Chapter 1361: Fight with reason
When Dorgan heard the human face's words, he flashed out of the cave and came back in less than a minute.
This place is less than two thousand kilometers away from the mine, and it can be handled with a little use of spiritual sense.
"They have been informed of the purchase, but it will take some time."
The human face originally didn't want to pay attention to her, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but say something.
"Your ability to mobilize supplies is really..."
"It's already pretty good," Qu Jianlei replied helplessly, "No one has noticed yet that the empire has a group of would-be immortal cultivators."
Do you really think this is the world of immortal cultivation, where all supplies can be purchased openly?
That is to say, Digital Phantom has made some progress now. Twenty years ago, even this little bit of stuff was not available!
"Okay then," the human face didn't care much, "Let's get started now."
Qu Jianlei and the other two first screened the map and chose a place beside a river valley with lush trees as their training site.
The main reason is that the fog here is very heavy and there are few people, so the probability of being disturbed is very low.
There are exotic beasts living in this kind of place, including some at the top of A-level. Ordinary Supremes will have a headache if they encounter them.
The three of them took three days to easily eliminate the strange beasts and open up a training ground.
Then they built a spirit gathering formation and began to practice.
As for the spirit gathering arrays in other places, Xiaohu will have to command the robots to work.
In fact, the robots encountered many potential troubles as they rushed to the formation setting point.
However, Qu Jianlei and the other two decided to start practicing, and the relevant procedures were handed over to the human face.
The spirit of the weapon didn't really care about this point. No one knew whether it was because its strength was too strong or it was just a temporary breakdown.
One robot after another quickly disappeared in front of the three people, along with a large amount of supplies and energy blocks.
After about five days, the small lake gave feedback. More than 600 spiritual energy conversion arrays have been set up and are being opened one after another!
For the first time, Qu Jianlei felt that having such a spirit to help him could really save him a lot of trouble.
However, after another ten days, the big-headed butterfly started to move, "Boss, the energy block expenditure is a bit high."
In these ten days, fluctuations in two spirit gathering formations have attracted the attention of the guards.
However, the weapon spirit decisively destroyed it and rebuilt it nearby not long after, so this was not a big deal.
The key is that the consumption of energy blocks is a bit astonishing. Each formation consumes about 600,000 energy blocks a day.
The normal operation of the formation is 200,000 to 400,000 energy blocks, and the upper limit can be increased to 800,000 or even 1 million.
The spirit of the weapon hopes that the transformation of spiritual energy can be faster, but Qu Jianlei says it cannot be too fast, otherwise the wear and tear of the formation will be alarming.
So after comprehensive calculations, a consumption of around 600,000 yuan is a more appropriate speed.
However, when more than 600 spirit gathering arrays are activated at the same time, not counting various losses, the energy blocks consumed every day are 380 million.
Over these ten days, the total expenditure has approached 4 billion yuan.
Xiao Hu had to panic, "Boss, we only brought 40 billion in total, and we can only last about 100 days."
The bulk of these energy blocks came from the batch that Dogan had raised in the beginning, plus some other pieces from various sources, totaling 40 billion.
It is impossible to gather more in the short term. After all, both the mine and Skyhook's villa need to reserve appropriate energy blocks.
There are also a large number of energy blocks stored on regimental-level ships and experimental platforms, which are convenient for everyone to use at any time.
After hearing this, Qu Jianlei could only shake his head helplessly. Those spare energy blocks could not be withdrawn!
"Maintaining a cave is extremely expensive!"
But there is no way. After practicing here for ten days, I feel that it is indeed... better than outside.
This is not just a psychological effect. The spirit of the weapon has long said that the rules of heaven and earth in the cave are different from those in the outside world.
In order to resist the assimilation of the cave by this world, it consumed a large amount of spiritual energy!
The realms of Qu Jianlei and the other two are high enough that they can more or less sense the difference.
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and took the initiative to release his spiritual consciousness, "Senior, how is the effect of the recent changes in spiritual energy?"
"It's OK," the spirit replied with its divine sense, "the rate of environmental deterioration is slowing down a little bit."
Is it just that the rate of deterioration has slowed down? Qu Jianlei couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
"How long will it take to completely stop the deterioration?"
Xiaohu cannot answer this question because it has no relevant original records.
Not to mention the perception of spiritual energy, even its understanding of the cave is far inferior to that of the spirit of the instrument.
The spirit of the weapon thought for a moment and replied, "It will take at least 20 to 30 years... Don't worry, this is not a short-term job."
"With the current results, we can see some hope. Even if there is no second phase of the project, a hundred or eighty years will definitely be enough."
"How can I not be anxious?" Qu Jianlei laughed bitterly, "I have already spent 4 billion in these ten days!"
The spirit thought for a moment before answering, "Oh, thirty years would cost more than four trillion... That's not too much, right?"
Its meaning is very clear, and it has high expectations for the second and even third phases of the project.
Qu Jianlei was completely speechless: I'm just wondering, how can you have the nerve to say these three words "not much"!
Of course, he couldn't say that, so he could only sigh, "Senior, my financial situation is a bit problematic..."
After hearing what he said, the spirit of the weapon was speechless. After a long while, he muttered, "How can we be so poor?"
You say I'm poor? Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched. Although I still pick up some garbage from time to time, I'm really not poor.
Go to the Empire and ask anyone, who would think that the Number Key Phantom is short of money?
You have to have an idea of money! The total population of the empire has just exceeded 100 billion!
Qu Jianlei sighed, "Senior, what we are doing now is to repair a cave!"
Without waiting for the other party to respond, he said, "I can call on my teammates outside to speed up the collection of energy blocks."
"But I really can't guarantee this effect. After all, we only have so much at home!"
The weapon spirit continued to remain silent, and it was unclear whether it was struck or not.
Qu Jianlei ignored it and continued to talk to himself, "But my teammates have contributed money and effort, I can't let them work in vain!"
"And they also have the need to practice, and the practice environment here is better!"
Now that I’ve said it, I might as well be more thorough - those teammates are staying in the abandoned mine not to mine!
The spirit of the weapon remained silent for a long time before asking, "So what about this second phase of the project?"
Well, this person's thinking is out of control again! Qu Jianlei is really helpless.
"To be honest, with our current wealth, it's hard for the first phase of the project to last more than ten years!"
"So my teammates need to practice efficiently so that they can have time to look for money!"
"As long as they can keep it a secret, I don't care!" The spirit of the weapon finally gave a positive response.
"Of course, there is still a basic requirement. It cannot be a pure awakener system!"
"At the very least, I have to be like them. At least I have changed my cultivation method!"
The discrimination is really deep-rooted.
"Of course," Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, "We spent all our money to improve the cultivation environment, why should we let outsiders get away with it?"
"Then you go and make the arrangements," the weapon spirit said indifferently, "By the way, you must personally lead the people in and out!"
It has gradually accepted the existence of Jing Yuexin and Duo Gan, but it only recognizes Qu Jianlei.
"That will delay me from going out to find money!" Qu Jianlei answered simply, "How about this, we have an identity recognition system..."
After the weapon spirit heard the information on the identification card, it was a little surprised for a moment, "You really have a wild imagination!"
"But this system is really good. Even in the world of immortal cultivation, I have never heard of anyone having this thing!"
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei secretly sighed, it is really not easy to hear a word of praise from you, old man!
However, the next moment, the weapon spirit changed the subject.
"It's not very meaningful to low-level cultivators, and it's not necessary for high-level cultivators...so there's no need to study it."
You know you can easily get beaten if you talk like that?
Qu Jianlei asked in a deep voice, "Then should I...go out for a while now?"
"Go ahead," the weapon spirit directly opened the cave entrance not far ahead, "Go quickly and come back quickly, it's time for you to strive for the Nascent Soul stage!"
Qu Jianlei gave a bitter smile when he heard this. With the little money I have now, I’m afraid I may not be able to survive until the Nascent Soul stage!
He slipped out of the cave and saw another vast expanse of white snow.
Then he made a few flashes and arrived at the abandoned mine.
The first person to sense him was Old Lady Jia, who came out in a flash, "The boss is out? Are you used to living in there?"
This statement has a bit of a Prison on Fire vibe to it... Qu Jianlei smiled, then sighed, "I have to get out, I have to make some money!"
"We are also raising money recently," Mrs. Jia nodded, "Another 5 billion will be coming into our account soon, and I will use it to circulate it with my friends."
After a pause, she carefully asked, "Is the cost of the energy blocks inside... high?"
The last time Dogan came out, he stayed for less than a minute, and his spiritual consciousness didn't tell him much.
But everyone has guessed that purchasing more materials and speeding up the operation of the energy blocks should consume a lot of energy.
It was also because of this that Mrs. Jia risked being exposed and asked someone to find 5 billion energy blocks for her.
Even though she is the combat ceiling of Digital Phantom, in the eyes of outsiders, she is just an outdated supreme being who may die at any time!
Moreover, her identity is a bit sensitive and she is on some suspect lists.
Therefore, it was not easy for her to get 5 billion, and only she knew the hard work involved.
Qu Jianlei smiled bitterly when he heard this, "The expenses are extremely high... Forget it, let's not talk about this for now."
He looked around and found that most people had come out. "I have good news for everyone. You can all enter the maze to practice!"
"Great!" Claire immediately waved her fist, "I can also enjoy the treatment of a student in the academy!"
Qu Jianlei felt a bit... mixed emotions after hearing this. A Grade A dark attribute master had actually only been to school for a few days!
In fact, if Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi had not met her mother Judy, the little girl would never have grown up!
