara mining area."

Although Bog was reprimanding him, there was no anger or resentment in his tone. He was completely immersed in the excitement of being transferred away from the Tara mining area.

“I see, I was just ignorant. By the way, Lord Borg, where is the headquarters? It must be a very prosperous place, right?” Matt asked with a look of longing.

"Needless to say? The headquarters is located in Tai'a City, the largest city in the south, which is the most prosperous city on Silverwing Star."

To say that it is currently the most prosperous city in the entire Flowing Light Galaxy would be entirely true, because other planets don't have as many slaves as our Silverwing Star, and naturally, they couldn't build such a prosperous city.

Boge looked proud, as if he had become a citizen of Tai'a City.

After getting all the useful information he could, Matt pulled a black vacuum bag from his pocket.

“Sir, I have a wonderful treasure to show you. Shall we go inside and take a look secretly?” Matt said mysteriously.

"My God! Could there be another purple star stone this big? If so, I'll not only be transferred out of the mining area, but I'll definitely get a promotion!"

"I will definitely redeem you then, freeing you from your slavery and making you a free man," Bog said confidently.

Matra opened the seal of the vacuum bag, revealing a corner of the amethyst. Bog immediately covered his mouth with his hand to stifle the scream.

“Come with me!” he whispered.

The two entered an empty room one after the other. Boge casually turned off the mine's surveillance cameras and also deleted the footage of Matt offering up the large piece of purple star stone.

He had just made a daring decision: he planned to secretly absorb one piece and offer the other up.

In this way, no one would suspect that he had embezzled the treasure. After all, who would believe that two giant purple star stones could be dug out in this almost empty abandoned mine?

In fact, Matt and his group were lucky to have met Mao Li, the little prince of the mechanical race.

His infrared scanning eyes are different from those of ordinary robots. In addition to thermal sensing, they also have multiple functions such as electromagnetic induction and ultrasonic detection.

He can determine whether waste rock contains amethyst by observing the outline and color of the stone inside the ore, and he can also accurately determine the size and shape of the amethyst.

In order to obtain more associated poisonous ores, he naturally tried to select large pieces of purple star stone to mine, while the smaller pieces he dug up were to mislead Bog and prevent him from becoming suspicious.

After all, it's normal to accidentally dig up a large piece of purple star stone, but if you dig up large pieces all the time, then there's a problem.

It was also due to Boge's greed that he dug out two large, abnormal pieces without any suspicion. Instead, he took Matt into the room and deleted the surveillance video.

Matt followed behind him, her back hunched, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

But as soon as Borg turned around, his expression changed to one of surprise and delight: "Uncle Borg, you just said you would redeem me, is that true?"

“Of course it’s true. I, Bog, am a man of my word. Why would I lie to a mere alien slave like you?” Bog said shamelessly.

“But if you want to redeem me, will the people above agree?” Matt asked worriedly.
