Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 271 270. People with a lot of money are indeed very reliable!

Rest during the day, travel at night, and be ready to repair the car at any time - occasionally fight pirates, and a few days pass in a flash.

During this period, Lin Shenxue and Wei Erwei reached some kind of agreement. From a certain day on, Lin Shenxue taught the other party how to identify and maintain machinery.

Wei Erwei taught Lin Shenxue how to maintain weapons and ammunition, especially how to reload ammunition... Although it was not useful, for some reason, Lin Shenxue was quite interested in it.

The two of them taught each other, and after a while, their relationship became pretty good. Then, when Tien came over and made some noise - you don't say it, you really don't say it!

The drunkard trio is here.

Every day at dinner time, it was Seifer and Frederick who would watch with sullen faces as the three of them drank beer, the wine in the wine cabinet, and rum, and then it would be Sannai who would step in and try to sober them up.

Occasionally, Dr. Mei would appear in human form, looking very familiar to Feldrich, but he just couldn't remember who he was.

In such a chaotic state, Sefer's car successfully arrived at the entrance of the target node city before the sun rose on the third night.

It was a natural stream formed by squeezed scorched mountains. Sand accumulated here layer by layer and then was removed manually. It was a lot of work, but very meaningful.

In the sense of tourism.

This place serves as a barrier, with a door open to the east, which is the direction from which Sefer came. After entering, you can go out from the western entrance through a huge underground passage.

If you go here, you can save at least five days to get to the node city of the United School, so passing through this pass has always been the first choice for passers-by.

——The tourism industry will naturally become prosperous.

Geologists have previously announced that although there is lava flowing here, it is not a volcanically active area. Based on geological calculations, it is unlikely that significant changes will occur for at least a thousand years.

Geothermal energy can be fully utilized... a bunch of BUFFs are added, so that investors are excited to pour hot money into it.

Regardless of these backgrounds, Sefer received a travel brochure in the communication, which detailed the various B&Bs...ah, just treat it as the area of B&Bs, and even made a serious electronic ranking for them.

Tourists... no, people coming and going can choose their favorite places through rankings and the like, but for Seifer, he completely sees through this trick.

In the final analysis, it is a high-priced rental parking fee. If you don’t want to pay too much, just go with others to a parking area farther away as a rest spot.

The better the location of the rest area, the higher the price will naturally be.

Just as Sefer was thinking about which B&B to choose with good value for money, Feldrich came over and coughed lightly.

"Hmm? Do you have any good suggestions?"

Cypher's backup body raised an eyebrow in a very 'human' way, thinking that since she was able to come, she must have some insights.

Then Feldrich pointed and selected one of the top-ranked ones... a luxurious B&B with a starting price of fifteen hundred yuan per person per night.

"This one is just okay. I went there once before when someone asked me to do business, and the service was acceptable. As for the others, hmph."

She looked unhappy, but the price...

Cypher hesitated for a moment, then decided to ignore it and continue scrolling. Then Feldrich slapped the table next to him in dissatisfaction.

"You wild... mercenary, do you look down on me? Or are you planning on letting me live in that kind of garbage place?"

"I have no money."

"Even though I was targeted by that guy, do you really need to care about such a small amount of money? Choose that one for me, otherwise I won't even feel comfortable resting."

Cypher turned to look at her. "Are you alone?"

"What are you talking about? Of course it's not just me, you have to come too." Then a smile that would never be seen on normal days bloomed on Sefer's bionic face with mechanical skin.

He smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Alf. If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't be able to enjoy such comfortable treatment."

“…How disgusting.”

This wasn't tsundere, but a genuine thought. After all, as the second-in-command of a large company, he had seen too many mercenaries changing their expressions.

So this guy is also not immune to this kind of vulgarity...

"I suppose you're thinking, 'So this guy is also the type who's obsessed with money—right?"

Sefer suddenly regained his serious expression and asked Tien to drive the car to the target location and contact the person in charge of the B&B at the same time.

"When someone generously offers a favor, you should smile back. It's basic etiquette. Even if you disagree with that person, at the end of the day, it won't cost you anything, so why not do it?"

Feldrich smirked and said, "Isn't this just greed?"

"At least I'm not going to take the money and blow up an orphanage."

"Tsk."

Feldrich had seen this kind of so-called "principled" guy before, and they usually didn't last long. Although Cypher was a good fighter, considering he definitely wouldn't live long...

For some reason, I felt a little unhappy and inexplicably worried.

After passing through the wide passage and actually entering the node city, even though he had already prepared himself mentally and seen the pictures, Seifer still couldn't help but exclaim "Wow".

Countless buildings are lined up one after another, built layer by layer on several slopes from low to high and from bottom to top, but it does not feel like "along the slope".

They come in all sorts of edges and shapes: some are square, some are round, some are smaller at the bottom and larger at the top, and some are completely irregular.

It’s like a bunch of Lego toys that don’t take into account the architectural structure and load-bearing structure. They are built based on mood and needs, and even give people a feeling of... a bird’s nest?

There are buildings that completely protrude from the sloping cliff. Even on the top floor of all the buildings, there is a wide bridge that runs across the entire node city area, and there is not even any support point underneath.

But it is really outrageous that this magical structure can withstand the crushing of small or even medium-sized mobile outposts.

The depth of this node city is naturally not as good as that of the transformation agency. After all, that one is rare, but from the first sight, it really made Sefer a little unbearable.

Who did the people in this world learn architecture from? And after learning this way, are they really not afraid of a collapse that will destroy everything below?

This kind of question may only be answered after arriving at school, but what we need to do now is another matter.

This very special-looking mobile base slowly drove up the hill under the gaze of the passing mercenaries, and then continued along the road following the diverted traffic flow.

It took more than half an hour to successfully arrive at the hotel they were going to. It was called a B&B on the surface, but in fact it was only open to wealthy independent mercenaries, representatives of various companies, and even some private guests.

Not to mention, Frederick had pretty good taste. When the mobile base was parked in the parking guidance area, Sefer was impressed by the warm lighting, the lack of visible light sources, and the quietness. He could even look down from the car and see the pavilions and waterside terraces within the courtyard wall.

If we ignore the fact that this thing was built on almost the top floor, with a pile of sloping and flat foundations directly underneath, stretching it into the air like a bird's nest, Cypher might appreciate it more.

Although I am not afraid of heights, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. There is no need to lie in bed and worry about whether I will fall into the underground hole with the house, right?

There's still steam coming out of those holes.
