Hu Chan looked at Qin Siyang, several times wanting to speak but stopping himself.
After hesitating again and again, he finally spoke.
"President Qin, didn't you say we would keep hunting gods?"
"That's right."
"Then why are you driving straight toward the Safe Zone?"
"If we go too far from the Safe Zone, it is easy to run into danger. We just ran into the Nightmare Lantern Tree. Even though we were lucky enough to survive and even got a seed whose use we do not know, I do not want to go through that again."
Watching the kilometers to the Safe Zone keep getting smaller, Hu Chan asked, "Then how far from the Safe Zone do you plan to look for Blood Moon Tarantulas and Abyss Hounds?"
"About twenty kilometers."
Having just brushed past a major god, Qin Siyang also felt uneasy, so he made the most conservative decision he ever had.
Hu Chan rubbed his chin and thought, "Twenty kilometers? That is too close to the Safe Zone. It always feels like the resources will not be rich enough."
Qin Siyang glanced at Hu Chan, "Not rich enough? I find that after surviving the Nightmare Lantern Tree, you have really become insanely bold. Even at twenty kilometers, there are medium sized gods. Whether you can beat them is still unknown. If you really run into them, who is whose resource is not certain."
"President Qin, that may be true, but there is one thing I have to remind you of."
"Go on."
"Sequence ability users like us, who are stuck at sequence level five and seeking sacrifices for sequence level six, will only become more and more numerous as time goes on. The range in which gods outside the Safe Zone are searched will also keep expanding as the average strength increases."
"You are right," Qin Siyang nodded, "But you also need to know that with the strength of sequence level five, it is not enough to do whatever you want within twenty kilometers outside the Safe Zone."
"What if there are Insurers?"
"One Insurer also depends on their strength."
"What if we form groups and treat each other as Insurers, and hunt gods together to seek breakthroughs?"
After hearing this, Qin Siyang looked at Hu Chan, "You want to gather in groups to collect sacrifices? Not afraid of your sequence ability being exposed?"
Hu Chan shook his head, "I am an orphan, and also the lofty Holy Son of the Zephyr Church. From start to finish, only Protector Yu has ever been my Insurer. But most people do not have conditions like mine."
"I have heard that in universities, the outstanding students all form teams like this to hunt and look for breakthrough resources."
"So I think that at twenty or thirty kilometers from the Safe Zone, it is very likely that you will not be able to find any gods with a very high cost performance."
Qin Siyang frowned, "Why did you not say this before? When we were hunting gods within thirty kilometers on the weekend, you were so enthusiastic, jumping around all over the place. You did not talk to me about any of this then."
Hu Chan smiled, "Before, I was just a hired hand. Being able to handle things or let you see that I was working hard was enough. I had to think of ways to slack off and also guard against your exploitation, so of course I would not actively help. On the weekend, I was fired up on impulse, so I did not seriously think about this for you."
"And now?"
"Now?"
Hu Chan gave Qin Siyang a meaningful look.
"Now I think that you and I are partners who have been through life and death and share secrets. Thinking for each other's interests is the wise and correct choice. So when it comes to you seeking sacrifice resources for your breakthrough, I will also consider your situation more."
"In the future, we will keep hunting gods together. You will see my sincerity and effort."
Qin Siyang let out a sigh, "Holy Son, your words really move people deeply. But do not think you can trick the Titan Grass inner leaf fragments out of me with just a few sweet words."
"It is fine. Cooperation is a long term thing. I am not in a hurry. As long as you can guarantee that when I desperately need the Titan Grass inner leaf fragments, you will not go back on your word."
Qin Siyang looked at Hu Chan with a bit of surprise and saw that Hu Chan's smile was very confident.
After lowering his eyes and thinking for a moment, he handed him the storage box containing the potions.
"As we agreed before, after hunting the multi headed weasels, I would give you one third of the potions. Take the share you are owed."
"Alright, thank you."
Qin Siyang, meanwhile, stared into space, silently thinking about Hu Chan's words.
In the end, he accepted Hu Chan's suggestion and decided to park the drill cabin fifty kilometers from the Safe Zone.
On the way forward, they once again ran into a huge block of yellow silver ore.
Qin Siyang, with the attitude that not picking up things when you go out is the same as throwing them away, put the big chunk of yellow silver ore into the storage box.
As they continued, Hu Chan asked, "President Qin, this yellow silver ore is not valuable. I see you are always collecting it. Are you planning to use it to research yellow silver star ore?"
Qin Siyang nodded, "Your guess is pretty accurate."
"It is not really a guess. The performance of yellow silver star ore is too outstanding, and its structural similarity with yellow silver ore reaches ninety seven percent. Naturally, many people think you can use yellow silver ore to produce yellow silver star ore. It is just that from start to finish, no one has been able to reproduce the piece of yellow silver star ore in Professor Zhong Dingming's hands."
As he spoke, Hu Chan took out a piece of ore from his own storage box.
Qin Siyang glanced at it. It was extremely similar to yellow silver ore, but it had specks of starlight on it.
"This is yellow silver star ore?"
"That's right."
"How do you have it?"
"As the Holy Son of the Zephyr Church, what is strange about representing the Zephyr Church to buy some yellow silver star ore from Professor Zhong Dingming?"
Qin Siyang curled his lips, "I thought you had discovered yellow silver star ore yourself."
Hu Chan sighed, "Right now in the Safe Zone, most rare materials that do not appear on the market and look like one of a kind items might actually be held by several people in secret."
"But yellow silver star ore, I can be sure only Zhong Dingming has it. Everyone else's yellow silver star ore was traded from Zhong Dingming."
"So, President Qin, if you really want to understand how yellow silver ore becomes yellow silver star ore, I think you should start with Zhong Dingming."
Qin Siyang felt rather uncomfortable.
It was not that he disliked Hu Chan's advice. It was that Hu Chan was pouring out information like beans from a bamboo tube, telling him things without holding anything back, which made him feel unfamiliar.
Holy Son Hu being so sincere all of a sudden made it hard for him to handle.
Qin Siyang pressed down his doubts and looked at the yellow silver star ore in Hu Chan's hand, "Everyone says Zhong Dingming himself does not even know the connection between yellow silver star ore and yellow silver ore. What use is going to him?"
"If you ask me, that is just Zhong Dingming's excuse to avoid trouble."
"How so?"
"After Zhong Dingming became a top tier professor of sequence item research, his eldest son went missing outside the Safe Zone."
"From the time he announced that he obtained yellow silver star ore until now, his second daughter and youngest son have also gone missing one after another."
