Chapter 5 Mining Maniacs
The cave 3 kilometers southeast of Mao Rough Village was actually recently excavated, and the system would randomly give a spawn point near the novice village from time to time.
This is a new mine, and of course, the mine is near the village of Maoku, and the value of the mine is very limited.
It wasn't until Li Dalong actually came to the scene of the accident that he understood that Contra's 20 copper coins were not given away for free, but had been calculated long ago and would be spent quickly.
When the Cableway Minecart carries people underground, the entrance to the mine is blocked by a large group of players.
At a glance, the group of people knew that they were clearly in a group, all of them seemed to be melee type fighters, and they were almost all black machetes in their hands.
Well, it's actually a scythe, but the cool glow that shines from the edge of the black scythe is very intimidating.
At least it can deter the souls of level 1 and level 2 newcomers, but the ones who are blocked are all level 1 and level 2 newcomers who come to find mines to make money.
Dozens of recruits were blocked at the entrance and scolded and complained, but they only dared to complain, and no one dared to step forward, after all, no one had the courage to challenge the black scythe with a rookie stick.
"What's the situation?" Dalong's classmates have never been afraid of things, and the thieves stepped forward.
βzhanzhuοΌβ A burly warrior stopped him, "If you want to go in to find a mine, pay the customs fee first." β
"But I don't see a toll booth here." Li Dalong can rely on the logic of the other party anytime and anywhere.
The warrior didn't pay attention to his yin and yang weirdness, but explained in detail: "This well was discovered first by our 'mountain field artillery team', and it stands to reason that we can't dominate the mine, but the monster of this well is not something that you newcomers can deal with, and we have mastered the refresh rules, only once a day, we have cleared the monster today, everyone said, should someone go in to show it?" β
It turned out that this was the case, Li Dalong found that this group of people was not an unreasonable road rage as he imagined, and the words of the warriors also made some sense.
The soldier continued to explain: "Moreover, we promise that if the newcomers who go in maliciously grab the land and maliciously PK cause death, we will definitely take a zero-tolerance attitude to treat it, and we will create a fair competition and benign development of the mine operation environment for all newcomers......"
Ahh Change your career to become an official, this official tone has actually hit the deep mountains and old forests.
"How much is the clearance fee?" Lee apparently agreed with his explanation.
This is something that can't be helped, people are under the low eaves, they have to bow their heads, who called you a newcomer?
The warrior replied, "There are holes 1 to 5, 5 copper coins for 1 day in hole 1, 8 copper coins for 1 day on 2, 12 copper coins on 3, 15 copper coins on 4, and 20 on 5." β
This is what other novices can't tolerate, even if you kill lizards in the desert, the lizard skins collected for a day are sold to the NPCs in the village, at most 1 copper coin, you have to be tired for 5 days to get the admission ticket, but you don't necessarily guarantee that you can find the mine at one time after you go in, isn't this a loss-making transaction?
But Li Dalong doesn't think so, his thinking style has always been random speculation.
The first thing he thought of was the 20 copper coins that Contra gave him, Contra didn't give 10 or 30, but only 20, which shows that this well, this group of people and this price, Brother Soul probably knows about it.
The price of the five caves is different, which proves that the value of the minerals contained in each cave is different, and the people of the field artillery team outside the mountain undoubtedly saw this when they discovered this mine.
The so-called cheap is not good, good goods are not cheap, other newcomers are still chattering and complaining, but Li Dalong directly opened the transaction column: "Big brother, I will pay the money, I will enter the No. 5 hole." β
The warrior's attitude immediately changed: "Ah, hehe, brother, I wish you to find the magic crystal, my name is Violent Blood Blade, call me at any time if there is something inside, and promise to help you solve all your problems, huh?" Brother your name, a hard cucumber? Pickle girl artifact, ah......"
Li Dalong didn't bother to talk to him, so he spread his big feet and ran towards the entrance of Cave 5.
The reason why he runs like a mad dog is because his time is much more precious than other newcomers, and the system will force him to go offline after 3 hours, if he can't dig something up in these 3 hours, today's 20 copper coins will be handed over in vain, and he still wants to come in tomorrow, can he say that he can't open the way with a wooden stick?
The mine is not deep, and there are oil lamps along the way, so it seems that the field artillery team outside the mountain has organized a bully and dominated the market, and it still has invested a little money.
Running to the deepest part, Li Dalong opened the toolbox and observed for a while, then took out various shovels and hammers and started drying.
He didn't think he was doing this, but the guy next to him was very shocked.
The fee for the No. 5 hole is extremely high, and it is not uncommon for someone to enter the hole, but they come in with professional tools, which proves that they have a background.
It's not uncommon to have a background, the key is that this guy's "dry" method is really scary, Li Dalong first took a hammer and smashed a pile of rocks in the corner, and after smashing it open, he took out a sapper shovel and dug wildly, and then took out a mini drill and stabbed it indiscriminately, the speed is not only amazing, but also the strength is great, which is like a 1 or 2 level newcomer?
This is of course due to Li Dalong's strong innate attributes, but the most incisive point is that Li Dalong's various actions are like a hungry wolf pounced on a beautiful woman, tearing, biting, gnawing, grabbing, and killing ...... In short, it is a "dry" word!
Of course, if he is so nonsense, he will not be famous.
It didn't take a few minutes for the spiritual attributes to be exhausted, and I could only sit on the ground and gasp like an old cow.
"This ...... This big brother. The guy next to him asked cautiously, "My name is Tintin Fish." β
"Hello!" Dalong is still very kind to people, "What's the matter?" β
He only now discovered that there were only two people in Cave 5, himself and the Tintock, and this Tench was dressed exactly like himself, and it seemed that it was no more than level 2 at most, and it was obvious that everyone was a revolutionary comrade at the same stage.
"Big brother, what are you digging in such a hurry? I wonder if I can help? "This is deliberately stammering, level 1 and 2 newcomers can bring professional tools and dig so violently, there are few high-level friends behind them, it is absolutely impossible.
In fact, he was completely mistaken, Li Dalong is very hard now, so tired that he is like a dead dog, not to mention, the key is that he is poor and penniless.
Imagine that you can spend 20 copper coins to enter the No. 5 hole for mining, except for Li Dalong, who is his tench, so, is the tench simple?
"Oh, I didn't dig anything, just dig and dig!" Li Dalong replied with a smile.
To the ears of the tench, this is why people are reluctant to reveal the purpose.
This is also normal, after all, the first conversation between players is a little defensive, this is the most basic experience of walking the rivers and lakes, who has nothing to meet people is to tell the truth?
But the Ding Ding still secretly speculated, this guy is coming for the magic crystal?
It's good that he doesn't speculate, and this speculation will go wrong.
After Li Dalong rested for about a few minutes, his mental value was full, and he continued to turn on the mad dog mode with various tools, and did it lifelessly.
It still didn't take a few minutes, and there was still nothing, and Li Dalong could only sit on the ground and pant as a cow.
It's just that after sitting and sitting like him, and doing it seventeen or eighteen times repeatedly, all of a sudden, there was a crisp sound of "ding", and the sound was extremely pleasant, and I saw a dragon's eye-sized thing rolling out of the mound, which looked like a purple crystal.
"Huh?" Li Dalong picked it up and looked at it, "What is this?" β
He's "huh" there, the tinted fish next to him has green eyes, Nima is too lucky, right? Lao Tzu has been in this cave for almost three days, and all he has caught is some rotten goods, you are good, only an hour or two have come, and you actually got a magic crystal.
His psychology is actually wrong, Li Dalong certainly has some luck factors in it, but the fundamental reason is that people's mad dog mode is willing to work, the place that Li Dalong dug has formed a 5-meter-deep pit, on the other hand, the tench, here and there to touch, how can it be possible to pick good goods?
The magic crystal is the most basic but precious item in the "Ninth Continent", because the energy in it can be extracted and turned into a crystal source.
The crystal source is the foundation of all things, it can be injected into equipment to improve attributes, and it can also be directly cast into equipment; It can be used as a technological energy source and as a magical energy; It can feed and tame animals, and it can also inlay runes; It can even make all kinds of things, houses, vehicles, weapons, food, daily necessities, etc., in short, this thing is the energy that sustains Shijie.
Of course, the amount of crystal source extracted from the same magic crystal in different hands is different in different hands, depending on the skill and level.
Don't look at Li Dalong, this is the first time he has entered "The Ninth Continent", in fact, he also knows the magic crystal, because this thing not only exists in the game, but also the foundation of the real Shijie.
Today's human beings rely on magic crystals for all their energy sources, and the huge warships are clustered all over the universe headlessly, hoping to discover planets with magic crystals.
The federal government's design and conception of "The Ninth Continent" is also based on what the starships have seen and heard in the major planets in the real world, and to put it bluntly, the federal government also hopes that players will understand in the game how difficult it is to obtain magic crystals, so that everyone knows to cherish energy and save energy.
At this moment, the tench is there with envy, jealousy and hatred, but the mad dog dragon is lonely, empty and cold, because this is not what he wants.
"Big ...... Big brother, how much taste is there? "The tench began to test again, the base of the grade is the quality of the magic crystal, the higher the quality, the better, the greater the energy proposed, the purer.
"It says the grade is 12." Li Dalong didn't hide it from him this time, he had no concept of this base.
But his indifferent expression betrayed him deeply, and the tench completely saw that this guy came here to mine, definitely not for the magic crystal, and he couldn't figure out what raw materials for synthesizing props, so he decided to take a gamble and had the courage to ask: "Big ...... Big brother, what do you want to dig? What do you want...... Maybe I do. β
"Huh?" Li Dalong's curiosity suddenly flared up again.
