CH.61 Gold

The mine is like a labyrinth, criss-crossing and extending in all directions.

The group walked in this underground labyrinth, each carrying a glass lamp in their hands, and a circular halo of light spread out, connecting into a line of light, cutting through the darkness.

At the head were two people, one a dwarf and the other Anrui.

The dwarf is the head of the gold mine, named Boulder, and is one of Cheryl's right-hand men. He had all the characteristics of a dwarf, only half the height of Anrui, short and stout, with long hair tied into braids on his head and a big beard around his mouth. He carried a pickaxe on his back and wore a pair of worn but sturdy cowhide boots on his feet.

Under Cheryl's arrangement, Anrui went deep into here with Stubborn Stone and a group of miners to find new ore veins.

This seems to others to be a whimsical thing. But for Anrui, it's just a "mission" that has been done before.

The quest is called "Where Are the Ore Veins?", and the mission is to help the Boulder find new ore veins. When doing this task, it is very troublesome to dig in the east and dig in the west. Fortunately, Anrui had done this task before, and he had already written down the content of the task, so he didn't need to look for it anymore, just go directly to the location of the hidden ore vein and dig it up.

In fact, he knew not only the location of this vein, but also the location of many other veins in Ludao. This one is the smallest of the many veins, and all that is produced is gold. He knew the location of many large ore veins, including not only gold veins, but also diamond veins, as well as veins of some rare ores.

Now An Rui's career has just started, and he doesn't have enough money on hand, and he doesn't have enough manpower to mine these ore veins, so this time he cheapened Cheryl, and he just used this ore vein in exchange for an opportunity to use the space treasure chest. After he develops, he will no longer do this kind of thing of making wedding dresses for people, but will independently mine those veins and make huge profits from them. When the time comes, he can dig and sell the ore he digs by boat, and sell the ore he has dug to a place with a high price.

"We dwarves are a people of the mountains, the ancient gods cast the dwarves from the rocks of the mountains, we were born from the mountains, died in the mountains, and we are the race that knows the mountains best. For the past year, I've been helping Boss Cheryl find new ore veins, living in this mine every day, eating, drinking, and sleeping here. But even I haven't been able to find the vein, how can you find it? The stubborn rock who walked in front thought. Ever since Cheryl asked him to take Anrui into the mines, he'd been at odds with that.

"I know some of the secrets of finding ore veins." An Rui replied casually.

"Oh, secret arts, why haven't I heard of this kind of secret arts?"

"Everyone has things they don't understand, and that's normal."

"I don't really know anything else, but I'm an expert at finding veins."

"I don't deny this, but there is a good saying, a mountain is still a mountain high."

"You mean you're a yellow-haired boy who's better at finding veins than me, a dwarf?" There was a hint of anger in the rough voice of the stubborn stone, and he turned around, frowning a thick, thick brow, and raised his face to glare at An Rui.

"Mr. Stubborn Stone, don't be so angry, the truth will come to light over time. In a few days, if I can't get a new vein of gold in front of you, you'll be able to make fun of me as much as you want. But for now, please move on, we have important business ahead of us. Anrui smiled and spread his hands, and used words to extinguish the dwarf's anger.

The stubborn stone stared at An Rui for a moment, pouted, and snorted, before turning back and continuing to move forward.

Anrui was understandable about the dwarf's anger, the other party was the authority in this regard, and he was breaking that authority. Before he dug up the veins, the boulder would definitely be directed at him at every turn, and he had to learn to be patient. There is no point in fighting with a stubborn stone or going toe-for-tat.

In the face of real enemies, An Rui will never be soft, but in the face of some small frictions, An Rui will not care too much, he still has this belly.

Forward, forward, forward.

The group cut through the darkness and walked for a long time in the mine before finally reaching their destination. To be precise, it is the destination in Anrui's heart.

"Stop, this is it, dig from here to the back, dig about five yards, and you can see gold." An Rui suddenly shouted to stop, and reached out to touch the stone wall beside him.

From the outside, there is nothing unusual about this stone wall, and there is not a trace of gold, so it is no wonder that no one has started here. But An Rui knew that behind this stone wall, there was a large amount of gold lurking.

"Are you sure it's here?" Sure enough, Boulder was the first to question, "It doesn't look like there's gold here." ”

"There are often undercurrents lurking beneath the calm sea, and you can't just look at the surface. Listen to me, start digging from here, and if you can't dig up gold, I'm willing to pay any responsibility. An Rui is colorful.

"Okay, listen to him, just dig here, if you can't dig up gold, see what he says." The boulder snorted and removed the pickaxe he was carrying.

The rest of the miners also took action, some removed digging tools, others removed small explosives.

In this way, everyone began the excavation work. Using various means such as blasting and excavation, it competed with the stone wall.

An Rui was not idle, and then helped a little, digging up some stones without putting any shelves. He is a man who likes to experiment with all kinds of things, and this is the opportunity to experience the life of a miner.

At the end of the first day, everyone had dug about three yards, and the progress was okay. After all, the rock formations here are very hard, and they are not dirt, so they are not so easy to dig.

The next day, the excavation continued, and by the time evening came, the excavation had finally reached five yards.

Anrui worked hard with many miners to dig and sweat in the mine. Someone proposed to rest, but he sternly refused, now that victory is in sight, how can he rest.

"Ding!"

Another pickaxe went down, and the metal and stone collided with a little spark, a little golden light, flashing out from the collision, and under the illumination of the light, it was particularly eye-catching.

An Rui was the first to lean in front of the golden light, reached out and touched it, and a piece of golden ore showed the bean-sized corners, which were extremely smooth to the touch. This golden glow is the same as the glow of gold.

People who have worked in the mines all year round are so familiar with gold that they can recognize it at a glance. The miners, including the stubborn stone, threw away their tools one after another and gathered around. After seeing the golden ore that An Rui caressed clearly, they let out excited exclamations one by one.

"Oh my God! Really dug up the gold! ”

"So there's still gold in this mine! Ha Lu Ha! ”

"It's a shame that we haven't found it for so long, so the vein is here!"

All the miners danced happily and excavated the ore vein, and everyone had merit, which was the rule of the mine. As the owner of the mine, Cheryl rewards everyone here.

"Don't be too happy, the appearance of gold does not mean that there are veins here, maybe there is only a little bit of it." The stubborn stone didn't cheer with everyone, he really didn't believe that An Rui could find the ore vein so easily.

"Mr. Stubborn Stone is right, it's too early to be happy, let's dig up all this place." An Rui chimed in, unimpressed.

When everyone saw the gold, it was like being beaten with chicken blood, and the previous fatigue was swept away, and one by one they waved their pickaxes and dug deeper. As the excavation progressed, more and more gold ore was revealed, and the yellow color was so pleasing.

The small one is the size of a fist, and the big one is like a watermelon, and if you take out a piece of it, you can make the poor go crazy.

Seeing these gold ores, the stubborn stone was completely convinced, this is indeed a vein.

"I didn't expect you to actually find a vein." The stubborn stone looked incredulous, holding the freshly excavated gold ore in his hand, looking over and over again.

The dwarves thought it was a farce, and took Anrui for a liar. Unexpectedly, An Rui was telling the truth and really found the ore vein. This means that the young man in front of him has some kind of unknown special means to be able to find the ore vein accurately! Oh my God, that's terrible!

"I'm glad I found it, otherwise, you wouldn't have let me go easily." Anrui looked at the gold that had been dug up and smiled.

"How the hell did you find this vein, tell me! Tell me! The boulder threw down the gold, and like a madman, pounced on Anrui. Others were shocked by the gold, but he was shocked by Anrui's methods.

"Stubborn stone, sir, please calm down, this is a trade secret, I can't tell you." An Rui's smile turned bitter, and he dodged the boulder in a flash, he didn't want to hug a dwarf uncle.

"Please, tell me! I would love to be your student! The stubborn stone still did not give up.

An Rui's head was big for a while, and it was impossible for him to tell others his secrets, and he couldn't come up with anything to teach the stubborn stone. He can only use trade secrets as an excuse to reject the stubborn stone again and again.

After being rejected again and again, the stubborn stone finally regained his composure and dispelled the idea of studying from An Rui, looking very depressed.

After a while, Cheryl rushed over when she heard the news, and the gold vein was dug up here, so she naturally had to inform the boss behind the scenes.

After seeing the yellow gold, Cheryl, the businesswoman, was slightly moved, and a look of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Obviously, she agreed to let An Rui come here to find the ore vein, mostly out of gambling, and she was not completely sure. Now, she's got her bet right.

"An Rui, you said before that you wanted to borrow a space treasure chest from me. Now that you've made good on your promise and helped me find new veins, it's my turn to make good on that promise. Tell me, why do you want to borrow a space treasure chest? Cheryl turned around and looked at An Rui, her face had quickly regained her calm, showing her extraordinary psychological quality.

The previous negotiations between the two were still in the preliminary stage, and there were no detailed talks at all, but now it is finally time for detailed talks.

"I led people to hunt a Thundering Demon Tree near Iron Cannon Harbor and wanted to transport it back to Iron Cannon Harbor, but it was too large for me to transport, so I thought of borrowing a space treasure chest from you. I hope you can do me a favor and lend me the space treasure chest. An Rui explained.

As soon as these words came out, it caused a whisper among the surrounding miners, as the people of the Iron Cannon Harbor, they had naturally heard of the active monsters in the surrounding area, and knew how difficult it was to deal with the Thundering Demon Tree. Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him not only had the ability to find ore veins, but also hunted monsters like the Thundering Demon Tree, which was really powerful.

"No problem, this reason is very valid, I can lend you the space treasure chest." Cheryl thought for a moment, then agreed to it, and then changed the conversation, "However, I have to transport the Thundering Demon Tree with you, after all, the space treasure chest is very valuable, even if you do me a great favor, I can't lend it to you casually, I have to leave it to you for supervision." ”

If someone in the know hears this, they may think that Cheryl will be a burden to the past. But An Rui wouldn't think so, he knew very well that the woman with an excellent temperament in front of him was not only a businessman, but also a level 13 wizard, who would never hold back, but could become the most powerful escort on this trip.

"It's an honor to be with Miss Cheryl." An Rui said happily.
