Mechanical Flesh

Qi Yuan successfully proved his worth and won a new opportunity for himself. Before Tan Qiu left, he had a long talk with Qi Yuan. Except for the two, no one knew what they talked about. Neither Su Li nor Su Li knew the content of the conversation.

After Tan Qiu left with Su Li, Qi Yuan also felt the urgency of time more and more. Although he got Tan Qiu's promise, the world is always full of surprises. If he wants to deal with a fourth-level researcher, no matter how cautious he is Not too much.

The long conversation with Tan Qiu allowed Qi Yuan to learn some inside stories about the shelter, and at the same time resolved some misunderstandings, so that the follow-up cooperation had a basis of trust.

But for Qi Yuan, putting all his hopes on others is definitely not a wise choice.

Although Tan Qiu's reputation is good, and she is willing to help herself, but if she completely relies on her help, she will only get herself into a quagmire.

Tan Qiu has always believed in equal value exchange, and every time she helps, she has clearly marked the price in secret.

Therefore, no matter how many promises Tan Qiu made, he must have his own cards, so that he can truly gain a foothold in the shelter.

Qi Yuan quickly made a plan of action.

In the remaining time, in addition to getting Seraphim back to Tier 4, several check-in points in the wilderness also need to complete the check-in. If he can successfully step into Tier 3, he can definitely give Feng Qian a huge blow. surprise.

Early the next morning, Qi Yuan had just left Master Qu's laboratory and was still hesitating how to get more energy cores when an unexpected visitor came to his door.

It was a thin old man, he was wearing a black eyepatch, and the other eye that was exposed was not a perfect eye, but a mechanical artificial eye.

Although it was the first time they met, Qi Yuan recognized his identity immediately after seeing such obvious features on the visitor.

A person in charge of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, nicknamed "Blind"!

"Mr. Qi Yuan, the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce would like to negotiate a deal with you, do you have time?" The blind man said in a respectful tone.

Qi Yuan glanced at him. Both the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Futu Chamber of Commerce have been operating in Steel Chariot for a long time. They often cooperate with the Hunters Guild to issue reward tasks, but sometimes, they will also contact certain hunters in private to conduct Those tasks that are not suitable for public release.

those who are qualified to work with them,

Most of them are the third-tier ones with relatively strong strength, and even the Spike Hunting Team has the experience of being hired by the chamber of commerce.

In Iron Chariot, this kind of thing is not uncommon, but the other party suddenly came to the door at this time point, which made Qi Yuan feel a little suspicious, and he suddenly remembered the reminder from Arc Light to himself.

However, since the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce approached the door, Qi Yuan would not refuse, after all, the other party also had something he wanted.

If the other party is really a remnant of the Xu family and wants to deceive himself, he must give enough bait.

As for whether it was the bait for me to prostitute the other party for free, or the other party successfully killed me, it depends on whose method is more ruthless.

"I happen to have time." Qi Yuan said with a smile.

"Follow me!" The blind man made a gesture of invitation.

Qi Yuan followed the blind man, and soon arrived at the residence of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce. In the living room, he met Ye Xiao, the person in charge of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce in the steel chariot.

As a chamber of commerce capable of smuggling materials from the Blacksteel Shelter, the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce is not weak, but their resident is not well built.

However, Qi Yuan knew that this was just an appearance. The real space of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce was underground. Through area detection, Qi Yuan found that there was a huge space under the living room, which was filled with various materials, but he did not find what he had. energy core required.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ye Xiao directly stated his intentions.

"We found a silicon-rich vein in the Red Copper Valley, but the insects and beasts entrenched in it are a bit difficult to deal with. In addition to a group of highly poisonous red-backed poisonous ants, there are two six-legged spirit-eating beasts inside."

"Because of the special topography of the underground mine, and the habit of the red-backed poison-kiss ant to spew poisonous mist, the poisonous mist accumulates deep in the mine, and it is difficult for even a third-level ability user to survive inside, so I hope you It can help us clean up the red-backed poisonous ants inside."

Qi Yuan smiled. The battle between himself and Venom had already let many people know that he had the ability to fight against the poison. If Ye Xiao hadn't lied, then only he could complete the task he said.

If there was no reminder from the arc light, I might not have noticed the abnormality.

But now, the emergence of this mission made Qi Yuan feel a hint of conspiracy.

The previous main business of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, except for exotic metals, was rarely related to ore veins, and the appearance of this ore vein was obviously a bit abrupt.

Moreover, this task is too suitable for me, as if it is tailor-made for me.

Qi Yuan didn't talk bluntly, but said with great interest:

"The poisonous fog in the mine can't threaten me, and I can help you get rid of the red-backed poisonous ants inside, but what reward can you offer?"

Since it is a trap, how can there be no bait!

Ye Xiao smiled heartily, and said, "As long as we can solve the problems in the mine, we don't hesitate to raise the reward, whether it's mechanical weapons or ability potions, we can find a way!"

The Black Gold Chamber of Commerce has a relationship with the Sanctuary, that's why he dared to speak like this. If it was someone else, he might have been moved by Ye Xiao's conditions, but it's a pity that he met Qi Yuan.

"I want an energy core, two thousand first-order energy cores!" Qi Yuan opened his mouth.

Ye Xiao's face froze immediately. If this clearing task is calculated according to the difficulty of the Hunter's Guild, the task reward rating should be C+. Although the reward amount is higher than the ordinary C+, it will not exceed 300,000.

When inviting Qi Yuan, he had already planned to pay a high price, but he never expected that Qi Yuan would confidently say two thousand first-order energy cores.

Even if it is based on the lowest price in the wilderness, this is worth a total of 40 million goods, and Qi Yuan opened his mouth to pay a premium of 130 times!

"Mr. Qi Yuan was joking, this number is too big, it's beyond what we can bear." Ye Xiao said reluctantly with a smile.

The smile on Qi Yuan's face became brighter, you are all digging a hole to bury me, I will not open my mouth to let you bleed some blood!

"The value of a silicon-rich ore is more than two thousand first-order energy cores, and your Black Gold Chamber of Commerce has a big business, so it's not short of such a little money!"

An energy core worth a total of 40 million is such a small amount of money in front of your eyes?

That is a huge sum of money that you, a wanderer in the wilderness, will never be able to earn in your lifetime!

Ye Xiao took a deep breath, resisted the urge to punch Qi Yuan's face, and said:

"The price is indeed too high. If you need energy cores, I can take out a hundred first-order energy cores as a reward for this employment!"

One hundred first-order energy cores are worth as much as two million yuan, which is completely beyond the price of a C+ level task. Even for the third-level team task, it is rare to get two million remuneration.

According to the market price, Ye Xiao's offer was already very sincere, but Qi Yuan shrugged.

"For the sake of your sincerity, I can offer you a discount of 1,000 yuan for a first-order energy core. This is my bottom line. If you can't get it out, you can only hire someone else!"

After Qi Yuan finished speaking, Ye Xiao looked distressed, and changed from two thousand first-level energy cores to one thousand first-level energy cores. Although the price was doubled, it was still a sky-high price.

"I don't know why Mr. Qi Yuan needs so many first-order energy cores? If there is any problem, maybe we can find a solution together!" Ye Xiao said.

"Recently, Master Qu and I are designing mechanical weapons, so the energy core consumption is a bit high!" Qi Yuan said with a smile.

Design mechanical weapons? Just you and Qu Shanhai?

You two wild researchers, if you can design a semi-mechanical armament, you are already invincible. You can use your heads to design a complete mechanical armament!

Can you take a snack for the excuse you made!

Ye Xiao complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to show the slightest bit on his face, so he could only say with a smile:

"Mr. Qi Yuan, I am looking for you to cooperate this time with absolute sincerity. Only you are the most suitable for this task, and for you, there should be no great danger."

"If you are not satisfied with the conditions we offered, we can talk again, but a thousand energy cores is indeed too much, and our warehouse reserves do not have so many energy cores!"

Qi Yuan pretended to frown and said:

"How many first-order energy cores can you take out at most?"

As soon as Ye Xiao heard that there was something going on, he was about to continue raising the price, but Qi Yuan interrupted him impatiently.

"I'm preparing for the assessment to enter the shelter. I don't have much time to waste here. You still have a chance to bid. If you can meet my request, I will help you once. If you can't, don't waste my time! "

You are a second-tier, prepare for a shitty shelter assessment!

The interrupted Ye Xiao let out an angry roar in his heart.

But seeing Qi Yuan's obviously impatient expression, Ye Xiao still didn't dare to express his inner anger after all.

With Qi Yuan's current strength and status, he already has the willful capital and the right to bargain with himself, because Qi Yuan will never be short of money, and if the conditions do not meet his requirements, he will really refuse decisively.

Ye Xiao's thoughts changed sharply.

As a chamber of commerce backed by a shelter, although there are a lot of energy cores of 1,000 yuan, it is not impossible to get them out. In the warehouse of the chamber of commerce, Qi Yuan can now take out the amount that Qi Yuan wants, but he cannot do so.

Not because he was reluctant to part with the money, but because doing so made Qi Yuan suspicious.

In order to be able to convince Qi Yuan, the Chamber of Commerce has already sent people to collect Qi Yuan's information. Qi Yuan is obviously not the kind of idiot who is easy to get on top of. He is definitely more vigilant about danger perception than others, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to get out of the old city.

Once he accepted the reward of a thousand first-order energy cores, with Qi Yuan's vigilance, he would definitely doubt his motives.

It is impossible for a normal person to agree to such an obviously unreasonable price, except for conspiracy!

After a short thought, Ye Xiao quickly responded.

"Mr. Qi Yuan, we still have five hundred first-order energy cores in our warehouse. I can take them all out as a reward for this employment, but I also have a request. I want the two-headed six-legged spirit-eating beasts, and Live."

The six-legged spirit devouring beast not only has the strength of the peak of the third-order, but also is far more difficult to deal with than the ordinary third-order because of the characteristic of male and female moving together.

But just as I thought, the living body of the six-legged spirit devouring beast was also very valuable. The price of each living body was around one million, which was a little higher than that of ordinary third-order peak insect beasts.

Ye Xiao was ready to continue bargaining with Qi Yuan, such as not necessarily having to capture him alive, such as a smaller number of energy cores and other conditions.

"Deal!" Qi Yuan said.

make a deal?

Ye Xiao was obviously taken aback for a moment, but Qi Yuan's sudden answer made him lose his mood for an instant.

You just said that 1,000 energy cores are the bottom line, so that's 500 yuan?

I can prostitute five hundred first-order energy cores for nothing, why don't I make a deal? Qi Yuan said silently in his heart.

Through Ye Xiao's reaction, Qi Yuan can already confirm that the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce is digging a hole for him, but in order to avoid Ye Xiao's suspicion, Qi Yuan continued:

"The six-legged spirit devouring beast is too powerful, I can't promise to capture it alive! And I need to get the energy core first!"

Now that he is ready to go whoring for nothing, Qi Yuan will naturally not give Ye Xiao a chance to repent. As long as he gets these energy cores, he has already won half of the game.

Ye Xiao, who was about to respond with one mouthful, suddenly fell silent when he heard Qi Yuan's last request.

Of course he didn't care about the life and death of the six-legged spirit devouring beast. The real problem was the latter condition.

Compared with Qi Yuan's initial conditions, although this figure has already been discounted by 2.5%, five hundred first-order energy cores are still a lot of expenses. If Qi Yuan can be allowed to do things first and pay later, as long as Qi Yuan is dead , this expense is naturally saved.

But if the payment is made first, it is very likely that these energy cores cannot be recovered, otherwise everyone will link Qi Yuan's death with the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce.

After pondering for a while, Ye Xiao tentatively said:

"Mr. Qi Yuan, according to the rules of employment, we always do things first and then pay. Can we pay a part of the deposit first..."

"Don't tell me those messy rules, my rules have always been to get money first and then do things!"

With a cold face, Qi Yuan interrupted Ye Xiao unceremoniously.

"If it weren't for the sake of these energy cores, I wouldn't cooperate with you at all. If you want to continue to cooperate with me, then follow my rules!"

Ye Xiao's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly adjusted, and he just cursed in his heart: When you die in the Red Copper Valley, these energy cores don't know who is cheaper!

After weighing the pros and cons briefly, Ye Xiao had accepted Qi Yuan's conditions in his heart, but he still kept a wry smile on his face.

"Mr. Qi Yuan, your conditions are too harsh."

Seeing that Qi Yuan snorted coldly and was about to walk away, Ye Xiao hurriedly called to stop Qi Yuan.

"I agree to this condition!"

Only then did Qi Yuan stop, his face paled.

"Don't worry, I, Qi Yuan, always keep my word. Whenever I get the energy core, I will set off at that time."

"If we can cooperate happily this time, we can continue to cooperate next time!"

next time?

There is no next time for you!

Ye Xiao cursed in his heart, but there was a smile on his face.

"The energy core, I can prepare it now. If possible, I hope to see the mine cleared tomorrow."

"No problem!" Qi Yuan said with a smile.

Although the number of energy cores obtained from the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce cannot compare with the energy cores obtained from Arc Light, the sense of accomplishment it brings far exceeds the latter.

Because the energy core of Arc Light is loans, and the energy core of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce is prostitutes!
