Chapter 204: A Key
It's not much of a secret about the enhanced equipment now, but not many people know about it.
The soaring value of ore is the key point, and it is also one of the reasons for the rise of mining for a while, but the main thing is the driving force behind the strengthening of equipment.
"The consumption is indeed not small, this also depends on the equipment, if it is the most ordinary equipment, it seems that a piece of high-quality iron ore or copper ore is needed to strengthen once, after +1, if you want +2, the number will be doubled. If equipped, the amount of ore required will also be higher. Menlv said.
Li Congxin nodded slightly: "It doesn't seem to be much different from other games, let's go, let's find a place with few people in the mine first, and collect a batch of ore." β
"It's hard to find, the places where there are a lot of ore brushes here are basically occupied by people, as long as there are strange areas behind the mine, there are basically no people to go."
"Then let's go to the back, I heard that the back area seems to be quite large, right?"
Before reading the forum, Li Congxin saw that someone said that there is a large area after the mine that no one has ever passed, because the mobs are very strong, the refresh speed is also fast, although there are a lot of ores, but the difficulty of collecting is relatively large, and there will always be refreshed out of the mob attack, thus interrupting the mining, and the poor efficiency is not willing to go to the back mountain.
"It's true that the back area is quite large, I went there once the day before yesterday, and I can't do it alone."
"Then go to the back mountain, one person clears the monster and one person collects."
As he spoke, the two of them quickly walked towards the back mountain.
Although the mine is not big, it is actually quite large.
After climbing several peaks one after another, the two of them entered the range of the mountain behind the ore.
Here, the number of players is indeed pitiful, with only a few wandering around a hundred meters away from the monster herd to mine.
On the top of the mountain, Menlv raised his hand and pointed in a direction: "Look over there, that valley has the most ores, but it also has the most monsters, and the refresh speed is also very fast, even if there are a lot of people, it seems that it can't be done." β
Li looked into the distance from his heart and couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't those professional groups come over?" β
"I've heard that I've been here, but I've given up, and I can't kill all the monsters, and there's no time to mine."
"Oh?" Li Congxin raised his eyebrows: "Do you have experience in killing monsters?" β
"Less, it's better to brush the copy to come directly."
"No wonder."
If the monster has a considerable amount of experience, or drops ores, then the back mountain will not be so quiet.
After a while, the two stood at the entrance to the valley.
The journey was not smooth, and the two of them had already killed no less than thirty mine mobs along the way.
These mobs have thick skin, strong attacks, and not many experience points, so it's really not easy to kill, no wonder players are reluctant to come here, it's just thankless.
On the way, Li Congxin also tried to collect the ore he encountered, and also collected a few pieces of iron ore.
The sub-profession has just learned, and the speed and success rate of ore collection are relatively low, basically 50% failure, 50% success, but it is understandable.
"There's a lot of ore in there."
Li Congxin observed it slightly, and couldn't help but light up slightly.
But the density of monsters in the valley is very high, and it is impossible for the two of them to mine here with peace of mind.
Look straight to the innermost part and look at the peaks on either side.
The mountain is so steep that you can't go up, and there's no other way to get around.
But since he came, he still had to go in, so Li Congxin greeted Menlv, and the two of them went directly to kill inside.
Instead of collecting the scattered ores that appeared around them, the two of them kept cleaning up the monsters.
After 100 meters, looking back, Li Congxin found that the little monster behind him had refreshed again, this speed was indeed amazing, no wonder no one wanted to come over.
But existence is reasonable, and with such a fast refresh rate, monsters don't have much value, so there must be something here that doesn't exist elsewhere.
High-grade ore?
Li Congxin shook his head secretly.
He expects to find a large number of low-level ores, iron ore and copper ore, etc., which will not only allow him to quickly improve his mining level, but also obtain enough basic ores to improve his professional skills.
It took half an hour, and the two of them came all the way to the interruption of the valley, and as they continued, the number of monsters was a bit terrifying.
Menlv said depressedly: "It can't go on like this, it's just a monster, and you can't mine ore." β
Li Congxin looked up at the front and said, "Go on, this valley is so big, let's go to the innermost part to have a look, maybe we will find something." β
"Probably not, someone has already come in before, you see." Menlv pointed straight ahead, "That's the end over there, if there's anything strange here, it's already been discovered." β
"There are no absolutes in everything, maybe there will be an elite boss or something when the little monster is killed to a certain extent, and it is not beautiful to kill a top mine hoe and come out?!"
"Dreaming!" Menlv rolled his eyes, but he still followed Li Congxin to continue to kill inside.
It took the two of them an hour to kill an unknown number of mobs, and the two of them came all the way to the innermost part of the valley.
In the innermost part of the valley, there is a non-strange area of more than 50 meters in a semicircle, close to the foot of the mountain.
Li breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, walked quickly to the innermost, and when he turned to look, he found that the place where they had come all the way was once again crowded with small monsters.
Menlv also let out a long breath, and sat down on a stone at the bottom of the mountain: "Whewβfinally come in, I'm tired to death." β
Li Congxin did not rest, but walked around casually, looking through the stone corners and other areas from time to time.
Menlv exclaimed a little weakly: "It's basically clear here, there's nothing." β
"Let's see, don't jump to conclusions."
If there are a group of mobs here, but there are not a lot of minerals here, then there is no need to make so many mobs here.
Go around behind the rocks and look at it, not sparing an inch of land.
More than ten minutes later, when Li Congxin was passing by a large pile of weeds growing at the foot of the mountain, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and he turned around and came to the edge of the weeds.
The weapon in his hand swept through the weeds at will, swept away the weeds, and under the cover of these tall weeds, a flat hole less than a meter in diameter appeared in front of him.
Li Congxin walked directly into the weeds, and glanced inside at the entrance of the cave, and it was pitch black inside.
I poked inside a few times with my weapon, but there was nothing to stop it.
Menlv was looking around boredly, and suddenly found that Li Congxin seemed to be missing, so he stood up and looked around, and soon saw Li Congxin lying in a pile of weeds doing something, so he walked over: "What are you doing?" What about digging for gold? β
"Come on, there's a hole here!" Li Congxin turned around and greeted.
"Cave?!" Menlv suddenly came to his senses, and subconsciously turned his head to look into the distance, and only then did he quickly come to the side of the weeds after not seeing other players.
Li Congxin pointed to the cave he found: "Look. β
Menlv looked at it, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Lie down, there really is, go in and have a look!" β
Li Congxin also glanced back into the distance, put away the weapon, and crawled directly down the cave inside, "Don't worry, wait for my news." β
"Okay, I've got to block this position a little bit, the weeds outside are all erected, so no one else can find out."
Menlv picked up all the weeds around him, and simply covered up the situation on their side, at least so that people standing outside the valley would not see the presence of the innermost player at a glance.
Li Congxin climbed into the narrow cave, and the further he walked inside, the smaller the range he could see, and soon there was only a sight distance of less than five meters, which was basically a dark area in the game.
There must be dozens of crawlers inside, and when Li Congxin's right hand pressed forward to the ground, it suddenly emptied, and the whole person fell directly to the ground.
It's the end?
It should be the end of this narrow cave, so Li Congxin got up and looked forward, and the surrounding space suddenly became a lot larger, and there were rays of light projected from above in front of him, making the line of sight barely increase a little.
"Seems to be something." Li muttered in his heart, climbed a few meters forward and stood up to observe the situation around him.
It looked like a cave, but there was no water, and when you came to the place where the sun was shining down, you could look up at the top of the mountain.
Continue to move forward, come to the end of the cave, and a small cave entrance continues to appear here, so Li Congxin returned to the edge of the previous cave and shouted outside: "Come in!" β
"It's coming!" Menlv screamed.
After a while, Menlv quickly crawled in.
"Huh?" Menlv looked at the environment curiously, "It's interesting, is there a mine?" β
Li Congxin spread his hands: "Not yet, I found another entrance here, this should be just a part of the passage, let's continue." β
"And? Haha, that means there are mines! Menlv looked around: "Where is the entrance?!" β
"This way."
Li Congxin took the lead to the entrance of the next narrow cave and crawled directly into it.
Menlv quickly stepped forward to take a look, and said, "No problem calling me, I'll see if there are any other findings here?" β
"Done."
Li Congxin replied and continued to climb down the second narrow cave.
The cave that enters the cave from the outside is straight, but the second cave in this cave is winding.
Li Congxin climbed all the way to the inside, about a hundred meters away, but still did not climb to the end.
This made him wonder if it could be a game designer spoof, and thinking of this, he connected to Menlv's call.
"Did you find anything? What's the situation, it's been a long time. Menlv asked.
Li Congxin scolded and said: "Uncle him, he didn't climb to the head, look at the location on the small map, it should be under the valley now, and then go back." β
"Oh?" Menlv was surprised: "You continue, maybe we found the second entrance to the mine, the mine is very large, the first player to enter said." β
"I'm still crawling forward, like a dog, aggrieved. What about you? Are there any new discoveries? β
"I found out that there is, found a treasure chest, and picked up 20 pieces of high-quality iron ore."
"Isn't it? So cool! β
"It's cool, it's better for me to find a mining area where I can mine to my heart's content." Menlv pouted.
"It's also ha, 20 yuan is really useless, so you continue to wait, I'll continue to ...... Oops hey! Li Congxin exclaimed.
"What's wrong!?" Menlv hurriedly asked, "What did you find?" β
"Damn! It's another cave, there's no light here, and it's planted all at once, and it doesn't scare me to death. β
Li Congxin got up and looked at the surrounding environment, his sight distance was less than five meters, and he could only walk slowly forward to check the surrounding situation.
"It's like an adventure game, really, so I'll go in too, right? It's so boring outside. β
"Then come in, I'll keep looking."
The two chatted as they explored the places they had discovered.
Ten minutes later, Li Congxin found the third cave entrance in the second underground cave, unlike the previous two, this entrance is very spacious, just stand and walk inside, so he talked to Menlv about the discovery, and walked inside one step ahead.
Here, there are no monsters, only stones and dust.
After walking forward for less than 100 meters, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and Li Congxin, who was frightened, trembled, took back several steps, and took out the weapon with a brush.
"It's scared to death!"
"What's the matter? I haven't made it to the end yet, damn it, why is this passage so long? Menlv shouted on the call.
"There's someone!" Li Congxin took two steps forward, and then he saw clearly that it was not a person, it was a statue, so he said: "No, it's a statue, and there is a big iron door behind the statue." β
"Oh? Wait, I'm coming! β
"Just come in and keep going, don't go so fast, the ground is full of big rocks, and there is no sight."
"Yes."
Li calmed down in his heart, and then came to the side of the statue.
The statue is a man with a hammer in one hand and an awl in the other, and behind the statue, a rusty iron door.
As soon as I walked up the mountain, a line of words appeared indifferently in front of me.
[Lucky people, being able to find this place for the first time means that you are also a crazy ore collector...... Behind the Iron Gate, which is the core of the mine, you now have a chance to enter it to mine ore, so get your vehicles and mining tools ready and collect as much ore as you like! γ
System: Obtain the key to the core area of the location mine.
Key to the core area of the mine: It can open the passage to the core area of the mine for ten seconds, and can be used once every month, and exiting the game is considered to be actively leaving the core area of the mine.
Looking at the key in his hand, Li Congxin's heart suddenly pounded.
"It's going to be sent now!"
"What's wrong?" Menlv walked over quickly, looked at the statue that appeared on the side, came to the side to take a look, and then walked to the big iron door and knocked: "There should be some way to open it, right?" β
Li Congxin blinked, and he didn't get the same key, otherwise he wouldn't have said that.
To say that there has been no big gain in the recent period, and this key in his hand is the best thing for him at the moment, there is no one.
