I became a fox girl and was captured by the True Dragon Saint

62. I want to go fishing

The surface of the washed black iron glowed with a strong blue light.

Looking more closely, it turned out that the light was emitted by the runes above.

Even the scorching sun on the sea cannot cover the blue light, which shows the rich energy and solid spirit in this rune.

The shape of the black iron is also somewhat strange.

It is neither square nor round, like a piece of used chalk, flattened on all four sides to form the shape of an obelisk.

Looking at that thing, especially the ancient characters on it, everyone seemed to have thought of something.

But they didn't dare to confirm it for a while, nor were they willing to admit that this thing was what they thought it was.

Until an excited shout shattered all their hopes.

"It's the Obelisk Power Hub! Found it! I actually found it!"

A monk who looked like a scholar shouted at the top of his lungs, even ignoring the rules of being disqualified, and used his spiritual power to fly over quickly and landed on Jiang Keer's boat.

The host Huang Bozhong, who was watching the game, also noticed the situation here and flew over to switch the game screen here.

"Oh? Excuse me, senior, what is this 'Obelisk Power Hub'? I have just arrived in Shenzhou and have never heard of it. Please enlighten me." Huang Bozhong asked humbly with a slight bow.

"Ahem!" The scholar cleared his throat, his face flushed, and he took the microphone crystal with excitement, saying, "Speaking of the obelisk power hub, we must mention the 'Star Ship' plan of the ancient monk civilization!"

"What is the 'Starship' project?"

"The Star Ship Project is one of the most ambitious goals of the era in the history of the ancient monk civilization, and it is also one of the most magnificent industrial projects! It carries the dream of all the monks in Kyushu during the most prosperous period of the ancient monk civilization... for the vast starry sky outside Kyushu!"

"Just listening to it makes my blood boil!" Huang Bozhong also said excitedly, "Please continue to explain in detail."

"The goal of the 'Star Ship' project is to build a hyperspace cloud ship that can achieve instantaneous cross-domain between points at ultra-long distances. It is the predecessor of the Si Tian Yi. To be precise... the Si Tian Yi project of the previous emperor is a reorganization of the Star Ship project. At least half of the materials used in it are the remains of the 'Star Ship'!"

"What is the star ship then?"

When Huang Bozhong asked this question, the scholar's emotions once again boiled to a new height.

He opened his arms and said in a trembling voice: "That is the first and only hyperspace cloud boat in the history of Shenzhou! It can break through the space barrier with its huge power source and achieve instantaneous jumps between galaxies! It's a pity..."

The scholar monk's expression darkened.

"Unfortunately, due to a miscalculation in a tiny link, the entire starship was unstable. So during the first space jump, the starship failed to withstand the strong space turbulence and disintegrated on the spot.

Since then, the ship has been torn into pieces, and key components have been scattered across the Nine Provinces and the void, with their whereabouts unknown. To this day, they have not been completely recovered...especially the most critical 'Obelisk Power Hub'!"

Now, everyone's eyes towards the "broken piece of iron" changed.

Except for Jiang Ke'er, only Jiang Ke'er looked as if she had expected it. It was not until she saw the shocked expressions of the people around her that she quickly pretended to be surprised to make herself appear to fit in.

The scholar monk suddenly knelt down in front of the "broken iron block" with tears in his eyes, shouting: "This is the crystallization of the wisdom of an era of civilization! Most of the achievements of the Starship Project are gathered in this hub. I never thought that I would be able to witness it return to the world again in my lifetime... God has eyes!"

His performance was full of power and emotional appeal, making everyone present feel the weight and greatness of the history of that ancient civilization.

"Then how much can it be sold for?" Jiang Keer blinked and spoke at a very inappropriate time.

"Vague! So tacky! How can such a precious antique be measured with money?"

"Don't talk nonsense. If you don't tell me the price, I will auction it off."

Talking about historical significance in front of treasures is like capitalists talking about dreams. In the final analysis, they just want to get something for free without paying.

The scholar monk curled his lips and said: "The Jiuzhou Aeronautical Research Institute once issued a reward. If anyone can bring back the most important 'Obelisk Power Hub' of the Starship, they are willing to exchange it for 50 million magic crystals..."

"Fifty million?!"

The people around gasped wildly, and the greenhouse effect was about to happen.

Jiang Ke'er curled her lips in disdain: "Your bargaining is not professional at all. If you really wanted it, you shouldn't have told me how important it is in the beginning... Of course, I would have known it even if you didn't tell me."

The scholar monk remained silent, but he was filled with regrets in his heart... He was too excited just now, and for a moment he couldn't control himself, and said everything he should and shouldn't say.

In the final analysis, it is because he has too little social experience. Researchers are too easily detached from society, and are often manipulated by merchant capital. They have no shrewdness in their minds, and are naturally no good at things like bargaining.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are a researcher at the Kyushu Aeronautical Research Institute," Jiang Ke'er said to the scholar monk.

The scholar monk smiled bitterly and nodded, knowing that once his identity was revealed, bargaining would be extremely difficult.

The research institute will definitely blame me for speaking too hastily later.

"One billion! Our research institute is willing to buy this 'Obelisk Energy Hub' for one billion!" the scholar monk gritted his teeth.

The air is warming again.

Among them, the monks from Diaoshen Sect were the most uncomfortable and crazy. They felt as if there was a lemon stuck in their heart, the kind that had been peeled and would become watery when touched.

"One billion? Who are you trying to fool?" Jiang Ke'er sneered, "This thing is worth at least 10 billion! It is at the core level of the Si Tian Yi. Any sect can get countless results from it. They can even get the lost formation inscriptions of the ancient cultivators, as well as the ideas for operating powerful techniques."

"Indeed...it is indeed so." The scholar monk sighed, knowing that he would not be able to get away with it.

Although negotiating prices had nothing to do with him and should be left to senior executives within the institute, he still wanted to make some contribution to Kyushu's aerospace industry and minimize the institute's financial expenditures.

Although the institute is temporarily under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family of the Tang Empire, the institute certainly cannot come up with the tens of billions of funds, and neither can Lord Li.

At that time, they would have to go to the Jiugong Chamber of Commerce or local forces to borrow money, and then those capitalists would take the opportunity to propose various coercive clauses, making the Jiuzhou Aerospace Research Institute gradually become their pawn and no longer able to conduct free research.

There is an even worse possibility, that is, Kyushu Aerospace Research Institute failed to successfully obtain this power hub, and it was auctioned off by a large chaebol to build a new institute and conduct its own research.

From then on, Kyushu Aerospace Research Institute existed in name only.

The people around him did not notice the scholar's pain and were still immersed in the astronomical figure of 10 billion magic crystals.

This is more than just getting rich overnight, it's like becoming an emperor overnight!

What kind of shit luck did this bastard have...

But amid all the discussions, under Huang Bozhong's camera, Jiang Ke'er waved her hands impatiently.

"Take it away quickly."

"Ah?" The scholar blushed upon hearing this, looking embarrassed. "I don't have that much money. I still need to contact the hospital..."

"free of charge."

"What?"

"This is for you, take it quickly...don't delay my fishing."

(2/2)

63. Challenge

The scholar monk was still immersed in the word "free" and felt dizzy and almost lost consciousness.

"This is my name card. It has my contact information on it."

The scholar monk bent down with tears in his eyes and respectfully handed the name card to Jiang Keer.

Only then did the people around realize that the job title written on it was actually "Chief Researcher of Kyushu Aerospace Research Institute."

"Thank you for your contribution to Kyushu's aerospace industry. If you need anything in the future, come to me. As long as I can help, I will do my best to help you! And all the research results related to this 'Obelisk Energy Hub'... will have your name at the top!"

"Okay," Jiang Ke'er was also happy to increase her own popularity in exchange for some points.

As long as your popularity increases, you will make money regardless of whether others have a good or bad attitude towards you.

"May I ask your name?"

"My name is Shui Ye."

"Okay... I won't bother you anymore. I'll ask Lord Li to send someone to pick you up. From today on, you are the most honorable benefactor of the institute. We will come to visit you regularly..."

"You're welcome. Come on, I still have some fishing to do."

Jiang Keer fully understood the principle of being in possession of a treasure. Billions of wealth would bring huge troubles, and the troubles would come even before the obelisk was realized - but these were just small problems and she didn't care.

What drives the world of Kyushu forward are the strong, capital, and knowledge.

Knowledge is the foundation of everything, so you will never suffer any loss if you make good friends with these top intellectuals.

In her opinion, what the Novice Village needs most is not powerful force or large amounts of money invested, but an improvement in the villagers’ vision and knowledge.

With those, the Novice Village will get better generation after generation.

Today's gift is not a big expense for Jiang Ke'er, but it can gain her a huge network of high-end talents, which is a profitable investment.

Of course, the most important reason is that this stone is of no use to him.

She had already checked the obelisk's energy circuits, thoroughly explored the technology contained therein, and perfectly copied the entire obelisk's structure in her mind.

Finally, he came to the conclusion that the technical level of this thing was far behind the moon-making technology he had learned, and there was no need to study it.

All technologies produced by the system are at the top level in the three-dimensional universe, so things whose technological value is greater than the material value are worthless to oneself.

What's more, I can continue fishing.

This is big news after just the first cast. Who knows what good things I will catch later... The system really doesn't lie to me! This is worth the money!

At this time, the people from Diaoshen Sect were so jealous that they couldn't even make a sound. Fortunately, Jiang Ke'er gave this thing away for free in the end, which made them feel much more balanced.

They couldn't help but whisper to each other, secretly cursing Jiang Ke'er for being a fool.

Jiang Keer's recent harvest also aroused the fishing desire of all the contestants. They muttered in their hearts, hoping that they could become the next angler to become rich instantly.

"Why should we give it to them for free..." Pei Min felt unhappy for Jiang Ke'er, "That's 10 billion magic crystals!"

"We are weak and powerless. Do you really think that these 10 billion will fall into our hands?" Jiang Ke'er asked, "If everyone knows that you are rich, but you don't have the power to protect your food... will you be able to take it and spend it?"

Pei Min was slightly stunned and fell into deep thought.

"After all, we are too weak. Pei Min, you must practice sword skills well and protect our masters...嘤嘤嘤..." Jiang Ke'er wiped away her non-existent tears in a cheesy way.

But Pei Min did not retort this time.

"Yes, Master, yes." Pei Min whispered to himself.

After what happened just now, no one questioned Jiang Keer's choice anymore.

But they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, they had just caught such a precious thing here, was there anything else in stock underneath?

Or, is there a treasure trove underneath, with a lot of good things inside?

Ever since Jiang Keer fished for the obelisk, some monks have risked being eliminated by diving into the sea and diving directly into the water to search for treasure.

Unfortunately, nothing has been achieved until now.

The scene under Jiang Keer's boat was also ordinary, with ordinary sand and ordinary mud.

The monks dug out all the mud and sand, almost reaching the rock circle, but they couldn't find any valuable objects.

The frenzy was forced to cool down gradually, and the sea returned to calm...but for this ordinary sport of fishing, the contestants began to have a little extraordinary expectation.

Jiang Keer's expression was calm, as if the 10 billion yuan storm just now was not worth mentioning to her. She was just silently sensing the movements on the fishing rod.

No one knows how the system works to fish out something worth tens of billions... And it's just a stone tablet, but it can actually simulate the feeling of a fish biting a hook...

coming!

Jiang Keer's eyes became slightly solemn.

There was a slight vibration from the fishing rod, as if a fish was testing it.

When the test is completed, there will be an extremely violent tremor... then it is time to lift the rod!

collapse!

The fishing line suddenly stretched straight, and an incredibly strong force came from below!

Jiang Keer stood up and tried her best to lift the rod, controlling the tightness of the fishing line and consuming the opponent's strength to prevent the fishing line from breaking.

The entire boat was pulled to one side by the enormous force. Gongsun Xiaotao and Pei Min screamed and were almost thrown into the water.

What a powerful force!

Even with Jiang Keer's micro-manipulation skills, it was difficult to keep the fishing line from breaking, but she knew that the fishing line was already overwhelmed and was at risk of breaking at any time.

This is definitely a big deal!

Unfortunately, the thing Jiang Keer feared the most still happened.

The fishing line broke with a snap.

The other half of the line, along with the fishhook, sank into the sea.
