Chapter 5 The Gold Mine's Power (Debt Repayment x8)
This team now has more than a dozen people. If Fang Senyan is present, then it undoubtedly equates to adding more than a dozen pieces of deep blue/light blue equipment with no equipment requirements – the extent of his assistance to the team is self-evident!
Reef, who always seemed lifeless, frowned and thought for a long time after seeing this, and suddenly said:
"Could your ability have been obtained from the Lord of the Rings world? Yes! I remember seeing the wizard Saruman using similar potions, of course, those potions were much more powerful!"
Fang Senyan smiled, neither admitting nor denying it. Just based on the blending ability he had demonstrated, he had gained the recognition of the others. What's more, his other identity was as a melee-type Strength Contractor?
This means that he will usually charge to the front line with Reef, and even temporarily replace Reef's position as a temporary defender in some cases. He is the kind of inconspicuous but extremely important person – similar to a defensive player like Bowen of the Spurs in basketball: low-key, but indispensable to those in the know!
It can be said that Fang Senyan's importance and position in the team, at least from this moment on, is absolutely not inferior to Mogansha and Joel, the two iconic arrow figures!
However, to the surprise of these Contractors, Fang Senyan was as low-key as Reef. After introducing his specialities and representative abilities, he stood silently aside, seemingly without any intention of competing for leadership. This made Joel, who had always been obsessed with seizing power, greatly praise Allah, Jesus Christ, Buddha, and God in his heart, thanking them for sending these two extremely important yet indifferent-to-fame guys to his side.
This group of Contractors are not newbies. Even if they haven't eaten pork, they've seen pigs walk. After a brief discussion, they assigned tasks according to each Contractor's different abilities and specialities. For example, Hanik, who is fast, is of course exploring the surrounding terrain; Tulip, who has high charm, is talking with plot characters to obtain information; and the Hanlanke is starting to copy spell scrolls, while also preparing to organize his casting position, replacing some of the previously prepared offensive spells with crowd control ones.
As for Joel and Mogansha, the ranged attackers, they began to wander around, observing the terrain and adapting to the arid and barren environment of this planet. These veterans also had to assess various survival conditions and allocate various supplies, and so on.
Fang Senyan then went to the central hall of the entire base, which was also built entirely of steel. From a distance, it looked like a huge steel fortress, with countless lights flashing on it. Busy SCVs occasionally emerged from it in a hurry, and many people were also busily walking around inside. Every few meters on the surrounding steel walls, there was a holographic screen, with soldiers next to them copying some data or something, and they would run away in a hurry after a while.
The place where the quartermaster named Angers was located was very difficult to find, actually in a corner room on the third floor of the central hall. And it actually seemed to be a cold, middle-aged spinster. One could imagine the inhuman discrimination that Fang Senyan, whose charm was even less than that of a normal person, would suffer in front of her. Although she showed a look of surprise in her eyes when she saw Fang Senyan (Legendary +1), she was still too lazy to even talk to Fang Senyan, raising her left hand and waving it, driving Fang Senyan out of her cabin like shooing away a fly.
Fang Senyan was not annoyed – he was used to being despised by plot characters. As the saying goes, familiarity breeds contempt, so he didn't care at all. The reason he went in to humiliate himself was to confirm that there was indeed something for sale here. Of course, Fang Senyan is a very vengeful beast, so the next step was to directly summon his servant. As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days is for the moment of need. Now is the best time to test the three strange abilities of the Gold Mine: Bully, Deceit, and Penny-Pinching.
The summoned Goblin Gold Mine seemed to be brushing its teeth, its mouth full of white foam, and it gargled and spat the mouthwash onto the clean and bright base floor. After looking around at the surrounding environment, it immediately slipped into the corner like a mouse, and immediately took out an oversized plate armor and put it on. This made the Gold Mine instantly transform into a flat, round tin can, with only two beady eyes peeking out from the seams of the breastplate, looking around everywhere.
Seeing this shameless and cowardly appearance, Fang Senyan spread his hands in unusual silence and said:
"Come out, come out, there's business coming."
Hearing the word "business," the goblin's green pointed ears immediately flapped, and it pounced in front of Fang Senyan, pitifully saying:
"Time is money! My master, the market has been very sluggish recently, but the expenses here are very high. Please show me the way!"
Fang Senyan pointed to the room next to him:
"There's a fat sheep inside."
"Fat sheep!" Gold Mine exclaimed excitedly: "I really like this word, yes, I really like it! I seem to have already heard the sound of gold coins flowing through my fingers."
Saying that, this little green dwarf took out a broken half of an old magic wand and cast a transformation spell on himself, transforming into an even more wretched old man in a suit and leather shoes. Leading Fang Senyan, he kicked the door open and rushed inside excitedly. Naturally, the old spinster Angers let out a soprano-like scream:
"God! I must be dreaming. I'll give you two dirty rats three seconds to disappear from my sight, or the guards will strangle you and throw you out!"
Gold Mine coughed nonchalantly, spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the clean and fluffy carpet with a puff, and wiped its mouth with its greasy sleeves, haughtily saying:
"Madam, I'm here to conduct a cost accounting of your current business operations and conduct tax rate statistics – to put it simply, if you embezzle even a penny, I will expose you and use it as evidence to prosecute you for dereliction of duty."
Auntie Angers' piercing, angry voice immediately rang out:
"You... what right do you have!"
Gold Mine fumbled in its arms for a long time, finally took out a messy stack of papers, licked its finger, and quickly searched through the pile of papers, finally taking out a piece of paper with the words: "The holder is doing things that are beneficial to the country. Roman. Nokte of the Independent Commission Against Corruption." And there was a bright red seal behind the slip.
Seeing this, the originally arrogant Angers was immediately stunned.
"How could you have Mr. Roman's certificate!"
Gold Mine said arrogantly:
"That's not something you should know! Madam, if you continue to prevaricate, then I will prosecute you for obstructing the performance of official duties! Also! You humble female creature, how dare you treat me, a living legend, with this attitude?"
Fang Senyan's eyeballs were about to pop out beside him. It turned out that the legendary thing that seemed so ethereal could actually be used like this! Under Gold Mine's bombardment of spittle-flying language, this Angers finally "wimped out". Presumably, she also had some unclear things in her accounts, so she could only smile and say:
"This... sir, I have to process the entry and exit accounts of hundreds of soldiers every day, and there will inevitably be some discrepancies."
Fang Senyan and Gold Mine, this pair of master and servant, one with two points of Charm and the other with one point of Charm, Angers, this middle-aged spinster, must not have any common language with them, and she must have been cursing and spitting madly in her heart, wanting to drive these scum-like idiots out of her sacred office, but at this time, she still had to smile respectfully and explain, and she didn't know how suffocated she was.
Gold Mine sat down grandiosely on Auntie Angers' soft leather seat and even shook it. Angers was trembling with anger all over, but she still had to put on a smile and point out the account book to Gold Mine. However, although Gold Mine was uneducated, it had a natural sensitivity to numbers. A few words made Angers break out in cold sweat. Gold Mine pressed a button on the table smoothly and ordered Angers to open the highest authority. Angers, who had been caught with a handle, was in a mess in her heart, her eyes were dull, and her face was ashen, and she could only satisfy Gold Mine's request.
Immediately, a holographic 3D purchase light screen appeared in front of Fang Senyan, with a long list of purchase menus on it! It even had items that required the highest reputation level of Revered to be purchased! Fang Senyan was overjoyed and wanted to kiss Gold Mine's cute face, but soon this excitement was frightened by the terrifying amount required for the purchase.
For example, in the Revered-level purchase menu of the Steel Whip base, Fang Senyan most wanted to get his hands on the: ghost standard-issue devil individual combat equipment. This set of equipment comes with stealth, lock-on interference creatures, and the ability to call in tactical nuclear bomb positioning, all in one. Although this set of equipment is no longer available in this world after purchase, as long as you wear it, it will be difficult to die. However, its purchase price in Fang Senyan's eyes is a terrifying 100,000 Universal Points, 30 Potential Points, and even more painfully, it actually requires a key prop called "Cerebrate Core"!
