Big Data Cultivation

Chapter 2563: Chapter 2555: Gradually Unfolding

How many ships’ worth of cargo? The brilliant starry sky in Outer Space, there are dozens of ships’ worth!

Some ships have been drifting in space for more than two years, which is unavoidable. They’re almost at their destination, but then an Insect Race invasion occurred. Returning would waste energy, so they have to hide a bit further back.

Anyway, the cost of food, drink, and sleep for the crew doesn’t consume much in terms of resources. The real cost would be sailing back, not to mention the energy needed for the journey. Just the docking fees at the port would be a significant expense.

However, Xuan Gao also knew that things couldn’t be pushed too far. After calculating, he replied, "There are eight ships, all carrying scarce materials. I can clear out eight docks for you. How about that?"

Feng Jun was very skeptical. The underground docks he could clear out, perhaps it was just eight. But for him, it really didn’t matter, so he nodded, "Alright, just put them on the asteroid like last time. Now, tell me about the second-hand warships you have."

This time, the warships Xuan Gao had weren’t organized into a formation. But roughly calculated, they were about the equipment of one and a half battalions. The good news is that there was quite a bit of ammunition on the ships, with two supply ships fully loaded with it.

In fact, on those eight cargo ships, two also had special ammunition that Xingzheng Star could not produce. However, for ordinary ammunition, Xingzheng Star wasn’t really lacking, having ramped up production at the start of the war, leaving ammunition in surplus now.

Completing this transaction took Feng Jun another three days, and just as he was pondering how to approach Han Hai True Sage, Han Hai True Sage contacted him proactively, "Feng Xiaoyou, I’ve discovered a Mining Star, with quite a few energy stones on it."

Obviously, he placed great value on the attributes of Feng Jun’s transportation tools.

Mining Star... Feng Jun mused and remarked, "This matter, I estimate you’ll need to discuss with Xiaotong True Sage."

"It’s discussed," Xiaotong True Sage, sensing his name, lowered his Divine Sense. "I permit you to transport two hundred Golden Core and several True Immortals there. There will also be Golden Core from Yuangang and Xuanhuang to join."

Feng Jun hesitated for a moment, but some words must be said, "Then next, should Han Hai True Sage look after fellow disciples?"

"Looking after fellow disciples should be expected, right?" Han Hai was a bit puzzled, but then immediately realized, "You have something going on?"

"I’ve confirmed that the Lingmu Sect participated in the attack on White Pebble Beach," Feng Jun answered thoughtfully, "I now intend to deduce who exactly, which might take me a long time."

Upon hearing this, Han Hai True Sage straightforwardly asked, "Do you need me to do something?"

This Great Sage is really on point! Feng Jun hesitated for a moment and answered, "I find it difficult to gather all the information on everyone. If there are errors and omissions, how should I search?"

"You shouldn’t get too close to Lingmu Sect, right?" Han Hai first asked curiously, then immediately understood, "Got it, you’re worried I’ll be busy watching our disciples long-term and won’t have time to ensure your safety in the Lingmu Sect area?"

How could a True Sage not understand? He was just too lazy to think about it a moment ago, but he guessed right with a little thought.

Feng Jun naturally wouldn’t deny it and could only respond with a little embarrassment, "I didn’t want to be so abrupt. Unfortunately, Wei Sancai is the Clan True Sage, so I can’t invite him, and Yi Jue True Immortal has an even worse relationship with Lingmu Sect."

"I knew it," Han Hai True Sage spoke quickly, "You’ve found a breakthrough and are still busy with trivial matters on the planet, so why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

Feng Jun could only smile wryly, "How do I bring up such matters? If you ask, I can tell. If you don’t ask, how can I say?"

"So much thinking..." Han Hai True Sage murmured indifferently, then replied, "No worries, there’s neither people nor insects around that Mining Star like your Big Planet, so I don’t need to personally oversee it. Having a Nascent Soul High Stage there is enough."

"That’s good," Feng Jun was overjoyed at these words, "True Sage, lead me to see that Mining Star first."

The Mining Star, located about seven to eight billion miles from the front-line star system, appeared as a Broken Stone Zone, stretching over several tens of millions of miles, but there were actually several planets with diameters exceeding ten thousand miles revolving around the center ceaselessly.

"This phenomenon is quite strange," Han Hai True Sage said quietly as he watched with Feng Jun, "Initially, I thought a small world was being prepared here as Chaos opened, only to later find the center might be a gateway to the Void."

Shouldn’t the center be a white dwarf or a black hole? Feng Jun nodded, "It is indeed quite strange... Can one enter the Void?"

Han Hai True Sage shook his head, "I haven’t tried. Without you, I don’t want to try either. Once your matters are settled, we can explore further... That one is the Mining Star."

The Mining Star is roughly fifteen thousand miles in diameter. The environment isn’t good, being generally around minus one hundred eighty degrees, though gravity doesn’t have any peculiarities.

Feng Jun detected the "nearby minerals," raising his eyebrows slightly, "The content of energy stones... really is quite a lot."

Han Hai True Sage nodded slightly, "Comparable to your Big Planet. Unfortunately, in total volume, it can’t compare."

Feng Jun discovered that the Mining Star was so huge that its gravity was six times that of Earth’s, how could it compare to this star?

He chuckled, "I just had good luck and happened upon it. But half of the minerals aren’t mine."

Interestingly, Han Hai True Sage was still thinking about other things, "I think your excavation machines are pretty good, get me some."

"This might be a bit tricky," Feng Jun replied solemnly, "the temperature here is too low. I guess, like my excavator, it needs customization... Currently, it’s not advisable for us to reveal ourselves. It’d be more appropriate to act after the front-line battles have ended."

Han Hai True Sage looked at him through the mist with a curious expression, "Then, how were you able to customize things before?"

"Wasn’t I doing nothing at that time?" Feng Jun spread his hands, expressing innocence, "After a few transactions, it caught the Federation’s attention, so now I don’t trade with them anymore."

"Just continue trading, what’s wrong if they notice? As long as you don’t expose yourself, it doesn’t matter," Han Hai True Sage replied casually. Maybe he didn’t want Feng Jun to misunderstand, so he paused and said, "I readily agreed to your request, for my matters... shouldn’t you do the same?"

If someone familiar with him heard this, they might be utterly shocked: Is there really a time when the Han Hai Great Sage is so easy to talk to?

Feng Jun was also taken aback upon hearing this, and then smiled wryly, nodding, "You’re right, I’ve indeed overlooked it."

Since he had decided to purchase excavation equipment, he simply landed on the planet to conduct an on-site survey. He wanted to have a clear understanding of factors like rock hardness.

An hour later, after all the data was collected, he looked at Han Hai True Sage, "So now... shall I take you out first?"

"Alright," Han Hai True Sage nodded, "Come and pick me up in ten days."

He was sent to the Ice Plate, and in a blink of an eye, Feng Jun was nowhere to be seen.

Han Hai True Sage shook his head and summoned a Nascent Soul, "Go to the Insect World entrance and notify Yuangang and Xuanhuang that ten Golden Core disciples are needed to receive Xuanshui Sect disciples entering the Mining Star... Xiaotong True Sage has agreed."

The Nascent Soul hesitated before speaking, "Great Sage, that entrance is very difficult to traverse. It would be more convenient for Mountain Master Feng to go there."

"I know it’s more convenient for him," Han Hai True Sage shook his head, "but his time is indeed... quite precious."

Ten days later, Feng Jun rushed over and transported the disciples of Xuanshui, Yuangang, and Xuanhuang Sects to the Mining Star.

Their safety was entirely out of his hands; he only handled the transportation back and forth.

Nevertheless, Xuanshui Sect also sent three Nascent Souls, one High-Rank and two Low-Rank; as long as they didn’t encounter a large swarm of Insects, they could largely ensure their safety.

It was especially noteworthy that Feng Jun also brought them a hundred pieces of mining equipment: thirty open-air and seventy tunnel types, along with two hundred Golden Cores, exactly two per piece.

Han Hai True Sage couldn’t help but feel a bit perplexed, "Didn’t you say it needed customization? How did you get them so quickly?"

This question truly made Feng Jun feel a bit embarrassed. He replied with a wry smile, "I initially thought it was a special case. When I inquired, I found out that such cases aren’t that rare, after all. In space, there are many cold places."

In short, although the Mining Star had low temperatures, it wasn’t as rare as the six-times gravity situation. Hesheng had enough spare parts, and it only took a slight modification upon receiving the order.

Hearing this, Han Hai True Sage nodded, "The rules of this world are somewhat peculiar, but... you’ll get used to it. How much should I pay you for these devices?"

"I traded them for energy stones," Feng Jun replied casually, "Once they mine the ores, feel free to take some as payment."

He knew that with Han Hai True Sage’s character, he would never take advantage of him, so he didn’t mention giving it as a gift.

Sure enough, Han Hai nodded, "If it’s a local production, then it doesn’t matter. Just take a bit more at that time."

Feng Jun lifted his hand in a cupping gesture, "Great Sage, please look after them for a couple of days. Let them get familiar with the equipment, and I’ll come by in two days."

Watching him leave swiftly, a True Immortal of the Xuanshui Sect couldn’t help but frown, "This Mountain Master Feng... isn’t he a bit too busy?"

Han Hai True Sage shook his head, slowly uttering four words, "Neglecting main duties!"

His comment was spot on. In these ten days, Feng Jun was not only interacting with Xingzheng Star.

Zuo Jing, Youjing, and Xiajing received a large supply of materials. In this drastically resource-scarce emergency, these supplies could massively boost morale, and both the authorities and military turned a blind eye to his presence—after all, the other two Kyo were doing the same.

Precisely because of this, Feng Jun acquired a massive amount of materials and information, then transported them back to Earth. He ended up staying on Earth for nearly a hundred days, spending considerable time, and had no time to meet Yi Jue.

Now he had finally arrived at the entrance of Geng Zi Yuan, which was their agreed meeting place.

Inside Geng Zi Yuan, a Golden Core discovered him through observing the formation, finally breathing a sigh of relief. He crushed a talisman, "You’re finally here, sir..."
