Chapter 2881: Working
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Half an hour later, the soldiers in the warehouse suddenly noticed transport robots pushing boxes out of the underground passage outside the ship’s base.
Hmm? Boxes?
They’re pushing them out again?
Usually, the transport robots were seen delivering boxes into the hole, but this was the first time seeing them bringing boxes out.
What could it be?
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing, nothing."
The soldiers shrank their necks and continued with their work.
Inside the warehouse, more and more soldiers noticed the situation outside on the deck, all of them trying to peek and figure out what was going on. But fearing being scolded by Collete, they could only steal a few glances.
Soon, the transport robots pushed the boxes into the ship’s hall, leaving them in the temporary storage area, before immediately returning.
Fang Heng, standing aside, checked the mission commission information from the spawn’s mainframe, frowned, and then looked around the ship’s interior, asking, "Excuse me, who is Colonel Collete?"
A small amount of ore could be submitted directly to the mainframe, but when Fang Heng tried submitting box after box of ore, the mainframe immediately sent a hint saying it couldn’t accept it. He needed to find a Federation officer to handle the material receipt.
"I’m the one."
Collete, who had already noticed Fang Heng’s strange actions, stepped out from the crowd and asked, "You must be Fang Heng? I’ve heard of you. Instructor Benny personally recommended you. Is there something I can help you with?"
"Colonel Collete, it’s like this. I’ve accepted a commission from the mainframe and brought a batch of energy ore. The mainframe shows that you’re the one to accept it."
Fang Heng pointed to the transport robots, who were steadily bringing the energy ore boxes over, "Can I temporarily store them here? When can we proceed with the sign-off and certification?"
Huh?
Collete was stunned, then glanced at the boxes piled up in the temporary storage area.
"You mean all these are energy ore?"
"Yes, that’s right."
Fang Heng nodded and gestured.
Beside the boxes, a transport robot opened one of them, revealing it was filled with ore.
The soldiers around them had already turned their attention to the scene. Now, they all gathered to look at the open boxes, their eyes showing astonishment.
Wow!
They really were energy ores!
Although the ores came in varying quality, with some being inferior and others superior, it was clear they were indeed ores.
No way? Just 20 minutes ago, the boxes were empty when they went out. Now they’re full of energy ore?
How did that happen?
Was that underground cavern connected to a mining area?
Collete nodded at a nearby soldier, signaling them to count the energy crystals.
"Thank you for the help you’ve provided to the Federation. The energy crystals can be stored here for now. I will handle them properly. As for the classification of the energy ores, it’s still pending. We’ll sort and settle them. It may take some time, but once it’s done, your contribution points will be directly credited to your account."
In fact, the ship wasn’t in immediate need of energy crystals, but it was always good to have more stored just in case.
Moreover, according to the Federation’s plan, they indeed needed to store some extra energy crystals to deal with potential future troubles.
But the Federation hadn’t anticipated Fang Heng’s arrival.
Fang Heng, with the idea of making the most of the situation, controlled his zombie team to relentlessly mine the ore.
Soon, the transport robots formed a line, continuously bringing boxes of ore from the catacombs beneath the ship and unloading them into the ship without stopping.
The Federation soldiers were stunned.
They had seen ore being gathered before, but never had they seen someone work this hard to collect ores like Fang Heng.
Fang Heng was quite satisfied with his zombies’ mining efficiency.
Although the exchange rate for energy ore to contribution points wasn’t high, the sheer volume of ore being mined made up for it!
With this efficiency, he could easily get the Grandmaster-level psychic ability after just two days of grinding.
The key was safety, plus he could fully manage everything.
It was all about ease of mind!
Meanwhile, Collete noticed that the ores were more than expected, so he assigned a few soldiers to sort them.
In Collete’s mind, Fang Heng probably just happened to find an underground mining area and dug up some ores that were already mined.
It was perfect, as the ore reserves were now sorted. He hoped that it would fill up the backup warehouse No. 1.
Collete never imagined that these ores were mined by Fang Heng himself, and he had plenty more to deliver!
Not just the backup warehouse, but all the warehouses on the ship could be filled!
While Collete was busy directing soldiers to transport the ores to the backup warehouse, not far away, a Lieutenant from the Empire walked into the armory.
"Lieutenant Jayne."
Two soldiers at the entrance immediately saluted.
Seeing Jayne, Collete walked up to greet him, "Jayne, what brings you here today? Weren’t you satisfied with the last batch of materials?"
"Of course not, I know that the goods you gave me are top-notch!" Jayne said, giving Collete a thumbs up.
The two had been soldiers together and had trained in the same class, so they shared a close bond.
"On to business, I’m here to find Fang Heng." Jayne said, looking around the warehouse. "I heard he’s here. Have you seen him?"
"Huh?"
Fang Heng again?
Collete’s heart skipped a beat, and he whispered, "What do you need him for?"
"Ah, don’t even mention it."
Jayne waved his hand, looking helpless, "I ran into a C-level bug nest mission. I spent two days trying to handle it but couldn’t. When I was in the cultivation pod earlier, I bumped into Boyd, and we chatted a bit. He recommended Fang Heng to me."
Collete was even more confused.
"Huh? Boyd recommended Fang Heng? Recommended him to help you transport materials?"
"Transport materials?" Jayne didn’t understand, correcting, "No, he recommended him to help. I heard this guy’s amazing. As long as you can provide contribution points, he can deal with a B-level nest all by himself."
"Is that true?"
Collete was initially surprised, then thought of Boyd and couldn’t help but laugh, "That’s a bit too much, don’t you think? Boyd’s always talking big. The captain has spent days trying to deal with a B-level nest, and it still hasn’t been cleared. You expect Fang Heng to do it alone?"
Boyd was known for his big mouth, and most of the things he said were exaggerated.
"If Boyd were the only one saying it, I’d believe only about three points of what he says, but Igor was there too, and he personally confirmed that Fang Heng is quite skilled..."
Jayne became serious. "You know Igor, right? He’s very honest. He only says what he’s completely sure of."
Collete became more serious. "What did Igor say?"
