Inside the energy stone quarry, Cheng JinXue was completely dumbfounded.
He and Zhang Feng had taken the elite little squad out on the usual patrol, the same as the previous few days.
The battleship Wyvern has already stopped at the abandoned trash planet B-324 for 5 days. In the last 5 days, they headed outside to scout around everyday.
One reason was to figure out just how badly contaminated this planet was from the energy radiation. The second reason was to find other humans that had been left behind here.
After five days, they didn't find anything.
This was their last patrol trip. If the result of this patrol was still the same, the battleship Wyvern would leave planet B-324.
The same as before, the elite little squad left the spaceport and went to their temporary rendezvous area first. Then the elite little squad would separate into different teams and head off to inspect in different directions.
The rendezvous area was about 5km from the spaceport. It was a place where a small pile of trash had gathered.
The reason why this area was designated as the rendezvous area was because this pile of trash was waste from energy sources. The energy radiation emitted here was relatively large. They only needed to use the indicator from their computer system to find the place with the strongest energy radiation to find the rendezvous area. It was very easy to identify.
Everything progressed the same as the last few days. After Cheng JinXue dispatched all of the elite little teams, he headed off in a direction that he had already inspected a few days ago.
Then who knew what happened, as he walked and walked, he suddenly fell and hit his head on a very hard rock or garbage of some kind. Head spinning and vision blurring from the impact, he forcefully gave that thing a push.
Immediately after pushing, he felt his body descend rapidly. He fell about 50 meters downwards, directly breaking his leg.
Good thing his body constitution was A+ or else it wouldn't be as simple as just breaking a leg.
When he looked up, Cheng JinXue became stupefied.
Surrounding him in all directions were shiny crystal-like energy ores!
He dropped into a quarry of energy ores!
His protective suit started emitting an ear-piercing 'di di di' sound for warning, indicating that this cave has severely exceeded the normal limits of energy radiation. It was a level that was higher than the radiation outside by 60%!
His protective suit can only last about half an hour at most before the radiation penetrates through it.
"This is the status of my situation." Cheng JinXue said a helpless expression, his voice sounding a bit stuffy coming through his protective suit: "Boss, I can only withstand this for half an hour at most."
After briefly explaining what happened, Cheng JinXue collapsed weakly to the ground.
The depth of the quarry itself was actually not only just 50 meters deep. He was lucky and fell onto a platform around 50 meters in.
There's probably a dozen more meters downwards.
"En." Wen XiaoYun acknowledged: "Maintain communications."
Cheng JinXue replied feebly: "I got it, I got it."
Cheng JinXue just finished speaking when he heard a soft spoken and very pleasant sounding voice coming from the other side.
Zhuang Zhou: "Huh? He broke his leg?"
Wen XiaoYun said: "Yes."
Zhuang Zhou said: "I know. It must be because he wasn't completely sincere when he paid respect."
Wen XiaoYun: "...… perhaps."
Cheng JinXue: "??????"
Zhuang Zhou said: "When worshipping a God, you must hold a completely devoted heart while making your wish. God will complete your heart's desire this way. If your heart is not sincere, it would depend on the God's mood. If they're in a good mood, they will complete your wish. If they're in a bad mood, they might punish you a little for your insincerity while they complete your wish."
Wen XiaoYun: "So it's like this."
Cheng JinXue: "...………………….."
No way. Boss, how can you accept this kind of superstitious and slightly foolish speech so favorably?
Zhuang Zhou said: "It's exactly like this!"
Done speaking, he thought of something. Afraid that Wen XiaoYun might misunderstand, he hastily said: "However, the God of Wealth that vice-admiral Cheng just worshipped definitely wouldn't be so stingy as to punish him. The God of wealth has a very good temper! It must be because he is very unlucky himself that he broke his leg!"
Wen XiaoYun asked curiously: "How do you know it was the God of Wealth?"
Zhuang Zhou said with confidence and conviction: "Energy stones are very expensive, right? He encountered an energy stone quarry as soon as he left. He can pick up a lot of energy stones and can sell them for lots and lots of money. Only the God of Wealth has this kind of divine power."
Otherwise, why would the Gods of Wishes complain about them Gods of Wealth all day.
Jealousy of course!
Because in the modern era, many people's wish was to become rich.
In terms of making people rich, the Gods of Wishes was not as amazing and impressive as the Gods of Wealth!
Wen XiaoYun looked at the little friend's proud little look. People who didn't know the situation would probably even assume he was praising himself.
Wen XiaoYun rubbed Zhuang Zhou's head briefly in amusement: "Yes, you're right."
Zhuang Zhou felt a bit embarrassed now. He looked down, then secretly flitted his gaze at Wen XiaoYun with a face of expectation: "How about, you also make an offering? You'll also become rich."
Someone like Wen XiaoYun provided work for many people. Many people looked up to him.
The strength of his Faith would be very strong, at least equivalent to the Faith of 100 people!
Wen XiaoYun said: "I have plenty of money. It's good enough."
Too much wealth can only make people lose themselves.
Wen XiaoYun had no need for that much money anyways.
Zhuang Zhou was somewhat disappointed. He still wanted to say something, but Cheng JinXue's feeble voice came from the other side of the communication device.
"Can the two of you please show some mercy? 4 minutes and 32 seconds have already passed. I only have 25 mins and 24 seconds left to live. Oh right, as I'm speaking, another 4 seconds passed."
Zhuang Zhou, Wen XiaoYun: "...…."
Zhuang Zhou silently closed his mouth and used his eyes to gesture at Wen XiaoYun to go rescue the person already!
Wen XiaoYun smiled and had Zhuang Zhou stay obediently inside the battleship. He took a few subordinates and went off personally to rescue Cheng JinXue. This way, he can inspect the situation with the energy ore quarry at the same time.
Prior to leaving, Wen XiaoYun pulled up planet B-324's previous information.
Before this planet was abandoned, it was a planet that processed trash. This was also the personal property of a royal prince of the Empire.
Because this was personal property, only the prince's people and the original inhabitants of this planet were permitted to enter. In addition, this planet was used to process trash. Outsiders from other planets wouldn't run all the way here to smell the garbage.
According to Cheng JinXue's words just now, the existence of a quarry was an indication of excavation.
In order words, that royal prince was most likely using trash processing to cover up the existence of the quarry.
Bringing professional equipment, Wen XiaoYun very quickly rescued Cheng JinXue out of the underground quarry.
When Cheng JinXue returned above ground, the energy radiation immediately returned to a manageable range for the protective gear. It finally stopped emitting warning sounds, clearing up Cheng JinXue's ears somewhat. He let out a big breath of relief.
After escaping with his life, Cheng JinXue recalled the energy quarry and started to laugh wildly.
"Fck! I'm really about to become rich!"
10 minutes later, Wen XiaoYun and the others climbed up from the underground cave.
Cheng JinXue hastily asked: "How is it, boss? Are there a lot of energy stones inside?"
Wen XiaoYun said: "The quarry has been excavated. Most of the high level energy stones have been dug out. There's only low level energy stones remaining."
Cheng JinXue's face fell: "Fck! Doesn't that mean I fell for nothing?"
Wen XiaoYun added nonchalantly: "I'm talking about the part that's been excavated."
Cheng JinXue's thoughts couldn't turn properly: "What does that mean?"
Behind him, the elite little squad's Zhou HongYi supplemented happily: "Vice-admiral Cheng, there aren't any more high level energy stones left in the excavated area. However, we found an ore vein that has not been excavated further underground. Its location is even deeper than the excavated caves. Our preliminary guess is that a few decades ago, before this planet was abandoned, the scanner was not as advanced as it is currently. Therefore, they didn't manage to discover that there was another vein deep underground."
Cheng JinXue laughed heartily: "Fck! This fall of mine was really fcking worth it!"
Wen XiaoYun calmly reminded him: "En, you lost your bet. Don't forget to call Zhuang Zhou grandpa when you return."
Chang JinXue: "............."
Can you not bring this up?!
Cheng JinXue was carried back to the battleship Wyvern.
Because Zhuang Zhou was worried about Wen XiaoYun, he, along with Xiao PoLan, carried over a small bench and sat down side by side, waiting at the door inside the battleship Wyvern.
As soon as the door opened, Zhuang Zhou immediately stood up, gaze landing on Wen XiaoYun. He didn't even manage to open his mouth to call out to the other when he heard a deafening shout:
"Grandpa!"
Zhuang Zhou jumped in fright, stupefied.
Face red and neck bulging, Cheng JinXue stared wide-eyed at Zhuang Zhou's rather youthful face in comparison, and squeezed out a breath, yelling: "Grandpa, from now on, I, Cheng JinXue, is your obedient grandson! If you want me to head East, I definitely won't head west!"
After yelling, Cheng JinXue glared at Zhuang Zhou.
He already did what he promised.
If this little friend was tactful and allowed him a way out of this embarrassing situation by waving this bet off, he'd definitely treat the little friend to the utmost of his abilities in the future.
However, Zhuang Zhou only furrowed his brows and thought for a moment, who knew what he was thinking about, and then muttered: "En…… You're not wrong, in calling me grandpa."
Cheng JinXue: "???"
Are you fcking for real?
Zhuang Zhou was no longer flustered.
He was the God of Wealth. What's wrong with calling him grandpa?
Who didn't want the God of Wealth as their own grandpa?
Zhuang Zhou did his best to display a benevolent expression. However, because he was too good-looking, regardless of the view, this kind of benevolent expression only gave him an intensely contrasting sense of cuteness.
He gave Cheng JinXue a benevolent smile: "En en. Don't worry. I will take good care of you in the future as well."
Under the care of the God of Wealth, getting promoted and gaining riches would no longer be dreams!
Cheng JinXue: ".........."
He agreed to the bet so he must accept the loss. He has to tolerate this!

Little God of Wealth: I have a super good temper. His broken leg must be because he's so unlucky.
