Chapter 50: The Mark of Legend
He was still worried that his red name had not turned yellow, and no living person would be suffocated to death by urine. If he came to the mine now, he would find a familiar scene.
The cause was a player named "Nanshan Engineering Man" among the first batch of players. It doesn't matter where the gaming helmet came from or who his real identity is.
A passerby player, who wasted many opportunities in the early stage due to personal reasons, focused on the outside of Bicchi City and just reached level 11.
Unable to get a suitable weapon, he set his eyes on the "Pickaxe" sold in the weapon shop. This action made early players love and hate him.
I hated him during the boring time of mining, but when I sold the minerals to the owner of the weapons shop, I secretly thanked him.
After buying the weapons, our protagonist continued to wander out of the city, but he walked all the way to the abandoned mining area without encountering any monsters.
As soon as I entered the cave, I noticed the lamp post at the door and a completely dark passage in the distance.
After equipping the candles, I just heard the "whoosh" sound made by the zombies, and then I saw several small fireballs hitting the slow-moving zombies.
This monster belonged to someone else. After wandering around for a while, as a warrior, he didn't even have a chance to touch the monster.
It would be a waste of time to continue messing around, so I just wanted to go back the same way and try my luck in other maps.
Just as he was about to reach the door, a zombie spawned right under his nose and started digging with a pickaxe in hand.
The zombie didn't dig it out, so the Fireball Wizard next to him snatched it away, but the traces of digging on the edge of the barrel attracted his attention.
It was useless to swing the mattock at the spot. Just when I was about to launch an attack on the wall of the passage, the same image information as a butcher cutting meat appeared in my mind, except that this time it was the action of mining.
This thing is not difficult for him. He learned it when he was in school, and he also dug it for half a year during his internship.
Using his understanding and muscle memory, he took the mattock and started digging.
The surprise came from inadvertently, more and more ores appeared in his backpack. Although he didn't understand the game value, he still knew the quality of the ores.
Things that can be easily obtained cannot be of high value, so I only kept one of each low-durability copper mine and did not plan to take the others.
As a result, he just threw the coins out, and all the players nearby picked them up as if they were treasures. This action made him regret it immediately, and he kept all of them later.
There is only one consequence of doing this, and that is that a large amount of ore will easily fill up his backpack. If he doesn't want to throw it away, he can only take it all back and sell it to a store?
The weight had already overflowed, so he definitely couldn't run. Even his walking was more than half slower than usual. After struggling for a long time, he finally handed it over to the owner of the weapons shop.
After selling it once, I understood the approximate value of the ore. Now I hate low-durability ores, especially copper, which is even less expensive than chicken. No wonder I can get a sack of it when I dig it up!
But there were a few good things, and after dealing with them all, I not only made back the money I spent on the mattock, but also had a surplus of more than 100 copper coins.
So I traded all my assets for three mattocks, and this time I planned to dig up a full bag of high-quality ore, and I had to sell it for a good price!
After arriving at the mine again, he did not change his place and continued to dig with his head down. When he saw ore starting to appear on the ground, he stopped immediately.
After standing on it, throw away all the garbage in the bag first. You can pick up the garbage under your feet as long as the weight is reduced.
Later, they opened the packages to dig and threw away the garbage directly. These actions attracted the attention of players at the entrance of the entire abandoned mine, and some players began to come over to establish relationships with them.
"What is this copper ore? Did you throw it?"
Someone asked, and considering that everyone can watch this thing, I shared it without hesitation. This unreserved action is bound to receive heartfelt thanks from others.
As an invisible man in real life, he really enjoyed the feeling of being needed, so he started digging at the door and scattered garbage all over the entrance.
Every player who enters the mine and sees this scene cannot help but be curious.
He was so proud of himself that he even shared the approximate prices that he verified himself, just for that one sentence: Thank you, big boss!
In Legend, you need game coins to buy equipment, repair equipment, and even buy potions and supplies!
The key is that you can't buy this game currency even if you have money! There are no merchants, no recharge, and no one makes gold. After finally killing a monster, nothing drops!
Therefore, the legendary players now have to spend every penny of the goblin team in the Incense Stone Tomb, and currently there is only one person who can barely break even.
Except for him, no one could resist the temptation of game coins, especially the players who were attracted and really made their first pot of gold.
The process was definitely not as exciting as beating monsters. Sharing joy is worse than enjoying it alone, so everyone started to brag about their gains. The princesses and young masters who had suffered so much all said the same thing when they met beggars:
I don’t have any game coins to borrow. If you want them, come and dig them yourself in the mining area!
Word spread like wildfire, and at least half of the players above level 11 were attracted to the mines. There was no other way; the higher the level, the poorer they were!
The current scene in the Beach and Viper Valley mining areas is the same.
Under the dim candlelight, one can hear the clanging sounds of mining, as well as the doggerel created by the idle miners, interspersed with conversations about competing for mining sites:
"There's someone squatting here, please make way."
"I just went downstairs to use the toilet. I have been digging here all the time."
"Make way, this area is occupied."
"You won't let me, right? Then neither of us can live in peace."
......
"One, two, three, four, five. Mining is really hard. The bag is full of copper, and the purity is only five."
"There are plenty of fish in the sea, why not try another place?"
"I was hoeing the field at noon, and my sweat dripped down to the ground. All I dug up was copper, all of which were of 50% purity."
"There is true love everywhere in the world. Can we not rob the mines?"
“Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Mining is making me feel annoyed.”
"Dividing three by five by two, the purity is always 2."
There are happy and funny ones, and of course there are shameful robbers. Some of them wander around the entrance of the mine, looking for anyone walking slowly, and then they immediately throw a small fireball at them.
The explosion rate after exceeding the load limit is extremely high, at least ten pieces can be dropped for you, which is at least the result of their labor for several hours!
There are also some that are running around the entire map. If you ask them, just say they are helping to clear out the zombies so you can mine with peace of mind.
But they will observe who is still digging, and if there is a lot of junk ore on the ground, then the poor miner will have no choice but to go back to the city and come back again.
The reason for the rampage was the great melee in Bichi. The demons in everyone's heart were released, and now it is impossible to hold them accountable.
I have already accepted the rules of this game in my heart. Games are games, reality is reality, and if you encounter reality, you will have to bear the consequences.
They are still relatively happy. Most of the players are below level 11. They are still trying to enclose land in the map and upgrade. They don’t even have the chance to become miners.
The population density in Mengzhong has also increased, because every day there are lucky players who pass through the intersection of the Viper Valley and enter the territory of Mengzhong.
As long as they don't die, it's only a matter of time before they find the safe zone. Even if they're unlucky and still haven't found it before the candles run out, they still have daytime to continue looking.
Moreover, as long as someone in the circle has been to the safe zone and asked for the coordinates, it is not difficult at all, because the skills deeply rooted in the bones of all players are:
Follow the coordinates to find the location!
There is also a group of players with greater abilities and stronger means, many of whom went to another meat grinder: the WoMa Temple.
The WoMa monsters were not as expected. They dealt with each one as if they were a BOSS, with two mages pulling them together and melee fighters helping to hold back the other monsters.
It's easier to deal with if there are many teams together, one or two people in a team can solve the problem, but when encountering monsters, the demand for potions is not simple at all.
Their upgrade to level 13 is already very powerful, and only a few Taoists have reached this level, but as long as they don't have the ability to cast poison, their use in this map is still too small.
The damage caused by the WoMa monsters is impossible to recover even if they shake their heads until smoke comes out. Moreover, they have a perverted backward movement, so a single warrior can't output anything at all.
And someone in the same picture has also made up his mind, the...
