Chapter 13: Breakthrough
Smack, smack, smack.
The pickaxe held in the other hand was extremely light and chiseled three times on the rock wall, and three points of white immediately appeared on the rock wall, and the bottom of the rock wall was covered with white jade, which was effortless, the accuracy was 100 percent, and the time did not exceed 30 seconds, and the efficiency was extremely high.
At this rate, it would not be a problem to collect thirty or forty pieces of white jade in an hour, and when he thought of this, Xiao Hong's face showed a look of joy.
Compared with the past, he could only collect ten pieces in his desperate work, which was a world of difference, and this was also the direct benefit that the second-level apprentice and the same level of magic patterns brought to Xiao Hong.
At this moment, to say that Xiao Hong has no smugness in his heart is to deceive.
After walking a distance of about 100 meters, more than 100 chisels have appeared on the rock wall on one side, in addition to white jade, there are also red battle blood stones and so on.
Retracting the detection magic pattern and kicking it into his pocket, Xiao Hong began to pick off the white jade stones on the rock wall one by one, thinking in his heart that he should design a magic pattern that can be automatically mined, so that even the strength of mining can be saved.
After only twenty minutes, Xiao Hong's wooden box was already full, with more than two dozen high-quality white jade stones and two battle blood stones piled up in it at will.
Carefully put the two pieces of high-quality white jade rough into the dark grid, Xiao Hong carried the wooden box, resisted the pickaxe, and left the four-story mine unhurriedly, as for the other chisels on the rock wall, Xiao Hong did not pay attention to it, and came to pick it again tomorrow, anyway, no one would come here.
The foreman in charge of purchasing stones and distributing wages was a middle-aged man in his forties named Mu Yang.
For Xiao Hong, Mu Yang is naturally familiar, the only guy who can provide high-quality white jade, and the relationship with Xiao Hong is not friendly, but there is no festival, just a general friendship.
"Yo, Xiao Hong, came out so early? It seems that today's harvest is not good, no wonder, after all, you still have a year to live, or don't take the risk delicately. Seeing Xiao Hong walking slowly, Mu Yang quipped, his expression full of ease and playfulness.
Although Xiao Hong is a special case among the miners, he is still a miner after all, on the other hand, Mu Yang is a small head no matter what he says.
Although he hated it very much when others joked about his illness, Xiao Hong didn't say anything, and directly put the wooden box on the inspection table, opened the lid, and said softly: "Inspect the goods, count the wages." ”
"Don't worry, there are not many goods, and they will be ...... soon" Before Mu Yang finished speaking, as Mu Yang put his eyes into Xiao Hong's wooden box, the words behind him were choked back, only to see that the inside was filled with all kinds of rough stones, several of which were still cut off the corners before being stuffed in.
"It's... So many ......" Mu Yang muttered to himself softly, and subconsciously rubbed his eyes, a little incredulous, Xiao Hong entered the mine just now, he saw it, and then came out, it didn't take more than forty minutes.
How did this guy do it? Mu Yang muttered to himself, a little dazed for a while, and from the quality of the original stone, it was obviously of high quality, and it took less than half an hour to collect a full box, which was too weird, and the previous ease and playfulness were also replaced by a face full of unbelievability, and his surprised gaze kept wandering between Xiao Hong and the wooden box.
"Uncle, count, I'm busy. Xiao Hong looked calm, looked at Mu Yang who was surprised, and said softly.
"Oh... Oh. Mu Yang's brain couldn't get back a little, so he began to count them one by one, and still looked at Xiao Hong from time to time, only feeling very strange in his heart.
"Before, I have calculated that there are six rough stones that can cut out three pieces of white jade, 20 pieces that can cut out four pieces, and two pieces of war bloodstone, a total of 8 silver and 10 copper. Xiao Hong saw Mu Yang slowly inspecting one by one, and said indifferently, he had already understood the original stones he had collected very clearly by detecting the magic patterns.
Mu Yang glanced at Xiao Hong slightly, ignored Xiao Hong's words, continued to test piece by piece, and said secretly in his heart: "If you are also said by you, then what do you want me to do? ”
However, just as Mu Yang was muttering repeatedly in his heart, his expression had gradually begun to change, and with the data given by the instruments around him, they were displayed one by one, and the results were unlimitedly biased towards Xiao Hong's previous words.
The final result was that there were six pieces of white jade that could be cut, 20 pieces of six pieces that could be cut, and two pieces of battle blood stone rough stones.
It's exactly the same as what Xiao Hong said before.
"What the hell. Mu Yang looked at the final result, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and then he took out 8 silver coins and 10 copper coins from the cash cabinet and threw them into Xiao Hong's wooden box.
"You kid took the wrong medicine today, right?" Mu Yang looked at Xiao Hong again and asked softly, his expression full of weirdness.
Xiao Hong didn't respond, just smiled at Mu Yang, then picked up the wooden box and prepared to leave, the mood can be described as very good, now he has begun to taste the sweetness of cultivating the power of cultivation, using the detection of magic patterns, just half an hour's workload, it is enough to top his previous four days of work, and the efficiency improvement is not ordinarily high.
Returning home, Xiao Hong, who tasted the convenience of his strength for the first time, did not stop cultivating his strength, due to the existence of the blue-black magic beads, as long as Xiao Hong is willing to burn money and can suppress his heart to upgrade, then Xiao Hong's upgrade speed will be twice that of ordinary people.
And the third level can control the war paint, which means that he has a certain attack surname, and he can also protect himself, which is definitely a huge temptation for Xiao Hong.
After several hours of busyness, according to the previous recipe, Xiao Hong made several huge plates of incense, the size of which was more than three times the size of the previous one, and the cost was enough to have two gold coins, but fortunately, some of the materials were collected by Xiao Hong himself.
Sitting cross-legged at the head of the bed, Xiao Hong began to continue to use the breath training method to improve his strength!
This time, Xiao Hong had already thought about it, and planned to use all the remaining harnesses today, plus all the harnesses that the blue-black magic beads could provide!
In short, it is to improve your power level as quickly as possible.
Until the second half of the night, the available control power in the body was only less than ten points, which was already the limit of consumption, watching the last plate of control incense burn out, Xiao Hong had already lowered his eyelids.
Glancing at the slowly extinguished incense, Xiao Hong's body was crooked, and he fell directly on the broken bed and fell asleep.
Through this kind of incense, as well as the cooperation of blue and black magic beads, in just one day, Xiao Hong's control power has increased by more than 30 shares, and the original 202 shares have become 239 shares, which is an amazing progress, but it is also quite a money-burner.
For ordinary people, one gold a day, that is, 10,000 copper coins, not burning money, what is it? But in order to be promoted to the third level as soon as possible, Xiao Hong is considered to be fighting, because Xiao Hong himself knows very well that his time is very precious, and the higher the level, the greater his hope of saving himself.
In this way, for three whole days, Xiao Hong devoted an absolute part of his control power to cultivating his control power every day, and in addition, it was necessary to spend an hour mining and collecting materials, as well as training his carved knife skills.
And Xiao Hong's learning of knife work is mainly based on the imitation of the Zhitong magic pattern given to him by Sang Hongyun, it can be said that Sang Hongyun's knife technique can be called absolutely gorgeous.
Although the emotions for Sang Hongyun are more complicated, this does not affect Xiao Hong's imitation.
In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon, and Xiao Hong, who had practiced knife work for a morning, picked up a plate of incense again, but the volume was much smaller than before, because the materials on hand were only enough to make so many incense, and the little income from mining was obviously unable to meet Xiao Hong's expenses.
What's more important is that with the increase of the control power in the body, Xiao Hong only feels that the effect of the control of incense has begun to become no longer obvious, and it must be improved and strengthened again, but it requires the most basic premise, that is, money!
Basically, Xiao Hong's three-year savings that he had worked so hard to accumulate had been tossed off in just a few days.
However, fortunately, now Xiao Hong's power has grown to 290 shares, and such a small plate of incense is still enough.
Lighting the incense, Xiao Hong once again put his mind calm and concentrated on cultivating his own control.
This time, the incense only burned for twenty minutes, and when Xiao Hong stopped cultivating, the power in his body had already successfully reached 301 shares.
Slowly opening his eyes, Xiao Hong's peaceful eyes had already flashed a touch of excitement, and then he clenched his fists!
Although he is still feeling a pain for burning money, for Xiao Hong now, he is one step closer to his hope!
And with the improvement of the level of control, Xiao Hong can also clearly feel that the power in his body has become more vigorous, and in terms of control alone, Xiao Hong can now completely compete with Xu Qing, the person in charge here.
When, when, when.
Just when Xiao Hong was still immersed in excitement, three hurried knocks on the door suddenly rang out, and just from the knocking sound, you could hear the eager mood of the knocker.
"Brother Hong, Brother Hong, are you at home?"
Just when Xiao Hong slightly showed a hint of doubt, Li Lejian's sharp voice came in.
"Here, what's wrong?" Xiao Hong asked, putting the magic pattern on the desk into the drawer, and slowly opened the door.
"Brother Hong, something is wrong, something happened to Lin Zi. Li Le, who was standing outside the door, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said anxiously, although Xiao Hong usually said that he did not have a lot of contact with Li Le and others, but no matter what he said, he could be regarded as having the best relationship with Li Le, as long as he ran into trouble, Li Le would basically think of Xiao Hong reflexively.
As for Lin Zi, it was one of Li Le's seven or eight companions, and Xiao Hong also knew this.
"What's wrong with Lin Zi?" Xiao Hong asked, judging from Li Le's expression, it is estimated that something big happened to Lin Zi, but Xiao Hong's expression is still calm, after all, anxiety can't solve any problems.
"When I was mining, a big rock fell from the mine and hit the woods' legs. Li Le wiped the sweat from his face and spoke, his expression full of anxiety.
Hitting the leg with a rock is a common occurrence in mines, and of course, it is also the most fatal, and if a fracture occurs, it is tantamount to a disaster for the poor miners.
With such an analysis, Xiao Hong's face also became slightly serious, and he said calmly: "Let's go, take me to have a look." ”
Going deeper into the mine again, Li Le took Xiao Hong all the way to the third floor of the mine, close to the entrance of the fourth floor, which is also the territory of Li Le and a few partners.
Naturally, some small groups have been derived, and fights often occur, such as Li Le and his friends, which are one of the small groups.
After turning a small corner in the mine, Xiao Hong saw that Lin Zi, who had dark skin and a strong body, was lying in pain in the mine, with cracked teeth and a frowning brow, and a rock with a diameter of about one meter was pressed on the right calf.
Around him, there were several of Li Le's companions, all with anxious faces, at one end of the passage, not far away, there was a group of bystanders, but the expressions could not be anxious, and the members of the small group who often had disputes with Li Le even showed gloating expressions.
Lin Zi's body is strong, very capable of fighting, in the ordinary competition for territory, the surrounding small groups did not suffer his losses, this time, Lin Zi was injured, undoubtedly, to the small group led by Li Le, is a fatal blow.
There is even a good chance that it will be swallowed up by other small groups and driven out of the third floor of the mine.
"Brother Hong, help. Seeing Xiao Hong appear, Lin Zi, who was baring his teeth and cracking his mouth, suddenly spoke, looking at Xiao Hong with tears in his eyes, although Li Le is their leader, but Xiao Hong has a special status in their hearts.
"Don't move. Xiao Hong's expression was calm, he squatted in front of Lin Zi, said softly, and looked at the boulder, and the place where he fell, which was 1.5 meters high, obviously, this time, it was difficult to do.
"How long have you been pressed here?" With the knowledge in the medical book, Xiao Hong observed the situation in the forest, and then said in a calm tone.
"It's been about fifteen minutes. One of Li Le's companions responded.
"It's okay, it's not too bad. Xiao Hong thought to himself, then tore a strip of cloth from his tattered clothes, wrapped it tightly around the end of Lin Zi's thigh, and then ordered Li Le and his companions to slowly move the rock away.
The strip of cloth wrapped around the root of the thigh is to prevent the blood from flowing back in the leg and causing damage to the heart when the rock is removed.
Regarding Xiao Hong's words, Li Le and even the little friends beside him were obedient, especially at this time.
As the stone was slowly removed, Xiao Hong's expression couldn't help but move, and the calf that had been pressed before had been slightly deformed, showing a slight arch shape.
"It's a broken bone. Xiao Hong looked at Lin Zi and said to Lin Zi in an extremely peaceful tone as much as possible.
However, in this way, it is definitely a bolt from the blue for Lin Zi and even for his friends!
Fractures can't heal on their own, so they need to seek medical attention, and the Miao Dan Pharmacy opened by Xu Nan to treat fractures requires at least one gold coin, that is, a full 10,000 copper coins, and it takes several months to be unable to work.
