Chapter 1713 Annoying
The team's financial crisis had long been alleviated, and the supply in the cave was not a problem at all.
Even though the main force has been wandering around the Federation for the past two years, those who stayed behind have been insisting on supplying, ensuring that there is more than enough for daily consumption.
However, the weapon spirit now feels that the trillions of energy blocks in its hands may not be able to support it to return to its peak.
Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment before asking, "This amount of resources shouldn't be enough to stump Jing Yuexin and the others, right?"
"The empire has changed now," Xiangxue replied, "How about I ask my father to explain it to you?"
Not long after, Mu Guang entered the cave, looked around curiously, and felt that his main force was really capable of doing things.
The awakened ones in this world grew up listening to the legends of immortal cultivators and are not unfamiliar with cave dwellings.
However, among the three kingdoms, only the Empire has such a cave, and it is guarded by countless troops and high-level awakeners.
It is said that the boss is the boss. No one can match him. He can actually lead the team to get another one.
Then Mu Guang began to explain the changes in the empire.
Currently, the war is still being fought in two directions. Although no alien races have been encountered, the empire has already begun to consider subsequent preparations.
If you don't plan for the future, you will have immediate worries. The empire increasingly believes that this will be a long-term battle, most likely lasting hundreds of years.
After encountering the alien race, the Federation and the Alliance suffered huge losses in the early stages due to insufficient preparation.
The lessons from the past are there for them to learn, and they can't help but worry about it.
Therefore, the Empire currently has stricter control over energy blocks.
Mu Guang could be sure that the government was definitely not targeting Digital Phantom.
Over the years, too many people have been punished for violating the regulations of the energy blocks, and the number of awakened people executed has reached three digits.
In comparison, the government was quite polite to the minerals under the name of Digital Phantom.
But even so, production and consumption must be thoroughly investigated, and the energy blocks they use for their own purposes must not be allowed to circulate on the market.
At the same time, many people approached Digital Phantom, wanting to secretly purchase some energy blocks at a premium.
In order to prove that the government did not do it on purpose, Mu Guang gave an example: subsidies for newborns were increased throughout the empire.
When it comes to population policy, the Empire has always been very proactive, much more so than the Federation and the Alliance.
Under such circumstances, the empire still had to increase population subsidies. Obviously, it was prepared to fight a Hundred Years' War.
In short, the Empire is now supervising very strictly, and the team's use of energy blocks is not affected, but it is not a good idea to make trouble out of nothing.
The key is that during the period when the main force of the team is away, the main task of those who stay behind is to maintain a good situation.
So they never caused any trouble, and over the years, the government got used to it.
If a large number of energy blocks were called upon suddenly, it would obviously alert the authorities.
However, Qu Jianlei didn't think this was a very important matter.
He said calmly, "Just let Jing Yuexin or Duo Gan show up and say that the team encountered a strong enemy in the Federation."
Mu Guang hesitated for a moment and said, "But what he meant was that at least 20 trillion should be added, and... the more the better."
Twenty trillion... Qu Jianlei grinned in distress, this number was really astonishing.
The key is that it may not be enough!
Does the Skyhook Cavern need so much energy? Qu Jianlei thought about it and finally said, "Then five billion will be fine!"
"The total inventory is probably not that much," Mu Guang shook his head.
"That's easy," Qu Jianlei groaned for a moment, then looked at Tianyin not far away, "Go and ask Jia Shuiqing to come in."
The old lady came in first and got instructions from the boss.
Qu Jianlei raised a few points of attention, and Jia Shuiqing did not question them. He just nodded and left.
And Mu Guang had one more thing, "The high imitation has been in a bad mood recently, so I brought it here."
High imitation... Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched again. This is Xiaohu's little brother!
But he didn't show anything, "Oh, what's wrong?"
Mu Guang had been in seclusion in Yanyu Terrace and was not very clear about Gao Fang's character.
So he said that other people think that the high imitation has been a bit autistic for more than half a year.
Qu Jianlei shook his head and said calmly, "Then leave it here and see who is willing to take care of it."
Mu Guang hesitated and said, "Boss, don't you want to meet him?"
This is not just his idea. Jing Yuexin and others also hope that the boss can get in touch with Gao Fang.
They knew very well that the boss's mood had been very strange recently, mainly because of artificial intelligence.
As for the younger brother of artificial intelligence, it might have a comforting effect if it meets the big brother.
Qu Jianlei just shook his head without even saying anything to explain.
He didn't know what to say. Anyway, he didn't want to see a monkey version of a big-headed butterfly appear in front of him.
Seeing his look, Mu Guang didn't say much. He toured the cave for a while and then left.
But in fact, the group of people outside the cave were all paying attention to Gao Fang’s arrival and were looking forward to the boss’s reaction.
Although no one said anything, his condition was really... a little worrying.
Some people even still have a trace of doubt, wondering... has the boss been possessed by another spirit?
Although several people are certain that he is still the original body, who can be sure about matters concerning his spirit and soul?
Hearing that the boss's reaction was indifferent, everyone lost interest.
But then, their attention shifted to the Skyhook Maze.
Qian Xienian's team has been attacking everywhere, and the economy is quite tight. Isn't it because of the maze incident?
Now that we finally see the light of day, how can we not be happy?
Dorgan volunteered to go to the Empire to deal with the energy blocks.
The flower scorpion focused her attention on Gao Fang. She wanted to know how the little guy felt now.
Before this, this confused mind had only been in contact with Xiao Hu's clone, and other people rarely could sense its thoughts.
But now, something has happened to artificial intelligence, and Scorpion wants to know the details.
In fact, she is considered to be someone who knows how to take care of children. At least when she took care of Claire, she did a good job... at least it was acceptable.
However, due to the trauma of his childhood, Gao Fang is very resistant to contact with outsiders, especially now, he is particularly introverted.
Jing Yuexin was also very concerned about this matter. When she found that the imitation fish was not cooperating, she asked the gold digger to scare it appropriately.
Although the gold digger is also a young fire spirit, her ability to communicate with others is acceptable and cannot be compared with that of a high-end imitation.
Moreover, its strength is superior to that of a newborn spiritual treasure.
But what’s strange is that the imitation not only has no sense of closeness to it, but is not actually afraid of it!
The Fire Spirit also has the cultivation level of Golden Core. Although it is a bit weak, it can basically beat the high imitations.
But Gaofang just didn't fall for it. When he saw danger, he hid behind the flower scorpion...
Although Qu Jianlei was still in seclusion, after dealing with these two things, he couldn't help but think of Gao Fang occasionally.
More than two months later, Dorgan came to report the situation: she had sent 70 trillion energy blocks to the Skyhook Maze!
There are also materials for three thousand sets of spiritual energy conversion arrays.
In addition, she also cancelled the abandoned mine site on Tianfeng Star because she knew that something big would happen in the maze in the near future.
In this case, there is no need to hold back on this point - it would only lead to trouble!
Xiao Moshan and Xiao Qin were arranged by her to live in Yanyutai.
Judging from these measures, the people in the team not only have careful thinking but also strong execution ability.
Qu Jianlei smiled and nodded, "It would be best if you can handle everything, so I can concentrate on my retreat."
He is really not the type to do everything himself. His subordinates are capable, so it's just a good opportunity for him to be lazy.
But the next moment, he was slightly stunned, "It seems that this cave is still lacking someone to take care of it!"
Duo Gan was a smart man who raised his eyebrows and said directly, "That high-end imitation... is also similar to the spirit of the weapon."
"Hey," Qu Jianlei shook his head first, then nodded, "Then let it in."
Not long after Dorgan left, the flower scorpion walked in with a cloud of red mist.
"Squeak!~" Red Mist saw the zone coming and made an incomprehensible cry.
But it was obvious that its mood had changed significantly.
The next moment, the red mist turned into a big-headed butterfly with a matchstick body.
Flower Scorpion stared at the scene blankly. She had seen this kind of imitation method more than once, and many other people knew about it as well.
She wasn't quite sure why the little guy chose this look.
Qu Jianlei felt really bad when he saw this, but the dead were gone, so he forced himself to control himself.
Zhengzheng is the one who inherited Xiaohu's habit, and he has no rejection when he comes into contact with him.
Qu Jianlei has already escaped from the worst condition, and the current nursing is actually just a slow and steady process.
So he has a lot of spare time, and he communicates with Gao Fang from time to time.
Gao Fang was ignorant and willing to be close to him, but now he could no longer find the feeling he had when he first met Xiao Hu.
After all, I have lived two lives, my life span is over a hundred years, and I have reached the Nascent Soul stage. It is really difficult to get back to the mentality I had back then.
Therefore, the contact between the two was also bumpy and the communication was not very smooth.
Qu Jianlei just roughly said that you can treat this place as a temporary home and try to control some authority.
He intended to cultivate Gao Fang into a spirit in his portable cave, which could be regarded as finding a new home for it.
But he didn't intend to force it, and this place was not originally the birthplace of high imitations, so it would be difficult to integrate seamlessly.
The relationship between the cave and the spirit of the artifact is best developed naturally, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee the degree of compatibility.
As for the prospects of high-end imitations, Jiao Daoren and Yi He could not give a clear answer - there were too many possibilities.
But if Qu Jianlei insists on pushing it forward, then let it be nurtured for a few more years, and the degree of compatibility will gradually increase.
However, the imitations don’t really care about this, or they are just stupid enough.
It tried many times but only gained a little authority, which was not as effective as Qu Jianlei's Nascent Soul proxy.
But no matter what, it is better than Tianyin running around everywhere, and it can at least be of some use.
What made Qu Jianlei a little helpless was that Gao Fang would ask from time to time where the big-headed butterfly's big brother had gone.
This is particularly disturbing.
