"Comrade Zhang Shuguang, I apologize to you as well. It was our fault for being so ignorant. We shouldn't have doubted you."
"We made an empiricist mistake. We will learn from it and be more cautious when dealing with unknown areas."
"Comrade Zhang Shuguang, thank you for saving my life once again. If it weren't for you, I might have been fed to the crocodiles yesterday."
…
The experts surrounded Zhang Shuguang and expressed their sincere gratitude.
"You're welcome, professors. You've been traveling around for years, living in the open air, for the sake of our country. It's my honor to be able to do something for you."
Zhang Shuguang has no bad opinion of these real scientific researchers.
The night before yesterday, those same young men were the ones who mocked him and Liu Kaifang. Although these experts also raised doubts, they were also based on common sense and did not say anything extreme.
"He's incredibly powerful, yet so humble and polite. Captain Zhang is a great parent."
While several experts admired Zhang Shuguang, they were also extremely envious of Zhang Xiangnan.
"Hahahaha... thank you for the compliments."
Zhang Xiangnan couldn't stop laughing.
"Xiao Guang, is your needle poisonous? Shuanzi accidentally got pricked in the hand."
There was some anxiety in Hu Jianpeng's tone.
"It's not poisonous, but it will definitely hurt if you get pricked. Everyone, be careful. We won't accept any that are difficult to collect, and we won't want any that are bent."
There is strength in numbers. Soon Liu Kaifang gathered the steel needles picked up by the soldiers and packed them into eight marching bags.
"Xiao Guang, they're all here. The other needles are stuck too deep and can't be pulled out. Many of them are bent."
A group of people looked at Zhang Shuguang with burning eyes, intending to see how Zhang Shuguang would hide these steel needles on his body.
The recovered steel needles are only a small part, which is estimated to be about 400 kilograms in total. The steel needles shot out by Zhang Shuguang today are conservatively estimated to weigh more than 1,000 kilograms.
How did Zhang Shuguang hide so many steel needles on his body? It must be the work of a god.
"Platoon Leader Hu, searched for eight hours from the reconnaissance platoon and helped Xiaoguang carry the steel needle."
Zhang Xiangnan quickly made arrangements. He himself didn't know his son's secret, but he knew that some things must not be known to too many people.
"yes."
Although the soldiers were a little disappointed, they still shouldn't ask about things that they shouldn't ask about. This is the most basic quality of a soldier.
After packing up everything, we continued on our way.
Only then did Zhang Shuguang have time to look at the system's upgrade rewards.
[100 million gold coins have been deducted. The system upgrade is successful. This version is the final version.]
[The Myriad Worlds Trading System has officially begun, and the host can now purchase goods from foreign civilizations.]
[Reward: Ten bottles of Water of Life. The Water of Life comes from the Elves' Tree of Life and has the power to prolong life and bring the dead back to life.]
[Reward: Ten Strengthening Potions. These come from the Orcs and have the effect of strengthening the body. The strength of the strengthening depends on the dosage, and theoretically, it can be strengthened infinitely.]
[Reward: a supersonic spaceship from the mysterious Mayan civilization, capable of traveling thousands of miles in an instant.]
This system upgrade did not reward any skills, but instead rewarded things that were beyond Zhang Shuguang's cognition.
When he just bound the system, Zhang Shuguang thought the name was exaggerated. It was actually just a Taobao interface, but it was called the Wanjie Buying and Selling System.
After upgrading to the final version, Zhang Shuguang realized that the system was not exaggerated at all.
Elves, orcs, and dwarves, races that previously only existed in games or myths and legends, actually exist in reality, but they just don't live in the same world as us.
"Xiao Guang, what's wrong? Are you in danger again?"
Zhang Shuguang stopped unconsciously because he was too surprised. Liu Kaifang behind him quickly took out his gun and looked around vigilantly, fearing that unknown danger would suddenly come.
"It's okay, don't be nervous."
Zhang Shuguang came to his senses and led the expert team to continue searching for precious minerals.
In the afternoon, Professor Zhong also made some gains, but they were not what he was looking for. Instead, he found an amethyst vein and a sapphire vein.
If it were mined outside, the minerals could be made into handicrafts and sold abroad to earn foreign exchange. But deep in the Ailao Mountains, the conditions for mining are completely unavailable.
Before leaving, Zhang Shuguang secretly noted the location and planned to come back again in the evening. These were all gold coins!
Zhang Xiangnan looked up at the sky and said, "Xiaoguang, it's time to find a place to set up camp."
The visibility in the depths of Ailao Mountain is already very low. In addition to the huge trees that block out the sun, there is also thick fog that lingers year round, and the sky turns dark in an instant.
If you don’t find a suitable campsite in advance, eating and sleeping at night will be a problem.
"Okay, there's a water source not far ahead. I'll take you there."
After the system was upgraded again, Zhang Shuguang's physique and five senses were strengthened again. Zhang Shuguang could even visualize the entire terrain of Ailao Mountain in his mind.
"Comrades, everyone, while ensuring the safety of the expert team, pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables. We've been eating a lot of meat these past two days, so let's change things up tonight."
"yes."
The soldiers responded loudly and collected all the fungi they could see along the way.
The environment deep in the Ailao Mountains is dark and humid, and the thick dead branches and leaves on the ground are very suitable for the growth of fungi. The soldiers didn't even have to turn around, and they collected a lot of wild mushrooms on a straight road.
There are all kinds of mushrooms, such as morels, porcini, chicken mushrooms, bamboo fungus, chanterelles, and green mushrooms.
"It's said that Yunnan loves mushrooms. With so many fresh mushrooms everywhere, who can resist?"
Thinking of the delicious soup in the evening, Zhang Shuguang was drooling.
"Comrade Zhang Shuguang, I'll show you my skills tonight. My family is from Yunnan Province, and we're the best at making mushrooms."
A soldier from the kitchen squad came over and volunteered.
"Okay, it's up to you tonight. I'll go hunt some game later. We can't let such good mushrooms go to waste."
Maybe the swarm of bees just now scared away all the animals nearby, and we didn’t see even a pheasant along the way.
"Comrade, you must make sure the porcini mushrooms are fully cooked. Eat them while they're hot. Once they cool, their toxicity will revert."
One of Professor Hong's assistants tried to hold back but couldn't. There were more than a hundred people in their group. If anything went wrong after eating, it would be too late to rescue them.
The medical staff accompanying the troops can bandage wounds and treat red wounds, but they may not be able to cure food poisoning.
"Don't worry, our ancestors have been eating this stuff for generations, and there's nothing wrong with it."
The soldiers in the kitchen squad were thumping their chests.
Zhang Shuguang just smiled and said nothing. Not to mention now in the 1960s, even in another 60 years, there would be many people in Yunnan Province who would be poisoned by eating mushrooms.
After finding a suitable place to spend the night, the soldiers set up camp, collected firewood, and some even scattered medicine powder around. The soldiers in the kitchen team also started to cook.
After Zhang Shuguang made sure there was no danger around, he went out hunting alone.
