"Mining XP +12"

"Mining XP +16"

"Mining XP +8"

……

Each time Xia Zuo completes mining, his experience points increase by a multiplier of 4, and he drops between 2 and 5 ores each time.

This completely subverted Rebecca's impression that the villagers would have to spend dozens of minutes on the ore obtained by Xia Zuo's five strokes of the pickaxe, with an expression of disbelief, seeing that the abundant ore in this branch cave was getting less and less.

They are not piled up on the ground, and they are all put into the bag by Xia Zuo.

"Although I told the village chief that the things I want to take away will not be packed in my bag, but this is just a transit, a transit, and I will take it all out and hand it over to Uncle Blacksmith in the end, please Rebecca, can you turn a blind eye."

"Oh..."

Natsuzo, who was excitedly wielding an iron pickaxe, pleaded intently, and Rebecca responded in a distraction.

"Mining XP +20"

"Mining Level Upgraded to Lv2"

This long-awaited piece of information was finally seen by Xia Zuo, and a faint golden light appeared from his hands holding the iron pickaxe, which was an upgrade effect.

"Ah~ Finally." Xia Zuo sighed, feeling that he couldn't stop moving.

Rebecca thought that the light was related to Xia Zuo's mining, and sure enough, he was really doing something unusual all the time.

……

"Mining Level Upgraded to Lv3"

The upper limit of the mining level is 30, and now it is only dealing with low-end iron ore, and after rising two levels, the quality of the iron ore dropped has increased from the initial early 60s to about 70, and the change is quite obvious.

Xia Zuo paused the pickaxe in his hand, and he didn't blink at another piece of raw ore in front of him that was 97% of quality "Gathering" option.

"What a waste!" he suddenly realized. Looking around left and right, the original abundant high-quality mineral deposits are now almost half visible to the naked eye.

Obviously, my current mining is just to brush up on experience points, why should I use high-quality mines to practice.

Xia Zuo, who had an epiphany, snapped his fingers and immediately retracted the iron pickaxe into his bag. Turning to look at Rebecca, she gestured with her thumb behind her shoulder with a "come with me" expression.

"Your Excellency Xia Zuo, are you tired? Want to take a break? ”

"No, let's go find some junk mines to practice, and when my mining level is high enough, we can come back to scourge high-quality ore."

Although she couldn't understand what the other party was saying, Rebecca of course chose to follow thoughtfully and thoughtfully.

The two returned from the branch road, and after arriving at the tracks, Xia Zuo was the first to jump on the hand-cranked rail car.

When they came, Xia Zuo and Horf were on one side, respectively pressing down on the seesaw-like lever to drive the car forward. Xia Zuo was tired enough, completely inferior to the muscular dwarf, and was looked down upon by the blacksmith uncle, thinking that it was understandable that he could not chisel ore.

Continuing inside, Xia Zuo thought to himself that this time he should rock the car by himself, and Rebecca rested on the side as a quiet girl, but this was not the case.

Rebecca didn't listen to the advice at all, and volunteered to help, taking Holf's previous position.

The track car kept creaking in its tracks, and the frequency of the remote pole undulating had exceeded Xia Zuo's normal speed, and he began to lose his breath, while Rebecca on the opposite side didn't sweat a drop.

"I didn't expect... Whew~Whew~"

"Huh? What's wrong? Your Excellency Xia Zuo. ”

"No, huh~ no, what..."

Xia Zuo was embarrassed to say this, his physical strength was not even comparable to Rebecca, or he really shouldn't underestimate the other party.

After a long time in front of the rail car, the light in front of it gradually decreased, because the number of "green lantern mushrooms" was decreasing.

"Rebe, Ka, do you know, the mine, the inside, which side, the ore, the quality is lower..."

Xia Zuo's hand has begun to weaken, I really don't know where I got the strength to kick the mountainside and take off when I jumped off the cliff before, could it be given by the game backstage? Gradually, it doesn't matter whether he participates in the lever swing or not.

"I don't know about this~" Rebecca made a gesture of looking up to recall, and also freed the tip of her right finger and nodded her lips, she can operate the remote rod with only her left hand.

"Really... Then, I can only casually, find a place, look at a few more places, I should be able to see the value of the quality. Xia Zuo, who didn't know how to recover his strength, spoke coherently.

"By the way, the ore in the mine that the people in the village don't often go to, the ore there must be the worst," Rebecca suddenly had an idea, remembering a certain branch of the mine, "I know a place, when I was a child, I heard from the adults that the branch cave was excavated not long ago, because of the bad texture of the ore, and then it was abandoned, and so far Uncle Holfe, and the people in the village who are usually called to mine, have not been there. ”

"Oh~ That place sounds good, just go there!"

As soon as Xia Zuo's voice fell, Rebecca bent down and pulled up the hand brake of the rail car, and with a sharp brake, four small iron wheels rubbed loudly on the track, and sparks flew everywhere.

Because he let go and was lazy, Xia Zuo didn't grasp the lever steadily, was thrown out by inertia, and hit the front of the trunk with his back.

"Hiss, pain, pain!" Xia Zuo bent down and touched his back, and also saw a message of HP-0.2 coming from the left side of his field of vision.

"Ah, are you alright? Your Excellency Xia Zuo," Rebecca stepped forward to help herself, "It's already here, and I pulled the brakes, I'm really sorry." ”

"No need to apologize... It's because I didn't hold it steady..."Xia Zuo waved her hand so that she didn't have to help.

The branch of the cave that the two of them went to next was, as Rebecca said, rarely frequented. The number of "green lantern mushrooms" has plummeted, and the rusty tools are occasionally stepped on when walking, and the remains of leftover food that can be seen by the workers in the past have not been cleaned up, which is completely different from the high-quality mineral cave just now.

Because he gradually couldn't see the road ahead, Xia Zuo lit the oil lamp on his waist. The oil lamp in the village is a magic spell mark provided by the village chief, as long as you turn the switch to make the spell mark coincide, you can cast a small flame, ignite the wick, a very convenient tool, the magic power injected into the spell mark is limited, and it will be consumed cleanly, such oil lamps are also sold in the metropolis.

"Lighting mushrooms also need nutrients and cultivation, and after no one comes here, there are not so many "lighting mushrooms" that grow naturally."

Listening to Rebecca, they called "green lantern mushrooms" a little differently, Xia Zuo remembered her previous name for "green light mushrooms", she went to that forest to pick healing mushrooms and herbs, is it to help her sick father?

"We've arrived, Your Excellency Xia Zuo." Rebecca reminded that there was a dead end ahead, "This is the end of the old village people's excavation, and there should be a lot of ore on the stone wall that is not favored...... Why did His Excellency Xia Zuo give up the good ores introduced by Uncle Holf to seek these inferior products? ”

"I'm sorry to keep you with me, I have my own plans, maybe you will be confused to say it."

Rebecca shook her head, feeling that she shouldn't have asked, did she hear fewer difficult words before, "Where, I will still follow you, just do what Your Excellency Xia Zuo wants." ”

The space at the end of the cave is relatively spacious, and it can be seen that the villagers who were mining at that time also worked hard to carve out such a large space, but there is still nothing to gain, and there are only four or five "green lantern mushrooms" around, and it is impossible to see what is on the wall without oil lamps.

"Haha! It's okay~" Xia Zuo came to a wall, took a closer look at the lantern, and when he saw the mottled ore on it, it showed information.

"Iron ore, quality 14%"

The surroundings are similar, and there is even a single-digit quality value, which is perfect for these cannon fodder to use to increase their experience.

"Then I'll go!" Xia Zuo took out an iron pickaxe.

"Your Excellency Xia Zuo is busy first, and I'll come when I go." Rebecca suddenly remembered something and ran away.

After a while, she held a "green lantern mushroom" dug up with the soil in both hands, and put it near Xia Zuo, as long as the roots are not pulled up, it will not be extinguished, and the brightness of one is not as bright as one-tenth of that of an oil lamp, but it would be nice to have a few more.

Xia Zuo had already been excavated, and Rebecca kept running in and out, putting more and more "green lantern mushrooms" into the cave, and her vision brightened, which was enough to blow the oil lamp.

Xia Zuo thanked Rebecca, who smiled and shook his head, and waited quietly.

At this time, Xia Zuo no longer picked up the ore that fell to the ground, and lowered it after mining, it was no different from ordinary stones, and there was no need to pack it and bring it back, so that he could concentrate on only mining.

……

[Mining XP +24]

[Mining Level Upgraded to Lv4]

……

"Mining Level Upgraded to Lv5"

……

[Mining Level Upgraded to Lv6]

The left side of the field of vision is already full of these numbers, all of which are the results of Xia Zuo's more than two hours of mining, and he is still enjoying it, as happy as if he has earned it.

The quality of low-end iron ore is decreasing and decreasing, and the iron ore excavated by 14% quality iron ore is basically the same as 14%, and now go back to dig those good quality ores, maybe you can dig out more than 90% of the iron ore!

Rebecca, who was sitting against the wall, had already dozed off, and the screeching of the pickaxe could not disturb her.

"Huh?" Xia Zuo glanced at the somewhat mutilated iron pickaxe suspiciously (durability 57%), "I have to go back and dig some high-quality mines before it is consumed...... What is it? ”

Xia Zuo, who was about to continue digging a few more times, found that in the wall pit he had mined, a corner of what seemed to be a huge crystal was exposed, which was very clear, as if it was frozen, and the reason why he felt so was that he clearly saw that in this crystal, the head of a beast was frozen, like a giant dog.

"Could it be!?" Xia Zuo exclaimed, this is only one possibility - "Amber", the sealed ancient monster, is one of the features of the game.

He immediately extinguished the oil lamp to prevent the light from shining in, but it was too late, and the beast head in the crystal suddenly opened its eyes and stared at the light emitted by the "green lantern mushroom" in the mine. And let the crystal freeze it, with a shattering sound.
