Chapter 18: Collecting Crystals
The light of the torch flickered. Li Yi's tired pace gradually returned to normal. Exclusive food items for time and space adventurers, even if there are restrictions on the use of non-combat premises, the effect is really good! In just a few moments, he had fully recovered.
Why the group of adventurers risked being obliterated to get rid of themselves, he didn't even think about it now, he just wondered what good it would do to the other party. The increase in the number of adventures in the sub-world will indeed greatly increase the difficulty, but it doesn't seem to be cost-effective compared to the evaluation of dropping two levels!
As I walked, I suddenly came to an unusually wide place in front of me. A tiny crystal can already be seen on the rails that transport the minecarts, as well as on the top of the mine. When you get to the place, as long as you get to the point of the pit under the mine hoist here from the author, you should be able to collect it along the way. not
When he went over to repair the equipment in those mines, Li Yi suddenly stopped. He was now in a deep pit not far from him, and an old man with a white beard was sitting there slumped and screaming.
"Hey~~Yo...... Who's going to help me poor old man, this damn mine is so slippery......"
The answer to a qiē question may be in the old man. Thinking like this in his heart, Li Yi took a few steps forward and picked up the old man.
"Old man, why do you want to enter this mine that has been abandoned for many years alone? Even if you have something you are looking for, you can entrust it to the young people of Nut Town. ”
The old man straightened up, glanced at Li Yi and said, "Hmph, if it weren't for you young people in Nut Town who were too slow, would I be so old that I would be guilty of going into this mine to find rock crystals by myself?" ”
"Old man, I just learned about this commission from the mayor this morning. Slow movements, where does this begin? ”
"Humph! If I hadn't informed the mayor, I don't know how long I would have waited! ”
The old man snorted angrily and snatched the cane from Li Yi's hand.
"Humph! Those bunnies! I waited in the town for a whole day, old man, and in the morning he said that I would wait in the pit first, but I didn't see the shadow of the three little rabbits for most of the day......
"Don't be angry, they don't come, am I not here? In this way, don't you want to collect rock ore? I'm going to collect it for you. ”
"That's pretty much it."
The old man said in a soothing tone. I saw that after he found a big stone next to him and sat down, he casually took out a round glass bottle like a lantern from his bosom.
"Well, just fill this bottle to the brim. Once the rock crystal ore is placed in this bottle, it will turn into gas as quickly as water vapor if the lid is not tightly closed, and there should be a lot of poisonous gas in the depths of this mine. It's not very toxic...... I'm old, you won't fight me for an antidote or two, right? ”
"Don't worry, old man, I'll be back soon."
Li Yi quickly agreed. This old man should be the big money in the mayor's mouth, and the three guys who promised him but released his pigeons should be the other three adventurers, but now, Li Yi has to work hard for Mario's girlfriend's birthday.
Taking the mine elevator down to the depths of the mine, Li Yi finally knew what the old man was talking about about suffocation. The torch in his hand was still burning tenaciously like a small oil lamp, but just looking at the green gas like clouds in front of him and the moss like small mushrooms under his feet, this place was by no means a place to stay for a long time!
Fortunately, the old man just filled himself with a small bottle, Li Yi thought as he quickly broke off a cluster of crystals not far from the elevator.
He chose the crystals according to the size of the mouth of the bottle, but he didn't expect that the crystals had entered the bottle, and a puff of green smoke came out! Li Yi's reaction was quite fast, and when he closed the lid again, the crystals inside were only the size of a grain of rice!
Damn, that old guy is definitely trying to trap me!
He cursed in his heart, but Li Yi still ran quickly towards the depths of the mine! The left hand uncovers the bottle cap, and the right hand breaks off the crystal and throws it directly in, capping the bottle cap, these actions are almost all in one go! When the cap was opened again, the green flocculent gas came out again, and just before the crystals that were newly placed in the bottle vaporized, another large crystal was thrown into the bottle!
After doing this several times, Li Yi plunged headlong into a small pit and gasped fiercely.
Before he knew it, Li Yi had already run all over the first half of the mine. In the bottle, the crystals have finally accumulated more than half. If you move quickly, you should be able to make a difference quickly.
But the real trouble is that now his hands have developed a numb feeling. My feet have been stinging since just now!
You have been infected with the unnamed toxin, and the reaction of the main affected area has decreased by 23%, please treat it promptly......
The old man didn't lie to him, this pit is really not very toxic in terms of rock crystal crystals or moss under his feet. But I didn't say what kind of effect this crystal and moss would have on him after the toxicity of the crystals and moss accumulated too much!
Quickly using a few nameless thaumaturgy to forcibly suppress the toxins in his hands and feet, Li Yi ran to the next small mine with air without stopping. Running with all his might, his figure can be described as galloping. Just as he was busy collecting the crystals, a strange sound reappeared in the depths of the mine.
Other adventurers again? No, this time the sound is as clear as before, but this time it is undoubtedly much louder and much more fragmented!
There are creatures in this mine! At this time, Li Yi really wanted to shout!
As soon as the waist is lowered, his degree is raised again! jumped up, and Li Yi's whole person flew up directly! Although there were many strange crabs the size of puppies under his feet, they only became garbage under Li Yi's feet! The right hand is numb, change to the left hand to collect, and it is too late to cover the bottle cap, so simply cover it with your hands! In this way, Li Yi transformed the entire pit in a very short time, and when he rushed back to the old man like a monkey, he was so tired that he could only pant like a dog.
"Huh? I didn't expect you to really collect it? Hehe, I thought you would come up right now that something is wrong! ”
The old man squinted at Li Yi, and he couldn't tell whether he was disdainful or surprised. After taking the bottle in Li Yi's arms, the old man threw a small money bag to him.
"Well, this is the reward of twenty gold coins that was agreed in advance. Well, young man, if you want to be a warrior, you'd better not be busy curing the poison on your feet and hands, as long as you find the Divine Power Mushroom...... Well, in the big mushroom forest north of this nut town, there should be that kind of magical mushroom ......"
The old man floated away, but Li Yi could only squat on the ground and pant fiercely.
He understands now. That group of adventurers must have been to this world once, but from the claw blades and shoes prepared by the agile adventurers, it was obvious that they didn't know that this seemingly useless crystal collection commission was actually an important step in learning the skills of this world.
-------------------------
Anyway, Li Yi, who was poisoned by the strange poison in his body, quickly returned to Nut Town with the reward. Just like the old man said, less than half a day after returning to Nut Town, the influence of that toxin on Li Yi gradually disappeared.
Of course, although the toxin receded, its impact on Li Yi's body was far from over. The most obvious thing is that when Li Yi accidentally checked his personal state in the light imprint, he found that he had an extra bloodline foundation LV3o!
It is impossible for a two-star difficulty fantasy world to make an adventurer's basic skills increase so lightly, and the only explanation is that this is just a temporary bloodline improvement in the world of the Mary Brothers.
For this temporary promotion, Li Yi didn't care so much at all. But what about the weird old man? What role does he play in this world? You must know that in that red and white machine game, there has never been such an old man at all!
At this point, the door was opened again, this time again by Mario. After Li Yi was poisoned in the mine, this honest man spent a lot of time and money almost every day to comfort Li Yi except for going to the mine by himself, but today, this guy definitely came later than two days ago, and his face was also frustrated like he had never been.
"Hey, Mario, what's wrong? I think today was Pauline's birthday, right? Did you her off again? ”
"Don't mention it."
Mario drops a bag of crushed bananas at the head of Li Yi's bed.
"I really don't understand why women are so difficult to serve, for her birthday, I made a special trip to the next town to buy a gift, but Pauline saw it, slammed the door shut, and said don't come to me again......"
"Then what did you send to make her so angry."
Li Yi has also worked in the flower shop for more than ten days, and thinks that Mario's problem must be in the flowers.
"Bananas!"
Mario clutched his hat in his hand, looking like he was about to cry.
"Doesn't she like bananas? I thought she would like to send this, but I didn't expect it...... Luigi, what now? Help me come up with ideas! ”
Lee wing Sparta. He figured it out, Mario was too honest, and Pauline was a romantic girl. Such a girl should give a large handful of roses or simply rare flowers that have been collected by hand from somewhere. If Pauline is moved, it is possible to eat Mario's "banana". Of course, this is not to say that Mario is so honest that he doesn't know how to send flowers, he just cares too much about Pauline and forgets the most basic.
Li Yi pondered how to convince Mario to give up Pauline, when a man stumbled into his room. Li Yi recognized that it was Charlie, the postman in the town, but now the handsome young man's face was full of anxiety.
"Oh no, the notorious turtle people from the north have taken Pauline away."
"What? How do you know? ”
"Uh...... That, um, I was in town delivering a letter and saw Pauline coming out of town from the north, so I ......"
These damned robbers! I can't spare them! ”
Like a burning butt, Mario disappeared without a trace. As for Li Yi, he can only lament. Pauline and Mario's inappropriate fate has not yet come to an end, because just now, his main quest has been updated again, and the content is to rescue Pauline.
Mario is related to the main quest, and he must not be allowed to be in danger alone, but when he asked the handsome postman Charlie to help take care of the house, Li Yi couldn't help but look at the other party a few more times. It's not that he suspects that what the other party said is false, but he thinks that this handsome guy is the most likely reason for Mario to give up Pauline.
