Chapter 95 The First Cracks Appear
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "Is your ice-melting potion reliable? Why don't you just buy our ice-breaking drill instead?"
Wang Li, a lab technician in Genesis Future's gene research department: "Even if I freeze to death today, even if I jump into the cordon, I will never buy your stuff."
Chen Qing, a lab technician in Genesis Future's genetic research department: "The Age of Voyage is already in the biological age. The era of dealing with disasters by relying on machines is long gone. You guys are too outdated."
"I believe the company will soon develop an ice-melting agent that will be hundreds of times more effective than your crude method of clearing the road."
In the large group chat, the trend is still one-sided towards the company.
However, Mingzhao noticed that after she said a couple of sentences in the group, even more people were sending her private messages asking to buy ice-breaking drill bits.
It seems the company is not as solid as it appears; cracks have already appeared.
What she had to do was to add fuel to the fire in this rift.
Mingzhao and her friends argued with the company staff in the group chat for a while, attracting even more attention.
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "Do as you please, but I must say that we only have so many ice-breaking drills. If you regret it later, you won't be able to buy any more."
People from the company started cursing at her again in the group chat, so Mingzhao simply shut down the group chat to avoid seeing it.
Anyway, her private messages were already flooded with messages at this point.
Next, she waited for the company to develop that ice-melting agent so she could deliver the final blow.
With 30 sets of materials in hand, Mingzhao began crafting the ice fishing artifact again.
This time her efficiency improved a lot, and it's almost become muscle memory.
Soon, all 30 ice fishing devices were ready.
Mingzhao's success rate in doing this is also 80%.
I glanced at the panel and saw that my alchemy level had finally reached level three.
After working at her desk all afternoon, Mingzhao felt her neck was stiff.
Just then, Mimi finished her training and was rubbing her feet back and forth.
She picked Mimi up and used her warm belly to apply heat to herself.
Unfortunately, after a while, Mimi started wriggling around and jumping on the ground to run around happily.
She had no choice but to treat her neck herself.
Instead of continuing to kill monsters, Mingzhao chose to meditate and cultivate water magic for the rest of the time.
Some intermediate-level water magic spells are related to ice, so this is a good opportunity to experience them.
After his intelligence improved, Mingzhao clearly felt that his cultivation speed had increased, although it was still slower than when he was in the dungeon.
It was already dinnertime.
After sending out the completed ice fishing artifact order, Mingzhao started refreshing the interface.
Upon opening the online store, she discovered that Chuangshi Technology Biotechnology Co., Ltd. had indeed developed the ice-melting agent.
Several people are advertising in the group chat.
Xu Ge from Genesis Future Special Needs Department: "This ice-melting agent is really useful. A large patch of ice in front of us melted instantly, just like normal navigation. It's much better than some people's broken drill bits."
Old Ma from Genesis Future's Special Needs Department: "Yeah, yeah, the company's R&D efficiency is really top-notch. With the company here, what difficulties can't we overcome? The Great Voyage game is a piece of cake."
However, this time, others don't seem to be buying it.
Wang Li, a lab technician in Genesis Future's gene research and development department: "@Gao, the head of Genesis Technology's special needs department, when will it be my turn for this drug? My contribution level isn't low, and I'm very close to the warning line. Can you give me a timeframe?"
Locke, a lab technician at Genesis Future Life and Health Laboratory: "Yeah, yeah, I've done everything the company asked me to do, why haven't I been called yet? My engine is completely frozen, and without the reagent, I'm really going to die here."
Xu Ge from the Special Needs Department of Chuangshi Technology: "It's no use you saying anything here. The order of drug distribution is based on contribution points. You guys only joined yesterday, so you're definitely not as good as us company veterans."
Locke, a lab technician at Genesis Future Life and Health Laboratory: "Isn't that the newly merged area? Does the company just want us to wait to die?"
General Manager Gao of Genesis Future's Special Needs Department: "Please be patient, everyone. The company is stepping up research and development and production. The rewards will be distributed according to contribution level. If you are in a hurry, you can purchase them from the online store first. The company will not abandon any employee."
Why would such a valuable medicine company put it up for sale on a trading platform? Mingzhao took a look out of curiosity.
It turned out that one kilogram of ice-melting powder required a whopping 100 ship upgrade cards!
Keep in mind that with the thickness of this ice layer, 1 kg of melted ice powder can only propel a ship forward for a maximum of one nautical mile.
Even if the company has some amazing technology, it won't make much of a difference.
The warning line's speed is 15 knots. What's the point of advancing a few more nautical miles?
In this situation, a purely mechanical method like an ice-breaking drill bit is still the most effective.
However, the company is now stuck because of their previous argument.
Because they had previously denigrated the ice-breaking drill bit, and their employees had echoed their sentiments.
If we were to change our strategy and choose a different drill bit now, it would be tantamount to telling our employees that we made a mistake in our decision.
Would a company sacrifice its dignity for the lives of its employees? Mingzhao expressed doubt.
Moreover, the company's motives are questionable to begin with.
It's important to understand that while the game is full of challenges, it will never present a crisis that leaves players with no way to cope.
For example, when a solar storm occurs, there are also chain-linked traps, and when the sea freezes over, there are also ice-breaking drills.
However, Genesis Future Technology Co., Ltd.'s actions are undoubtedly going against the unspoken rules of the voyage game.
Since you don't accept the rules of the Grand Voyage game, don't blame the game for turning its back on you.
Deputy Captain Huang of Genesis Future's Security Department: "@General Manager Gao of Genesis Future's Special Needs Department. Boss Gao, this is really unfair. Didn't we use all our upgrade cards to buy potions? I don't have a single one left now."
Before General Manager Gao could answer, the two people from the Special Needs Department jumped out again.
Old Ma from Genesis Future Special Needs Department: "You don't have an upgrade card, and you don't have enough contribution points. Why should the company give you the potion? Do you think the company is doing charity?"
Xu Ge from Genesis Future's Special Needs Department: "Exactly! We risk our lives for the company every day, and you guys just tinker with a few experiments and you think you can have everything? When you encounter problems, think about your own problems instead of blaming the company for everything."
Xu Ge's words undoubtedly sent shockwaves through the two experimental departments.
Locke, a lab technician at Genesis Future Life and Health Laboratory: "Where do you think your combat gene-modifying and enhancement drugs come from? Without us, where would this company come from?"
Wang Li, a lab technician in Genesis Future's R&D department: "Yes, we are clearly the company's main force. Now that something has happened, are we just supposed to wait to die?"
The group chat was in complete chaos, with several departments starting to hurl insults at each other, and General Manager Gao tried several times to stop them but failed.
Seeing that the argument had died down, Mingzhao finally stood up and said something.
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "We still have a lot of ice-breaking drills here, but your company's people made me very angry before, so I've decided that only non-company employees can buy them from me or @BeautifulGirlHero."
