Hualan likes quietness and she has never encountered monsters by herself since she started playing games. She entered this game just to get along with Ding Ding more often, so although she entered the game early, she is still at level 10. Ding Ding looked at the crowds of people around them and thought that they would not be able to squeeze out, so he took Hualan back to the teleportation array and sent her to a town called Seaside Town. From the name, it should be close to the sea.
As expected, the town is almost as good as the village. There are not many players coming and going in the town, only a few dozen people, which makes it look quite deserted.
"Since Lan is here, why don't we go see the sea?" After casually checking the surrounding environment and finding that the beach was not far away, Ding Ding thought of going to the beach for a walk and reconnecting with each other, as they hadn't seen each other for two months.
"Yeah," Hua Lan said without any objection. In fact, now they just want a quiet place to relive their time together.
Similar to reality, the sea is endless, with scattered seagulls flying in the distance and hunting, and the waves gently hitting the protrusions on the shore.
At this moment, Tintin was in a good mood. He hugged his sweetheart with one hand. They sat on the shore and hugged each other quietly. Silence was better than words. The scene was very warm. At this moment, Tintin did not think about how to dig a good mine or how to make a peerless magic weapon. Hualan also temporarily forgot that she had just reported to the university and there were many things waiting for her to do. She temporarily stayed away from them and put aside everything around her to enjoy this unforgettable moment.
The sunset is setting and the happy time always passes so quickly. It is almost dark in the blink of an eye. The village is a special existence. There is no distinction between day and night. When you leave the village and go to the big town, the sunset and sunrise begin to appear. After enjoying the beautiful sunset at the seaside:
"Ting Ding, I'm going to log off. I just reported to school today and I have a lot of things to deal with. School will start in a few days. From now on, I will only have time after 1 o'clock in the evening. I really hope that university will end soon so that we can be together every day." Hua Lan suddenly felt sad. Although they can meet every day in the future, it is not reality after all. Meeting in the game can only slightly alleviate the pain of missing each other. And she can't always watch the sunset and sunrise with Ding Ding every day. After all, Ding Ding needs to work hard to make his own career. Not only Ding Ding himself, but also the future life of the two of them and the orphanage. No matter what, Ding Ding will work hard and hard to reassure all those he cares about and who care about him.
"Well, as the saying goes, there is separation before there is reunion. Separation is the beginning of reunion but not the end. As long as our hearts are together, we can be together forever." Hualan's slight sadness brought Tintin infinite courage. Courage is a necessary condition for life. Only with courage can people live a better life.
"As long as we believe in each other, we can be together. Then I'll log off 88." After that, he logged off without waiting for Ding Ding to say goodbye.
"88!" Tintin shook his hand unconsciously, stood up and went back to the town to buy a map. This kind of map is just a map of the town where you are, and the range you can see is not very large.
After studying the map carefully, Tintin found that although this town has a relatively complete range of monsters around it, there is also a mine here. Tintin was originally thinking about whether to go to the first town that he was familiar with during the internal test, but now it seems that it is not necessary since there is a mine that can meet his needs. This time Tintin plans to stay in the mine for a few days and ran into the grocery store. An auntie was busy in it.
"Hello, auntie. Do you have any packages to sell?" Seeing that the auntie was busy, Ding Ding had to call out to her politely. He couldn't wait for her to finish her work.
"Oh, someone is buying something. Sorry, it's rare for someone to come to this place to buy something, so I just busy myself with my own business. What do you want to buy?"
"I want to buy a package. Do you have any?"
"Yes, yes, yes. What type and how much space do you want?" Shop owners are always happy to see people buying things.
"Could you please give me a detailed introduction?" I didn't know the type of space, so I had to ask first.
"Okay, there are three types of packages sold in our store. One is the belt type, which is the type that hangs on the waist. Another is the carry-on type, which is suitable for girls who like shopping. The other is the ring type, which is worn on the hand and has extra space and does not affect the wearing of the ring. As for the size of the space, the smallest one is 20 for 100 gold coins, the next largest one is 25 for 150 gold coins, and the 30 is 200 gold coins. The 35-grid space is 300 gold coins. Which one do you want to buy?"
"No way, it's so expensive. Each person can bring 5 packages. If you buy all of them, it will cost at least 400 gold coins. Can it be cheaper? Auntie, you see, I just came out of the Novice Village and I don't have much money. If I buy three, I will become a pauper." This price is shocking. If you go to the Imperial City to buy hundreds of spaces, you will be scared to death. There is no other way. Ding Ding can only use his trick again to pretend to be pitiful.
"Hehe, man, you must have participated in the internal beta test. During the internal beta test, you could bargain, but later it was changed and now you can't bargain. I can't help you with this. I have a task here. Among the items you get after completing the task, there is a ring with 500 space. Do you want to take it?"
"500 spaces? It's so big. What kind of mission is this? To get such an exaggerated reward, it's definitely not an ordinary mission. Auntie, can you introduce it to me?" Ding Ding was shocked again. When he heard the result of the reward, he knew that the mission must be difficult to complete. It might even be impossible to complete. Of course, he had to find out the situation first, otherwise he would not know how he died.
"That's right. I can tell you first that the final reward for this task is very generous. The task is like this. The first step is to go to the town's mine to dig 1,000 gold ore, 1,000 silver ore and a top-grade magic crystal. Remember, it's top-grade. When you complete the task, you will be rewarded with 2,000 experience points, which is enough for you to level up several levels now, and 100 personal reputations. By the way, you must bring enough 1,000 gold coins when you hand in the task to take on the next task. The ring you want is in the fifth task. This is all I can give you. Do you accept it?"
"Please wait a moment and let me think about it." After that, Ding Ding walked to the side and jumped onto a chair and sat down.
1000 gold and silver mines are not very difficult. I think the weapon in my hand should be finished before the endurance is consumed. Although gold and silver mines are harder to dig than iron mines, this is not a problem. It is just that this top-grade magic crystal is probably more difficult. It is estimated that it will take at least a month to dig it out. 1000 gold coins are not a problem. After all, it is not a large number. At most, I will have enough money to make a gold-level weapon of about level 15.
Looking at the rewards, the first step gives 20 experience points, and there are at least 4 more steps to go. And judging from the auntie's appearance, there should be no shortage of experience points for the next mission. As far as I know, reputation has a very important function, that is, all life skills need a certain reputation to upgrade after level 5, and some skill books also need reputation to learn. Although I can definitely get 20 experience points by killing monsters in a month, this is not the mission I want now. The benefits of accepting the mission are obvious. One is the reward for completing the mission, the other is that the mining skills are also upgraded and I can make money. The other is my second step plan to build a crystal shovel of at least level 5. This is the most important thing. It will be of great use to me in about 5 months in real time. I have been mining before because of this last step plan.
"Okay, I'll take it, but can you give me four packages on credit first? You know how huge the 1,000 blocks of gold and silver are!" Tintin, who had figured it out, accepted the task immediately.
"You can, but you can only buy on credit for one week. After the expiration date, a 30% tax will be added every day. After a month, all the items on your character will be confiscated and your debts will be demanded. In other words, no matter where you used your money, it will be fully recovered. Moreover, you cannot trade with the NPC on credit during the credit period. Are you sure you want to buy on credit?" It seems that although the credit function looks good, it is not suitable for all players. However, it can be considered for Ding Ding's current situation.
"Then let me ask you first if you buy all items that can be sold, such as the minerals I mined."
"Of course, all the items we purchased were collected by the system. They all went to the same place, so it didn't matter who collected them."
"Okay, I'll buy them on credit, but I'll buy two 35-unit ones and two 20-unit units." He couldn't buy them all so that he could have some in reserve for emergencies.
"Okay." The transaction was completed immediately. The credit system automatically recorded it and the player did not need to do anything.
After packing up the guys, we headed straight into the mine. Tintin was too lazy to kill monsters along the way as the mission was more important.
The mine in the town is only two stories higher than the one in the Novice Village. It is still as dark as the Novice Village. The dim light makes for a terrifying cave. There are not many players in this town, and even fewer people in this mine. It's good that Ding Ding took out his tools and started working at the entrance of the mine. He started digging and digging again.
Tintin first mined until his shovel could no longer hold up, then he returned to town to sell the ore. Now that the bag was much bigger, he could stay in the mine longer. After five days of going back and forth, Tintin paid off his debt. Then he mined a lot of gold and returned to town.
"Uncle, I want to rent a blacksmith space. How can I do that?" The blacksmith space in the town is different from the one in the novice village. It has several functions and some of the materials needed for forging are for sale, so Tintin asked this question.
"50 gold coins a day, how many days do you want to rent?" This uncle's appearance is similar to the ones in the Novice Village.
"Just rent it for one day, thank you!"
Ding Ding, who was well prepared, went straight into the space. This space was indeed much larger than the one in the Novice Village. There were three sets of equipment for players who came together to research or make equipment that required three people to work together. After taking a general look at the situation, the furnaces and other things were all the same. The anvil level was improved. Now it is the black iron anvil, which can increase the success rate of forging by 5% and increase the equipment attribute bonus by 1%. The hammer was also changed, but there is still no attribute requirement. It has become higher and requires 50 strength.
Tintin's shovel had been taken to the nursing home for repair just before it came back. Tintin didn't get repaired the last time, so now he has to make a new one.
Throw 4 gold ores into the furnace and clamp the anvil. Ding Ding first practiced to get used to the action, then threw all the gold ores with a quality higher than 20 in the bag into the furnace. It seems that today's luck is not very good. More than 100 pieces were thrown in, but only three gold nuggets of level 3 quality came out. Then all the silver ores of 20 quality or higher were thrown in. Fortunately, one level 4 and two level 3 pieces came out as consolation prizes. Ding Ding, who didn't intend to forge a good guy, didn't feel frustrated. Then the fusion forging was successful:
System prompt: Congratulations to the player for successfully making a third-order golden shovel. The experience increased by 1oo. The current level is level 3 and 5%.
System prompt: Congratulations to the player for successfully making a third-level golden shovel. Experience increased by 100. Current level 3 10%
System prompt: Congratulations to the player for successfully making a second-level golden shovel. Experience increased by 50. Current level 3 11%
This time, Ding Ding only spent three hours. He didn't plan to make any good items, so level 3 is pretty good.
Level 3 Gold Shovel: Gold Level Physical Attack: 35-60 Strength +10 Mining Degree +30%
Level 3 Gold Shovel: Gold Level Physical Attack: 33-50 Strength +8 Mining Degree +25%
Level 2 Gold Shovel: Iron Level Physical Attack: 20-40 Strength +5 Mining Degree +15%
Three shovels were made at once, and after half a day of mining, these three tools were created. Although they were worse than the original iron shovel, Tintin didn't care about it. Of course, it would be best if he could get a higher level, but he wouldn't force it if he couldn't.
The 50 gold coins I spent this time on were a waste. Tintin made all the remaining ores into shovels, threw them into 3 pieces of ores, clamped them together, put them on the black iron anvil and pounded them until they looked like shovels, and then threw them into the water to cool. After 8 hours, Tintin still destroyed all the remaining ores. Probably because I didn't make them carefully, the success rate was less than 60%. The rest of the time was wasted.
I put the extra stuff into the warehouse, cleaned up the packages and headed for the mine. Mine here I come!!!
