Chapter 295 Silence
Zhao Ci paused for a moment, then continued to persuade, "That's too dangerous. Let's go play instead."
Jiang Mian paused for a moment, then continued, "Yes, it's dangerous for you to go alone, so let's go together."
The air fell silent for a moment.
Finally, he agreed to the imperial edict: "Then you must follow my arrangements."
Jiang Mian nodded: "Of course, we must listen to Lord Zhao Ci."
Zhao Ci could only smile helplessly and hug her tightly.
The next day.
Inside the scorching, stuffy mine, the sheep-like girl absentmindedly dug at the ore.
Last night, a lot of people suddenly came to the mine. The white fox woman didn't come back so late. Could something have happened to her?
But she herself was in dire straits, let alone able to save the other party.
The pink butterfly beastman walked in at that moment, saw the sheep girl, and went over to mine next to her, saying, "Where did the fox girl who was always by your side go?"
The sheep girl looked at the pink butterfly beastman, puzzled.
Before she could speak, the pink butterfly beastman continued, "You don't know, do you? She's climbed up the social ladder now."
"Ah, she climbed up the mine shaft and grew up there?" The sheep girl was puzzled, but seeing the pink butterfly girl's expression, she found it very believable.
After all, the Pink Butterfly Beastman had gotten close to the mine manager, and he's back mining again today. Could it be that the White Fox stole the mine manager's favor, which is why she was dragged back to mining?
The pink butterfly beastman pursed her lips, recalling the scene from last night. She and the mine foreman were standing very, very far back, where they could only see a glimpse of the golden-purple butterfly beastman's back.
“You’re wrong,” the pink butterfly beastman said quietly. “The mine manager is just a nobody guarding this one mine. How can he compare to others?”
She quietly added, "He's the master of the planet; everyone who comes in and goes out of the planet is under his control."
The sheep-like girl paused for a moment: "Was it voluntary?"
Butterfly Beastman: ?
Is that what matters? What matters is that he's the planet's ruler, incredibly rich and powerful, able to roam freely across the entire planet.
Perhaps the two people simply have different values.
Before the pink butterfly beastman could say anything, a clear voice broke in: "Of course I did it voluntarily."
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to her.
Behind the fox-woman stood a group of purple-gold butterfly beastmen, mixed with a few black butterfly beastmen.
Everyone knows that only the one in the main city is surrounded by purple-gold butterfly orcs.
This also represents the unique bloodline of his lineage.
Those prisoners of war were well aware of the composition of the substance, since the orcs they fought against were all purple-gold butterfly orcs.
Their main military force consists of those purple-gold butterfly orcs.
The sheep girl looked at her in surprise, then dared not speak and silently lowered her head.
"Come out." Jiang Mian took the sheep girl's hand. "Thank you for taking care of me lately. So if you want to leave the mine, I'll take you away."
The other orcs were initially shocked by this scene, but then their eyes filled with envy.
In an instant, everyone regretted not having cultivated a good relationship with Jiang Mian.
The sheep girl was also a little dizzy. How could someone as unlucky as her have been so lucky this time?
The group left the sweltering mine; the air inside was far too thin and uncomfortable. "What about my prisoner-of-war status?" the sheep-like girl asked Jiang Mian. Her prisoner-of-war status had already been entered into the planet's system.
Even if she escapes from the mine, she will still be hunted down by this planet.
Moreover, whether they could escape this planet was still unknown, but with Jiang Mian's help, she felt that the future was full of hope.
"Your prisoner-of-war status has been revoked. Here's your personal terminal; it contains several million star coins and a hovercar. You're free to leave now." Jiang Mian handed her the personal terminal.
The sheep girl was completely dazed from being hit, and she felt like she hadn't done anything wrong.
"I... my name is Mianyu." The sheep-like girl seemed a little embarrassed.
She genuinely felt she hadn't done anything; they hadn't even introduced themselves, and she had always acted solely from her own perspective and self-interest.
"Yes, my name is Jiang Mian." Jiang Mian smiled.
After releasing the sheep girl, Jiang Mian instructed the people from the imperial edict to produce a large quantity of the reagent he had made the day before.
"Diexu, make the reagent according to this recipe, and then use it on your mining tools. It will make mining easier." Jiang Mian handed the reagent formula to Diexu.
This recipe is very simple and can be found everywhere here. The only thing to do is prepare it, but it's not a difficult process either.
“Yes, Madam,” Diexu replied.
Jiang Mian turned to look at Zhao Ci again: "By the way, why don't you use machines? If you use machines and my reagent, the mining speed will be much faster."
Zhao Ci held Jiang Mian's hand, slightly furrowed his brows, and sighed: "When it comes to machines, the lizard's are the best, but he not only monopolizes the technology but also the trade."
He then spoke again in a low voice: "He also joined forces with others to resist me and refused to sell me the machines, so I didn't buy many machines. Therefore, the machines were naturally given priority to those rare mines. Other places could only rely on manpower because they didn't get the machines."
Jiang Mian patted his hand: "You should have said so earlier. If I had asked, he wouldn't have dared not sell it to you."
“Mianmian is the best.” Zhao Ci smiled.
Jiang Mian, thinking of the other beastmen, naturally remembered the few people they had sent, and asked, "By the way, where are the people the other beastmen sent? Why haven't we seen them?"
Zhao Ci's eyebrows twitched, then he smiled and said, "I kidnapped them to extort money from their master."
Jiang Mian looked up at him in surprise.
Zhao Ci silently turned his head, lowered his eyes, and simply said, "If we don't kidnap them, they'll file a complaint, and those guys will be here again soon."
He can find Mianmian on his own; he doesn't need them to come over.
Jiang Mian's lips twitched slightly, but she still asked, "Was the extortion successful?"
“It didn’t work.” Zhao Ci’s purple-gold eyes seemed to show disappointment. “They told me to just tear up the ticket.”
Jiang Mian:......
"Alright, let them go," Jiang Mian said.
“I’ve already killed the hostage,” Zhao Ci replied instinctively.
Jiang Mian:?
Zhao Ci seemed to realize that his words sounded somewhat misunderstood, so he turned to look at Jiang Mian and smiled slightly: "It wasn't really about killing them. I've already sent them back to their respective planets."
How could those people be allowed to stay here? He certainly couldn't let them stay.
