Chapter 14: Horror in the Mine
() Digging iron ore, you can dig almost ten or twenty pieces in an hour, but most of them are the most worthless first-class iron ore. Of course, you also need a mining shovel to mine, an ordinary mining shovel needs ten copper coins, which can be dug about a hundred, a good mining shovel needs a hundred copper coins, which can dig five hundred, and a jīng good mining shovel needs one silver coin, which can dig eight hundred. On the surface, the more high-end the mine shovel seems to be the less resistant to digging, the same coin is better to buy a few more ordinary shovels, in fact, it is not, old players like Fang Tianzheng know that those high-level places are particularly hard, ordinary mine shovels can only be shoveled a little in four or five times, and excellent mine shovels are opened at once, which is not only labor-saving and time-saving, but also requires less shovels. It can be said that when shoveling to those advanced ore layers, it is more cost-effective to use a more advanced shovel.
Of course, the mine is also a place where risks and profits coexist, and there is a certain chance that you will come across some special treasure chests. Such as the Rotten Skeleton Chest, the White Bone Skeleton Chest, and the Blood Sè Skeleton Chest. Of course, these treasure chests will be guarded by corresponding evil creatures.
As the saying goes, the greater the risk, the greater the benefit, and these chests often lead to something called a rough stone. There are three kinds of rough stones, gem ore, gem jīng mine, and gem mine. The raw ore can produce gems of grade 4 to 7, the jīng mine can produce gems of grade 5 to 8, and the rare ore can produce gems of grade 6 to 10.
The purpose of gems is nothing more than to set them in equipment weapons to increase their power and resistance. Level 4 gemstones can be increased by 40% each. The level 10 gem is increased by 100% per item, and since the number of grooves inlaid on the equipment is limited, it is natural that the higher the gem level, the better.
The ore vein will produce a lot of new ore every day, of course, the premise is that the original ore must be excavated, if it is not dug up, it will not regenerate new ore, so these ores need people to excavate, but for the aborigines, mining is not once or twice, although the probability of encountering those murderous creatures is very small, but if you dig for a year or two, it is still very likely to encounter murderous objects, even the weakest skeletons, they encounter it is difficult to escape death.
So for the aborigines, unless they are prisoners or prisoners, there are generally no people who want to come down to mine, they prefer to do some logging and quarrying work. The arrival of the alien solves this problem.
Fang Tianzheng came to the entrance of the mine alone, the mine was surrounded by a fence, there were two rows of spearmen and a general guard at the entrance, and after entering, you could see the brightly lit mine entrances, there were more than twenty soldiers at each of these holes, their tasks were not only to guard the mines, but also to buy the ore dug in the hands of the players and sell the ore shovels to the players.
Fang Tianzheng saw that from time to time, there were players coming in and out, selling ores or buying ore shovels.
"Bring me ten regular shovels." Fang Tian said to the guards.
"Ten copper coins for an ordinary mining shovel, ten hundred copper coins, and of course a more advanced mining shovel, do you want it?" A soldier outside the mine said to Fang Tianzheng.
"No, a normal shovel is enough."
After paying a hundred copper coins, Fang Tianzheng paid a deposit of another silver coin to get a helmet with a miner's lamp from the guard, which could last for eight hours, and then he had to go back to the doorman to refill the lamp oil. When you come out of the mine, you can get back the deposit for that silver coin by handing in the helmet, and if you can turn in more helmets, the guards will pay you half the price. Why not buy a more advanced mining shovel? Because Fang Tianzheng didn't plan to come here to mine at all, mining can make a few bucks, now Fang Tianzheng's eyes are all in gold coins, and digging a mine is only ten or twenty copper coins, Fang Tianzheng can't look down on it.
This time, Fang Tianzheng mainly played the idea of those raw mines, to see if he could get one, or buy one from other players.
After walking into the mine, the main mine road is still brightly lit, but as Fang Tianzheng gradually goes deeper, the light is getting darker and darker, and a few screams can be heard in the ears from time to time, needless to say, there must be players who have encountered those murderous things in the mine, for players at this stage, even if they encounter the lowest skeletons, it is estimated that they will die in nine lives.
I don't know when, Fang Tianzheng turned around and looked at the branch mine path he was walking on, it seemed that there were no other players besides himself, and in the entire mine path, he could only hear the sound of his feet stepping on the ground covered with countless fine particles. The whole environment gives people a strange sense of coldness.
"Hey, it seems that mining is still a job that tests people's courage, presumably ordinary female xìng players will definitely not dare to come down to mine alone." Fang Tianzheng muttered to himself, and when he thought of the murderous things that might appear in the mine, he couldn't help but start trembling in his heart.
After walking for a while, he randomly picked a mine hole, and Fang Tianzheng entered it, the mines in these branches were all left by the previous excavations, and none of these mines were equipped with stones for lighting, so all the light could only rely on the miner's lamp on his head.
Walking cautiously in this mine, the miner's lamp overhead can only shine to a range of about five meters, and beyond that, it will be pitch black. Fang Tianzheng listened carefully to the voices along the way, afraid that he had missed something.
I walked for more than 20 minutes in this way, and finally came to the end of this branch mine, and there was no road ahead. If it weren't for the fact that he had only walked for more than twenty minutes after looking at the system time display, Fang Tianzheng would have thought that he had been walking for more than two hours.
"Okay, let's mine in this place."
Taking out the mining shovel, Fang Tianzheng began to pretend to be mining.
Clang, clang, the shovel kept knocking on the mine wall and making a clanging sound.
Fang Tianzheng did not focus on mining, but listened carefully to the movements around him.
"Damn, I've dug up a mine shovel, why hasn't there been any movement, it seems that there are no murderous creatures around here. Looks like it's going to try it in a different place. ”
Throwing away the scrapped shovel, Fang Tianzheng began to walk towards the road he had come, as for the dozen or so first-grade iron ore on the ground, Fang Tianzheng didn't pick them up, and he didn't look down on the dozen copper coins at all.
Tianzheng was still worried all the way, although he knew that this was just a game, but walking alone in such a dark mine, he subconsciously felt quite scared, and he must bring a few of his subordinates to mine again in the future, Fang Tianzheng made up his mind in his heart.
After walking for a while, Fang Tianzheng randomly chose another location in this mine and began to dig again.
Bang, clang. Fang Tianzheng was constantly swinging his shovel against the mine wall, and from time to time he suddenly turned his head to look back, for fear that something like a zombie skeleton would suddenly appear behind him.
"Damn, no, I can scare myself crazy if I go on like this, there are no ghosts in the world, but my own imagination is too strong, and I can imagine one in my brain consciousness without ghosts."
"Forget it, let's go back first, anyway, I didn't expect to get a rough stone this time, if I keep being suspicious like this, I'm afraid I'll be abnormal."
Thinking about it, Fang Tianzheng was about to go home.
"No, how can you be so timid, those who achieve great things must have a resolute, brave and fearless heart, and what are you afraid of, besides, these are all imagined by yourself, you must not go, you should be training your mind." Soon, another voice sounded in Fang Tianzheng's head.
Just as Fang Tianzheng had made up his mind to continue staying, and at the same time, he had just mustered up a surge of courage in his heart, when suddenly a slight sound of surface ore breaking sounded, and he turned around to take a look.
Hiss, this look immediately frightened all the courage that Fang Tianzheng had just mustered collapsed instantly, and his heart was shocked, and the hairs of the whole person stood up.
The next moment, Fang Tianzheng immediately wanted to escape, but under the control of reason, Tianzheng did not escape.
