Chapter 284: One Step, Three Steps Ahead
"Water, water..." This scene is so familiar, but the person has changed from Qian Zebei to Xie Yu.
Xie Yu was very concerned about his image. He held the teapot and poured several cups before he recovered. "Youyou--"
Seeing this tone, Chu Xu bared his teeth and touched his arm exaggeratedly. He didn't even bother to talk to Xie Yu and looked directly at Yun Xiang, "That's it, do you want it?"
Yun Xiang blinked and waited for what was to come.
As expected, Chu Xu only paused for a moment, "Do some work, babbling, workers don't act like workers, just tell them to quit - Ah, be gentle, be gentle, Xie Yu, I... your uncle!"
Chu Xu covered his ears and said angrily, "I'm the commander!"
Xie Yu and he were in the control group. He said slowly, "I am the governor."
"Oh, I'm quitting and going home to inherit the family business."
"Oh, I was kicked out the moment I walked in!" His father hated people who gave up halfway. To put it bluntly, if you don't work hard until you die, you probably won't be able to go back.
"It's all your fault!"
"I caused it? We're not brothers anymore?"
"No more!"
"If you don't do it, then don't do it!"
The two of them were still not satisfied after talking, and they sat back to back, not looking at each other. It was so childish.
Jin Jiamin glanced at Yun Xiang. "How about we go first?" The four of them finally got together, but after just a few words, they started arguing. It was really... I couldn't say anything to them.
"Hey, hey, you two are just sitting there like this?" Chu Xu looked at the two people watching the show with dissatisfaction.
"So?" Jin Jiaren crossed his arms, his eyes sharp and imposing. Chu Xu was intimidated by him and muttered, but he didn't dare to speak.
Yun Xiang laughed at this and said, "You two have so much free time. Instead of arguing, you might as well have a fight. Whoever knocks the other down will save this meal."
"..." Is there anyone who tries to stop a fight like this? The two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding, then turned their heads away.
"Hey, what's wrong with you today?" Chu Xu asked in a rough voice. Although his tone was bad, his intention to make peace was obvious.
Xie Yu naturally wouldn't let go of the olive branch he threw out, "It's still those people. They all know about our coal business, but they pretend not to know and beat around the bush.
Humph, since they don't tell me, I naturally don't know what they already know, so I have no choice but to beat around the bush and talk until my mouth is dry."
"Pfft...what happened in the end?"
"Of course it's exposed. If it's not exposed, today's meeting will be in vain."
"So, they believe what you say?"
"It's up to them whether they believe it or not. I've told them the solution, but it's up to them whether they follow it or not." Xie Yu felt a headache coming on. "This meeting is really terrible."
Yun Xiang thought about it for a moment and figured it out. "Did they ask you to buy the mineral-eating beast?"
"Really? Do you think I can give it to them? We don't even have enough for our own family, why should we sell it to them?"
"I guess it will be another round of arguing."
"Oh, national justice is coming out." Xie Yu said sarcastically, "Talk nicely. If I don't agree this time, I might agree next time. You threaten me with this, just wait and see!"
"That's what we should do! Is the Emperor Star De-Icing Agent out?"
"Well, I guess someone will be going on a mission tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Let's take a look at the situation first and then make plans."
"Let's go to the mining planet!"
"Is there any choice? Aside from the ore-eating beasts, there are basically no mutant beasts on the mining planet, so it's relatively safe. Besides, collecting coal is the top priority right now."
"Did you deliberately wait until the melting agent came out before letting people leak the news?" Jin Jiamin looked at Xie Yu suspiciously.
This guy has been consul for several years and has become more and more cunning.
"If they knew it too early, they would definitely join forces—" Xie Yu dipped his tea in the water and wrote the word 'Emperor' on the table, "to pressure us. Then we'd have no choice, even if we didn't want to.
With this gap, if they cannot buy, they will choose to go on missions. Some even suspect that we will take the opportunity to ask for a high price and would rather go on missions than buy from us.
Today's meeting is mostly just a test of the waters, and we'll make real plans after we return from the mission."
"The mission will certainly be difficult, but there will definitely be rewards. What I'm worried about is the output of the mineral-eating beasts after the thousand-year catastrophe. If it's too little, it won't be worth it."
Yun Xiang narrowed his eyes unconsciously. He felt somewhat similar to Xie Yu. "I'm afraid they will look for us again after they turn around."
"So the next step is to have Qi Bing train a few breeders."
"You want to attribute the cause to the breeding method." Yun Xiang was stunned. Xie Yu showed a cunning smile, "It's possible. Things like this always need to be tested one by one."
"...You are so awesome!" Yun Xiang couldn't think three steps ahead.
Jin Jiaren glanced at him and asked, "Is there another reason?"
"No, but by then, our equipment will have been modified and ready for sale. With the east wind, we can make a killing. The only thing we'll have to consider is whether the temperature will warm up. If it does, the mineral-eating beasts won't be our only option."
"I can sell the furnace blueprints too!"
"You can also make a lot of money by modifying power generation equipment."
…
Xie Yu couldn't help laughing, it seemed that he had opened the way to wealth for the three of them.
The four of them laughed and joked for a while, then finally remembered they wanted to eat, so they quickly took the menu and ordered.
Yun Xiang suddenly thought of something, "We were killed on Weiyang Star, and the families of our team members have sent people to look for us. Why don't we send them some mineral-eating beasts?" Everyone is giving and receiving, and anyone who has difficulties can help each other.
"I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it!" Xie Yu was still thinking about it when he came, but forgot what he said after a while. "Just finished a batch of production, I'll give you some big and small ones."
"How much is appropriate?"
"Sixty per family is enough for the average family. Coal burns well. The Chu family and the Jin family each have three hundred." Xie Yu paused, considering that Jin Jiaren's relationship with the Jin family was average, and then said, "Here you go. You can take it home or let the breeder continue to raise it for you. It's up to you."
Jin Jiamin nodded.
"You Hao, Tong You, Li Zixi and the others each have 200, that's about enough."
After Xie Yu finished dividing the food, the dishes arrived. They ate happily and then went about their business.
Sure enough, within two days, the de-icing agent was released, and teams from many planets chose to go on the mission. Since the situation on the mission planet was unclear, teams that were familiar with each other directly joined forces and fought together.
The mission was more difficult than expected. Although the first generation of ice melting agent could successfully melt the ice, the duration was very short. It melted at the beginning but solidified again before it could completely penetrate.
Fortunately, most of the mines were intact, with only the entrances covered in snow. This was not a good thing for them.
The mineral-eating beast itself is an energy beast. It is more cold-resistant than other beasts. It hides in the mine and is not easily affected by ice and snow. It is still, no, more lively than before.
Because the combat power has been upgraded!
After a few moves, all the people on the mission were injured. After spending a huge amount of money, they returned empty-handed. How could they be willing to go ahead and catch them?
After spending several days and being beaten to a pulp, I finally managed to collect enough. Having reached my goal, I didn't catch any more than I needed, and immediately returned home.
The losses in the mission were too great, so they placed their hopes on the ore-eating beasts. However, the coal production of the ore-eating beasts was pitifully small, counted in pieces, not baskets, and was far less than what Yun Xiang had collected in the mine at that time.
Compared with the falling stars now, they are not even qualified to be compared.
