Chapter 813 - Expansion

Zhao Xiu was stunned for a moment before he flew into a rage. “What nonsense are you talking about? You need to show evidence before making such an accusation!”

Amidst the silence, a player hurriedly walked into the room to report.

“Supervisor Dai, Raptor Company’s Underground Fortress No. 2838 has just been bought out by Ark Technology. Our company’s people have been chased out.”

Everyone in the meeting was stunned when they heard this, and they quickly started discussing.

What was going on?

Buying out the safe area? And it was such a super-sized safe area?

This was the mid-stage of the game, so buying out the safe area was very rare.

Moreover, the Tianlin mining area was considered to be a low-value area, and it was only suitable to be used as a transit station.

Ark Company?!

Were they so influential and wealthy?

Ark Company’s every action revealed an aura of ‘not lacking in money’ and ‘I’m very strong’.

In the beginning, Weixing Technology still had the thought of slapping them in the face and directly going against Ark Company.

After the successive news came, morale fell to a low point.

“Everyone, in my opinion…”

Dai Yutong also felt that the player’s desire to fight was rapidly fading. She thought for a moment, she said, “From the various performances of Ark Company, the other party’s strength is very strong. I think we need to temporarily stop our attack plan.”

Yang Kai frowned and said, “Supervisor Dai, I understand what you mean, but if we just let it go, not only will it affect the company’s revenue, but it will also have a great impact on the company’s reputation…”

“We’re not letting it go. Let’s wait for the time being and consider another way to attack,” Dai Yutong nodded and said, “If we spread the news about Ark Company, I believe that there will be people who are more anxious than us. One company might not be able to win, but if we join forces to deal with Ark Company, the risk will be much lower.”

Zhao Xiu immediately understood when he heard that.

There was more than one company that relied on ores for their livelihood. Their plate was only so big. What would they do if they suddenly had such a powerful competitor?

They could still hold on for a while since Weixing Technology was a big company, but many small companies could not hold on any longer.

They could either disband on the spot and find another way out, or they could fight to the death with Ark Technology.

When that time came, Weixing Technology would raise its arms and call out for them…

“Get people to keep a close eye on Ark Company and conduct a thorough investigation on them. I want to know their background clearly.”

Dai Yutong looked around the crowd again. “If we want to destroy them, let them go crazy first. Let Ark Company expand for a while longer.”

…

Under the intentional dissemination of news by Weixing Technology, the notoriety of Ark Company quickly spread in the game.

The players in the Tianlin mining area were so shocked that their jaws almost fell off.

After waking up, the safe area that they were staying in had changed its name.

Ark Company’s financial resources were actually so terrifying that they had bought the entire safe area.

Normal mining teams no longer had the intention to go against Ark Company. They all obediently paid their contribution points.

What made the mining teams feel even more strange was that Ark Company had offered a slightly higher price than the market price to purchase some special ores and evolution crystals.

Everything went on as usual, and with the money to be made, the players would naturally flock to it.

Two days later, Fang Heng went online again.

Fang Heng spent most of the past two days in the fallen corridor commanding the team to deal with the skeleton demons and the vengeful spirits. He didn’t know much about the situation in the game, so he stayed in hack mode most of the time.

He just felt that it was a little strange.

The people of Wasteland Apocalypse didn’t seem to be very brave.

If it were in the Zombie Apocalypse, if their own mines were stolen, they would definitely go knock on other people’s doors.

Who cares if he could beat them or not? Action speaks louder than words.

Seeing that Weixing Technology didn’t seem to make any moves, Fang Heng accelerated the mining of high-tier ores and used the ores to exchange for contribution points.

In addition to the contribution points that Mo Jiawei had secretly acquired, he had amassed 100 million contribution points. Two days ago, he had used the mortgage loan from Li Wenbo to purchase Raptor Company’s Underground Fortress No. 2838.

Since then, Fang Heng had also obtained a super-large shelter’s underground fortress’s safe area in the Wasteland World.

The more troublesome thing was that he had to submit hundreds of millions of contribution points to Raptor Company every week to repay the loan. It was a notarized loan by the system and had to be repaid.

Not long ago, Mo Jiawei had returned to District 9 of the world of vampires. He went to the demon hunter camp to fiddle with the unknown stone slab that they had gotten the last time and triggered the follow-up mission. He had just returned.

When he came back, he found that the safe area had been taken by Fang Heng.

He was shocked and looked at Fang Heng. He asked, “So, Fang Heng, you also took out a mortgage, right?”

“You’re right. From now on, we’ll be workers of Raptor Company.”

Fang Heng nodded. After packing up and buying the entire safe area, the zombie clones could bypass the safety settings and enter the safe area. Then, he immediately began to build the large-scale space tearing device.

“Hahahaha,” Mo Jiawei laughed, “I thought Li Bowen was a genius the first time we met. He could even come up with a mortgage.”

At this time, Li Wenbo became Fang Heng’s exclusive agent. He stood behind the two and coughed twice, “Ahem, I heard someone talking bad about me to my face.”

“Haha, I’m just kidding.”

Li Wenbo was full of admiration for Fang Heng. He raised his head and looked at the beautiful metal building in front of him.

Large-scale space tearing device.

Obviously, the Ark Company also had the technology to build such a device.

However, the space tearing device was completed in just two days?

The bionic toolmen were too useful!

Li Wenbo looked at the well-equipped zombies standing behind the teleportation hall with envy.

For the past two days, Fang Heng had relied on his zombie clones to mine high-tier ores in exchange for contribution points. At the same time, he used the ores to exchange with the players in Tianlin mining area for the ores needed to build the space tearing device and the evolution crystals needed to level up.

At this time, the zombie clones had already changed their equipment and carried the most advanced mining equipment developed by Raptor Company.

The efficiency was top-notch!

At the speed of clearing an iron mine every five hours, they harvested the high-tier mining areas in the depths of the Tianlin mining area.

For this, Li Wenbo even urgently mobilized six NPC squads and directly set up a temporary camp near the depths of the mining area to temporarily store materials and build a special passage to facilitate the transportation of materials.

The mining was too fast and couldn’t be sent out.

Li Wenbo had never encountered such a problem before.

There were too many materials, so much so that the transportation port was under unimaginable pressure. Now, there were large amounts of high-tier ore materials piled up in the field.

They could not transport the materials in time!

“Oh right, I never had the time to ask, who is this?”

Li Wenbo had just arrived. He pointed at Victor, who was fiddling with the space tearing device.

“Victor, my good brother.”

Fang Heng introduced him to Li Wenbo.

Victor also wore a mask on his face. When he heard the two of them mention his name, he waved at Li Wenbo as a form of greeting.
