Chapter 223: Cooperation Agreement
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Following the miners back to their village, they were unexpectedly given a warm reception by the Russian Gorillas.
In order to make the Russian Gorillas submit to them, the Spirit Dragon no longer hid its body but kept its Dragon form floating in the air.
When they were in the village just now, they saw a group of Russian Gorillas wors.h.i.+ping them.
They were still mumbling. It seemed that the Dragon totem was not groundless.
Even the Great Elder of the Russian Gorillas could not help but kneel on the ground when he saw the spiritual dragon. Judging from its crutches, it was not young anymore.
“Human, what business do you have with our tribe?”
The mining Russian Gorillas whispered a few words into the Great Elder’s ear. Then, the great elder looked at codename seven with a complicated expression.
“You killed more than 20 of our members. Even for the sake of the Dragon G.o.d, we can’t let you off so easily.”
The Russian Gorilla Elder’s tone was serious. Beside him stood four guards who were bigger and stronger than ordinary Russian Gorillas.
Their eyes were fierce. They were prepared to cut the human in front of them into pieces with just a command from the Elder.
However, the Elder of the Russian Gorillas bared his fangs and finally said, “Let’s talk about the purpose of your visit first.”
Mcgee walked over and counted the number of Russian Gorillas along the way. There were at least 1,500 of them. Even though its Little Spirit Fox and Spirit Dragon were powerful…
It was impossible for them to kill their way out of the Russian Gorillas tribe unscathed.
Codename 7 and her Demon Fox also had the same result.
“I hope to enter into a trade relations.h.i.+p with you.” Mcgee took a deep breath. The steel ore could not only be used to strengthen the Imperial Dragon Armor.
With its toughness, it could be used to strengthen the city walls and build high-level turrets.
When Mcgee proposed to trade with them for the Ohamli steel ore, Codename 7 added, “Star iron too.”
The Great Elder hesitated for a moment and said, “You attacked my race several times just for these ores?”
Codename 7 pretended not to hear it, while Mcgee explained, “I never attacked you.”
“Ohamli steel ores are just like your human needs for meat to us.”
“It can supplement the nutrients we need, but it is not a necessity.”
“We can take out the ore to trade with you, but what can you take out as a trade item?”
“Food?”
“No need, we have plenty of food.”
“Wolf fang?”
“What’s the use of that thing, change it to another one…”
Mcgee counted all the inventory in the warehouse. The rare resources had long been used to strengthen himself and build his home.
“Level one energy stone.”
This was the first item Mcgee had.
“You have energy stones?”
The Elder’s heart was finally moved.
“Yes.”
Level two energy stones were a rare item for the Mcgee Alliance, but level one energy stones were produced continuously through the hydropower plant.
“100 level one energy stones for one Ohamli steel ore,” the first Elder said.
“50!” Although they could ma.s.s-produce grade-1 energy stones, the production was still limited. Mcgee still needed energy stones to provide upgrade materials to the members of the Alliance.
“No,” the first Elder said, “at least 80. Every time we go into the mines, we risk our lives.”
“50.”
…
“What are they doing?” The Demon Fox had recovered a lot from her injuries. She asked code seven in a low voice.
“Bargaining,” Codename 7 replied. “There’s another way of s.n.a.t.c.hing other than directly s.n.a.t.c.hing.”
…
In the end, Mcgee reached a cooperation agreement with the Russian Gorilla tribe at the price of 60 grade-1 energy stones in exchange for one Ohamli steel ore.
“I need 90 Ohamli steel ores. How soon can you gather them for me?”
Since they had found the core materials, Mcgee did not want to waste time.
“We only have 50 in stock. If we can dig into the depths of the mine, we might be able to gather them in a week.”
“However, if we can reopen the outer mine, we will be able to gather them in three days.”
Mcgee quickly gathered 3,000 level 1 energy stones through the system and gave them to the Russian Gorilla as a deposit.
“Alright, then you can reopen the outer mine.”
“Are you an idiot?” Codename 7 said, “Don’t you understand what it means? It wants us to help it get rid of the wandering alloy behemoths.”
The Russian Gorilla Elder nodded. The Alloy Behemoths had always been a huge threat to them.
The Alloy Behemoths were the same as them. They were a race that fed on ores, but the alloy behemoths had a huge appet.i.te.
They occupied the largest mine on the ore island. Moreover, they did not mine ores at all. Instead, they directly absorbed the ore veins.
The Russian Gorillas had once organized a few teams to destroy the Giant Alloy Beast. There was a huge difference in strength, and in the end, they ended up dying.
Actually, the Great Elder did not expect Mcgee to defeat the Giant Alloy Beast. What he really hoped for was that as the Dragon’s servant, Mcgee could ask the Divine Dragon to help him defeat the Giant Alloy Beast.
“Nature is really cruel.”
“Anyway, it’s just a few days. You’re not in a hurry.”
“No, I want to accept this mission,” said Mcgee.
Codename 7 was slightly stunned, and then his tone was cold. “As you wish. I won’t help you.”
Time waited for no man.
Moreover, Mcgee also wanted to test the true strength of the Spirit Dragon.
“Great.” A trace of a profiteer’s smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of the Russian Gorilla Elder.
The ore was very important to them, but it was even more important for them to explore new ore sources.
This time, they could take advantage of the presence of the Dragon G.o.d and its servants to solve this crisis once and for all.
Mcgee came to the square. The Spirit Dragon closed its eyes to rest impatiently. From time to time, the Russian Gorilla would come over and make a wish on it, then drop a few ores and leave.
It seemed that the ores were one of their currency, and they were used to wors.h.i.+p the Dragon G.o.d.
“Wake up.”
In the eyes of the Russian Gorilla, Mcgee’s figure was extremely small, as if he was an underage child.
However, his strength was not small. He skillfully pa.s.sed through the crowd and came to the front of the Spirit Dragon, and even pulled its tail.
When the Russian Gorilla saw such a disrespectful scene, it wanted to step forward to stop and beat up the human who had blasphemed the Dragon G.o.d.
However, the Spirit Dragon showed an affectionate expression.
“You’re finally back. It’s too boring to wait.” The Spirit Dragon wagged its tail and said, “I feel like a busker. The ores on the ground were all thrown to me by the Gorillas.”
Codename 7 glanced at the ores on the ground, and her eyes lit up.
She hurriedly picked up a few ores that were flas.h.i.+ng with yellow light, and her tone was filled with surprise. “The star iron has been used as a tribute. They’re really rich.”
“If you like it, then take it. It should be for me,” said the Spirit Dragon disdainfully. It was different from these guys who ate stones.
“But you have to exchange the meat with me.”
“Easy,” Codename 7 said casually.. Hunting was as easy for a.s.sa.s.sins as breathing.
