The small private business jet took off from Aircrew Base 131 with Chen Fei and Zuo Gengming on board, heading south. The Zuo Family's rare earth mine was located on the Flower State Peninsula along the east coast of North America and had changed owners four times, being mined for nearly two hundred years. Initially, it was operated as a copper-iron mine with a small amount of silver ore. The annual output wasn't significant and had been intermittent. Later, when rare earth elements were discovered, the extensive mining operations ceased. After being sealed for over a decade, they began the meticulous process of mining. As a resource that has been long scarce, the price of rare earth elements continued to rise. The profit-maximizing Zuo Family was in no rush to excavate their ancestral industry haphazardly. From the small private airport where the business jet landed, they traversed over thirty kilometers of wheat fields before plunging into the hilly area. The mine was located at the edge of the agricultural area, and the nearby farmers had lodged repeated complaints about pollution from mining. Even though the Zuo Family had purchased pollution control systems and established green belts to isolate dust and wastewater, the complaints never stopped. In the end, the Zuo Family, firm in their resolve, simply bought out all the nearby farms at a high price, and that was the end of it! In reality, the farmers had lost a substantial amount during futures trading and leveraged the pretense of pollution to fleece the Zuo Family. Otherwise, the mine would have been complained into bankruptcy a long time ago. The environment surrounding the rare earth mine looked no different from most of the aircrew bases on the front lines against the Mutants, except there were no Mutants nearby. Occasionally, a few marine Mutants would land on the peninsula's coastline, causing minor trouble, but the local residents were not concerned. Aquatic Species became significantly less threatening when they came ashore, reducing their menace tenfold, and even if they managed to flee back to sea, they would be tracked by the Coast Guard sonar. Just one guided torpedo, bang, and that was the end of them. Water conducts the shock waves far better than air does; the same charge magnifies the impact several times over in water. Chen Fei got out of the dust-covered four-wheel drive vehicle that had bounced its way to the rare earth mine, splattered with mud and muck. "Good lord, what a terrible road!" Chen Fei stepped out of the car, feeling quite shaken up. Xiao Jiu descended from the sky and landed on his shoulder. It had flown the entire way and didn't suffer the jolting ride. Zuo Gengming said with a tinge of regret, "We had a helicopter, but it's out on another assignment." Because they had arrived in haste and the mine's helicopter was out unexpectedly, they had to endure this rough ride. Ever since entering the agricultural zone, the clay and stone roads predominated: covered in dust on dry days and caked in mud on rainy days—with only agricultural and freight vehicles coming and going, one could forget about seeing a wide and smooth asphalt road. "Welcome, Young Master Zuo, and Mr. Chen Fei." The manager hired by the Zuo Family had been eagerly waiting at the mine's entrance, ready to attentively host the bosses from afar. "Mr. Chen, how about you rest a bit, grab something to eat, and then we head over there." Zuo Gengming gestured in the direction of the pit filled with old mining equipment. He too was feeling dizzy and headachy from the bumpy ride. "Sure! Something simple will do." Chen Fei nodded. He didn't have much of an appetite anyway; sandwiches and hot dogs would suffice. The mine's manager said, "We have a chef here who cooks Eastern cuisine." He had made thorough preparations well in advance. The mine's chef was from Annan. Chen Fei, who thought he might have a nice little surprise, looked at a table full of cold dishes and fried chicken...Well! It seemed that one shouldn't hold out too much hope when far from home. Zuo Gengming was eating with relish. Seeing Chen Fei's leisurely pace, he asked quizzically, "Not to your taste?" "Hmm! It's alright!" After all, one must give face to the host's efforts. Good Lord, this Dog System is doing this on purpose! As soon as it saw the mountain-like scrap metal, it immediately lifted the restrictions. 10,000 tons of metal a day means 10,000 Energy Points can be exchanged. Opening the "Skill Shop" to take a look. Sure enough... it's been waiting right here! 1. Energy Points Storage Upgrade (+10000): 10,000 points 2. Asteroid Annihilation Cannon: 99999999 Energy Points 3. Precision Screw Technique: 100 Energy Points 4. Basic Microwave Emitter (upgradable): 1,000 Energy Points 5.

The Dog System clearly wants to trap Energy Points, digging a hole and just waiting for me to jump in. Chen Fei rolled his eyes, this is too much! The current Energy Points storage can't avoid being upgraded, who said "Metal Devouring" just so happened could fill up the Energy Points in one go! After breakfast.
