Chapter 289 Crystal Ore
“Oh, Night Owl…”
Chen Yu stammered.
“About that… actually, I’ve recently been… deployed somewhere. I’m no longer in charge of that side. Why are you asking about this…”
The corners of Fang Heng’s mouth twitched, and he said, “So after you have been used, they kicked you out of the investigation team, is it?”
“Uh… Fang Heng, Don’t rub salt into the wound at this time…”
Chen Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, picked up the coffee on his desk and took a small sip.
“I’ve been entrusted with another role by the leaders. Recently, I’m mainly in charge of the overall planning of the recent Blood Moon incident in Server 8.”
Fang Heng interrupted, “Do me a favour. I heard that Night Owl might be doing something in the Desert Gobi region. Help me find out if there’s any specific news from there?”
“Is that so? I haven’t heard about it. I’ll go and ask around. Wait for my call.”
“Okay.”
Fang Heng hung up the phone, sat cross-legged on the futon and closed his eyes to meditate.
About half an hour later, Chen Yu’s call came again.
“Fang Heng, you’re right. I’ve asked a few friends about it. There has indeed been a secret emergency operation in the past two days. The location is in the Desert Gobi region.”
“I have a feeling that this matter might be related to Night Owl because the person in charge of the operation is Zhang Zhe.”
Chen Yu’s tone was also a little uncomfortable.
“I just tried to ask Zhang Zhe, but he said ‘it’s a secret’ and did not reveal anything after that.”
Fang Heng pursed his lips.
It’s him again! Zhang Zhe!
Fang Heng’s impression of Zhang Zhe had never been very good.
If it was Chen Yu who was in charge, Fang Heng was prepared to discuss it with him and seek revenge on Night Owl together.
Since the person in charge was Zhang Zhe, there was no need to do that.
Sensing that Fang Heng had gone silent, Chen Yu had a bad feeling.
“Uh, Fang Heng, something on your mind?”
“Don’t do anything rash. Leave it to our Federation to handle.”
“Yes, I know. Contact me if there’s anything next time.”
Hearing the call hang up, Chen Yu sighed silently.
He felt that with Fang Heng’s personality, he would most likely cause some trouble again.
After thinking about it, Chen Yu decided to send a message to Fang Heng to tell him to be more vigilant and be more careful.
He had just finished typing and sent it over.
“Fang Heng refuses to accept your call…” He was blocked!
Chen Yu gritted his teeth and turned off his phone.
Fang Heng decided to do it himself.
Federation? Night Owl?
His 200 Lickers would be enough to crush them, right?
As the saying goes, “The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows.” He would let them fight first, and then he would sit back and reap the benefits.
After making up his mind, Fang Heng returned to the research room and prepared to lead the group of Lickers that had just completed their evolutionary transformation to join the battle.
“Qiu Yaokang, how’s the Licker transformation going?”
Qiu Yaokang was operating the machine table with a few researchers. He did not even turn his head. “The last batch is still in the process of transformation. It will be completed in ten minutes.”
Fang Heng nodded.
To save some money, Fang Heng did not choose to use his survival points to complete the transformation in an instant. Instead, he would use the time slowly.
He walked to the side of Qiu Yaokang.
“Oh right, there’s still this thing. Help me check it.”
Qiu Yaokang took the small rock in Fang Heng’s hand and carefully examined it under the light. “Interesting. Where did it come from?”
“I picked it up from a cave in the desert.”
Qiu Yaokang walked to the experiment table at the side and put the rock under the microscope to observe.
“It’s a very strange crystal structure. It’s very rare. I need to conduct a thorough examination.”
Half an hour later, Qiu Yaokang found Fang Heng with a detailed inspection report.
“Fang Heng, you found another good thing.”
Fang Heng’s eyelids twitched.
Even Qiu Yaokang thought it was a good
thing…
“What is it?”
“Do you still remember the high-level energy crystal that you obtained from the Meteorite Company in Pine City not long ago?”
“It’s this?”
Fang Heng had a very good impression of the high-level energy crystal.
It was a blue square crystal.
The high-level energy crystal contained extremely powerful energy.
It was a little difficult to use as a power source, but it could be used to activate the space tearing device.
“Yes, it’s a homologous ore, but the ore in your hand is a very low-quality crystal. Its utilization rate is very low, so it can’t be made into a high-level energy crystal. It can be made into the lowest-level energy crystal.”
“I’ve seen the information you brought out from the Meteorite Company. Where did you find it? I’m sure there should be a high-level crystal ore nearby.”
“High-level crystal ores are usually produced in small quantities. If there’s a chance, it’s best to think of a way to collect them.”
It was a high-level ore!
Fang Heng was first delighted, but then he realized that something was not right.
Night Owl had gathered a group of players from the black market just to mine?
There must be a problem!
Combined with the information from Chen Yu and Deng Xin, there were very few official members of the Night Owl organization who were operating in Server 8!
Most of Night Owl’s operations were through Old Black acting as a middleman, recruiting mercenary groups like Deng Xin from the black market to work.
This meant that the investment of the Night Owl organization in Server 8 was very small.
At this stage, they had no intention of establishing a shelter at all.
If that was the case, did Night Owl need this kind of high-level energy crystal?
Not only did they not have the space tearing device, but they also had no way to transport the ores to another game world.
Just to sell for money?
Fang Heng lowered his head.
He suddenly thought of what Deng Xin had said, that Night Owl had buried a large number of explosives in the iron mine…
Could it be…
A trap?
Night Owl had deliberately let the Federation discover them, then lured the Federation into the passage, and then thought of a way to bury them alive together with the crystal
ores?
Good fellow!
Fang Heng called him a good fellow.
The best hunters often appeared as prey.
Was it the Federation who had set up a trap for Night Owl or Night Owl who had plotted to trap the Federation?
But if that was the case, what would happen to the laboratory that had been deliberately sealed and buried by the Meteorite Company?
Fang Heng scratched his head.
He felt that his intelligence was a little lacking.
“F*ck…”
Fang Heng cursed softly.
Regardless of whether the Federation had taken the bait or not, he had already taken the bait.
The space tearing device was too useful! It was too convenient!
During this period, he often used the space tearing device to run around the world.
He was already addicted.
The remaining high-level energy crystal could continue to open the space tearing passage for about a day. If he did not find new energy, he would not be able to continue using the device to teleport.
In addition, after the completion of the Tier 3 space tearing device, there was also a gap in the energy.
According to Victor, the Tier 3 space tearing device would give rise to a
time passage. At that time, it would consume even more energy!
He needed more high-level energy crystals!
Crystal ores!
He had to get them!
Fang Heng took out the hand-drawn map made by Deng Xin from his backpack.
“No matter what tricks Night Owl and the Federation are up to, I want these crystal
ores…”
Fang Heng muttered to himself.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s by brute force or dirty means…”
