After finding such a large pile of iron ore in Pingbai, the three of them each carried a large basket and went out to hand in the task.

After ten trips back and forth, they all completed the first day's tasks, and each of them had their service reduced by one day.

After handing in the first day's task, there were still more than ten baskets of iron ore left, and the three of them stayed next to the pile of iron ore, waiting for the arrival of the next day's time, as long as the time came, they could go to hand in the next day's task.

Fei Gongfu saw that there was still a little time now, so he couldn't help standing up and mining, and said while digging: "It seems that there are more than ten baskets of iron ore in this pile, and when the time comes, we will help Xiahou hand over the next day's task." ”

Because this pile of iron ore was discovered by Xiahou, Erdong couldn't find a reason to oppose it, so he said: "We took away the fruits of other people's labor, okay?" ”

"We've been waiting here for so long, and no one has come to pick it up, it must be that person who accidentally dug too much, and now they may all be out of service." Fei Gongfu said.

While chatting and mining, the three of them stood by the pile of iron ore.

After a while, when the time came, they first carried out the iron ore and helped Xiahou hand in the task, and then handed over the task to Erdong.

After all the iron ore was delivered, Erdong's task today was still six baskets, so Fei Gongfu helped Erdong find a place to concentrate on digging iron ore.

And Xiahou continued to wander around, going to the shallow mines along the way, because he stepped on the shit luck before, and found so many iron ores hidden by others at once, and no one said anything about him when he went out this time.

Digging and digging, Xia Hou suddenly saw a slight change in the system prompt.

System information: Since the player Xiahou's deputy miner has reached the full level, his character has exploded and he has dug up a piece of refined iron ore.

What's going on, all I dug up was iron ore before, but now how do I dig up a piece of refined iron ore?

By comparing them through the system package, Xiahou got the difference between iron ore and refined iron ore:

Iron ore becomes iron ingots after smelting, and the sharpness of the iron ingots after forging to form weapons is +0~3 points, and it is most common to create weapons with a sharpness of 0, and the finished product rate of ordinary blacksmiths with a sharpness of 0 accounts for 99.9%, and the remaining sharpness +1, +2, and +3 add up to a total of 0.1%, most of which are sharp +1, a small number are sharp +2, and a very few are sharp +3.

The refined iron ore is smelted into refined iron ingots, and the weapon forged from the refined iron ingot has the lowest sharpness of +4, and if you are lucky, there is a very small probability of sharpness +5, +6, and +7.

It turns out that there is such a big difference between refined iron ore and iron ore, and after learning this, Xiahou desperately dug up the mine.

As the iron ore is dug more and more, the refined iron ore can occasionally be mined by Xiahou, and a rough count shows that the probability of Xiahou digging refined iron ore is 1%.

After digging iron ore for a few hours again, looking at the package full of iron ore and a small amount of refined iron ore, Xiahou was tired of digging, so he walked back and returned to the place where Fei Gongfu and Erdong were mining.

After seeing that with the basket of iron ore brought back by Xiahou, this time they were just able to make up six baskets, and they first took these iron ores to Erdong and handed over the task.

Then Erdong continued to want to go back and continue to help Fei Gongfu dig, Fei Gongfu directly refused, he said: "Everyone has been digging for a day and a night, go back and rest, don't dig today." ”

"How can this be done, Senior Brother's task today has not been completed, how can we go?" As soon as he heard that he didn't help the senior brother complete the task, Erdong didn't dare, he worked so hard to dig iron ore just now, just to dig his share as soon as possible, so that when he dug for the senior brother next, he couldn't refuse.

Who knew that after handing over his task, Fei Gongfu directly proposed to go back to rest, but of course he refused.

"I'm tired today, don't dig anymore, anyway, I only have two days of hard labor, I have a break today, I'm going back, and I'll come back tomorrow." After saying that, Fei Gongfu left the No. 9 mine cave straight and walked towards the rest area outside.

Because the iron ore needs to be handed over in person, Erdong can't help Fei Gongfu pay it, and seeing that Fei Gongfu is gone, even if he goes back to dig the iron ore now, he can't hand it in for Fei Gongfu, so he can only leave the No. 9 mine and go back to rest.

When they left, Xiahou, who was walking at the end, secretly came to a steward, took out a piece of refined iron ore, handed it to the steward and asked, "Senior brother, the special iron ore I dug up today is a little different from the others, you are well-informed, help me see what is the difference?" ”

The steward took the iron ore, shook it, and said, "Boy, you are lucky to have dug up the iron ore." Pure iron ore like this, if you hand in ten pieces, you can pay for a day's hard labor. The hand-in is not cleared every day, and the upper limit of hand-in is not set, do you hand in this piece? ”

After so many hours, there were hundreds of pieces of refined iron ore that I had just dug up in the bag, and it didn't seem to be very difficult to dig up, so Xiahou said after a while: "Turn it in." ”

Hearing that Xiahou agreed to hand it over, the steward found another special account book and recorded it and said, "Okay, on March 3, Xiahou will hand over one piece of refined iron ore, and you can hand over nine more pieces of refined iron ore, and you can barely go to one day's labor." ”

"By the way, senior brother, you just asked me if I want to hand it in, can I dig up the refined iron ore without handing it over and take it out?" Xia Hou heard the loophole in the steward's words, so he asked.

Hearing Xia Hou ask, the steward explained: "Yes, because it is not easy to dig up refined iron ore, and in order not to waste it, most people gather ten yuan to pay once." Otherwise, if you dig up a piece and hand over a piece, some people will suddenly turn bad luck after digging a few pieces, and they will not dig it again until the end of the service time, then won't it be wasted to hand over before? Second, some people need to make some special weapons that they want, so even if they dig up refined iron ore, they won't hand it in. ”

After listening to the steward's words, Xia Hou pretended to be very annoyed and said, "If I don't dig it up in the future, then I won't be at a loss." ”

It is rare that after someone dug up the refined iron ore, he stupidly came to hand it in to offset the service time, and the steward comforted: "I didn't lose much, only a piece of refined iron ore, the amount is not enough, and I can't make any weapons, only enough to make a flying knife hidden weapon, a few arrows, even if you don't dig up the refined iron ore in the future, the loss is not big." ”

"I understand, thank you for reminding me, then I'll go first." Knowing these things, Xia Hou thanked the steward, and then trotted a few steps quickly, went to catch up with Fei Gongfu and them, and went to the rest area next to them together.
