Gao Wu: Become stronger by grinding Erlang Shen's talents

Chapter 822 Hunting Down Mining Thieves! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Qin Ling's agreement and said:
"Thank you so much, Brother Qin!"

Qin Ling laughed and said, "My original idea was to have my senior brother guard the area for a while, and once our Blue Star becomes stronger, everything will be fine!"

"However, my senior brother isn't too keen on it!"

"If your senior sister wants it, that would be perfect!"

Qinling spoke again:
"This time, we must teach the thieves a lesson they won't forget!"

"We, the Earth, need to demonstrate our strength, otherwise everyone will think we are still as weak as before!"

"Respect isn't given to the other person; it's earned through fighting!"

"Once we eliminate a group of beings at the third level of the universe, they will naturally behave themselves!"

Lin Qi nodded, indicating that appropriately demonstrating the strength of their Blue Star was enough to intimidate some demons and monsters.

Without sufficient strength, even if you have connections, they won't respect you much!

……

Trial Planet
Inside the Sky Base, on a magnificent spaceship shaped like a swordfish!

Inside the spaceship, in the luxurious hall, stood a tall, handsome man with blue hair, wearing a magnificent silver robe.

He held a large wine glass in his hand, savoring the fine wine, leaning back in the smart chair, and looking at the large screen projected in front of him.

The bill is playing now!

"Young Master Vic!"

At that moment, a tall, strong man wearing blue armor, exuding a powerful aura, stepped forward and spoke.

"Do we still need to continue illegally mining metal?"

"As far as I know, the Blue Star civilization has already made some discoveries!"

"If this continues, we won't be able to face the Blue Star Federation!"

After hearing this, Vic stood up, raised his glass, took a sip of the wine, and said:

Why stop?

"We must continue, and not only that, we must intensify our efforts!"

"Do you know how much money we've made from illegally mining metal over the past few years?"

"A whopping 30 billion Deep Space Currencies!"

"This is the profit I've made over hundreds of years!"

"As a member of the Mensa family, my father is a being at the fifth level of the universe!"

"But I don't have much talent, and I have dozens of brothers and sisters!"

"If I want to gain my father's attention, I have to go into business and earn enough money!"

"In the past, when I traded with Blue Star, I could only earn meager profits, which is not what I wanted at all!"

"Why should a weak civilization like Earth possess such a vast resource-rich planet?!"

"I've seen tens of thousands of planets in my life, and none of them have such abundant mineral resources!"

"In the hands of their Blue Star civilization, it's truly a waste of talent!"

“In every transaction, Blue Star makes the lion’s share. We buy their metals and then resell them to other corporations!”

"We can only earn that tiny bit of money in the middle!"

"Now there's no need for a middleman; as long as you dig it up, you've made a profit!"

"All we have to do is steal and dig, and we can make a steady stream of money!"

"Currently, the Triangle Formation Civilization, the Flowing Blade Civilization, the Razer Civilization's Card Shield Group, and the Tower Demon Group..."

"Someone from every household is going out to steal metal!"

"Everyone else is going, if you don't go, you'll miss out!"

"Everyone does it this way, it's just a matter of who makes the most money!"

"Anyway, the mine is so big, and the detection system on Earth is only so-so, so stealing metal is the easiest thing to do."

"We will intensify our efforts next!"

"I borrowed a large sum of money from my brother, and with all my savings, I bought even more slaves from the third realm of the universe!"

"Twenty slaves at the peak of the third realm of the universe, all of you go and mine for me!"

"And you absolutely must go to Mine Area 7, it's said to contain Grade D metal!"

"This is incredibly precious!"

"At this rate, they could dig for hundreds of years and make a fortune!"

"I want to expand and strengthen our business, and create a glorious future for the Mensa family!"

The blue-armored warrior frowned after hearing this and said:
"Young Master Vic, something's wrong. Qin Ling and Lin Qi, the geniuses from Blue Star, and the others have all returned!"

"They are all geniuses from the nine supreme powers."

"Especially Qinling, he has been very decisive in recent years, dealing with many criminals, many of whom are from outside our civilization!"

"Some of them had very impressive backgrounds, but they've already been dealt with!"

Vic said indifferently:

"That's because their background isn't powerful enough!"

"My father is a being at the fifth level of the universe, and also a being from the Primordial Holy Land!"

"My eldest brother, second sister, and ninth sister are also geniuses from the nine supreme powers!"

"We're all on the same level, he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on me!"

"I only took a little metal!"

"They don't have that kind of guts!"

"And what about you? Father arranged for you to protect me. They can't do anything to someone at the fourth level of the universe!"

The blue-armored warrior sighed and advised again:
“Young Master Vic, the strength of the four realms of the universe is not the same…”

He was interrupted, and Vic said sharply:

"No need to say anything, Os!"

"That's it!"

"Please remember who I am!"

"Please leave now!"

After hearing this, Os sighed and turned to leave!
……

The next day

The headquarters of the Red Sky Martial Arts Hall, on the top floor of the airfield!
A giant fighter jet appeared before everyone.

Lin Qi looked at the fighter jet, a red delta-shaped aircraft with a streamlined design!
Qin Ling, clad in crimson armor, began to introduce:

"This is my senior sister Yanluo's fighter jet—the Flame Horn. It has extremely high speed and maneuverability, making it perfect for surprise attacks!"

Lin Qi sensed the metal on the surface of the fighter jet; its hardness far exceeded his expectations!

It's only slightly inferior to the Xuankun spaceship!
It uses expensive metals, including a significant amount of D-grade metals!

This fighter jet could be worth billions of Deep Space Currencies!

The group boarded the Flame Horn fighter jet!

"Buzz!!"

The Flame Horn fighter jet roared into the sky, tearing through the air like a sharp sword, creating a sound barrier!

A moment later, they appeared outside the Sky Martial Arts Academy and arrived at the Trial Planet through a huge spatial gate.

Inside the fighter jet, a group of people sat in the lobby, looking at the scenery outside the simulated porthole!
There were more than 30 people in this operation, and even the weakest of them had the strength of the second level of the universe!
There are also seven beings at the third level of the universe, including Lynch!
Finally, there are five beings at the fourth level of the Universe Realm, and two at the fifth level of the Universe Realm.
However, these experts will not take action themselves; they will only be responsible for protecting Lin Qi and his companions' lives!
They won't act unless there's a life-or-death crisis!
A large screen was projected onto the Qinling Mountains, displaying a map with one area specifically marked out!
He began by introducing himself:

"The mineral deposits are located 15 kilometers away from the Sky Base!"

"The mineral deposits are not located close together, but rather distributed within a single area!"

"So we divided the different areas into mines!"

The red area on the screen magnified, dividing it into dozens of numbers!
Qinling pointed to one of the red dots and began to explain:

"We currently have 66 mines, numbered from 1 to 66!"

"Each mine is equipped with a large number of warriors, intelligent robots, fighter jets, and firearms!"

"Because the mining area is so large, there will be illegal mining in every mine!"

"If you encounter these people illegally mining metal, just kill them on sight!"

"According to the laws established by the Deep Space Institute, any civilized mine that dares to trespass on its territory is prohibited from doing so."

"The faction to which the intruder belongs has the right to kill the intruder without incurring legal responsibility!"

Jiang Tao asked curiously:
"Does this mean we can kill anyone who enters the mine without permission?!"

Qin Ling nodded and said, "The mines are all operated by intelligent robots, apart from the staff and those who have registered in advance!"

"Anyone who hasn't registered can be killed!"

"I have already entered everyone's data into the system."

Then Qinling pointed to a mine and said:

"The metals from other mines are all of lower grade, but Mine No. 7 is different!"

"The mineral deposits here are all Grade D metals; it's the most valuable mine!"

"And many people's target is Mine No. 7!"

"According to records, over the course of just a few years, a large number of people have been illegally mining metal from Mine No. 7!"

"Although we have deployed a large number of firearms and intelligent robots!"

"But it still couldn't stop it!"

"Because most of those who come to steal the mines are beings at the third level of the universe!"

Everyone was immediately shocked upon hearing this: "Someone from the third realm of the universe is here to steal minerals? This feels so strange!"

"The three realms of the universe—that's already a high level in some small civilizations!"

Lin Qi began to explain:

"We need a martial artist at the third level of the universe to take action!"

"Many powerful forces in the universe will implant chips into talented slaves, making them obey their commands!"

"Spend a little more resources to cultivate them into beings of the third realm of the universe, to protect our own safety!"

"And there are quite a few slaves like this, but they're a bit pricey!"

"Many of those who come to our Blue Star to do business have extraordinary backgrounds; their families arrange for slaves from the third realm of the universe to protect them!"

"As long as we send slaves to mine some D-grade metal ore, we can make a fortune. Why not?"

"The more you dig, the more money you make!"

"The excavation speed in the three realms of the universe is far beyond what intelligent robots can match!"

"It's an incredibly profitable business!"

After hearing this, Sun Sheng said, "It's really tempting! If I were from another civilization, I wouldn't be able to resist coming to steal ore!"

Qin Ling said, "That's why we're here!"

"This time we will split up and guard several areas where illegal mining is most rampant!"

"I, Lin Qi, Jiang Tao, Sun Sheng, Jiang Miaoyin, Li Tianxing, and the God of War will personally guard Mine No. 7!"

"This time we're sneaking into Mine No. 7, so they won't have time to react!"

Everyone nodded!

Half an hour later, the top-tier fighter jets arrived over the mine!
The Flame Horn fighter jet stopped high in the sky, and everyone looked down at the world below!
They are continuous mountain ranges, stretching for thousands of kilometers!
The countless mountain ranges were divided into dozens of regions!
Metal walls were erected in each area, and a large number of transport warplanes came and went.

There were also cannon barrels several meters long on the metal city walls!

Meanwhile, a large number of metal eyeballs floated in the air, monitoring the surrounding situation!
"Boom!"

Countless mountains were blasted through, with tank-like drilling machines breaking through the entire mountain peaks to extract metal ore!
Countless humans act as overseers, monitoring the situation in real time!

Everywhere was bustling with activity!
Lin Qi watched as a robot removed the excavated stones to find the precious metal ores inside!

Many precious metal ores are mixed in with rocks and need to be mined out!
The rejected ore was collected, transported out in bulk, and then disposed of.
Seeing the tight security at the mine, Jiang Tao asked curiously:
"How did they manage to illegally mine ore under such circumstances?"

Qin Ling said, "Technological instruments are not omnipotent; it's enough to develop targeted technological products!"

"Many of the design products at our mine are among the best!"

"Even if we want to buy better equipment, it will take quite a while!"

"Moreover, the existence of the three realms of the universe has already been able to affect technological instruments!"

"Under the influence of the power of the laws, we had no way of detecting their sneaking in!"

"We can only stay put and wait!"

Then, the second senior brother, Horton, spoke up:

"Actually, it's not that we don't have the technological instruments to detect it!"

"But the price is exorbitant. Even if we sell our current trial planet, we might only be able to afford it!"

Everyone shook their heads; such technological products were beyond their means to afford!

Only a few dominant powers can possess it, and they have spent countless years and countless amounts of money to build it!
Their Earth's foundation is far inferior!

The current system can only be used to defend against ordinary martial artists; it is ineffective against beings at the third level of the universe!

"Buzz!!"

The cabin door slowly opened, and dozens of people dispersed, heading towards different mining areas!
In the end, only Lin Qi and a dozen or so people were left!

Qin Ling spoke up: "Now, it's time for us to take action!"

"These people are extremely arrogant; they dare to make a move even in broad daylight!"

Even so, we can't stop them!

"They like to lure out calamity beasts, especially demonic beasts, and then secretly mine during the chaos!"

"With the strength of a third-level cosmic realm cultivator, they could probably dig up a large area in just a few hours!"

"Then we'll go back and slowly dig out the precious metals inside!"

"We can guarantee that there are people inside stealing ore, and others are just waiting for the calamity beast to come!"

Lin Qi thought to himself, "Good heavens, are they really that arrogant?"

He said, "They're too arrogant. They need to be taught a lesson!"

"Since you're here, none of you are leaving!"

"They're here!" said the second senior brother, Horton.

Everyone released their spiritual power, which surged forth like a tidal wave!

It wasn't until they sensed a distance of 200 kilometers that they realized a large number of calamity beasts were rushing towards them, including dozens of level 10 demonic beasts!
Lin Qi smiled and said, "You've come at the perfect time!"

"Let's take them all out in one go!"

Qin Ling said:

"Let's begin! If we encounter any beings from the third realm of the universe that are not from our Blue Star, we'll wipe them out!"

Jiang Tao immediately smiled and said:
"Leave it to me. I haven't done anything since I left the Death Realm!"

"Roar~!!"

A roar suddenly rang out, and a colossal creature appeared in everyone's perception!
This is a golden eagle completely enveloped in a hurricane!
It's a monster equivalent to the second realm of the universe!
"Ouch!!!"

The next moment, alarms blared throughout the entire mining area!
[Alert! Alert!!]

The next moment, all kinds of thermal weapons in the mine were activated!

The scene suddenly became lively!
"The others have joined in too!"

"It's time for us to take action!"

Lin Qi, wearing the Dark Obsidian Armor, suddenly spoke.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!"

In the next instant, the auras of the seven people also changed instantly. They restrained their auras and rushed out separately!
Lynch also unleashed his spiritual power, enveloping the entire Mine No. 7!
……

Meanwhile, hundreds of kilometers away from the mining area, inside a hidden spaceship!
Wearing a magnificent silver robe and sporting long blue hair, Vic raised his wine glass and looked at the large screen projected in front of him!
Among them are endless streams of calamity beasts!

He smiled and said:

"These guys are getting more and more outrageous, and the number of calamity beasts they're attracting is getting bigger and bigger!"

"There are now more than 50 monsters at the second level of the universe realm, enough to throw the entire mining area into chaos!"

"Oss, you can start now!"

"Give me a big one this time, I need more D-grade metal!"

The blue-armored Os behind him nodded and said, "I understand!"

He looked at the thirty slaves of the third realm of the universe beside him and said in a deep voice:
"All hands on deck!"

"Yes!!"

The crowd answered, then turned around, put on their helmets, and concealed their true faces!

"Boooooooh!!"

As the cabin door opened, they all rushed out, transforming into streaks of light as they shot out!

Head straight for Mine No. 7!
"boom!!"

And Os himself followed suit!
He then discovered that Vic had appeared beside him at some point, and his expression changed slightly as he said:
"Young Master Vic, what brings you here?"

Vic laughed nonchalantly, "I want to join in too!"

"Let's go, let's try mining today!"

"Ha ha!!"

After saying that, he transformed into a streak of light and shot out!

Oss had no choice but to follow and try his best to protect Vic's safety!

……

Mining Area No. 7 is located in the center of the mineral deposits, but it is targeted by a large number of monsters!
Their target is Mine No. 7!
"Hoho~~"

Countless flying monsters and demonic beasts rushed out, locking onto the mining area and wreaking havoc!
Something seemed to be drawing them in!

“Bang bang bang!!!”

Countless laser cannons shot out, piercing through the bodies of the aerial monsters!

At the same time, a large number of martial artists rushed out!
"kill!!!"

"Another horde of monsters! Why are they here again?!"

"Someone definitely brought them here!"

"These people are despicable, absolutely disgusting!"

"I really want to kill them!"

"There's no way around it, our Earth civilization is still too weak!"

"Let's wait for the Crimson Emperor and the Golden Emperor to make their move!"

Countless high-level martial artists stationed there took action and began fighting against the calamity beast!

Amidst the chaos, a large number of figures began to rush into the mine!

A figure suddenly rushed into the mine.

At this moment, machines are digging, and mining carts are transporting the excavated stones away!

Upon seeing this, someone immediately stored all the ore into their spatial bracelet!
