Hearing the key words, Qiao Bai pricked up his ears subconsciously. Huang Zhou's voice gradually became lower and he could not hear anything else.

Qiao Bai couldn't help but think about this word that sounded very familiar.

This world with extraordinary creatures is more than twice as large as Earth. Excluding 70% of the ocean, the land area has also increased by an unknown amount.

Humans have built cities and civilizations in places that can be fully explored and are relatively safe, but the land they occupy is ultimately limited.

Every country and every city has "forbidden places" that have not been fully explored.

Strong or weak wild supernatural creatures, various herbs, minerals...and more importantly, dangers and the law of the jungle can be found everywhere.

Unruly supernatural creatures occupy the wild land and fight each other, making the place full of blood and violence.

It is also full of opportunities and resources.

As long as one is a beastmaster, no matter his level, he will have a need for forbidden land.

Surrounding the forbidden land, ordinary people and beastmasters have established special business circles, exploration teams, exchange markets... and so on.

Therefore, even though the forbidden land is full of dangers, it still becomes the second industrial chain of every city.

With Jinyang City being the provincial capital, NY City, which belongs to the same province as Jinyang City, has been able to develop so rapidly and is in no way inferior to Jinyang City, which has top universities. This is because the forbidden land is within the jurisdiction of NY City.

Although only 35% of the forbidden land in NY City has been explored and developed, there is never a shortage of Beast Tamers coming and going because some of the developed resources include the Flame Fruit, which is the favorite of fire-attributed pets, can purify flames, and is indispensable for the evolution of certain pets.

The annual income is also considerable.

Minerals are also a special resource. Their full name is underground veins, which are divided into active mines and dead mines.

Live ore refers to a vein that can be mined and can produce ores with specific properties; dead ore refers to a vein that cannot be mined and has a large amount of energy with specific properties flowing underground.

If a mine can be found in the forbidden land, whether it is a living mine or a dead mine, it will be sought after by countless beastmasters.

Live mines can obtain a large amount of fixed resources. Although the energy contained in ores of specific properties is not as abundant and pure as that contained in energy stones of the same properties, and their utility is not as good, they are better in quantity! Cheap! Full of energy! (crossed out)

That’s what I mean anyway.

The reason why no ore can be mined from the dead mine is because the energy is not yet dense enough to condense into a solid entity, but training and practicing with pets of corresponding attributes in it can also achieve twice the result with half the effort. If you are lucky, you can also dig up herbs with specific properties within the range of the mine.

Due to the value of those special grade herbs, some dead mines are more popular than living mines.

Qiao Bai heard what Huang Zhou meant. This is... a forbidden place in NY City. A new mine has been discovered? About half an hour later, Huang Zhou hung up the phone and walked towards Qiao Bai with an apologetic look on his face: "I've left you waiting here. I really can't help but deal with it!"

"Uncle Huang is the president of the NY City Beast Taming Alliance, so it's normal for him to be busy." Qiao Bai shook his head and said without any concern, "I'm sorry for wasting your time today because of my business."

Seeing that Qiao Bai really had no grudges at all, Huangzhou felt better about Qiao Bai.

Originally, he was nice to Qiao Bai for the sake of the honey bug's evolution. In addition, Zhou Xinran's great gratitude to Qiao Bai made Huang Zhou see Qiao Bai's potential value. He was willing to spend more time and effort dealing with Qiao Bai, which could be regarded as a potential investment in Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai's tactful approach, calmness and modesty made Huangzhou even more satisfied with him.

Thinking about Qiao Bai's age and the contributions he had made, Huang Zhou became more and more convinced that Qiao Bai was definitely not an ordinary person and that it was only a matter of time before he would take off. It was a very correct choice to establish a friendly relationship with Qiao Bai as soon as possible.

Huang Zhou took Qiao Bai to the printing equipment room next door and chatted with Qiao Bai.

With both parties intending to maintain their relationship, the two men, who were quite different in age, chatted back and forth. Seeing that they were almost at the same level, Qiao Bai asked with a gentle smile and a bit of curiosity: "Uncle Huang, when you were on the phone just now, I heard you say... a mine, has a new mine been discovered in the forbidden land of NY City?"

Qiao Bai paused, glanced at Huang Zhou's expression, and seeing that he was not angry, he continued: "Can you tell me this? I just happened to hear it and I'm a little curious."

Huangzhou was indeed not angry.

He answered the phone in front of Qiao Bai, so it was normal for Qiao Bai to accidentally hear some of his words. Add to that the temptation of the mine...even the adults on the other end of the phone couldn't resist it, so he wasn't so harsh as to ask Qiao Bai to be indifferent.

"This is undoubtedly a huge resource for NY City and the Beast Tamers."

Qiao Bai agreed with this statement very much. For beastmasters, minerals do have an irresistible attraction.

He couldn't help but ask, "Live mine or dead mine?"

"It is still uncertain at the moment. According to preliminary exploration, the energy contained in the mine is very abundant, but whether or not the ore can be mined requires further exploration and research." Huang Zhou shook his head and continued, "There is a reason why it is not open to the public for the time being. The degree of danger is unknown, and we need to find an exploration team to determine it."

Qiao Bai nodded.

I understand.

Discovering mineral deposits is a happy thing, but the specific conditions and risk factors of the mineral deposits will require time for further investigation.

But... this is a fire-attributed mine. It's hard for Qiao Bai not to be excited after hearing this!

Especially if this mine is a dead mine, it is like a shining light in the darkness for Qiao Bai.

The spirit fire that he was worried about, some special herbs in the fire-attributed dead mine, can help fire-attributed pets improve their control over flames. Some pets with higher inspiration values ​​can even directly control the spirit fire.

Think about it, after Xiaowu evolves, he will become a three-legged golden crow, so his sensitivity must not be too low! Qiao Bai had considered finding a dead fire mine to try his luck.

However, the three existing dead fire mines in the country have existed for more than fifty years after their development, and the fire beast masters who come and go have already scraped the land.

He wanted to go in and find some useful herbs? I'm afraid the chances of winning a lottery ticket would be higher than this.

But now a brand new mine that has never been developed or explored has been discovered in NY City, and it has a fire attribute.

How could Qiao Bai not be moved? It 's not like he had quit smoking in his previous life!

Even if this is not a dead mine, but a live mine...Qiao Bai thought of Qi Yue's little fire fox. This is also a very good opportunity for the little fire fox.

Although the fire attribute energy in the air after solidification in the live ore is not as much as that in the dead ore, it is more suitable for fire attribute pets to practice than ordinary places. Let the little fire fox stay in the environment of the underground mine for ten days or half a month...

It should be able to evolve once it comes out!

Thinking of this, Qiao Bai made up his mind. He looked at Huang Zhou who had already started to print his ID card and said, "Uncle Huang...Look, if you are looking for someone to go into the mine to explore, can you add me?"

Huangzhou was stunned when he heard this, and the only sound in the room was the "clicking" sound of the instrument printer.

Obviously, Huangzhou did not expect Qiao Bai to make such a...dangerous proposal.

"The mining area is not a fun place, and your pet is not of fire attribute, right?" Huang Zhou neither refused nor agreed.

When Qiao Bai heard this, he felt there was hope, provided that there was a reason that could convince Huang Zhou.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and Qiao Bai quickly came up with a statement that was in line with Huangzhou's interests and his identity.

He smiled slightly.

This is because Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei were not present, otherwise they would have recognized it immediately. This smile, it is this smile! Qiao Bai used this smile to fool them!

Now, Qiao Bai is going to start a new trick!

"President Huang." Qiao Bai changed back to the official title: "Are you interested in hearing about my recent research?"
