Chapter 28 Purchase of New Weapons
One day later, Duan Ming woke up from his sleep with the roar of the Fire Rock Beast.
When he walked out of the bedroom, Duan Ming's first reaction was: "Is there something wrong with my eyes? Why does this Fire Rock Beast look bigger?"
He hurriedly checked the information of the Fire Rock Beast and was ecstatic!
Interstellar creature: Large Fire Rock Beast.
Current level: Level 4.
Experience value: 4476 points/5000 points.
Body length: 1034 meters.
Skills: Absolute obedience, building link.
Trust value: 89/100.
Talent: Swallowing rocks, directional evolution, increased movement speed.
It turned out that the size of the Fire Rock Beast finally broke through the 1,000-meter mark, and it would be upgraded to level 5 in a few days!
In a very good mood, Duan Ming opened the chat area and saw a lot of discussions about himself.
"Have you heard? Didn't Zhang Qiang say before he died that there was a huge star beast in our star field? The Earth Union issued a notice saying that it was just a star beast base of a certain pioneer!"
"The star beast base in our star field? Isn't that Duan Ming?"
"Boss Duan Ming is now in front of the same mining area as me. His star beast base looks like it has several thousand square meters!"
"No wonder he gave up Yishen Star in the first place. He was definitely well prepared!"
"Do you think Duan Ming will attack us after he develops to a certain extent? A huge star beast wandering under his feet can kill us in a few minutes?"
Looking at these discussions, Duan Ming frowned slightly. According to this trend, he might become the "public enemy" of this star field.
"Don't guess blindly. If Duan Ming wanted to attack us earlier, why would he wait until now? Even if we all get together, we probably can't be his opponent, right?"
The chat area was silent for a while, and someone began to call Duan Ming out to make a promise.
"Boss Duan Ming, can you please say something to help us feel more confident?"
"Yes, Duan Ming, I don't believe you are that kind of person!"
When things got to this point, Duan Ming knew that he had to say something.
"I am Duan Ming. First of all, my Fire Rock Beast is not what everyone says. It is only just one thousand square meters now."
As soon as this was said, everyone spoke out.
"Boss is boss! One thousand is just "just" for boss!"
"Versailles, Boss Duan Ming deserves the title!"
The muscles at the corners of Duan Ming's mouth trembled slightly twice, and he continued: "Secondly, I have no intention of expanding outward. As long as others don't provoke me, I will not attack anyone. You can rest assured about this."
With this promise, the pioneers breathed a sigh of relief.
"I told you! Duan Ming is not that kind of person at all! Where is the person who just threw dirty water? Is that a slap in the face?"
But this is not Duan Ming's last sentence: "But if someone provokes me, I will definitely not be polite!"
I will not offend others if they do not offend me. If they offend me, I will beat you to death!
This is Duan Ming's way of being.
...
Half a month has passed, and Duan Ming's Fire Rock Beast has also been upgraded to level five, with a body length of 1,300 meters, and has become a "BOSS"-like existence in the mining area.
Other pioneers also have some bases that can dock small spacecraft, which means that this star field can trade independently.
The increase in the size of the Fire Rock Beast is undoubtedly a good thing, but there is always a disadvantage. The huge size also makes the Fire Rock Beast too big a target. It is difficult to support the defense of the Fire Rock Beast with only the cnidocyte turret and the laser turret.
Duan Ming needs to add some new defense methods!
"Is there any brother who is good at developing weapons?"
Duan Ming asked casually in the chat area.
After a while, someone responded.
"What kind of weapon do you need?"
After a little thought, Duan Ming replied: "The larger the caliber, the better, the more powerful the better, and the lighter the better."
These three points determine the comprehensive cost-effectiveness of an interstellar weapon and are the criteria for ordinary people to choose weapons.
After the request was made, Duan Ming did not get a response. It was understandable that it had only been a short time, and what powerful weapons could the pioneers develop?
With a smile, Duan Ming closed the chat area and prepared to log on to the Earth Union Trade Network to buy some suitable weapons from Earth.
"Ding Ding!"
A sound rang out from the voice call system. After a simple check, Duan Ming found that someone had sent a friend request to him.
Looking at the other party's ID, Duan Ming really had no impression. He wanted to refuse, but the other party sent a temporary call invitation.
The call was connected, and a capable female voice sounded on the other side.
"Hello, I just saw in the chat area that you want to buy some weapons. I believe I am your best choice."
The capable voice and confident aura made Duan Mingsheng curious.
"Oh? Then tell me, what kind of weapons do you have?"
The other party was silent for a moment, and sent a temporary file. Duan Ming opened the file, and his expression instantly became more serious.
This is simply a list of a small arsenal!
Handheld laser cannons, single machine gun turrets, compound machine gun turrets, all kinds of them are available!
At the bottom of the list, Duan Ming's eyes flashed with a glimmer, and he took a fancy to a weapon.
"125mm caliber rail gun turret, do you have it in stock?"
The other party's voice sounded again.
"Yes, but the price of this weapon is quite expensive. I don't know if you can afford it."
Duan Ming smiled. In the past half month, he has sold a lot of compressed metal. Now the money in his account is enough for him to live freely for more than ten years even if he returns to Earth.
"Tell me your price."
"One 125mm caliber rail gun, two hundred thousand."
After a rough calculation in his mind, the price was fair, Duan Ming asked again: "How many units do you have in stock now?"
"There are two left."
Without hesitation, Duan Ming made a decision directly.
"I want both of them!"
"No problem, but you need to pay for the transportation."
Transportation? Why is it so troublesome for Duan Ming? Isn't the fire rock beast under his feet just a mobile medium-sized "spaceship"?
"I have accepted your friend request, please send your location."
The other party was obviously stunned, but still sent his own positioning coordinates as Duan Ming said.
Opening the interstellar wrist and using the navigation radar to determine the distance between the two parties, Duan Ming's mouth corners slightly raised. The other party was also around this mining area, and it would only take a few hours to rush over!
"No need to be so troublesome for transportation, I will fly over now."
From the other party's reaction, she was shocked.
"Fly over here? Do you already have your own spaceship?"
Duan Ming did not answer her question, but said the last sentence and hung up the call: "See you in three hours."
