After sitting on the pier for a while, Chu Nan decided that before leaving, it would be better to walk around the volcanic island and take a look. Maybe there are some places that he or others have never discovered, like that
The small slope leads to the cave inside the volcano. Who would have thought that there is an S-level material waiting for players to discover it?
Then, Chu Nan stood up and said to the only ship moored at the pier: "Stay guard near the pier. Any pirate ship that approaches will be destroyed by me. Any ship that attempts to do evil to the port will also be destroyed."
Destroy it for me too!"
This is Chu Nan's own ship, and it is also the only armed force that Chu Nan can drive to protect Volcano Port at the moment. Moreover, Big Beard is still on it, there are enough NPC sailors in the cabin, and there are enough cannonballs in the ship's warehouse.
In addition, Chu Nan purchased plenty of wood from the lumber dealer to replenish it. In the case of one-on-one shell fire, the Maple Leaf would not easily lose to other ships.
After everything was entrusted, Chu Nan climbed back up the small slope again and walked through the cave again.
This cave was much cooler than when Chu Nan left for the first time. There were no monsters along the way. Only in the area very close to the exit of the volcano would the magma demons appear.
Chu Nan slowly slid his hand along the inner wall of the cave. About half way from the first pit, the two sides of the cave were mostly composed of volcanic ash and rock blocks. He almost broke it with force.
You can break off a piece of soil, and judging from the freshness of the soil on both sides, it seems that this road has just been dug out. But halfway through, it completely turned into a rock cave. The roads on both sides
The stone walls are extremely hard and very old. It seems that the second half of the tunnel has existed for quite some time.
Chu Nan frowned slightly, then relaxed it quickly. He seemed to have thought of something. He rushed back to the blacksmith in the town like the wind, bought a brand new iron pickaxe, and returned quickly.
go back.
"God bless me, this can't be a..." Chu Nan murmured a prayer, excitedly raised the pickaxe, and swung it hard against the rock wall.
No reaction...
Chu Nan raised the pickaxe for the second, third, and fourth times and continued to swing it hard.
Until... the system prompts: "Ding! You dug a piece of black iron ore, and your proficiency increases by 1 point."
Yes! Chu Nan shouted excitedly, and then he continued digging several times, and found another piece of black iron ore. He started to dance excitedly, this is a mine! No, maybe this was not a mine originally.
But the rock walls on both sides contain minerals.
The most important thing is that only Chu Nan knows about this mine! Although Xiaodao also knows about the existence of this tunnel, he does not know the gold content of this tunnel. As long as Chu Nan does not mention it, he will probably not do it again in the future.
Came here.
Chu Nan dug around again and found that the ore content was quite rich, almost the same as the mine in Xuegu Village. However, the mine in Xuegu Village was much larger than this. It was just a straight line here, but the mine in Xuegu Village was shared by everyone.
Anyone can come in and dig, but only Chu Nan himself knows about this mine, and its meaning is completely different.
"Calm down! Calm down!" Chu Nan pressed his hands on his temples to temporarily calm down his excitement. Since he is the only one who knows about this mine, how can he keep this secret secret and make it his own exclusive mine?
?
Volcano Port may be very deserted during this time, but there will always be people coming or passing by, and you may find the pit on the small slope behind the town.
"Bury that pit?" Chu Nan thought in his mind, but if he buried it, it would be inconvenient for him to go down by himself. However, he could also enter from the entrance inside the crater, and after entering that place, it would be the mine directly.
. But that place seems more necessary to block, because the volcano has been flattened in half, and some people will want to go up and have a look. They only need to look into the crater to see the entrance.
If you want to block it, you must first block the hole! But how to block it? The hole cannot be covered with just soil.
Chu Nan couldn't help but think that if the gunpowder barrel was still there, it would probably be able to blow up the entrance of the cave and block it with falling rocks.
By the way, Chu Nan thought, we can use explosive arrows instead. Although the power of a single shot is not enough, if there is enough quantity, it can still be done.
Just as he said, Chu Nan immediately started making a batch of explosive arrows, then quickly rushed to the entrance of the cave, wiped out all the magma demons, and began to shoot the explosive arrows at the rocks above the cave entrance one after another.
With a loud banging sound, a little bit of gravel powder fell from the top of the cave entrance, then a small piece and then a large piece fell, until the entire exit was tightly blocked by falling rocks.
.
When we returned to the earthen cave on the hill, it was almost impossible for people to climb up directly from the cave. But before Chu Nan came in, he went to the grocery store to buy a long rope and tied one end to it.
The tree trunks in the grove can be used for temporary climbing.
"Then how should we cover up this cave entrance?" Chu Nan wandered outside the pit and paced for a long time. After thinking about it, he couldn't come up with any good or reliable idea.
Right! At this time, Chu Nan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of the method of purchasing land. However, the prerequisite for this method to work is whether this land is included in the town territory of Volcano Port, and whether it is
Land that can be purchased and used for construction.
Although this small slope was not within the pirate's building distribution area at first, when it became the player's town map, this area was actually included in it, and this land was still available for purchase, which made Chu Nan secretly sigh.
I am lucky enough.
He first opened the land purchase column, then opened the mayor's authority, and found that as the mayor, he had no pricing power.
"Damn it, I'm the mayor of the town. Why can't I get a discount when buying land under my jurisdiction?"
The price of that small piece of land actually starts at 100 gold, and it is not delivered immediately. It will be announced in the town for one day. If no one bids, the purchase will be considered successful.
"Damn, I'm the mayor, I'm the mayor, why don't I get any benefits at all? You really think I'm a public servant of the people!" Chu Nan felt depressed. The system is set up like this, probably to prevent the mayor from doing anything.
Using power for personal gain.
Before successfully purchasing the land, Chu Nan could only choose to temporarily cover up the pit as much as possible to prevent others from discovering it.
Of course, apart from that, everything is not fine yet, because Chu Nan still has to try his best to ensure that no accidents occur on this volcanic island. If people from other guilds bring people to attack and take away the volcanic island, the volcanic island will be destroyed just now.
The 100 gold spent may have been wasted, and secondly, the secret of the mine will definitely be exposed. Of course, the chance of other guilds coming to attack specifically is not very high. After all, the volcanic island is too far away, and not even the concave and convex man despises it.
If you want it, let alone others?
Then, Chu Nan talked earnestly and tried his best to talk to the concave and convex man, and finally came up with 500 gold for the town's financial expenditure. Of course, 500 gold was definitely not enough. Hiring an NPC guard would cost 300.
It's gold, and this NPC guard does not participate in guild wars. Basically, it is used to prevent people passing by from coming in and causing trouble.
A day in the game could have passed quite quickly, but for Chu Nan, it was obviously not that easy. The days alone in the Volcano Port were boring. There was no leveling, and he could only run NPC errands.
To pass the time, one or two ships occasionally passed by and docked at Volcano Port for supplies. However, as soon as they entered the town, they were immediately deterred by the 17 (percent) bunker transaction tax.
After a day of hard work, Chu Nan's land was finally decided with certainty.
Of course, just buying the land is not enough, you also need to build a house on it to truly cover the hole.
The land purchased by players is basically used to build shops and sell things. The system will automatically design a set of buildings that match the local style based on the location of the shop. Of course, players can also customize it.
After Chu Nan paid 50 gold, he built the simplest and cheapest shop on the purchased land. After all, the purpose of this land was to cover up the mine below. There was no need to spend extra money.
Money goes to decoration.
After the construction was completed, Chu Nan closed the door tightly. At this time, the NPC guards he hired with the money from the concave and convex man came into play, because the mayor could designate the patrol area of the NPC guards, so
, he majestically moved the only NPC guard in the town to his shop in a remote corner. In line with the principle of the sanctity of private property, anyone who damages Chu Nan's shop or attempts to break in will be punished by the NPC.
The guards attack, so the safety of the hole in the house is further guaranteed.
When everything was in place, Chu Nan breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, then quickly opened the door, entered the house, and quickly closed the door.
A private mine! Chu Nanguang felt excited just thinking about it. He immediately went underground again into the tunnel below, ran to that section of the mine, and started digging.
As a mine that is closely connected to a volcano, the output of flame iron ore and black iron ore is very large. Chu Nan dug a backpack full of ore in just a short time.
Although it is very comfortable to mine in your own private mine, there is another difference between this place and the mine in Snow Valley Village, that is, there are no monsters, even if you just let Xiaohei out to level up, you can't do it.
.
Leveling and mining have become a pair of completely irreconcilable contradictions here. Chu Nan is both happy and entangled...
