Chapter 5: Gold Ore

Ready for underground mining, Wei Ziyang began to go underground.

For safety reasons, Wei Ziyang at the entrance to the mine was set up in the stone house, and a special door to the underground was built to prevent monsters from invading the base camp in the house.

Calculated as one meter as a layer, there are only five or six layers of soil on the ground, and they are dug down in a stepped shape, so that it is convenient to travel underground and above ground. When encountering rocks, Wei Ziyang replaced the stone shovel with a stone pickaxe, and the whole excavation process was not too laborious, and a rock could be chiseled apart in three or two clicks.

Iron ore is still a relatively common material in my world, it is indispensable, it can be used to make iron swords, iron axes, buckets, etc., once you reach deeper underground, the 'lack of iron' will be difficult to move an inch, because the stone pickaxe cannot dig many precious ores underground, and the speed will become slower and slower.

Fortunately, iron ore is more common in my world, and with good luck, when digging to the eighth layer, Wei Ziyang encountered iron ore. Iron ore is different from other rocks in that it has many red spots on it, and that is iron.

"Bell!"

"Click......"

His wrist was numb, and the stone pickaxe in his hand was shattered.

The toughness of the stone pickaxe is insufficient, the durability is poor, and it is easy to wear out, and when it encounters iron ore, it is even more difficult.

Fortunately, Wei Ziyang was well prepared before coming down, and took out a stone pickaxe from the game backpack to continue digging iron ore.

"Iron Ore Pickup*1"

"Picking up iron ore ......"

"It's only five..."

However, after hollowing out the iron ore, a kind of black-spotted stone appeared in the rock, and the surface looked somewhat charcoal-like.

"Coal Mine!"

Wei Ziyang's eyes lit up, and he immediately excavated. Coal ore can be refined into coal, which can be used as fuel in furnaces, which is more efficient than charcoal. It can also be used to make torches, which are used for lighting and other functions, although the chicken ribs in the later stage, but the early stage has a great effect.

"Make an iron pickaxe first. Wei Ziyang said and released the furnace in his backpack first. Compared to stone pickaxes, mining with iron pickaxes is more effortless and faster.

Iron ore cannot be made directly into iron, and impurities need to be removed from the furnace to obtain iron ingots to make iron.

But before that, Wei Ziyang had to put the coal he had just obtained into the furnace and fill it with charcoal to obtain some coal that was more efficient than charcoal, otherwise he would have to wait for charcoal to make iron.

Then the iron ore is put into the furnace and after a few minutes it will get 5 iron ingots. Finally, release the workbench in the backpack, put three pieces of iron and wooden sticks in the corresponding position of the nine-square grid, and click to make them.

"Crafted an Iron Ore Pickaxe*1"

When he held a mine pickaxe with iron light in his hand, Wei Ziyang obviously felt the heavy weight, and jumped to try it for a while.

"Bang......" When the iron pickaxe slammed into the rock next to it, the rock exploded directly, shattering a rock in just one stroke.

Changing a shotgun for a cannon saves time and effort, and it is much easier to dig down with an iron pickaxe.

Three pieces of iron have been used to craft an iron pickaxe, and the remaining two are not enough to make an iron pickaxe, but enough to make an iron sword. There are many natural caves underground, and at night, you will also spawn all kinds of monsters to make an iron sword.

Break the crafting table and furnace, and then pick it up again after dropping it, and carry it with you when you have it, so it's always useful.

With the addition of the iron ore pickaxe this time, Wei Ziyang's mining speed has more than doubled, and he can dig more than a dozen layers in a short time, without effort.

"Strange, why don't you see the natural mine cave?" Wei Ziyang was surprised.

Although I also encountered iron ore once during this period, this efficiency was too low after all. And if you want to find more ore, you have to find natural mines. The so-called natural mine refers to the natural formation of the underground mine, in this kind of mine, the gold and iron ore are exposed to the outside, and it is more convenient to find and excavate.

Otherwise, digging around by himself would require too much physical strength, and his hunger value would have been consumed by more than half in this time.

took out a roast leg of lamb and swallowed it, based on his previous experience in playing games, Wei Ziyang no longer dug down, but began to explore to the right side. Digging in a straight line will save you time to get to the ground, but you will also miss the ore along the way. What's more, it is really dangerous for real people to enter, Wei Ziyang did not dare to rush into the depths of magma, and decided to take a more conservative way.

"Knock ......"

The echo of the space shocked Wei Ziyang's spirit, and when he looked at it, he found a black hole, and immediately plugged in a torch to illuminate it.

"Mine cave!" Wei Ziyang was overjoyed, and the probe was unharmed, so he used an iron ore pickaxe to repair the entrance.

The mine is really a good place for mining, and after walking for a while, Wei Ziyang has encountered iron ore and coal mines one after another, and the number is not a few. Compared to blind excavation, this whole process does not take much effort.

"Yes!"

The mine was pitch black, and Wei Ziyang needed to constantly add torches for lighting. The firelight shone violently, and a golden light on the top of the mine in front of him suddenly pierced into his eyes.

“...... Gold mines?"

Wei Ziyang's heart skipped a beat.

Iron ore doesn't have much value in the real world, and the iron ore he can dig is not enough for his own use, let alone selling. But gold ore is a completely different story, and it's definitely a precious thing in the real world.

Trot under the golden light, stick a torch on the ground, and follow the light to look up, and sure enough, a piece of ore with a golden glimmer is naked on the surface, and according to the experience in the game, it should be more than just a piece of gold ore......

"Bang!"

Thinking so, Wei Ziyang had already hammered the iron ore pickaxe up. The hardness of gold ore is worse than that of iron, and it is easier to excavate, after the gold ore exploded, a piece of gold ore fell and smashed on Wei Ziyang's face, which was automatically put into the game backpack, and two gold ores were exposed on the top of his head.

Excitedly, the mine is constantly swinging the pickaxe, the mine is filled with clanging crashing sounds, and the amount of gold ore that is automatically picked up into the game's backpack is increasing.

"Five pieces in total!"

When Wei Ziyang stopped, he was already out of breath, real is different from a game after all, and the feeling of exhaustion comes faster and more realistically. However, at this time, he did not care about this, and hurriedly released the furnace, put coal as fuel, and finally put all five gold ores into it.

Just like that, looking at the progress bar above, when the first gold ingot was made, Wei Ziyang took it out as soon as possible, and it seemed that he could still feel some residual heat.

But the golden ingots in the firelight were heavy in his hand, and Wei Ziyang didn't care about the heat, flipping back and forth, not to mention how much he liked it.

"Such an ingot...... It's about half a pound, right?"

Wei Ziyang weighed and said, seeing that the solid color is enough, the recycling price can be about 270, and this ingot alone is worth sixty or seventy thousand......

The remaining four pieces of gold ore were also melted into gold ingots one after another, and a total of five pieces were already somewhat weighted in hand.

"Wow, ......"

Suddenly there was a monster's footsteps in front of him, strange and scary! Wei Ziyang glanced at the watch in his hand, only to know that it was already night, and the mine had begun to brush out monsters. To be on the safe side, hurry back. Next time I come back, I have to take the bed with me, and I can quickly spend the night when I lay down.

......

In the real world, the time is only 8 o'clock in the evening, and although there is no bustling scene in the old town, most of the shops are not closed. In the hot season, when the night is cool, business will be better.

Wei Ziyang came out of the store and walked straight to a pawn shop next door, with a sign at the door called "Liuliushun Pawnshop".

The glass maxi door has air conditioning inside, and it is a shiver to push the door in.

"Sixth uncle, the air conditioner is turned on so loudly, I'm not afraid of catching a cold!" Wei Ziyang shouted at the middle-aged man lying on the sofa.

"Why did Boss Wei come to me freely, I heard that your family's business has been good recently. The sixth uncle only glanced at him lazily, he didn't even bother to move his body, and he blew his body and bones sore by blowing the air conditioner all day long.

"It's ok. Wei Ziyang sat down by himself without being polite, reached out to probe the teapot and found that it was still hot, so he poured himself a cup and drank it, and finally sighed a good tea.

"Tell me, find me something. The sixth uncle glanced at Wei Ziyang and asked.

Wei Ziyang didn't hide it, and directly pushed the black plastic bag that was on the coffee table just now to Uncle Liu and said, "Trouble Uncle Six to help me sell these two things." ”

"Huh?" The sixth uncle was very surprised, he and Wei Ziyang's family only had neighborly contacts, and there was no intersection in business. But he still reached out and opened the black plastic bag, and the golden light inside made his eyes narrow, and he immediately sat up straight, and picked up a piece of gold ingot to look at it.

After a while, he said, "The condition is good...... I can't see it, Ziyang, you still have such a doorway. ”

Wei Ziyang snorted and didn't respond.

The sixth uncle also knew that he shouldn't ask more, and he was an acquaintance, so he didn't even ask where he came, but came to weigh the measurements, wrote down the receipt, and finally said: "I'll help you later, remember to come and get the money tomorrow morning." If my visual inspection is correct, this can be sold for 270 yuan a gram, and I will deduct 5% as a hardship fee, and no one will pit you. ”

Wei Ziyang knows a little about Uncle Six's pawn shop, and knows that the other party didn't cheat him. As for money, there is no need to worry about it. Don't look at this store is not very big, but the sixth uncle is definitely an energetic person in the old city, and his net worth is very rich, so he will definitely not destroy his reputation because of these 100,000 yuan.

The next morning, when the sixth uncle came back from outside, he parked the car in front of the grocery store, handed over more than 133,000 to Wei Ziyang by the way, and finally gave an intriguing entrustment: "Ziyang, you can take care of the sixth uncle's business more in the future, you know the relationship between the sixth uncle, not to mention that everything can be done for you, but most of it is still okay!"

"Definitely! must be ......" Wei Ziyang said so, in fact, he knew in his heart that even if he dug up more gold in the future, it would be impossible to keep moving out, and these two gold ingots were more just a tentative sale, proving that the ore in my world would not be discounted after being taken out of reality.

Suddenly with such a 'huge sum', Wei Ziyang swelled a little, immediately closed the store, and drove a magic car back that afternoon. That's right, Wei Ziyang has his first car, Wuling Hongguang!!

"Ziyang, did you buy a car?" Aunt Huang was surprised to see Wei Ziyang coming out of a new car, although the car is no longer a new thing, but at least fifty or sixty thousand yuan, right?

"Yes, I just mentioned it, so it's convenient to travel and pull goods in the future. Wei Ziyang smiled from ear to ear.

"It's good, but it cost a lot of money, right?" Aunt Huang asked tentatively.

"It's only sixty or seventy thousand, it's okay, it's okay. Wei Ziyang pretended to be low-key, in fact, this car is more than 50,000, but when he says it, he unconsciously rises a little, doesn't it sound better?

"Yo, that's great, you have to have a treat!" Aunt Huang quipped.

"That's no problem, please Aunt Huang you eat beef brisket powder. Wei Ziyang smiled as he spoke.

"Go, do you want to invite the beef brisket noodles? at least you have to go to the seafood garden, right?" Aunt Huang quipped, and then served the finished beef brisket noodles to the guests. Although it is a wonton shop, Aunt Huang also sells others, and the most popular thing in the old city is beef brisket noodles, which is economical.
