Wang Lei didn't know why the temperature difference between the two sides of the underground world at the same depth was so large. In his senses, it was as if there was a volcano on one side and an iceberg on the other. In this kind of place where ice and fire are both heaven and earth, it becomes very difficult for Wang Lei to continue to climb down. Because the rope goes down from the cold place, it won't take long for the sweat dripping from Wang Lei's body to turn into ice ballast, and he himself will directly become an ice lump.
As for climbing down from a hot place, it was even worse, the rope was not so bad that it was not smoking, but he himself was burned all over his body. Eventually, the brave man, who had descended a full nine kilometers above the ground, stopped at the dangerous conditions on both sides. At this time, he was at least nine kilometers away from the ground, and he had been groping in this underground world for nearly three days, and at the same time, Chen Kai and the others had already mined the huge piece of purple iron ore for two days, and Xu Fei had gone to the imperial capital to sell equipment for nearly two days.
Although Wang Lei had no way to go down the abyss passage of the two heavens of ice and fire, it did not mean that he had given up this underground journey. In his mind, as long as he is not killed by monsters, then he will continue to explore, and in his opinion, this adventure is very memorable. So instead of climbing back down the route, he slowly groped in the dark in the direction of the air current.
However, he will be in a very dangerous situation, and if he is not careful, he will get lost in the dark world. It is very dangerous to do so if you leave it in reality, because if you get lost in the underworld, you may end up in death. But in the game, death is nothing to the player. If he gets lost in the dark, then Wang Lei doesn't have to be afraid of anything at all, the food stored in the backpack is enough for him to grope in the dark world for at least three or four months, and the tools he carries are enough for him to climb at least dozens or even hundreds of kilometers away. The only thing holding him back is the dangerous environment around him, and the monsters that don't know when they will appear.
But even if he encounters a monster, he is only forced to stop this exploration trip, and he can even be sent back to the city for free because of death. Wang Lei, who bound the soul road marker to the cemetery in Burkner Town, as long as he did not run out of a hundred kilometers away from Burkner Town. Wherever they die, they will be resurrected in the cemetery of the town of Burkner. This is a special privilege that belongs to the player's city, that is, the player can freely bind the location of resurrection after death. If it is replaced by an aboriginal city, then the place where the dead are close to there will be resurrections, and even in the wild graveyards in the middle of nowhere, players may crawl out of the tombs.
This kind of setting, which makes many female players or timid players depressed, makes many players who are resurrected in the wild graveyard in the middle of the night and players who pass by have the experience of being frightened. Because sometimes those players who are resurrected in the field graveyard may need to use their hands to pick up the floating soil on the surface of their bodies to crawl out of the ground, and this process will be very scary during the third watch in the middle of the night. The worst place to be resurrected is that the soil layer above is too thick and hard to open. You might be suffocated in there again. Of course, what makes those female players depressed is the environment of the wild cemetery.,It's already very depressing to pick up the dirt after resurrection after death.,If there's a skull on it looking at you after you pick up the dirt.,It's estimated that you'll be scared to death or faint again after resurrection.。
Therefore, the fact that you can bind the resurrection graveyard is a very good benefit for many players. So most of the players are settling down in the cities where they like the players. rather than a more well-equipped indigenous city.
For Wang Lei, groping in the dark has become a complete habit in recent days, and he can see clearly even if the road is dark with a piece of lighting crystal. At least as far as the eye could see, he had no problem at all. In fact, when he descended to a position nearly seven or eight kilometers above the ground, a faint red light began to slowly emanate from the surrounding rocks. Although this red light is very dim, it is enough for Wang Lei, who is wearing the lighting crystal, to see the road clearly. Of course, there are no roads in the underground world, especially in this world under the abyss, where the cliffs on both sides are basically not vertical cliffs. Such a cliff is very steep, and there is a lack of gaps to climb and walk, Wang Lei uses a climbing pickaxe to hang his body with almost every step. You can only rely on this climbing technique. He was able to climb slowly up this steep cliff and move slowly towards the distance in which he didn't know what direction.
At his feet was an abyss of terror that was unknown how deep, and in front of him was an abyss that stretched far and unknown. The dark underground world can hardly feel the alternation of time, if it weren't for the continuous movement of system time, Wang Lei would not feel how long he had been in this underground world. In this state of action, Wang Lei's movement speed is very slow, just like a turtle crawling. Originally, he could descend at least three or four kilometers a day. But now he has only climbed less than a kilometer in a whole day, and he is constantly detouring around the dead ends that he can't climb.
When Chen Kai commanded the miners to dig for three days, Xu Fei had just sold the two Holy Creation Weapons, but the price was a little different from what Chen Kai expected. Originally, they thought that these two weapons could be sold for at least nearly 10 million gold coins, but in fact, the total number of gold coins Xu Fei had in his hands was only 7 million. In addition to the fact that the users of those two weapons were relatively rare, the audience of their original owner's evil guide weapons became very narrow, and the commission charged by the auction house after the auction of the weapons was finally greatly reduced to the number of gold coins in Xu Fei's hands.
This number is already a very large amount of money in the eyes of many players, and even the Prime Minister Capello immediately came to buy and sell when he heard that Xu Fei, the mage who was following Chen Kai, sold such a large amount of gold coins. It's a pity that when he heard what Xu Fei wanted to buy. He shook his head and walked away. It's not that he didn't have anything to sell to Xu Fei, but because according to Chen Kai's title, he couldn't buy more magic crystal cannons at all, and in the end, Xu Fei only spent less than a million gold coins to buy at least two hundred magic crystal cannon shells and three replacement cannon barrels from Prime Minister Capello.
Of course, neither the barrel nor the shell is a first-hand product, but a second-hand product eliminated by the Imperial Capital City Guard. However, when Chen Kai received these second-hand goods, he found that the so-called second-hand was just because of the name on the processing text, in fact, these things were basically new but relatively old. They've been in the storeroom for too long. For so long that some warehouse managers have treated them as second-hand goods.
However, what gave Xu Fei a headache was another need of Chen Kai, because the imperial capital really couldn't find such a large amount of suspension bridges or cranes, and in the end he could only turn to the Imperial Capital's Spell Association. The original custom spell device with additional levitation was strengthened again, from the original maximum carrying capacity of three hundred tons to nearly five hundred tons, according to the old mage, it is estimated that the Hansting Empire basically cannot find the ore that this thing cannot carry. If there really is such a big and heavy ore. Then he will eat the ore himself. Because in the old mage's opinion, most of the ore can only be killed by a few hundred kilograms, and even the largest bonanza rough cannot be mined in its entirety, and no foolish miner will choose to take the ore out of the vein without crushing. But how did this old mage know that it was not that Chen Kai and the others didn't want to smash the huge piece of purple iron rough stone, but because almost all of the crystal clusters of this huge purple iron rough stone grew together, and it was not necessarily much more fragile than the metal that melted together. To crush this huge piece of purple iron ore, in Chen Kai's opinion, it is very difficult with the skills of those miners in Burkner Town. Or rather, it is basically impossible to be under a cliff in such an environment.
Because of the re-modification of the carrying weight and volume of the spell equipment, the amount of gold that Xu Fei needed to pay in the end was again
Throne of Fools
The increase skyrocketed from less than 200,000 gold coins to 800,000 gold coins, and the time to pick up the goods also changed from two days to three days later, adding up to a total of five days. So when Xu Fei, Wang Xuewen and the others returned to Burkner Town with this item, nearly six days had passed since they left Berkner Town. And that huge piece of purple iron rough has been excavated for nearly six days.
In Chen Kai's view, this huge purple iron rough stone has gradually shown a huge individual under continuous mining, and the length, width and height of this stone are far beyond the original estimate. At least the height and width that was originally exposed to the outside was not the final height and width of the stone, and finally when the whole rough stone was exposed to Chen Kai's eyes. It is 23 meters high, nearly 14 meters wide, and 15 meters thick. Such a huge piece of purple iron rough stone, even Xu Fei was shocked, because he didn't think that this huge stone would be less than a thousand tons, and even if the whole rough stone was not hollow but solid, then it would weigh at least four or five thousand cubic meters in terms of volume.
"I said, can this thing be made out without breaking it?" Xu Fei looked at the floating array disk in his hand, now if he can return to the imperial capital. Will definitely pull that old mage here. Because according to the old mage, he was going to eat the whole of this huge ore.
"If I can break it, I'll still have a tangled yarn! It's not that you don't know how hard the purple iron is, this thing is almost a piece of pure natural purple iron pimple, high purity or solid, you let me break it. If it had a little more sand in it, I could have the Earth Elemental casters crush it, but it's too pure for me to do! Chen Kai originally thought that this huge purple iron rough stone was an oval-shaped pimple, and it was only three or four meters thick to die. But when it was excavated, the thickness scared him straight away. This thickness is at least four or five thousand cubic meters of volume according to the earthwork calculation, if one cubic meter of ore is equal to one ton, then it is at least four or five thousand tons, but in fact, the weight of purple iron is even heavier, this huge ore is at least tens of thousands of tons.
If such a huge stone was a huge ore shining with the luster of gold coins in the past, then now it was the most depressed knot in Chen Kai's heart. He didn't even know what to do with this behemoth, because the town of Berkna couldn't divide the ore at all, and even if the stone was eventually transported out of the underground world, Chen Kai wouldn't be able to cut and use it.
"So what now? I'm useless with this thing! Xu Fei threw the folded and shrunken spell array disk in his hand to Chen Kai and said, this floating magic array disc is definitely a good thing to rest in other places. But if you want to hold up this behemoth, you need at least forty or fifty pieces of it. If it was four or five yuan, Chen Kai gritted his teeth and might still accept it, but forty or fifty yuan could not be sold to Berkner Town.
"Who said it was useless! Lao Tzu can't use this thing to decorate this big iron lump, can't he use it to do other things? Chen Kai pointed to a huge wooden house on the erected suspension bridge, which was built by Chen Kai with metal and wood, and it can be said that it was specially used to descend to the underground world thousands of meters deep to transport players to dig gems. As long as Xu Fei installed the magic array of the levitation technique in place. Then this wooden house can float up and down under the caster's control zhì, becoming an elevator controlled by spells. Transporting hundreds of tons of gem ore at a time is a drizzle, and the most important thing is that the storage of this thing makes it very easy for players to enter the abyss. And if the magic circle is removed at night, then the house will become a useless ornament.
"Is this okay?" Xu Fei looked at the wooden house and looked up at Chen Kai, in his opinion, Chen Kai's idea was a bit naïve, but with the entire magic array installed in place, when he watched Wang Xuewen slowly manipulate the magic array and lower the entire wooden house into the abyss, he knew that Chen Kai was not joking.
However, because of the control, the ups and downs of this handmade zuò magic elevator are not very smooth, and it takes at least a certain amount of time to get used to it. Even because of a manipulation mistake by Wang Xuewen, the entire house fell directly into the abyss. From the roof facing the sky to the bottom facing the sky, I almost didn't fall directly into the abyss because of this.
"I think this thing needs a few ropes to hold it in place for traction and stretching. Otherwise, I don't think anyone would dare to do such an elevator up and down! After returning to the ground, Xu Fei looked at Chen Kai sweating profusely, and the latter also nodded with a frightened face.
But in any case, the town of Burkna can be considered to be able to mine the gem veins thousands of kilometers underground, plus the purple iron produced in the purple iron veins. When Fei Yun came to the town of Burkna with the dwarves. The first thing you see is the pyrite that is gradually accumulating in the warehouse, and the more and more gems are accumulating. The commercial activity of the entire town of Berkner, as these two minerals began to develop at a high speed, and more and more players heard about the arrival of the Gem Abyss. From the original hundreds of people, to the current thousands of people every day, but because Chen Kai controlled the entire passage around the abyss, it was difficult for most players to cross Chen Kai's control and enter the underground gem vein to collect ore.
Although the system gives players a very large amount of backpack space, there are certain ways in which players can block the backpack space of other players. At least Chen Kai has purchased nearly a thousand magic chains through some channels, and players who are locked by chains cannot open the backpack space. After the space equipment was confiscated, they were allowed to carry a cloth bag into the underground gem vein to mine. Each player can only mine for one hour, and must pay at least five hundred gold coins, but even so, as long as they don't laze off, the benefits far outweigh their own efforts.
So for hundreds of years, many people were very dissatisfied with Chen Kai's actions, but at least he didn't eat alone, and the town of Burkner began to have a relatively large income because of this initiative. Five hundred gold coins an hour, and one thousand people is five hundred thousand gold coins. Even if there are only a few thousand people a day, Chen Kai can reap an income of at least two hundred gold coins from sitting on the ground. However, Chen Kai is well aware that this is higher than the income that will only be at the beginning of gem vein mining. If the gem mine is mined, it will become impossible for Chen Kai to get so much money. But no one knows how long it will take for the gem mine to be dug up, but in less than half a month, Chen Kai has harvested at least nearly 30 million gold coins. Even if half of it was collected by the system as a tax, so that the Capello Prime Minister Tong Guò Remote Communication Magic Array looked at Chen Kai's face and grinned at the corners of his mouth, the rest of the money was still the net income of Burkner Town.
And that's not even counting the taxes paid by players who sell their gems in Burknertown, where Chen Kai's purse has swelled at a visible rate for at least half a month during the mine's mining. Even more good people think that Chen Kai has once again topped the list of rich players in less than half a month. But that's basically impossible. Although Chen Kai's total wealth is definitely very high, in fact, there is still very little money in his pocket, all his money is used to buy military supplies and food, taking advantage of the poor blockade of the northern aristocratic alliance, the entire town of Berkna began to develop rapidly.
This time was the most comfortable time Chen Kai had, because those demonized soldiers could hardly be seen except for harassment at night. The only thing that made him feel uneasy was the attitude of the player lords around him. After all, the prosperity of Burkner Town has made the other player lords very unhappy. While they were in dire straits, Chen Kai was making a fortune, and the continuous development of military power almost made these player lords both fearful and angry.
If they have the opportunity, they will not hesitate to slash Chen Kai in the back, either snatching the gem abyss like a gold mine, or destroying Chen Kai's Berkner Town. It can be said that when Chen Kai was not paying attention, his city began to be isolated by the player lords of Hugodi.
