I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

Zhou Weiguo shook his head firmly: "No need, no need. I feel that there are fewer and fewer rare earth mines at this depth, and even if I can't mine them all, I don't plan to mine anymore. I have to save two of my life-saving invincible golden body technique, which can only be used three times a year. There's no need to be stubborn and risk my life for the sake of Xiao Rizi. Otherwise, if something goes wrong and I lose my life, wouldn't that be a huge loss? Let's save some for Xiao Rizi."

The system's tone was strange: "Leave some? Are you sure you're not just ruthlessly exploiting us? Take those two gold and silver mines, for example, you've completely drained them; you've also mined most of the silver, copper, lead, and zinc mines; even the sulfur and iodine, limestone, and silica mines, you've extracted about 60% of what's underground. Now, if there's a magnitude 3 or 4 earthquake, many places in these areas will probably collapse! Are you really that heartless? Or rather, do you really hate our lives that much?"

Zhou Weiguo was silent for a moment: "Shouldn't I hate you? Aren't you ruthless?"

The system hesitated for a moment: "Uh! That's right, I'd hate it too. By the way, host, why didn't you collect the topmost layer of rare earth elements? That layer is right on the seabed surface, it should be easier to collect, right?"

Zhou Weiguo smiled but didn't answer. He definitely wouldn't accept that layer of rare earth. If he did, how would he discover it later? If he didn't discover it, how could he be happy about owning 1600 million tons of rare earth ore? If he wasn't happy, how could he invest so much effort in building a deep-sea mining platform? And if he didn't build a mining platform, how could he lose everything?

Seeing that he had exhausted all the rare earth mines at a depth of 5000 to 10000 meters in the deep sea, Zhou Weiguo resisted the urge to continue digging deeper and suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea.

He then moved rapidly back to China at a speed of 1 meters per second.

In just over three minutes, they passed by the local area again and then moved at sea.

More than a minute later, they should have entered what is now South Korea.

Zhou Weiguo activated his full sensory awareness as he walked, observing to see if he could find more mineral deposits.

Suddenly, Zhou Weiguo stopped on a hilltop.

He did not deactivate his invisibility, but looked around, a rare look of reminiscence appearing in his eyes—Tieyuan.

However, his recollection did not linger for long.

In an instant, he appeared on the mountaintop, gazing into the distance.

Looking at the distant land, his face was full of solemnity. He then stood up straight and gave a standard military salute.

The reason was simple: according to his perception, no fewer than 30 sets of remains were buried in the land at the foot of this mountain.

Although the flesh and blood have disappeared, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army badges on the carbonized and degraded clothing, the Type 38 rifles and Type 24 rifles beside them, the belts and canteens of the Volunteer Army all prove that our heroes were among them, even amidst the overgrown weeds.

Within five minutes, Zhou Weiguo's figure flashed across an area of ​​80 kilometers. When he stopped, the temporary space contained the remains of 3856 heroes.

Zhou Weiguo stood on the mountaintop again and saluted before heading towards the Bohai Sea.

He searched for a long time before finally finding a shallow sea trench about 10 kilometers north of the Yellow River estuary, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He threw all the mineral deposits in the space except for the gold mine into the trench all at once, and then threw all the mineral deposits in the temporary space in as well.

It's not that he didn't want to take the ore back, but he simply didn't have anywhere to store such a large quantity.

I'll put it here for now. I might need it later. Anyway, whether I need it or not, as long as it improves my life, I'll be happy.

After settling in, he double-checked his location, even having the system mark his latitude and longitude, before hurriedly heading inland.

After a long while, Zhou Weiguo looked at the vast expanse of white snow in the distance and felt somewhat dazed.

"Ding! Temporary skills, 10,000-meter perception and 10,000-meter teleportation, have expired."

Zhou Weiguo felt as if he had jumped from land into the deep sea in an instant, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

After testing the current 10-meter perception range, he sighed helplessly.

Before he could even catch his breath, he heard:

"Ding! Temporary skills: Extra Large Storage Space, Invincible Body, and Data Analysis Function usage time has expired."

Zhou Weiguo instantly felt all his strength drained away. He realized that this was the result of working at high intensity for 12 hours using the Invincible Golden Body technique, which weakened his physical and mental strength.

It was deep winter, and without my invincible golden body, the cold wind blew, and with the important business finished, my spirits relaxed.

Looking at his suit covered in mud and seawater, Zhou Weiguo felt terrible.

He quickly slipped into the space, changed into a thick set of clothes, and then slipped out of the space.

Looking around at his surroundings, Zhou Weiguo was a little confused: Where the hell am I? I didn't have time to observe the surroundings.

Left with no other choice, he took his Jeep out of his spatial storage and drove it along the path.

Looking at the snow-covered road and the surrounding area, all he wanted to do was hurry home, hug his Natasha and Tianzao, and get a good night's sleep.

It's Chinese New Year now, and he really didn't expect to be away for so long. His only thought now is to hurry home and give his family a surprise. This trip has left him feeling completely exhausted.

He smoked his cigarette out of boredom, and after driving for about ten minutes, he finally saw a wisp of smoke rising from a chimney.

Zhou Weiguo excitedly parked his car on the side of the road, got out, and shivered in the cold wind.

"Knock knock knock! Hello, is anyone home?"

"Who is it?"

Zhou Weiguo quickly said, "Fellow villager, let me ask for directions. I'm a soldier."

"Oh, oh, oh, it's here, it's here."

With a creak, the door opened.

The man was taken aback when he saw Zhou Weiguo's clothes, and then looked at him warily.

When Zhou Weiguo looked at what he was wearing, he cursed himself for being so foolish as to wear clothes from Hong Kong. Fortunately, the clothes were still presentable.

He quickly pulled out his military officer's ID from his pocket and said, "Fellow villager, I just finished a mission and now I want to go back to Beijing."

The man glanced at Zhou Weiguo, examined his military officer's ID for a long time, and then smiled, "Oh, please come in, please come in and let's talk."

Zhou Weiguo waved his hand: "I won't go in. I want to go to Beijing. Could you please give me directions? Where are we? How far is it from here to Beijing?"

The man frowned, then said, "We are in Laishui County, which is about 160 li away from Sijiu City."

Zhou Weiguo's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed: He was finally going home soon.

Thinking of this, he prepared to get up and take his leave.

Unexpectedly, the fellow villager was incredibly hospitable and insisted that he stay for dinner.

Zhou Weiguo was initially unwilling, but his fellow villagers insisted on keeping him there.

Zhou Weiguo declined for a long time, but in the end he couldn't persuade his fellow villager.

After a while, Zhou Weiguo sat at the table with his fellow villager couple and their child.

P.S.: Please urge me to update more and give me good reviews. Thank you!
