Chapter 1 In the Aftermath

Li Ruiqi announced that they could begin selecting their sites.

Wen Luosi and the others didn't immediately make a blind choice. Instead, they walked to the holographic projection. Each of them reached out and touched it, causing a miniature version of the planetary mine distribution map to split off and move in front of them.

They carefully began to study each coordinate!

These hundred and twenty-odd mining points definitely had their pros and cons. Although they couldn't see the specific situation, they could at least observe their latitude and the environmental conditions of their location to make some guesses.

Truth be told, this opportunity was a reward for their years of life-and-death struggles. Once they chose poorly, they would have to swallow the bitter pill themselves.

Although they held high positions and seemed not to lack money, what they lacked was more than anyone else.

This time, after mining and returning, the more money they obtained, the more they could go to the Star Ring City to purchase what they wanted and further strengthen themselves.

Not to mention anything else, just the IV-level genetic medicine alone was enough to drive them crazy.

They had to know that they were now forcibly piloting IV-generation bio-mechs, enduring high pollution every moment, which was equivalent to gambling with their lives.

At this time, Su Mo also stepped forward and carefully studied these mining points.

Just then, the deep voice of the Counterfeit Creator·Devourer sounded in Su Mo's mind.

"Choose mining point number 83. That mining point is relatively valuable!"

After listening to the Counterfeit Creator·Devourer's words, Su Mo didn't choose immediately, but communicated with it in his mind.

"What kind of mine is it?"

"That mining point has abundant Level 3 molybdenum ore, which is quite valuable. Although it's not necessarily the best mine among these hundred and twenty-odd mining points, it's definitely in the top three."

The Counterfeit Creator·Devourer told Su Mo in a simple and clear manner. In fact, its explanation was euphemistic. If it wasn't afraid of something unexpected happening or being proven wrong, the Counterfeit Creator·Devourer would definitely say that it was the best there.

Su Mo didn't doubt the words of the Counterfeit Creator·Devourer, but he didn't state that he would choose this point either. He just asked indifferently,

"I'll ask you a question. Where was the insect nest that we destroyed located?"

"Here."

Although the Counterfeit Creator·Devourer was a little puzzled as to why Su Mo was asking this, it still circled the designated coordinates for him.

Su Mo looked at the coordinates pointed out by the Counterfeit Creator·Devourer, fell into contemplation, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Time passed bit by bit.

Li Ruiqi and the other two waited quietly, without the slightest impatience or urge.

On the contrary, they admired the serious attitude of the crowd.

In the end, Graves walked to the planetary holographic projection, stretched out his hand and pointed to mining point number 32, and said steadily,

"Three adults, I have made my choice, mining point number 32!"

"Are you sure?"

Li Ruiqi asked with a smile.

Hearing Li Ruiqi's words, a trace of unnaturalness appeared on Graves' face. Although there was nothing wrong with the question, it inexplicably created an illusion for him, as if he had chosen the wrong one.

However, Graves was firm-willed after all, and he replied very positively, "I'm sure."

"Okay, mining point number 32 is yours."

Li Ruiqi waved his hand, and mining point number 32 turned gray, indicating that it had been selected.

Seeing that Graves had chosen, Syuris stepped forward without saying a word and pointed to mining point number 6.

"I choose here!"

Seeing the point chosen by Syuris, Augulas showed a smile and said, "Okay, this point is yours."

A hint of suspicion also appeared in Li Ruiqi's eyes. Could this Augulas be leaking something to Syuris?

Although everyone hadn't conducted a detailed on-site survey and couldn't confirm which mining point was good, it didn't mean that they couldn't do anything sneaky at all.

For example, long-range detection, detecting it several more times, there would always be one or two mining points that reacted more strongly.

At this time, Wen Luosi also stepped forward, and she stretched out her hand and pointed to mining point number 63.

"Three adults, I choose here."

"No problem."

Sped nodded and agreed.

For a time, only Wang Hai and Su Mo hadn't chosen.

Wang Hai also walked forward at this time, and he stretched out his hand to point towards mining point number 37.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the side and grabbed Wang Hai's hand.

Wang Hai was slightly stunned.

Wen Luosi and the others were also surprised.

Including Li Ruiqi and the others, they also showed a look of doubt.

Su Mo grabbed Wang Hai's hand with a smile on his face.

A playful smile appeared on the corner of Syuris' mouth. Was this going to be a point grab? It seemed interesting.

"Su Mo? You want this point?"

Wang Hai looked at Su Mo in confusion.

"Su Mo, don't be ridiculous, Wang Hai chose first."

Sped said in a deep voice, he didn't want any conflicts to arise because of the point selection problem.

Wang Hai said frankly, "Su Mo, if you like it, I'll let you have it."

"No, no, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that Wang Hai hasn't thought it through and doesn't want this point."

Su Mo said something that surprised everyone.

Before everyone could react, Su Mo pulled Wang Hai a few steps to the side and said very shamelessly

"Wang Hai, didn't you just tell me that you wanted this mining point number eighty-three?"

Hearing Su Mo's words, Syuris and the others' faces turned dark. He really knew how to make things up.

From the time they entered the conference room, they hadn't seen the two of them communicate with each other.

Wang Hai reacted very quickly, and immediately understood what Su Mo meant, and directly said, "Thank you, Su Mo, I almost made a mistake, that's right, what I want is mining point number eighty-three."

A bright smile appeared on Li Ruiqi's face. Since Wang Hai understood, how could he not see the problem?

Su Mo was reminding Wang Hai which one to choose. It seemed that Su Mo still remembered what he had told him before.

So Li Ruiqi directly said,

"Mining point number 83 belongs to Wang Hai."

Augulas and Sped on the side also reacted at this time, and their faces couldn't help but twitch. This kid was cheating.

After all, Su Mo was the first to set foot on that planet, so he would definitely find something more or less.

However, they didn't say anything.

Soon, only Su Mo was left who hadn't chosen.

The Counterfeit Creator·Devourer said coldly, "You gave the point that I gave you to someone else. Do you think you can choose a better area than the one I picked?"

"I have my own plans,"

Su Mo responded in his mind.

Seeing this, the Counterfeit Creator·Devourer stopped talking.

Augulas said at this time, "Su Mo, you're the only one left, you should choose quickly."

"Okay, I choose here, coordinate (323,111) area"

Su Mo directly stretched out his hand and pointed to an area on the planet that was not marked with any mining points.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was in an uproar, feeling very surprised.

"Su Mo, are you sure? No mining points have been detected in that area, maybe there's nothing there."

Sped reminded in a deep voice.

"I'm very sure, I want this area."

Su Mo's attitude was very firm.

"Okay!"

Li Ruiqi directly responded.

The Counterfeit Creator·Devourer in his mind asked a little puzzled: "What kind of area is that? Why choose there?"

"Hehe, that's the area where the insect queen appeared. If I'm not mistaken, the insect queen's nest is there. Since the insect king's nest has such good mines, I don't believe that the insect queen's nest won't have good mines. If I really lose the bet, I'll accept it."

Su Mo didn't hide anything and explained the reason to the Counterfeit Creator·Devourer.

After listening, the Counterfeit Creator·Devourer was silent for a few seconds and said.

"Okay."

At this time, Sped said to everyone in a deep voice: "Since everyone has chosen, then I will remind you of some precautions. First of all, the Federation will not collect taxes for this mining, and all the output will belong to you, which also means that the Federation will not help you mine, and you have to find a way to solve the mining problem yourself. Also, although the Zerg has been defeated, it does not mean that the Level 3 resource star is safe. There are still countless Zerg inhabiting it, so mining will still be attacked, and you have to solve this yourself."

"Understood!"

Su Mo and the others responded one after another.

"Since everyone has chosen, let's disband."

Augulas said with an unhappy expression. He also saw that Li Ruiqi must have benefited from this.

So Augulas and the other three left the conference room.

Only Su Mo and the other five were left in the conference room.

At this time, Wang Hai thanked Su Mo: "Thank you, Su Mo!"

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Su Mo replied with a smile.

"Don't thank me too early, what if Su Mo misjudged it? Wouldn't it be funny if there was a mishap?"

Syuris reminded seemingly kindly, but in fact he was also a little unhappy.

"It doesn't matter, good or bad is a matter of luck."

Wang Hai responded very frankly.

Su Mo coughed and said, "It shouldn't be too bad, I just passed by that mining point. If I didn't misjudge it, there is abundant Level 3 molybdenum ore inside."

As soon as these words came out, Syuris' expression became even more ugly.

Wang Hai also looked at Su Mo in astonishment: "You gave me such a good mining point?"

Wen Luosi walked to Su Mo's side and said a little regretfully: "Su Mo, you're not kind enough, you don't think of us when you have such a good thing."

"Cough, cough, don't say that, maybe the one you chose is better."

Su Mo replied awkwardly.

"Su Mo, the mining point you chose for Wang Hai is so good, is the mining point you chose even better?"

Wen Luosi asked curiously.

"No, no, I still have something to do, I'll go first."

Seeing that they all seemed very interested, Su Mo ran away quickly.

.......

-------------------------------------------

Black Obsidian, upper district, inside a super large independent villa courtyard.

A group of people in black suits, with good temperament, gathered here.

Looking closely, you can see that Lin Ming is among them, and even Lin Yixuan has rarely returned.

In front of them stood a group of elders with tense faces, who were constantly arguing.

At the front, an old patriarch of the Lin family, Lin Yuefeng, sat on a rattan chair, with a cane in his hand, closing his eyes, completely ignoring it.

Not counting Lin Ming's father, there were a total of five uncles and many other collateral elders on the scene.

Today, they all gathered together, not for anything else, but for the resource point problem.

The Lin family is currently allocated three resource points, plus the resource point in Lin Ming's hands, there are a total of four resource points.

Compared with other families, these four resource points are already very considerable, but who would dislike more meat, everyone wants to eat!

Especially Lin Ming's uncle, Lin Zhou, was extremely strong, and stubbornly insisted on eating a point alone.

"No matter what, I'll put my words here today. I want an independent resource point, isn't my request too much? You should know how much effort I put in, this is what I should get."

Lin Zhou said domineeringly.

The other brothers and sisters on the scene said: "The family has a total of four points, one of which is Lin Ming's, and only three are left. If you want to share one, how do we share it?"

"That has nothing to do with me, maybe you can persuade Lin Ming. Doesn't he already have a point? Let him not compete with you for the remaining two points."

Lin Zhou said directly.

.....

Now no one wants to suffer losses, just kidding! After mining the resources, they will return to the Federation.

At that time, the Federation will usher in the interstellar era, everyone will be released, and this wealth is their starting fund for returning.

Whoever gets more will have the highest starting point, and then they will fly farther.

To put it bluntly, if you return empty-handed, people will buy a warship with the first pot of gold they earn and start interstellar exploration.

Do you explore with your feet?

Lin Ming looked at the elders arguing endlessly on the scene, and had no intention of participating.

At this time, several elders walked to Lin Ming's side and said with a smile: "Lin Ming, you already have a point, why don't you stop competing with us."

Lin Ming's expression sank, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Just then, a voice sounded.

"The patriarch is here!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the scene was shocked.

"Patriarch Lin Yaotian is here?"

....

Suddenly, the originally chaotic scene immediately quieted down, and everyone stood up straight.

Lin Ming was also very surprised, his father was actually on the ship? He didn't even know about this.

Then Lin Ming said to the elders surrounding him: "My father is here, everything will be arranged by him, whatever he says is what he says."

The elders surrounding Lin Ming didn't say a word, and they all showed a trace of fear on their faces.

The only one on the scene was Lin Zhou who sneered: "What if the third brother comes? I still have the same opinion, I just want to eat a point."

At this time, a burst of footsteps came, and Lin Yaotian walked in with a stern face and his hands behind his back.

However, everyone's eyes widened when they saw Lin Yaotian.

"Patriarch, you?"

....

Hearing the strange sound, Lin Yuefeng subconsciously opened his eyes and looked at Lin Yaotian, he was also stunned.

He saw that one of Lin Yaotian's eyes was almost swollen into a panda eye.

Lin Yuefeng asked very puzzled: "What's wrong with you? You weren't beaten, were you?"

Lin Yaotian did not answer Lin Yuefeng, and his cold face also twitched slightly. He changed the topic and said to everyone on the scene: "I'm here today to allocate resources. I know you all want to allocate more points, but is that realistic? No matter how many resources there are, it's not enough for you to allocate, and what about the chaotic appearance? Where will the Lin family's face be put if it spreads out?"

For a time, everyone on the scene lowered their heads.

Just then, there was a fierce quarrel from the yard next door.

"Why do you allocate more!"

"Who do you think you are!"

.....

Then there was the sound of things being smashed.

The Lin family's neighbor is the Zhang family, and judging from this posture, they are about to fight.

In fact, there are many families arguing today, and they are all fighting over resources.

At this time, Lin Zhou said to Lin Yaotian: "I don't care how you allocate it, anyway, I want a point, just give me a straight answer, give it or not."

Lin Yaotian turned his head to look at Lin Zhou, and he said coldly: "Don't say one point, even if you want two points, there is no problem, but the premise is that you have the qualifications to take it. My rules are very simple, if you want to eat, show your contribution, and allocate resources according to the contribution, whoever contributes more will get more!"

"Have I contributed less?"

Lin Zhou replied with a somewhat ugly expression.

"How much effort you put in is not how much you say it, but how much you have done. I have a record of everyone's efforts, and I will show it to you now. Anyone who has any objections can raise them on the spot."

Lin Yaotian raised his left hand and tapped a few times on the wristband.

A holographic image popped up, densely recording everything everyone had done during the expedition.

Everyone was also speechless.

Lin Zhou's face was a little ugly, although he did a lot of work. But it can't stop the family from having many people, and the merits of others are added together.

From this allocation ratio, he will definitely not be allocated a point, at most half a point.

Lin Yaotian continued: "Lin Ming's point was obtained by himself, so it belongs to him. All other people, including me, will divide the remaining three resource points equally according to the ratio of effort, whoever has any objection, stand up now."

"We have no objection!"

The people of the Lin family on the scene stated one by one.

Lin Zhou was so angry that his face turned black, but he couldn't say anything now.

Lin Yuefeng looked at this scene and showed a sincere smile. Lin Yaotian really didn't let him down.

In fact, other families are basically controlled by the old patriarch, but only the Lin family is what Lin Yaotian says.

Most people in the clan also trust Lin Yaotian, after all, under the leadership of Lin Yaotian, the Lin family is getting stronger and stronger, and it is completely unmatched by the other four families.

Moreover, Lin Ming is still Wang Hai's substitute. As long as the family gives more effort and pushes Lin Ming hard in the future, Lin Ming will one day become a formal member of the GT department. At that time, the Lin family will usher in a truly high-profile period.

.......

------------------------------------------

On the other side, Su Mo put his hands in his pockets and left the GT department in a good mood.

He chatted with the Counterfeit Creator·Devourer in his mind: "Hehe, are you a little admiring me?"

The Counterfeit Creator·Devourer responded in a low voice: "Don't be too happy, although your idea is correct. But no one can say for sure until the moment it is mined."

"Do you think it is possible to mine energy crystals?"

Su Mo asked expectantly.

"Impossible, if it is an energy crystal, it is impossible to escape my scan, don't have any illusions in this regard. And you don't want to think about what kind of mine will be produced, you still have to think about how to mine it, mining is not an easy task."

The Counterfeit Creator·Devourer replied very definitely.

"Yeah, a little headache."

Su Mo stretched.

Buzz~

At this time, the mobile phone in Su Mo's pocket vibrated. He picked up the phone and glanced at it, revealing a playful smile.

"This Sun Duoxiang called at just the right time."

Then Su Mo answered the phone.

"Boss, where are you?"

"Why are you asking this, just say what's the matter."

Su Mo replied in a good mood.

"Boss, didn't you hear that a lot of people are sharing resources? Brothers are really so poor that they can't make ends meet."

Sun Duoxiang complained to Su Mo, he didn't lie. He gave all his last money to Su Mo, and he was really penniless.

"Okay, stop crying poor, find a quiet place, let's meet."

"Okay, I'll send you the address."

When Sun Duoxiang heard Su Mo say this, he immediately realized that there was a show, and replied excitedly.

Soon after, Su Mo came to a building in the lower city according to the address provided by Sun Duoxiang. He found the designated door and knocked on the door.

Creak!

The door was opened.

Sun Duoxiang quickly invited Su Mo in.

"Boss, come in quickly."

Su Mo walked in. This was the first time he came to Sun Duoxiang's house. The furnishings in the house were very ordinary.

It seems that even if Sun Duoxiang is rich, he is not too extravagant.

At this time, Zhang Hao and Mark greeted him one after another: "Boss, you're here."

Su Mo nodded and raised his hand to signal them to sit down.

"I have something good to tell you."

"What good thing!"

Sun Duoxiang and the others asked with shining eyes.

"My resource point reward has also been distributed."

"Really! Then we're rich, a Level 2 resource star point is now sky-high!"

"Correct me, it's not a Level 2 resource point, it's a Level 3 resource point."

Su Mo explained.

Hearing Su Mo's words, Sun Duoxiang and the others petrified and said stammeringly: "Boss, you didn't say anything wrong, a Level 3 resource point."

"Yes."

Su Mo replied calmly.

Sun Duoxiang felt a little breathless, and he swallowed.

"Then boss, aren't we rich."

"It should be about the same. Let me tell you briefly, this resource point is tax-free, and you don't have to pay taxes to the Federation. Therefore, we have to dig it ourselves. I plan to hand this matter over to you."

Su Mo said to Sun Duoxiang.

After listening, Sun Duoxiang said hesitantly.

"Boss, can I do it?"

"Why not? At least I trust you. And one more thing, I know you are now mixing with the Lin family, but this mining cannot call the people of the Lin family, because I don't plan to give it to others."

Su Mo instructed.

"I understand this, but I have a little shortage of manpower."

Sun Duoxiang replied with some embarrassment. In fact, if he could use the people of the Lin family, Sun Duoxiang would have as many people as he wanted. But Su Mo said this, the situation is different.

"It's okay, I've already thought about it for you, you go to Xiao Wen and Chen Shan and let them also participate."

Su Mo said to Sun Duoxiang.

"Then there's basically no problem."

Sun Duoxiang replied excitedly.

"Just call Mo Baoke as well."

After thinking for a while, Su Mo decided to call Mo Baoke as well. No matter what, he was also good to him before, and now that there are benefits, he should share a little with him.

Although that guy is a bit unreliable, he can still be used at critical moments.

"Ah, call Mo Baoke? Boss, will this cause problems?"

Sun Duoxiang was a little unwilling, Mo Baoke was just trying to steal his job, it would be hell if he was willing.

"That guy is indeed a bit unreliable, so you need to watch him a little, remember not to let him bring too many people."

Su Mo explained.

"Okay."

Seeing that Su Mo said so, Sun Duoxiang didn't say any more.

Su Mo stretched out his hand and pressed it on Sun Duoxiang's shoulder: "Work hard, don't worry, you will get a lot of benefits."

"Okay, okay!"

Sun Duoxiang replied quickly.
