Chapter Fifty-Eight: Master Gavin (Ask for Collection Recommendation!) )
At the foot of a nondescript mine ahead, there were several stone buildings, and an old man who looked a little weak was pounding on some unknown metal in front of a furnace.
Boom! Boom! Boom! ……
The sound of metal clashing was loud in the uninhabited quicksand clearing.
Sensing the appearance of a figure, the old man looked up, but only glanced at Mo Hai and them, and he continued to lower his head and knock on the metal ore embryo.
"Master Gavin." Mo Hai walked up and said respectfully.
The old man's name is Gavin, at the beginning of the game, players who come here think he is just an ordinary blacksmith who buys ores, but in fact, he is one of the few mining and casting masters in the game who have reached the top level, and he is also an extremely rare neutral NPC, can freely enter and exit the human city, and at the same time can communicate with humanoid monsters, walking in the wild will not be attacked by ordinary monsters.
"You know me?" Gavin looked up and looked at Mo Hai with a frown.
This should be impossible, although he has lived in Grumham for a short time, he has never revealed his identity, even if the people in Grumham do not know his true identity, how does this bandit leader know?
"I heard about you from an ocean bird." Mo Hai took out the conch that the ocean bird gave him to prove what he said.
Gavin is a neutral NPC with a lot of experience in the game, and one of his top professional masters will be in front of the mine because he is waiting for a big change that is about to happen here, when the player can receive a very rewarding quest chain from him.
"What a mouthy guy." Gavin frowned and muttered.
Although he has not been seen much in recent years, he has been quite famous in the past, and has always been associated with the Ocean Bird clan, so it would not be surprising that the bandit leader knew about him from the Ocean Birds.
"Tell me, what are you looking for me? If it's a weapon, then forget it, I don't have the tools to forge a weapon, and you can't afford to be a bandit leader. "Gavin's personality is still quite easy to talk in NPCs, and he doesn't chase people out of his own identity without saying a word.
"Nope! I just want to ask the master to teach you mining skills, and it won't hinder how much time it will take you, master. Mo Haiqian said sincerely.
He doesn't know about other life skills, but mining skills monsters can definitely learn, goblin monsters are typical examples, in addition to this, there is a kind of dwarf monster called dwarf miner in the game.
But you can't learn it if you want to, someone has to teach it. But most monsters won't learn even if they can, because there's no need. Except for some rare ores, most of the ores that monsters in the game need can be obtained near them, and rare ores can not be mined if they want to, and they can be mined or mined in their range of activity.
"Mining skills, you want to mine?" Gavin was a little weird.
He knew better than Mo Hai that mining skills were of little use to monsters, and only certain monster races would learn mining skills for various reasons.
"Yes, we know a way to make ourselves stronger through ore, but this ore can't be found in the Solid Stone Fortress, so we can only come here and dig it ourselves." Mo Hai replied.
He didn't lie to Gavin, he came here to mine and make the team stronger.
The second reward question of the quest scroll, Mo Hai asked how to make the bandit leader stronger by recruiting and resurrecting.
The system gave the corresponding formula, and Mo Hai immediately thought of Gavin when he saw it, and decided that once the lava giant and the black witch joined forces, he would come to the quicksand mine to find Gavin and learn skills in mining.
The ore on the formula cannot be mined by the player in the short term, so he can only do it himself.
If he wants to level up, he has to wait for the player's level to increase, and during the time when the player is leveling up, he just mines to strengthen the team, so that even if the player becomes stronger, the team has enough ability to kill the player to upgrade.
"Make yourself stronger, that argument does convince me, but I don't think you're paid enough for me to pass on my skills." Gavin nodded.
Teaching skills requires a lot of experience points for his mining skills, and even if he is good at talking, he won't teach them casually.
"I know you're collecting amber ore, and we've learned mining skills and we'll give you ten pieces of amber ore as a reward within a month." Mo Hai knew this and was anxious.
"Ten pieces of amber ore, that's a good pay. Unfortunately, I don't think you'll be able to mine ten pieces of amber ore in a month after learning the mining skills. The mine behind me is good, but it produces a maximum of two pieces of amber ore a month. Gavin shook his head, he would not accept such a verbal promise that was unsecured and almost impossible to achieve.
"Master Gavin, I can use this equipment as collateral, I believe it is worth ten pieces of amber ore." Mo Hai had already prepared, he took out the Journeyer's Ring and handed it to Gavin.
"Huh? This ring is a good thing. Gavin took it and glanced at it, surprised.
The Journeyer's Ring should not appear on a low-level bandit leader, it is worth more than ten pieces of amber ore, and he can easily exchange it for ten pieces of amber ore.
"Okay, you can use this ring as collateral. But then again, if you can't get ten pieces of amber ore in a month, don't think I'll give you back this ring. ”
Gavin put away the Journeyer's Ring and agreed.
"No problem." Mo Hai breathed a sigh of relief.
As someone who knew Gavin's secret, he knew before he came that failure was unlikely, but he was still worried that something unexpected would happen.
And if something really happens, he might have to turn his face with Gavin.
Mo Hai is not worried that Gavin will not return the ring at that time, Gavin is definitely one of the most trustworthy NPCs in the game, as a top casting master, he has an unusually large net worth, although the Journeyer Ring is very valuable, but it is nothing compared to Gavin's net worth.
In the future, Gavin's quest rewards are quite generous, and there are some verbally promised additional rewards that the player will be generous with if he completes them.
Gavin's teaching of mining skills is very simple, a light blue light appeared in his hands, Mo Hai and they have learned mining skills when they came into contact with the light in the past.
And it's also a level 2 mining skill!
The highest level of life skills in the origin game is level 10, and Master Gavin is level 10 mining and level 10 casting, Mo Hai remembers that the player who completed Gavin's task learned level 7 mining and level 7 casting directly from Gavin, and it is only a small meaning to teach them level 2 mining skills.
Although it is only level 2, Mo Hai is still very grateful to Gavin, if Gavin wants to save effort, he can teach them level 1 mining.
"I'm going to learn too! I'm going to learn too! ”
Seeing that the sixteen bandit leaders of Mohai had learned mining skills, the ghost was also unwilling to be lonely and ran over happily.
As a result, a group of people turned around and looked at it with a little pity in their eyes.
"What's the matter, I'm going to mine too!" The ghost couldn't wait.
"Ghost, try grabbing your staff with both hands." A kind reminder from number 13.
Gripping the staff with both hands?
The ghost was a little confused, but it tried to do what number 13 said.
This...... How is this possible?
In the next moment, the ghost seemed to be thunderclapping from the sky.
It was too fat and its hands were too short, and it couldn't even grasp the staff with both hands at the same time!
"Ghost, don't make a fuss, come and get these mine hoes on your back." Mo Hai shouted.
Mo Hai bought more than a hundred mine hoes from Gavin in one go, and the ghost couldn't dig the mine, so the backpack was just used to carry the mine hoe.
"Yes, Boss."
The ghost floated over dejectedly, trying to shove a handful of mine hoes into his backpack.
The ghost has always been very satisfied with himself when he blew himself up to kill monsters, but now he realized that he was so fat, not ordinary fat!
After two days of hard work here, it's finally time to start mining!
Walking towards the mine cave in front of him, Mo Hai was a little excited.
As a person who has come over, he wants to mine, of course, which is different from ordinary player mining!
In the past, he mainly did tasks and didn't mine much, but now he is trying to implement a very YY mining method that was circulated among players at the beginning!
