Chapter 12: Sneak Attack! Crude iron ore mines
Ji Chen looked unhappy and looked at their attribute panels.
γCave Minerγ
[Level]: 3
[Rank]: 7 stars of the first order
[Skill]: Dark Vision (Green skill, has good night vision, can see the surrounding environment in the dark)
Ore Smell (green skill, able to smell all kinds of ores keenly)
[Class Characteristics]: Wall Grass (When there are more allies than enemies, morale is greatly increased; When your allies are less than the enemy, morale is greatly reduced)
[I love mining!] γ
A first-order 7-star class, but unfortunately the skills are all non-combat.
In terms of individual combat effectiveness, it is definitely not as good as the fishman.
But there were a lot of them, thirty-nine, almost twice as many as the fishmen
Combined with the characteristics of their troops, if they rush up, they will beat the master to death with a stick, and they may cause a lot of damage to the fishmen.
If he could, he wanted to get rid of them as "non-destructively" as possible.
Look at the cave miners who are unscrupulously bathing by the waterhole.
Ji Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a good way.
Turning to the fishmen, he whispered.
"You quietly dived into the river and went upstream, taking them off the pool while the enemy was bathing, drowning or stabbing them to death."
"Remember, attack at the same time and drag down as many enemies as you can at once."
"Quietly approach, don't scream!"
After receiving the order, the fish-people nodded their heads, tiptoed to the ground, and snorkeled up the water below the surface.
In order to kill and injure as many enemies as possible, he didn't even leave a single fish-man guard, and sent them all.
At this point, the Fishman's skill snorkeling comes into play.
Under deliberate control, they barely made a splash or movement, swimming from the river into the waterhole, slowly approaching their target.
The cave miners, who were happily scrubbing, were unaware of the approaching danger.
"It's such a pleasure to take a bath... Ahh
Thump~
The water splashed, and the fish-men slammed through the water, pulling the cave miner into the water.
Some of the cave miners were caught off guard and were pulled to the center of the waterhole and dragged down to the water.
Some were pulled deep by the fish-men and pierced their bodies with bone spears, and the blood instantly stained the waterhole.
Sixteen cave miners were killed or drowned in the attack, but five fishmen didn't hold on and allowed their targets to climb ashore and narrowly escape.
The other cave miners, who were not attacked, were so frightened that they ran to the shore and picked up their pickaxes to come back and rescue their comrades.
But he ran into the fish-man who had already come ashore and was covered in blood.
"Ding~ You're in combat mode. Morale is being judged..."
"The morale of our shallow sea fish people is 68 points, and they have entered an advantageous state."
Aside from the slight loss of morale due to the fact that the numbers were still slightly suppressed, the Fishmen were morale-boosting in other ways.
At this time, there is no fear in the face of the cave miners.
When the cave miners saw that there were fewer fishmen than them, their morale was boosted, and they rushed forward with a curse, wanting to avenge the death of their comrades.
There are so many of them on our side, how can we not beat them?
We must kill these despicable fishmen who are hiding in the water and sneaking up!
Two minutes later.
"Ding~ The battle is over, and the enemy has surrendered. You have achieved a victory full of glory. β
"No Deaths +20% bonus XP. Win more with less +20% bonus XP. +20% bonus XP for enemy surrender. β
"You have gained 120 XP, you have leveled up (1β2), and your current XP is [20%/100%]."
"Your class, the Shallow Sea Fishmen, has been upgraded (1β2) and has [20%/100%] experience."
The prompt sounded, and a refreshing stream of heat flowed throughout the body.
As if he had seen the light of day again, he felt his eyes brighter and his body lighter and stronger, as if the impurities of his body had been drained.
Feeling the changes in his body, Ji Chen exhaled heavily.
With a bit of relief on his face, he walked towards the waterhole tidal flats where the battle had ended.
...
"Spare your life, my lord, we are willing to surrender to you!"
One by one, the 18 remaining cave miners fell to their knees, pitifully begging for mercy.
Ji Chen's face was expressionless, and he paced in front of them with his negative hands.
He said in a cold tone.
"Surrender? What is the purpose of you saying that I keep you? Is it a waste of food to keep? β
The cave miners suddenly became anxious.
"We can find our own food, we don't have to provide it from you! And we'll also mine! β
Ji Chen's heart moved slightly, but his face did not change at all, and he said lightly.
"Mining? Are there any mines around here? β
"Absolutely! Not far from this waterfall is a mine where we mine! β
The cave miner's eyes flattered, and he said flatteringly: "Of course, that mine belongs to you now!" β
These cave miners are also interesting.
Originally, he had no intention of killing them, but now he was taking them in to mine for him.
Ji Chen's face did not change, and he responded in a nasal voice, "Then take me now." β
When the cave miners heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and began to lead the way.
While walking in front to lead the way, he nodded and said, "My lord, please." β
is like the leading party in film and television dramas.
Walking through the path carved out by the miners themselves in the jungle, they soon reached a nearby mine, which turned out to be the location of the first resource point.
At the bottom of a hill was a mine cave, the rock walls supported by wooden supports, and the inside was dark.
Some rust-red ore was piled up in a hut outside the mine, and there were several huts next to it where tools were stored.
γRough Iron Mineγ
[Scale]: miniature
[Level]: 1
[Main Producing Resources]: Crude Iron
[Production by-products]: stone [one-fifth of the output of the main resources]
[Reserves]: 3200/3500 units
[Maximum production per week]: 700 units
[Weekly personnel output]: 50 units/person
Crude iron ore mines, reserves are still miniature.
However, Ji Chen was not disappointed, after all, it was so close to the territory, there would definitely not be any large-scale and giant high-level resource points.
There is a rule in "Lord of Glory" that resource points that are close to the territory or have a low risk factor are basically low-level and have few reserves.
And those large resource points up to level 3 and level 4 are basically in some dangerous areas, guarded by more powerful field troops.
Even if you meet it in advance, you can only stare dryly.
Micro crude iron mines can produce 700 units of crude iron per week, or 50 units per person, as well as small quantities of stone.
That is, only 14 people are needed to maximize production, and there are four more of the 18 cave miners.
However, Ji Chen has no other mines for these cave miners to work in for the time being, so he can only stuff all of them here to continue mining.
As for food, they don't have to find it themselves, it's all supplied by the territory.
After all, he considers himself a human being.
If they are not given food and are asked to do such heavy work, it is really a pure evil capitalist behavior.
He first took possession of the mine, then walked over to the hut and with a wave of his hand took away the ore that the cave miners had dug up.
"Ding~ You get 300 units of crude iron."
After warning the cave miners not to bathe in the waterfall pool in the future.
Ji Chen took the fishman on the road to the second resource point.
There are no shortcuts this time.
The second resource point is located in a dense jungle, and they need to cut through the bushes and ferns that are often half a man tall to get through.
It took half an hour to reach the pale golden pillar of light that represented the second resource point.
