801 Flaunting One's Wealth

What made the players feel the most interesting was that Ark Company was fearless as they deliberately placed the ores at the entrance of the safe area to show off.

They did not have any preventive measures and just piled them there.

They even rented a temporary warehouse within Raptor Company and hired more than ten newbie players to move the ores back and forth.

This kind of behavior was more like showing off to the players.

On one hand, it was showing off the company's ability. To be able to dig so many ore mines in one night was indeed very impressive.

On the other hand, it was also to show Weixing Technology what they could do.

"Look, didn't you guys make it impossible for me to survive here? We even dug the ores here in front of you! What can you do?"

The player's hearts were filled with curiosity, wondering which company would dare to come and collect the Ark Company's goods.

At this moment, Zhao Xiu was also in the building.

He held onto the railing and looked down at Fang Heng.

Many of the players were spies of Weixing Technology. When Zhao Xiu woke up early in the morning, he immediately received news that the Ark Company had obtained the ores.

F*ck!

Zhao Xiu could not help but curse. How did the Ark Company get so many ores?

A player rushed over and whispered into Zhao Xiu's ear, "Brother Zhao, I've checked. Last night, only two large companies were collecting ores at night. They both said that they did not cooperate with the Ark Company."

"Are you sure?"

"I checked. There shouldn't be any. Moreover, based on their company scale, there's no need for them to mine such low-level ores, and there's no need for them to go against us."

"Tsk." Zhao Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "Continue to investigate and find out about the people behind Ark Company."

"Okay, I've already sent people to investigate, but Big Brother, they still have a lot of ores piled up at the door. I think they are just showing off to us. Shouldn't we send people to rob them?"

"Are you stupid? To make a move near the safe areas? Just for these few ores? Is it necessary?" Zhao Xiu spat at his subordinates, then, he looked down fiercely. "So what if they can dig up the ores? I'd like to see who dares to trade with them."

Below the hall, Fang Heng noticed the players' gazes and looked up.

"Boss Fang!"

Mo Jiawei had been waiting at the mission area. When he saw Fang Heng, he waved at him.

Fang Heng looked away from Zhao Xiu and walked toward Mo Jiawei.

"You've been waiting for a long time. There was a small problem at the fallen corridor, so there was a slight delay."

"It's fine. I'm here. The mining operation last night went smoothly."

Mo Jiawei had stayed up for more than half the night, but he was still in high spirits as he said, "Today, quite a few companies have come up to talk to me. They were asking me indirectly about where they got so many ores, but I didn't pay any attention to them. With one look, I can tell that they're here to gather information."

"Hmm."

Fang Heng hummed softly. He did not put his attention on these ordinary players.

"Also, I temporarily rented a warehouse to store the ores. We've collected enough ores for one night. Right, who are we going to sell the ores to?"

"The Raptor Company."

Fang Heng shrugged.

Trading with NPCs was the most convenient and efficient method. It was a direct payment and delivery.

At most, he would lose a little but he didn't care about such a small amount of money. He just thought it would save him a lot of trouble.

"Okay, I'll bring you along."

Mo Jiawei didn't have any objections to this. He followed Fang Heng back to the counter in the commission area.

"Hello, Raptor Company is providing you with a service. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Mo Jiawei moved closer to the counter and looked at the person behind the counter. "After completing Commission No. 2, we will submit the goods in Warehouse No. 7."

"The entire warehouse?"

The NPC behind the counter was a little surprised.

"Yes, the entire warehouse."

Fang Heng nodded and handed over his temporary identity card.

"Okay, thank you for your support to the Raptor Company. We will immediately send people to check the warehouse and analyze the ore grade."

The NPC cashier quickly entered the information on the main control board and looked at Fang Heng, he continued, "Mr. Fang, due to the different grades of the ores, the purchase price is also different. The company's staff will need some time to analyze and classify the ores."

"Raptor Company will provide you with 40,000 contribution points in advance. The remaining points will be automatically transferred to your contribution card after completing the inventory. In addition, due to the large number of missions you have completed, Raptor Company will upgrade your identity card for free."

[Hint: You have completed the mission-ore collection. You will receive 40,000 contribution points (the remaining points will be obtained after the Raptor Company has completed the calculation).]

[Hint: your friendship with the Raptor Company has increased significantly.]

[Hint: Your identity card has been upgraded.]

"Thank you."

Fang Heng shrugged. It was enough.

Since contribution points could only be counted as customer points after use, Fang Heng followed Mo Jiawei to the trading area.

The two of them thought for a moment and bought a large amount of basic protective suits, off-road vehicles for transportation, and the highest-tier multi-purpose pickaxe from Raptor Company.

The entire transaction was completed in public.

What was the meaning of this?

The players would never have thought that the Ark Company would actually hand over the ores they collected to Raptor Company.

They were also doing such a loss-making thing?

Moreover, what was the meaning of purchasing so many weapons, transportation equipment, and protective suits immediately after the transaction?

For a moment, the players had strange expressions on their faces. They whispered to each other and try to figure out the Ark Company's intentions.

"Old Zhang, what do you think?"

"In my opinion, the Ark Company is playing a very big game."

"Oh?"

"I think Ark Company is not ordinary." Old Zhang looked in the direction of Fang Heng and the others, and said in a deep voice, "Ark Company is showing off their wealth and ability. You see, they are directly trading with Raptor Company to send a message to the outside world. They are not afraid of being banned by Weixing Technology at all..."

"It seems that there's going to be a major change in our Tianlin mining area. Now, let's see how Weixing Technology will deal with it."

Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei did not know that the other players who were whispering were talking about them.

The two of them discussed the next step of their plan.

Originally, they were prepared to leave immediately. However, there was still a large portion of the ores that had not been moved back to the warehouse yet.

Considering the follow-up farming operations, Mo Jiawei suggested that they might as well take the first step. First, they would fully utilize Raptor Company's off-road vehicles, helicopters, and advanced mining equipment. Then, they could earn contribution points, and by then, they could run to new areas and adapt quickly.

After all, it was more convenient to use the money to open a path.

Fang Heng thought that it made sense.

This area was filled with mines, so it was more convenient to earn money.

Since they were already here, it wouldn't be too late to leave tomorrow after earning another wave.

"I've done my research. This is a large-scale mining area. There are many mining sites five kilometers away from the east. Most players choose to mine during the day. The ores they obtain will be gathered in the safe areas, and they'll trade through Weixing Technology as a middleman."
