After the fog, I became a birdman

Deputy Commander Zhou hurried to the trading area, saw Su Qing standing in front of the shrimp stall, subconsciously straightened his collar, straightened the hair on the animal skin clothes, and made a gesture of shopping, casually strolling nearby visit.

Seeing his figure, Liu Xingjie nodded slightly to the shrimp seller.

The boss, who was still clumsily catching shrimps just now, suddenly and sharply held down the shrimps jumping around on the bamboo raft, tied the hard claws of the river shrimps with straw ropes, and did not even raise his eyebrows when he was whipped twice by the shrimp's whiskers.

"Guest, you have ten shrimps and ten crabs each." The boss smiled and handed over a bunch of shrimps and crabs, "Shrimps and crabs are the same price, two are a first-class animal pill, please count."

Su Qing paid the money, turned around and saw Deputy Commander Zhou coming from the side stall with a piece of meat, nodded slightly at him as a greeting, and was about to leave.

"Mr. Su, long time no see, are you here to buy vegetables?" Deputy Commander Zhou walked over quickly and greeted him familiarly.

"Well, I'm bored at home, come and have a look." Su Qing stopped and glanced at the black pork in his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Didn't Vice President Zhou eat in the cafeteria? Why did you come out to buy vegetables by yourself?"

"Oh, this." Deputy Commander Zhou shook his head with a smile, and said helplessly, "Recently, the stagnant water has not receded, and my family said that I always eat a dish that is a bit boring. It just so happens that I am free today, so I will go out and buy something for the family. Extra meal."

"Vice Tong Zhou is really Gu's family." Su Qing pursed her lips and smiled, her tone was still as alienated as before, "I have something to do at home, so I can't stay longer, so I'll go back first."

After speaking, he turned and prepared to leave.

Liu Xingjie looked nervously at Deputy Commander Zhou, who nodded slightly at him, and then Liu Xingjie hurriedly said: "Vice Commander Zhou, Mr. Su talked to me about doing business with other bases."

Vice President Zhou seemed to have just learned about it: "Oh? Then Mr. Su, we need to have a good chat about this matter."

Afraid that Su Qing would run away, he stretched out his hand to grab the person, because he knew that Su Qing didn't like physical contact, so he only grabbed Su Qing's sleeve to prevent them from flying away.

"Mr. Su, we can't leave our Hope Base behind in terms of commerce. Mr. Qi said before that the goods could not be delivered, but now we can do commerce. You can't hide it from us."

Su Qing opened his mouth, frowned slightly and brushed off Deputy Commander Zhou's hand: "Qi Jiang is in charge of business matters, you can talk to him next time he comes over."

How long has it been since Qi Jiang came to Hope Base?Let's talk again when he comes, the day lily is cold.

Deputy Commander Zhou dragged Su Qing to the inner city involuntarily, and looked at Su Qing with dishonest eyes: "Mr. Su, that's not what you said. Mr. Qi has always respected your opinions, and business matters can always be treated like that." You are the one who decides, when did Mr. Qi become the one who decides?"

Su Qing glanced at him with a half-smile, brushed off his hands on his sleeves, and shook the bunch of shrimps and crabs in his hands: "Then you can make a long story short, don't waste the freshwater fish I just bought."

"That's natural."

The three of them soon came to the office of Vice President Zhou in the inner city. The latter casually put the pork on the table, and then poured Su Qing a cup of tea: "Mr. Su, what is the trade that Xingjie said just now?" ?”

Su Qing turned the teacup in his hand: "Is your base interested?"

Vice President Zhou nodded affirmatively: "It is naturally interesting to be able to communicate with other bases."

"But..." Su Qing seemed a bit embarrassed.

"What worries does Mr. Su have?"

"You also know that someone above me and Qijiang are in charge, and the technology and products of the trade must be approved by the above." Su Qing shook his head and chuckled, "We have recently received a task to open up business between several bases. Lu, as for your base..."

Deputy Commander Zhou thought a lot in his mind. He thought that Su Qing wanted benefits, but he and Qi Jiang's personalities were not this kind of people, but they didn't want benefits, so why hesitated to speak?

"Mr. Su, is there any condition in our base that cannot carry out trade?" Deputy Commander Zhou asked tentatively, "I think we hope that the conditions of the base are very good. There are enough resources in the jungle, and the residents are strong. There are many groups, and economically, our base is not weak."

Su Qing turned the teacup again, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Vice President Zhou, whether the commercial route can be opened depends on the geographical location. At present, we haven't found any large bases nearby, and the other bases are far away, so we hope that the bases here The trade, the above is to prepare for the next batch before consideration.”

Deputy Commander Zhou's eyes flashed: "There is no large base, what about small bases?"

Su Qing was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, with a puzzled expression: "You want to do business with small bases? The small ones near you...that's a problem."

Deputy Commander Zhou didn't care about this, as long as he could find another base, everything would be fine.

Seeing that Deputy Commander Zhou really wanted to do business, Su Qing probably told him about the situation in the island town, because it was just discovered, and Su Qing's words here are not very recommended to hope that the base will take over this trouble.

However, Deputy Commander Zhou knew that there were only about 2 people there, so he had no worries at all. He went out and used the Communication Jade Talisman to discuss with Commander Geng and the others, and then he decided on the idea of ​​contacting that island town.

Seeing this, Su Qing was "difficult" to communicate with Qi Jiang on the phone for a while, and half an hour later, Qi Jiang "asked for instructions" and gave Su Qing an affirmative answer.

Deputy Commander Zhou was a little excited to be able to do business and communicate with other bases. He heard Su Qing say that he wanted to find a place to set up some kind of teleportation array, so he subconsciously chose the central square of the base.

However, in Su Qing and Qi Jiang's plan, the teleportation array will be opened to the monster clan and grass and tree clan in the future, so he does not suggest that the base should arrange the teleportation array in the base.

Hearing this, Deputy Commander Zhou calmed down, and finally chose a valley ten kilometers away from the territory. The distance from there to the Hope Base is close enough, and there are no powerful monsters or plants along the way. Even if it is used right now, there is no need to worry. There will be problems, and it will be more convenient when we hope that the base will clear up the dangers along the way.

After confirming the location, Su Qing cleared the field and set up the array in the valley by himself.

Ten minutes later, the teleportation altar was successfully arranged, the space anchor points on both sides responded to each other, and the corresponding space channel was successfully opened.

On the side of the valley, the accumulated water above the altar was pushed to the side, and all the water flow bypassed the location of the altar, but if you look down from the top, you can't see the appearance of the altar.

This is because the master control has not opened the authority, so the altar has not been activated, so even if the space channel has been opened, the corresponding portal will be dragged into the space barrier by the master control and hidden, naturally it cannot be seen .

If it is not authorized by the master control, the teleportation altar is just a waste product. This is the way Su Qing and the others control all the subordinate teleportation arrays.

After finishing the altar, Su Qing snapped his fingers and arranged a simple soundproof formation around him, and took out his phone to communicate with Qi Jiang.

"Hey, Brother Jiang, the formation on my side is done, how is your side?"

"The people on the shore have calmed down and are waiting for a reply from Hope Base." Qi Jiang leaned on the deck, "I told them that our people are communicating with other bases, so let them wait."

Su Qing nodded lightly, and then told Qi Jiang the specific situation on his side.

"You wait for a long time and leave them alone." Qi Jiang told Su Qing not to worry, "Don't hurry up, I hope the base will also select people to come over, don't give people a feeling that you are in a hurry, lest others notice Something is wrong."

Su Qing nodded again and again: "Then I'll come to you first, and come back in the afternoon?"

"Don't be in a hurry to notify me, just say that I need to apply for trade permission first, and then the technical department can help open up trade routes after the application is approved. You can decide the time of application, but don't give someone the time to actually get through. Fixed number."

"Row."

Su Qing hung up the phone and flew out of the valley. Deputy Commander Zhou, Liu Xingjie, Commander Geng, and some patrols and combat teams who had followed Su Qing were all waiting outside the valley with their boats.

Commander Geng was a little surprised because Su Qing came out so quickly: "Mr. Su, is this done?"

"Of course not." Su Qing glanced at Commander Geng with the look that you think too much, "I just locked the coordinates here, and now I have to wait for Qijiang to apply for trade permission and the application is approved before I can Ask the technical department to help open up business routes."

This is the normal speed in everyone's imagination. Everyone nodded and didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

"How long does it take to apply?" Commander Geng continued to ask.

"I don't know for sure. If it's slow, it will take two or three hours, and if it's fast, it will take half a day." Su Qing looked up at the rainy sky, "It's almost ten o'clock now, and I can't make it in time before get off work. I have to get off work for lunch at noon over there. , it should be in the afternoon."

"When will the technical department usually start to open up business routes?" Commander Geng continued to ask.

"That's not sure." Su Qing laughed suddenly, with a hint of sarcasm, "The technical department is the base's treasure, how dare we ask about their affairs."

It sounds like Su Qing's base is quite complicated.

Commander Geng and Deputy Commander Zhou glanced at each other, and their impression of Su Qing's unknown base deepened in their hearts.

"Okay, I won't be in charge of the next thing, I will notify you when it's done, keep in touch." Su Qing left a communication jade talisman, and flew away with the shrimp and crab.

After he left, Geng led them to row people into the valley and found the location of the teleportation altar.

When they looked down, they could only see the wet ground, and found nothing else.

"I don't know how to get through this business route." Commander Geng sighed slightly.

"Mr. Qi and Mr. Su's base should know a lot about the new world." Deputy Commander Zhou carefully observed the ground that kept the accumulated water out, "This kind of technology should be similar to the rainbow phenomenon in the sky before." Relationship."

"Qi and Su's status doesn't sound too high, so the Jindan cultivator may be in their base." Commander Geng nodded in agreement, "However, it may not be easy to get in touch with that base."

"I don't know what kind of origin that base is." Deputy Commander Zhou feels that the base's behavior style does not seem to be from cities of all levels.

"After a long time, we can always know their true colors. Let's use the trade routes to contact other cities first." Commander Geng turned to look at Li Wei in the combat department, "Xiao Li, you take someone to guard here first. "

Li Wei replied in a deep voice: "Yes!"

Commander Geng and Deputy Commander Zhou returned to the base to discuss the management of trade routes and teleportation formations in the future. Although Su Qing said that there were only 2 people on the island, they did not relax their vigilance and decided to send some people to investigate the situation first. Notify the hunting party and other residents.

On the other side, Su Qing returned to the flying boat, and found that the residents of the small town on the shore really calmed down as Qi Jiang said, and did not make any radical moves.

Few families went fishing today, and most of them returned home to discuss matters related to the Hope Base.

Because they don't know what the outside world and Hope Base are like, most families decide to wait and see, only a small number of families maintain an optimistic and curious attitude.

Su Qing didn't give Hope Base a definite time for the opening of trade routes, and Qi Jiang's reply to the town was about three to five days, and didn't give a too short time.

In fact, if it wasn't for the fear that staying here for too long would affect their development, Qi Jiang would even dare to say that it would take one to two months or even longer. After all, the two places are so far apart, a few months is normal.

At noon, Su Qing was processing the shrimps and crabs he brought back.

This is a kind of non-spiritual and intelligent monster. It weighs three to five catties. The pliers are enough to easily pinch off hard stones.

But in terms of energy, the energy of this kind of monster is only a quarter of that of a monster with the same attribute and level of intelligence, and the utilization rate of the beast pill is also the same.

Just like plants are divided into two categories: intelligent and non-intelligent, there are corresponding classifications among monsters.

Among the plants, Fan Zhi without intelligence accounts for the vast majority, and among animals, monsters without intelligence also account for the vast majority. The former Fan Zhi, Yi Zhi and Ling Zhi are born and developed together, and the latter are monsters with intelligence. The beast was born a year earlier, until the appearance of the plants, some animals that were also monsters, whose strength grew as fast as the plants but had no intelligence, suddenly bloomed everywhere.

At that time, everyone's attention was focused on the plants, and the spiritless monsters were not as conspicuous as plants, so they were ignored by everyone.

Even if the Hope Base discovered this kind of animals early, and would hunt them back to eat, they didn't realize that these animals had no intelligence.

It wasn't until the territorial battle that the three races of humans, animals and plants discovered that there were some monsters who stayed out of it and couldn't communicate at all.

Because of the appearance of non-sentient animals and plants, the recipes of the three tribes were increased, and after everyone changed their diets to eat non-sentient prey, the relationship between them was eased.

According to the previous classification in the practice world, no matter whether they have spiritual intelligence or not, monsters belong to the monster clan. Monster beasts with spiritual intelligence are called sky monsters or monster beasts in the monster clan, while monsters without spiritual intelligence are called alien beasts.

Speaking of this, Su Qing also thought that the sea clan also has sea beasts, sea monsters, and strange beasts.

The strange beasts correspond to the strange beasts in the monster clan, and the sea beasts correspond to the sky monsters in the monster clan.

Last year, the classification of various races was still somewhat different from that of the practice world. After the plants were born this year, according to what they have learned from Maomiao Continent, the classification of each race is almost the same as the previous practice world.

Su Qing has seen mortal plants, different plants, and spiritual plants of plants, and he has also seen monsters and strange beasts in land and aquatic animals. He has also seen sea beasts and strange beasts in the sea clan. The demon has never seen it.

The sea monster is a very mysterious creature. There is a record of the sea monster in the inheritance of the Su family. It is said that there are many kinds of sea monsters, and most of them like to stay in the deep sea. When the weather at sea is bad, some sea monsters will leave the deep sea to attack passing ships.

They are at sea now, and Su Qing is quite looking forward to the sea monster race.

"Brother Jiang, you said that we have spent a lot of time in the sea, why haven't we encountered a sea monster?"

"Isn't it a peaceful day?" Qi Jiang turned his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"But we came out to practice, isn't it just to see the customs of various places and increase our experience?"

Qi Jiang nodded lightly: "That's right, but when we came out of Pingnan Island, we didn't meet a creature for a long time. No matter what, sea monsters are intelligent creatures. The current number should not be too high. There will be too many, and it’s normal to not meet them.”

Su Qing looked at the sea in the distance, expecting: "I hope I can meet it once before going to the next land."

He didn't want to kill the siren either, he just wanted to see it with his own eyes.

I ate a shrimp and crab feast at noon, and there seemed to be a lot of things, and it took less than half an hour for the two of them to get it done.

In the afternoon, the old man from the small town came to ask Qi Jiang some questions, and Qi Jiang answered them all. After a few minutes, the old man left satisfied.

Su Qing is quite envious of Qi Jiang's ability to communicate. It seems that no matter who he faces, he can handle the relationship with each other with ease. The only difference is whether he is willing or not.

In the past year, many emergencies have been handled by Qi Jiang, and the only thing Su Qing can do is to help him a little.

For example, this time the residents of the small town suddenly lost control. If Su Qing was to deal with him, he would definitely not be able to handle it well. All he could do was hold back temporarily and listen to Qi Jiang's advice to communicate with Hope Base about the teleportation array.

Qi Jiang turned his head and saw Su Qing's thoughtful look, he smiled curiously: "What's the matter? What are you thinking?"

Su Qing regained consciousness, walked to the sofa and sat down: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking, our business will grow bigger and bigger in the future, should I learn more communication skills from you."

Speaking of this, he felt ashamed. He didn't have much contact with people since he was a child. He used to be afraid that his mood swings would be bad for his health.

Qi Jiang probably knew what he was thinking, but he felt that Su Qing was in such a good state: "You don't need to change yourself. If I had a choice in the past, I also hope that I can live a simpler life."

Su Qing was taken aback for a moment: "Speaking of which, you seldom tell me about family affairs, your family..."

"I didn't have a home before." Qi Jiang's voice suddenly turned cold several degrees, and when he sat next to Su Qing, his voice became gentle again, "My home is here with you."

Su Qing bent her lips and smiled, leaning on Qi Jiang, her smile deepened.

In the evening, Su Qing went to the base to inform him that the trade application had been approved.

Three days later, Su Qing activated the teleportation formation on the Hope Base by remote control in the flying boat, and Qi Jiang also specially went to the bank to take people from the town to the wilderness to see the teleportation formation.

The teleportation altar looked like a round platform with a radius of three meters from the outside, but when inside it was a circular square with a radius of 300 meters, enough to accommodate many people and goods.

A few days ago, he said excitedly that he wanted to leave the island, but today he really had the opportunity to leave, and the residents of the town began to hesitate again, and even speculated about various bad things.

Some suspected that this formation would not be able to send them to the Hope Base, some suspected that they would not be able to return after going there, and some suspected that the island was not far from the land, but Qi Jiang wanted to cheat their energy stones. Many different skepticisms.

The method was also taught to them, and the teleportation formation was also set up. Qi Jiang didn't care what they were doubting at all, and introduced other costs besides human teleportation at his own pace.

"Under the condition that the activation fee remains the same, the fee for purely human transmission is the same as what I said yesterday. According to the head, ten catties of spirit stones per person, and a maximum of 100 people can be transmitted at a time."

Afraid that some people didn't hear clearly yesterday, Qi Jiang first repeated what he said yesterday, and then added.

"If it is to send other things, such as monsters, living fish and shrimps, etc., the intelligent ones will be charged according to the human transmission fee standard, and the number of transmissions is the same as that of humans. There is no upper limit for teleportation, as long as the teleportation array can fit in it, it can be teleported there, and inanimate objects are in accordance with the standard of insensibility and life."

After finishing speaking, Qi Jiang gave everyone an example, and told everyone that if you can’t remember to check the various rules and standards on the side of the teleportation array, and also suggested that you can come here occasionally when you are free, so as not to have any new news Post they don't know.

Everyone was still hesitant to try it, Qi Jiang also understood their feelings, and didn't urge them to try teleportation quickly.

He has been on the island for a week since he landed on the island, and now it's May, Qi Jiang doesn't want to stay any longer.

He was too lazy to argue with everyone, and said goodbye to everyone directly: "We still have something to do on board, so we won't bother you any more."

The acting mayor's grandfather who was still hesitating hurriedly called him: "Hey, Mr. Qi, when will the person from the base you hope to come over?"

"I don't know. We are just a caravan and cannot interfere with the decisions of other bases. They will come when they feel the time is right."

"Mr. Qi, do you think there is anything valuable in our small town that can be exchanged for supplies?"

"I don't know." Qi Jiang still shook his head, and said calmly, "As before, fresh water is very cheap in some places, but it may be more precious than gold in arid areas. I don't know the situation on your island. I don’t know, and I don’t know much about the Hope Base, so you should be the ones who know the most about what materials can be exchanged between you.”

Qi Jiang still had the same attitude, he didn't interfere with the communication between the two bases, after all, there were only two of them, and they couldn't manage it at all.

This is the rule set by him and Su Qing. They are only responsible for providing the teleportation array and getting a certain reward from it.

That being the case, it is better to set a rule from the beginning and ignore it directly.

The acting mayor pestered Qi Jiang to ask a lot of questions, and as long as it involved trade, Qi Jiang would usually answer it carefully.

There are two flowers on each table.

I hope that the base will receive the information reported by Li Wei after being notified by Su Qing: a white jade round platform suddenly appeared in the stagnant water.

Commander Geng, along with the other eight commanders and deputy commanders, took people to see it. It was indeed a white jade round platform. According to Su Qing's notice, this white jade round platform is called the teleportation altar. As long as you put enough spirit stones on it, you can enter the altar. In the transmission space inside the station, according to the distance between the two transmission arrays, the transmission time is also different.

The start-up fee of one hundred catties of spirit stones plus the transmission fee of ten catties per person is not too expensive for Hope Base. It is not the first time that everyone and Qi Suqing have cooperated with each other, and we still trust their character.

At least judging from the fact that Su Qing came to help when the alien plant attacked the base before, he would not harm anyone.

Out of trust, Commander Geng sailed to the front of the teleportation array, took out the spirit stone, and looked at the subordinates behind him: "Who wants to try?"

Liu Xingjie's eyes lit up, and he was the first to stand up: "Me!"

Several commanders smiled, with admiration in their eyes, and nodded directly for Liu Xingjie to come on.

Liu Xingjie adjusted the animal skin coat on his body, touched the short gun on his back, and with a kind of curiosity, he came to the front boat with the spirit stone, and then jumped onto the altar.

The spirit stone in his arms hadn't been placed on the altar yet, even if someone jumped on it, the altar didn't change in any way.

Commander Geng wrote down this point, and nodded slightly to Liu Xingjie: "Release the Lingshi."

Liu Xingjie put down the spirit stone according to the instructions. He first put down a hundred catties. There was a flash of light on the altar, a line of words appeared on the white floor, and at the same time, a very mechanical, indistinguishable voice sounded: "Hope Base The teleportation array has enough energy to activate, and the number of life fluctuations in the altar is checked to be one, and ten catties of spirit stones are required."

"I didn't expect it to be so intelligent." Commander Geng sighed.

Liu Xingjie tried to talk to the system, but didn't get any reply, and then he was instructed to put the last ten catties of spirit stones on the altar.

A mechanical voice sounded: "Enough transmission energy, start transmission."

The altar lit up with a soft white light, and Liu Xingjie disappeared in place. In less than three seconds, the white light disappeared.
