Chapter 24 Application for Mining
"Brother Lu, I inquired from other senior brothers, and a new disciple like us basically doesn't have the opportunity to mine. If you want to mine, you have to hand over more spirit stones!" Yuan Jia said nervously to Lu Hao.
"It's okay to pay more spirit stones, but I just don't know how much more you need to pay. Lu Hao said thoughtfully.
"It is said that newcomers need at least five spirit stones. ”
Lu Hao's heart was relieved, and he thought that he would have to hand over ten or twenty yuan, so he said: "Tomorrow morning, we will go to find 'Scar' and tell him that we will go mining!"
Yuan Jiaping nodded.
Early the next morning, Lu Hao and Yuan Jiaping came to Scar's residence. As soon as Scar saw that they were two new outer disciples, he immediately put on a look of contempt.
He lifted Erlang's legs, held a toothpick in his mouth, and said in a strange manner: "You two boys don't work hard, what are you doing here?" I can tell you, I have always been an iron-faced and selfless man!"
Before Lu Hao and the others could speak, they listened to him ramble a lot, but the two had to listen obediently.
'Scar' said it, and when he saw that the two of them looked numb, he seemed to lose interest, and asked, "Tell me, what is the matter?"
At this time, Yuan Jiaping smiled and arched his hand: "Senior Brother Niu, the two of us came today to ask Senior Brother for a mining errand. ”
"Mining?" Scar was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes, and pretended to have a difficult face: "If you want to say that mining is a good errand, but generally new disciples are not arranged, this matter is ......"
Lu Hao interjected: "Senior Brother Niu, we all know the rules. ”
Scar looked at Lu Hao carefully for a while, and couldn't help but wonder a little in his heart, seeing that this kid was not very old, but his eyes gave people the illusion that he could see through everything. He immediately said, "Since that's the case, I won't go around the bend." As you must know, this mining job is a good opportunity for your outer disciples to generate income. Every 1,000 catties of ore dug out, you can exchange it for a low-grade spirit stone from the sect. ”
Lu Hao and the others nodded. Scar continued, "So if you want to mine, you'll have to pay me some 'management fee'. This fee is generally charged by old disciples for three lower grade spirit stones per month, but for new entrants, this fee is higher. ”
Lu Hao and the two looked at each other, and then stared at the scar, which means, you just say it.
I saw Scar said slowly: "You two have to pay ...... every month Ten pieces. After saying that, he stared at the two of them with blazing eyes.
As soon as Yuan Jiaping heard so much, he became excited all of a sudden, and was about to open his mouth to say something, when suddenly, he was grabbed by a hand.
I saw Lu Hao grabbing Yuan Jiaping while smiling at Scar: "In this way, thank you Senior Brother Niu!"
With that, he pulled Yuan Jiaping and hurriedly left Scar's residence, leaving Scar with his head bowed and pondering......
When Lu Hao and the others returned to the cave, Yuan Jiaping said to Lu Hao with an angry face: "Brother Lu, how can you promise him, he is clearly slandering us!"
Lu Hao said lightly: "Jiaping, don't be angry, it won't be long before I ask him to obediently send us a lot of spirit stones." After speaking, he smiled mysteriously at Yuan Jiaping.
Yuan Jiaping looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Before dawn the next day, Lu Hao and the others were called to a cave by an outer disciple. It is said to be a cave, but it is actually a hollow space carved out of the inside of the mountain. I saw that this cave was about dozens of zhang square, and there was a circular Dharma platform in the center of the cave. On either side of the Dharma platform, there were two 'yellow-clothed' disciples.
At this time, there were about 100 disciples from the outer sect in the cave. After a while, I saw 'Scar' swaggering into the cave.
Scar glanced around at the people in the room, his lips counting as he counted. After a moment, he turned his head and nodded at the two 'yellow-clothed'. Then he turned to the crowd: "Today is your fourth group of mining, the old rules, dig more, earn more, but there is one, if you are tired and paralyzed or tired to death, the sect is not responsible." So I advise you to take it easy. ”
After speaking, he waved his hand and flashed to the side.
About twenty of the people walked into the circular altar together. After everyone stood still, the two yellow-clothed disciples each took out a spirit stone from the storage bag on their waists and stuffed it into the grooves on both sides of the altar. Then the two pinched the trick, and after a while, the altar was golden and prosperous, and a circular pillar of light shot upwards from the bottom of the altar. In a moment, everyone disappeared at once.
Lu Hao's eyes stared at this scene with straight eyes, and he muttered in his mouth: "Teleportation Array!"
After the four waves of people were teleported away, it came to Lu Hao and their waves. Lu Hao and Yuan Jiaping walked to the altar with everyone, and when they walked to 'Scar', 'Scar' stretched out his arm to block the two.
Lu Hao and the others were stunned for a moment, only to see 'Scar' spread out his palms and look at the two with a smile. Lu Hao came to his senses, took out three lower-grade spirit stones from the storage bag, handed them to the hand of 'Scar', and said, "Senior Brother Niu, the rest will be given to you in a few days." ”
Yuan Jiaping also took out three spirit stones from the storage bag and handed them over to 'Scar'. Scar looked at the two of them with a smile, didn't say anything, put the spirit stone into the storage bag, and with a wave of his hand, the two entered the altar.
As a golden light shot out, Lu Hao and the others left the cave with the last wave of disciples.
After a whirlwind, Lu Hao was teleported to a mine with everyone. After Lu Hao saw his surroundings clearly, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.
I saw that this place was crystal clear, and the surrounding stone walls were full of turquoise colors. Around these stone walls, there are several night pearls, which illuminate the place brightly.
Lu Hao and the others saw that everyone picked up pickaxes and other tools from the ground, and each of them picked up a handful, and began to dig mines.
He found that it was not possible to mine using the gravitational techniques he had previously learned. What I saw before was scattered ore. Here, however, there are solid 'stone walls', so the most primitive method can only be used to chisel down the ore with tools and put it into storage bags.
In this way, Lu Hao and Yuan Jiaping followed everyone and began the work of 'miners'. Time passed slowly, and the day was soon over.
Although most of the people here are 'monks' with some mana, such high-intensity physical labor is a great load for everyone. At the end of a day's work, everyone was like a defeated rooster, spread on the ground in all directions.
Since it was the first time for Lu Hao and the others to work here, the situation was of course even worse. Yuan Jiaping basically only worked for most of the day, and the rest of the time he sat on the ground panting and resting. And Lu Hao didn't do much more than Yuan Jiaping.
