After gaining a large amount of general experience, Riel did not rush to increase the creature level, but instead threw all of it into the [Miner] class, raising the class level to level 9.

Increasing his class level by 5 levels in a row, Riel gained 3 Strength Stats and 2 Constitution Stats.

Compared with the first-order professions, there is a clear difference in the number of attribute points brought by each level of occupation, the zero-tier class is about 1 point per level, and the first-order profession is about 2 points per level.

After increasing his strength to 17, his constitution to 16, and his mining skills to level 5, Rare's mining ability is comparable to that of a veteran gold miner who has been mining professionally for twenty years.

After a long period of excavation, with 95% of the project volume covered by the sledgehammer and high-intensity work, the team finally worked together to dig through the rock formation and breathe free fresh air!

The rock formation was a little thicker than Riel had expected, and Riel hoped they had dug into a basin somewhere.

However, when I poked out of the tunnel, I looked...... Outside, it's still a dark underworld.

Unfortunately, he and Sledgehammer seemed to dig and dig, as if they had dug into an open underground world.

Feeling the flow of air around him in the dim green light of the green lantern, Rare concluded.

"Go at two o'clock, there should be a road to the surface somewhere, it should be ......"

In this strange underground space, no one knows where it will lead without a detailed road map.

After all, this is the underground world, and the above-ground world is two different concepts in terms of the limitations of the road and the complexity of the three-dimensional space.

A detailed underground stereoscopic map is something vital to exploring the underworld.

However, Riel is not panicked at all, as long as his mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties.

The problem of access does not hinder Rare's progress, and there is no road that is a big deal to dig up and pull it down.

Anyway, there is a perpetual excavator with a sledgehammer, at most it will take some time......

Unlike in the mine, the space is almost completely dark, with no lighting present.

Riel can only rely on the green crystal lantern in his hand as a light source.

Although the lantern is not particularly bright, Riel's perception ability is twice that of ordinary people, and with the ability bonus of [Extreme Meme], he can rely on the light emitted by the lantern to see the situation within 100 meters of his surroundings.

And with the help of hearing and smelling to trigger the senses, the dark environment has very limited restrictions on Ariel.

In the underground world with a complex environment, the importance of the [Perception] attribute is particularly prominent.

In the gloomy environment, Sledgehammer's movements became noticeably restrained.

Without Riel's stride to lead the way, he wouldn't have been able to move an inch, even if he had a lantern.

Advancing for about an hour in a dark and empty world, this space is not very steep, extremely empty, as flat as a plain.

Along the way, there are no monsters like traditional MMRPGs, just endless darkness and desolation covered with rubble.

On the way, I don't know if it's because the distance is far enough, or because the time for encirclement and suppression has ended, the system issued a prompt.

[Quest [Siege Outstanding] completed]

[Mission Evaluation: D]

[Reward: 350 General Experience]

It seems that because it is not a head-on fight against the encirclement as stated in the mission description, but an opportunistic one, the mission evaluation is as low as last time.

However, due to the relatively high difficulty of the mission, despite only having a D-class evaluation, Rare managed to gain 350 valuable General Experience points.

Totaling the remaining general experience, Riel spent 1,500 general experience points to raise [Miner] to the maximum level of 10.

The addition of a little physique strengthens Arrail's continuous endurance.

As time passed, things began to appear on the ground not only monotonous stones, but all kinds of messy debris began to emerge.

Most of these items float on the surface, but a few are embedded in rock formations, and there are various types of debris, but most of them are the remains of artifacts that are difficult to identify.

The styles of the items are also varied, and it is difficult to give a uniform tone, like a garbage heap mixed with multiple civilizations.

The broken debris exudes the breath of history, giving people a sense of desolation of the fall of civilization.

Riel looked at the clutter on the ground and made inferences to himself.

Judging by the surrounding rubble and some items embedded in the rock formation, these things were originally embedded in the rock formation.

Judging from their location, the era of these miscellaneous objects is much later than the [Age of Nothingness] in which the Mechanical Empire is located, at least a few versions of the game.

All the debris scattered on the ground was artificially excavated, and it won't be long.

This gave Riel a slight look.

Biological activity of people or other sapient races in the vicinity.

After a few more glances, these things are basically genuine garbage, and most of them can't jump out of the information panel.

Even if there are a few relatively complete artifacts, they are all gray [Broken XX] [XX Fragments], and their original functions have long been lost, and they can basically only be used as inferior weapons and armor to exert residual heat.

From this, Rare can conclude that not all items left over from the previous version have the [Relic] attribute, and only certain special items can open the Relic Dungeon.

Otherwise, it is not realistic in terms of the amount of replica engineering.

Riel and his party continued to walk forward for an hour, and sporadic green spots of light began to appear in their field of vision.

These faint green points of light floated in the empty underground plains like lonely ghosts, exuding a strange aura.

The sharp-eyed Riel could tell at a glance that these points of light were humanoids carrying green crystal lights.

They were wielding tools halfway between shovels and pickaxes, doing the digging work that was almost as similar to what Riel had inferred.

After a few glances, Riel gathered a bunch of information, and he quickly judged that these people should be scavengers who had broken away from the Federation of Order.

This area is probably the so-called lawless zone, at least that's what Riel thinks for now......

[Looks like you're not on the wrong path......]

These people don't seem to have the ability to farm and farm in the ground, and the source of food should be inseparable from the support of the surface world, and it is clear that this area must have a passage to the surface.

As the footsteps progressed, the green light spots began to increase, and some simple shack-like buildings appeared in front of them, forming some kind of loose settlement.

Many people come and go in the settlements, bartering in the most primitive way.

As if the existence of the two Riel was discovered, some scattered green points of light began to move closer to them, gradually forming a trend of encirclement.

These people are dressed in shabby clothes and have a strange style, holding various dilapidated weapons excavated from rock formations, and they smell of wasteland, which basically looks like the déjà vu of inferior humanoid monsters in the wild.

Looking closely at the creatures roaming underground, Riel senses a fierce sense of vigilance and hostility on their faces.

This kind of vigilant mood makes Riel very relaxed, which shows that the other party's strength is not at first glance.

Otherwise, in the case of an absolute superiority in numbers, such a nervous face would not have appeared.

【Trigger Quest [Wilderness Outcast]]

【Type: Exploration】

[Contents: You have encountered a group of barbarian outcasts who have escaped the order, they are deformed products in the cracks of this world, use your wisdom and courage to educate or defeat them!] 】

【Reward: Unknown】

A stout man with horns on his head and a shabby armor made from pieces of shards stepped forward, scrutinizing the two of them vigilantly and muttering.

"Who are you, violence is forbidden here, put down the weapons in your hands, and honestly explain your identity and intentions, otherwise don't blame us for being polite......"
