"Something weird?" Zhao Xu couldn't help raising the decibel level and looked at Ted, the person in charge of the mining area in front of him.
Because the composition of the entire silver mining area is complex, many mines are not completely owned by one person like the No. 36 mine owned by Zhao Xu.
Many big families may be behind the scenes to control many mines, and players currently only have access to a few of them.
More of them are involved in the industrial chain of ore processing, refining and sales, and their ore-related professional and technical skills have improved a lot.
The entire mining area seems to have less than 100 mine openings, but tracing the origins of each family, it can even include the entire alliance. This is the key to why Falling Star Town can affect the whole body with one move, and Winter City does not dare to act rashly on the spot.
Mr. Ted had a few encounters with Zhao Xu in his previous life.
However, he himself was also a good dancer. By the time Zhao Xu entered the town's management, he had already successfully climbed up to the higher city of Oru.
Now that the other party mentioned it to him, the mine owner, in front of everyone, he naturally had ulterior motives.
Zhao Xu was too lazy to use confusion and control spells in public to identify the person in charge of the mining area. Before the other party could speak, he waved his hands and said, "Then report it step by step according to the procedures."
Hearing this, the person in charge, Ted, looked slightly stiff. He looked at the suppressed smile of Mr. Zhongxia's companion and was a little puzzled.
Don’t you mean that players are all people with a warm heart
As long as they Arthur people mention that there is a problem, these players will rush forward with great enthusiasm
"Mr. Ted?"
Zhao Xu lightly raised his cane to indicate the direction of the cave entrance. If he hadn't been wearing a robe, he would have looked like a gentleman observing ancient etiquette.
The person in charge, Ted, suddenly came over. He quickly bowed his waist and raised his hand to signal Zhao Xu and the others to go to the No. 36 mine.
This made the players squatting at the entrance of the mine opposite with grass in their mouths amazed. "Xiao Liu, did you hear what they said with your lip reading and listening skills?"
The player named Xiaoliu was dressed in gray slag and carrying a pickaxe in his hand. He said: "The big-tailed wolf Ted mentioned the recent strange things in the mining area, but the new big brother didn't take it. , and asked him to report it step by step."
"Who is this person? This Ted is usually a bitch. He bows to the top management of Winter City and bosses us players around. His head is almost touching the ground."
At this time, another soldier carrying a pickaxe, who was also covered in dust from busy work, came over and said, "Let me go, haven't you always wanted to see me? This big guy is the number one in the server."
"I'll go, I vaguely heard this name just now, but I didn't dare to confirm it. I didn't expect it to be true." Xiao Liu also exclaimed immediately, "I heard that he was appointed to Falling Star Town, but I didn't expect it to come true. .”
"Yes, we players are getting more and more involved in this game." The soldier just said with emotion.
"Then why is he here? Shouldn't he be building a base for the Mage Association? I also want to make a living."
"The Mages Association has mine No. 48 here. When you go to work, why don't you check your own family first? You see there are so many people following him, they must be members of the association. There are quite a few beauties."
"But they're going in the wrong direction."
"Who knows." The soldier on the side also felt that it was a bit difficult to explain.
"Oh, others come to see the mine, but we are here to mine. Just like they are the owners of the commercial housing, and we are the construction team. It will make people laugh to death. We also play games, have fun and mine, and do hard work every day. ." Xiao Liu complained.
"Those financial backers have spent millions to get into this game. Do you think you're in trouble? This is life. If you don't accept it, you can go out and kill monsters in the wild with a dagger. That will make you money faster."
"Don't mention it, how can mining be safe when fighting monsters? Weapons and armor don't need to be worn out, and there is no need to wait for life to be healed. Recently, my professional (mining) skills have improved a lot." A player said in dissatisfaction.
"Come on, once I finish digging this week and save enough money to buy a two-handed giant sword, I'll go out and take risks. I'm almost exhausted from mining here every day." The soldier complained, "If those civilians can't defeat them, Monsters, mining is a last resort, how can we players be so cowardly with weapons."
This group of resting players immediately began to debate whether "mining" was worth it, and the volume gradually increased.
Zhao Xu, who was walking away, didn't hear it.
In fact, after time travel, there are far fewer people who dare to go out and take risks.
Being able to mine well and survive is the choice for most people.
This is the case in an adventurer's career. Before you reach a certain level, even fighting a goblin is an act of licking blood from the edge of a knife.
So after time travel, when all the resurrection stones disappeared and new accounts could no longer be registered like in the game, many people no longer had that kind of "courage".
On the other side, everyone followed the person in charge into the entrance of the mine and slowly walked down the trail next to the guide rail of the bucket truck.
Under the insufficient illumination of the lamp on the wall, everyone's figures became vaguely visible, and Zheng Xinyun was also close to Wang Ningwei.
Zhao Xu, on the other hand, was thinking about his next plan to develop production in Falling Star Town.
I also managed to change it from a single-player game to a farming production game.
So when Ted, the person in charge, mentioned "something strange" just now, he didn't pay any attention to it.
He is here to produce and manage power, not to work and perform tasks.
Because Arthur does not have a fixed-process "task", naturally the "task reward" is also a question mark.
There is an incident that breaks out in the forums every week when players brazenly kill their employers because they don't get paid. However, even if these players have reasons to sympathize, they will still be hunted down by the city guards, and they will be on the run from now on or their accounts will be terminated.
Therefore, before clarifying the risks and benefits of something, Zhao Xu would not rush to accept this "bug". If he solved it smoothly, he would definitely gain nothing.
Although "No. 36" in the mining area belongs to him and "No. 48" belongs to the Mages Association, there are hundreds of other mines that have nothing to do with him.
Zhao Xu had already realized from the "Temple of Ancient Elements" under the Falling Star Lake that "Falling Star Lake" was far from simple as he imagined. Naturally, he would not say anything casually about some weird things.
Unless it really can't be solved later, then he, the boss behind the scenes, needs to take action to contain the situation, and this is the responsibility that comes from his "lordship".
"Why are they all black mounds of dirt?"
Zheng Xinyun couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that everything in front of him was not as glittering as he had imagined.
In other words, the only one with silver light in the scene was Vivian who came down wearing full body armor.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but look back at Zheng Xinyun, "What did you imagine the mithril mine was like?"
"It's like digging out silver from the mines."
Zheng Xinyun's answer was very simple, her head was slightly tilted, and she looked confused.
"In fact, mining means digging out these native ores and then refining them to extract silver. The reason why these are mithril mines is that the content of mithril in them is much higher." Ted explained at this time.
As he said this, he greeted "Les", the person in charge of Mine No. 36 in front of him.
Compared with Ted's fair face, Rice, who was employed by Zhao Xu, was more of a burly man with stubble on his face and fat on his belly.
"Salute to you, Archbishop Sauss." When Rice saw the crowd, his first reaction was to pay tribute to Sauss who was present.
Apparently he was a devout believer in a magical goddess.
It is for this reason that he was assigned to manage this mine.
Archbishop Sosi also introduced the two of them to Zhao Xu on the spot.
When he first heard about Zhao Xu's identity as the mine owner, Rice just nodded silently.
But when he heard that Zhong Xia was also a believer in the goddess and was even shrouded in divine grace, Rice, a big man, became extremely enthusiastic towards Zhao Xu on the spot.
When Les took the lead, he introduced to everyone the specific details of his mine, as well as the monthly excavation status and manpower distribution.
Archbishop Suosi silently whispered beside Zhao Xu: "Lais's daughter was seriously ill because of the cold. She received the gift of the goddess and was treated by a priest to save her life. Therefore, their family are all devout believers of the goddess. .”
"Since I took over the parish, their family has taken one day every month to come to the church to help out. They are trustworthy people."
After Zhao Xu nodded to express his understanding, Sosi handed over the candidate to him, and at the same time he felt a little emotional.
For ordinary people, who have not received systematic education, they have no preconceived ideas.
I don’t think about what I want, what I will do, what kind of belief I want
It is very likely that the gods are kind to them, so they devote their faith to serve the gods. As for the teachings, they will naturally be understood and understood later.
This is even more true in the Northland, where the folk customs are quite strong.
At this time, Zhao Xu couldn't help but cast his eyes on Zheng Xinyun.
He has realized that instead of using wealth to win over people and impressing everyone with his immortal achievements, he can easily and quickly gather a force by relying on the line of "faith".
"It's amazing."
Les let this loud voice speak at this time, "As the players captured Falling Star Town and executed the mine owners who sold slave labor for mining, they actually confiscated part of their shares. As for the shares that previously belonged to Winter City and The mines of the great nobles of the Alliance will remain as they are.”
"So this mine, which was obtained from the original joint mine owners, has an average output. I don't know why after the Battle of Falling Star Lake, its mithril output suddenly increased sharply, surpassing all current mines. Top of the list.”
As he spoke, he also looked at Zhao Xu in surprise, as if he was sighing for this "Zhongxia" who was also a believer in the goddess.
"How much does it cost?" White Dragon Cyrus asked with concern, while Vivian looked at the hot-headed White Dragon, ready to attack at any time.
In this regard, Les looked at Zhongxia.
"There's nothing to hide." Zhao Xu said.
At this time, there were still many miners in the mine carrying crushed silver ore to the top, but when they passed by, they all pricked up their ears and listened to the exchanges here.
As if expecting shocking gossip.
"It used to be less than two thousand gold coins a month, but now it's almost fifty thousand gold coins a month. The production capacity may continue to increase in the future." Rice said in an incredible tone.
Everyone present, the players pushing the carts, couldn't help but take a breath, but when he thought about it, what he could get from mining in a day was only a little over five silver coins. When he thought about it, he almost lost his breath. Don't come.
As expected, the wealth that the bourgeoisie, who have mastered production resources, can earn is incomparable to those of them who work with their hands.
Zheng Xinyun was also a little surprised at this time, "How can you make money like this?"
Having secretly exchanged her pocket money for game gold coins to purchase equipment, she knew the current exchange price.
An income of 50,000 gold coins a month has even overwhelmed the lifelong efforts of countless people.
When Bailong heard this, his mouth watered, as if he had imagined how he could use these gold coins to build his own lair.
"So exaggerated?" Wang Ningwei couldn't help but be speechless.
"You are quite a prodigal." Suddenly, Antinoya communicated with Zhao Xu mentally and whispered with their backs to everyone.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Xu was surprised.
"This mine can produce so much mithril, you must have used your skills. Otherwise, with the merits of Falling Star Lake, Suosi would not be able to help you get this mine even if he is embarrassed."
"Well, I put a mithril crystal at the bottom. Is there any problem?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a little confused. He seemed to have noticed something.
"A good material for making an artifact has been exchanged by you for gold coins at your fingertips. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a bit of physical pain.
So that’s it, then Emerald Star Master Frank is already a Nine Ring Mage, why is he still so ignorant
But he calmed down immediately.
"Huh? Although it has been in there for a while, if you regret it, I can take it out for you." Antinoya suggested.
"never mind."
Zhao Xu shook his head.
"No one can guarantee that he will not die for a hundred years. You can't say who will come first in the accident or tomorrow. Let this mine stay."
Zhao Xu had a deep look. After passing Zheng Xinyun, he looked at the pit wall in front of him that was dug into pits. "Even if my family can't keep it, they can still exchange it for something with that contract. It's finally a piece of real estate." Bar."
