Chapter 6 Profiteers?
The mine is only a small hill among the mountains, but this hill is extremely tall and wide. The mine is full of bare stones and no grass grows. Compared with the lush mountains beside it, it looks extremely dazzling.
Seeing the exposed iron ore under his feet, Ling Xiangtian began his journey to miners.
“When…when…when…when….”
Every time you dig, the sound of a hoe and an ore colliding sounds, just like mining in reality. Similarly, if you want to obtain ore faster, you must mine according to common sense in life. The more exposed the ore, the easier it is to dig ore.
bite……
System: You have obtained a poor quality iron ore.
...
bite……
System: You have obtained a complete piece of iron ore.
...
Ling Xiangtian dug for two hours in a row and only dug 21 iron ore and 32 inferior iron ore. Two inferior iron ore can synthesize one iron ore.
"Huh..." Ling Xiangtian breathed a sigh of relief, "It shouldn't be that difficult to collect the mission at this time."
drop……
System: Your hunger level is lower than the normal value, and the overall attribute is reduced by 40%. Please eat as soon as possible. The person who lowers the hunger value to 0 will die.
In "The Second World", players will lose one level at a time of death. Unless they have the resurrection technique of the priest, they can reduce the experience of death and drop. Automatic resurrection means a forced drop of one level. Even if you are still 1% less experience, you will be upgraded to one level. Without the resurrection of the priest, it can only be considered unlucky, which is equivalent to dropping two levels.
Hearing the system's prompt, Ling Xiangtian's movements suddenly became slow, and he raised his hoe and smashed it weakly on the ore on the ground.
"bite……"
System: You dig an associated gold mine in the iron ore and sell it to the store to get one gold coin.
Seeing the message prompt, Ling Xiangtian's originally cold face showed a joyful smile.
The fact that you can dig a piece of gold in the game is no different from the special prize in real life. It can be said that you chose one out of 100 million, and Ling Xiangtian chose it.
1 gold coin = 100 silver coin = 10,000 copper coins. If you want to kill monsters and save enough 1 gold coin, it is extremely difficult in the novice village, because ordinary monsters will generally only drop 1 to 2 copper coins. At the beginning of the game, if you use it for real money, even 100,000 yuan Ling Xiangtian will not change it. At the beginning of the game, it was like an era where business opportunities were everywhere. Money can make money, and it gets bigger and bigger.
Suddenly, a short and fat warrior appeared in front of Ling Xiangtian.
"Hi... buddy, where did you get the mining mission?" the warrior asked with a familiarity.
"For the blacksmith, he will give you this task only if he actively asks to learn life skills. Otherwise, he will not give it if you don't say it." Ling Xiangtian explained. There is nothing to hide in this task. I believe that many people have received life skills tasks now.
"Brother, you are so wise. You must have been a game expert before. Damn, now the first and second-level monsters disappeared as soon as they were refreshed (short kills). You are still a master, and no one can steal the mining at all." The warrior said flatteringly.
"Everyone just didn't understand the game at first, and they were exploring slowly. I'm going back. If you want to do iron ore tasks, you can also mine here. The blacksmith needs 10 iron ore. You can first mine and then receive the task. I'll transfer this hoe to you. It's sold in the system store, without any attributes, and a handful of 10 copper coins."
"Really? Thank you so much, but... I just used the 100 copper coins given by the system to buy two bottles of primary recovery potion. Can you see if you can make a credit first? I will give you 20 copper coins when I have money." The warrior said awkwardly.
"The 20 copper coins are not enough. You can dig a few more iron ore. I will buy 2 copper coins for inferior iron ore. I will buy 4 copper coins for iron ore. I will want as much as you have. It is twice as high as the purchase price of the store." Ling Xiangtian said lightly.
"Thank you, thank you brother, my name is awesome, it's not a sin. Add a friend."
"Well, my name is the Silent Lamb."
Ling Xiangtian and Aobi added friends to each other, so they clicked on the transaction and traded the hoe to each other. At the same time, they reminded: "I have been digging for so long, and the result is that the more exposed ore is, the more iron ore can be dug, which is similar to mining in real life."
"Brother Master, you are so great." Most players know the secrets in the game. They must be so covered up. They will only circulate within friends, and will not tell a stranger, let alone the other party trades the hoe to themselves for free. Ling Xiangtian can selflessly reveal the game experience to himself, which shows how great the other party is.
"Haha, just help each other." In fact, Ling Xiangtian is not really selfless. His purpose is iron ore. The more iron ore he receives, the more beneficial it is to him.
Because as long as all the life skills tasks are completed, all his life skills levels can be upgraded to advanced level. The weapons made by advanced blacksmiths must be less than a little different. A first-level weapon requires 3 iron ore and 3 coal mines. The material cost is 24 copper coins. Even if it is the worst-property weapon, he can also sell 1 silver coin, and it is the kind that is in short supply. Because the first-level weapon without attribute bonus in the store is sold for 1 silver coin and 20 copper coins, and the NPC blacksmith makes the processing fee up to 1 silver coin. Generally, those who buy weapons in the store are game novices.
He was not afraid of others competing with him after learning blacksmith skills, because the success rate of apprentice blacksmiths making weapons is only 30%, and the items disappeared directly after failure, while the advanced blacksmiths made low-level weapons more than 95%. It is also very difficult to improve their life skills. It is impossible to get promoted to a junior blacksmith for at least one month.
"Okay, I'm leaving, it's quite easy to mine." Ling Xiangtian finished speaking, and ran directly towards the level 5 wind wolf, saying that it was running, but it was actually similar to walking, because his overall attributes dropped by 40%, and his running speed naturally dropped by 40%.
When the tall Fenglang saw Ling Xiangtian approaching, he immediately stretched out his sharp claws and grabbed Ling Xiangtian's body. The damage of -72 floated high on Ling Xiangtian's head. After the overall attribute was reduced by 40%, he only had 60 health points.
Ling Xiangtian emitted a white light and fell to the ground. After death, the interface will show two options of waiting for resurrection and returning to the city. Ling Xiangtian chose to return to the city without hesitation.
Looking at Ling Xiangtian's disappearing corpse, Awesome said in amazement: "Gao, it's really high. Why didn't I expect that I wouldn't do experience tasks first, but life skills tasks. I have no experience to drop. I don't run the map casually. Anyway, I have no experience to drop if I die."
Back at the novice village, Ling Xiangtian immediately bought 10 buns for 20 copper coins in the store. After eating two buns, his hunger level returned to full value.
Seeing the player who was still crowded and could not receive the task, Ling Xiangtian had no choice but to run to the entrance of the village and set up a street stall.
"The Second World" is more humane. Players can set up stalls, choose items purchased or sold, and set the price. The system will default to setting up a stall similar to a stall. As long as the player passes by, he can clearly see the things in the stalls without clicking one by one. During the transaction, the system will automatically deduct the money for the package and do not need to click to trade one by one.
"The purchase price of purchasing iron ore, coal mine, spider silk, poison sac, wolf skin, wolf teeth, and wolf claws are all 4 copper coins." Ling Xiangtian shouted a few times before waiting silently.
The players were silent for a while, and then they kept scolding.
"Damn it, it's only 4 copper coins to buy it. You have to know that what he bought is all task items. I won't sell it without 10 copper coins."
"That's right, only a fool will sell him things. If you have the ability to fight monsters by yourself, Damn, now more than a dozen people snatch one monster. I have worked so hard for so long to grab a few, and I can't sell it so cheaply, no matter what I say."
"Yes, I will never sell it without 10 copper coins."
...
There were constant screams, but there were still people coming to Ling Xiangtian’s stall.
A short and average-looking mage was about to step forward and sell the materials in his hand, but a handsome archer immediately walked out next to him. The archer reached out and stopped him: "Brother, you have to think clearly. You will definitely suffer a loss if you sell these items now."
The mage cried and said, "I've used all my money to buy red medicine and blue medicine. Now the hunger value is almost gone. If I don't sell the materials and exchange a few buns to replenish the hunger value, then the experience I finally got is gone like this. Why don't you give me a few copper coins?"
"Uh...why, the purchase price is 4 copper coins, I have one more copper coins than him, you can sell it to me." The archer said. Although he didn't know what the use of these materials was, someone would definitely have its own value. The first one to acquire the materials was often the unlucky businessman who was so dark inside. If he bought the 5 copper coins, he might even make a lot of money.
"Okay." The mage hesitated for a moment and replied that one more copper coin would be money, and no one could get along with the money.
The mage and the archer traded in front of Ling Xiangtian's stall. Ling Xiangtian turned a blind eye and still squatted on the ground thinking about the direction of the game.
After the first transaction, a soldier also came out and said to the archer: "Brother, why don't you take my materials too? I'll sell them to you. I don't have the money to repair weapons."
After the archer traded with the mage, he didn't have much copper coins on his body and looked at the warrior awkwardly: "I...I don't have much money."
The warrior was a little discouraged, but seeing that there were many players around him, he opened his throat and shouted: "Selling materials, one of 5 copper coins, which one is needed."
"I want it." Another archer said following the trend.
...
In this way, some people sold it, some people collected it, and Ling Xiangtian didn't receive any material. Finally, Ling Xiangtian looked at the player who robbed him of the materials, shook his head slightly, and whispered to himself: "It seems that it is too early to acquire the materials at this time, so let's take on a few more tasks."
The acquisition of 4 copper coins is actually the real price. After a while, even 3 copper coins will be sold, many players will sell the materials. The players who purchase materials by 5 copper coins will probably even want to die, because this material can only be exchanged for a little bit of experience from NPCs. If you sell it to the store, it will only be 2 copper coins. In the face of experience and copper coins, most of them will choose copper coins.
Ling Xiangtian returned to the novice village again. When he saw that the players who were taking the mission were still crowded, and it was already 6:30 in the evening. Seeing that there was nothing to do, Ling Xiangtian chose to go offline.
