Chapter 3 Identity

After obtaining a brief introduction to the world from the Dependent's Sign, Su Shi reopened his eyes and muttered to himself:

"This is the background of the origin of the Primordial Iron World, so I'm currently staying in the interior of the Black Gold City?"

In view of the prompt information on the seal, if he leaves the range of the 'Black Gold City', he will not enjoy the protection of the assessment, and the difficulty of the world will increase significantly.......... Speculating backwards, it is not difficult to guess that Su Shi's location is in the Black Gold City.

As for his main line, I'm afraid it is also related to Black Gold City.

Thinking of this, Su Shi's mind moved, and he checked the main quest on the imprint-

Trial of the Dawn

Difficulty level: Lv.4

Content: Find a piece of 'Primordial Iron' and get its holding judgment (hold the item for 10 minutes).

Completion period: 84 hours (equivalent to 3.5 calendar days).

Background: Raw iron is the most precious treasure in this world, and there is no one! Any newborn piece of raw iron is numbered and transported to the Church of Raw Iron in the major city-states, it is a symbol of strength and the most desired thing for every blacksmith.

Rewards: Full dependents, and the ability to return to the Twilight Space.

"Obtain the Raw Iron .........."

Su Shi exhaled slowly, with an unsurprising premonition.

Through the previous world profile, he already knew what 'Primordial Iron' meant, that is, the ruling class of this world, the source of power that the blacksmiths rely on for their livelihood, and the difficulty of obtaining Primordial Iron is definitely not low.

This is the message on the seal of the dependent.

He was able to invoke the Dependent's Seal, which he learned from the golden parchment, and when the contract was made, he not only explained the identity of the Dependent, but also told him how to activate the Dependent's Seal, even though Su Shi didn't recognize the words.

To put it simply, when Su Shi signed the contract, he also experienced a 'baptism' himself, and obtained a number of basic knowledge in the occult sense in vain, about the mark of the dependent, and also about the twilight space.

Turning off the mainline panel, Su Shi didn't rush into action, he continued to check the sigil.

In the Legion of the Dependent, in addition to the main story and the world introduction, there are also panels of his body, as well as the Void Pack.

The Void Backpack is similar to an inventory, storing equipment, potions, scrolls, and other hole cards on the dependents, which can be brought into each quest world. On the other hand, items in the quest world can also be stored in the Void Backpack in a special way, and finally brought back to the Dusk Space............. But there is a pre-requirement, it needs the dusk space for 'item notarization', which consumes the dusk coins on the body.

The source of the Dusk Coin is a variety of tasks, and Su Shi is poor and white, so let's not consider this for now.

In addition to the Void Backpack, what remains is the body panel, which is the body of Su Shi in the form of semi-data after being turned into a dependent.

For example, there is a relative who still has 70% of his blood, but he is beheaded by others, and his blood volume will decline rapidly and be irretrievable, until he dies at zero.

On the other hand, even if there is a dependant who has 35% of his HP left, his vital points are well protected and he can still fight normally.......... At most, blood loss leads to a decline in combat power, which is semi-data.

Su Shi opened the panel, and his body stats were as follows-

Name: Su Shi

Soul Level: Lv0 (Unranked)

Health: 100%

Attributes: Strength 2, Agility 3, Constitution 2, Mystic 4, Charisma 5

Perception: 4 (depending on composite attributes)

Base Skills: None

Essence: Spirit Hunter Lv.5 (contents folded).

============

Note: The average attribute for 25-year-olds is 3 points, and for teenagers it is around 2 points.

Physical attributes are indicators of various abilities, such as mystery, which is related to his use of legal abilities, such as strength, which not only represents physical strength, but also the basis of fighting ability, and agility, which is the speed of physical flexibility and nerve reactions.

The soul level is the level of the dependent's mark, and raising the soul level will not bring an increase in attributes, but only affect the individual's world quest, the dependent's permissions, and the upper limit of the dependent's promotion after obtaining the 'original essence'.

Su Shi saw his own panel, his eyes were stunned, most of his panel was normal, not much different from ordinary people.

Except for being a little more attractive, there is nothing peculiar about Su Shi, but at the bottom of his panel, where the column originally marked 'Primordial Essence', there is actually a suffix - 'Spirit Hunter'.

It means that he has obtained a copy of the original substance.

According to the information on the contract of dependents, [Primordial Essence] is equivalent to a professional inheritance, but it stands to reason that Su Shi is just a pure newcomer, how can there be a professional inheritance on his body? Could it be......... Su Shi thought of the missing pendant on his body, and had a faint guess.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just as Su Shi was thinking, the sound of metal drums was heard below, interrupting his train of thought.

With the sound of gongs, the nearby rooms became lively, and the iron gates like fences were pushed open, and people came out one after another, wearing overalls, yawning and arranging their clothes.

This is the workers' dormitory.......... Su Shi realized in his heart, and the next moment, he realized that he could not continue to be in a daze, and he had to integrate into this identity.

According to the instructions on the dependent's contract, when each dependant performs a task, Dusk Space will arrange an identity for him.

This identity is the basic condition for him to complete the main story.

"Judging from the situation, it seems that the identity I obtained is a worker, and it is very likely that it is a miner.........." Su Shi scanned the room, guessing his identity from the living environment, plus the scene outside, basically determined this.

Then, Su Shi took off the faded and whitish overalls from the hanger next to the hammock and hurriedly put them on his body.

He didn't go to the sink to wash again, and even deliberately messed up his hair a little to make himself look like a sloppy ghost, which was more in line with the miner's identity. After all, Su Shi's appearance is a bit high, and the initial amount of charm is as high as 5, which makes him very suspicious that if he stays in the group of workers, will he stand out from the crowd, thus affecting his action to obtain raw iron?

Although the Twilight Space claims to have arranged an initial identity for each of its dependents.

But this thing is just like the intelligent driving system, even if the developer beats his chest loudly and claims that the safety factor is nearly 100%, there are always a few unlucky people every year who will become new customers of the Dead Hall, and the funeral service is a one-stop service.

Su Shi has a cautious mentality, but he will not pin all his hopes on the twilight space.

Putting on his gray coat, Su Shi picked up the gray cap and put it on his head, as he pushed open the iron door and stepped into the corridor outside.

The gray-looking outfit made Su Shi almost merge with the other workers, and no longer looked bright and eye-catching.

Outside the dormitory are elevated corridors, somewhat similar to high-rise apartments, but the difference is that their rooms are 'inlay' in the rock, which may be the interior of the mountains, and below the gauntlets of the corridor, there is a faint sound of hot gas and steel colliding.

This sound reminded him of the movement in the construction workshop.

The workers on the promenade were in an orderly manner, descending from different steps, and the sound of gongs and drums for a while should be the bell for work.

These workers are on their way to their duty stations.

However, Su Shi stayed where he was, and he didn't know where to go for the time being.

What to do?

Su Shi has only one initial identity, and knows the general background of this world, but does not include the past experience of this identity.

However, this question was not difficult for Mr. Schusher, and after thinking for a few seconds, he simply leaned against the rock wall, crossed his arms, and looked impatient, and glanced at the nearby workers.

Everyone passing by noticed him, and soon, a blonde young man of the same age took the initiative to step forward and said curiously:

"Sue, who are you waiting for? Why don't you go to the post, be careful of the team leader getting angry. ”

Su Shi's eyes lit up, but he covered it up well, and said calmly on the surface: "Forget it, let's go." ”

"I see, you're being released with pigeons?" The blonde young man suddenly realized, and he looked like 'I understand'.

You're really a 'king of understanding', and I like that kind of good teammate............ Su Shi silently sneered, but did not rush to affirm, but remained calm, looking like he didn't want to argue.

This kind of performance made the blonde young man confirm his guess more and more, and he didn't notice that the two were moving forward.

The other party quietly lagged behind him by half a position, and turned into a blonde youth to lead the way in front.

'Sue'........ This should be my identity name, which is quite suitable, Su Shi thought of this silently, and he didn't know whether the identity arranged by the Dusk Space for his dependents was based on the name match, or did it tamper with other people's impression of him?

Led by the blonde youth, the two turned into the stairs halfway through and went all the way down.

At this time, Su Shi realized that the entire rock wall corridor was larger than he had imagined, in a spiral shape, and at the bottom was the mining platform, and the sections of goods were suspended by them.

However, there is more than one platform in the work, and there are several promenades in the middle, all of which turn into the interior of the rock wall.

With the help of his free time, Su Shi also glanced up, and found that it seemed to be a residential area above, not the kind of dormitory for the workers, but a high-rise building made of steel, which made Su Shi thoughtful.

Obviously, it is within the scope of the 'Black Gold City', but the location he is in is more like an underground mine.

However, the buildings above the top do not seem to belong to the mine.........

Could it be that that place is the 'essence' of the Black Gold City?

From this, it can be deduced that he is in the underground veins of the Black Gold City, the so-called steam city-state, which is actually a steel city built on the mountain, the upper layer is the city itself, and the lower layer is the living environment of the miners?

This speculation is highly probable, after all, after reading the background of the Primordial Iron World, Su Shi knows that the status of the 'Black Craftsman' class is very different from that of ordinary people, and it makes sense that they live at the top.

There are also 'Draco people' in the original iron world.......... Su Shi silently sneered.

This is not good news.

This means that if Su Shi wants to obtain a piece of raw iron, the difficulty may be higher than imagined......... First of all, he had to get rid of his status as a miner and travel to the upper cities to get his hands on the raw iron.

Secondly, the time left for him in the main quest is only 84 hours, which is equivalent to 3.5 natural days, no, it is now less than 84 hours, and in just over three days, he must get rid of his identity as a miner and go to the upper city.......... It's not an easy task!

While thinking about it, Su Shi had already followed the blonde youth all the way to their workplace, which was the lowest platform.

"Why are you here? Hurry up and get to work! ”

A brown-haired middle-aged man who was also wearing a gray overalls but wearing a badge on his shoulder, after seeing the two of them, immediately stepped forward and said with some dissatisfaction: "Su, Kofei, today's task is a bit heavy, are you still grinding, do you want to drag down the performance of the whole group?" ”

It turned out that the name of the blonde youth was Coffey........... Schusher caught the information, and he remained silent, and sure enough, Coffey next to him took the initiative to step forward, apologize, and pull him to his post.

When the group leader was gone, Coffey whispered, "Damn Sander, isn't there a distant relative in Uptown who serves the blacksmith in the church?"

What is there to be proud of, doesn't he also live in the mines.......... How many people can live in Uptown?

Anyway, I think he will stay in the mine for the rest of his life! ”

Hearing this, Su Shi's heart moved, and sure enough, the structure of the Black Gold City was the same as he guessed, only divided into two major areas:

Uptown, and the bottom mining area.

According to Coffey, most of the ordinary people live in the mining area, and only a very small number of people are qualified to live in the upper city.

The blacksmiths must be one of them, and the rest are the laborers who keep the city running, and the people who serve the blacksmiths.

In just a short period of time, Su Shi had a general understanding of the entire Black Gold City through the information he had gathered, and at this moment, he became more and more aware of the high difficulty of the 'main line', and at present, it seemed that going to the upper city was a huge problem.

While thinking, Coffey took him to a work line, which was the job of the two.

Su Shi looked up and saw workers dressed in the same clothes as them next to the conveyor belt, and in front of them was a separate work table filled with various tools: mostly scissors, axes, and hammers, but also some tools with steam pipes.

Obviously powered by steam, there is no room for electricity in the world of raw steel.

When the two arrived, the workers on the workbench clearly knew them, and they all said hello or nodded their heads. Next, Coffey went to his work desk.

As for the location of Su Shi, it is also easy to find.......... The only one that is empty.

Find out the situation in the mining area first, and then look for an opportunity to go to Shangcheng District.......... After Su Shi made up his mind, he sat patiently at his workstation, and the next moment, there was a familiar prompt sound in his ears-

[Hint: You triggered the side quest Black Gold Miner.] 】

【Black Gold Miner】

Difficulty level: Lv.2

Content: Complete your work tasks and get the approval of your peers to achieve a role 'play'.

Deadline for completion: 3 hours (before noon).

Rewards: Aboriginal Recognition +1, Main Story Rating Increase, Activate a Basic Skill (Spirit Hunter).

This is a side quest.......... Su Shi's eyes lit up, and sure enough, the dusk space would not arrange a mortal start for him.

Judging from the situation, triggering the side quest is his turning point, and if you want to complete the main story, I'm afraid you have to rely on the rewards of the side quest.

It's just that.........

Su Shi looked at the workbench in front of him, which was dazzlingly arranged with tools, and suddenly realized a serious problem.

Although he is in the real world, he studied at Jiangke University in Guxia Kingdom, and he is an 'engineering dog' majoring in information engineering.

It stands to reason that his manual ability is definitely not weak.

But that was the era of electrification, and now he was in the world of raw iron, not even a single wire could be found, it was all steam power, including the tools on the workbench, some of which were connected to steam pipes, and Su Shi didn't know how to use it.

It's like throwing an expert in modern astronautics back to ancient shipbuilding........... The profession is not right!

How do I complete a side quest? At this moment, a huge problem was placed in front of Su Shi.
