This is a mine cave with no mining lights, and there is no need to worry about running out of oxygen in the depths of the pit.

Horf led the way, and Xia Zuo and Rebecca followed behind him. They had just gotten off the hand-cranked railroad car and were headed to a branch of a cave that Horff had said, which contained the best ore he had ever found.

The three-meter-wide tunnel shone with bursts of cyan blue light, and from the corners of the edge of the tunnel and on the walls, it was covered with fluorescent mushrooms, which looked like fireflies were stuffed into the mushrooms.

"Green Lantern Mushroom", when Xia Zuo looked at one of them, the name appeared on it. In order to give players initial exposure to various life skills, almost all novice villages will have mines at the beginning of each game, and even more prosperous towns may not have them. "Green Lantern Mushroom" is no stranger to Xia Zuo, mostly in dark corners, and the game sets this mushroom in order to let players see the environment clearly.

Naturally, they can also be picked, and at that moment they will lose their light, and the description in the inventory reads "Mushrooms that provide a constant stream of light and metabolize oxygen for the Dark Caves". Because it's not a special blood replenishment item, HP will only increase by 1 after consumption. Overall, it doesn't have much picking value.

There are these mushrooms, and the oil lamp hanging from the waist of Horf at the front has never been lit unless it comes across a place where the "green lantern mushroom" does not grow.

"I'll walk when I get back, and I'll leave the railroad car to you, guest."

"Is that okay? That's a thank you. ”

Horf spoke enthusiastically to Xia Zuo, including taking the initiative to take him to the mining point of the best quality ore, and was not stingy at all, never afraid that the competitors at the moment would gain an advantage.

"I'm really sorry for you, Uncle Holf, take time out of your busy schedule."

"I'm not busy, and the people in the village don't buy weapons, they've just been stockpiling goods recently, so it's good to take this opportunity to practice my skills."

As he marched, Horf beckoned Rebecca, who nodded politely and bowed slightly.

The dwarf has a loyal personality, Xia Zuo is not surprised by this, and he does not suspect that Horf will lead him to see an inferior mine, and if he does not win, it will be the biggest humiliation of the dwarf.

Xia Zuo still misses the railway trolley that he just cranked in by hand, which is used to transport ore, which will be very convenient. When he arrived at the mining site, Xia Zuo would stay there, while Horf walked back, and the railway car continued to load Xia Zuo with ore, after all, he claimed to have mined a lot of money.

It didn't take long for the winding tunnel path to be seen, and the end of the road, as well as the crystallization of ore and other materials on the ground and stone walls, reflected in the light of the "green lantern mushroom", which was very beautiful.

"That's it." Horf turned around, took off the oil lamp on his waist, and handed it to Xia Zuo, "This is the best place I know about the mineral deposits, if the guests want to visit again, there are some places where the light is not enough, put the lamp away first." ”

Xia Zuo took the lamp.

Sure enough, Horf was right. Xia Zuo looked at it, the top of those ores all popped up about 95% of the quality, but after they were mined, the quality must be reduced, the highest quality iron ore in the blacksmith shop was only 80%, and in the process of Holfe mining, the quality of the iron ore dropped by 15%, how good can he be?

"Your pickaxe, are you sure it's still there?" Before leaving, Horf asked worriedly.

I chose a pickaxe from the blacksmith shop to lend Xia Zuo before, and he is like magic, and he is currently empty-handed.

Xia Zuo smiled and nodded, opened the backpack bar in the field of vision, and selected "Iron Pickaxe" → "Use". The hand automatically reached into the waist bag, and magically pulled out the pickaxe, obviously the front end of the pickaxe was wider than the diameter of the waist bag, as for how to take it out.

"How to do it, it's really confusing~" Holf scratched his head.

"Aren't you touching?" Xia Zuo weighed the pickaxe and was eager to try.

"Huh?"

“... Don't mind, just leave it to me next, Uncle Blacksmith will go on his own. ”

"Hmm......" Horf looked the thin Xia Zuo up and down again, "can it really work?" Mining is very laborious. ”

But after saying that, he immediately coughed back his worry, "Anyway, it's some witchcraft or something, your mining is definitely not down-to-earth mining." ”

Xia Zuo smiled and nodded, embarrassed to say directly.

"It's really annoying, I don't want to see that process anymore, if I see my son want you to be so lazy, I have to beat him." Holf turned away in displeasure, leaving the two of them where they were.

Rebecca smiled wryly and waved goodbye to his back.

"Don't you have to go about your business?" Xia Zuo said to Rebecca.

"Entrusted by the village chief... In addition, I also want to apologize, Your Excellency Xia Zuo's trip in the village, I will show you the way, and if you need it, just ask. ”

Looking at Rebecca's stubborn expression, Xia Zuo couldn't help but recall the first time he saw her, the tough girl who was forced by the explosive scroll, so he didn't refuse, and it shouldn't take much time here.

"Iron ore, quality 96%" Xia Zuo faced a convex rock with alternating metallic luster and lime gray, and pinched the pickaxe in his hand and hesitated, this pickaxe looks relatively new, with a durability of 94%, and it should not have been used a few times.

In front of the ore, an icon of "gathering" also appeared, which seemed to be as simple as a click, just like when the anvil was forged.

"What are you going to do? "Rebecca obeyed the order to stand back for a distance, so as the gravel would fly up and hit her, "I've only watched the villagers mine a few times, and it was undoubtedly a manual job, and it was necessary to break the hard rock and sift out the ore that could be used..."

"Give it a try." Xia Zuo winked at "Gathering", and his body moved uncontrollably.

Lift the pickaxe, knock down, lift the pickaxe, knock down...... The crisp crash sounded in an orderly manner, and small sparks erupted from the tip of the pickaxe.

But these few times did not change the appearance of the iron ore, and did not even cause a crack in it.

"Isn't that okay? The strength is too light, Your Excellency Xia Zuo, do you need my help? Don't look at me weak, I often do some physical work......"

In the middle of Rebecca's speech, Xia Zuo struck the fifth hit, which was also the number of times she tapped the "go process" when playing the game before...

The huge rock shattered in the cold, and in the fragments, three iron ores of the same size (61%, 60%, 63%) rolled out.

A message came from the left side of the "Mining XP +12" vision, as before, for every iron ore obtained, there would be four points of experience.

Rebecca was stunned, that's too weird, why can the ore be broken out with a slight stroke of five times?!

"The level is still too low..."Xia Zuo frowned, "This quality is not as good as the iron ore from Uncle Blacksmith, but if you increase your experience points, you will be able to mine higher and higher quality iron ore." ”

Xia Zuo grinned toothily, because there were raw ores around waiting for him to excavate.
