fourteen

After lunch, I re-entered the game, followed the address on the bronze medal, asked NPCs all the way, and ran around and around to a desolate street.

Teapot Street, I now know why it's called Teapot Street. Its entrance is elongated and narrow. It's like the spout of a teapot.

But once you walk in, you'll find a large clearing of land. This is the teapot belly.

There are no residents living in Teapot Street, and the houses here emit a stench of gunpowder. And some of the houses were dark, as if they had been burned by fire. As for the rest of the houses, they had already collapsed into ruins.

I'm walking through the rubble now, step by step, to the factory in the center of Teapot Street, the factory that has half collapsed. When I got to the door, I began to hesitate to knock, because if I chose to knock, I would first have to rummage through the rubble to find out where the door was.

Suddenly, "Coax! ~~~~", I was taken aback. At the same time, my ears were buzzing.

The other half of the factory also collapsed in front of me with the sound of explosions, and the poor factory was now completely finished.

Great, now I was laid off before I could learn the deputy position. I don't have to think about whether to knock or not.

"Boy! Are you here to learn art? A voice came from the ruins.

I turned around, and there seemed to be a small figure in the billowing smoke from the ruins.

"It was supposed to be, but the factory is gone." I said.

"Hahahaha boy, the factory is gone, and it can be rebuilt! If you miss today, you won't have a chance to work as a demolitionist. The shadow continued, and slowly walked out.

Demoman? It sounded like an imposing name, but I gradually became interested. At this time, the man in the smoke had already walked out and walked in front of me. It was a goblin with a black beard and black hair, and wore a tattered black outfit. Oh...... Sorry, maybe they weren't meant to be black.

"My name is Rick, Rick Ben Bara Doha." He held out a pitch-black hand.

I clenched my hands in fear: "My name is LAI, YUANLAI." Master Rick, this is my ...... Uh, apprenticeship certificate. "I pulled out the bronze medal.

He reached out and took it, and threw it into the rubble without looking. "We don't have time to continue to be polite, come on, there's still a lot of work to do."

Job? And that's where it begins?

After a quarter of the incense, I realized that the original job was to rebuild the factory. Moreover, it seems that the reason why Master Rick accepted me was because he happened to run into such a bad bunch of things, and he usually never accepted people.

"That's too dangerous!" Master Rick sat on the ruins and instructed me to do the work as he said, "I don't usually take people, I don't want to see my student killed, and I have to be responsible for his death." I-won't be responsible for your cowardice! Got it? LAI！ ”

"Yes, Master Rick! I am not afraid of death, and no matter what the cause of my death, I firmly told the Craftsmen's Association Apprentice Human Rights Investigation Team that came to investigate that it was due to my own problems. I said as I struggled to sort out the tools that could be used in the rubble.

The Apprentice Human Rights Investigation Team was the most mentioned word in Master Rick's mouth, and there were some swear words that came along with it.

"Hahahaha, really, how do you say that Chinese saying: children can be taught, yes, children can be taught." Master Rick said happily, "I'll take you!" It's hard to find an apprentice who isn't afraid of death these days. ”

I suddenly had a bad premonition, the apprentice who is not afraid of death? Does that mean my life is in danger here?

Life aside, being an apprentice to Master Rick was no easy task, and it took me three days to help him rebuild the factory. During this time, I learned the sub-professions of carpenter, mason, blacksmith, etc. without being taught. It's been three days, and my experience hasn't improved at all, and my confidence to stay here stems from my curiosity about the mysterious sub-profession of Demolitionist, and running to the supermarket every night to see her smile. So far, Master Rick hasn't revealed anything I should study, and I'm still owed a lot of gold at the sub-employment agency. This really doesn't bode well.

As the staff of the Associate Employment Agency said, Master Rick is one of the most dangerous people in Ranfeng City. Because of his danger, the lord of the city even granted him a special area for him to study. This is what is famous - Teapot Street.

There is only one project that Master Rick has studied - explosives.

Behind him was the strong support of Windfeng City Lord Hodley. Master Rick has been fond of explosives since he was a child, and he is an alternative goblin. As an adult, he didn't wander around doing all kinds of business like other goblins, he devoted himself to all kinds of explosives. The ambitious young Hodley valued his skills and recruited him to his command, providing him with a large amount of money. and conferred on him the title of Grand Master. The reward for his efforts is also huge, under his technical guidance, Hodley's musket team and steel cannon team are invincible, and Hodley has finally become the overlord of this force - the city lord of Lanfeng City.

In this way, all kinds of bombs were born under his research and used in various places. Fireworks factory? Yes, the place could explode at any time, an average of seven or eight times a month, since the worst time when the warehouse where the gunpowder was stored was blown up, and the fireworks danced in the air for a whole night. It is nicknamed the Fireworks Factory. But none of this detracted from Master Rick's reputation: he was so good that he didn't even dare to reveal the recipe for the best explosives. It was undoubtedly one of the most terrible weapons.

After I had done everything I could to rebuild a factory for Master Rick, that afternoon, Master Rick directed me to move barrel after barrel of raw materials into the new factory. He himself brought in some sophisticated instruments.

"I'm very happy with your performance, listen up kid. A class every morning to tell the recipe for an explosive. As for how to make it and how to use it, it depends on your understanding. "Master Rick is very happy with the new building, and it looks like he's going to teach me something.

In front of a large table, he pulled out three small jars containing yellow, white, and red powder.

"Listen, these things are very dangerous." Master Rick said as he put on a hard hat for himself. "It's a pity that this is the set of protective equipment, you have to be smart, I don't want you to be blown up in the first class."

Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Hehe, don't worry about my kids. I'll teach you the simplest explosives first, the ratio is 9:17:1, 9 parts of yellow stone phosphorus plus 17 parts of sun-dried bone meal, and finally 1 part of fire agent. Master Rick showed me as he spoke, and he arranged and mixed a little bit of powder in this proportion. Rick's primary explosives were made in this way, and its advantage was that it was low in price and powerful, but of course it also had a fatal drawback: instability. ”

With that, Master Rick wrapped the powder in paper and threw it out the door.

"Coax!" With a bang, a large crater was blown out of the open space outside, and black smoke was emitting from the pit.

That's great! This scene instantly appeared in my mind: in a sea of people, oh not strange mountains and strange mountains, I was riding a Harley with a cigar in my mouth, and my body was full of all kinds of grenades and bombs. There was a boom everywhere, and the monsters were flipped on their backs by one of my bombs......

"I'm going to teach you this one of the explosives today, huh. It's time for me to experiment, and the building is ready. You can also go to free activities such as leveling. Remember to keep coming to class tomorrow. Master Rick said.

"Master, where can you find the three raw materials you mentioned?" I hurriedly asked.

"Oh yes, I haven't told you about this yet. Stone phosphorus can be found in dark, damp places, such as the walls of caves, and you can dig them up with a pickaxe. Bone meal is the corpse of various animals, monsters or people, and you have to extract the bones before the corpse disappears, and then find tools to grind them into powder. Fire-making agents are not easy to find, but inferior fire-making agents can be refined by finding fire primordial stones on monsters that attack with low-level fire attributes, and good fire-making agents need to be such as salamander teeth, fire-breathing horns, and the best fire-making agent, the heart of a fire dragon, and so on. ”

Master Rick paused and said, "As for the production method, you saw it all just now. Let me remind you that studying with me is a graduation project. Otherwise I wouldn't have given you the name Demolitionist. Now you go, go make explosives, my child. ”

I thanked the master and breathed a sigh of relief. I've finally gotten started with explosives, and it's time to practice.

I'm just going to find these materials. Once you've made explosives, it's time to blow up monsters as much as I dreamed of.

I sped out of Master Rick's "fireworks" factory and out of Teapot Street. Thick parchment paper used to bandage explosives was bought at the grocery store. Then went to the pharmacy and pestered the boss to buy one of their grinders and scales. Now that the tools are available, it's time to get the materials.

First of all, stone phosphorus, this kind of thing should go to the cave. It's best to get the bone powder, pay attention when you kill the monster, and take the bones away. The hard part is the fire agent. Must be a fire attribute of the monster, fire attribute.

When I opened my friend, I was surprised to find that the Nightcrawler was actually online, and he had already completed 2 turns at level 30. His profession is clearly written - Shield Guardian. There is no word for apprenticeship. I hurriedly sent a message.

"HI, nocturnal beast, why don't I see you all day long, you still upgrade so fast."

"Oh, you should know by my name. I'm an all-night maniac. He replied.

"I want to ask you something, near Lanfeng's main city, what are the fire attribute monsters below level 20?" I asked.

"In the mine cave of Worm Mountain, there are land demons below the second floor, all of which are fire attributes. But now it may be deeper, and the upper floors are occupied by miners. ”

Worm Mountain Cave? I thanked the Nightcrawler and pondered.

Caves, Enshi phosphorus. Monsters, bone meal. Fire attribute - haha all. I didn't expect that the three ingredients could be hit in the same place, which is great.

I asked the guards for the exit of the west gate of the huge city, which was so big that I ran for a full two hours to get out of the west gate.

When I went out of the west gate, I was greeted by fields and dirt roads. Numerous people hunted down all the experienced things in the fields. And my target is the insect mountain in the distance.

Why is Worm Mountain called Worm Mountain? Could it be that the mountains are full of bugs? I've heard that it's the area with the fewest female players. It probably has something to do with its name. Worm Mountain Worm Mountain, except for the insects are mine caves, beauties don't like to go to the swarthy cave to see a group of sweaty orc miners.

Walking on this country road, my mood is full of joy. The road was full of people, including a large number of miners.

"May I ask if you are also going to the Worm Mountain Mine?" A dark orc asked, seeing the pickaxe I was holding.

I do have a miner's pickaxe, the one I used to clear the ruins of the fireworks factory. But I don't use it to mine, but to mine phosphorus.

"That's right, dear friend. I'm going to the Worm Mountain Mine. I replied honestly.

The orc held out his black hand, "My name is Dahl, and I think we can be company." ”

I already think of him, he's the orc who got ahead of me in the deputy agency. I didn't care about holding his dirty hands, and I didn't even frown. "My name is Yuan."

Such an act clearly moved him. He said excitedly, "You know what? Although many newbies like to mine in the first and second floors of the mines, the update speed there is too slow. And the quality is low. ”

Speaking of this, he blocked one side of his mouth with his hand and whispered to me: "I know that there is a bonanza below the fourth floor, I have been there, I still remember!" With that, he looked at me with a delightful face, and I was looking at his honest and honest thick lips closing one by one, looking at his thick body, and I thought: he was born to be a miner!

Well, to be honest, if you want to go dozens of meters underground, it's not a bad thing to have an extra partner, and it's such a self-acquainted partner.

In online games, a series of boring things such as fighting monsters, mining, and practicing skills will cause people's desire to make friends much higher than in reality. In reality, almost everyone in a wealthy society has already reached the realm of "forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes" that Zhuangzi hopes to see. This is also the reason why sociologists advocate playing more games.

Look at my parents, my grandparents, they all met in the game. Someone described this society like this: If your lover is not your classmate, then he must be your netizen.

Dahl is my new netizen, under his enthusiastic introduction, in my patient listening. I feel that our friendship has endured forever.

Of course, with a friend, the journey seems to be much faster. While Dahl was talking and laughing, we arrived at the first mine in Worm Mountain.
