The system invites me to be the boss

Chapter 145
With the bell cat and a fairly detailed map, it only took one day for the double-headed eagle to bring Jian Rui to the sea area rich in cultivation beads.

There is also a distance of more than 3 kilometers from the fixed entrance to the impasse in Africa.

And with the urinary nature of the black guys, even if there is a fixed entrance, they will not explore here in such a short period of time.

In fact, not only Odyss Company of the black buddy, even Sam's Company, the pace of expansion will not be so fast.

So this area is empty and desolate.

Zhou Xinyao took out a set of oxygen supply equipment from the back of the double-headed eagle, and carefully put it on for Jian Rui.

"I told you not to come, but you didn't listen," Jian Rui said, "We're all going to go to sea, what's the point of you staying on the shore alone?"

It is very meaningful to wait here for your return.

Thinking this way in her heart, Zhou Xinyao said, "It's okay, I can practice, and it happens that the scenery here is not bad."

"Then you have to pay attention to safety," Jian Rui said, "Leave when you encounter danger, don't try to be brave."

"Don't worry, Captain," Zhou Xinyao said with a smile, "With the double-headed eagle here, and my flying shoes, there will be no problem."

Flying shoes are tiny flying devices that can be used for personal flying.

Due to the limited materials, there was no mass production this time. This pair was specially made for her by Jian Rui.

With the flying shoes, Zhou Xinyao can fly more than 6 meters high, and the speed is almost half that of a [-]-star flight.

It is not good for fighting, but it is still very useful for avoiding some dangers.

It's no wonder Jian Rui is so careful.

Now Zhou Xinyao is almost the director of the impasse base, and she is basically in charge of everything big and small. If something really happened, where would he find such a good helper for a while.

After a few more words of advice, Jian Rui and Brother Sisi were ready to go into the sea.

In order to improve efficiency, this time he not only brought a lot of oxygen cylinders, but also brought more than a dozen workers from the Black Iron tribe.

After a few kilometers away from the coast, Jian Rui dived straight into the bottom of the sea, and soon found several huge shells.

Jian Rui and the members of the Black Iron Clan still used the old method, asking them to act as "bait". After the tentacles in the shell entangled them, Jian Rui took the opportunity to suck up their energy, and then took out the cultivation beads.

As expected of the once desperate situation in Africa, there are quite a lot of these shells in this sea area. In one day, they caught more than 1000 shells.

And the deeper the sea, the bigger the shell, the more cultivation beads inside, and the better the quality.

Unknowingly, a few days have passed. Jian Rui and Brother Siwei's group have traveled thousands of kilometers away from the place where they went to the sea. The depth of the water has exceeded 200 meters, and 5-star desperate marine creatures have begun to appear around them.

Although it is not a fear for the thinking brother who is about to enter the 8-star, but this is in the sea.

The transfer of energy in seawater will be amplified, and once a battle breaks out, it will attract swarms of desperate creatures.

Seeing the shells getting bigger and bigger, Jian Rui is still ready to move sideways even though he feels sad.

Nothing is as important as your life, right?

Just as he was about to leave, Brother Sisi suddenly fished out a small piece of metal from the mud on the bottom of the sea.

Although it was smaller than a fingernail, it gave Jian Rui a familiar feeling.

So with a thought, he brought Brother Sisi back to the company.

Taking a look at the metal plate, Jian Rui suddenly remembered.

Isn't this a "passport"?

On the day of officially becoming an awakened person, the Awakened Persons Association will implant such a metal plate in everyone's body, which contains an energy imprint, so as to judge the identity of the awakened person.

The piece that belonged to him is now in his arm.

Each metal piece represents an awakened person, which is also equivalent to an ID card.

The energy in the metal piece in front of him has long been dissipated, but Jian Rui remembers that there are names on the metal piece.

So he scrubbed the mud clean, and sure enough, he saw two clear Chinese characters.

Li Mei.

A very common name, it should be a former employee of Tianqin Group, or a woman.

He tried his best to recall that he had been to this desperate situation in Africa last time, but there was no such person.

Then this Li Mei should have died in a desperate situation before.

But according to the previous conditions, the distance to the entrance to the desperate situation was at least [-] to [-] kilometers each time. How did she travel such a long distance?

Or was she swallowed by the Impassable Beast and brought here?
It may be difficult to find an answer to this question.

He put the metal piece away.

The employees who died in the desperate situation basically couldn't find their bodies. Now that they can bring this piece of metal back, it can be regarded as a kind of comfort to her family.

Back at the bottom of the sea, Jian Rui took Sisi and the others to fish for shells for a few days, and finally got together 1 practice beads.

Counting the time, 12 days have passed.

Mr. Fan is still waiting for him to go back at the base, and come back later for the rest.

So he returned to the coast from the bottom of the sea and found Zhou Xinyao who was practicing hard in the dark.

"Captain, I'm about to level up again!"

Not seen for more than ten days, Zhou Xinyao is faintly close to a 5-star level, and with her innate skills, it is equivalent to a 7-star combat power level.

I have to say that this girl is the girl with the best cultivation talent that Jian Rui has ever seen.

Even Chi Yu can't compare to her.

"Congratulations." Jian Rui changed his wet clothes, and then took out the Impossible Stove, "Let's have something to eat, and then hurry back."

"Okay."

Under Zhou Xinyao's skilful preparation, a fairly sumptuous dinner was quickly completed.

While eating, Jian Rui suddenly remembered the piece of metal he picked up at the bottom of the sea.

"Xin Yao, is the metal piece in your arm still there?"

"Yes," Zhou Xinyao said, "Isn't this thing useless now?"

It's still useful, Jian Rui thought to himself, at least people can identify you after you die.

However, he would not say such dejected words. Instead, he said: "A few days ago, I picked up a piece of metal in the sea. It is an employee of Tianqin Group. It may have been dead for many years."

"Really?" Zhou Xinyao hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's so pitiful, can I have a look?"

Jian Rui handed the metal piece to her, but when Zhou Xinyao saw the name on the metal piece, it was like a lightning strike.

In a pair of beautiful big eyes, tears rolled down like jade beads with broken strings, sobbing uncontrollably.

Jian Rui suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"She's me...my mother..."

Jian Rui was also stunned, isn't this too coincidental?
But he suddenly came back to his senses. Although it was a bit of a coincidence, it was not completely without warning.

Zhou Xinyao's parents left her a relic, which is a big practice pearl!

Where did the cultivation beads come from? Anyway, as far as he knows now, this thing can only be produced in the sea.

So it is very possible that Zhou Xinyao's parents were killed while exploring the seabed!

It's just that this matter was either concealed by Tianqin Group, or even Tianqin Group didn't know about it.

Because the previous desperate explorations were basically based on small groups, if the small groups were completely wiped out, no one would know what happened to them.

Despite having previous life experience, Jian Rui didn't know how to comfort him when he suddenly encountered such a thing.

Feeling that at this moment, no matter how much it is said, it is futile, so I can only take out a tissue and gently wipe away the tears on Zhou Xinyao's face.

Zhou Xinyao buried her head in his chest, trembling slightly.

After crying for a while, Zhou Xinyao finally calmed down, holding her mother's metal plate tightly in her hand with red eye circles.

"Captain, I want to ask you for some time off."

"What are you going to do?"

"Since I found my mother's ID card, I think she died nearby," Zhou Xinyao said. "Although it's a bit unlikely, I still want to find her and my father's remains."

"this is necessary."

All goodness and filial piety come first, and any child who encounters this kind of situation will probably do the same.

So Jian Rui will not object.

And he was also very concerned about how Zhou Xinyao's mother's ID card got here.

"But the sea is very dangerous, you are not suitable for entering the water, let me help you with this matter."

Zhou Xinyao nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you Captain."

"Let's go back and make some preparations," Jian Rui said, "And we need to ask Li Tianqin something, so that we can narrow down the scope of our search."

The two of them didn't care about continuing to eat, and flew back to the base while driving the double-headed eagle.

After leaving for half a month, the production situation in the workshop is still in order.

All the flying vehicles were put into use a few days ago. With this big guy, Tianqin employees can transport tens of thousands of tons of ore to the base every day.

Because Jian Rui and Zhou Xinyao were not there, a lot of ore was piled up in the open space outside the base, like a hill.

Jian Rui arranged for Li Ideal to receive the ore, lead the tribe to smelt it, and be responsible for simple trading work.

The equipment Mr. Fan needed was also produced, and after Jian Rui sent him away, Li Tianqin hurried back to the desperate situation.

Seeing the more than 1 practice beads that Jian Rui took out, Li Tianqin's eyes began to light up.

"With these things, after the new year, we can add at least 5 newcomers!" Li Tianqin's tone was faintly excited, and he almost opened the red wine and took a sip to get himself drunk. "Jian Rui, how can I thank you?" you?"

"There's no need to thank you, just settle the bill early," Jian Rui said with a smile, "I also sacrificed my life for this, I really won't lie to you."

"It may be unrealistic to settle the situation," Li Tianqin said with a smile, "Do you think there will be 5 new people added next year, how much equipment will they need? Where do we have so much energy?"

Jian Rui: ...You are so reasonable, I can't even refute it!
"And I can predict," Li Tianqin said, "by next summer at the latest, we can add at least 50 new recruits!"

Jian Rui's eyes almost popped out.

50, how come there are so many?
Li Tianqin said: "I also hope that you can deliver the imperilable stove and imperilable lighter."

Jian Rui frowned, what does this have to do with the Impossible Stove and the Extremis lighter?
A possibility suddenly occurred to him.

"Mr. Li, are you going to use these desperate stoves and lighters for the army?"

"That's right," Li Tianqin said, "I don't have to hide it from you. Our laboratory research has found that people who are often exposed to desperate energy, especially young people between the ages of 15 and 25, have an 80% chance of breaking through. 0.001%.

"Coupled with the fact that we now have a large number of cultivation beads, the probability of these people becoming awakened ones is at least 60!"

"In other words, it may be the awakening of the whole people in the future?"

"Yes, the army first, and then ordinary people, and it won't be too long," Li Tianqin said, "So Jian Rui, should you prepare to expand the production workshop?"

Jian Rui smiled and said nothing.

If that were the case, it would definitely not be his turn to produce ordinary desperate products in the future, and he would have to take the high-end route.

For the high-end route, why do you need such a large workshop?
But at least within the next year, he will still make a lot of money. It is still necessary to expand the workshop and strength appropriately.

It seems that after Zhou Xinyao's matter is resolved this time, he will also find a way to consider this aspect.

"By the way, Mr. Li." After discussing business matters, Jian Rui immediately changed the subject, "Zhou Xinyao asked me to ask about her parents.

"You know that there is only one desperate situation now, and she hopes to find the remains of her parents.

"So I want to ask, in which desperate situation did her parents have an accident?"

After pondering for a moment, Li Tianqin took out a heavy folder from the bookshelf, rummaged through a few pages, and pulled out two documents.

"This is the information of her parents," Li Tianqin said, "They disappeared 5 years ago, in a desperate situation in China."

Five years ago, Zhou Xinyao was still in junior high school.

What a poor kid.

"They are all very early awakeners," Li Tianqin continued, "their level was not low at that time, they were all 4-star, and they were very important employees of our company.

"But in that desperate situation, their team disappeared collectively, which became a huge loss for Tianqin.

"Actually, I have been sending people recently to try to find the remains of the sacrificed team members, but you know that the desperate situation is too great, and this matter is not easy."

"I know, and I will try to persuade her." Jian Rui concealed the matter of the metal plate, and said, "By the way, can you give me a copy of all the entrances to desperate situations in the past? If I can find out the pattern, I will It would be very helpful to us.”

"Okay," Li Tianqin took out some more documents, and finally said, "If you need anything, or if you find anything, you can come to me."
