"Gold-mottled liquid-soft fungus?
Why would they be interested in that? "Mobley looked puzzled.
Ah Zhe shrugged handsomely. "Who knows?
Maybe they feel like they've made a lot of money lately and want to buy something to make up for it. Ha ha! "
Mobley shook his head. "Impossible.
It's not like you haven't seen that gang. How could they be so short-sighted?
Besides, they must know the value of the gold-mottled liquid-soft fungus. It's not something money can buy. "
Ah Zhe still looked indifferent. "What does that have to do with us?
They're just asking us for some information. Hey, isn't that a waste of my time picking up girls? "
Ignoring Ah Zhe's complaints, Mobley thought about it and said, "Go ask around.
This is the first time the Snow Silkworm Card Artisan Firm has asked us for something. If we can't even handle this, we won't be able to set our ally's mind at ease.
We need to demonstrate our strength. "
Ah Zhe tilted his head and thought about it before nodding. "That's true.
Mmmm, I'll keep an eye on it. "
Just then, Ah Zhe's gaze suddenly fell on something behind Mobley. The corners of his mouth suddenly curled up, and he chuckled in a low voice. "Captain, your sweetheart is here, so I won't stand in your way.
Ha, remember to confess. "
The expression on Mobley's face immediately became wonderful. Given Qing Qing's strength, how could she not have heard him from such a distance?
Ah Zhe looked pleased as he laughed and left.
"Miss Qing Qing, it's so late and you haven't slept?" Mobley turned around. His expression had already returned to normal, and he looked at Qing Qing with a slight smile as though nothing had happened.
It was hard to imagine such a cold and hard man acting like a gentleman.
Qing Qing's jade face was as still as an ancient well, and her somewhat hazy eyes seemed near yet far.
For some reason, seeing Qing Qing like that made Mobley feel a little lost.
"I wasn't asleep, so I got up to take a walk," Qing Qing said lightly, her voice as faint as smoke.
The bitterness in Mobley's heart grew, but he squeezed out a smile on his hard face. "Ha! Sleeping late isn't good for a woman's skin.
It looks like Old Mobley's hospitality wasn't good enough to keep Miss Qing Qing from sleeping well. "
Qing Qing gently shook her head and said softly, "Qing Qing is already overwhelmed by Captain Mo's hospitality. Your words make Qing Qing feel too ashamed to show her face." She then changed the subject. "I've heard that Captain Mo has already purchased the liquid extract of the purple fluorescent ore."
Speaking of proper business, Mobley's expression turned serious. "Yes, although it hasn't reached the amount that Miss Qing Qing mentioned, it's already one-tenth of it."
"Oh, it's enough to start preparing for the first phase." Qing Qing nodded calmly.
"Thank you for your trouble, Miss Qingqing," Mobley said seriously.
"Captain Mo is too polite. We are just taking what we need."
Qing Qing suddenly turned her head and stared at Mobley with her hazy, beautiful eyes. "I'm very curious. Why does Captain Mobley trust me so much?"
Under Qingqing's gaze, Mobley was unafraid and met her gaze.
Looking at this face that could not be considered beautiful, a rare trace of infatuation flashed in his eyes.
But that infatuation only lasted for a moment, and his gaze quickly recovered its clarity. Thinking back to what Qing Qing had just said about taking what we need, the bitterness in his heart deepened.
"Ha ha, although Old Mobley is slow-witted, he can still see that Miss Qing Qing isn't someone who makes empty promises.
Moreover, didn't Miss Qing Qing just say that?
Everyone takes what they need. "Mobley pretended to laugh heartily.
Qing Qing suddenly smiled sweetly, as beautiful and refined as a hundred flowers blooming at the same time. Mobley felt his eyes light up, and his gaze seemed to be firmly attracted by a magnet, unable to move.
"Captain Mo certainly won't regret this collaboration."
After countless torments in the dark, Chen Mu finally started to adapt little by little.
The pain was still there, but his consciousness was even firmer.
A state of tranquility was good for the consciousness, and if he could reach an extremely deep state of tranquility, it could even nourish the consciousness.
What Chen Mu valued most wasn't that, but he had discovered that once his consciousness could enter a state of tranquility, it could greatly reduce the pain.
Nothing could attract him more.
The time between the two waves of pain was extremely short, and to enter a state of tranquility in such a short time was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Although the pain was slightly weaker in the period between the two waves of pain, it was still as painful as the marrow of the heart.
Unfortunately, Chen Mu didn't have any other choice.
He started to grit his teeth, trying over and over to enter a deep state of tranquility.
Over and over again, he didn't know how many times.
The only thing that made him feel lucky was that no matter how jumbled a person's thoughts were, they wouldn't be able to give birth to any other distracting thoughts under such circumstances.
Moreover, Chen Mu had very few distracting thoughts.
In the process of groping his way into the state of tranquility, Chen Mu felt it was a little like entering the state of breath control.
When he had first entered the state of breath control, he had needed to keep trying until the frequency of the vibrations matched perfectly.
It was just that there were more and more disturbances, and the duration of each attempt was shorter.
Whenever he encountered a gap, Chen Mu would start trying desperately, and those attempts would always end in failure.
But it was a good thing he wouldn't regret it, since he wouldn't have any time to regret. The next wave of pain would drown him like a tide.
But every time a wave of pain passed and his consciousness steadied a little, he would start a new round of attempts.
There was no such thing as physical strength there, and there was no way to sleep under the pain.
Over and over again, Chen Mu didn't stop trying once.
He didn't know how many waves of pain he had experienced, and he didn't know how many attempts he had made, but Chen Mu finally started to gradually get the hang of it.
There were a few times when he entered a deep state of tranquility, and the relief of the pain was a kind of happiness in itself.
There was one time when he entered a deep state of tranquility, and he forcibly withstood five waves of pain before he was forced out of that state.
That made Chen Mu very excited!
In that hopelessly dark and silent world, it was doubtlessly a ray of hope that pierced through the darkness, although he didn't know what that ray of hope could actually bring him.
Chen Mu's efforts quickly bore fruit. He entered the state of deep tranquility more and more often, and his speed was getting faster and faster!
He didn't know why, but his consciousness seemed to be a lot firmer than before. Although he was still trembling under the assault of the pain, Chen Mu didn't feel any danger of collapse.
And, he didn't know if it was because his consciousness was firmer, but although the pain still pierced into his bones, it seemed to be a little less than before.
Or had his endurance increased?
Chen Mu thought rather helplessly.
Then, something strange finally happened.
Chen Mu once entered a deep state of tranquility, and after withstanding ten consecutive waves of attacks, there was finally a change in that dark and silent world!
An extremely thin and faint thread appeared in that dark world.
The thread was emitting an extremely faint glow, and it was only faintly visible.
Chen Mu was startled, and he immediately withdrew from the state of tranquility.
Almost at the same time, the thread disappeared.
What was that?
Was it the green thread in his body?
How could it appear here?
A series of questions appeared in Chen Mu's consciousness.
He couldn't wait to enter that state again.
Unfortunately, he didn't know if it was because he was too impatient, but it was hard for him to enter the state of deep tranquility.
Chen Mu quickly understood where the problem was, and he adjusted his state of mind.
When he once again entered the state of deep tranquility for more than ten waves, the green thread appeared again.
It was also very faint at first, only faintly visible, but as time passed, it became more and more clear.
That time, Chen Mu persisted in the state of deep tranquility for fifteen waves.
He finally saw the green thread clearly, and it really was the green thread in his body!
Although he didn't know why the green thread had appeared, Chen Mu thought it was an opportunity.
He wasn't afraid of any changes in that dark and silent world in front of him. Any change was better than no change!
This green thread finally brought a hint of color to this pitch-black world.
If it weren't in his body, he would certainly have liked the pale green glow.
Chen Mu had one more goal. He wanted to know what would happen if he could maintain the state of deep tranquility for a longer period of time.
He kept working toward that goal, and apart from that, he had nothing else to do.
Generally speaking, having no distractions often meant high efficiency.
He persevered longer and longer. Twenty waves, thirty waves …
The green thread became clearer, and Chen Mu could clearly see any part of it.
They were all tangled together, like a tangled mess.
Chen Mu noticed that it wasn't completely still, but was in a very slow state of motion.
And when he persisted for a hundred waves of deep tranquility, there was another change.
Red!
An incomparably bright red!
That was the color of blood!
There were also muscle tissues, blood vessels, and organs …
All kinds of colors appeared in the originally dark world, and Chen Mu was stunned to find that everything he was "seeing" seemed to be inside his own body!
He could clearly "see" how the green thread had pierced deep into his flesh.
It was like a parasitic vine, forming a huge net in his body, clinging to his organs, which looked abnormally terrifying.
Even with Chen Mu's strong psychological quality, even though he had entered the state of deep tranquility without sorrow or joy, he was still frightened by the scene in front of him!
With a sudden shudder, the scene in front of him suddenly shattered!
He was once again plunged into darkness.
Only …
