The Conculos Mountains belong to the official Vadanis, and every player who enters needs to pay a handling fee of 10 gold coins.
These ten gold coins only allow players to mine in the mine for 8 hours.
Even if the price is so expensive, there is still an endless stream of players coming here. In the two months since the game was launched, there have been countless stories of people getting rich overnight by digging out the best ore.
Su Ming paid the money and walked into the mine.
In places like mines where players are densely packed, stalls are essential, but the players setting up stalls here are all selling ores, not equipment.
Su Ming first walked around the surrounding area, looking for white fluorite from the stalls. He clicked through a dozen stalls and found no one selling white fluorite.
"It should be a mission item. It's just like fighting monsters normally. It only explodes after accepting the mission."
Now I can only dig mine by myself.
Some of the players who entered the mine were holding mining picks and some were holding drills. Su Ming walked against the players who entered the mine and found a businessman NPC.
Mining picks and drill bits were purchased from him.
After talking to the NPC, Su Ming opened the store:
Junior Mining Pickaxe: Mining speed increased by 5%, with mining (LV1). Durability: 100/100, Price: 10 gold coins.
Intermediate mining pickaxe: mining speed increased by 10%, with mining (LV2). Durability: 100/100, selling price: 20 gold coins.
Advanced Mining Pickaxe:…
Junior Drill: Mining speed increased by 30%, comes with mining (LV4). Durability: 150/150, Price: 60 gold coins.
Intermediate drill: mining speed increased by 50%, with mining (LV5). Durability: 150/150, equipment requirements: intermediate miner, price: 120 gold coins.
Judging from the attributes of these mining picks and drill bits, the best mining equipment for non-mining professional players is the entry-level drill bit.
Although there was no time limit for the task, Su Ming felt that it was better to complete it as quickly as possible, so he gritted his teeth and directly purchased a junior drill bit.
"When the task is completed, I will use up the durability of this drill bit so that it can be worth the money spent." After buying the mining pick, Su Ming looked at other items.
In addition to selling mining equipment, merchants also sell some work clothes, miner hats and the like. These items have only one attribute, which is to increase physical strength.
Su Ming asked a player next to him:
"What is this physical strength value?"
"You can't mine all the time. It will consume stamina. One tube of stamina can mine for about an hour." A passerby player was also very patient and said, "Are you new to mining? Which fashions from merchants should you not buy? It's a waste of money.
Just buy his stamina potions directly, it’s more economical.”
"Thank you. I wish you find good ore."
Su Ming followed the player's advice and found the stamina potion.
Stamina Potion: Restores 50 points of stamina consumed by secondary work, resistance: 1 (only one potion can be effective every hour).
After purchasing the equipment, Su Ming went to the mine.
The drill was operated in a fool-like manner, with only start and stop buttons on it. When Su Ming held it in his hand, a temporary "Mining (LV4)" skill appeared in the skill bar.
There are already many people mining in the mine.
Su Ming followed their example and stared at the mine wall with the drill bit.
Sizzle.
The drill bit rotated, and a "Mining..." progress bar appeared in front of Su Ming's eyes. It took about 30 seconds. The time would be slightly adjusted depending on Su Ming's collection location.
System: You mined ore from a rock wall. Unfortunately, you did not find any ore.
System: You mined a rock wall and collected 4g of iron ore.
System: You mined ore from a rock wall. Unfortunately, you did not find any ore.
After collecting for a long time, almost half of the prompts given by the system were "Sorry"... The most important thing is that Su Ming didn't even collect 1g of white crystal stone.
After asking the players who were passing by, they said they didn't know about white crystals, but they suggested that Su Ming go to the depths of the mine to have a look. There are very few types of ores at the entrance.
Su Ming headed deeper into the mine. There were kerosene lamps embedded in advance in the mine, and everything was bright and yellow.
Deep in the mines, some monsters such as bats and kobolds appear, and these monsters will attack mining players.
There is a group of players who specialize in cleaning up monsters in mines and then collecting tolls... because the fees are not expensive, they can exist.
Su Ming also handed over a silver coin before coming in.
"Perhaps where there are fewer people, there will be more ore." Su Ming thought, walking around in the mines extending in all directions, and found a place where no one was digging.
"This is it." Su Ming was very confident. He picked up the drill bit and was about to mine when a "squeak" scream came from above his head.
A "dark night bat" half the size of a man pounced on Su Ming.
Su Ming dropped the drill bit and rolled to avoid the attack of the night bat, complaining in his heart:
"Didn't you say that all the monsters have been eliminated? These people are cheating money..."
Su Ming called out Xiaohei and Zuemon and said to them:
"Xiao Hei, Zaemon, you protect me from mining."
"Yes." The two pets answered in unison, rushed towards the Night Bat, and beat it up.
Su Ming finally settled down to mine.
However, there are a lot of "sorry"s again.
Su Ming used reverse thinking and came up with a not-so-good fact:
"Is it because no one comes here because there is too little ore?"
"No, no, maybe I haven't found this place yet. One person digging a place will gain more than ten people digging a place, right?"
"Dig for another half hour!"
Su Ming calmed down and started mining.
He stared at the time closely, and 30 minutes was almost up. Su Ming was a little desperate and decided to follow the crowd and go mining in a crowded place. When he saw a system prompt that gave him hope.
System: You mined a rock wall and collected 12g of Baiying ore.
"Bai Ying Ore?"
Su Ming quickly opened the taskbar and found that the progress of the paint task had indeed increased.
White fluorite(1.2/3000).
Originally, Su Ming used to have 3,000 units of white quartzite, but now it seems that the mission requires 30 kilograms of white quartz stone.
"It took me more than an hour to collect 1.2 grams of white quartzite. How long will it take to dig these 30 kilograms?" Su Ming opened the friends bar and found that Venus was not online.
Nas sent a message and asked her to help find mining strategies, but she couldn't do it.
"Forget it, let's continue digging here. At least we dug it, maybe it's just bad luck." Su Ming aimed at the place where the Baiying ore was dug out just now, and drilled hard.
2.6.
5.4.
Su Ming's task progress is slowly increasing.
Amidst the noisy sound of drill bits, Su Ming heard the sound of footsteps, turned around and couldn't take his eyes away.
She is a female miner, but her gender is not the focus. The focus is her mining equipment.
Wearing a professional brown miner's uniform, he held a gold drill in his hand and even had a few squibs inserted into his waist.
She was holding something like a radar in her hand, which looked very professional at first glance.
The woman didn't pay attention to Su Ming, and walked directly past Su Ming and walked deeper into the mine.
"I don't know how to find a place to mine, others do." Su Ming immediately put away the drill bit and followed the woman in a hurry.
