Volume 1 The Rule of Nothing Chapter 092 Mining Association
The fact that lightning can be emitted by striking each other's hands must be the result of the mutual impact and cooperation of spells from a certain system. Wu Qi thought for a moment, combined with the weather phenomena in reality, and guessed the answer. Thunder and lightning are water vapor transpiration forming clouds in the sky, causing fierce friction.
It happened last. Sure enough, when both hands simultaneously activated the water magic and high-fived each other quickly, another bolt of lightning quickly shot out from the folded palms.
Wu nodded, with a happy look on his face. It turns out that the five elements are the foundation of magic, and more complex types of magic can be derived from it. Nezha's Hot Wheels in myths and legends is probably a compound magic of wind and fire... eh
, how did the wind element come about? After hesitating for a moment, Wu Qi felt that now is not the time to study various compound spells. The most important thing is to understand and master the use of Yuanli and the "world". It is best to find Maomao.
This small discovery made Wu Qi happy for a while, but is this really the case? In fact, it is not, this is just a way of practice that suits him. The game world is constantly improving itself, building a perfect myth, and there is no way to
Fixed experience to follow. To say there is one is to pursue the "Great Way" - in this world, there is no law.
Wu Qi once again concentrated on meditation, immersed in the boundless microscopic body. The endless energy was like a rushing river, returning to the sea, and then flowing from the sea through the limbs and all the orifices, in an endless cycle. His mind slowly turned like a glass ball.
The world is close, crystal clear, and no impurities can be seen.
Suddenly, Wu Qi found that his mind had entered the "world", without distinction between up, down, left and right, boundless. Regarding the "world" transformed by Maomao, Wu Qi had a different kind of emotion, which was kind, nostalgic, and sad. It made him feel sad.
What's disappointing is that Wu Qi didn't find the same "body" as last time, and his mind was just an invisible existence here.
In fact, staying here for a long time will definitely drive a normal person crazy, because it is very quiet, very empty, although it is very bright. Wu Qi was "drifting" back and forth - who knows if he has moved, because it is the same no matter where he is. Fortunately
Yes, you can quit at any time and let your mind return to your body. This discovery made Wu Qi breathe a sigh of relief, and then he settled down to stay in and think about the problem.
He didn't know how long he had been in a daze, but Wu Qi slowly realized that although there seemed to be nothing here, it was actually evenly filled with a kind of energy. If he was not mistaken, it should be Yuanli. It was even, soft, and so quiet that it was almost imperceptible.
.
Wu Qi smiled bitterly. The more obvious something is, the easier it is to be ignored.
It's just that discovery is one thing. Wu Qi found that he couldn't command the Yuanli here. No matter how much he thought about it, there was no response. It was like holding an iron spoon in reality and trying to bend it. It was a futile effort.
Recalling that the "Nascent Soul" had been formed here, Wu Qi gave up. Perhaps that thing was the key to using the energy here.
I’m so depressed, I can’t reach the sky or reach the ground...

As the sun sets and night falls, China Town becomes more and more like a city that never sleeps. The lights are bright and the crowds are bustling. It is not much different from the daytime, because now China Town has gathered at least 60% of the public beta players. The reason is simple, the management is loose.
, you can open a shop, the land is cheap, there are entertainment venues... Of course, the most important point is that even if you kill someone, as long as no player comes out to request a wanted arrest, you can freely enter and leave China Town.
A small warning.
There was an orderly queue at the entrance of the "Grand Master Weapons" store, whispering, and two people stood side by side under the ancient-style carved door. Next to the door was a table, and an NPC clerk was busy writing. These two people turned out to be
Tiedan and Pan Shi were watching the players who applied to join pass by the table one by one, with smiles that couldn't be concealed on their faces.
"Tetsushiro applies to join the Jiujiu Gold Mining Association!"
"I am invincible, apply to join."
"Song of Everlasting Regret applies to join!"
…
It turns out that the "Jiujiu Gold Mining Association" has been officially launched. As the founder, Tiedan gathered ten friends with mining skills. After registering the association, the board of directors framework was determined on a small scale and elected as the first member.
A chairman has a one-year term - I don’t know if this counts as seeking power for personal gain. The association can set conditions for allowing members to join, but currently there are no restrictions.
"Brother, it looks like the future is good!" Pan Shi smiled cheerfully. In his eyes, these members were nothing more than walking money, so of course he was happy. "Well, speaking of which, I have to thank you for giving me such a good opportunity.
"Tiedan grinned and smiled. As the chairman of the association, the short-term benefits are not obvious yet, but he has already gained the benefit of increasing his reputation by 300 points.
"I didn't expect that your idea of joining for free within 24 hours is really attractive. It's true that a hero comes from a boy." Tiedan also showed a bit of admiration in his tone. Pan Shi didn't refuse and said with a smile: "Brother, thank you. It's a shopping mall.
, we’ll do whatever it takes, as long as it’s useful to us and doesn’t violate the law, only some gimmicks will be attractive.”
The association has been authorized by Zhonghua Town to mine the Jiujiu Gold Mine. As long as you are a member of the association, you are eligible to mine. In order to expand its influence, the association issued an announcement that you are allowed to become a member for free within 24 hours. If you join after the expiration date, you will have to pay a membership fee.
Yes. This is the reason why so many people gather here. It’s a rare opportunity. Although we don’t know how much the membership fee is yet, it’s every player’s mentality to save as much as possible.
"Haha, brother, you can hire more beautiful NPCs from now on. Pretty ones will make your weapon shop more lively. Don't always use male NPCs, they are not eye-catching at all." Pan Shi suddenly said in a sly voice.
He came over and said, "Well, let's talk about this later, let's talk about it, haha..." Tiedan smiled, with a hesitant look on his face, seeming to be a little worried.
"However, according to the agreement between the association and China Town, the fees paid by members are a bit too much!" Tiedan looked at the crowd for a while, then suddenly turned to Pan Shi and said.
According to the one-year agreement between Pan Shi and the "Jiujiu Gold Mining Association" represented by Tiedan, the association must pay a monthly mining capitation fee of 5 gold coins per person based on the number of members. In addition, it must also pay a monthly refining fee.
2 pounds of good pure gold.
According to Tiedan’s explanation after the field visit, the ore in the Jiujiu Gold Mine is of excellent quality. You can easily find ore with extremely high gold content, and it is stored on the surface of the ground, so there is basically no effort to mine it. Therefore, the first priority for members is to practice.
He is good at refining skills and can extract pure gold from ores as quickly as possible. If there are enough ores, he can refine 4 kilograms of pure gold in ten days at his level. Even a low-level player with basic refining skills can spend 2
It takes about ten days to extract 4 pounds of pure gold.
2 kilograms of pure gold is roughly equivalent to 200 gold coins, which can be used directly to pay NPC fees. Although the places where it can be used are quite limited, if the pure gold is refined into fine gold, it can definitely be auctioned for a good price. Because any piece of gold is enough
Weapons of this level cannot be forged without fine gold.
After listening to Tiedan's words, Pan Shi shook his head and said: "Brother has just become the chairman of the board, and he is seeking benefits for members. Although there are some restrictions on the circulation of pure gold, the quality of Jiujiu Gold Mine is so high, the most common
Mining players can also extract at least 6 kilograms of pure gold in a month, which is equivalent to 600 gold coins, which is 6,000 yuan. And they only need to hand us 5 gold coins and 2 kilograms of pure gold, which is only 2,050 yuan.
Yuan RMB. I still feel like I lost money!" He was trying to change the concept. Pure gold is not the same as gold coins. In fact, due to the time limit of the launch time, each player can only play for half a month in the game.
.In other words, even if an ordinary player refines like crazy every day, he can only produce 3-4 kilograms of pure gold at most.
Tie Dan naturally understands this truth. Pan Shi's petty calculations can't be concealed from his careless and meticulous Lao Jianghu. Tie Dan shook his head and said: "Anyway, the ownership of the gold mine is yours, as long as you don't let the members be unprofitable."
As long as it's profitable. Otherwise, I'm afraid the mining association won't last long."
"Haha, don't worry, brother. Look at the players who are asking to join the association. How many of them are just starting out? Most of them have ability values above 2,000. No matter how hard it is, 5 or 6 kilograms of pure gold can be refined in 15 days.
You calculate, if you pay 5 gold coins to Zhonghua Town, you will also pay 5 gold coins to the association every month for membership fees, a total of 10 gold coins. As long as they can harvest 1 catty of pure gold by themselves, they will all make a profit." Pan Shiqiao
He pointed the calculation to Tiedan, then pointed at the long queue and said: "There is no need to calculate this account too much. Just look at the enthusiasm and you will know. Who among the people in the queue is not a smart person."
Tiedan smiled and stopped insisting. From Pan Shi's point of view, the more friends he has, the better. And from his point of view as the chairman, the starting point is naturally to safeguard the interests of members. After all, the association is just an organization.
It is a non-profit organization and has no affiliation with China Town, only a transactional relationship.
Although the establishment of the association and the exclusive mining rights were all due to the care of Wu Qi and others, Tiedan also made it clear to Pan Shi when he took on this task. If he was to initiate it, then he could guarantee that he would cooperate with Zhonghua Town
Cooperate well, but the most important thing is to be responsible for members and safeguard their interests. Rather than becoming an "accomplice" of China Town - at least in the eyes of some players, it is better to reject it as soon as possible.
When Pan Shi heard this, he was very happy and secretly praised Wu Qi for not finding the wrong person. The main purpose of establishing such an association was to disguise the wealth of Zhonghua Town to avoid being coveted. If Tiedan
I agreed without any principle, just because I was afraid that the association would not be able to achieve its set goals by then, and would expose Chinatown even more nakedly to the enemy's sight.
The queue was in good order. Waves of players quickly left to mine after registering, and new players continued to join the registration process.
The sun sets and the moon rises. Ever since Wu Qi left, Pan Shi has been planning this matter. It has been 24 hours since yesterday morning, and more and more players have registered.
"Brother, are there so many mining players in the game?" The more people there are, the more money and pure gold he can receive. Although Pan Shi was happy, he was also extremely confused.
"According to my estimation, it is almost impossible to earn money by killing monsters in the game now, and good equipment is not so easy to obtain, so many players have to learn some life skills to make money while practicing."
Dan Dan also frowned. From his point of view, having more people is not necessarily a good thing.
Because the property paid to China Town cannot be less, if many players who are not familiar with the industry and do not even know the refining skills cannot pay the full amount of pure gold on a monthly basis, the association must pay. After a certain period of time, this member
The association will be ordered to withdraw from the membership, and the system will deduct property, reputation points, compliance with laws, etc. If the association cannot maintain its status within a certain period of time, it will be declared bankrupt and all members will be subject to similar punishments.
"The time for free membership is almost over. I have to convene a meeting with the council members to report the situation and then adjust the membership fee." Tiedan thought of the consequences and frowned even more. He hurried to the side to summon Mirror Gu and muttered.
He mumbled.
After a while, Tiedan stood up, raised his hands high, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, I am very happy that you have chosen the Jiujiu Gold Mining Association. As the chairman of the association, I would like to express my gratitude. I don't know if you have read our announcement in detail.
The right to join the association is to be able to go to the Jiujiu Gold Mine for mining, and the obligations are also onerous."
Tiedan was full of energy, and his voice spread far into the night: "I believe that many of the brothers and sisters present must have just joined the ranks of mining, but you have to think about it seriously, 7 people per month
The gold coin membership fee is either too much or too little. The most important thing is, can you hand over 2.5 kilograms of pure gold on time? If not, my brother would like to advise you to practice the refining technique first, and then join the association.
We welcome you all the time, and the gold mine will not run away with long legs."
It turned out that after deliberation, the board of directors considered that there would be members who could not pay their dues on time, so the membership dues were set at 7 gold coins and 2.5 kilograms of pure gold, of which 5 gold coins and 2 kilograms of pure gold were given to Zhonghua Town, and the remaining
as expenses and reserves for the operation of the association.
There were whispers among the long queue, and they looked at Tiedan with surprised eyes. There was no one who was not allowed to join.
"In view of the fact that the 24-hour free membership period has expired, it has been decided by the Board of Directors. If anyone still insists on joining the association, they will have to pay an admission fee of 50 gold coins from now on." Tiedan announced the decision of the Board of Directors loudly.
There was an uproar in the team and the order was in chaos. Some said with emotion: "Fuck, it's too late." Some threatened: "F*ck, if you don't let me join for free, I will kill you all." Some looked shocked:
"50 gold coins, holy shit, you're robbing people!" Some turned around and left silently, while others looked nostalgic, just to name a few. But none of them actually took action. After all, it would be unwise to do so in a town.
The patrol team collapsed, and it was absolutely worthless. Now the city defense is stricter than in the past. Occasionally, those who occasionally brawl in the city regardless of the ban are sent to hell to be reincarnated. What a joke, who can resist an army of hundreds of people?
Live...
Of course, after the crowd gradually thinned out, there were still a few players who still insisted on joining. They queued up to register with the NPC, and then swiped their cards to pay.
Tiedan smiled bitterly. This was a last resort. If he didn't set a higher threshold, he was afraid that the association would be mixed, and the members would be the unlucky ones in the end. At this time, he suddenly regretted taking Pan Shi's suggestion to join for free. Pan Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
I was really afraid that someone would cause trouble, so I had already prepared a team of troops hiding in the dark and waiting at any time. Fortunately, it was not used, otherwise the good thing would have ended badly.
The starry sky before dawn was particularly dark blue. A slender figure walked slowly in the distance, getting closer and closer. Under the light, an elegant face was revealed. Tiedan's frown relaxed, and he waved his hands loudly.
She said: "Qiqi, it's so late, do you have anything else to do?" He just took a few steps and looked back at Pan Shi. The rough man suddenly looked a little shy. The owner of the tailor shop came from a distance.
When I come here, naturally I won’t be chatting with Pan Shi.
"Hey, brother, I've been watching for a few hours. It's time for me to go back." Pan Shi smiled secretly, waved his hand, and found an excuse to leave. There seemed to be something wrong with these two people. I wonder if they were there.
In-game dating is still about having extramarital affairs.
Pan Shi was happy as he walked. He was also happy that Brother Tiedan suddenly showed his son-daughter attitude. He was even more happy that there were estimated to be nearly ten thousand people joining the association today. As a result, Zhonghua Town's monthly income increased by tens of thousands of gold coins.
This does not include the pure gold collected. It is simply a huge profit, no, it is a huge profit without capital. Zhonghua Town does not need to pay for anything. It only has a concept to save labor, management, and defense. As for the iron egg injury,
Mental issues are beyond the scope of his consideration.
"In this case, we can almost apply for the construction of Tiangongyuan." Pan Shi murmured to himself.
There are many ways to walk from here to the meeting hall. No matter which street it is, it is always brightly lit and people are coming and going. Pan Shi was walking on the road, constantly calculating and conceiving in his mind, without noticing the three or five people on the opposite side.
He was walking towards him. Suddenly he realized that someone seemed to be blocking his way. Pan Shi was about to duck to the side when he suddenly felt a sharp wind coming, followed by a stabbing pain in his chest. He vaguely saw a ferocious smiling face, and his body was weak.
He fell to the ground softly, and an exclamation came from his ears: "Killing, killing..." and the sound of messy footsteps again, and then his eyes gradually darkened and he fell unconscious...

In total, this was the fourth day Wu Qi had entered the cabin. His mind was wandering around in the "world", and he didn't feel the rapid passage of time, let alone what was happening outside.
During this period of time, Wu Qi has been thinking, pondering, and experiencing the method of using Yuan Li. Although he did not realize the existence of Maomao, he finally had a new understanding and discovery of Yuan Li. Wu Qi's mind was closely connected with Yuan Li.
As it flows through the body, enters the world, and emerges suddenly, one gradually becomes more and more familiar with the operation and accumulation of Yuanli.
Although the circulation of Yuanli is a process of self-circulation and proliferation, Wu Qi also discovered that once he is familiar with the operation method, he can not only speed up or slow down it. What is particularly gratifying is that the mind and Yuanli follow each other like this.
, controlling the speed of Yuanli's operation, the process of absorbing and transforming the weather's Yuanqi can be greatly accelerated. Yuanli, like internal force, can become deeper and deeper.
At this time, his mind just completed a circle and entered the world. Wu Qi was surprised to find that in the clear world, a large ancient character "韟" appeared, and his heart suddenly became empty.
