Chapter 660 Victory City Investigation - Red-skinned Little Giant
Dawn 17 years.
There are still two years before the appearance of the equipment black hole.
This year Feng Qi is 85 years old.
With the help of resources provided by the Elf City, the development of Star City has solved the problem of severe resource shortage in the early stage, and the development is booming.
But the problem of resource shortage has not been completely solved.
The previous timeline left too many system designs, and the modern Star City can only choose a part of them to focus on development, and many system constructions must be postponed.
In the past year, Feng Qi has been busy with one thing.
Form a team to investigate Victory City.
The situation of Future City and Old City is already very clear. Future
City is controlled by the Black Shadow Force, and this force is essentially controlled by Black Xuan of Old City in secret.
In order to overthrow the Psychic Clan of the Clan, Black Xuan has many layouts in secret.
The Future City where the Black Shadow is located is one of Black Xuan's layouts, including snatching Mo who was imprisoned by the Psychic Clan of the Clan, which was all secretly planned by Black Xuan.
On the surface, Black Shadow is a traitor of the psychic race, but secretly he is still loyal to Hei Xuan, and develops black technology for Hei Xuan to compete with the psychic race of the clan faction.
Feng Qi guessed that creating Xiao Hei was one of Hei Xuan's plans.
Mo is the core of this plan. Unlike Hei Xuan who wants to reform the psychic race, Mo is very happy to see the internal struggles of the psychic race, and is willing to provide Hei Xuan with various technologies to compete with the psychic race of the clan faction.
The Old City is controlled by the psychic race of the Hei Xuan faction.
Compared with the psychic race of the clan faction, the psychic race controlled by Hei Xuan is far weaker than the psychic race of the clan faction in terms of comprehensive strength.
In the previous timeline, he and Lao Mi worked for Hei Xuan and had a lot of knowledge about the psychic race of the Hei Xuan faction.
One thing that can be made clear is that the development of the psychic race of the Hei Xuan faction often requires the support of the clan faction, otherwise there will not be enough resources for development and consumption.
This is also the reason why he has not dared to touch Hei Xuan so far.
Hei Xuan has the support of the psychic tribe of the clan faction. If he dares to move, Hei Xuan will definitely ask for help from the psychic tribe of the clan faction.
The psychic tribe of the clan faction has mastered many miraculous items, and it is easy for them to destroy the human race.
The only unclear environment is Victory City.
He has been to this city before, but he has no idea whether there are hidden forces in the domain in this city, or whether it is controlled by the domain forces.
Many existing intelligence can prove that Victory City is very likely not controlled by the domain forces.
For example, when he led the Star City military to attack Future City, both the Old City and the Winter City chose to watch the battle in silence and were unwilling to intervene.
But Victory City sent the strongest warriors to form a team to Future City to try to prevent the war from fermenting.
At that time, there was a warrior from Victory City that impressed Feng Qi.
His name is Jiang Nanqiu, one of the legendary warriors of the human race decades ago, and he was recorded in history.
When they met in Future City, Jiangnan Qiu's hair was gray and he was already in his twilight years, but his fighting power was extremely strong. His body was broken several times and he could rely on the miracle gems embedded in his body to heal automatically.
However, he was old and miracle items had specific effects. They could give Jiangnan Qiu extremely strong power, but they could not prolong his life.
The serious aging of his body functions made Jiangnan Qiu unable to withstand high-intensity battles and eventually died.
But the miracle item with five gems performed really well. It was a rare miracle item that could directly enhance the fighting power of the holder.
He watched the whole battle at that time and roughly analyzed the effects of the miracle items with five gems.
Whenever the black gem embedded in his chest lights up, Jiangnan Qiu's strength will be greatly improved, and he will gain the power blessing beyond the limit of his physical body, and he can even compete head-on with Mu Qing who has the blessing of scarlet power. Whenever
the blue gem lights up, Jiangnan Qiu's speed will break through the limit of his own physical body and be greatly enhanced. At that time, Feng Qi's naked eyes could not even see Jiangnan Qiu's movements.
Whenever the green gem lights up, Jiang Nanqiu will have the ability of immortality. Even if his body is broken into pieces by Mu Qing, he can condense and heal in the blink of an eye. Even if he is broken into pieces, he can still reassemble his body.
Whenever the red gem lights up, Jiang Nanqiu will not need to outline the magic he releases, and the power of the magic he releases will be unimaginably increased.
The last golden gem gives Jiang Nanqiu the ability to charge infinitely.
If the blood and spiritual energy in the body are over-consumed, they will be fully recharged the moment the golden gem lights up.
The miracle item composed of these five gems is very powerful, but Jiang Nanqiu's human body cannot bring the miracle items of the five gems to their full potential.
This is similar to the strengthening gem in his hand.
The strengthening effect of the strengthening gem is affected by the quality of the inlaid item. It can only increase the strengthening effect to the limit of the material that the inlaid item can withstand, and cannot break through the upper limit of the material.
Jiang Nanqiu's situation is similar.
At that time, the war with Future City, the participation of the forces of Victory City was beyond his expectations.
He and the think tank of the Scarlet Research Institute analyzed the reasons and came to the conclusion that Victory City was not controlled by the domain forces. Humans dominated the development of Victory City and secretly formed many organizations to fight against the latent forces in the domain.
But there is no clear answer to the specific truth.
In this timeline, he decided to investigate the development of Victory City, especially whether there are domain creatures lurking in the institutions of Victory City.
If Victory City is confirmed to be credible, Victory City will become an ally of Star City in this timeline.
When Dawn City is established in the future, the residents of Victory City will move to Dawn City like Winter City and become residents of Dawn City.
As long as Victory City is confirmed to be reliable, Victory City can be included in the alliance of Star City as soon as the new sacrifice line is opened in the future, and can provide resources and other aspects of support for the development of Star City to accelerate the development of the human race.
The answers to all this need time to investigate and reveal.
For this reason, Feng Qi formed a team specifically responsible for investigating Victory City. There are a total of 107 team members. They will enter Victory City in the name of learning exchanges, business trade, etc., and provide relevant intelligence messages back to Star City from time to time.
The identity information of each person in this team is encrypted in the Star City database. The youngest is only 16 years old, and the oldest is a 67-year-old old man.
Before sending them to Victory City, Feng Qi summoned them to the military and asked the military to train their abilities.
Deep down, Feng Qi hoped that the situation in Victory City would be as he thought, not yet controlled by the domain creatures, and he also looked forward to the joining of a new ally.
...
Two years passed in a flash.
Dawn 19.
This year Feng Qi began to integrate the resources of Star City and convert all the resources transported from Elf City into blood crystals in Destiny City.
The price of resources will fluctuate periodically, and the price at each time point is different.
For example, if a war breaks out between several major forces in Destiny City, they will sweep the resources in Destiny City, causing the price of some resources to rise sharply.
Although many resources have a clear price curve, it is very cumbersome to directly use resources to purchase goods provided by other races.
In contrast, blood crystals are the best universal currency, which can be used for cultivation and can also be used to replace resources for equivalent transactions.
The domain creature who sold the equipment black hole at that time was because he lost a lot of money in the city of destiny, so he sold it for 1 billion and wanted to go to the casino to make up for his losses. He obviously would not accept direct transactions with resources .
After all, one of the chips on the gambling table in the city of destiny is blood crystal stone, and resources cannot be directly put on the table as chips.
Therefore, converting resources into blood crystal stone is the first step to buy equipment black holes.
During this period, the workload of the messenger of destiny skyrocketed. They had to connect with different middlemen in the city of destiny, and they had to ensure that the price of the resources was reasonable and the process of selling resources was smooth.
Knowledge is the stepping stone to wealth, and this sentence is most applicable in the city of destiny.
Although the business ability of the first two batches of the messengers of destiny was rusty, the knowledge they learned was absolutely reliable. This is the precious experience and wealth left by the human race in the previous timeline and the city of destiny for hundreds of years.
The information in the faith database even marked which old merchants were more reliable and which middlemen would cheat newcomers.
The predecessors have opened up the road, and the descendants only need to follow the path opened up by the predecessors.
The resources sent by the Elf City were equivalent to 930 million blood crystals. It seemed a lot, but for the huge trading market of Destiny City, it was just a wave in the sea.
Feng Qi thought that it would take more than a month to sell this batch of resources at a reasonable price.
As a result, the Destiny Messenger was busy for three days and sold out all the resources. This was only after contacting a very small number of merchants on the list.
It can be seen that the market is huge and the circulation rate of resources and wealth is very high.
According to the news sent back by the Destiny Messenger, there was a businessman who was even willing to take the resource sale order directly, but the bid was only 920 million, and the deal was not reached in the end.
The day after all the resources were sold, a blood-colored crystal card was sent to Feng Qi's office.
It was sent by the head of the Destiny Messenger Department in person.
The value of the blood-colored crystal card itself is not high. If it is not endorsed by Destiny City, the blood-colored crystal card cannot be sold at a price.
But with the endorsement of Destiny City, this blood-colored crystal card is equivalent to a human bank card, which can be used to take out the stored blood stones in Destiny City at any time and transport them back to Star City.
After scanning the balance of the bloodstone card with his consciousness, Feng Qi found that the total amount of bloodstones exchanged for the sale of resources this time was 983 million.
When he saw the balance, Feng Qi was also stunned.
After a short silence, a smile appeared on his face. He knew that the Elf King had obviously miscalculated the resources.
But it was not the Elf King's fault. The prices of many resources in Destiny City were constantly fluctuating. The Elf King could only calculate the approximate value of the resources and then send them to Star City. The Elf
King had no messengers who had contact with Destiny City. The price of resources was calculated based on experience, but there was no fixed reference object.
The extra income was completely unexpected in Feng Qi's eyes, just right for the development of Star City.
...
There was still a month before the sale of the equipment black hole, Feng Qi came to Destiny City in advance and brought Xiao You with him.
Now he has two bloodstone cards in his hand, one of which is 983 million from the sale of the resources sent from the Elf City, and the other is 90 million bloodstones obtained from the sale of the resources of Winter City and Star City in Destiny City.
Bringing Xiaoyou to Star City, Feng Qi spent three days looking for an empty stall.
Just like last time, he took out the space bracelets that Xiaoyou had made over the years from his space bracelet and started selling them.
While there was still time, he was not in a hurry to sell them.
This time, Feng Qi marked the price of the space bracelet at 1.05 million blood stones, further reducing the profits of middlemen.
During the stall sale, Xiaoyou seemed very eager and kept calling passers-by to come and have a look.
In Xiaoyou's eyes, the space bracelet is the fruit of her hard work day and night, and it is of great significance.
A total of 80 space bracelets were sold out in two days, in exchange for 80.5 million blood stones.
Now the blood crystals in Fengqi's hand have reached 1.1635 billion.
Next, he began to wait in the East District where he first saw the equipment black hole for sale in his memory.
The waiting process was a bit long. During the period, Fengqi and Xiaoyou did not leave when they were thirsty or hungry. They took out the food prepared in advance from the space bracelet to maintain their physical strength, fearing that the butterfly effect would affect the equipment black hole and cause it to be sold in advance.
During this period, Feng Qi was a little worried, thinking that the butterfly effect might cause the equipment black hole that should have been sold to not be sold in this timeline. In
this timeline, the human race came into contact with the Destiny City in advance. Although it did not have a big impact, many subtle effects would have a far-reaching impact under the catalysis of time, causing things that should have happened to disappear due to a chain reaction of a series of small events.
On the 18th day of squatting, Feng Qi saw a familiar figure appear.
This was a three-meter-tall red-skinned little giant with pockmarks on his skin. He had a round figure, and the flesh on his body would tremble when he walked, and he looked very bloated.
Feng Qi was deeply impressed by the creatures in this field.
He clearly remembered that it was this guy who sold the stall equipment black hole for 1 billion.
At this time, its expression was very anxious. After finding an open space not far away, it took out a bunch of items from the space props it carried with it to sell.
Compared with the time in memory, the time when the red-skinned little giant appeared was more than ten days earlier.
But Feng Qi did not act in a hurry.
He found that among the various resources and props placed on the ground by the red-skinned little giant, there was no pseudo-miracle item equipment black hole.
This made him realize that this guy had not lost completely and did not intend to take out the equipment black hole for gambling money.
It can be seen that the red-skinned little giant was obviously losing red eyes. The resources and props carried in the portable space props were quickly sold at a price lower than the market price, which gave him the feeling of throwing goods.
This is also the piglet in the eyes of the fate merchant. If you encounter it, you will definitely be able to pick up leaks and make a lot of money.
But in Feng Qi's eyes, the red-skinned little giant is now selling small items, which are not worth mentioning compared to the value of the equipment black hole, so he did not buy it, fearing that his appearance and contact with the red-skinned little giant would turn it into winning money in the future.
Less than ten minutes after setting up the stall, the little giant left with the bloodstone card.
Seeing this, Feng Qi immediately followed behind, intending to pay attention to the development of the situation throughout the process, so that when the red-skinned little giant set up a stall to sell the equipment black hole, he could also take it in time.
Arriving at the corner of the trading market, Feng Qi followed the red-skinned little giant and took the space transmission elevator to the 67th floor, which was the floor of the illustrated war game.
Here, he saw the little giant excitedly began to search for an empty gambling table.
During this period, he followed from a distance, not wanting to contact the little giant too early, just hoping that the little giant would lose everything quickly.
If it doesn't continue to lose, how can it make money.
It must lose, lose to death.
Then go bankrupt in exchange for bloodstones to create an opportunity for him to take down the equipment black hole.
Soon, the red-skinned little giant came to an empty illustrated game table. The opponent was an elemental life, whose body was composed of pure water elements.
Without communication, the little giant immediately started the illustrated game with the water element.
As time passed, Feng Qi discovered that the red-skinned little giant actually won three games in a row in the game with the water element.
This made Feng Qi seriously doubt that it was the influence of the butterfly effect caused by himself.
After losing three games in a row, the water element life took the initiative to leave, unwilling to continue the game with the red-skinned little giant, while the red-skinned little giant seemed very proud and smiling.
In the following time, the red-skinned little giant did not participate in the game, but took the space transmission elevator to the restaurant on the underground floor of Destiny City.
This was also the first time Feng Qi came to the restaurant in Destiny City.
The food here is varied. In addition to the food sold by the official Destiny City, there are also many domain creatures selling special food.
Following the red-skinned little giant, Feng Qi was able to open his eyes.
In addition to those foods that smell and look delicious, there are also many foods that are simply dark cuisines in human aesthetics.
For example, the blue viscous liquid, which is a living creature, exudes bursts of strange smells.
Another example is a red stone with a high-temperature flame burning on the surface. As soon as he approached him, he felt a heat wave coming, but there were domain creatures who regarded this spiritual ore as delicious and were willing to spend bloodstone to buy it.
The red-skinned little giant who won the money feasted on the underground floor, eating half and wasting half, and did not regard money as money at all.
During this period, Xiaoyou seemed very active and wanted to try everything.
But after all, he had something important to do, so he just bought Xiaoyou a box of food that met human aesthetics, and then hurriedly caught up with the red-skinned little giant again.
Time came to a week later.
The red-skinned little giant won money most of the time, and rarely lost money.
Just when Fengqi suspected that this timeline had been changed, the red-skinned little giant left the 67th floor of the illustrated game venue and came to the highest 88th floor.
This floor is one of the most intense floors for gaming, gathering a large number of gamblers with high stakes.
Seeing the red-skinned little giant coming here, Fengqi immediately felt that there was a chance, and began to wait quietly, muttering in his heart:
"Lose! Lose! Lose!"
The fact was just as he guessed. The red-skinned little giant had a smooth first two games and won a lot of blood crystals, but things started to go wrong from the third game. He changed several opponents in succession and ended up losing money. The
unwilling red-skinned little giant began to place heavy bets, trying to win back all the blood crystals he lost before by placing heavy bets.
At this time, the red-skinned little giant had lost his eyes.
Just as Feng Qi guessed, in less than a day, the little red-skinned giant had squandered all the blood crystals in his hand.
Without funds to continue betting, the little red-skinned giant slapped himself several times after leaving the gambling table. After standing aside in silence for a long time, he walked towards the space teleportation array in the corner of the 88th floor.
Seeing this, Feng Qi immediately followed Xiao You.
He had a hunch that this prodigal had completely lost his money and would sell his family's "equipment black hole" in exchange for gambling money.
