Elf Trader: My trump card is the Light/Dark Mantis.

After finishing all this, Jiang Gu was satisfied and could finally get some real rest!

He lay in the bathtub, slowly closed his eyes, and let out a comfortable breathing sound.

Seeing this, the two little cockroaches stopped disturbing Jiang Gu's rest and quietly slowed down their movements, obediently taking a bath with him.

Shortly after, the spaceship issued a notification.

"This automated navigation has been completed."

"Automatic navigation has been completed..."

"This time..."

Jiang Gu opened his eyes again.

Chapter 39: Volcano Star

At this moment, Jiang Gu's spaceship was floating above the planet Kross.

He came here to continue the mining project!

Jiang Gu didn't even disembark from the spaceship; he simply quickly deployed two pre-programmed mining vehicles.

They immediately set off from there.

"By the time I come back next time, the accumulated crystals and photosynthetic energy should be enough for me to start a company."

Jiang Gu sat aboard the spaceship, silently making calculations.

He then rested for a while.

About three hours later.

Jiang Gu stepped onto the solid ground of the volcano planet.

……

Jiang Gu had previously thought that a place like Kross, with its thin atmosphere, was already very dangerous.

Under high-energy cosmic radiation, one must wear protective clothing, otherwise there is a risk of sudden death.

But compared to Volcano Star, it's nothing!

The radiation intensity is similar.

But the climate here is outrageous!

In short, it can be summed up in one word—hot!

Even though he was wearing a heat-resistant spacesuit, Jiang Gu still felt uncomfortable all over due to the high temperature.

After being released, the two little mantises, Hiroda and Sadero, were listless. If it weren't for the protection of the mysterious water droplets, they might have suffered from heatstroke!

Jiang Gu looked around.

Putting everything else aside, he actually saw gushing lava, releasing terrifying heat everywhere!

The so-called solid ground beneath Jiang Gu's feet is actually a special structure made of light purple volcanic ash, and you can feel the high temperature contained within it just by stepping on it.

At the farthest point in his vision, Jiang Gu could vaguely see a pile of crimson boulders stacked together, forming a passage that led to an unknown destination...

"That should be the path leading to the interior of the volcano planet."

"Looks like I'm in luck this time?"

"We arrived directly at the location that was represented as a map in the game."

"This saves me the trouble of finding my own way into the volcano planet."

Jiang Gu analyzed the current situation and felt that the spaceship's landing location was perfect!

but……

"What seemed ordinary in the game became extremely exaggerated and outrageous in reality!"

He sighed, realizing that if he hadn't known this was a planet with such unusual characteristics...

Jiang Gu even felt like he was in the midst of the apocalypse!

However, he hadn't had a chance to fully appreciate the scenery of this planet for very long.

A shadow quickly flashed past Jiang Gu's eyes.

"This is?"

He quickly looked around and then spotted a dark gray figure on a small hill made of dark purple volcanic ash.

"Is this Tok?"

Jiang Gu suddenly felt a jolt.

The elf before me was a small creature covered in dark reddish-black fur, with two hard, steel-like horns on its forehead.

Its entire body was dark in color, including its hooves, which were a grayish-yellow from being scorched by high temperatures. Only its two eyes were a bright gold and extremely bright!

This is the elf—Tok!

Jiang Gu only needed a moment to identify it...

Tok, who was in front of him, ran away warily.

Jiang Gu didn't pursue him; he had already checked the information from the Data Eye.

【Name: Tok】

[Level: lv.19]

[Attribute: Fire]

[Characteristics: None]

[Mastered moves: Slam Strike, Armor Break, Fire Breath, Black Flame Strike]

【个体值——HP：31攻击：10防御:22特攻:27特防:18速度:11】

The escaped Tok was not qualified enough to be subdued.

"Excellent! Our first goal upon arriving on Volcano Star will be to capture a few Tok with Heavenly King-level potential!"

Jiang Gu pondered excitedly.

The Tok sprite can not only be sold to earn points.

More importantly, in the game Seer, the evolved form of Tok is the extremely excellent mount Hertok!

Jiang Gu already has a flying vehicle, and now he just needs a riding vehicle.

So he called out.

"Hilda, Sadero".

"Let's go, let's get started!"

……

A day later, Jiang Gu walked on the surface of the volcano planet with a gloomy expression.

Judging from the fact that he was kicking up piles of volcanic ash every now and then as he walked, it was clear that he was venting his frustration.

Clearly, Jiang Gu's plan to find Tok was not going smoothly.

Tok was originally a spirit in the game Seer that could not be captured through conventional means.

Therefore, although Jiang Gu discovered traces of this race of elves on the surface of the volcano star, the total number of Tok is very small.

He barely encountered any!

Moreover, their qualifications are not very good!

Jiang Gu had absolutely no desire to capture him!

Of course, there are benefits to exploration as well.

Jiang Gu discovered a unique product of the volcanic planet—the fire element.

In the original game, energy was obtained by defeating specific spirits.

In reality, Jiang Gu would need to travel to places where magma converges, resulting in an extreme concentration of fire-type abilities, to collect them.

He had already discovered two such locations before.

At this moment, Jiang Gu was pleasantly surprised to see the third place!

Ahead, in a low-lying area, several streams of lava converge at a single point.

And a bright spark is slowly blooming in the void.

"Not bad! Your luck isn't completely terrible!"

Jiang Gu's initially agitated mood improved somewhat.

However, collecting fire element is much more difficult than collecting photosynthetic energy on Kross. After all, the structure of a typical planetary exploration vehicle combined with a mining machine simply cannot withstand the high temperature of lava.

After obtaining it, you need to spend points to purchase advanced mining equipment!

So Jiang Gu simply recorded the coordinates of the fire element.

We plan to come back to mine it again at a later time.
