Captain Yanyu took the eye and said, "So simple? This eye belongs to the Shuohe Corps. You snatched it from a spy, didn't you? If you turn it in to the Ministry of War, you can receive a 100 spirit stone reward. You not only refuse the reward, but are also willing to spend a high-grade spirit stone to research its operation principle. It seems that you are the rich one."
Chen Dadan never knew the principle of not showing off one's wealth. He said, "I'm not very rich, but I can always take out a few hundred thousand spirit stones."
Captain Yanyu's expression became even more exciting. He said, "I heard a few days ago that a private spent a fortune at a trophy auction. I think it must be you! I was thinking, such a hero, I must make a good friend of him."
It was not uncommon to buy a spirit sword at an auction for 60,000 spirit stones, but the person who bought it was a private first-class with shallow cultivation, so this became news and it was not surprising that it was spread back to Qiling City from the stronghold.
Chen Dabao nodded and said, "It is me."
After confirming his identity, Captain Yanyu became even more enthusiastic towards him and said, "You want to study the eye? It's a piece of cake. I'll show you how to use it first."
She cast a spell on the 'eye', and that small thing shot out rays of light, which reflected a virtual scene, which was the scene near the stronghold. The scene was very clear, and the sentry on the arrow tower was clearly visible.
Chen Dabing opened his eyes wide and said, "So magic and technology are interconnected. This world also has movies, and they're glasses-free 3D. This eye is a device that combines filming and playback."
Captain Yanyu asked, "You call this a movie? What's with the naked eye and the three places?"
Chen Dabao said, "It doesn't matter what it's called. Just teach me how to use it, how to make it play, and how it works."
Captain Yanyu said, "The method of use is very simple. Just inject spiritual energy into it. As for the operating principle, you've asked the right person. I'm the only one in the entire Qiling Corps who understands it. Do you want a brief introduction? Or do you want to be taught how to make this thing?"
Chen Dabao said, "Since you are the only one in the entire Qiling Corps who knows this, then this knowledge is very valuable. You must pay me for teaching me how to make it!"
Commander Yanyu smiled sweetly and said, "I find that I like you more and more. You are very smart."
Chen Dabing took out another high-grade spirit stone and said, "I'll pay the tuition, but I don't think it's that easy to learn, so let's talk about it later. First, give me a brief introduction."
Commander Yanyu accepted the spirit stone and said, "I'm almost falling in love with you. You're not only smart but also knowledgeable. A simple introduction is about formations."
She didn't know how to move her hands, and the outer shell of the 'eye' was quickly removed, revealing a board filled with densely packed objects.
"Look carefully, what's inside?"
Chen Dabing felt familiar and subconsciously said, "Motherboard, chip, capacitor."
Captain Yanyu was very surprised and asked, "What are you talking about? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Dongfang Yue, who was standing next to him, said, "An ordinary wooden board is covered with miniature formation flags. I understand now. The principle of the eye's operation is to arrange miniature formations. It turns out that Captain Yanyu is a formation master who practices formations."
Commander Yanyu was a little proud and said, "You are really smart. I am a formation master. How about it? Do you want to learn formations from me?"
Chen Dabing understood that all the illogical settings in this world could be blamed on the formation, such as the city defense formation, and the "eye" that combines photography and playback functions in one. Its operating principle is also the formation, and the formation is magic.
"The formation is difficult to learn, right? How long will it take to learn how to create this eye?"
Commander Yanyu said, "The knowledge of formations is all-encompassing. As long as one is intelligent and has a high level of understanding, they can become a formation apprentice in just three or two years and then be able to create this eye."
Chen Dadan said, "Then I won't study. I was born not to like studying, otherwise I would have been admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University long ago. Thank you for your guidance. It has solved my doubts. Goodbye."
Commander Yanyu, like a teacher trying to sell an after-school tutoring program, was a bit anxious and angry. He said, "No! The uses of formations are unimaginable. Once you learn formations and become a formation master, you won't have to worry about finding a job. Look at me. My cultivation isn't high, but I hold a position of real power in the Qiling Corps."
Chen Dadan shook his head and said, "It's good to learn the formation, but do you think I look like someone who needs a job?"
Captain Yanyu said, "You are young and wealthy, so you don't really need to work to make a living. However, formations have other uses, such as setting ambushes on the battlefield, which can change the course of a battle."
Chen Dabing still shook his head and said, "I prefer fair and square fighting, not ambushes."
Seeing that he was unmoved, Captain Yanyu knew there was no profit to be made from him, so he immediately changed his expression and returned to his cold and aloof expression. He said, "If that's the case, please leave! I have important things to do. I was counting the warehouse! Since you interrupted me, I have to start over again."
Chen Dabing was not in a hurry to leave. He looked at the warehouse and said, "Can we go in and take a look?"
Captain Yanyu said with a stern face, "The warehouse is a restricted area. No unauthorized persons are allowed inside."
Chen Dabing took out a high-grade spirit stone. Her expression changed quickly, and she said with a smile: "You are not an idle person. It is no problem to take you in to have a look. But if you don't move your hands, it will be very troublesome if something is missing."
Entering the warehouse, he saw that it was filled with miscellaneous items, including weapons and equipment, various styles of uniforms, materials, medicinal herbs, etc. However, Chen Dabing didn't care about these things at all. Suddenly, his eyes lit up when he saw a pile of demon pills, which were piled up like a mountain, just like worthless miscellaneous items.
"With so many demon pills, are you going to kill your way into the abyssal forest and destroy the demon race?"
Captain Yanyu said, "We have several strongholds close to the Abyssal Forest, and we're constantly being harassed by demons. That's why the Corps has issued missions to kill demons and obtain their elixirs. These are the demon elixirs we've collected during these missions, and over time, they've accumulated to a considerable number."
Chen Dabao nodded, as if he had seen this task before but hadn't paid much attention to it at the time. He asked, "How many spirit stones does the Corps need to collect for each demon pill?"
Captain Yanyu said, "A low-grade demon pill costs fifty spirit stones, a mid-grade demon pill costs five hundred spirit stones, and I've never received a high-grade demon pill."
When Chen Dabing made his first fortune by refining pills, he bought a lot of demon pills. According to the market price, this was half the price, so it was reasonable for the Corps to purchase it.
Demon pills are a good thing. In addition to being used as auxiliary materials for alchemy, demons can also swallow them directly to improve their cultivation.
The market price of the human race is one hundred spirit stones each, while the market price of the demon race in the Abyss Forest Sea is directly doubled. Therefore, when Chen Dabing saw the huge number of demon pills, it was like seeing a huge amount of spirit stones.
"Can you sell these demon pills? If so, I'll take them all at the market price."
