Chapter 318: Bad News from the Dwarves Underground (7)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
When Alaha, the mutated little demon, jumped at the two bastards who abducted the succubus, the Bato Demon, Chen Kai on the ground didn't know about the Demon Gate of the Underground World. In fact, only the Drow have seen the demons so far, and the dwarves are unaware that not far from them, a group of demons are building their lair on the main plane.
At this moment, Chen Kai was counting his gold coins, happily watching the number of entries in the vault that had not increased for a long time increasing little by little. Of course, he also knows that no matter how much he earns, more than half of it will eventually be taken away by the game system in the name of the empire's tax burden. But the rest of the money was enough to make him happy, because he hardly had to pay much other than the wages he paid for the mining labor.
In addition to mining the remnants of the Gem Ore Belt, picking up dropped gems beneath the abyss is something that some players are more than happy to do. Although the work is very difficult and sometimes disproportionate to the amount of work required, many players at lower levels who don't have much of an income stream in the game enjoy it. Chen Kai had no intention of confiscating these scattered gems, on the contrary, he still bought those gems from these players at a very fair price.
However, this kind of fair price must be lower than the selling price, after all, Chen Kai still has to make money. Of course, there are not many players who do this kind of business, and some even have more financial resources than Chen Kai, but Chen Kai is the master of the Gem Abyss. Most of the players still sold the gems to Chen Kai in the spirit of not offending the landlord, and Chen Kai's bid was not low.
So in less than a few days, the gem trade, which had been very thriving around the gem abyss, was revived. It's just that this time there is no such hot scene as in the past, because there are not many scattered gems under the gem abyss, and there are very few gems that can exceed 10,000 in a day. The large transactions are still based on the auction of the raw ore excavated from the excavated gem ore belt, and as the pieces of gem ore that are not heavy are gradually pulled up, what remains below the abyss is the large gem ore belt of the brother who is extremely heavy.
In order to mine these large gem ore belts, Chen Kai had to use some floating magic arrays to prop up the underside of the gem mines. But this is not always successful, at least once if not the operator sees the opportunity quickly. I wonder if the Layton pack horses pulling the ore will be dragged down the abyss by the suddenly heavy gem ore. But the cut rope was not found in the end, and the five-ton gem ore disappeared from Chen Kai's vision forever.
Chen Kai, who heard the news, almost beat his chest, of course, those players who had just arrived at the dwarf passage in the underground world were almost not scared to death. Anyone who suddenly passes by a huge rock will feel this way, and if this rock does not fall directly, but hits the rock wall a few times, it is estimated that the result may directly destroy the trestle that the dwarves have built with great difficulty. Even so, a section of the dwarf man-made trestle was broken, and shards of broken wood flew everywhere, nearly stabbing several players with blood.
Chen Kai only learned about this news for a long time, but after this accident, Chen Kai became more careful about the mining of gem ore belts. Not only did more Layton horses be arranged. I also asked a few miners to adjust the magic float halfway through. After all, Xu Fei's magic floating disk made by them has a limited carrying capacity, but the consumption is very amazing. If you can't dig any valuable gems in the gem mine that you pull up, then you will basically lose tens of thousands of gold coins at a time.
"Boss! Is it a loss or a gain this time?" When a new gem mine was pulled up and unraveled, Fei Yun stood beside Chen Kai and asked softly. The rough gemstones screened out in the gem mine all look similar, and the only way to tell whether it is a loss or a profit can only be seen by the volume. Due to the extremely low value of gems that do not have magical power in the game, if you dig up all the gems are ordinary gems. No matter how big and beautiful these gems are, they are not worth much unless they are very large and heavy enough. If five kilograms of rough gemstones are dug up from a five-ton piece of gem ore, but there is not even a gram of magic gems, then it is a loss. But if a kilogram of magic gems is dug up from five tons of raw ore, even if the particles are smaller, they will be earned. But in fact, sometimes a few kilograms of magic gems can not be dug up from a dozen gem mines, and sometimes a small stone of only ten kilograms may be able to uncover a huge magic gem worth millions.
In fact, if it weren't for this, it would be easy to lose too much, and if the method of gambling stones was adopted, then if there were large gems hidden in the unraveled rough stones, then Chen Kai and they would lose a lot of money. So even if it is said that it is greedy and monopolizes resources. Chen Kai: They also recognized. Of course, it can't be said to be completely monopolized, because Chen Kai and they will still take out some gem ore rough and sell it, and the method used is the same as betting on jade rough in reality, opening a small window on the gem mine, exposing the gems and then letting the players bid to buy them. Of course, these stones are relatively small, because if they are too large, players will not be able to afford them. The price of each piece of ore is as low as hundreds of gold coins, and most players will not spend this spare money to gamble. But even so, there are still many players blocking Chen Kai's gem mine store every day. Keep buying the rough windows that are auctioned off. After all, the price of gambling on raw ore is sometimes much lower than buying mined gemstones, and the word gambling may be very popular in human roots. Not to mention the players, even the aborigines have people who participate in it, and there are still people who make money because of it.
"It's not clear! By the way, how's the auction outside?" Chen Kai sighed with a thumb-thick gemstone in his hand, although this gemstone is in very good condition, almost no need to cut, as long as it is slightly polished, it is a very large and complete pendant stone. But it's not a magic gem. It's just a regular sapphire.
"Not bad! Just auctioned a piece of ore, guess how much?" Fei Yun took the beautiful sapphire blank from Chen Kai's hand, and then threw it into the box of ordinary gemstones on the side. Compared to the chests of magic gems, the chests of ordinary gems are much larger, and a lot of goods have accumulated in just one day.
"Which number!" Chen Kai was stunned for a moment when he heard Fei Yun's words. Generally speaking, if Fei Yun asks like this, then there must be something wrong with the auction price, either it is high and scary, or it is low and unreliable. Of course, at present, it is generally high and scary, and the highest price of a gem mine sold in the past few days is as high as 500,000 gold coins. Although a valuable magic gem was unearthed after it was finally unraveled, it was still high compared to the auction price.
"Number 1241! Guess how many?" Fei Yun directly reported a number, and Chen Kai immediately frowned when he heard this number, because he remembered that basically the ore of the single number was all ordinary gems when the window was opened. Basically, the even number of good gem mines that come out of the window is the magic gem. The mantissa is an odd number, and all of them are ordinary gemstones. If Fei Yun said an even number, then Chen Kai would not be surprised, but it was very strange for him to say an odd number.
"You're called To?" Chen Kai lowered his head and asked, and Fei Yun shook his head directly. Although in the previous auctions, in order to increase popularity, several good mines were auctioned at a high price at the same time, but this time they did not call the to, because Chen Kai, the ore with this number, they did not value it very much. But this unnoticed number was auctioned at a historically high price, and Fei Yun really wanted to tell Chen Kai directly how high the price of that number was, because it was a high price of one million.
Looking at Fei Yun, he shook his head. Chen Kai was a little confused. Because when this animal stone was auctioned, several dwarven craftsmen judged that there were basically not many good things in that batch of ores, especially the odd-numbered ores that Chen Kai planned to sell to others as gems for making zuò jewelry. But when Chen Kai knew the final transaction price, he also stayed for a long time, because it was a full 1.3 million. And that piece of ore weighed only twenty kilograms. Even if half of the entire ore was gemstones, the money would not have been recovered, but it was auctioned for such a high price.
"It's solved! It's solved! When Chen Kai was immersed in the incredible shock of this strange and high price, Hu Lansi's voice suddenly came from outside the door, and Chen Kai directly poked his head out, just in time to see the dwarven craftsman take out a huge gem from the precious gem ore.
"It's huge!" Looking at the huge ruby, Fei Yun was shocked for the first time, because it was the first time he had seen such a huge ruby. But the next moment to his consternation, the buyer of the gem wanted the dwarven craftsman to smash the gem. For such a request, it was the first time that everyone had heard it. And Chen Kai also felt very strange, but when he looked at the gem, he directly slapped himself on the face.
"! Sell at a loss! It's a loss! Chen Kai almost felt like crying when he looked at the gem, and the dwarf craftsmen, especially the dwarf craftsmen who were responsible for judging the gems, also had the same expressions as Chen Kai. At the same time, the dwarf, who was about to refuse the purchase, picked up a hammer on the operating table with an extremely distressed expression, but quickly put it down again, and then replaced it with a hammer, and after repeating it several times, he finally chose a small hammer that was no more than five pounds.
All the people who participated in the auction then saw a scene of smashing gems, and the dwarven craftsmen were very skilled in smashing iron, and they also had a deep understanding of the material of gemstones. Those who didn't understand looked at him lightly with a hammer and hit the gem, not at all as if he was smashing. But in fact, it is possible to break the gemstone intact. This is a secret that dwarven craftsmen do not pass on, let alone practice with gems for a year, even if they practice for a lifetime and smash a few tons of gems, they may not be able to learn. If they do, it is estimated that the dwarven gem workshop will be closed.
"Sure enough, it's that! Lao Tzu lost a lot this time! "When the huge ruby was split in two, everyone saw a reddish bead lying in the middle of the gem, a small bead no more than a centimeter in diameter, very small compared to the ruby outside. But the value of this bead is definitely more than ten times higher than the original price of the rough on its outer layer, at least it is worth tens of millions.
"Damn! It turned out to be the Blood Dragon Ball! Fei Yun's eyes were about to pop out when he looked at the gem, if he let Bai Shasha know that they had actually sold such a precious Fire Element Gem for more than a million gold coins, he would probably go crazy with anger. The Blood Dragon Ball is the top of the fire element gems. Don't look at the particles are only so big, but this gem is enough for a ** master to successfully release a ninth-order forbidden spell. A special treasure that can only be formed by absorbing the energy of a whole magical ruby, and it must be more than a kilogram of rough gemstones, and finally absorbing the blood of a fire elemental dragon. Of course, if Edmonds' blood was sprinkled on this gem, it was estimated that this Blood Dragon Ball would not be formed, and at most it would form a superb magic gem, and the price would not exceed three million. But because of the blood shed by Edmonds, it eventually led to the formation of the Blood Dragon Ball.
But when the purchaser tried to take the gem from the remains of the gem, the dwarven craftsman stopped him. And said in a very unskilled lingua franca: "Don't take it!" Because the dwarf's tone was very blunt, the face of the guide buyer instantly became ugly, because he felt that Chen Kai, the seller, did not intend to fulfill the rules and wanted to swallow this blood dragon ball.
But the next moment, when the dwarves cautiously handed over a pair of gloves, the native merchant understood what was wrong with him, and smiled at the dwarves who stopped him. Because the Blood Dragon Ball is the best gem of the fire elemental system, as long as it is exposed to the air, it will emit terrifying heat. Even with asbestos gloves. You can still feel the terrifying heat passing through the glove and spreading to the entire palm, and if you don't have the glove on direct contact, the aboriginal merchant's hand will be ignited instantly.
"What a loss! It's a big loss! Fei Yun looked at the Blood Dragon Ball that disappeared into the space ring of the aboriginal merchant and sighed, it was simply an unfortunate thing that such a precious gem had slipped out of their hands like this. However, no matter how unfortunate the principle of trading is, Chen Kai and the others can't tear up the transaction, fortunately, the aboriginal merchant left the remaining gem remnants for Chen Kai and them after putting away the Blood Dragon Ball. It's kind of giving a little soup to the seller.
"It's really a big loss this time!" Watching the dwarven craftsman gently put away those ruby fragments, Chen Kai sighed. But even if they lose money, Chen Kai has to admit it, after all, what they are doing now is the auction of gem roughs, and for the sake of credibility, Chen Kai can only admit it.
Although Chen Kai and the others lost money once, when the matter of the Blood Dragon Ball was spread, their gem mine auction became more and more popular. More and more players are joining the industry. Hoping to be able to auction a precious gem mine and become rich overnight. Although Chen Kai wanted to refuse such a thing, after all, as a player, he didn't want his compatriots to go bankrupt in gambling. Because in reality, there are many things that go bankrupt because of indulging in gambling stones, and even ruin families.
With the passage of time, the originally thriving Gem Abyss seems to have returned to its original time, but everyone knows that this prosperity is just the struggle of the Gem Abyss before it dies. Everyone knows that there are not many remnants of the gem ore belt in the Gem Abyss, so the price of gems in the game and even the price of magic gems does not fluctuate much. This situation is definitely a good thing for Chen Kai and them, because in this way, the price of their gems will not fall too much when they are sold, after all, if it falls too much, then the profit will be gone.
When Chen Kai began to make a lot of money. The dwarves of the underworld began to have a hard time, because they also showed something like the drow elves. Due to the Drow's strict defenses and the siege of the Minotaur army, the most important thing is that Ahara wants to know the news of Edmunds, the demon dragon of hell. The demons, who had completely built their lair, began to attack the dwarven lava city, and although they were a long way from the dwarven city, the flying imps were definitely faster than the players who could only walk on the ground. A distance that would take players days to complete, but the little devil can reach it in a few hours as long as he knows the road.
So when hundreds of little demons came with an even greater number of demons. And when a few succubi appeared outside the lava city, not only the Xianghu Town players who were attacking the lava city froze, but even the dwarves and Mograini who were guarding the city were also frozen. Although everyone knows that there must be demons in the lower world, in fact, there are no demons in the underground world, and even if there is a demon lord, it is not unusual. After all, everyone knows that the demon world often has spatial rifts along with the main plane. This is how many demons have come to the main plane. But if a large-scale demon appears, then no one will believe it without the Demon Gate, and even if there is no Demon Gate, there must be a spatial crack that is almost as stable as the Demon Gate.
At the same time, don't look at the number of demons that appear outside the lava city, but just that result is that the succubus almost collapsed the players in Xianghu Town outside the city. Yes! Just a wink, accompanied by the charm instinct that the succubus naturally carries, instantly captured the hearts of thousands of players. Originally, these players were full of dark sides physically and mentally because of the long hours of fighting in the game, and when the succubus's shallow singing voice appeared in their ears, several players almost made a fool of themselves. The tight pants represent their mood at the moment, and the constant fluttering of the nose on both sides of the bridge of the nose and the gradually reddening eyes indicate that these players are beginning to be seduced. Psychic skills are very rare in the game, but charm is the most powerful and the only skill that is not banned. At the beginning, Chen Kai and the others encountered a mutant canine beast that could charm, and they were almost wiped out by him, and now these players in Xianghu Town have encountered more than a dozen succubi who are more proficient in charm than canine beasts.
In less than a minute, half of the more than 40,000 siege players took the people around them as enemies and slashed them with weapons. Some people even took off their pants and showed their indiscretion in the game, which made the Mograine on the city wall feel extremely devastated. Because they were very afraid that the unfortunate fate of the players below would be transferred to them, but fortunately this scene did not appear, because after cleaning up the players in Xianghu Town, these succubi will not participate in the battle. They sat on their slender waists, then twisted their plump buttocks and flicked their seductive tails into the demons.
