"How's it going? Did you find it?" Zhou Yue waited for a while and then asked.

"We've found it, come with me." Lin Fei responded, and then started looking for the destination according to the navigation.

The two people walked along, passed a street, turned a corner, and saw a very lively commercial center.

"This is it. Many shops in that place have moved to this location." Lin Fei said to Zhou Yue while looking at some familiar shops.

"Let's go to that store first!" Zhou Yue raised her finger and pointed to a store in the distance.

"Okay!" Lin Fei nodded, and then the two of them moved forward along with the crowd.

The place was very lively, with countless people gathered.

It's a bit difficult to change directions at will amid the surging crowds.

Lin Fei and Zhou Yue followed the crowd and walked forward, and then they entered a shop selling jewelry.

"Welcome." There is a waiter at the door who greets guests when they see them coming in.

"Do you need anything?"

"Well, let's see for ourselves first."

"OK."

Zhou Yue looked at the dazzling array of products on the shelves and was very interested.

Lin Fei was not particularly interested in such small things. If Zhou Yue hadn't wanted to come in and have a look, he would have never come to the store.

"This doll is quite beautiful." Zhou Yue picked up an exquisite little doll and said to Lin Fei.

"You can buy it if you like."

"Take another look, don't rush to buy."

“I didn’t expect there was a chopstick seller here.”

“I’ve never seen the carved pattern on this chopstick before.”

"I happen to want to change the chopsticks at home. I can buy a set."

"I'll buy a set too."

The two of them walked around the jewelry store. Lin Fei bought a set of chopsticks and Zhou Yue bought a small bag of seventy-eight items.

After paying and coming out of the store, there were fewer people on the street, which was quite surprising.

"Why are there suddenly fewer people?" Zhou Yue said with some confusion.

"It seems there are security guards intercepting him in front." Lin Fei looked to his left and could vaguely see figures in uniforms busy.

A large number of people gathered, and in order to avoid a stampede, a large number of security personnel were dispatched to control the number.

Lin Fei and Zhou Yue's shopping at this time was not as crowded as when they first arrived here. Then they visited one store after another and bought more and more things.

Fortunately, a lot of things can be stored in the dimensional space. Unlike some tourists who come here to play, they carry a lot of things in large and small bags. The longer they go shopping, the fatigue level increases sharply.

…………

Time passes and the night becomes dark.

At a roadside stall having late-night snacks, two figures came from across the street.

"Handsome girl, what do you want to eat?" the owner of the barbecue stall greeted with a smile.

Lin Fei and Zhou Yue came here for a late night snack after shopping. They ordered a lot of things and then found an empty table to sit down.

"I'm so tired!" Zhou Yue raised her hand and tapped her shoulder, sighing.

"I told you to end it early, but you didn't listen..." Lin Fei said angrily.

"It was the first time I came to this place, and I found that there were many shops that I had never seen elsewhere, so I couldn't help but spend an extra hour shopping." Zhou Yue said with a smile.

"This time you bought a lot of things, many of which you want to give to your colleagues. Don't forget to take them to the company when you go to work." Lin Fei reminded.

"I made a memo on my phone. It will remind me when the time comes and I won't forget it..." Zhou Yue said with a smile.

The two of them were chatting, and the smell of barbecue in the air made people salivate.

The owner of the barbecue stall grilled a large pile of barbecue and served it to the table.

Zhou Yue opened a bottle of beer, then looked at Lin Fei and smiled slightly.

"Drink less." Lin Fei understood, and stretched out a finger to touch the bottle. Within a few seconds, white mist appeared on the surface of the bottle.

After drinking a glass of ice-cold beer, Zhou Yue felt comfortable.

In the hot summer, many people come here to eat barbecue at night. The barbecue stalls become more and more lively, and every table is filled with people.

…………

In the spirit world, human strongholds in the forest are becoming more and more lively.

Early this morning, not long after the sun rose, several transport trucks loaded with goods arrived at Stronghold No. 16.

The guard at the door opened the iron door, the transport truck came to the warehouse, and then specialized people unloaded the goods from the truck and transported them into the warehouse.

The captain of the motorcade got out of the car and walked to the swimming pool in the distance.

This swimming pool was built not long ago, and many people swim in the swimming pool during breaks.

There is also a newly built office building in the distance. Counting this newly built office building, there are already as many as five office buildings in this stronghold.

The construction of Stronghold No. 16 continues to improve, and while the area is expanding, the various facilities inside are also increasing.

There is a large spirit stone vein nearby, so this stronghold is very important to humans, and the number of investigators sent here is increasing rapidly.

More than two hours later, the convoy of transport trucks left Stronghold No. 16.

When they left, they took away a large amount of spiritual stone mines.

These spirit stone mines will be transported to the base camp, and then sent back to Blue Star by other transportation teams, and finally distributed to the various superpower management agencies.

A girl with long hair walked out of the dormitory. She waited under a tree on the roadside for a while, and a girl with short hair came from a distance.

These two people were newcomers. They had only been on a business trip to the spiritual world for a week, and they were full of curiosity about things here.

Today happened to be a day off, so the two girls met to go around.

According to the plan, Stronghold No. 16 will form a town with a population of over 10,000 in the future.

At this moment, there are construction sites in various places in No. 16 Stronghold, and it looks like it is in full swing.

The two girls were wandering around and unknowingly came to the area where the spirit stone veins were located.

"According to the survey results of the exploration team, the Lingshi vein at our No. 16 base is a large temporary vein. If the mining continues, at the current mining speed, it will not be fully mined even if it takes fifty years..." The long-haired girl

said.

"The large mineral veins are really extraordinary. I heard that the large mineral veins at Stronghold No. 15 are twice as big as ours," the short-haired girl said.

The two people looked at the operating machine in front of them and chatted about the spirit stone veins.

It is not unusually difficult to discover a large spirit stone vein on Blue Star, and in the forest of the spirit world, the exploration team dispatched has discovered several places within this year.

It can be seen from this that the abundance of resources in the spiritual world is exaggerated. Almost no one will object to the development of resources in this world, even if it is dangerous.

…………

The transport truck was driving quickly on the road, and there were endless forests on both sides of the road.

You could hear the roar of beasts before, but for some unknown reason recently, the roars of beasts have disappeared and it is very quiet.

There were investigators at the front of the convoy clearing the way, which gave me a sense of security.

Suddenly, the investigator's car began to slow down, and the transport vehicle behind it also began to slow down.

After a while, all the cars stopped and the investigators got out of the cars.

Two investigators quickly walked into the grass on the roadside and then disappeared.

The driver of the transport truck looked at the investigator with confusion. They had encountered alien beasts attacking the convoy before. The investigators got out of the car to deal with the alien beasts, but they did not go directly into the grass on the roadside like this.

According to the initial decision, the investigators suddenly stopped to deal with some emergencies, and the driver of the convoy was not allowed to get out of the car unless there were special circumstances.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the investigator who left returned.

From the looks of them, it doesn't look like there was a fight.

The investigator got back on the truck and set off again, and the transport truck immediately started to follow.

When the convoy left and disappeared at the end of the road, a few kilometers away from the road, on the top of a small hill, a black beast grabbed a branch and stood on the tree, looking at the direction in which the leaving convoy disappeared.

Just now, this strange beast emitted powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, attracting the attention of investigators.

For safety reasons, the investigator stopped the car and sent several people to investigate.

The alien beast was just a test, sensing that the investigators were coming to investigate, so it left quickly, leaving the investigators in vain and returned with nothing.

"These people are really vigilant."

"They are not weak in strength."

"In a one-on-one situation, even if I want to win, I have to pay a high price."
