Studying Science in the Alternate World Chapter 39

  Chapter 39 Hippidil Mining Company

  The effect of the repaired 2-ring constant temperature card is definitely not as good as the new card.

   "But it's worth at least 15 gold dragons!" Duke put this 2-ring spirit card into a small box next to his bed, and there were several refurbished spirit cards in it, all of which were of course 1-ring spirit cards.

  A 2-ring constant temperature card on the market costs about 40 gold dragons, and it is no problem to sell a refurbished second-hand card for 15 gold dragons.

   "Chiji."

  Xiaodou lay on the edge of the fish tank, watching the golden-bellied ink carp swimming around inside.

  The loss of half of the tail did not hinder the swimming of this spirit fish. Duke also found some algae and stones to put in the fish tank, making the whole fish tank full of vitality.

  There are orchids in the flower pot next to it, and the leaves have curled up at night.

   "Come on, Xiaodou!" Duke waved, and Xiaodou immediately jumped onto his shoulder.

  Walking out of the door, he jumped lightly with both feet, hooked the eaves of the house with his hands, exerted strength on his back, and jumped directly onto the roof of the warehouse.

   Sitting cross-legged on the top, the Sand Eagle suddenly appeared on the right hand.

   Look inside the spiritual sea.

  Xiaoyi's progress table is very clear.

   "Process 1: Meditation in the field, 40% power consumption when on-hook..."

   "Process 2: Sand Eagle 1.1 muzzle compensator version, research and development consumes 55% of the power. The current research and development progress is 51.1%, and the time budget is 12 days."

   "Process 3: Chat dialogue program, reserve 5% power."

  After being promoted to a three-star spiritual apprentice, Xiaoyi's computing power has increased, and Duke quickly issued an order: "Xiaoyi, hang up the "Universal Blood Refining Method"."

   "Okay, it has been set to process three for you, general blood refining method, 35% power consumption when on-hook..."

   "Chi Chi!"

  Xiaoyi hangs up the "Universal Blood Refining Method", Xiaodou passively follows, absorbs the spirituality in the bodies of both parties on the roof of the warehouse under the night, and runs and strengthens Duke's fighting spirit.

  Duke himself held a sand eagle and aimed at the tallest tower in the center of the town - the Snake Head Tower.

   At the top of the tower, there is a bright light.

  The distance from the warehouse to the Snake Head Tower is about 700 meters away. Duke wanted to see if he could use the Sand Eagle to shoot down the lamp.

  Aim at the front sight and lift it up slightly.

   Poof!

   One shot was fired, but the bright light did not respond.

  Duke continued to adjust the aiming position, and then pulled the trigger one after another, shooting wildly at the bright light.

  However, after shooting for two hours, until I was exhausted, the bright light was still bright.

   "Even if you are blind, you should be able to get a shot. If you miss a shot, it means... the range of this Sand Eagle is not 700 meters."

  Normal Desert Eagle pistols have an effective range of 100 to 200 meters, and a maximum range of 400 to 500 meters.

   Although the Sand Eagle in Duke's own hand is an arcane weapon rather than an ordinary firearm, it is mutated from ordinary firearms after all, retaining many of the properties of ordinary firearms, and the maximum range may also be retained, at most four to five hundred meters.

   "Actually, I am... a magic wand in the shape of a sand eagle?"

  Put away the wand...Put away the Sand Eagle pistol.

  The body has become empty due to the practice of fighting qi, Duke finished the practice, went back to the house with a small bag, and took out a few dried spirit beast meat to pad his stomach.

  The hot room makes it difficult to sleep.

  Duke took out the constant temperature card in the small box and decided to spend it extravagantly by directly activating the constant temperature card, and then using the spirit storage card in series to supply energy.

  In an instant, the thermostatic card emits a soft light.

  The second-ring spell model was activated, and the temperature in the room suddenly cooled down. The small pocket on the shoulder was unknown, so it quickly hid in Duke's pocket.

   "The front side cools, the back side heats up, the faster the supply of spiritual energy, the better the cooling and heating effect..."

  Duke quickly adjusted the cooling effect of the constant temperature card to about 20 degrees with the help of the restriction on the spiritual energy transmission of the Chu Ling card, which is just right for neither cold nor hot.

   This kind of civilian spirit card is operated by fools, which is convenient for ordinary people to use.

  Lying on the bed, Duke watched the number drop on the Chu Ling Card comfortably: "It's really expensive, but the speed is acceptable. It's just an extra twenty silver dragons a month."

   Duke, who is already a little worth, expressed no pressure.

   In a flash, August is almost over.

  Although the official announcement of the pioneering war has not yet come out, the changes in Sheshou Town have shown that the pioneering war will come soon.

  The construction of the Third Vertical Street is in full swing, the low houses are demolished, the land is leveled, and the separation wall is pulled up.

   Almost every day, the west side of the town is full of dust.

  The small Sam Shuka store located on Second Vertical Street has to clean the store every morning, noon and evening, otherwise the counters, tables, and yard will be covered with a layer of dust.

   "Drizzle Lane, where I live, has another mercenary group rented out. A few young people come in and out wearing leather armor all day long. My mother-in-law next door said they have bad eyesight..." Sally was a little worried when she went to work, "I'm really worried about leaving Sharapova and Shaff at home."

  She is a widow, and she takes care of the two children Sharapova and Shaf by herself.

  Aunt Abi is a warm-hearted person, upon hearing this, she immediately said: "Why don't you send Sharapova and Shaf to my house, and be with my two grandchildren."

   "Ah, won't this be too much trouble?"

   "Oh, it's okay, it's okay, just throw it in the yard to play, and you don't need to worry too much."

   "Then thank you, Miss Abby."

   While chatting, a few people dressed as mercenaries walked in together. When they saw Sally standing behind the counter, they immediately leaned on the counter and laughed: "The lady boss is standing at the counter, is the boss here?"

   "I'm not the boss, I'm just a part-time clerk. Are you here to repair the card?"

   "I'm not here to fix the card, I'm here to see you."

   "Hehe." Sally didn't answer.

  A mercenary dressed as the leader said with a foreign accent: "Stop talking, Valette, quickly take out the damaged arcane card and repair it, don't waste time."

   "Got it, Captain!" Valette gave up and continued to tease Sally.

  This team of mercenaries was covered in travel dust. They had obviously just returned from an adventure in the wild, and they took out eleven old and new arcane cards for repairs.

   After registering, the mercenaries left.

  Sally breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Aunt Abby: "These people are really annoying."

   "Sigh, the peaceful days are coming to an end. If I don't have money, I would like to move my family to Shenjiao City." Aunt Abby sighed.

  At this time, Dutlan, who was out to deliver goods, brought a message: "The Hibidi Ling Mining Company has settled in our Sheshou Town. I saw that they released a job recruitment announcement at the Sheshou Tower. The first batch of registered workers will be given priority to become regular miners in the future."

   "Hibideling Mining Company? Dutlan, do you want to be a miner?"

   "I won't go. Although the miners make a lot of money, they are so dangerous. I have done a good job in our card repair shop, so I won't work hard."

  Dutlan shook his head quickly.

  He will be able to become a regular after the internship period, with a monthly salary of 25 silver dragons, which can be regarded as a high-paying job in a small place like Sheshou Town.

   Safe and decent, not very tiring, how many people envy it.

  The clerks chatted with each other for a few words, and quickly forgot about the Hippidil Mining Company. For ordinary people, this is just a mining company.

  But Duke, who is taking an open class at the Falun Society, has a different perception.

   "Spirit mine companies are different from mining companies. Only minerals that produce high-energy spiritual crystals can be called spiritual mines... Cuihai Valley may not only have a medium-sized spiritual spring, but also an associated spiritual mine. For this associated spiritual mine, I am afraid there will be a fight."
