The cave 3 kilometers southeast of Mao Cao Village was actually excavated recently, and the system will randomly give a refresh point near Novice Village from time to time.
This is a new mine. Of course, the mine appears near Maoguang Village, and the value of even the most valuable minerals is very limited.
It wasn't until Li Dalong actually visited the scene of the accident that he realized that Contra's 20 copper coins were not given away for free, but that he had planned to spend them quickly.
When the cableway minecart was carrying people underground, the entrance to the mine was blocked by a large group of players.
At first glance, it was obvious that this group of people belonged to the same group. They all seemed to be close-combat warriors, and almost all of them had black machetes in their hands.
Well, actually it was a scythe, but the cold brilliance on the black scythe's blade was very frightening.
At least it can shock the hearts and souls of level 1 and level 2 newcomers, but the people who are blocked are all level 1 and 2 newcomers who come to mine and make money.
Dozens of new recruits were blocked at the entrance, cursing and complaining, but they only dared to complain. No one dared to come forward and break through. After all, no one had the courage to challenge the black sickle with a newbie stick.
"What's going on?" Student Dalong was never afraid of trouble, so he stepped forward cunningly.
"Stop!" A burly soldier stopped him, "If you want to go in to look for minerals, you must first pay the customs fee."
"But I didn't see a toll booth here." Li Dalong could rely on the other party's logic anytime and anywhere.
The soldier ignored his strange aura, but explained in detail: "This well was discovered first by our 'Mountain Field Artillery Team'. Logically speaking, we can't dominate the mine, but the monster in this well is not something you newcomers can do."
We can cope with it, and we have mastered the refresh rules. We only refresh them once a day. We have cleared the monsters today. Everyone thinks, should we show off if someone comes in?"
It turns out that this is what happened. Li Dalong discovered that this group of people was not the unreasonable road bullies he imagined, and what the soldier said made some sense.
The soldier continued to explain: "Moreover, we guarantee that if the newcomers who enter maliciously seize territory and malicious PK lead to death, we will definitely adopt a zero-tolerance attitude towards it. We will create a fair competition and healthy development mining operating environment for all newcomers.
…”
Haha, what kind of sickle warrior are you playing? You should become an official instead. This official accent has actually spread to the deep mountains and old forests.
"How much is the customs clearance fee?" Li Dalong obviously agreed with his explanation.
There is nothing you can do about it. You have to bow your head under the low eaves. Who calls you a newcomer?
The soldier replied: "There are holes 1 to 5 here. Hole 1 has 5 copper coins per day, hole 2 has 8 copper coins per day, hole 3 has 12 copper coins, hole 4 has 15 coins, and hole 5 has 20 coins."
This is what other novices cannot tolerate. Even if you go to kill lizards in the desert, you will have to work hard for a whole day to collect the lizard skins and sell them to the NPC in the village. The maximum is only 1 copper coin. You will have to work hard for 5 days.
In exchange for admission tickets, you may not be guaranteed to find the mine at once once you enter. Isn’t this a loss-making business?
But Li Dalong doesn't think so. His thinking style has always been random guessing.
The first thing he thought of was the 20 copper coins that Contra gave to him. Contra didn't give away 10 or 30, but only gave 20. This shows that this group of people and this price, Brother Soul, is probably ten
You know it when you're eighty-nine years old.
The five holes have different prices, which proves that the value of the minerals contained in each cave is different. The people from the mountain field artillery team undoubtedly saw this when they discovered this mine.
As the saying goes, there is no good product when it is cheap, and good products are not cheap. The other newcomers were still complaining endlessly, but Li Dalong directly opened the transaction column: "Brother, I will pay and I will enter the No. 5 hole."
The soldier's attitude immediately changed: "Ah haha, brother, be happy, I wish you find the magic crystal. My name is Violent Blood Blade. If you have anything in there, call me at any time. I promise to help you solve all problems, eh? Brother, your name,
A hard cucumber? A magical tool for picking up girls..."
Li Dalong didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, he spread his big feet and ran towards the entrance of Cave No. 5.
The reason why he runs like a mad dog is because his time is much more valuable than other newcomers. The system will force him to log off after 3 hours. If he cannot dig out anything within these 3 hours, today’s 20
You just paid a copper coin in vain. If you still want to come in tomorrow, is it possible to use a wooden stick to open the way?
The mine is not deep, and there are oil lamps along the way to illuminate it. It seems that the mountain field artillery team or some other organization has made some money to bully the market.
After running to the deepest point, Li Dalong opened the tool box and observed it for a while, then took out various shovels and hammers and started working.
He didn't even notice what he was doing, but the person next to him was very shocked.
The fee for hole No. 5 is extremely high. It is not unusual for someone to enter the hole. However, if they come in with professional tools, it proves that they have a background.
It’s not unusual to have a background. The key is that this guy’s method of “doing it” is really scary. Li Dalong first took a hammer and smashed a pile of rocks in the corner. After breaking it open, he took out an engineer shovel and dug wildly. After digging, he started digging again.
He took out a mini drill and stabbed it randomly. The speed was not only amazing, but also the force was great. How could he look like a level 1 or 2 newcomer?
This is certainly due to Li Dalong's powerful innate attributes, but the most incisive point is that Li Dalong's various movements are like a hungry wolf knocking down a beautiful woman, tearing, biting, gnawing, grabbing, and killing... in short
The word "dry"!
Of course, if he messes around like this, he won't achieve anything good.
Within a few minutes, all the mental attributes were exhausted, and I could only sit on the ground panting like an old cow.
"This... this big brother." The man next to him asked cautiously, "My name is Tintinyu."
"Hello!" Classmate Dalong is still very kind to others, "What can I do?"
Only now did he realize that there were only two people on hole 5: himself and Tintinyu. The Tintinyu was dressed exactly like him. It seemed that he was no more than level 2 at most. Obviously, they were all revolutionary comrades at the same stage.
"Brother, what are you digging for in such a hurry? I wonder if I can help you?" This is a deliberate attempt to fawn over. Level 1 and 2 newcomers can bring professional tools and dig so vigorously, but there are not many high-level people behind them who are generous.
My friend, that is absolutely impossible.
In fact, he was completely wrong. Li Dalong was in a very difficult situation right now, as tired as a dead dog. The key was that he was impoverished and penniless.
Just imagine that anyone who can spend 20 copper coins to mine in Cave No. 5, except Li Dalong, is Tintin Fish. So, is Tintin Fish easy to get?
"Oh, I didn't dig anything, just dig whatever you want!" Li Dalong replied with a smile.
To Tintin Yu, this is why people don't want to reveal their purpose.
This is normal. After all, players are a little defensive when they first talk to each other. This is the most basic experience in traveling in the world. Whoever meets someone has nothing to do but tell the truth and tell the truth?
But Tintinyu secretly speculated, could this guy be here for the magic crystal?
It's okay that he didn't speculate, but something went wrong if he speculated.
After Li Dalong rested for about a few minutes, his mental value was restored to full, and he continued to turn on the mad dog mode while wielding various tools, working indiscriminately.
It didn't take more than a few minutes, but still nothing was found. Li Dalong could only sit on the ground and pant like a cow.
It's just that he sat down and fucked like this, and after doing it seventeen or eight times, suddenly, there was a crisp "ding" sound, the sound was extremely pleasant, and a dragon eye-sized ball rolled out of the mound.
It looks like a purple crystal.
"Huh?" Li Dalong picked it up and looked at it, "What is this?"
He said "Hey" there, and the tintin fish next to him had green eyes. Damn, this is so lucky, isn't it? I've been hanging around in this cave for almost three days, and all I've caught is crappy stuff. Damn it.
Fortunately, I only came here for an hour or two, and I actually got a piece of magic crystal.
His mentality is actually wrong. Although Li Dalong has some luck in it, the fundamental reason is that he is still a mad dog and is willing to work hard. The area where Li Dalong dug formed a 5-meter-deep pit. On the other hand, Tintin Fish
, stepping here and touching there, how is it possible to pick out good goods?
Magic crystal is the most basic but precious item in "The Ninth Continent" because the energy in it can be extracted and turned into a crystal source.
Crystal source is the foundation of all things. It can be injected into equipment to improve attributes, or it can be directly cast into equipment; it can be used as technological energy or magical energy; it can be fed to tame animals and inlaid with runes; it can even make various
Various gadgets, houses, vehicles, weapons, food, daily necessities, etc. In short, this gadget is the source of energy that maintains the world.
Of course, the same magic crystal is in the hands of different people, and the amount of crystal source extracted is different, which depends on the skill and level.
Even though Li Dalong is new to "The Ninth Continent", he actually knows about magic crystals, because this thing not only exists in the game, but is also the foundation of the real world.
In today's human world, all energy depends on magic crystals. Huge clusters of battleships are ramming headlessly across the universe, hoping to discover planets where magic crystals exist.
The federal government's design and conception of "The Ninth Continent" also drew on what it saw and heard about star battleships on major planets in the real world. To put it bluntly, the federal government also hopes that players will understand and obtain magic crystals in the game.
How difficult it is to let everyone know how to cherish energy and save energy.
At this moment, Tintin Fish is envious and jealous, but Mad Dog Dragon is lonely, empty and cold, because this is not what he wants.
"Brother...brother, how much is the grade?" Tintinyu began to test again. The base of the grade is the quality of the magic crystal. The higher the base, the better the quality, and the greater the energy produced, the purer it is.
"It said the grade is 12." Li Dalong didn't hide it from him this time. He had no idea about this base number.
But the indifferent expression on his face betrayed him deeply, and Tintin Yu could tell it completely. This guy came here to mine, and he definitely didn't come here to mine magic crystals. He might be digging for raw materials for synthesizing props, so he
I decided to take a gamble and plucked up the courage to ask: "Brother...brother, what do you want to dig? Maybe I have what you want..."
"Huh?" Li Dalong's curiosity suddenly aroused again.
