A few minutes later, a ravine several tens of meters long, widening from narrow to wide, appeared on the snowfield.
Inside the snow pit.
Zhou Xiao sat to one side, silently sheathing Kafka's dark red longsword. Then, his gaze fell on the bearded group huddled together not far away, fixing on the fourth brother's face as he spoke:
"How exactly is it eaten?"
“...”
"Brother, please have mercy and spare our lives." The burly man with the big beard really hadn't expected Zhou Xiao to be so strong.
Zhou Xiao's casual slash completely overturned their understanding, almost making them think that a hemorrhage was about to occur.
"What is that white square thing...?" Zhou Xiao suspected it was his phone, but he had no proof.
Hearing his question, the bearded man hesitated for a second before speaking:
"It was an ancient mechanical core, but it's been stolen by someone..."
"Mechanical...core."
Zhou Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.
The mechanical core from Yalilo VI... seems to be worth studying.
"I see..."
...
Another ten minutes or so passed.
Zhou Xiao picked up the white mechanical core from a snowdrift on the snowfield.
"Brother, this is the mechanical core. It looks quite old. As you know, the wealthy people in the upper district like to collect antiques and relics..."
The burly man with the big beard slowly began to introduce himself, with the fifth brother, whose face had been beaten into a pig's head, standing behind him.
With Zhou Xiao's "help," this treasure-hunting gang—no, it should be said that the treasure-hunting team—found the traitor within their ranks.
This fifth brother looks honest and simple, but he's actually quite cunning. He hid the mechanical core when no one was looking, and only after the others beat him up did he reveal the exact location of the mechanical core.
Within view was a white, square mechanical core, roughly the size of a small engine, with a metal casing and relatively well-preserved internal mechanical wiring...
Zhou Xiao checked it briefly and found that it should still be usable after some modifications.
“This…” Zhou Xiao pointed to the mechanical core, then looked at the burly, bearded man and asked:
How much are you planning to sell this for?
"Money?" The burly man with the big beard was taken aback when he heard the question.
I couldn't help but gain a new understanding of Zhou Xiao.
A while later.
Zhou Xiao got the mechanical core as he wished, while the bearded man, holding a lot of credits, fell into deep thought.
None of my family members understand.
Today I met a very reasonable treasure hunter.
He could have just robbed us, but he still gave us the money...
As for the price... it's incredibly low.
They broke the bone directly.
Most importantly, this money doesn't even seem to be Berloberg's currency...
After a short time, the group finally returned to the core area of the lower district—Panyan Town.
It must be said that the town of Panyan, hidden in the underground mining area, is very impressive, with the visual feel of an old-fashioned industrial town.
"It's still up to you guys to have connections," Zhou Xiao said to the treasure hunters behind him.
If it weren't for these "locals" leading the way, he would never have been able to find the mine shaft and enter the lower area in the snowfield.
"You flatter me..." The burly bearded man gave an awkward smile, his expression somewhat unnatural.
They led the way with trepidation, increasingly convinced that this powerful young man was not one of their kind.
He seemed like an outsider.
Of course.
They didn't dare to ask anything.
After all, even though the other party has some principles, they are few and far between.
"Now that you've shown me the way, let's part ways here."
Hearing Zhou Xiao say this, the treasure hunters immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"You're busy, just call us if you need anything..."
After saying that, they turned to leave, but unexpectedly, Zhou Xiao stopped them again without any politeness.
"Is there... anything else?" The bearded man at the head of the group swallowed hard and then asked.
"Hmm." Zhou Xiao nodded: "Does Panyan Town have any special products?"
"Specialty products?" Upon hearing this name, the treasure hunters all thought of the same thing.
"Specialty substances...that's minerals, and among minerals, only Earth Essence can be considered a specialty."
The marrow of the earth.
This is a type of mineral that can glow and provide warmth; the people in the upper levels rely on burning the earth marrow to provide heat for their heating.
Zhou Xiao nodded and made a mental note of it.
The mission this time is to collect some special resources, and this Earth Essence should obviously be considered a special resource.
After saying goodbye to the "kind person," Zhou Xiao wandered around Panyan Town and discovered that most of this kind of earth marrow was supplied to the upper-level areas. If an individual wanted to buy some high-purity ore separately, the price would naturally be quite high.
Zhou Xiao could only say... he had no money.
Himeko didn't give him any money for shopping before he got off the bus.
That's enough.
Let's go make some money first.
Zhou Xiao did not rush to meet up with San Yueqi, Dan Heng and others.
After all... he also had his own things to do, and the hard work of sealing the star core should be left to March 7 and the others to explore.
...
"A ring competition! Unlimited prize money! A grand stage for combat sports! If you have the skill, come and join us!"
Outside the fight club, a young man responsible for attracting customers was energetically making gimmicks.
Zhou Xiao, who happened to be passing by, stopped in his tracks upon hearing the person's voice.
