As a member of the Zheng family, Zheng Xun himself is also an ancient martial artist. Ancient martial artists with strong physiques generally practice mecha masters, and Zheng Xun is no exception. When he heard about the mecha on the spacecraft, his eyes lit up.

He did not dare to have any hope for the improved version of Tianjia Shenjiang, but as for those K223, just hearing about the performance of the machine made him itchy.

He glanced at Zheng Cheng, then looked at Lin Tao with a smile on his face: "Lin Tao, no no no, Brother Lin, how many people are in a group for your K223?"

Mecha formations, like giant warships and spaceships, generally use three-machine formations, four-machine formations, or five-machine formations to maintain formation. If Lin Tao uses a five-machine formation, then he has nothing to say.

But if the three-three formation is adopted, wouldn't there be an extra mecha? Thinking of this, Zheng Xun smiled even more.

"Three people." Lin Tao smiled. Zheng Xun was a few years older than him, but for the sake of a K223, he seemed to have thrown away all his dignity.

"With three people in a group, there will be one extra K223 among the ten planes. This... this..." After Zheng Xun swallowed his saliva, his thick skin suddenly became thin and he couldn't say the rest of the words.

"Haha~~" Zheng Cheng laughed loudly.

Both of them could see what Zheng Xun was thinking. With the performance of K223, they originally planned to only send out three groups of machines for each mining planet, but just in case, they added one more. This extra machine did not have a mecha pilot, so it was not a bad idea to give it to Zheng Xun.

What's more, Zheng Xun is also a member of the Zheng family.

Lin Tao still has a lot of good feelings towards the Zheng family who are not hostile.

"Zheng Cheng, take him to try out the machine." Lin Tao nodded.

Zheng Xun couldn't wait. He just stood up and looked embarrassed again. He quickly put on a smile and said, "Haha~ By the way, Brother Lin, do you need us to collect some information on the mining planet first?"

"Hmm?" Lin Tao frowned.

"Among the five mining planets, only Mining Planet No. 5 is the most chaotic because it is a habitable planet." Zheng Xun explained: "Even the three major wealthy families that have settled here, the Liu family, the Davis family, and the Wang family, want to seize control of this planet after the 100-year deadline."

Lin Tao nodded immediately. He also understood what a habitable planet meant.

"Even though the Liu family has the greatest control over this mining planet, they are nothing with the intervention of the Interstellar Federation. Not only the Davis family and the Wang family, but even other wealthy families have placed many people in the five major underground forces."

At this point, Zheng Xun lowered his voice and said, "Even in Area 7 of our Blood Wolf Gang, there are several people from the Zhao family. If Brother Lin wants to seize control of this mining planet, I can pull them out at any time."

Lin Tao was stunned when he heard this. After a moment of hesitation, he waved his hand and said, "No hurry, let's get started after we have arranged everything."

Since the news from the outside world has not yet reached here, touching them now will only make things more complicated. It is better to wait until we have a better understanding of the entire mining star No. 5 before catching them all in one swoop.

"Okay, then I'll get someone to monitor them immediately." Zheng Xun understood.

"Will it alert them?" Lin Tao asked.

"Don't worry, they already knew we were monitoring them, and they didn't take it seriously. They even tried to win me over and make me their man from time to time." Zheng Xun curled his lips in disdain.

Don't you think about why the Zheng family hid in the Blood Wolf Gang? "Okay, now that you have time, go and try the machine." Lin Tao said with a smile, "Remember to find a place where few people will notice it, so as not to leak our secrets in advance because of testing the machine."

"Haha~" Zheng Xun was very excited, feeling that Lin Tao was to his liking: "Don't worry, Brother Lin, we have a special underground training ground. As long as we drive the machine inside, no one outside will know."

"I'll watch it." Zheng Cheng also nodded.

Before leaving, Zheng Xun arranged two people to stay with Lin Tao so that they could obey Lin Tao's orders.

"You guys stay here, I'll go out for a walk by myself." Lin Tao didn't care.

"Brother Lin, but Brother Xun ordered..."

Lin Tao waved his hands. Although he had not yet mastered the ancient martial arts, with this body alone, he could easily defeat the metal skeleton warriors of the Liu family.

What's more, Lin Tao, who had only lived on Earth in later generations, was still extremely curious about the planets of this period, especially planets like this one that were designated as mining stars.

When Lin Tao followed Zheng Xun here earlier, he had already felt that the development of this planet was extremely low. Many of the buildings were built very simply, and most of them were built against the mountains, as if they were only built to cater to the exploitation of mineral resources.

Walk out of the cave and go back along the way you came.

From time to time, groups of three or four people appeared on the road, and there were also people walking alone. Without exception, most of them were ragged and dirty, and only a very few were wearing neat clothes. There was no need to think too much, as these people were either members of the Blood Wolf Gang or designated miner managers.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, Lin Tao saw the word "bar" engraved on the entrance of a cave.

Generally speaking, if you want to collect information, places such as bars, restaurants and hotels are the most suitable.

"I hope they accept star coins here too." Lin Tao thought and walked straight in. He looked around as he walked, but he didn't notice a puddle at the door of the bar.

Lin Tao missed a step and fell into the puddle.

Fortunately, Lin Tao reacted very quickly, otherwise he would have been submerged in the puddle.

This sudden scene immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the bar. They did not seem surprised by this. Instead, they burst into laughter as if they had another drunken joke.

"Another fool has come."

"I haven't even had the wine yet, but I'm drinking the water first."

"It must be another new miner that no one is leading."

"Nice figure, but it's a pity that I came here."

"Haha~ Is it really that bad here? To be honest, I can earn more here in a day than I did in Mingyuanxing."

"That's right, if the fees here weren't so high, I would want to stay here."

…

Everyone laughed loudly while drinking from their glasses.

The puddle was not deep, only reaching the chest, but it spanned half a meter from the entrance of the bar, and one had to take big steps to avoid it when entering or leaving the bar, as if it was done intentionally by the people in the bar.

After Lin Tao stood up, he looked at the dirty water on his body, then looked at the distance to the puddle and frowned.

Tap, tap, tap. A bald middle-aged man with a big belly and bright clothes walked over. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked down at Lin Tao coldly: "Newcomer, if you just come here to drink and drown your sorrows, I advise you to go back."

Drowning your sorrows in alcohol?

Lin Tao was stunned. He glanced at everyone in the hotel. Although each of them had a large glass of wine in front of them, few of them drank it in big gulps. Instead, they took small sips. He immediately understood what was going on.

In order to prevent people from drowning their sorrows in alcohol, the bar owner deliberately dug this puddle so that drunk people can clear their minds and understand that this is the mining planet, not the comfortable Mingyuan planet.

This bald middle-aged man with a big belly is not as bad as he seems. He is not a man with a completely bad heart.

Lin Tao pushed himself out of the puddle with his hands on the ground. His clothes were already soaked, and his feet were covered in a thick layer of mud.

Lin Tao shook his head helplessly, washed his feet in the puddle, and walked into the bar.

"Do we use star coins here?" Lin Tao asked.

The bald middle-aged man had returned to the bar early, without even raising his head, wiping the stains on the wine bottle with a rag in his hand.

As soon as Lin Tao opened his mouth, he immediately realized that Lin Tao must be another newcomer.

These newcomers are most likely to get drunk when they first arrive at the mining planet. Once they get addicted, they can easily lose their lives in the mine.

The bald middle-aged man didn't have a good face for this kind of person. He said coldly: "Of course it's star coins. How difficult is it to use the black coins of the Star Pirates?"

The drinkers around who were paying attention to Lin Tao also laughed at him.

Although the bald middle-aged man looked cold but had a warm heart, he was not kind enough to remind a newcomer.

There are only two types of people who enter the Mining Star. One type voluntarily sells themselves in, but these people also work very hard and are determined to escape from the life on the Mining Star. Usually, they leave with a huge sum of money after five or six years.

The other type is those who owed debts that they could not pay off and were forcibly brought here. Their final outcome was either to save up enough money to buy themselves back on the mining star and return to Mingyuan star, or to lose their lives here directly, with no trace left.

In his opinion, Lin Tao in front of him definitely belongs to the latter, and is very likely the latter among the latter. Now, while he still has some money on him, he wants to get drunk completely and try his best to forget his own existence.

If nothing unexpected happens, this kind of person can only survive on the mining planet for one or two months at most. If it weren't for the purpose of making money, he wouldn't want to waste wine on this kind of person.

Lin Tao glanced at the wine in the wine cabinet and pointed at a bottle of very ordinary wine: "Give me a glass."

The bald middle-aged man looked up at the bottle of wine and snorted coldly. This kind of wine is the cheapest of all wines, and only those who want to get completely drunk will order it.

After taking out the wine, the bald middle-aged man was not in a hurry to pour it. He said in an extremely cold tone: "Here, the price of wine is ten times that of the outside world. Although this kind of wine is not expensive outside, it still costs one hundred star coins per cup here."

Lin Tao raised his eyebrows. To be honest, he was not a wine lover. In later lives, he didn't even drink alcohol. If he hadn't planned to come and listen to the information from the miners, and there was nothing else on the wine cabinet except wine, he would not have planned to order a glass.

"Brother Fei, be careful of the puddle ahead."

"Tsk! Do you really think I'm a fool? I've been here so many times, how many times have you seen me fall into this puddle?"

"Yes, yes, there's no way Brother Fei is drunk now."

Just as Lin Tao was about to nod, two familiar voices suddenly came from the door. He thought it was strange, as if he didn't have any acquaintances on the mining star. Confused, he turned around to look.

"Is it them?" Lin Tao was surprised when he saw the two people who just came in.

It was these two guys who made him earn his first huge sum of money on Mingyuan Star. It was also because of these two guys that Lin Tao and Zheng Tuo of the Blood Wolf Gang became acquainted with each other.

These two people were Lin Tao’s former classmates, Chi Zhengfei and He Fan.
