Chapter 80: Gambling Stones
Duchamp calmly kept smiling, said goodbye to Miss Imelda, walked out of the shop, returned to the hotel, locked the door, and began to check the prompt:
"Earn the achievement mission: Master Jeweler."
Duchamp hurriedly took out the player's manual to check it, and there was indeed an additional task on it:
"Master Jewelers: Magic Jewelry is a combination of magic and art, with exquisite craftsmanship and a unique understanding of magic, to create jewelry that attracts the attention of the world and sell it for a high price for a considerable profit. Starting from D-rank, you can earn achievement points by making different levels of jewelry by hand, and 5,000 achievement points by crafting S-level jewelry. Selling jewels can also be rewarded, a single jewel costs 100,000 Mira to gain 1,000 achievement points, 1,000,000 Mira to 2,000 achievement points, 10,000,000 Mira to 5,000 achievement points. Earn all achievements and earn the title: Master Jeweler, and earn 1,000 World Fame. ”
Duchamp's eyes were blinded by the last line of words, he pointed to the circle with his index finger, and counted carefully, yes, ten million meters!
Duchamp suddenly felt that his head was pinched fiercely, what kind of jewelry can be sold for 10 million meters, and it has to be done by himself, not by the guide workbench.
With difficulty, he turned his attention to the first line, thinking to himself that a jewel worth a hundred thousand meters could still be done if there were good materials.
The next day, Duchamp questioned passers-by along the way, found the Crossbell news agency, bought all the weekly magazines he could buy recently, and asked the front desk of the news agency if there was any reporter who was more familiar with the case of the disappearance of children in the Republic. The front desk lady inquired and found a reporter who was willing to receive him.
After a while, a man in his mid-thirties came downstairs and introduced himself:
"Hello, my name is Qiu Mings, I just came back from the Republic of Calvard a few days ago, what do you want to know?"
Duchamp hurriedly recounted the fabricated reasons again.
"You don't mind if I take a cigarette and relax, right?" The reporter took out a pipe and a cigarette.
"It doesn't matter, please." Duchamp graciously handed the ashtray to Qiu Mings.
Qiu Mings stuffed tobacco into his pipe while sorting out his thoughts:
"If you are a foreigner living in the Republic of Calvard, you have to be careful, especially if you live in the slums. The last time I went to Kasley, I saw an arson scene in District 11 there, and the methods were brutal. The gangsters broke in in broad daylight, tied up all the adults in an apartment, snatched all the children, and then set fire to the house, and all the people in the house were burned to death. ”
Duchamp was shocked, "Isn't their purpose a child?" Why do you want to attack adults who are already powerless to resist? ”
Qiu Mingsi lit his pipe and took a hard puff: "The Republic is different from ours, there are many immigrants from the East, and some locals believe that immigrants have robbed them of their jobs and reduced their quality of life. There is a big market for this kind of thinking in the region, and some politicians think the same way. There are even thugs who form militant groups and brutalize foreign immigrants. Many suspect that these crimes are the work of radicals. Subsequently, several major ethnic militant organizations in the republic openly spread rumors, claiming that they had nothing to do with the matter. So the answer to this question is not yet known. However, when they killed adults, they at least took the effect of killing people. ”
"And what measures are being taken by the Government of the Republic now?"
Hearing this question, a strange look appeared on Qiu Mingsi's face.
"It's unbelievable that the government of the republic is doing nothing right now."
"Nani?"
"I spent more than a week in Kasley for this interview, and every day I read newspapers from various parties, attacking each other about the matter, saying that they were obstructing the investigation of the case. Some time ago, the country's president seemed to have introduced a bill to enter a state of emergency, but it was rejected by parliament on the grounds that it would exacerbate Calvard's economic downturn. There is also Calvard's military, whose attitude is also very ambiguous, and he doesn't know what medicine is sold in the gourd. In short, there is chaos there now. ”
Duchamp frowned, he never expected that the Republic of Calvard would be in such a situation, and some of his original ideas would suddenly not work.
Seeing that Duchamp was preoccupied, Qiu Mings kindly reminded: "It is useless to worry alone, you should send a letter to your friend, say hello, and if the economic conditions allow, simply move out of the Republic of Calvard." I see that the chaos over there will not stop for a while. ”
"You're right, thank you very much for your information."
Leaving the enthusiastic reporter behind, Duchamp found a guide bus to the Mainz mine, got on the bus, and took out the weekly magazine he had bought.
The more I read it, the heavier Duchamp's heart became, the so-called missing cases were not only about abducting children, but also about burning the victims' houses, killing the adults present, looting property, and deliberately creating chaos. The area involved is not limited to the northern part of the republic, but also includes several neighboring member states, and even extends to the city of Altai, which is only an hour's drive from Klosbel.
The people on the side, seeing the pictures and news in the weekly, also stretched out their heads to look at it and discussed:
"These thugs are really arrogant, may the goddess punish them."
"Fortunately, Crossbell hasn't been involved yet, it's really a blessing from the goddess."
Fortunately? Not necessarily!
The mining town is built on the hill of the Mainz Mine, with a number of staircases connecting up and down according to the steep terrain. The residents' houses are quite mine-like, irregular and round, making full use of every inch of land, and the doors, windows, roofs, and stairs of the houses are made directly of a large number of iron plates, which looks very solid. The mayor's house is larger than the others, and it is very recognizable.
When Duchamp told Miss Imelda about her introduction and his intentions, the mayor said very happily: "The mine has a very strict management system for Qiyao Crystal, and it cannot be sold to private individuals. But for the associated mines, it is very flexible, such as gold, platinum, silver, mythril, jade, glowstone, etc., can be sold directly to the outside world, you just need to go to the mine store to buy, in the name of Miss Imelda, you can get a 9.5% discount. ”
Duchamp came to the mine's shop, which was clearly a large warehouse, which contained samples of various precious metals, both refined and associated ores, as well as unrefined raw ore.
He asked how to sell the raw ore, and the clerk of the five big and three thick said that it was sold according to the block, and a piece was pulled for 1,000 meters. Since it has not yet been refined, customers are very discerning when they buy it, and some of them may contain large ores, or they may be all crumbles.
Duchamp couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, isn't this the otherworldly version of the gambling stone.
He changed the filter condition of the minimap radar to "ore", and suddenly the ores in the store were displayed on the minimap, showing colorful dots according to the type, although there was no specific analysis data, their value was already presented.
Duchamp walked around in the pile of raw ore, and it was clear in his heart that if the ore content was too low or non-existent, the system would treat it as an ordinary stone and not display it; The ones shown on the map must all have mines, and according to the colors displayed, it is already possible to determine the type of ore contained in the raw ore. There was also an ore that had been glittering golden, apparently a metal that the system had deemed extremely useful.
Duchamp held back a smile and took out 16,000 meters to pick out the sixteen ores that showed the most useful. These sixteen ores are a lot of piles, and Duchamp can't be packed in the space to take away in front of everyone's eyes, so he had to entrust the clerk to help, first moved to the hotel in the mining town, opened a room, put it in, and rented a set of diamond drills and cutting machines, ready to 'Taobao' by himself.
The clerk was no longer surprised by a customer like him, so he just lent him his things.
After eating in the mine hotel and sleeping beautifully, Duchamp looked at the late day, blocked the doors and windows of the hotel room, took out the guide workbench, moved the ore to the operation table piece by piece, selected 'raw material extraction', the guide workbench rose a few manipulators and a small grinding wheel, instantly unloaded the ore into eight pieces, extracted the useful part little by little, and swept the remaining wreckage directly into the waste barrel.
In a short time, Duchamp obtained gold, platinum, mythril, black iron, and most importantly, extracted a rare ore from an ore that shimmered with great gold on the map: the T material.
All sixteen ores were extracted, and the white light on the conductive workbench flashed and it was as clean as ever. Duchamp was no stranger to this, he took out the tactical force guide, put it on the operation table, selected the "improvement plan", and watched the system show that the guide hole could continue to be strengthened, and his heart was happy.
Duchamp's Tactical Guide, which has not been modified since it was strengthened to level 3 in Pvennis, has not been modified in any way, because it requires rarer materials to continue to modify, and the T material is a high-grade material that can strengthen the guide hole.
Duchamp chose to strengthen the core guide hole, setting the inlay object as the 'knight' that he had already obtained. The conductive workbench grabbed a small piece of T material, melted another piece from it, and slowly carried out the transformation of the core circuit, until it was strengthened to level 5, and half of that small piece of T material has been used.
Then, Duchamp chose to inlay the 'knight'. As the giant hole in the middle of the tactical guide finally crystallized, Duchamp suddenly felt that the tactical guide was radiant, as if he had gained a soul and came to life.
