Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 378 I was bored, so I dug deeper! ? (5.4k, supplemented on 5.17th)
At 11 p.m. on November 15, Bai Zhen, under the command of the ground center, rode Rayquaza through the atmosphere and prepared to land on the ground.

In order to reduce the friction of the atmosphere, Bai Zhen asked Taile Bagos to be at the front and condense a crystal shield for defense.

Everything went very smoothly.

When Bai Zhen arrived at the center of the universe in Green Ridge City.

Looking down from the sky, the building at the center of the universe was crowded with people, and it seemed that Junsha was maintaining order at the scene.

Bai Zhen glanced at the people below, and then he saw Daigo waiting for him at the back of the building.

Daigo waved to Bai Zhen in the sky, and Bai Zhen immediately ordered Rayquaza to land.

After landing steadily on the ground, Bai Zhen took out the ball and put Rayquaza back into the ball first: "Thank you for your hard work. You should have a good rest first."

This time in the universe, Rayquaza had almost no time to rest and was the hardest working one.

Bai Zhen also decided to make a delicious meal for Rayquaza as a reward for this hero.

Daigo stepped forward and said to Bai Zhen: "The meteorite crisis is really thanks to you. If it weren't for you, we might not have had it so easy. The interdimensional portal project is more difficult than we expected."

Bai Zhen comforted him, "In the face of this world-destroying crisis, human power is also very limited. I was able to resolve it only with the help of Super Rayquaza, Tailebagos, and Arceus."

While the two were still talking, a noisy sound suddenly came from the distance.

They turned around and saw a group of reporters breaking through Junsha's blockade and coming directly to the back of the building.

Daigo saw these people holding their heads in pain.

He initially did not want to announce the meteorite clues so quickly, for he was afraid of being surrounded by reporters for interviews.

But later, after Bai Zhen lost contact on the moon for more than 30 hours, he was worried that the plan would fail, so he had to activate the plan of the inter-dimensional portal, announcing the existence of the meteorite while recruiting volunteers.

These reporters rushed to Bai Zhen and Daigo, countless cameras were aimed at Bai Zhen, and microphones were handed to him in a swarm.

A beautiful female reporter asked Bai Zhen: "Mr. Qianzhou, I am a reporter from Fengyuan TV. Can you please answer the question about the huge meteorite crisis?"

"I'm a reporter from the Letterbird News. Is your trip to space related to the super-giant meteorite? What's the current situation?"

Countless questions were thrown at Bai Zhen.

Bai Zhen raised his hands and pressed them down, signaling these people not to be anxious.

After they all quieted down, Bai Zhen said, "I was indeed commissioned to go to space to smash the super-giant meteorite. Now the meteorite crisis has been resolved, please rest assured."

Bang bang bang~
When Bai Zhen said this, the video camera and the camera worked at the same time and many photos were taken.

Then these reporters asked Bai Zhen questions one after another.

Bai Zhen patiently answered some of the questions he could answer, and for some that he didn't know the answers to, he honestly said he didn't know the truth.

But soon, Bai Zhen encountered a thorny problem. The reporter who asked him the question at first asked Bai Zhen: "Mr. Qianzhou, we received news that someone deliberately revived the ancient Pokémon Groudon and Kyogre in order to lure out Rayquaza. Is this true?"

When the reporter asked this question, Bai Zhen happened to see Xi Jiana in the corner out of the corner of his eye.

Bai Zhen replied to the reporter: "The situation is not true. The two organizations that want to awaken Groudon and Kyogre are Team Magma and Team Aqua. This has been their long-cherished wish. Now their mastermind is buried at the bottom of the sea. The remaining members will be judged by the police and the alliance."

By the time Bai Zhen finished answering the question and looked at Xi Jiana again, she had disappeared.

The reporter asked again: "Then what do you think of the Lava Team and the Ocean Team?"

"Any organization that wants to destroy world peace is my enemy. If the police and the alliance need my help to fight these criminals, I will help without hesitation."

I was hounded by these reporters for half an hour, and their questions became more and more tricky.

He now has to think for three or four seconds before answering many questions.

Daigo beside him couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked in front of Bai Zhen, blocked the reporters and said, "Qian Zhou has been in the extreme environment of the universe for a long time. Please give him some time to rest. We will hold a press conference later and answer your questions in detail at that time."

After saying that, Daigo escorted Bai Zhen directly into the center building of the universe.

As soon as he entered the gate, Bai Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Daigo, "Thank you, the questions these reporters asked are really tricky."

"These are professional journalists. Every question was carefully designed before they came. You don't deal with them often, so it's normal that some of them are difficult to answer for a while." Daigo used his ID card to take Bai Zhen into the building. He said, "Dr. Solans and others have been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go over quickly."

Bai Zhen originally thought that Daigo would take him to the command center, but unexpectedly, Daigo took him to the conference hall in the center of the universe.

Bai Zhen just pushed open the door.

Bang~
The people in the room opened the fireworks.

The colorful fireworks slowly fell from the sky.

"Welcome back the heroes of Hoenn!!"

Bai Zhen looked into the auditorium. Almost all the experts were there, and the entire auditorium was decorated as a celebration banquet.

The members of the attacking team were also among them.

Solance invited Bai Zhen, the protagonist, to come on stage and say a few words to everyone. Bai Zhen didn't waste any words. After a few simple words, the celebration banquet officially began.

When Bai Zhen walked down from the podium, many people came over to greet him and express their admiration for him.

Bai Zhen dealt with them one by one.

The whole process is still very tiring, once you have dealt with it all.

Bai Zhen took a glass of water and went to the corner of the venue to rest for a while.

It was at this time that Daigo and Solans came to find him.

Solance: "Congratulations on your safe return. How do you feel in the universe?"

Bai Zhen: "It's amazing, and it makes me long for the boundless world even more."

Solance was in a good mood when he saw Bai Zhen was interested in aerospace.

If Bai Zhen, the ultimate creature, was interested in aerospace, and as long as he could devote some time to it, the world's aerospace industry would make great strides forward.

Daigo also thanked him, "Thanks to you, our company and the alliance have saved a lot of money. I will transfer the 5 million I promised you to your account during this period."

Speaking of money, Bai Zhen became excited. He had something to discuss with Daigo and Solance.

"By the way, can you help me take a look at this and see if you want to buy it."

Bai Zhen grabbed Xie Mi who was eating and held him in his arms. Xie Mi was holding an apple and biting it in dissatisfaction.

"I'm still eating!" Xie Mi and Bai Zhen protested.

Bai Zhen ignored her and reached out to take out a sealed crystal from her small spiritual world.

Bai Zhen handed the crystal to the two of them.

Solance pushed his glasses up curiously and muttered, "What is this? Is it a meteorite?"

It is normal for Bai Zhen to bring back a few meteorites during his trip to space this time.

He had also planned to ask Bai Zhen if he had any gains to sell.

"Can I pick it up and take a look?" Solans asked Bai Zhen for his opinion.

After getting consent, Solance picked up the crystal.

He examined it carefully. The gem was about the size of a palm. From the perspective of the gem, the inner core of the crystal looked very dirty, with a handful of gray gravel and sand inside.

If it were sold as a gem, its value would be extremely low!
Moreover, a number 5 was artificially engraved on the surface of this gem.

Unable to tell the difference, Solance had no choice but to ask Bai Zhen: "Mr. Qianzhou, what on earth is this?"

Bai Zhen replied: "These are lunar rock and lunar soil samples from 5000 meters underground on the far side of the moon."

"Oh~ So it's lunar soil!? Wait! How deep is this lunar rock sample?"

Solance thought he had heard it wrong and stared at Bai Zhen with wide eyes.

"Five kilometers underground, the number five on it is the 5km mark." Bai Zhen took out a bunch of crystals from the small spiritual world, each with a number on it. Bai Zhen handed them to Solance one by one, "This one is 8000 meters underground, this one is 12 kilometers underground, and this one is 20 kilometers underground, and this one is 30 kilometers underground. This one is a little deeper, reaching the moon's mantle, with a depth of 90 kilometers."

"Ah——!!!" Solance, holding the crystal in his arms, suddenly screamed loudly.

In an instant, everyone in the venue who was confused looked over here.

Solans' hands were shaking as he held the crystal in his arms, for fear that he would accidentally drop the crystal and break it.

Solans asked Bai Zhen with a trembling voice: "Where did you get these from?"

"Where did it come from? Of course I dug it myself. Didn't I disappear for more than 30 hours? I was just bored at that time, so I dug into the core of the moon."

I was bored, so I dug deeper! ! ? ? ?

Solans' glasses almost slipped off because he was so shocked.

Solance swallowed his saliva. After just a moment, he felt a little dry in the mouth.

He asked cautiously: "Can I, can I ask, how deep have you dug?" Bai Zhen did not answer immediately. He leaned into Xie Mi's small spiritual world, took out a crystal placed on the top, and took it out.

The word [332] was clearly marked on it. Bai Zhen handed it to Solance and replied, "We dug to a depth of 332 kilometers, almost to the middle of the moon's mantle. This is the sample from there."

Solans looked at the crystal in his hand with the number 332 marked on it. He felt dizzy and fell straight backwards.

The experts around shouted: "Be careful with the sample!!!"

None of these people cared about Solance, but instead they cared about Ben.

If Solance collapses, he can still be saved in the hospital, but if the book is broken, he might really be gone.

Solans fell on the soft carpet. When he fell, Bai Zhen quickly created water to support Solans' head, preventing the doctor from hitting the ground with his head.

Bai Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and muttered in confusion: "Is this really so shocking that it would make people faint?"

"Haha." Daigo smiled bitterly helplessly.

Although he had already gotten used to Bai Zhen's outrageous behavior, this time's events were indeed beyond people's imagination.

Even if humans have built a lunar base today, the deepest they have dug is only 100 meters below the lunar crust.

The excavation work is so difficult because of technical reasons. Whether it is the energy to drive the drill, the hardness of the drill to drill into the lunar crust, or how to create a stable excavation environment, it is destined that digging holes on the moon cannot be too deep.

Other people dug down 10 meters at a time, and breaking through the depth of 10 meters was considered a major technological breakthrough. But when it came to Bai Zhen, they made breakthroughs one kilometer at a time and even dug directly to a place 50 kilometers below the moon.

Even on Earth, with the help of many high technologies, the deepest that humans have dug is only below 30 kilometers.

With the help of others, Solans gradually woke up.

The first thing I said when I woke up was, "332 kilometers!??"

Bai Zhen:.
I didn't expect that after fainting, I could still continue what I was saying.

Solance looked at Bai Zhen with burning eyes, asking for confirmation: "Is this true? Did you really dig that deep?"

"Whether I lied or not, you can find out by testing these samples."

Solance quickly explained: "I don't mean to question you, I'm just curious, the moon mantle should be very hot, how did you dig there?"

Bai Zhen replied: "The temperature there is indeed higher, but the moon is already old. The temperature of several hundred degrees in the moon mantle is nothing to me who can directly enter the magma. Oh, by the way, I also found something."

Bai Zhen took out the Moon Stone and Moonlight Peridot.

When people saw those two things, their eyes seemed to be shining.

As experts, they naturally recognized these things quickly.

"Moonstone? There really is a Moonstone on the moon!???"

"Oh my god, I never thought I would be able to see a rough moonstone one day!! I have only seen a little bit of crystals under a microscope before"

Daigo looked at the moonlight peridot stone in Bai Zhen's hand, and asked Bai Zhen to borrow it to take a closer look.

As a gem that can only be collected on the moon, it is no exaggeration to say that moonlight peridot is a treasure.

Bai Zhen then took out more than 1 sealed crystals that he had collected. These crystals were numbered neatly from 332 to . Some of the numbers were plural. This was because Bai Zhen sealed different samples at the same depth in different crystals.

Looking at this crystal that is as big as a small hill, the aerospace experts around feel like they are looking at a mountain of gold.

These things are countless times more attractive to them than gold!
Just based on these things, they can write tens of thousands of papers.

Seeing Bai Zhen constantly taking out things worth ten thousand taels of gold from the spiritual world, everyone in the hall held their breath and looked at Bai Zhen, expecting what else Bai Zhen could take out.

Finally, Bai Zhen took out a black cloth bag.

Bai Zhen opened the cloth bag and took out a pale white gem from it.

The moment Daigo saw the gem, his eyes widened.

Based on his years of experience dealing with minerals, he immediately saw that the gem was unusual.

He asked Bai Zhen anxiously: "Can you show it to me?"

"of course."

Bai Zhen handed the Jade Rabbit Stone to Daigo.

Daigo carefully took it. The stone was terribly small, weighing only about four or five grams. Daigo took out something like a strong flashlight, shone it carefully, and couldn't help but whispered, "What a beautiful gem."

At just one look, Daigo was deeply attracted by the gem.

This was definitely the most beautiful gem he had ever seen!
Daigo asked Bai Zhen: "Did you find this from the moon too?"

"Yes, according to my own research, this is a completely new substance that has never been discovered by humans. I named it Jade Rabbit Stone."

People who were not very interested in gems originally became excited when they heard that this was a newly discovered substance. They crowded around Daigo, wanting to see his face.

After everyone had looked at them, Daigo asked Bai Zhen: "You can sell all of these, right?"

Since Bai Zhen took it out, he must be planning to sell it.

As for such shameless words as asking Bai Zhenbai to donate, no one present would mention it.

Bai Zhen has saved the world, and now others have dug and collected these things with their own abilities. No matter how thick-skinned they are, they can't let Bai Zhen give them away for free.

Bai Zhen nodded affirmatively: "Of course, how much do you think these things are worth?"

How much is it worth?

For a moment, this question stumped Daigo.

If you ask about the market price of things brought down from the moon, it is almost impossible to find out.

For something like lunar soil, if a price must be set, the most important reference indicator is how much Bai Zhen spent to obtain it.

But as for the cost, Bai Zhen didn't seem to spend much.

The cost cannot be calculated, so we can just look at how much it would cost for these people at the center of the universe to get the same thing.

As long as it is lower than this cost, the other party will basically agree happily.

However, these samples from 332 kilometers underground would probably be difficult to collect even if human technology developed for another 100 years. Of course, there are practical reasons, which is that the cost of digging there is too high, and no one would spend so much money to actually dig.

It can be said that there is a high probability that it will not be possible to obtain the same samples in the future. These samples are unique.
If this valuation method doesn't work, then we can only see how much the league is willing to spend.

Daigo thought for a moment and said, "These are priceless treasures. If I really have to put a price on them, I think 500 billion is a small amount."

The cost of rocket launches is now well controlled. If you want to launch a manned rocket to the moon and land stably, the manufacturing cost will be at least 10 billion Alliance coins.

Even if we launch such rockets 50 times, it would be impossible to obtain such research samples.

The annual budget of the Space Center is about 1000 billion Alliance Coins. If half of the annual research budget can be used, it will be very cost-effective for the Space Center.

500 million.

Bai Zhen had never seen so much money.

But he also knew that these things were difficult to value, so Bai Zhen asked Daigo: "Are you interested in buying them?"

"Me? Of course, our Dewen Company is very interested, but I don't think our offer may be as high as the Center of the Universe."

These lunar soils are unlikely to bring economic value; they are more reflected in their scientific research value.

If you want to sell at a high price, it is best to sell to the center of the universe.

Solance also said quickly: "We can apply for a large amount of funds to purchase these samples!"

Solans was afraid that Bai Zhenzhen would sell all of these to a commercial company.

"I wonder how much you are willing to pay?"

Solance was in trouble.

In his opinion, these things are priceless treasures. When the research is completed in the future, these things can become milestone world-class treasures and be exhibited in museums. This cannot be measured by money, but one cannot take these samples away for free just because they will go down in history.

“It may take me a little time to apply.”

Solans did not agree immediately, but instead used the words "everything can be discussed" to calm Bai Zhen down first.

The other experts around him were looking at him pleadingly.

Bai Zhen thought about it for a moment and directly made a request: "How about this, talking about money is a bit too vulgar. How about we follow the most ancient trading method and barter?"

"Barter?" Solance and Daigo looked at Bai Zhen in confusion.

I don’t understand what is so precious in the center of the universe that could be exchanged for these samples.

Bai Zhen nodded affirmatively: "Exchange a lunar base with me."
