Chapter 425 Mining
Xia Yu looked at the watch in his hand again, but there was no movement. Today is the tenth day. Xia Yu vaguely felt something was wrong without receiving a prompt yesterday. Today, he looked at the watch and became more and more sure of his guess.
It seems that the game cabin is really going to close.
Although he was mentally prepared, it was still a bit unbelievable that it happened. After hesitating for a while, he decided to go to the scene just in case.
After saying goodbye to Katrana, Xia Yu drove straight to the game cabin.
At around ten o'clock, Xia Yu came to the door of the game hut. What surprised him was that the game hut was actually open.
Xia Yu got out of the car and walked in. It was still the same as usual. The guests came and went, and the half-tempered business. The waiter who was playing with his mobile phone greeted him warmly.
Xia Yu went up the second floor and came to the place where he used to stay. He found that someone had arrived from a distance, and several people were discussing fiercely.
Bai Ye: "Didn't you receive a prompt to start the game? It's so strange, why isn't this watch moving?"
Xuanniao: "A few days ago, I heard from the traveler that the main house turned off the game for a while."
Prodigal son: "Really and false? It's impossible. Why did you suddenly stop the game for no reason?"
Fujisui: "Oh, the traveler is here, hurry up, what's going on?"
Xia Yu sat down helplessly and said the words of Tian Wang Li to the end.
The young master looked suspicious: "You must have done something to the owner, right? Otherwise, why would the owner suddenly turn off the game?"
Xia Yu spread his hands, "You look down on me too highly. What can I do to the homeowner?"
"Then what are you doing with the homeowner?"
"It's just a little private matter."
After chatting for a while, others rushed over one after another. A large group of people gathered around two tables and discussed suspiciously.
I got used to the watch prompts to start the game. Suddenly, everyone was a little uncomfortable.
Xia Yu comforted, "Don't worry, it's not until twelve o'clock yet, maybe it will open then. At that time, the owner said that he would close the game hut for a while, and then directly closed the roller shutter doors. Now that the game hut is still open normally, maybe it will open at noon."
He said this, but Xia Yu had no idea at all. He had a premonition that closing the door this time would probably not be that simple.
Everyone discussed for a while, but there was no result. They could only wait patiently and talked about Chuxue's hell card. Seeing Chuxue not dead, Bai Yelangzi and others congratulated each other.
Fuyuki looked depressed, and he didn't know why.
Finally, it was eleven o'clock, and at this time, the door of the game room had already opened. However, everyone went up to the third floor to check, but the bronze door did not move at all, and there was no intention of opening it.
Everyone simply stopped going downstairs and just waited at the door. They waited until twelve o'clock, but the door still had no intention of opening.
The black cat was the first to lament: "It's over, it seems that I can't play this game today."
The Overlord was even more depressed than her, "Damn it, I still have fifty raw stones but haven't smoked them. The owner will not run away."
The leader said: "It shouldn't be that. I think the owner may have just left if something happens, and maybe it will open the next time."
Everyone looked at each other helplessly, and they could only think so at the moment.
Someone left one after another, and Xia Yu waited for more than an hour until he was sure that there was no game to play today. Then he said goodbye to the other people who stayed and turned around and left.
On the way home, Xia Yu couldn't tell whether it was joy or sorrow. To be honest, he had been preparing to quit the game before, but this time he didn't play the game, but instead he felt that something was missing.
Of course, on the other hand, I was relieved. If I really played, I wouldn’t know where to fight. Although there were not so many exciting things in reality, it was at least peaceful and stable.
"Let's buy a house." Xia Yu said to Katrana when he got home.
It’s not a big deal to keep renting a house, and now that you have money, it’s time to set up a nest for yourself.
The key is that the bar is now smashed and the game is not to be played, so I just have time to choose a house.
They did it as soon as they said they could do it. After lunch, the two of them looked around the city in the afternoon.
Xia Yu was planning to buy a bigger house, preferably a luxury villa. At least he had been playing the game for so long, so he couldn't treat himself badly, so he wouldn't move on after buying it.
Although he wanted to withdraw from the game, Xia Yu still maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards the game, so he did not intend to leave the Magic City.
But the result of wandering around the city made him very upset. The housing prices in the Magic City are worthy of being among the top in the country. The more than 10 million he earned before was not enough.
It’s not that I can’t afford it. It’s easy to buy an ordinary apartment, but it’s a bit difficult to buy a luxury house.
Of course, it also depends on the location, but in general, the spending of more than one thousand is not as relaxed as Xia Yu imagined.
Besides, he doesn't want to spend it all, he has to leave some for his future life.
"Or buy something cheaper?" Katrana said.
"No, if you want to buy it, buy a big house." Xia Yu was very determined. "Don't worry, I've already thought of a way to make money."
In fact, it is really not difficult to make money. Just selling a few of his collections is enough.
However, Xia Yu did not plan to do this. He has a long life. To enjoy life, it is not enough to have less money, and he must make enough money.
Fortunately, he had a plan long ago and had been unable to make up his mind before, but this time, he finally made up his mind that this plan was mining.
Of course, it is not digging on the earth, but running to outer space to dig. How can you do it if you have a Phoenix fighter jet that you don’t use.
Three days later, the asteroid belt—
The Phoenix Fighter slowly flew through the empty space and gradually approached the target this time.
"Master, you are about to arrive in the asteroid belt, please be prepared."
Xia Yu glanced at the screen and was stunned. Is this the asteroid belt?
The asteroid belt that Xia Yu imagined was countless huge stones floating in space, colliding with each other densely. It was impossible to say that it was still showing off its driving skills and struggling to dodge between meteorite planets. However, when he saw it with his own eyes, he found that he was really thinking too much.
The asteroid belt is very sparse, and the distance between the two asteroids is often very far away, and it is even difficult to see with the naked eye. The dense scenes of space collision can only be seen in movies.
But this is a waste of time. At least you don’t have to worry about being hit by a meteorite suddenly during mining.
With the help of AI, Xia Yu quickly flew to the position of the target asteroid.
The name of this asteroid is Psyche 16. Its main components are iron, nickel and some rare metals, such as gold, platinum and copper. It can be said to be priceless. Of course, these are the relevant information that Xia Yu searched online. At this moment, he truly saw the true appearance of this planet with his own eyes.
It is called an asteroid, but it is actually not small, with a diameter of about 200 kilometers and is covered with large and small meteorite craters, with bumpy pits and irregular shapes like a deformed potato.
Under the sunlight, the surface of this asteroid appears a dull gray and yellow. The gray part seems to be the original color of iron and nickel, while the yellow part reflects a strange luster under the sunlight.
Xia Yu felt excited. Is it gold? It should be gold? He drove a spaceship slowly over the asteroid, and he felt excited. How much gold does this cost!
"Master, the scanning system of the Phoenix fighter can help you analyze the specific composition of the current target."
"Thank you for the reminder." Xia Yu said, and immediately activated the spacecraft's scanner. His plan was space mining. The resources in space were extremely rich. The key was that no one was in charge of it and could dig it casually. Of course, the Phoenix fighter was not a professional mining ship, so it was impossible to mine on a large scale. Xia Yu did not need to mine on a large scale. He was not engaged in interstellar colonization, just dig up some of the things he used.
Soon the material composition of the asteroid appeared on the screen. The proportion of gold in the entire asteroid was not much, only about 5%. However, considering the size of the entire asteroid, it is still extremely amazing.
Xia Yu aimed the ion cannon at a raised mountain peak of the asteroid, which was the area with the most dense distribution of gold, and then directly pulled the trigger.
Two strings of ion shells shot out. Since it was outer space, there was no explosion. Xia Yu saw the ion cannons shot into the surface of the planet, causing planetary fragments to spread all over the sky, flying around the asteroid, and gradually pulled back by the gravity of the asteroid, becoming a mini satellite orbiting the asteroid.
Xia Yu turned on the scanner and quickly locked one of the two-meter-diameter fragments.
The gravitational beam was activated, and a traction beam shot out from the abdomen of the Phoenix Fighter, slowly sucking the fast golden rock into the inside of the spacecraft.
This piece of fragment is not big, only a few cubic meters, but hesitation is almost made of pure gold, so it is still very heavy, with a total of more than 60 tons.
After purification, at least fifty tons of gold can be extracted. Xia Yu looked at the large golden belt on the asteroid with some regret. Unfortunately, the Phoenix fighter was too small and could not dig too much. But it was fine, so it was a long flow of water. If you were short of money in the future, just dig some gold.
He returned home with a full load of phoenix fighter. The whole process of mining gold was very smooth, but the process of selling gold was a bit troublesome. After all, more than fifty tons of gold were needed to be smelted and purified before taking action. Fortunately, he could ask those people in the player group for help, and Xia Yu did not dare to sell them all at once.
He simply estimated that one ton of gold was more than 300 million, and more than 50 tons of gold, worth 10 or 20 billion. He really didn't dare to sell it openly, otherwise something would definitely happen. This time, no homeowner would provide a guarantee.
So he only rushes one ton for the first time, and it’s enough to spend it.
A week later, Xia Yu finally got his own income and paid more than 300 million yuan to find someone to help him. Xia Yu finally bought his favorite mansion and moved in with Katrana.
Happy times are always short, and in the blink of an eye, it’s time for the game again.
This time, I still didn't receive a prompt to start the game, but Xia Yu still came to the game cabin again.
Others also arrived one after another, and everyone gathered listlessly to discuss the game, and whether the homeowner really ran away.
Then we had lunch together. During the meal, the overlord complained repeatedly: "Oh, I still have fifty raw stones but haven't smoked them."
After lunch, everyone dispersed.
In the next period of time, Xia Yu enjoyed the life of a rich mansion. His rich life was comfortable. He lived in a luxury house, drove a luxury car, ate delicacies, and had beautiful women around him. However, without the excitement of the game, he was still a little disappointed.
Although he was ready to retire, everything was still undecided before returning the watch, so Xia Yu would go to the game cabin every ten days to gather with everyone, and by the way, see if Wang Li was back.
During the third party, the Overlord complained again as usual, "Oh, I still have fifty raw stones to smoke."
During the fourth party, the Overlord still complained: "Oh, I still have fifty raw stones but haven't smoked them."
Chapter completed!
