"Uh... am I ugly?" The Scout had always considered himself a playboy, and he had boasted about his charm and appearance countless times, so he was sure he had never said this.
"You've passed..." The engineer put away his knife and said, "Let's talk about this next. What is this cooperation you're talking about?"
Chapter 366: Persuasion
"To put it simply, the world is going to be destroyed." Fang Qingyun took the responsibility of explaining. Fortunately, he had the foresight to not start explaining after curing the penguin, otherwise, including what he had said to the old vulture before, he would have to say it three times: "A meteorite will soon fall on the surface of Hawks Star, carrying a special infectious bacteria, which may cause an infection crisis like the biochemical crisis, so Diao Chong wants to cooperate with us."
"What does that have to do with us? That's the bugs' own disaster, isn't it?" The scout shrugged his shoulders. "I will definitely remember your kindness in resurrecting me. You can order me to help you, but speaking objectively, it seems that the right choice is to refuse the other dwarves who have a grudge against these bugs..."
"You have a point." To the surprise of several people, Fang Qingyun did not use the issue of favor to pressure them, nor did he throw in a tantrum. Instead, he admitted this point naturally: "But this benefit is only on the surface. Are you sure you have considered it comprehensively?"
"What do you mean?" The old vulture interrupted. He didn't understand what Fang Qingyun meant.
"To put it simply, there is one thing in the world that cannot be betrayed, and that is profit." Fang Qingyun tasted a bite of the worm meat steak he made. After observing the thoughtful expressions of several dwarves, Fang Qingyun continued slowly: "Then the question is, how did Deep Rock Galaxy Group obtain the mining rights of Hawks Planet?"
"Maybe it's a contract?" guessed the old vulture.
"Perhaps it's free development?" The scout guessed, but he quickly rejected this possibility: "No, if it's free development, the management won't do such a thing. For long-term interests, they can turn Hawks into a dwarf settlement. Even if they only do intermediary business, they can make a lot of money."
"It's not important how they obtained the mining rights," Fang Qingyun said. He had just been organizing his thoughts. He didn't know what to say when he was talking. Now he finally sorted out his thoughts and found a good starting point. "What's important is to see how he does it. Even if the management says they want to ensure long-term interests, if they are just exhausting their resources, then we can't believe what they say."
"...That makes sense, but does it have anything to do with what we said?" The engineer sat down cross-legged. Although he was a little hungry now and felt a little drooling at the sight of the fragrant worm meat, he still maintained proper vigilance. There were many delicious things, but some things could be fatal if not handled properly... He had made up his mind that no matter how fantastic Fang Qingyun's words were, he would maintain a rejection attitude.
What's more, there is a small amount of acid in the blood of the worm. Eating a mouthful of it will make your stomach uncomfortable for a long time, and it will also easily damage your teeth. Unless you are almost starving to death, no dwarf will take the initiative to try this kind of thing...
"Then it is not difficult for us to see that Deep Rock Galaxy Group should focus on short-term interests. Is this okay?" Fang Qingyun threw out his own conclusion. The dwarves and penguins around him obviously had no objection. Only the rookie was a little confused and secretly patted the boss.
"Boss, what does short-term interests mean?" The rookie didn't seem to understand the meaning of this special term.
"Koloski, translate it." The boss handed the question to Koloski, the think tank of the Penguin Team.
Koloski pulled out a saliva-stained whiteboard and a thick liner from Rui Ge's stomach and began to draw circles. With a mouthful of professional terms and diagrams that were so unclear that no one could understand them, Koloski successfully confused the rookie. Rui Ge, who could have understood what he was saying, also showed a thoughtful expression, as if he was wondering why he knew every word, but didn't understand when they were all mentioned in a group.
"Okay, Koloski, let me do it." The boss pushed Koloski to the side and put his arm around the rookie's shoulders. "Now there is an icy lake in front of you, and the evil Dr. Blowhole is chasing you from behind. Now you want to get food. What will you do?"
"..." The rookie hesitated for a moment, thinking about what he had seen and heard recently with Dr. Blowhole: "Maybe I will work with Dr. Blowhole to dig out the ice and catch some fish. You know, boss, we all eat fish."
The boss was silent for a moment, with his fin on his face. It was unclear whether it was because he had failed in his teaching or because he was impressed by the rookie's progress: "...You said it was a win-win cooperation. I didn't expect you to have considered it to that extent."
The rookie touched the back of his head, and his honest look made people look at him sideways.
"So considering the short-term interests, what will happen if we don't help these tricky bugs? Think about it?" Fang Qingyun began to present facts and reason. He left enough time for the dwarf to think. If he was led by the nose the whole time, the dwarf would inevitably have a certain rebellious psychology, but if he followed the dwarf's way of thinking, the conclusions drawn would be more easily accepted by them.
"I know this question." The scout raised his hand high. "The Diao Chong will suffer heavy casualties. Next, we can celebrate while drinking beer on the space platform."
Fang Qingyun did not comment, but made a joke: "Please pay attention, comrade scout, the one with a big tail behind you is the master of the tricky insects. At her command, ten thousand big suicide king insects will be spurted out from the subspace to kick your ass."
"That's great!" The scout didn't show any fear, but smiled calmly: "Then when they explode, those special compounds will turn me into a golden statue, and my value will double!"
His pun made the other dwarves laugh out loud. The suicide bugs are a little "shorter" than ordinary warrior bugs. After getting close to the enemy, they will mix the compounds in the tumor. The two compounds are quite safe when stored separately, but once mixed, they will become extremely unstable, turning these suicide bugs into flesh and blood bombs to detonate themselves.
The Giant Suicide Bugs are larger than the Guard Bugs and Tyrant Bugs. After getting close to the enemy, they slap the ground and cause huge explosions and vibrations by conducting the energy of the compounds in the tumors on their backs. Therefore, they can ensure extremely large lethality while also using this attack method as a normal means of combat. Once a fight starts, the earth will shake and mountains will fly.
No one wants to encounter something comparable to a heavy excavator when mining, not to mention that the Giant Suicide Locust will self-explode when it dies, and its tumors will spill out and turn into heavy shells. There are many dwarves who have been blown to pieces by the Giant Suicide Locust's "deathrattle".
The attack methods of the Big Suicide Own and the Big Destruction Bug are basically the same. The only difference is that the violent explosion after death will transform all the surrounding creatures and rocks into golden gold... This is why the joke about the scout is so funny. If the Big Suicide Own does not kill the scout, then the scout carrying a large amount of gold will naturally double his value. But if it successfully kills the scout... then the scout will be covered in gold, so it can naturally be said that his "value has increased."
"If I'm gone, you can break me into several pieces and spend them. Then put my golden statue with one leg broken off on a chair, sit opposite and toast me a glass of wine, then my sacrifice will not be in vain." The scout was halfway through his words when the dwarves laughed so hard that they were out of breath. By the time he finished speaking, the dwarves were laughing so hard that they could hardly breathe. Even the engineer smiled unconsciously.
Apparently this kind of black humor was very much to the dwarves' liking. Fang Qingyun shrugged his shoulders and found that the topic had unknowingly gone off topic, so he coughed. Only then did all the dwarves realize what they had just been talking about, so they turned the topic back.
"The dwarves are alive and well, while all the bugs are dead. This is our conclusion." The old vulture held his rifle and gave the conclusion after talking with all the dwarves. Only the engineer remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.
"If you think that way, you've walked into a dead end." Fang Qingyun shook his head. Before the dwarves could get angry, the engineer told Fang Qingyun with an expression as if he understood something that he already knew what Fang Qingyun wanted to say.
"Remember the question just now? Deep Rock Galaxy Group pursues short-term interests," Fang Qingyun asked back. He didn't intend to let the engineer explain it for him. If so, wouldn't he have come up with such a way of persuasion in vain?
"So what?" The gunman shrugged his shoulders, he smoked a cigar and blew the smoke into the open area.
"There is no doubt that rockpox will indeed damage the strength of the worms and cause heavy casualties to the worms, but at the same time, it will also cause unknown mutations in the worms, which will definitely increase the uncertainty and infectiousness of those infected worms, and will also increase the danger level of the dwarves going down to the mines." Fang Qingyun put the facts in front of the dwarves: "Do you still think this is unnecessary now?"
"We can choose not to go down into the mine," the scout gave his idea.
"Really?" Fang Qingyun didn't say anything more, but left it to the scout to figure it out himself.
At this time, the old vulture had already reacted. He slapped his newly grown thigh and said, "No, this won't work... Since the management is pursuing short-term benefits, any passive sabotage of any team will be their loss..."
"That means all the dwarves will continue to work in the mines despite the danger. Even if there are heavy casualties, the management will not show any mercy..." the engineer added. He took a deep breath and asked Fang Qingyun directly, "What do you need us to do?"
"But...what if rockpox isn't as dangerous as we thought?" The scout still wanted to consider it more comprehensively.
"So what? Wouldn't it be a three-way fight between the dwarves, the worms and the rockpox? Are you planning to fight two of them alone?" The engineer asked, "If the rockpox were really so weak that it couldn't even beat the worms, then would this so-called worm master still sit in front of us in a friendly manner instead of rushing over to kill us all?"
Chapter 367: The Simplest Way
Thorn sat quietly opposite the dwarves, using a small fork to put roasted worm meat into her mouth. Facing the dwarves' gazes, she tilted her head. Her cute action made people unconsciously ignore her dangerousness. This simple action seemed to be asking, "What are you looking at?"
"...Okay, I believe you." The scout nodded to the engineer, but he seemed a little unwilling to admit defeat and added: "But it's not because you convinced me, but because this cunning insect master doesn't look like he has the intelligence to set a trap."
I've spoken, it's disgusting that a grown man can be so arrogant.
Although Thorn did seem to have a low IQ at this time, her not-so-long arms formed a circle to protect the plate, and she seemed afraid that someone would snatch it from her.
"Come to think of it, you are eating the meat of your own offspring... don't you think it's disgusting?" Fang Qingyun showed his discomfort at Jingzhi's feasting. It was understandable for him to eat insect meat, but if Jingzhi ate it... it would feel like he was eating his own people.
"Nutrients are very precious; moreover, they are already dead; in addition, it is hard to refuse." There was a little sauce on Thorn's little face. It seemed that she didn't care much about feelings. It seemed that she would try her best to rescue the living offspring, but once they died, she would convert them into nutrients in the most economical way... This behavior made Fang Qingyun, who attached great importance to feelings, feel a little disgusted.
If Viola lay dying in front of him, he would even sacrifice any red treasure on his body to save her life. Although this behavior might seem wasteful to some people, Fang Qingyun believed that family members should help each other, and it was necessary to pay such a high price for this.
"Even if doing so will cause us heavy losses, we must not help those bastards." The driller's words were powerful: "Even if the bastards don't let us help, for the sake of the future, we must help the place. I still understand the principle of lips and teeth being cold."
"And I also persuaded the Diao Chong to cooperate with me." Fang Qingyun shrugged his shoulders and decided to throw out a bombshell: "In the future, as long as you bring enough food to the mine, the Diao Chong will not only not attack you, but will also be responsible for your pick-up and drop-off, and will also send you to the place with the most minerals."
"Okay, this job can be done." The scout instantly became full of national justice, and seemed to have turned into a dwarf who supported Fang Qingyun from beginning to end, and there was no sign of him opposing Fang Qingyun just now.
"So what's your next plan? Our communication device is still intact, but we can't receive any signals." The engineer took out the communicator hidden in the gap of his armor and said, "It's not easy to contact the surface through this. Either we install a signal amplifier or go to the surface."
"My next plan is to resurrect Carl." Fang Qingyun nodded. "He is the only one who can be regarded as the soul of the dwarves. As long as we can win the approval of two heavyweights, Carl and the Overlord of the Insects, we will be able to convince the management to complete the preparations. And it is not certain that it will succeed. If the management thinks too much or too little, this plan will fail."
"... Let's do it first." The engineer obviously thought that what Fang Qingyun said was right. Management often thinks too much or too little. If they think too little, they will not be able to see the long-term benefits. They only think that sending dwarves to reduce the death of the insects is a loss, and they do not care about the possible casualties of the dwarves in the future. If they think too much, they will think that Fang Qingyun and others are lying. If they go back in the airdrop capsule, it will take who knows how long it will take.
"Also, don't expect to be able to return to the original space rig." Fang Qingyun shook his head: "In order to get rid of us, the management has blown up the space rig we came down from. What a coincidence that we came down from your space rig."
"What did you do?" The driller looked incredulous. "Did you dig up the ancestors' graves of the management? They will kill you even if it means losing a space rig. You will be punished for commanding the crash of a space rig under the management of the rig."
"Why do you know them so well?" Fang Qingyun asked. He did not expect the driller to answer, but continued: "I just threatened them and told them that I would turn a blind eye if they did not cause any trouble. I am only here to save people, and that will be the end of the matter once I am done... By the way, my role is to be responsible for supervision - what is that called?"
"...No wonder they want to use the space drill to bury you." The driller obviously didn't understand why Fang Qingyun was so tough: "You only need to use a little benefit, such as saying a few good words to the higher-ups, and you can make so many idiots and greedy people in the management who want to climb up rush to show themselves to you. You don't even need to do anything, naturally a dozen space drills will be adjusted by them to carry out saturation rescue for us... You played this good hand badly."
Fang Qingyun smiled awkwardly, rubbing the back of his head: "I was thinking that I could rely on my own... uh, aura to overwhelm them, but these bastards acted much faster than me. I really didn't intend to fall out with them."
"Then how do we contact the dwarves up there?" After hearing about Fang Qingyun's experience, the gunman sat back down again. Having committed such a crime that could get him shot, he would definitely go all out and simply block all communications with the dwarves nearby. Then, this so-called negotiation would be aborted before it even began.
"It doesn't matter. I left a few people up there. Don't you think that I can resurrect people, so how can I not be able to make a simple communication?" Fang Qingyun looked a little proud.
"Then why don't you stay in a safe place?" The scout was a little puzzled. "If you come down, you will eat sand with us anyway, so you might as well stay up there and drink happily. Those managers only dare to do anything after you leave. When you stay there, they are as obedient as castrated... uh, animals."
"If I don't go to the mine, then my trip would be in vain, right?" Fang Qingyun shrugged. "I have quite a few fantasies and unrealistic expectations about the mining life at Deep Rock Galaxy Group. I must wake myself up with the reality."
Kikuchiyo sat on the side and watched Fang Qingyun's "big talk". She recalled how Fang Qingyun looked when he escaped from the world of "Dona Dona" and did bungee jumping without rope. He was still as high-spirited... He seemed to be the same as before. It seemed that Kikuchiyo thought of the situation when Fang Qingyun panicked in the air but still held her in his arms and used himself as a cushion. She chuckled with pleasure.
As the dwarves cast puzzled glances at her, Kikuchiyo immediately suppressed her laughter, as if the chuckle from the girl just now was just an illusion.
"Okay, let's get back to the topic. What we are looking for now is Carl. I don't need to tell you what Carl represents, right?" Fang Qingyun gave his next plan.
"What's next? If you can really resurrect Carl like you said, what should we do next? After the communication is connected, if the other party refuses to pick up, it will be useless. If your people are exposed, it will be difficult to get away." The boss basically agreed with Fang Qingyun's statement, but still expressed his pessimism about the following steps. After all, the only person Fang Qingyun could contact directly was Ximi, and it might not be so smooth for Ximi to convey the message to the management.
"Boss, I can take care of this." Koloski raised his fin confidently and used a liner to draw a sketch on the whiteboard in his hand that no one could understand. "We only need some simple materials... first this, then that, and we can make a temporary signal hijacker. Although it's not that stable, it will definitely work in a short time. If it doesn't work, we can just hack into it."
Although Fang Qingyun believed in the penguin's hand-rubbing ability, he was not optimistic about the penguins' hacking ability. If he remembered correctly, the penguins had cracked the password by jumping on the keyboard until the password was correct... Expecting the penguins to crack it now? Forget it.
It’s not that Fang Qingyun didn’t believe it. Although with the penguins’ good luck they should be able to try it out, time waits for no one, and no one knows how long their luck will last. After about two days, all of them were disabled. It’s not sure whether this can be considered lucky or unlucky.
To be on the safe side, Fang Qingyun decided to ask another question: "Koloski, can you hack into it?"
"Uh..." Koloski pondered for a moment and used a lot of roundabout words to make Fang Qingyun dizzy, but the overall translation was just one sentence: I can learn.
"Then let's use my method," Fang Qingyun decided. "With Ximi and the others' fighting power, let alone those dwarf guards, even if another company comes, they won't be enough to defeat them."
"Then the question is, how do we find a dead dwarf at an unknown depth and an unknown location within one day? No offense, but do we have to let Carl get up and shout 'I'm here'?" The scout was obviously at a loss as to how to find Carl, and he didn't know whether his unintentional offense was directed at Qingyun or Carl.
"This method is not impossible." Fang Qingyun thought about it seriously. If he transmits the ability to revive the dead into the spiritual fluctuations of the thorns, and uses each worm as a transmission point to spread to the surrounding areas, then all the dead worms and dwarves on Hawks will be resurrected in an instant, but such a large-scale resurrection will inevitably bring about the destruction of the entire Hawks ecosystem: "But I think there is a better way..."
Fang Qingyun patted Jingzhi who was eating happily beside him, and withdrew his hand in embarrassment under the latter's vigilant and food-protecting eyes: "Come on, Jingzhi, do you know where the first dwarf who died in the battle with the worm on Hawks Star is?"
Chapter 368: Resurrected Carl
"How could she know?" Although he knew that Thorn was the Overlord of the Insects, the Scout did not think that Thorn would remember such details. Perhaps it was a racial stereotype. He thought that Thorn should be a monster whose mind was only thinking about eating and living. Even though he now showed the ability to communicate, he still maintained a conventional view.
In the eyes of the dwarves, apart from the dead bugs, the best bug is "Steve", which is a small number of bugs that have broken away from the ethnic consciousness. For the sake of convenience, the dwarves gave this kind of bug a convenient name, "Steve".
This kind of insect can be raised and is very loyal. Every "Steve" is the darling of its keeper. With a Steve leading the way, not only can a considerable number of special fruits used to brew beer be found, but also a large number of patrolling insects can be avoided. Therefore, the value of a Steve is almost equivalent to the fifth member of the team, on the same level as Bosco.
"Dwarf, remember clearly; bring it in an hour." Thorn still had that cold expression, but the shell-like tail behind her was swaying from side to side like a dog, and it was almost shaking out of flowers. It was obvious that she was very satisfied with Fang Qingyun's craftsmanship.
"That means you remember, but it will take an hour to bring the remaining things over?" Fang Qingyun found it hard to believe. Hawks Star is not a small planet. How could it only take an hour for Diao Chong to bring Carl's relics over?
Jingzhi didn't say anything, but nodded in response, and then continued to tear the insect steak in front of her. Now her eating speed has slowed down a lot. Maybe she is worried that she will have nothing to eat after eating the steak, so she started to chew slowly. But at this time, Jingzhi has eaten meat equivalent to half of her own weight... If you want to raise such a little foodie, it probably won't be that easy...
The speed at which Carl's relics arrived here was indeed astonishingly fast, but Fang Qingyun had a better way. He pondered for a moment, put his hand on Thorn's shoulder, and connected to Thorn's perception under his gaze as if he was looking at inorganic matter. Under Thorn's guidance, he crossed countless soil layers and tunnels and drew his sight to a place about 5,000 kilometers away in a straight line. There, there was a very fast-moving insect rushing at full speed, as if it was planning to transport these things here by running.
...Five thousand kilometers an hour...I guess even if you run your legs off, it won't work.
Fang Qingyun waved his empty hand towards the ground, and an orange-red portal appeared in an instant. With the help of thorns, he condensed the entrance of the portal in front of the Diao Chong that he was carrying on his back. Although Diao Chong, who was unable to stop his momentum, realized that something had suddenly appeared in front of him, he still couldn't dodge and crashed into it.
The high-speed insect flew out from the portal like a bowling ball, and rushed towards Fang Qingyun like a remote-controlled car running at full speed. However, Fang Qingyun still had one hand on the thorns. If they were hit, they would not be injured, but they would inevitably be in a mess.
Faced with this situation, although the surrounding dwarves threw out shield generators in time to stop the rushing insect, they were still a step too slow. It took a short time for the shield generator to fall from the air. At this moment, Fang Qingyun's thoughts were still guided by thorns and were five thousand kilometers away. He didn't even know where the portal here was, let alone predict the movements of the evil insect.
Kikuchiyo's speed was far beyond the dwarves' imagination. When the dwarves just used their optic nerves to capture something appearing, Kikuchiyo had already stood in front of Fang Qingyun the moment the Diao Chong appeared. The Ghoul in her hand had been unsheathed and was held diagonally in front of her. If the Ghoul rushed over like this, it would definitely be cut in half by the Ghoul.
At this critical moment, Thorn looked directly at the rushing insect and gently raised one hand. His pure mental power surged out like the vast ocean, and it seemed that visible ripples were formed in the air. Although the suffocating repressive force was not directed at the dwarves, it still deprived the dwarves next to him of their ability to breathe in an instant. The old vulture felt as if his throat was not his own. He held his breath and watched the insect that was rushing at high speed stop in an instant, and was lifted up effortlessly by Thorn's mental power as several limbs flapped.
The kinetic energy carried by the tricky insect seemed to disappear in an instant. Logically speaking, if this tricky insect was forcibly stopped, it would stop at an extremely high speed and cause itself to have a cerebral hemorrhage and rupture internal organs. But looking at the current performance of this tricky insect, it seems that stopping it did not cause much damage to it. It was still trying to move at high speed in the air, and only stopped obediently after realizing that the human figure in front of it was the swarm consciousness.
Fang Qingyun pulled his attention away from the guidance of the thorns. Pulling his attention back from five thousand kilometers away made him feel dizzy like motion sickness. He swayed slightly, and leaned on Kikuchiyo's back when the other dwarves were thinking of going up to help him.
At this time, the shield generator thrown out by the dwarf earlier was fully deployed, protecting the group inside.
"The relic has arrived. How about taking a look at it now?" Thorn's rhetorical question sounded like a statement. Her mental power turned into a big hand and took off the thing tied to the back of the well-behaved Diao Chong.
Fang Qingyun relieved his dizziness and got off Kikuchiyo's back. He was a little embarrassed at the moment because he fell at a wrong angle. He almost lay on Kikuchiyo's shoulder and took two breaths. The hot air he exhaled sprayed on Kikuchiyo's earlobes. This flirtatious and harassing behavior made Kikuchiyo blush to her ears. Kikuchiyo had just got used to the shame of lying on her knees and now she almost made a sound due to such stimulation.
"Isn't this just a wrong cube?" Fang Qingyun didn't have time to comfort Kikuchiyo who was still blushing. He spoke unconsciously when he saw Carl's relics brought by Jing Jing. He turned the black Rubik's Cube in his hand over and over again to make sure he was not mistaken.
The error cube looks like a black Rubik's Cube, but the lines between the cubes are white, which makes each face of the Rubik's Cube look like there is a white "well" character. The size of the error cube is not small, about the size of a basketball. If a dwarf were to hold it, his arms might not be long enough.
The Error Cube is called the Error Cube because in the Deep Rock Galaxy game, players can mark targets with an indicator, and the marked target will display its name. The Error Cube is a rare product that is dug out from a special stone wall. After marking, it will only display a bunch of garbled characters. Anyway, before Fang Qingyun crossed over, this thing could only add some experience, and it had no other use. Fang Qingyun even suspected that it was something like an easter egg, or the existence of a bug.
"Error Rubik's Cube? What is that?" The old vulture was very confused by this unfamiliar term. It was obvious that he had never seen this thing before. The dwarves next to him also had surprised expressions on their faces, as if to say "What the hell is this?"
"You just need to know that this thing is called the Error Cube." Fang Qingyun had no intention of explaining further. He held the Error Cube in his palm and silently immersed it with the energy of hell, trying to find Carl's soul from it.
Afterwards, Kikuchiyo, the dwarves, and the penguins read obvious surprise on Fang Qingyun's face. Fang Qingyun had never shown that kind of surprised expression before. Even when a bomb was found in the transport boat, Fang Qingyun looked calm and indifferent. But now he actually showed an expression of surprise?
"Has it been too long?" The scout made an excuse for Fang Qingyun. Seeing that Fang Qingyun had no intention of resurrecting immediately, maybe Carl couldn't be resurrected? This made his heart sink. Whether it was for the sake of a safer working environment for the dwarves in the future, or for his own selfish desire to meet Carl, the idol of all dwarves, he hoped that Fang Qingyun could succeed.
"No... I just saw an acquaintance who shouldn't be here..." Fang Qingyun's expression was indescribably surprised and confused, but he quickly got rid of his doubts and laughed dumbly: "So this error Rubik's Cube is not actually like this..."
Fang Qingyun waved his hand, and a dwarf wearing old-style dwarf armor emerged from the ground next to him. Originally, every resurrected dwarf should have been naked, but Fang Qingyun had no intention of letting a grown man run naked in public, so when he resurrected Carl, he specially gave him a piece of armor.
Carl is not as... legendary as the other dwarves imagine. He doesn't have a beard as shining as gold as the driller imagines, nor is he a muscular man like the gunner imagines, nor does he have the wise eyes like the engineer imagines. If there is any difference between Carl and the dwarves, it is that the calluses on his palms caused by the grappling gun are abnormally thick.
Perhaps it was because he had not moved his body for too long and had been dead for too long, but Carl was not used to the feeling of having legs and hands. Carl, the legendary scout who was as agile as a leopard, was now lying on the ground like a child who was just learning to walk, and even sitting up was a problem.
“Are you sure you didn’t resurrect the wrong person? Is this really Carl?” The dwarves looked a little incredulous. Carl looked too ordinary, so ordinary that he seemed like he could blend in if thrown into any team and could not be accurately identified.
"This is indeed the real Carl." Fang Qingyun checked Carl's memories before his death. This was a backup plan he made to prevent making a mistake. Therefore, after seeing Carl's heroic act of sacrificing his own life, he confirmed that he was not wrong: "He dared to give up his own hope of life in a critical moment and create a possibility for his friends to survive. The first dwarf hero to do this should be his name."
The dwarves looked at each other, obviously finding it difficult to accept the destruction of their idol's image.
Fang Qingyun understood the dwarves' inner thoughts very well when he saw the dwarves' expressions of collapsed faith. After all, packaging heroes is a very common thing. Once the hero's bright and beautiful shell is torn off and some of his normal human-like qualities are exposed, it will cause a devastating blow to the worldview of those who believe in heroes.
Chapter 369: An offer that cannot be refused
"Welcome back to the human world." Fang Qingyun extended a hand to Karl, who was adapting to his body, and wanted to pull him up: "By the way, can you tell me your name?"
Although Karl was a little confused at this time, he still showed his humor. He raised his eyebrows and looked very frivolous: "If I answer no, Karl, will you let me die again?"
Fang Qingyun laughed out loud: "Of course not, I just need to know your real name. The situation is too critical, I don't have time to explain it to you in detail now."
