When I first came to the New World, it was not yet autumn.
In the blink of an eye, winter has already arrived.
The Thirty-eight Region is located in the region, close to the north, so the temperature drops quickly when winter comes, and frost and snow are common.
After all, there is no global warming crisis in the new world, and the seasons rotate very accurately.
…
The mining area mentioned by Nian Nian is located in a small mountain range 300 kilometers away to the northwest outside the domain wall.
The main mineral product is bornite. This bornite is not a handicraft, but a very flexible metal. It is one of the main materials of special alloys.
Next is Yaojin, which was born in bornite!
Compared with bronze, Yaojin is more precious and is one of the main materials for building spiritual weapons.
In addition, there is a rare elixir that is also a target of excavation.
This elixir is called "Hundred Alchemy Golden Jade Ginseng". It is a second-level elixir that was baptized by the aura of spotted copper, radiant gold, and earth veins. It has a powerful effect on tempering the body.
Because of its rarity, not many people know about "Hundred Alchemy Jade Ginseng".
Telling Tang Mubai not only showed Nian Nian's trust, but also included an element of honesty.
Since Tang Mubai is in charge of the mining area, he will definitely notice it once he discovers the "Hundred Alchemy Golden Jade Ginseng". By then, because there is no notification, it is easy for the two to become estranged.
For this reason, Nian Nian told Tang Mubai all the information about Spotted Copper, Yaojin, and Baialjin Jade Ginseng at the beginning, and joked that if Tang Mubai liked it, he could take Yaojin and Baialjin Jade Ginseng as he pleased.
Tang Mubai smiled and declined.
Be it Yao Jin or Bai Alchemy Jade Ginseng, they are of little use to him.
Although the former can be used to create spiritual weapons, Yao Jin and Gao Tieyi already have them at home.
The latter is body training, which is also full of temptation in the eyes of other warriors.
But to Tang Mubai, it didn't matter.
Especially since he originally wanted to return the favor, so how could he do so?
After the joke, the two agreed on a departure time, which was set in two days.
The reason for this is that two days later it is time to replenish food and drinking water in the mining area.
The mining area is three hundred kilometers away from the domain wall, so supplies are scheduled to be replenished once a month.
In the past, Nian Nian and her cousin would take turns to be in charge of the mining area every month, and would accompany the convoy as they set off.
Tang Mubai went there this time to take over the mining area from her cousin.
Nian Nian's cousin is named Han Chengzu, and he is also a half-step master level warrior.
In two days, Tang Mubai made arrangements for the mercenary group.
Especially Cang, originally Tang Mubai didn't intend to let him do anything, but in the end, this little kid actually started working as a waiter in the Miracle Restaurant.
Tang Mubai said it once and was taught a lesson, saying that he would do what he said and do what he said.
In this regard, Tang Mubai could only roll his eyes and let him do whatever he wanted.
Two days later, Tang Mubai drove a large truck and left Hongye City following the supply convoy sent by Nian Nian.
Instead of driving an off-road vehicle, he chose a large truck because Tang Mubai thought that it would be able to load fire-eater meat when he came back.
The meat of a hundred fire-eaters was placed in the system storage space and it did not deteriorate at all.
It all depends on how long you keep it, and how long it will last.
This was good news, so Tang Mubai thought of taking this opportunity to present it.
Although there is not enough room for a hundred fire-eaters in the truck at one time, it will be fine if you use it multiple times. It won't go bad anyway, so you can take it as you like.
The leader of the supply convoy was Nian Nian's confidant, a middle-aged woman named Tang Meiling. She was very good at talking, and she and Tang Mubai were from the same family. Along the way, the two had a good conversation through the intercom.
The mining area is located in the mountains, so there is no mobile phone signal, and walkie-talkies are used for communication.
With Tang Mubai following the car, if you encounter vicious beasts blocking or attacking you on the road, you can easily deal with them.
There is no need to get out of the car, just run "Star Reacher" and blast it through the air!
This made the driver and Tang Meiling marvel and express their emotions.
The strength of a grandmaster is stronger than that of a half-step master.
In previous years, when Han Chengzu followed the car, he had to get out of the car to kill him.
In most cases, if you leave the domain wall, you can avoid shooting, but it is best not to shoot.
The sound of gunshots can easily attract ferocious beasts and dinosaurs, so it is not easy for even a half-step master. In addition to the driver, the most important thing for the supply convoy is food and drinking water. Once it is destroyed and reassembled, the mining area may starve.
.
Although the mining area has also prepared backup food, basically as long as supplies are delivered within two months, it can be sustained.
However, mining areas are attacked more frequently and food is destroyed a lot.
Therefore, supplies must be replenished every month, just in case.
Tang Meiling and Nian Nian read it out before, but it was not so easy.
This time, I was responsible for helping Tang Mubai lead the way, and by the way, he introduced Tang Mubai to Han Chengzu and the manager of the mining area. It was a great pleasure along the way.
If it weren't for the fact that there is no such thing as tourism in the New World, she would even feel like she was traveling.
A journey of more than 300 kilometers would have taken at least two days in the past.
But with Tang Mubai's help, it only took one day to reach the location of the mining area, sitting at the foot of a barren mountain close to a cliff.
There are three peaks in the barren mountain. The foot of the mountain is surrounded by barbed wire. The entrance is closed by an iron gate. There are cameras on the gate and machine guns stand on both sides.
The supply convoy arrived at the gate a few minutes before nightfall completely fell.
When Tang Meiling opened the car window and called for the door to open, the person guarding the door was quite surprised.
He hurriedly opened the iron gate and let the convoy in.
When the supply convoy stopped in a specially opened open area.
The manager of the mining area and Han Chengzu had received the news and quickly came from halfway up the mountain or other places.
"Sister Tang, why are you here at this time?"
The manager of the mining area was an old man in his sixties or seventies. Although he was old, his energy and blood had not declined, and he was still in a hurry when he walked. He shouted to Tang Meiling from afar.
"Uncle Zhong, we are lucky this time. We have experts following us, so the driving speed is naturally fast. Like you, the next month will be very easy."
Tang Meiling explained with a smile.
"Master?"
Han Chengzu, who was well built, glanced around the parking lot, landed on Tang Mubai, and said in surprise, "Could this master you are talking about be this little brother?"
"If Sister Nian doesn't come this time, will this little brother be in charge instead?" The old man also looked confused.
The convoys who came from other places after receiving the news also looked strange.
Master?
Such a young master?
"That's Grandmaster Tang." Tang Meiling smiled and introduced them one by one to Tang Mubai, "Grandmaster Tang, this is the manager of the mining area, Huang Wenzhong, we all call him Uncle Zhong, this is the eldest sister's cousin, Han Chengzu, Han
Brother."
"In addition, this is the captain of the mining area guard team, Li Jintai. On his left and right are the team captains of the guard team, Wang Long, Liu Zhaoxi, and Yu Ken!"
After introducing the leaders of the mining area, Tang Meiling told Han Chengzu and others, "Uncle Zhong, although Grandmaster Tang is young, he is a Grandmaster with a high level..."
"What? He is the Grandmaster?"
"How is this possible? How old is he? He is already a grandmaster?"
"He's not a half-step master, is he? Judging from his appearance, he must be twenty years old?"
"It's impossible to be a half-step master, okay? You are so young. Is there such a master in the thirty-eight domains? If there was, it would have been a sensation, right?"
"..."
Before Tang Meiling could finish speaking, a group of guards exclaimed and whispered suspiciously.
Including Han Chengzu and Huang Wenzhong, everyone looked stunned.
Such a young master at the master level?
What a joke!
It's not that they are ignorant, it's actually not even a month since Tang Mubai became a master.
The supply to the mining area is once a month. After Han Chengzu left the territory last month, he did not go back. He did not know what happened in Hongye City.
Not to mention, he is from Canghe City. Unless something big happens in Hongye City and news reaches Canghe City, people will hear about it.
For example, in the previous competition in Hongye City, the one who won the junior and adult championships at the same time...
Um?
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Han Chengzu's mind, he looked at Tang Mubai in shock, and exclaimed, "Are you the talented young warrior and sharp archer of Hongye City, Tang Mubai?"
The people who were discussing were silent.
"That was my previous identity." Tang Meiling said with a smile, "Now Grandmaster Tang is a master master."
"But..." Han Chengzu wanted to ask.
"I know you don't believe it, but Grandmaster Tang is indeed a master."
After saying that, Tang Mubai glanced at Tang Mubai and asked, "Master Tang, can I speak?"
"It's okay, just say whatever you want." Tang Mubai smiled.
Tang Mubai actually didn't care that these people didn't believe in his strength.
However, if Tang Meiling wants to clarify and appease people's hearts, that's fine.
After all, we are outside the domain wall. If there are no experts on duty, not to mention the miners below, even these guards will not dare to stay in the mining area.
Han Chengzu and Nian Nian reached the realm of half-step master very early.
It is unbelievable that Tang Mubai, a young man under twenty, is a master.
"Grandmaster Tang was indeed a professional martial artist a month ago, but he got a blessing in disguise. When he was in danger and was being refined as a 'human elixir', by chance, he merged the energy of the 'human elixir' and the 'thousand-year ice milk'
, break the bottleneck immediately and become a master in one fell swoop!”
Tang Meiling said excitedly with a proud tone and demeanor.
Huang Wenzhong, Han Chengzu, Li Jintai and others were all dumbfounded.
Anti-integration "human elixir"?
How could we encounter such incredible luck? Why not be so exaggerated!
If you really combine the energy of "Human Pill" and "Millennium Ice Milk", you can indeed reach the sky in one step and become a master!
However, such a grandmaster is not much stronger.
Relying on pills to get up, and relying on yourself to practice step by step are completely different things.
Huang Wenzhong, Han Chengzu, Li Jintai and others, after the shock, did not change much on the surface, but in their hearts they did not care about Tang Mubai.
Of course, even the "Elixir Master" is not weak in strength, and sitting in the mining area is barely enough.
A group of people had different expressions. Tang Meiling saw it and said helplessly, "Don't forget that Grandmaster Tang broke through to Grandmaster not long ago, but he is very powerful. Do you know the 'Bad Sword Clan' in Hongye City? 'Bad Sword Clan'."
The supreme elder made trouble at Grandmaster Tang’s banquet, but was defeated by Grandmaster Tang with one move and was seriously injured and fell into coma!”
"Awesome!" After hearing this, Han Chengzu gave a thumbs up and said, "He is indeed a young genius. Grandmaster Tang's ability is really amazing!"
"Yes, as soon as you join the Grandmaster, you can defeat opponents of the same level. Grandmaster Tang is amazing." Huang Wenzhong agreed.
"What impresses me the most is that Grandmaster Tang is so young that he is a master. I think it won't be long before Grandmaster Tang can reach innate status!" Li Jintai complimented.
Others also spoke one after another and were full of admiration.
From the bottom of my heart——
[Blow! Keep blowing! In order to make us feel at ease, Tang Meiling has done enough! 】
[A grandmaster who relies on elixirs to achieve success can be compared to a half-step grandmaster. It’s nonsense to want to defeat a half-step innate master! The supreme elders of the ‘Ba Dao Sect’ are all half-step innate masters.
!Defeat with one move? Hehehe...]
[Young people are easily inflated, but I can understand it. If it were me, a grandmaster who was less than twenty years old, I would be inflated! 】
…
The voices of a group of people echoed in Tang Mubai's mind.
There was no excuse or deliberate display of strength. Tang Mubai just looked at Huang Wenzhong and others and cooperated with the compliments.
Tang Meiling explained a few more words, but seeing that everyone still had the attitude of "What you say is your business, and whether you want to listen to it or not is my business," she had no choice but to shut up and stop talking.
If you don’t believe it now, you will know it then!
After introducing each other, a group of people began to carry supplies.
The place where everyone lives is located halfway up the mountain, and the house is a stone house.
It is one story high and has a rough style, with rocks piled on top for cover.
Unlike official mining areas, those who mine are criminals.
In Nian Nian, the bornite mine discovered by Han Chengzu was mined by ordinary people.
These workers mainly come from the slums. They dare to come out only with their heads on their waists, and they are paid real hard money. Only when their annual salary is high enough will they come to the mining area.
At 30,000 federal dollars a month, one month of work is equivalent to one year of work in the city.
The salary of the escort is higher. Without high salary, no one would stay outside the domain wall, in the mountains more than 300 kilometers away from the city, for several months.
The total number of mining workers is more than 200, and the escort team, excluding the captain and squad leader, has 90 people.
These people were divided into three groups, led by three team captains, and patrolled day and night.
Tang Mubai took a look and found that the guards were basically professional warriors, with the lowest level being professional level three. The three team captains were all professional level, and the captain and Li Jintai were master level.
As a professional martial artist who also went out to work as a guard, money was secondary, and elixirs and martial arts were the main ones. But the other benefits were given separately by Nian Nian and Han Chengzu.
On the first night in the mining area, Tang Mubai didn't show much performance.
Early the next morning, Han Chengzu and Tang Meiling returned with the convoy with the newly dug copper.
Tang Mubai just came out on the mountain and visited all the places.
By the way, I also recognized everyone clearly and took note of everyone's breath.
Although most people don't care about Tang Mubai in their hearts.
But on the surface, everyone is doing well.
When seeing Tang Mubai, he would also say hello.
Tang Mubai responded calmly.
On the first day in the mining area, nothing happened.
The second day, the third day, the fourth day...
For a whole week, there was no harassment or attack of inhuman life.
It wasn't until the tenth day that a group of wild boar-like, rock-skinned beasts finally appeared...
