Chapter 15 Mining

Working in the Sky Mine was not a simple matter, and it would take nearly three days for a complete D-rank Star Source Stone to be mined by a third-order skilled miner. So if you're going to urinate or eat during this time, you can't do anything. Therefore, miners will make sufficient preparations before mining, use high-energy food to maintain their energy needs, and try not to eat or defecate for three days. Since high-energy foods are very pure foods, there is basically no problem with not eating and not defecating for three days, but urinating is something that many miners can't do without sprinkling once in three days, so the miners who are dedicated to two things will always carry a few plastic bottles with them.

As a novice, Chenping not only did not prepare enough, but even brought a plastic bottle. At first he didn't understand why the miners were carrying so many things, but now he didn't even have a chance to regret it. But fortunately, I had an experience during the outer space expedition some time ago, and it was no problem to support it for an extra day and a half. After the sixteenth defeat, he filled his stomach and sprinkled all his urine on the only plastic bottle, and began to condense star energy again. He knew that he was inexperienced, and he didn't plan to stay on the sky platform for three days. Anyway, he had two D-grade Star Source Stones on him, which was enough to live in the living area of the mine for a period of time, so he didn't care very much about not being able to mine Star Source Stones in a short period of time.

Before I knew it, it was already late at night, there was no reflection of lights in the sky, and the starlight in the sky was particularly bright, and it had failed more than twenty times, and Chenping almost began to doubt whether he would succeed. You must know that the mining method he uses is different from the ordinary skills, it is still the advanced skill provided by Morningstar, and the introduction of star energy into the star pattern while mining is far superior to the ordinary training method.

Naturally, he continued to work, and Chenping was a little numb at this time, but his movements became a lot smoother. The condensed star energy slowly formed a vortex of energy between the hands. According to the general skill, the speed of the energy vortex should be increased at this time, and after reaching a limit, it should begin to condense the star source stone, and continue to pour star energy into it. However, Chenping's method is different, after the energy vortex is completed, the star energy slowly flows into the left hand, and after a week of running in the star pattern in the body, it flows out from the right hand. The vortex of energy between the hands seems to become a power source, which determines the amount and speed of star energy flowing into the body. In fact, until this time, Chenping did not intercept a trace of star energy, because the quality of star energy at this time was too low, and it could not be integrated into the star energy system in the body at all. However, because of the starenergy, a small part of the starenergy in the body is integrated into the energy vortex, and the quality of the starenergy in the energy vortex is improved much faster. After a full hour, Chenping's movements paused slightly, and the operation of the energy vortex also stopped.

With a "dang" sound, a small stone fell on the platform. Unexpectedly, this time it was not a complete failure, and Chenping finally condensed a small star source stone. He happily picked up the stone and looked at it carefully, feeling a little disappointed. It's just a small F-grade rock, the lowest grade waste rock. However, this small success still made him feel a lot more energetic, and after calming down his mood, he was ready to continue to work. But at this time, he glanced at the location of the other miner, and found that the guy had disappeared, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Got the mine so quickly?" Chenping said suspiciously, but then vetoed the speculation himself. Even a fourth-order miner would take nearly two days to mine a D-grade star source stone, and that guy couldn't have mined the mine so quickly. Then there is only one possibility left, that guy should feel that he is not in a state and leave early to rest!

This is the difference between a veteran and a novice, a veteran miner only needs half a day or a day to know whether he can mine or not, and will never waste time on useless struggles. However, Chenping, a first-time novice, naturally could not have such a high consciousness, and he still had to accumulate experience with more failures, so he soon began his struggle again - it was work!

"Dang!" Another Starstone fell on top of the platform. This is already Chenping's sixth F-grade star source stone, looking at the already rising sun, Chenping helplessly sprinkled a soak of urine again. The plastic bottle is almost full, which means that the next time you want to pee, you have to leave the platform or spill your urine in the water bag. After six mining attempts, Chenping finally had some confidence in his mining skills, so he was ready to try the full version of the mining skills offered by Morningstar. He took out a D-class star source stone, held it in his left hand, and began to guide the star energy inside into his body.

The quality of the star source stone depends on the quality of the starenergy in the condensed energy vortex, and the method adopted by Chenping is to directly use high-quality starenergy to condense the energy vortex to attract high-quality starenergy convergence. If it is done properly, at least the quality of the condensed Star Source Stone will not be inferior to the D grade. Of course, all of this is an ideal assumption, in fact, the first time Chenping used this method to mine was an E-grade star source stone.

"The control and persistence are not enough, maybe I am tired! Why don't you get some sleep first? Feeling a little overwhelmed, Chenping had the idea of resting. After thinking about it for a while, he rejected this idea and continued to work.

The price of a Star Source Stone is determined by the quality and the amount of Star Energy stored inside. For example, if the quality is D-grade, then how much energy is stored in this star source stone, it is also a D-level star source stone. However, according to the amount of energy, the qualified star source stones are divided into three levels: D-, D, and D+, and the energy values stored in them correspond to more than 10,000, more than 100,000, and more than 1 million respectively. That is to say, if Chenping wants to mine a D-grade star source stone, he must at least provide more than 10,000 energy values for this star source stone. It's a pity that when he tried the second time, when he condensed to about three thousand energy, he was distracted because he couldn't hold it back, so that this attempt failed again!

"At such a critical time, this urine is too untimely!" Chenping reluctantly stopped his movements, and then fell from the Star Source Stone.

The lack of energy made the internal structure of the Star Source Stone unstable, and Chenping watched the golden stone gradually turn into orange, although he felt sorry in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. In the end, the Star Source Stone was downgraded from D-level to E-level, and as the energy became mixed, Chenping felt that the energy storage inside had increased a lot. It's just that E-grade is E-grade, and no matter how much energy there is, it can't compare to D-grade Star Source Stone. You must know that the energy in the F and E star source stones on the market is not at the level of millions or tens of millions at every turn, but the price is still lower than that of D-grade star source stones - after all, the quality determines the price!

At the end of the first mining, he still didn't find a D-grade star source stone, and Chenping was a little disappointed in his heart. However, even a skilled miner can't find a mine every time, so he comforted himself and calmed down a lot. Pack up your belongings and get ready to leave the platform. Those F-grade and E-grade Xingyuan stones can be used as money in the living area, so they naturally have to be put away, and the garbage produced in the past two days must be cleaned up. Because this is a high-altitude mine, ordinary garbage can be turned into high-altitude bombs at any time, and anything can kill people. Due to the previous incidents of fatal falling objects from high altitudes, the mine has taken this aspect very seriously.

After packing up his things, Chenping began to think about whether to turn off the platform and jump down, or not to close the platform and jump down. As soon as there is no one on the platform, it will automatically shut down after three minutes. However, the management of the mine has always encouraged the miners to close the day before leaving, after all, they are all down, so why waste the company's resources! It's just that for a novice like Chenping, turning off the platform and jumping in ten seconds and jumping from a height of 10,000 meters is a bit scary. But after thinking about it for a while, Chenping decided to close the platform and jump down, because he was too anxious to have time to grind here. Walking to the edge of Pingshi, he gently pressed the close button, Chenping took a deep breath, and then jumped up like a fish leaping and plunged into the air......
