Chapter 291: Luck
[Hint: Your zombie clone has excavated. You have obtained shrapnel*2.]
[Hint: Your zombie clone has excavated. You have obtained small rocks*4...]
In front of Gobi Desert.
Fang Heng opened a packet of durian-flavoured Oreos and stuffed one into his mouth. Then, he handed the rest to Mo Jiawei.
“Here? Have a taste?”
“No need, God. I’m not hungry yet.”
Mo Jiawei and Fang Heng were standing on a high cliff not far away, looking down.
More than 300 zombies gathered together, wielding iron picks and constantly digging into the interior of the mountain wall.
The rocks they dug out had already piled up to a few small hills.
Fang Heng stuffed another piece of biscuit into his mouth.
After thinking for a while, he decided to play dirty this time.
“Fang Heng, have you noticed that Lucia seems a little weird today?”
“Eh? What’s weird about her?”
“I think she looks at me with a murderous look in her eyes.”

Mo Jiawei rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then asked with confusion, “Am I overthinking? I don’t think I’ve ever offended her.”
“Yeah, I don’t understand either. I think you’re overthinking.”
Mo Jiawei didn’t think about it anymore. He looked at the big hole dug by the zombie team and asked, “Is the crystal ore we’re looking for inside?”
“I think so.”
Fang Heng opened the blueprint of the cave and explained it to Mo Jiawei.
“It’s like this. The Night Owl organization has prepared explosives in the passage opening on the other side.”
“The Federation should also know about Night Owl’s actions, but they haven’t made any moves yet. They’re just secretly observing from the side.”
“I also don’t know what kind of trick they’re playing, so let’s be straightforward and dig a passage through here directly. We’ll think of a way to be faster than Night Owl’s people.”
“We will secretly dig out all the ores inside, pack them up and take them away.”
Fang Heng once again reiterated the strategy to Mo Jiawei.
“In short, try to get as many benefits as possible. Don’t get into a conflict with the Federation and Night Owl’s people. They can fight each other, and we can mine the ores.”
Hearing that, Mo Jiawei nodded in agreement.
He then lowered his head to look at the zombie team that was busy digging.
“But, Fang Heng, with so many zombies gathered together, isn’t the commotion a little big? We won’t be discovered by night owl or the federation, Right?”
“We only started digging after crossing the other side of the Gobi Desert. If anyone wants to discover us, they have to cross the Gobi Desert as well. Night Owl’s people are still busy digging, so theoretically, they won’t be able to discover us.”
“What about the Federation?”
Mo Jiawei was more worried about the Federation.
“The people of the Federation have been keeping an eye on this mine and the Night Owl organization. It’s a little troublesome to investigate at night. It’s daytime now. If we send more people to strengthen the inspection, I’m afraid we might be exposed.”
“You’re right. So to prevent accidents, I asked Lucia to bring the Lickers to play with the people from the Federation. Let them get busy.”
“Play...”
Listening to Fang Heng’s casual narration, Mo Jiawei felt a chill down his spine.
He wasn’t sure what Fang Heng meant by playing with toys.
However, when Mo Jiawei was called by Fang Heng to participate in the special mission last night, he had seen the red Lickers with his own eyes.
It was too terrifying.
If he were in the Federation, he wouldn’t have the mood to go to the other side of the Gobi Desert to investigate when he saw a group of Lickers surrounding the shelter early in the morning.
“Ha...”
Fang Heng yawned as he spoke.
He hadn’t slept all night, so he was a little tired.
He forced himself to perk up.
“I’ll have to rely on you from now on, Jiawei!”
“Huh?”
Mo Jiawei was confused. He pointed at his nose.
“Up to me? What do I have to do with it?”
Mo Jiawei felt strange. He was woken up by Fang Heng in the middle of the night, and then came to watch the zombies mine.
He felt that he didn’t have much use. At most, he would help Fang Heng look after the simple bed when he went offline.
“Of course, there’s something to do.”
Fang Heng’s expression was exceptionally serious.
“Brother, stop pretending. I already know everything. During this period, I often go to the gym. I’ve heard of your amazing deeds. You’re very lucky, right?”
When Mo Jiawei heard this, his expression froze.
“Fang Heng, don’t listen to their nonsense. It’s all fake! It’s a lie!”
“It can’t be fake. In the beginning, I was also skeptical. Later on, I thought about it and realized that it was true.”
“Generally speaking, you were born as the chosen one, the direct heir of North River Heavy Industry. You’re the only one and there is no competitor. Once you enter the game, you immediately have an S-level talent, and the mission that you randomly accepted turns out to be the main storyline of the Dark Knights...”
“Going into details, when the sewer exploded, the shrapnel that fell from your head was always the smallest.”
“I also heard from the other brothers in the gym that when you were young, your great-grandfather tested your uncles’ business skills and gave them a sum of money to invest in their businesses. He wanted to see which of them could get 100 million as fast as possible.”
“In the end, your Sixth Uncle brought you to the casino. Is that true?”
Listening to Fang Heng’s serious narration, Mo Jiawei felt like crying.
“Indeed, but... but that time at the casino, my Sixth Uncle even lost his underwear...”
Fang Heng’s words were conclusive.
“Then there must be something wrong with this casino.”
“There’s no choice. The time is too short, and I can’t find a high-level geological exploration player to find the specific mineral point of the crystal ores, so I’m relying on you.”
As Fang Heng spoke, he handed the hand-drawn map to Mo Jiawei.
“Come, point at a random location.”
“Fang Heng, don’t do these metaphysical things.”
“Hurry up and pick a random location. I won’t let you take the blame.”
Mo Jiawei had never thought that Fang Heng had dragged him here for this.
Seeing that he couldn’t escape from it, he could only silently point at a random location. “Then, let’s do it here. What do you think?”
“I think it’s not bad either.”
Fang Heng glanced at the spot that Mo Jiawei pointed at, then controlled a part of the zombie team to change the angle and start digging in another direction.
...
Eight hours later.
Mo Jiawei and Fang Heng each drank two tons of coffee.
“Fang Heng, we’ve been digging for so long, but there’s still no movement. Did we pick the right place?”
“Don’t worry. We’ll see. You have to believe in your ability.”
Mo Jiawei thought to himself, “What ability do I have?”
Fang Heng was calm.
At this stage of the game, the player’s level was too low. There was no way to find the exact location of the crystal mine.
Anyway, it was just a random bet.
He was half serious and half joking when he asked Mo Jiawei to guess.
Fang Heng had a backup plan.
A large number of zombies crowded together to dig, which would affect the efficiency. Therefore, he divided the zombie team into three teams. Two teams were digging in different directions, and one team was responsible for transporting the excavated stones.
One team was digging along the passage pointed out by Mo Jiawei, while the other team was digging toward the location of the laboratory marked on Deng Xin’s hand-drawn map.
Fang Heng felt that if Mo Jiawei failed, he could still try to get information about the crystal ore from the laboratory.
Anyway, there was still plenty of time.
While he was thinking, the game suddenly gave a hint of a new message.
[Hint: Your zombie clone has excavated, you have obtained inferior blue crystal ore*2.]
[Hint: You have learned the method to identify blue crystal ore from the NPC Qiu Yaokang.]
It’s here!
Huh?
It’s from Mo Jiawei’s passage!
