Yang Xiao and Gustone played a ga, and he gave him no chance, killing him directly.
Gustone wiped the sweat from his forehead,
"Master Yang, let's play another ga."
"Okay!"
Half an hour later, Gustone was killed by Yang Xiao again.
"Master Yang, let's play another ga."
"Okay."
Half an hour later, Gustone was killed by Yang Xiao again.
Gustone's clothes were soaked with sweat.
He stood up, and bowed to Yang Xiao:
"Master Yang's chess skills are extraordinary, far superior to mine. I admire that!"
Yang Xiao smiled and said:
"Every occupation has its own expertise. I co from Earth, and since the age of five, I have undergone professional Go training. It's normal for to know a little more than you, Mr. Gustone."
Gustone was startled for a mont and said:
"How co I heard from Jino City Lord that the last ti he played chess with you, it resulted in a draw and a loss? Logically speaking, Jino City Lord's chess skills are almost similar to mine."
"Hehe, during our first eting in front of several friends of Jino City Lord, it wasn't nice to embarrass him by letting him lose."
"Oh? So you aren't worried about embarrassing today? You directly defeated in three gas!"
"You and I are already friends, and among friends, we should be honest with each other, haha!"
"Haha... Master Yang, I think there is still another way for you."
"?"
"You can try to approach Jino City Lord, perhaps, from him, you might find a feasible path."
"What do you an by that?"
"The Primitive Forest Wilderness Protection Zone where you are currently located is not under the jurisdiction of the Great Dragon Empire, but is an independent region.
If you can, in so way, affiliate with the Great Dragon Empire, enable the tribal people and Jino City Lord to reach an agreent, and let the Great Dragon Empire respect the tribal jurisdiction, but you can sell the developed Crystal Stones to the Great Dragon Empire, it could be mutually beneficial.
You would monopolize the developnt of Crystal Stones, the tribal people could continue to prosper, and the Great Dragon Empire would also get the Crystal Stones, wouldn't this be perfect?
Essentially, the Great Dragon Empire needs the Crystal Stones, without which nobody would bother with that area,
as long as Jino City Lord and your people reach an agreent, the regular army of the Great Dragon Empire wouldn't attack you, and the rest who are private mine owners crushing the tribal people is almost impossible."
Given Gustone's grasp of the overall situation, his words naturally hit the mark.
Yang Xiao listened, nodded, and said:
"Mr. Gustone, your suggestion is very useful, but could Jino City Lord agree to this?"
"Hehe, to forge iron, one must be strong themselves. It all depends on your own strength,
If you can withstand several attacks from private tribes initially, hurt them enough to force them to call for a great army, that would be your opportunity to negotiate,
Currently, the Great Dragon Empire is engaged with the Snow Leopard Empire on Witch Star, with large troop commitnts; they wouldn't want to lose too many soldiers just to attack a tribal area,
especially since that tribal area of yours has a Quasi-Emperor Level terrifying Evolver holding the fort, it won't be so easily conquered."
Yang Xiao imdiately had an idea in his heart, and he bowed to Gustone:
"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Gustone."
"Haha, it's nothing, I just ntioned it casually."
Yang Xiao took his leave, and walked out of the Genetic Store Headquarters with Qin Lu.
Qin Lu waited for several hours, fortunately, Gu Si treated him well on account of Yang Xiao, keeping him company with chat and tea, and they even ended up playing Go out of boredom.
Seeing Yang Xiao coming down from the second floor, Qin Lu heaved a sigh of relief.
Gu Si escorted them to the door.
Qin Lu said:
"Yang Xiao, the Green Cloud Sword we ordered from the Blacksmith Shop last ti should be ready, let's go pick it up."
Yang Xiao was startled, the matter had been two or three months ago, and he had almost forgotten it.
The two arrived at the Blacksmith Shop, and Qin Lu took out his Identity Jade.
The receptionist said "please wait a mont," turned, and entered a room at the back, returning shortly after with a red wooden Sword Box placed on the table in front of Qin Lu.
"Master Qin, your sword has arrived."
Qin Lu nodded at Yang Xiao,
"Open it yourself and have a look."
Yang Xiao, without being polite, opened the Sword Box, inside lay a one-ter-long Longsword with an ancient bronze scabbard.
Picking up the Longsword, it was heavier than ordinary Weapons but not as heavy as the Bronze Divine Sword.
Yang Xiao held the scabbard with one hand and unsheathed the Longsword with the other.
A white stream of light flashed, exuding a daunting Killing Aura.
"Indeed, a good sword."
As Yang Xiao spoke, he drew the Longsword with a "whoosh", casually waving it in the air in front of him. Waves of Killing Aura spread out,
but it lacked the shocking sensation of splitting the void like the Bronze Divine Sword.
Compared to regular Longswords that increase the Strength Attribute, this sword had considerably higher attack damage.
Yang Xiao sheathed the sword, and asked casually:
"Qin Lu, the other day I saw the War God fighting a Demon Beast, wielding a blood-red Longsword. What tier was that sword?"
Qin Lu and the service lady at the Blacksmith Shop chuckled at his question.
"Yang Xiao, the Blood Sword in the hands of the War God is a well-known Divine Weapon, our swords can't compare to it."
"Divine Weapon? What does that an?"
Yang Xiao pretended to be confused, though he had already learned so knowledge about Divine Weapons from the King of the Wilderness.
"A Divine Weapon can only be forged by a Great Grandmaster at the Blacksmith Shop, using special materials and mystical Rune Magic, and even then the success rate is very low. Not everyone can possess a Divine Weapon, so don't even think about it."
"Can a Blacksmith Shop take custom orders for one?"
"That's not possible, even among the princes of the Great Dragon Empire today, not everyone has a Divine Weapon; they rely wield Three-star or Four-star Magic Killing Longswords."
Yang Xiao was stunned, guessing that the Bronze Divine Sword he had picked up last ti was a Two-star Divine Weapon custom-ordered by that prince from the Witch Star to Earth, not expecting the Spaceship to crash in the desert, where he found it.
The two left the Blacksmith Shop, rested overnight in Karachi City, and returned to the base the next morning.
Two days later, the drilling team called by Qin Lu also arrived at the base, connecting twenty underground Crystal Ore Veins.
Yang Xiao's base now had over eighty mines ready for full-scale mining.
David's ore transport machine ordered from the Witch Star also arrived at the mining site, and after installation and calibration, this conveyor belt can transport the ore waste from the mine to a hundred ters away, significantly simplifying the labor of transporting the waste, saving manpower, and improving the efficiency of mining.
During this period, nurous unfamiliar Spaceships arrived circling over Yang Xiao's mining site, then flew off into the distance.
These Spaceships belonged to private mine owners coming to survey the situation.
With large Crystal Ore Veins being found in this Primitive Forest, news had already spread across Karachi City, attracting more and more people wanting to invest in mining here.
Yang Xiao watched the departing Spaceships in the sky and muttered to himself:
"It's getting busier and busier!"
