The City Guard Office has limited manpower. For the zero-level secret realm "Kobold Mine", which is a relatively low-risk secret realm, it will not send people to garrison it, but will be open to all secret realm apostles.
This also creates a phenomenon, similar to how big guilds occupy resources in the game. If a big guild is strong, it will monopolize a resource. If the strength is average, it can only collect tolls and enter the cave like the Black Tiger Gang.
fees and the like.
There are hundreds of gangs in Songtao City, large and small, and the City Defense Office has detailed records. The Black Tiger Gang is naturally among them. According to the size of the gang, the Black Tiger Gang ranks outside the 80th place. However, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, Zhao Heihu,
His personal strength is strong and he can rank at least in the top thirty among all gang masters.
"I don't want the guide to clear the level, can you get me a pickaxe?" Xu Feng pointed to the stall selling pickaxes next to the cave and asked with a smile.
Xu Feng noticed that the clothes on the pickaxe seller were exactly the same as the man in front of him. They were all black long-sleeved T-shirts with a tiger head embroidered in red thread on the chest.
"Hey, then you're going to be at a loss. Others have to sell this customs clearance guide for at least 800, and the pickaxe for 300 at most!" the man in front of him reminded.
"It doesn't matter, I'll treat the rest as a favor for you!" Xu Feng said with a smile, took out a thousand banknotes from his backpack and handed it to the man.
The man smiled happily, took the money, counted it carefully twice, and then took out one of the coins and looked at the sun for a long time before putting it in his pocket.
"Thank you very much, boss!" The man cupped his hands towards Xu Feng and led him towards the entrance of the cave.
"Heizi, this is my brother. Please pick out a sturdier pickaxe with better quality. Don't break it after just two digs. Then I have to tell my sister-in-law that last month you went to Hong Kong and ordered it all at once.
Two..."
"Shut up!" the middle-aged man selling the pickaxe scolded fiercely: "Be careful, I will tear your stinky mouth apart!"
"Fruit plate!" The man laughed and said, "You ordered two fruit plates at once. It's really wasteful. Like me, I just order one every time I go, as long as it's enough!"
"Shut up!" The man selling the pickaxe seemed a little angry. He grabbed a pickaxe next to him and handed it over: "Here you go, a strong pickaxe with very good quality!"
…
Xu Feng took the pickaxe and glanced at it. It was obviously produced on a factory assembly line. The production number was even stamped on the handle without being crossed out.
The market price of such a pickaxe in Songtao City will not exceed fifty yuan.
Xu Feng fixed the pickaxe on his backpack and walked toward the cave.
There are two apostles standing at the entrance of the cave, and they are both first-level apostles. Judging from the armor and weapons on their bodies, they should be warriors, swordsmen or other close combat professions.
Seeing Xu Feng approaching, the two of them did not stop him. It was obvious that both of them had seen the scene just now. Since they had paid the entrance fee, they would not make trouble.
Xu Feng sighed in his heart, this kind of mining domination thing would only be done by gangs in the early stage, and this phenomenon would rarely be seen in the middle and later stages.
After all, the growth of the apostle of the secret realm is very fast. Even though he may be just a low-level apostle now, once he gets an opportunity and encounters an adventure in the future, he will immediately soar into the sky.
As the saying goes, golden scales are just things in the pond. They turn into dragons when encountering storms!
Regardless of how depressed I am now, maybe when the next secret realm comes out, things will be different immediately.
In the past life, there was a big gang that occupied a secret realm with hundreds of spiritual orchards. But in this secret realm, there was a place where planters completed their professional tasks. As a result, because of the occupation of this big gang, many people had the life of planters.
The professional apostles were unable to complete their professional tasks and complained a lot.
Finally, one day, overnight, this huge gang with more than a thousand apostles was wiped out. Every member of the gang was integrated into a tree, and died extremely miserably.
After this incident, all the big gangs that occupied the secret realm of resources restrained themselves a lot, fearing that they would offend a similar ruthless person and have their gangs removed.
As for purchasing a pickaxe, it is also based on past experience. In this kind of resource-based secret realm, the main mission is likely to be related to mineral deposits. If mining is required, this pickaxe will come in handy. Even if it cannot be used, it can still be used.
Sold to other apostles in the secret realm.
You know, even if the secret realm apostle does not have a life occupation like "miner", this kind of resource secret realm can still dig out ore.
If you dig here for a day, you will definitely earn more than the so-called white-collar workers in the city. If you are lucky and dig out a high-quality ore, or a special ore, it will be no different from winning the lottery, and you can easily earn tens of thousands.
Get the block.
Judging from Xu Feng's experience, this kind of tool will not be sold in the secret realm. Experienced "miners" will prepare a few more tools when entering the secret realm. After all, you can only stay for twelve hours once you enter the secret realm, and you will exit midway.
, the remaining time is forfeited, there will be a cooling time for the secret realm after coming out, and you cannot re-enter for at least three days.
The higher the level of the secret realm, the longer the cooling time. Above the third-level secret realm, the cooling time is generally at least one month. However, as the number of secret realms increases, the cooling time of the secret realm loses its meaning.
Xu Feng stepped towards the entrance of the secret realm. Just as he was about to enter the secret realm, he was stopped by a familiar voice behind him.
"Brother, hey, Brother Xu Feng, don't rush in!"
Xu Feng turned around and saw that it was Zhao Ruhai. The future blacksmithing master waved and shouted to Xu Feng anxiously, but was unable to get close to the cave due to the obstruction of two first-level secret realm apostles.
At this time, Zhao Ruhai was dressed like a miner with a gray face and looked as if he had just come out of the mine.
"Master Zhao, why are you here?" Xu Feng turned around and asked.
"Hey, I have a small matter, I want my brother to help me!" Zhao Ruhai saw Xu Feng turn around, with a look of relief on his face, and waved Xu Feng aside.
"Brother Xu, I really want to ask you for a favor this time!" Zhao Ruhai said eagerly: "I just encountered a professional mission inside, and just found the burial place of the mission items, and was teleported out because the time was up, and entered again
It will take three days, but the mission item has not yet been excavated, and the mission time limit is only twenty-four hours..."
Xu Feng sighed in his heart, this Zhao Ruhai is simply a child of luck, he can encounter professional tasks no matter how hard he digs a mine.
"What is it, where exactly is it, and what are its coordinates?" Xu Feng asked softly.
This kind of professional task is generally not too difficult. The most difficult thing is to find the coordinate location. After all, the mine is connected in all directions like a maze. It is still difficult to find the specific location with just one coordinate.
"Thank you, brother!" Zhao Ruhai said happily: "The mission item is a backpack, and there is a book in it called "Pandaria Stacking Forging Technique". The location is here..."
As he spoke, Zhao Ruhai drew a simple map on the ground and told Xu Feng the specific coordinates.
"Brother, please, as long as you can help me bring this mission item out, I will definitely thank you!" Zhao Ruhai held Xu Feng's hands tightly and said with gratitude on his face.
"Okay, no problem!" Xu Feng kept the location in mind and replied casually.
In Zhao Ruhai's expectant eyes, Xu Feng walked into the secret realm gate. The moment after entering the gate, a picture suddenly flashed through Xu Feng's mind. It was Zhao Ruhai in his previous life, telling a regretful story in a talk column.
An unfinished task.
"The stacking forging technique has also appeared in history, but it has been lost for a long time. I once had the opportunity to master this lost technique, but unfortunately..."
