After hearing what Chen Wangping said, Fang Zhounan felt a little relieved. Although they had not been in contact for a long time, he could clearly feel that these two people were from big cities and were not short of money.
This is good news for Fangshan Town.
As for their purpose, Fang Zhounan felt that they were probably here to gain experience, and perhaps there were family guardians observing them in secret.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhounan said seriously, "Mayor, it's like this. Our Fangshan Town is relatively poor in mineral resources. Although we have some iron and copper ores, the purity is too low. Even if we send them to Leilong City, no one wants them. So we can only mine coal. The coal here is of high grade, basically anthracite. There are many strange beasts in the coal mine, mainly millipedes. Originally, their strength was only level one or two. Occasionally, a level three millipede king would appear, and I could deal with it. But I don't know what's going on now. A few days ago, while digging, dozens of level three millipedes suddenly appeared in the mine. I was unable to deal with it, so I could only ask the townspeople to retreat."
Chen Wangping asked doubtfully, "Dozens of Level 3 millipedes? Have they ever left the mine?"
Fang Zhounan shook his head and said, "No, the millipedes here have never left the mine, and they are bigger than those in other places. I have some insect shells I brought back before, take a look." After that, Fang Zhounan walked into the house, and after a while, he came out pulling a round, tire-shaped shell polymer.
He put on gloves and pulled open the carapace while saying to Chen Wangping, "This is a Level 3 Peak Millipede King I killed four years ago. It took me a whole day to kill it. Fang Chengcheng and Fang Baibai's parents also died in that battle."
"Clatter"
After the round shell was pulled open, it turned into a giant shell that was six meters long and eighty centimeters wide. Although it had been there for four years, the shell still had a metallic luster and was dark black all over, which was very creepy.
Chen Wangping looked carefully and found that there was a faint black system light on the shell.
He walked over and knocked on the shell hard first. He found that the shell was extremely hard and as thick as four fingers. There were layers of folds inside the shell to reduce the impact force. It was extremely hard.
Well, it's a good material for making armor.
【Millworm King Shell】
【Application: Forging material】
[Special Effect - Buffer: Equipment made from millipede shells can reduce enemy physical attacks by 40% (up to level 5 psychics)]
[Special Effect - Flexible Retraction: Equipment made from millipede shells can switch between defensive and mobile forms, with additional boost to frontal defense after switching.]
[Note: Fresh millipede shells are rich in nutrients and can be ground into feed]
After looking at the properties, Chen Wangping nodded with satisfaction.
This thing is pretty good. It's only level three, but the equipment it makes can actually block two-fifths of the damage from a level five psychic.
Moreover, if the form is switched, the defense can be further improved.
As for this switch, Chen Wangping recalled how the millipede had unfolded just now, and wondered if it had squatted down and curled up on the spot?
Don’t worry, just build it and you’ll know.
Under normal circumstances, Xiao Fang and his men will arrive in a week at most. By then, we can equip them with more equipment so that we can use them with confidence when encountering a battle.
And this is an old millipede shell. According to the notes, fresh ones will have better effects.
Chen Wangping stood up and said with a smile, "Mr. Fang, since you were the one who managed the town before, I don't want to cause any more trouble. I'll leave the daily minor matters to you. You don't need to report my taking over as mayor yet."
Fang Zhounan nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, Mayor Wang. There are too many small towns like ours, and the Thunder Source Land can't manage them all. I paid this year's taxes before winter, so it's okay even if I don't report it. But, Mayor Wang, you still let me manage the town, what about you?"
He was a little confused. Aren't these two people here to practice their management skills?
If not, what's the point of coming to Fangshan Town?
You're not after our little mine, are you?
Chen Wangping nodded and said, "That's best. I like to keep a low profile. Take me to the outskirts of the mine first. Let's go to the mine with the most millipedes."
Fang Zhounan was a little confused about the situation, so he assumed the new mayor, Wang, had never seen a mine or millipedes before. He quickly stood up and led the way to the side, saying, "Mayor, since the millipedes never leave the mine, our residences are quite close to it. We can walk about a kilometer and we'll be there."
Chen Wangping nodded, pointed to the village next to him, and walked towards the mine while chatting with Fang Zhounan.
After chatting along the way, he got to know Fangshan Town better.
Although this is in the central part of China, winter is still very difficult and it snows a lot. Most families will store a lot of food in advance to keep at home for the winter.
In order to protect the food, the family basically rarely goes out. They will stay at home until the spring when they start farming again.
It is precisely because of the harsh conditions in winter that the roads near Leilong City are not very convenient. Shops have no supply channels outside the town and no sales channels inside the town, so they are naturally closed.
After finishing the conversation, Tang Xihe asked in confusion, "What about the miners? Do they still mine in winter?"
Fang Zhounan explained, "Actually, those who still mine in winter in this town are those who are unwilling to live like this. They save their coal and wait until spring to sell it in exchange for cultivation resources. They hope to advance further and live in Thunder Dragon City. There, as long as you have a level two strength, you will never starve to death."
Chen Wangping nodded. This is the siphon effect of big cities, and it is the same everywhere.
It is also because of this that there are fewer and fewer strong people in the town, and they are unable to solve the current problem of millipede mutation.
Of course, this is a good thing for his plan.
The fewer troublemakers in town, the better.
After chatting about this, the group arrived at the entrance of the mine.
Fang Zhounan pointed to a massive cave entrance that was ten meters high and said, "Mayor, this is our largest coal mine. We call it the Rich Coal Mine. Don't be fooled by the quietness now. As soon as you step into the dark, you'll encounter millipedes. Look at the debris on the ground; they're all lamps that were shattered by them after they mutated."
Chen Wangping nodded and said, "Mr. Fang, please move back a little. I'll take a look at the situation."
Fang Zhounan was a little confused and stepped back in confusion.
The entrance to the cave is not small. Why did the mayor ask me to retreat?
Chen Wangping aimed at the open space at the cave entrance, took out the war elephant, and put his mind into controlling it.
Fang Zhounan, who was sitting behind the war elephant, now knew why. He was stunned.
The mayor actually possesses such a powerful mechanical creation! And a space device of such a large space.
In an instant, Fang Zhounan knew that his chance had come. He secretly told himself that he must have a good relationship with the mayor!
On the other side, Chen Wangping controlled the war elephant to the entrance of the cave and looked inside.
He really couldn't help laughing out loud.
In the war elephant's field of vision, familiar light green spots filled the entire coal mine.
There is uranium mine here! !
