At this time, the players are following Moros to find a place to fix the underground spider, tie it with a few iron chains, and use this poor underground spider as a sparring partner for the players. It has just been fixed. , the man who was mining over there howled, and now everyone's attention was attracted, and they headed over there with a crash, all wanting to see the excitement.
I saw a player with the word "hoeing" on his head. He was holding the mining pick in his hand and looking excitedly at the rock wall in front of him. There were several holes cut out behind the rock wall. The mouth revealed a light yellow halo.
It looked like sparkling gold, or a similar-looking metal.
"What the hell? Gold mine?"
"I don't know. I dug out this thing as soon as I dug the pickaxe." The player named Chuhe was not clear about the questions of other players, but he raised his mining pickaxe and dug out the mine. The pickaxe was almost broken in the middle. It was obviously smashed while digging out the light yellow metal. After showing his mining pickaxe, Hoehe said: "This thing is definitely worth money! I only smashed it twice. My mining pickaxe is broken! Did I mine something terrible?"
"It's possible. The density is so high, it might be something valuable!"
"Hurry up and call the city lord to identify whether this is a new prop in the game!"
The players were talking about the routine there. Sherlock had already walked over. The players got out of the way one after another. They all looked at Sherlock with expectant expressions. The player named Hoe also looked excited. He held up his mining pick as if waiting to claim credit, and Sherlock felt a pang of pain when he saw the broken and unusable mining pick. It only took ten magic stones to buy one!
Although it was distressing, Simba was already able to make a pickaxe, and he would just need to replace it when the time came. Sherlock decided to see what the player dug up first.
Sherlock first dismissed the players who had gathered around him and asked them to train those who should train and to continue working if they should work. Then he called Simba. Mineral identification should only be done by professionals. of. I saw Simba put down his work, first asked other players to clean up all the diamonds around this wall, and then he hammered hard here and there in front of this special-looking metal mine. After a hammering, he even leaned over and licked it with his tongue.
After appraising it for a long time, Simba said with certainty:
"This is gold concentrate! However, the purity is not very pure. It needs to be purified after being dug out. It is an excellent material for making weapons. However, if this ore is used to make weapons, it is really a waste. This kind of ore can guide magic. It has very good properties and is generally very suitable for making alchemy tables, magic props or portal bases."
"Can this be sold?" After listening to Simba's explanation, Sherlock immediately grasped the core of the problem.
"It can be sold, but the specific price depends on the purity and market demand. A piece of ore the size of a goblin can cost hundreds to thousands of magic stones. I don't know the specifics." Simba He is just a skilled blacksmith, but matters related to buying and selling and the market are not his strengths.
Sherlock nodded, but now the question came again, can this ore be mined? Look at the mining pick used for hoeing crops before. It was destroyed in two clicks. The density of this gold concentrate is obviously much higher than the hardness of diamond. Sherlock told Simba his problem, and Simba scratched it. He scratched his head and said:
"This diamond mining pickaxe will definitely not be able to collect this gold concentrate. If you want to mine it, you will need a mining pickaxe with higher-grade materials, but these are made of magic stone. I will write back to the store to inquire about the specific price."
"Okay, after consulting the price, without saying anything, give me ten pickaxes that can collect gold concentrate. For magic stones, I can use the mined gold concentrate to pay for it." Sherlock is now short of money. Money is all that matters. I originally thought that if I could dig the magic stone mine, it would relieve some of the pressure of tight financial resources. Unexpectedly, I didn’t find the magic stone mine. Instead, I dug up the gold concentrate, which is not bad at all. I feel that this gold concentrate is definitely not as profitable as digging directly into the magic stone mine, but it is better than nothing.
As for keeping these materials and making alchemy tables, magic props, portal bases, etc. in the future, forget it. Sherlock has no need for this yet. He doesn't even have food and clothing in his dungeon. The way to ensure it is to have more magic stones in hand, and buy whatever you need in the future rather than holding on to the resources. Sherlock is not the kind who doesn't know how to adapt.
It’s a new era. Even if it’s an underground world, it doesn’t mean just holding a dungeon and developing it alone. It means more communication and more business with each other, and it’s a market economy! The merchant group has all banded together to create a neutral dungeon. As a demon lord in the new era, Sherlock cannot be left behind and still follow the practices of the older generation.
After hearing Sherlock's words, Simba quickly went to write a letter. Letters in the dungeon were all delivered using magic. After Simba finished writing the letter, he took out a handful of magic powder for delivering letters. After lighting it, throw the whole letter over. The flames will devour the letter and disappear.
The letter has already been sent to the "No Most Expensive" blacksmith shop in Winterfell. As for when there will be news, we can only wait.
Players are still curious about this newly discovered mineral vein, but there is no way to mine it because they don’t have the right tools. Although some people plan to try to mine it with their mining picks, they are quickly blocked by the core of the dungeon. "Blue" noticed it and stopped it in time.
As for the player who discovered the gold concentrate vein, Sherlock generously gave him a set of armor and a short sword, as well as a silver coin and a thousand reputation rewards.
It seems to be very rich, but in fact it is not valuable at all to Sherlock. What do you think this armored dagger is? Copper coins are even more like dirt. As for reputation, this kind of verbal honor is simply nothing in the underground world. What a joke! In a normal dungeon, if someone discovers this kind of mineral vein, they will definitely give a lot of rewards, mostly magic stones.
Sherlock once again felt the benefits of players in another world. Look, how much money you save!
Although Sherlock didn't make any sacrifices, in the eyes of the players, such a reward is simply sensational. This is undoubtedly the biggest reward at the current position. Before that, ten people followed Moros to catch the underground spider. , it was only a reward of 500 reputation, 100 copper coins, a set of armor and a dagger. Now the player Chee He discovered a new vein of minerals while mining, and he actually received twice their reward. What is this? It's like opening a treasure chest!
The players' eyes suddenly became hot when they looked at the walls. In their eyes, these walls were no longer mines to be dug mechanically to complete tasks, but treasure chests one by one! I'm sure I'll be the next one to dig out a new mineral vein with just one pickaxe, and get such a rich reward!
But it’s not like they can dig whenever they want. Mining tasks are randomly assigned, and it’s up to the individual whether they receive it or not.
After digging out the veins of gold concentrate, the previously planned dungeon would be slightly higher. Sherlock went back to the core hall of the dungeon and completed the modifications not long after. Simba also came outside with a letter. Originally, it was "There is no most expensive one." The blacksmith shop has already replied.
"Dear Lord Sherlock, we have received the letter you sent Simba. We are sincerely congratulations and happy that you have mined the gold concentrate vein. We are also grateful for your request for us to bring ten development gold veins. Naturally, we will not refuse your request for the mineral pickaxe. After all, you are our most loyal customer! Because the material of the mineral pickaxe is special and cannot pass through the portal, we decided to give these mineral pickaxes to merchants passing by your dungeon. The team will bring it to you. The unit price of each mining pick is fifty magic stones, and the total is five hundred magic stones. Please give it directly to the leader of the caravan. The caravan is also interested in cooperating with you through the gold concentrate veins. , please ask Lord Sherlock to have a detailed discussion with the caravan leader at that time. I wish you a happy life and a successful career - 'There is no most expensive' from all the staff of the blacksmith shop!"
After reading the letter from the "No Most Expensive" blacksmith shop, Sherlock had an idea in his mind. Although it was a pity that there was no way to mine gold concentrate immediately, it was not impossible to wait for more than ten days. The most important thing was to see From the content of the letter, it seems that the caravan is still interested in cooperating with its own gold concentrate veins. Sherlock can save himself from transporting these gold concentrates to Winterfell to sell them for money. He can just wait to discuss cooperation with the caravan. .
While Sherlock was waiting for the caravan to come to the dungeon, the players were not idle either. In addition to completing tasks and working hard to build the dungeon every day, they used all the money they earned to train their combat skills. , accepted the rigorous training of Moros. As for armors and weapons, most players already had one after so many days of hard work. And after Simba finished making most of the tools, he also began to forge shields. , the price is the same as the armor weapon, six hundred copper coins. Sherlock also quickly asked the dungeon core "Blue" to complete a brief explanation of the shield.
[Diamond Shield (white ordinary equipment)]
[Defense: 8]
[Weight: 10]
[Durability: 10]
[Forger: Blacksmith Simba]
[Requires reputation level: Dungeon·Eternal Kingdom reputation level one (the lowest level)]
[The most common standard shield in the underground city and the eternal kingdom, made of diamond refining and forged]
When players saw new weapons appearing, those who had money bought them as soon as possible. Those who had no money naturally went to work honestly, and Moros served as a skill trainer in the dungeon. After that, the players' skills began to improve by leaps and bounds, and they could even fight back and forth against the tied underground spiders. However, Sherlock had more things to do, and they were often injured during training. , or simply being killed by underground spiders. Sherlock would run out from time to time to treat them, or repair the corpses to resurrect them. Sherlock could no longer visit the official forum management website!
Speaking of the official website, after Sherlock opened the official website and started the first test, within half a month, the number of registrations for the official website exceeded 100,000, and it showed an almost linear upward trend every day.
Although there are only a hundred players in the first test, it does not affect the enthusiasm of other players in the different world to discuss the game. There are tens of thousands of these players, waiting for some revelations from the first test players in the forum every day. When test players appeared, they immediately gathered around to watch wildly, followed by a great master shouting in a very intimate manner.
At present, the most concerned issues in the forum are: one is how to trigger the subsequent plot of the mysterious NC goblin; the other is how the newly discovered gold mineral vein will develop in the future; and the third is the question that everyone is most curious about and concerned about. , the opening up of spider lair!
The map of Spider Lair has been open for about ten days, but in this week, the players went from being wiped out in the first five-person land reclamation, to being defeated in the second 30-person land reclamation, to the skills training of novices. Master Moros appeared, and after everyone had trained for several days and gathered together a complete three-piece set including armor, weapons, and shields, nearly twenty confident players began their first game against the spider lair. Three attempts to open up wasteland!
