Chapter 964 Where is the Oil?
Zhou Xu's words were very sincere.
In fact, he really thought so, he has always been tolerant of others.
After hearing this, Zhou Yifei showed some excitement on his face, and even seemed to be moved to tears.
But in Zhou Xu's eyes, this expression seemed somewhat exaggerated.
If you were to ask the members of primitive tribes or some of the natives of this world to act this way, he could understand, but the one in front of him was a time traveler who was half his fellow countryman...
With a mentality of confirmation, Zhou Xu glanced at the other party's loyalty again.
As expected, the loyalty point of sixty did not change at all.
【Surprisingly, he has acting skills. 】
But when I think about it, at the age of 35, as a normal worker, I must have been beaten up by society and it is inevitable that I have acquired some survival skills in the workplace.
It is unrealistic to expect to increase the other party's loyalty with just a few words.
Zhou Xu was not troubled by this issue.
Regarding these talents with professional abilities, Zhou Xu believes that the relationship between him and them is like that of a boss and an employee. He pays the money and the employees work hard.
If you work hard and do things well, you will definitely get a promotion and a raise.
On the other hand, if you are not capable of doing things, or want to do something...
The outcome is basically a choice between packing up and leaving or dying.
Of course, it was Zhou Xu who made the choice.
He will make a judgment based on the specific circumstances at the time.
Ignoring Zhou Yifei's slightly exaggerated acting, Zhou Xu went straight to the point...
"Where is the oil? And is the altar that summoned you still intact?"
Around the equipment in the camp, they had seen barrels of oil from which kerosene was extracted.
However, probably due to the limitations of equipment and some technical conditions, the kerosene is not very pure and contains a lot of impurities, so it appears slightly yellowish in color.
Of course, none of this is important to Zhou Xu now.
Equipment and technology can be upgraded, what’s important now is oil!
You know, even before he traveled through time, oil was still one of the most important energy materials in the world!
This thing has epoch-making significance.
Da Zhou will certainly continue to develop. If it follows the technological route, the next obstacles that stand in their way are, generally speaking, only two.
One is technology and the other is energy.
You have the technology and can make things, but you also need the corresponding energy to make them run stably, otherwise what you make will just be a pile of scrap metal.
As long as we can get oil and refine it successfully, the energy problem can be solved to a large extent.
Even without talking about things that haven't been invented yet, let's just talk about hot air balloons. This is enough to allow hot air balloons to fly longer.
Faced with the question, Zhou Yifei's heart skipped a beat.
Zhou Yifei had already considered the oil as his own private property, but now it was obvious that he was being asked to hand it over! Would he dare to refuse? Look at the armored knights around him, and the giant beast that he didn't know how the other party had subdued.
Well, he didn't dare.
Before traveling through time, he was not a tough guy. When he was upset in real life, he would turn around and become a keyboard warrior on the Internet and rant wildly. Occasionally, he would also become an Internet giant and give orders.
After traveling through time, he became the leader of a tribe. Relying on his brain advantage as a time traveler, he was able to make a name for himself and also gained some confidence.
But that bit of confidence had been completely shattered by Qiansui's roar and the intimidation of the armored knights around him.
"I will offer this oil to you with both hands. When the time comes, please say a few good words for me in front of your majesty."
As he spoke, Zhou Yifei forced a smile at Zhou Xu that was uglier than crying. It was simply a mask of pain.
After surrendering to the Great Zhou, this oil is probably his biggest bargaining chip.
What he is afraid of now is that Zhou Xu is black-hearted and takes all the credit for himself, and then he will have nothing to do.
In his workplace life before traveling through time, he had encountered many such black-hearted leaders.
When Zhou Xu saw this, his expression suddenly became confused as to whether to laugh or cry.
Recalling how the other party addressed him before, Zhou Xu suddenly realized where the problem lay.
Zhou Yifei probably regarded him as a minor officer. After all, which emperor would have nothing better to do than to go to the border to do such a thing? This made Zhou Xu a little unsure of how to start the conversation.
Just tell him what to say about this matter!
In the end, I just dealt with it casually.
"Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."
When Zhou Yifei heard this, his heart sank instantly.
Familiar, he was so damn familiar with this kind of rhetoric!
This was the state his former leader was in when he wanted to discredit his achievements.
When he thought of this, Zhou Yifei felt a little sad and angry.
But after looking at the swords on Silk's and the others' waists, he still chose to swallow his anger.
Zhou Xu could feel the other party's rich psychological activities, but for the time being he was too lazy to say anything more.
Letting one of the elven knights lead him, the group quickly went to the altar of the old gods.
The altar is not far from the camp, and it doesn’t take much time to walk there, and it’s even faster on horseback.
During this period, Xuan Yu had already arrived first.
Now that I think about it, Xuan Yu must have discovered this old god altar at the beginning and wanted to bring him here.
However, he ran into Qiansui who was in a stalemate with those tribal members, which disrupted his original plan.
The altar of the old gods, he hadn't seen it for a long time.
Of course, according to Zhou Xu's understanding, there are still many places with it, but they have been used up long ago.
After all, the old god's altar will collapse directly and turn into ruins after its power is exhausted.
He was very clear about this.
Zhou Xu was really excited when he found an old altar that was still usable.
But he didn't plan to start summoning immediately.
After the altar of the old gods is opened, how long he can stay inside depends on the total amount of mantra power in his body.
In other words, the more power you have, the more options you have.
Considering this point, he could keep the old god altar first, and then summon it when he becomes stronger and has more mantra power.
At that time, there will be a greater probability of summoning the talents you want.
While thinking about this matter in their minds, Zhou Xu and his team did not stop moving, and they soon arrived at a basin.
With Zhou Xu's eyesight, he could immediately see the pool of oil in the center of the basin that had almost formed a small lake.
This also made his heart so happy that it was almost beyond words at this moment! (End of this chapter)
