Time passed quickly, and several hours passed in the blink of an eye, and it was daytime on the alien planet.
Wang Zhifan spent most of this time inspecting the mines, and sometimes even went to the north area where other teams were excavating to learn about the general situation of the entire mining area.
At this moment, he came to the exit of the mine to count the fruits of his men's labor and made a preliminary calculation.
“According to the current mining data, if everything goes well, it will probably reach the passing line of 80% of the total indicators by the end of the month. This company’s indicators are really accurate.”
After rough calculations , he found that the mining team he led had a high probability of completing 80% of the mining target if this continued, but there was no guarantee, because if something unexpected happened, the chain might be lost at the last moment.
"To be on the safe side, it seems that I have to use some external moves."
After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan felt that he had to make preparations in advance, otherwise he would be unhappy if the copy fell short at the last moment.
But just as he was thinking secretly, a member of the security team driving a three-meter-high combat mecha came to his vicinity and reported to him:
"Captain, the base dispatched The nutritional ointment has arrived, please tell everyone when to eat.”
“Let’s distribute it now...forget it, I will distribute it myself”
Wang Zhifan responded immediately after hearing this. He was not the type who liked to hinder his men from eating.
Not long after, he opened his five-meter-high combat mecha for the first time and walked out of the mecha warehouse guarded by robots, and then brought a large box containing nutritional cream and drinking water supplies for all members into the mecha. In the cockpit, he personally went into the mine to deliver meals to his subordinates.
Of course, the team members guarding the outside of the mine were the first to obtain their own nutritional ointment and have already started to consume it.
Wang Zhifan saw that the team members were eating a yellow square nutritional paste packaged in green paper. It looked like they were eating cakes, and their expressions were normal. It should not be difficult to eat.
The miners ate something different. It was a white tube-shaped nutritional paste. When he entered the mine and threw one of the tubes at the old black man of the elite miner, the old black man's face suddenly showed "I picked it up." He looked as disgusted as shit, but he was reluctant to throw away his only nutritional ration, so he could only frown and prepare to forcefully stuff the nutritional paste into his mouth.
"Old man! Let me try this for you!"
Seeing this, Wang Zhifan secretly thought how unpalatable this white tube-shaped nutritional paste must be. Even the old man who has worked here for more than ten years could not adapt to it, so he raised his hand and said... From the lunch box, he took out a lump of nutritious paste that the security team members consumed, and threw it from the cockpit of his fighting mecha to the cockpit of the old man's advanced mining mecha.
“Thank you, Captain!”
The old black man is indeed a senior miner. He recognized what Wang Zhifan threw to him at a glance, reached out and picked up the piece that was countless times more delicious. He began to stuff the nutritional ointment into his mouth, and the tube of nutritional ointment he was holding just now was thrown directly to the cockpit floor.
"Galka, you have fifteen minutes to eat, enjoy it."
Wang Zhifan immediately reminded the other party that giving the elite miner ample meal time was equivalent to giving the other party a short holiday. This was a special reward for the hard-working miner.
Leaving the location of the elite miner Galka, Wang Zhifan then drove the combat mecha to the nearest place.
Two young white men were originally mining here, but since the last time Wang Zhifan came to check on the arrangements, they were forcibly separated, leaving only one of them still mining here alone.
When the young miner here heard the heavy footsteps of the combat mech driven by Wang Zhifan approaching, his slightly lazy mining rhythm suddenly became faster, trying to give the visitor a good impression.
"Stop it, Joseph! It's time for you to eat! And don't work hard just when I come, the total amount of your mining cannot be deceived!"
Upon seeing this, Wang Zhifan threw a tube of unpalatable white nutritional ointment and two bottles of drinking water to the miner who was not working well. After giving a warning, he rushed to the next location.
The reason why he has to do such small things personally is, on the one hand, to improve the relationship between himself and his subordinates, and on the other hand, to further confirm their working status and make corresponding adjustments.
Not long after, he came all the way to the depths of the southern area of the mine and found three miners quarreling. At the same time, two security team members came to rescue them, but the results were not good.
The core of the argument between the three miners was the amount of minerals they mined. Two of them believed that they had been taken advantage of by others, that is, the mines they mined had been stolen, but the identified miners did not think so at all. recognize.
"Jerry! Which of your eyes saw me stealing your ore! My mining location is more than 20 meters away from you! How could you not notice it if I came to steal it!"
"Asshole Thomson! Don't think I don't know you are a serious thief! I really don't know when you stole it! But you were closest to my location! You definitely stole it!"
"Yes! He even stole all the ores in my cart! Otherwise, the weight of the mine cart would not have suddenly dropped so much!"
"You are so angry! Good people on the road! If you don’t believe it, you can check my truck. There is no ore in it!” Yes! You only use this dirty trick!"
"Stop arguing! You will be punished for delaying mining!"
"The captain is here! Let the captain judge it himself!"
...
For a while, the three quarreling miners and the two security team members who came to rescue them all focused their attention. Wang Zhifan, who delivered the food, hoped that the boss of the mining team could give a judgment.
Wang Zhifan acted very calmly. He waved his hand to stop the chattering of the three miners and said:
"It's meal time! You all eat quietly and don't make any more noise! As for I have made my own decision on the matter of stealing mines, and I will send someone to inform you of the investigation results later!”
After saying that, he immediately distributed the nutritional ointment to each of the five people present, and at the same time arranged for two security team members to lead one miner away respectively, leaving only the miner Thomson, who was considered a thief, to stay where he was.
After the other two miners left, Wang Zhifan asked Thomson, who looked angry and was shown to be a thief in the information:
"Thomson, to be honest, you really didn't steal the mines? "
"No! Captain! I swear to God, not at all! How could I care about a few broken stones! This is an insult to my character!" Thomson couldn't help but look even more excited when he saw the captain. Maybe it was because of his acting skills as a habitual thief. I really feel like my professionalism has been questioned.
"Well... I understand. You can mine with peace of mind. I will investigate this matter personally and will not wrong anyone."
Wang Zhifan left in a hurry after expressing his position, without exploring too much in the same place.
In fact, this kind of trivial matter of stealing minerals is nothing to Wang Zhifan. Anyway, the minerals are circulated within the team and do not affect his captain's performance indicators. However, Wang Zhifan suspects that the situation is not that simple. There may be another hidden meaning.
“According to the workstations of the three miners I just saw, it would definitely not be that easy for any of them to steal the ore...
The ore is very heavy, and it will not be possible to move the mining mecha without controlling it. No, and for a machine as big as a mining mecha, even a deaf person can detect any movement. It is impossible to say that a few miners who have been working for several years cannot find that others are driving a mecha to steal minerals...
< br>
So the real situation is very clear. Either these three people are acting together and want to create opportunities to be lazy, or someone else has used special means to steal the mines, hiding it from their sight..."
After a brief analysis, Wang Zhifan greatly narrowed down the scope of suspicion. The person he suspected most was not Thomson, who was a thief, but the two newcomers in his mining team, specifically the two players. !
The reason is simple, only players have various gods. It is a strange method that can hide the sight of ordinary miners and take the fruits of other people's labor for themselves without anyone noticing.
And players are also very motivated to do so. They mine in order to meet the customs clearance requirements. Goal, will definitely do everything possible Can increase one's total ore capacity.
Of course, it is not necessarily the players in the own mining team who can do this. If there are players in other teams, such as the No. 2 mining team in the north area of the mine, There is a high probability that I will come here to catch the autumn wind.
Therefore, Wang Zhifan then distributed the remaining nutritional ointment and drinking water supplies while secretly observing the movements in his mining area.
In fact, he had two clones placed in the mining area to guard him secretly. However, the mining area was too large, and his clone had not noticed any outsiders breaking in before. His main goal of controlling the clone at that time was to protect several people. An elite miner ensures output and does not focus on this aspect at all.
When he quietly passed by the two white players in his team in his combat mecha, he found that they were both controlling the standard mining mecha and working hard, even the nutritional ointment distributed to them was gone. Ignore it.
And he sent a clone in advance to observe secretly, and confirmed that they were in the same state when there were no outsiders, and their work attitude was obviously much better than most of the NPC miners who were sneaky and sneaky.
“It seems that they are two common steady players who tried hard to mine in the early stage of the instance to achieve the clearance target... In that case, the person who stole the minerals is likely to come from another team...”
After some thinking, Wang Zhifan basically confirmed that the thief came from outside, which made him have a long-planned plan in his heart.
"Haha... isn't it just stealing the mines? Who doesn't know that? Brother, I will steal all your mines right now!
No... stealing them all is too exaggerated. Stealing half or even a small half is enough. The copy will take a long time, so the water needs to flow slowly..."
After making the decision, Wang Zhifan then started the corresponding operations.
I saw that he created a dream me clone that had no difference in appearance and replaced him to fly the combat mecha. The original person put on the wind hidden hat and entered the invisible state, and went to the mine that he had already roughly explored once. Dongbei District.
The captain of the No. 2 mining team responsible for mining the northern area of the mine is a middle-aged white man with a stern look. His style is similar to Wang Zhifan. He is used to patrolling and investigating the mine in person, and whips miners who want to be lazy at any time.
The invisible Wang Zhifan easily avoided the captain's investigation route, and then began to profit from his mining team.
The first person who was attacked by him was a novice miner. This miner was an NPC boy. He was not very skilled in controlling standard mining mechas. The mining efficiency was obviously low to the naked eye, but his work attitude Pretty serious.
Wang Zhifan saw this and went over to help him. He jumped onto his mecha truck in a stealth state, reducing the burden on the NPC who had finally mined the ore, and took the truck away at once. One-tenth of the minerals in the bucket were all put into his space ring, which was the modified Poseidon Meditation Ring.
The second batch of people who were attacked by him were two veteran miners. The two miners were working very close to each other. Therefore, they were chatting while mining skillfully, without even noticing that there was an invisible thief. has arrived.
Wang Zhifan showed mercy and took away one-fifth of the fine minerals in their mecha mines. With their efficiency, they didn't care about this loss anyway.
Considering the limited capacity of the space ring, Wang Zhifan took fewer shots, and his main focus was on finding the players in the mining team.
It didn't take him long to discover that there were at least three players in this mining team.
One of them is a hard-working type, focusing on mastering the standard mining mecha and mining very hard.
One is a bold fisherman who actually lay down in the mecha cab and fell asleep without anyone monitoring him, wondering how he planned to pass the level.
The last one was a sneaky person. Wang Zhifan sensed that what he left in the cockpit was a humanoid puppet, controlling the mining mecha to work slowly, while the original figure ran away to who knows where.
“This man’s puppet seems to be of average intelligence, and it’s hard to refuse his kindness, so just accept the fruits of his labor!”
For the two players in front, Wang Zhifan did not steal their mines. , after all, players have various means to reveal their secrets.
But Wang Zhifan, who used a humanoid puppet as his replacement, didn’t have to worry. He judged that the puppet was relatively dull, so he jumped into the back of the car without being seen, intending to fill up the remaining space in the ring. capacity.
But just at this time, some movements around him that were difficult for ordinary people to detect triggered his perception, causing him to quietly jump out of the mining mecha.
In the mining cockpit, a young player with Xia nationality suddenly appeared next to the humanoid puppet. This man casually put the puppet working for him into his portable space, then jumped out of the cockpit, went to the truck body behind, and lifted The hands poured out many ores of different colors out of thin air.
“Good guy, I actually met a colleague... No, he is probably the player who stole my mining team!”
For a while, Wang Zhifan judged that he had met the culprit. If the person is the culprit, then revenge is natural, but how to retaliate needs to be thought about.
"This person is probably from the Xia Kingdom. It would not be a good idea to kill him directly. If he works in the bureau, he will suffer a lot of losses. Moreover, the hatred between me and him is not big, so let's use it as a weapon. A person's way will heal his body."
With his mind set, Wang Zhifan took action immediately. (End of chapter)
