Spirit Stone Hunter

Chapter 113 Damaged Atlas

Zhanfeng stayed in Hexi City for ten days this time.In the past ten days, apart from visiting the farm once and having a meal at Zhan Jiu and Ma Xiaotian's house, they didn't have much contact.However, Ma Xiaotian heard about his purchase of a store in Hexi from Zhan Jiu.Hearing the price of Zhanfeng's shop, Ma Xiaotian was slightly envious and jealous.Now he can afford it when the time comes, but he won't even have the money to buy it after buying it.The two of them really consumed too much buying the farm before.

The first night I received a call from Ying Feng, saying that they would fly back to Hexi tomorrow, together with Wu Tao and Mu Yuan, they would take the same flight back.Moreover, Ying Feng also told Ma Xiaotian on the phone that the results after the hypnosis scan were hard to explain, and he will tell him about these after he returns.

In fact, Ma Xiaotian himself is not very interested in the map that the military wants to obtain.But he also knew that the atlas was of great significance, but listening to Yingfeng's tone, it definitely didn't look like he had obtained the complete atlas.It seems that this matter is quite difficult.But who let the entire mountain city be burned to the ground?He personally felt that leaving some clues would be of great help.

In order to welcome Huo Congting and Ying Feng back, and to welcome Wu Tao and Mu Yuan, Ma Xiaotian and Zhan Cong worked hard all day to prepare for the next day's food and drink.They didn't come over to Ma Xiaotian's house until they came back and Huo Congting temporarily arranged Mu Yuan and Wu Tao in his own villa.

Three pairs of six people got together, and the table was filled with everything prepared yesterday.It was the first time for Mu Yuan to taste Ma Xiaotian's handicraft, and he was amazed by the fried bean rolls made with egg skin rolls and bean paste.He never thought that after the black beans are cooked and mashed, seasoned with condiments, pressed and filtered, the fried black beans will taste like meat.Originally, he had a good impression of Ma Xiaotian, but now that he has tasted the craft, he is even more curious.He and Wu Tao grew up in a mountain city, and the concept of food is that if you are full, you will not be hungry.Later, I left the mountain city to live outside, and I ate some delicious food, but I couldn't cook anything delicious by myself.In the future, the couple will not be able to eat out all the time. In order not to only eat the basic version of barbecue, he decided to ask Ma Xiaotian for advice.

Teaching people to cook can be regarded as a "side job" of Ma Xiaotian.Not to mention Ying Feng and Zhan Cong, even his senior sister and Wen Tao who occasionally came to visit had learned their skills from him.Therefore, Ma Xiaotian readily accepted Mu Yuan's proposal. "As long as you have the heart to cook, anyone who is not a kitchen killer can learn it. In fact, these cooking tools can be good as long as you put the ingredients in them. I just thought about some tricks, and I only made them when I was free. .Usually I mostly cook stews, boiled meat and barbecue.”

We ate and chatted, and when we were full of wine and food, the topic turned to the map.

Huo Congting put down his wine glass, he sighed: "The information obtained is less than 60.00%, and there may be tens of millions of combinations. It can be said that this damaged map can only find the direction of conception. It is really a pity. If they didn't put their minds on These evil ways will make a great invention in the history of human spirit stone development, and they will also be recorded in history."

It is not an exaggeration to say that Mu Yuan hated the people in Tianmu. Thinking of the life he had lived in the past, and that they had already planned to wait for him and Wu Tao to give birth to a child, they wanted to use their child for experiments. His It's only good if those people die in my heart. "I'm sure there are more people with more brains than them."

Ma Xiaotian agrees with this point: "I also think that if history wants you to change, it will make you change. If you don't reach that point, of course there will be no change. Isn't it good, at least there is a general direction, and there are residual A draft is better than one with no idea.”

After listening to Ma Xiaotian's words, Huo Congting smiled: "Hey! Why are you suddenly so emotional today?"

Ma Xiaotian stared at him: "I'm a person with thought and connotation, okay?"

Due to the incomplete map, Mr. Dong was left in the capital to participate in the research of this project, and even his husband was invited there.As Elder Dong's assistant, Mai Na also stayed in the experimental area, so Ma Xiaotian's appraisal courses were all handed over to his elder brother Zhou Rong to manage.Fortunately, Ma Xiaotian’s teaching is just a regular basis for learning. He goes to Zhou Rong’s place for sample research and teaching every week. Everyone knows that he is extremely talented and cannot be fundamentally urged to become a talent quickly. He must pay more attention to a solid foundation, so Ma Xiaotian The learning task is not heavy.

On the contrary, the courses on form armor engineering are more difficult.After Huo Congting came back, he gave him several lectures.And made some comments and opinions on several pendants he made before.Generally speaking, Ma Xiaotian also has a little talent for making pendants, which must be incomparable to appraising spirit stones, but if he is willing to put his heart into making pendants with special shapes, he may be able to develop his own unique style. At least Huo Congting believes that Ma Xiaotian himself The supernatural characteristics of the belt make it impossible for him to be an ordinary armor engineer. Only by targeting special pendants can he have a better room for development.

Ma Xiaotian was busy making up lessons here, Zhan Cong moved to the farm for a while, and worked with those growers to study medicinal planting, and Ying Feng was responsible for helping Mu Yuan and Wu Tao buy and house.And Zhan Jiu and Huo Congting are seriously studying the map of the mine veins obtained from Zhan Feng.

Two months passed in a blink of an eye, and Mu Yuan and Wu Tao's house had been furnished and ready for occupancy.They now have their own real identities, they have a sum of money from the military, and the two of them have saved a lot of good spirit stones. It is not a problem to buy a villa.It's just because the villas bought by Zhan Jiu and Huo Congting have no place nearby, Wu Tao's house is farther away than the one bought by Long Xingyun, but it is still in the same villa area.

Wangcai has now become a frequent visitor to several restaurants, and the little guy has grown a lot in the past few months.Originally, Ma Xiaotian could still hug him, but now in just three months, Wangcai is even taller than him.Fortunately, when I went to the pet store for a routine inspection, it was said that Wangcai should not continue to grow like this, otherwise Ma Xiaotian would have wondered whether his Wangcai could catch up with the calf.

Huo Congting came back from school this day and brought a brand new engineering drawing to Ma Xiaotian and Ying Feng. At the same time, he also brought back a very important news, that is, they will prepare a spirit stone hunting operation in the near future. On the surface, it is for the school. The laboratory conducts spiritual surveys.Secretly, he was looking for the "neglected" mine.

Ma Xiaotian originally forgot about the emerald waste mine.Suddenly heard Huo Congting mentioning that he was still going to mine, he didn't react immediately.By the time he reacted, Zhan Jiu had already thought up the manpower list.Hearing that this time, he brought Mu Yuan and Wu Tao, including the two surveyors from before, and Zhan Jiu personally selected four armored warriors who were going to be a fixed hunting team in the future.Including himself, the list of twelve people was fully approved by Huo Congting.

"Wait a minute, so you haven't forgotten this matter for so long? I thought you gave up because you said it was nothing serious. Is everything planned?" Ma Xiaotian was shocked.

Zhan Jiu looked at him: "I told you, have you forgotten?"

Ma Xiaotian turned his face to look at him: "When did you say that!" Suddenly remembered that the two of them were chatting and wiping their backs in the bathroom that day, and it seemed that this was the topic they were talking about, but he seemed to groan a few times before changing the subject.So he immediately raised his hand: "Okay! Needless to say, I know!"

Zhan Jiu laughed immediately. "In fact, I did give up at the beginning. But when the laboratory planned the next round of vein exploration to select mining areas, Brother Ting thought of this. Anyway, it is an abandoned mine, but the distance is a little farther, but it is very suitable for mineral vein exploration. By the way You can also try to dig that mine. If we discover it by accident, it doesn’t need to be included in the laboratory exploration results, just some specimens are needed. The rest is for personal interests. If there are many remaining mines, you can report them, and then Let’s contract it directly and start the mine again.”

Ma Xiaotian opened his eyes wide: "Can it still be like this?"

Zhan Jiu nodded: "There are very few precedents of finding new mines in abandoned mines, but there are still some. The premise is that there are really emerald mines. The probability of such a thing is actually not high. If the mine is large, There should be a reaction in the excavated faults, but it has not been discovered after more than 80 years of mining. Maybe that is just the obsession of the prospector. But we can really go and see, if it comes true, it will be a huge profit. "

In fact, Huo Congting and Zhan Jiu had already discussed the matter in secret for a long time and decided to agree, so they told everyone publicly that they were not asking for opinions, but telling everyone that it was time to get ready to go.

With previous experience in the preparation work, Ma Xiaotian and Ying Feng did it very quickly.But because it may take longer this time, and it is impossible to go out to hunt every day if you want to enter the underground mine, so you need to prepare more food.Of course, these basic expenses will be covered by the laboratory, but because they have personal goals this time, Zhan Jiu and the others decided to buy dry food for three months at once after planning. Prepare.

Ma Xiaotian has been busy since that day, while Zhan Jiu and Huo Congting went to work on manpower and equipment respectively.After all, they have preparations for mining this time, and it is not a mining area where people can be hired, so all preparations must be done by themselves.In this way, Yingfeng Ma Xiaotian and Wu Tao Muyuan were responsible for the purchase.From the marching rations in the munitions store to buying all kinds of ingredients and making them yourself, to buying a lot of fresh prey at the hunter's market and then sealing the fresh meat after slaughtering.In short, everyone was so busy that they had to prepare for nearly a month before they were fully prepared.

This mining area is in the southwest of Huaguo, at the junction of the third-level hunting area and the primary danger area.The surroundings are not dense forests, but stone mountains. Fortunately, it can be seen from the map that the road back then has not been completely covered, and it is still possible to drive to the entrance of the mining area.

After re-renting a large traveling vehicle, Ma Xiaotian entrusted Wangcai to Zhan Cong and his wife, and rubbed the dog's hair for a long time before setting off.

Sitting in the car, Ying Feng smiled and patted Ma Xiaotian on the shoulder: "If you are really reluctant, take Wangcai with you. It is more comfortable in the wild."

Ma Xiaotian shook his head: "No more. Although I like it too, dogs can't understand human speech. In case it runs away suddenly, or if something happens to it on the road, it is in danger, I have to feel sorry for it. And it I have never lived in the wild, and if I get lost, I can't even hunt, and I will starve to death."

Now Mu Yuan was laughed at by him: "You think too much. Wangcai is not a completely artificial breed bred in a laboratory. He is the third generation of natural beast after domestication. You put it back into the wild , it will get used to this kind of life in a very short period of time. However, it will indeed be inferior to dogs born in the wild, and if it encounters a stronger beast than it, it will have no way out."

"Look! Anyway, I don't want to take it. He's fine on the farm now, otherwise we'll all be gone. It's boring for Xiao Cong to be alone on the farm. It would be better to have Wangcai with him." Ma Xiaotian dragged Rubbing his cheeks, he sighed as he spoke. "It's a pity that Xiao Cong refuses to come out with us, otherwise we will definitely not be bored together."

Ying Feng rubbed Ma Xiaotian's hair: "You didn't come out to dig mines but to relax? Do you still feel bored digging emeralds?"

Ma Xiaotian protected his head: "That's not true! That's what I said. Why are you so serious! Is brotherly love still there?"

Ying Feng smiled: "Don't make mistakes and you'll still be here."
