The dark night sky was intertwined with silver lightning from time to time, changing at will from extremely dark to extremely bright. The wind and rain are like a rock, wantonly ravaging everything in the world, and the earth has long been muddy.

In the mud where there was nowhere to stay, a black donkey walked slowly, and there was not a single hoof sound in the wind, rain, thunder and lightning. The black donkey was considered to be strong, but at this time the fur of his whole body was drenched, dripping with water, and he slowly moved his four hooves with his head hanging down, and he had no donkey temper at all.

Beside the black donkey, a young man walked alone with a hat. No one knew whether the boy was reluctant to ride the black donkey, or whether he was sorry that the beast was too small to bear, after all, no matter how strong a donkey was, was indeed too weak compared to cattle and horses. The wind was still strong, the rain was not stopped, and a man and a donkey walked into the depths of Mangshan unhurriedly, and gradually disappeared into the night and wind and rain.

An unnamed cave in the depths of Mangshan is very lively at this time. The cave was lit by torches as bright as day, and it was densely packed with people. People brandished their pickaxes and slammed them against the walls of the cave, repeating themselves in a cycle in the smoke and dust. Although there are many people in the cave, it is not noisy, and the sound of clanging is the main theme, and occasionally there are cheers, most likely to dig up better quality ore.

The online game "Iron Blood" was officially launched yesterday, and most of the first batch of players who came in understood the importance of time and devoted themselves to the cause of practicing and upgrading as soon as possible. Who knows that Fang entered the rivers and lakes, but he had a sword in his heart and no sword in his hand. All players were stunned to find that their backpacks were empty, with only 10 copper coins. A dignified hero, you can't fight monsters empty-handed, right? Of course, there are always players who don't believe in evil, but the players who seem to be powerful and powerful, with the pitiful attack power and HP of the level 0 character, no one can single-handedly beat the weakest hare outside the village...... Outside each novice village, there were dozens of hare killings on the first day of the service.

Fortunately, 10 copper coins are not much, but they can just buy iron picks, medicine hoes, axes and other utensils. As a result, the great rivers and mountains on the map were suddenly full of miners, medicine farmers, woodcutters, and all kinds of people in a hurry, all thinking of quickly collecting resources and selling them for money, buying a weapon as soon as possible, killing monsters and bandits, and smiling proudly in the rivers and lakes.

However, everyone sadly found that resources are not available everywhere after all, but they cannot withstand the enthusiasm and desire of the broad masses of the people to explore. Therefore, despite the fact that the nameless cave is located deep in the mountains and far away from the novice village, there are still high-ranking people who have discovered that the ore is produced here. So thousands of people came like smelly flies, and the people who worked hard to find this place also understood the gist of more monks and less porridge, and only kept mining quietly, but rarely told others.

In the real world, twenty-four hours have passed, and it is already the second day of the server. The unusually low output rate has made thousands of people miserable. But few people go back, for the simple reason that the cheapest weapon, the iron sword, requires 120 copper plates, and most of them have not dug up enough ore of equal value, and it takes too long to go back.

In addition to martial arts, everyone can learn life skills, and the number is not limited, theoretically as long as there is perseverance, any skill can learn the intermediate peak of level 29, but at most there can only be 3 life skills to break through level 30, advanced to advanced, and even break through 40 to upgrade to expert level, and finally if you complete the exclusive task, you can break through to level 50 grandmaster.

In fact, the martial arts level of this game is the same, 0-9 is beginner, 10-19 is beginner, 20-29 is intermediate, 30-39 advanced, 40-49 expert, and 50 grandmaster. The higher the level of martial arts, the greater the power, and the breakthrough at each stage is a qualitative leap. The same goes for life skills, the lower the level, the lower the success rate, and vice versa. Novices who are struggling to dig in the caves, mining skills are only between level 0-3, and it is natural that they can't dig good mines, which also reflects from the side that the skill improvement of "Iron Blood" is not easy.

Feibai led the black donkey to the front of the mine, and with a wave of his hand, the black donkey suddenly disappeared, only adding a boxy nameplate in his backpack. The sweaty miners in the cave naturally didn't know that when they couldn't even afford a novice weapon worth 120 Wen, someone had already bought a beginner mount worth 1200 Wen. I don't know that Feibai, who is also a novice with them, is currently worth 5 times the price of this black donkey. The backpack of the beginner mount has 200 slots, and the capacity of the novice package is only 40, which is why Feibai gritted his teeth and bought it, so as not to have to go back to the novice village due to insufficient backpack capacity, which invisibly saves a lot of time. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that he inadvertently earned a fortune of nearly 8,000 Wen, his hands and feet would not be so extravagant.

Walking briskly into the cave, I happened to be confronted by a few acquaintances. A strong man at the head, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, knotted muscles and muscles on his body, his eyes revealed a sense of perseverance and confidence, and when he saw Feibai, a smile appeared on his face: "Little brother, are you back so soon?" Feibai smiled when he heard this, and was about to answer, when he shouted that a girl came out of his side, with a face like a full moon, and his eyes flowing, very cute and cute. The girl came up and crackled: "Brother Feibai, I bet with Mu Xia that you won't come back before we go out, it's good now, you don't come early or late, but you came in when I was going to win, and I lost 20 Wen." I don't care, you have to pay this account. After speaking, the sly eyes stared at Feibai, looking like you were doing it. Behind the girl stood a tall and plump young man, it was Mu Xia, seeing the girl say this, he chuckled and said: "Yutong, you will rely on the debt, how can you climb to the Feibai brothers, if you are reluctant, it doesn't matter if I don't want this gambling money." The girl who called Yutong listened, like a fried kitten, put her hands on Xiaoman's waist, and said angrily: "Hmph! Whoever wants to repay the debt, you tell me clearly, don't think that I won't dare to beat you if you are handsome! ”

Feibai couldn't help but see her like a little daughter, and the fatigue of the day seemed to be swept away. So he said: "Yutong don't be angry, I think Brother Mu Xia must be afraid that you will be bored with mining, and deliberately bet with you to have fun." I'm lucky, this time I went back to sell the mine to make a small profit, and there was no expense for a while, and I contracted your share of the gambling money. ”

Yu Tong was stunned after hearing this, 20 Wen is not easy for anyone to take out his hand now. If you talk about friendship, the three of you are just the first to enter the cave like Feibai, and they were together when they were mining, so they just said a few more words, and they couldn't talk about how deep their friendship was. I saw that he was loyal, so I made a joke, but who knew that he took it seriously, and for a while he didn't know what to say, and he was stupidly silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Here, Mu Xia also waved his hand and said: "Feibai, Yutong is joking, please don't take it seriously." Dahan smiled apologetically at Feibai: "Brother Feibai, don't mind, my sister has been spoiled since she was a child, and she has always been unscrupulous in her words and deeds, but she is really not messing around, please forgive me for the rudeness." Feibai laughed: "Brother Tianzong is serious. Yutong is innocent, not pretending, and has a very cute temperament. Although I haven't been with you for a long time this day, I also know that Brother Tianzong, you are ambitious in the distance, Mu Xia and Yutong are also dragons and phoenixes among people, and their achievements in the future will be limitless. Thinking about parting soon, I don't know when the rivers and lakes will meet. The younger brother didn't prepare any gifts for a while, and presented copper coins and 100 papers, so don't refrain if I'm a friend. May Brother Tianzong, Mu Xia, and Yutong have a smooth sailing and prosperous journey from now on. ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and Yu Tong's small mouth became O-shaped, becoming more and more cute and cute. After a few breaths, Tianzong stepped forward and said: "Feibai, I don't know why you still come back to mine when you can buy weapons to practice, and I don't know why you gave such a big gift when we met in Pingshui, but I know that gentlemen are honest when they meet." We accepted this gift, and from now on, Feibai will be my brother in Tianzong. In the future, no matter how good I am or down, I will always remember the Feibai brothers in the Mangshan Mine. You and I will meet again! After saying that, he hugged his fists and bowed, and left immediately, followed by Mu Xia and Yutong. Mu Xia patted Feibai's shoulder: "Precious." When Yutong was about to walk out of the cave, he turned around and made a phone call: "Add friends." Feibai smiled and nodded, and the only 3 names were added to the friend column.

As soon as the three of them got out of the hole, Feibai immediately clicked on the "Flying Pigeon Biography" button, entered 100 copper coins in turn, and after confirming, the three white pigeons immediately flew into the clouds and disappeared. In the next second, Tianzhong, Mu Xia, and Yutong received letters one after another, and they only needed to go to Qianzhuang, and Baiwen's huge amount of money could be pocketed.

The "Pigeon Biography" feature allows you to leave a message to your friends, whether they are online or not. It is also possible to send items and money, but the system charges a fee of 1% of the value. Sending can be operated anywhere, but picking up must go to the bank, which is a very practical function. A similar feature is "Voice Transmission", but you can only send messages to friends online, and you can't send money or goods.

Feibai walked back to the site of the last mining, put up his torches, rolled up his sleeves, and began the mining business. In the official game information revealed, he paid great attention to one article, all weapons and equipment in "Iron Blood" are destructible, and repairing it at an ordinary blacksmith after the durability is reduced will drop the upper limit of durability, and it will be scrapped if it is repaired a few more times, only by repairing it at the craftsman who will build the equipment, or using a prop called "Solidification Charm" can maintain the upper limit of durability, and "Solidification Charm" only has a small probability of dropping when killing the boss, which is very rare. He thought about it, there are many talents in the game, and most of them are rushing to practice martial arts and improve their strength, and they naturally have little equipment to practice, and the wear rate of weapons is far ahead. In addition, the server has just been launched now, and the snatching of monster resources must be indispensable. Instead of competing with others for resources and wasting time, it is better to practice mining and crafting skills first, and then there will be no shortage of weapons to level up yourself, and you can also sell and repair weapons, accumulate a fortune, and when you reach the mainstream player level, you only need to spend much less time than them to catch up. Even at that time, with sufficient funds and equipment, it is unknown to surpass the large army and become a martial arts master, which is "sharpening the knife and not cutting wood".

In the next half month, the players in the mine left one after another, and new people continued to come in. With the inevitable word of mouth among players, the popularity of the Mangshan Mine Cave has grown, and more and more people have come. Fortunately, this is just a primary mine, and the output is only iron ore worth Weibo, and there are no vicious incidents such as murder and mining grabbing.

Feibai has no distractions and concentrates on mining, and his mining skills are slowly but steadily climbing upward. During this period, someone talked, always greeted with a smile, but only answered without asking, did not offend people, and was not too distracted. After a long time, there are always thousands of people coming and going in the huge mine, and a small half of them know that there is a player with a good temper, who doesn't like to talk, and buries his head in mining, named Feibai.

With a "ding" sound, the system prompted the sweaty Feibai to stop waving the iron pickaxe. "Your skills have reached a bottleneck, please increase the limit in time." Feibai spat out a breath of turbidity, it is now the 15th day of entering the game, half a month of uninterrupted mining while piling up the personal warehouse with ore, and finally improving the mining skill to the peak of level 9, as long as you go back to the novice village to find a blacksmith to improve, you are a junior blacksmith. Moving from an apprentice to a beginner may not seem like a big improvement on the surface, but it can increase the success rate of mining, the chance of obtaining high-tier ores, and the time it takes. Therefore, once a skill has reached the pinnacle of the first tier, the first thing is usually to move up the tier.

Pack up your pickaxe and walk out of the mine unhurriedly. Outside is the scorching sun, flying white eyes can't get used to it for a while, hands on the pergola, birds chirping in the wild, flowers and trees, from time to time a few players in and out of the mine, such a situation, its own wild fun.

Flying white chest relaxed, in the backpack lightly, the black donkey immediately appeared beside him. I remember that when I bought it, I had the intention of showing off, and I didn't ride, and walked with the donkey in the wind and rain, even if I pretended to be chic, but there was no spectator, and I really threw it to the blind man. I can't help but laugh when I think about it, and I can't help but say it in my heart, so let's make you the first mount in the game to be ridden after half a month. With his left hand, he pressed on the donkey's back at will, straddled the donkey, and Shi Shiran went to the novice village.
