Chapter 40 Mining
Inside the prison.
Liao Bufan swallowed.
He looked at the three mercenaries behind Fang Heng, his eyes full of stars, and kept mumbling to himself.
“It’s amazing, it’s amazing...”
"I heard that these mercenaries are very expensive."
"Boss, what level are you buying?"
Fang Heng replied casually: "LV: 5."
“Awesome! A perfect match!”
Liao Bufan couldn’t help but admire and felt envious.
Is this what it feels like to be a boss? !
To command so many young men to charge with guns and watch the enemies flee...
This feels so damn good!
Fang Heng took a look at the loss.
More than fifty bullets were spent in less than a minute.
Mercenaries are easy to use, but they use a lot of resources.
This is still a high-level mercenary with LV:5.
The hit rate and damage of their firearms are relatively high, and they are relatively more bullet-saving. If they were replaced by low-level mercenaries, they would definitely consume more bullets.
Fang Heng really wanted to chase him out and completely kill the prisoner snake and his gang, but the risk was too great.
Prison Snake and others all have combat talents, so if they are pushed into a hurry, the mercenaries will inevitably be damaged.
He cannot afford the high pension.
"Great God!"
Lu Yu and Zhou Yi walked out of the sentry cabin in the prison.
“Oh, I’m back.”
Fang Heng waved his hand to greet them.
Zhou Yi has a special talent skill - earth vein exploration.
Because of this, Fangfang Hengcai chose to cooperate with them not long ago.
Through the 'Line Exploration' skill, Zhou Yi can roughly identify whether there are mineral deposits in an area.
The evaluation of this talent is A, which is a relatively rare skill.
In the early stages of the game, players do not have time to mine, so this skill is currently useless.
Mining will not begin until at least the mid-to-late game, when players have established a rudimentary shelter.
The amount of mineral resources in the apocalyptic world is limited. In the later period, game companies often fought fiercely for the mining of some ores.
Fang Heng has now completed the construction of the preliminary shelter. Next, if he wants to enhance the defense of the shelter, such as reinforcing the wooden house into steel and concrete, etc.
These require a large amount of ore materials.
Two days ago, Fang Heng asked Zhou Yi to help find mineral deposits as a pre-plan for the next step of strengthening the shelter.
But now, plans have changed.
Right now, he is in urgent need of doomsday points to buy equipment and go on adventures in the town.
As long as the mineral deposits are dug, Fang Hengda can dig out the minerals and sell them to the merchants in the doomsday camp, and quickly exchange for survival points through the ore collection tasks issued by the doomsday merchants.
Fang Heng noticed that Zhou Yi seemed worried and unhappy, thinking that they might be in trouble.
“What’s wrong? Are you in trouble?”
"Alas!"
Zhou Yi looked at the three senior mercenaries equipped with pistols behind Fang Heng and sighed.
“No.”
Fang Heng was confused and thought, no problem. Why did you sigh for such a long time?
You completed the task so quickly and made a lot of money, why are you still not happy?
Lu Yu said: "We have found a small mineral vein, but it is a bit far away. The location is in the coordinate system (38912, 29123). Great God, we can take you there at any time."
"Okay, I'll prepare and wait."
In the dark, Fang Heng felt that he had taken another small step towards his dream of 'evacuating the entire doomsday merchant camp'.
......
A certain trail close to the foot of the mountain.
A group of zombies wearing lumberjack clothes completely occupied the road and moved forward in a mighty manner.
Surrounded by zombies, Lu Yu and Zhou Yi were frightened.
Terrible!
They are all zombies!
If you are caught accidentally, you will be infected with the virus GG immediately.
At the same time, the two of them couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
It turns out that the great god’s talent skill is this!
Summon the zombie hordes!
They have never heard of similar talents and skills in the Lord God game.
100% S-level talent is gone!
"It's right ahead. Over there, less than a hundred meters away, is the location of the coal mine."
At a crossroads in front of the trail, Zhou Yi stopped.
“My character level is only level 3 now, so I can’t find the exact location. I guess I can dig out coal by digging along the mountain wall for a while.”
“My skills are relatively low. So we can only find tiny coal mines, and the reserves are not very high.”
Fang Heng looked in the direction pointed by Zhou Yi.
This is already the edge of the mountain forest area.
It took them nearly three hours to walk from the prison location.
It’s still a bit far.
“We have checked, and there are two huts less than 200 meters away from the side road, neither of which are occupied by players.”
“We have already cleaned up the huts when we came here before. , you can rest there tonight.”
Seeing that it was getting dark with only one and a half hours left, Zhou Yi began to think about spending the night tonight.
"If you keep vigil carefully, there shouldn't be a big problem."
Zhou Yi asked Fang Heng for his opinion.
“Master, what do you think?”
Fang Heng has no objection to Zhou Yi’s plan.
"I have no objection. I'll leave the repair of the residence to you. I'll go check out the mine."
"No problem. I'll reinforce the residence and clean up the zombies nearby to avoid having to worry about sleeping at night. Restless."
Zhou Yi was very careful when he left the prison at first. After all, staying away from his residence for the night would entail more risks
But now he is completely relaxed.
After all, the great god has so many zombie summons.
What else could go wrong?
The three of them split up.
“Coal mine.”
Fang Heng walked straight forward along the path, talking to himself.
Coal is a highly valuable resource in the game.
From the early to mid-game, players will use a large amount of iron blocks, including when building shelters and making tools.
The furnace required to make iron blocks consumes fuel twenty-four hours a day.
Ordinary wood is inefficient as a fuel.
Players will use coal as fuel.
In addition, players also need to use a lot of coal when making gunpowder in the middle and later stages.
Compared with other ore materials, the output of coal in the game is relatively high.
Fang Heng walked along the path to the rock wall, took out firewood, stones, firewood and some basic materials from his backpack, and threw them on the ground one by one.
Then, Fang Heng sat aside.
The zombie clones began to take action.
They wandered to the supplies, picked them up and started making stone mining picks.
[Tip: You have completed the production of the stone mining pickaxe, and your basic production experience value +1].
[Tip: You have completed the production of the stone mining pickaxe, and your basic production experience value +1].
[Hint: You have completed the stone ore pickaxe...].
[Tip: Your basic production level has been increased to the current upper limit, please increase your character level].
After the production was completed, the zombie clones each held a stone mining pickaxe, walked to the rock wall, and waved the mining pickaxe.
Soon, the sound of "dong-dong-dong" mining sounded in my ears.
[Tip: Your zombie clone destroyed a small part of the mountain, and you get a small stone*1].
[Tip: Your zombie clone destroyed a small part of the mountain, and you get small stones*5].
[Tip: Your zombie clone destroyed a small part of the mountain, you get small stones*2, you have learned the basic life skill - mining, your basic mining experience value +1].
[Tip: Your zombie clone will obtain small stones*3 and large stones*1 through mining, and your basic mining experience value will be +7].
[Tip: Your zombie clone obtains large rocks*1 through mining, and your basic mining experience value +3].
[Tip: Your zombie clone can dig through...]
Fang Heng took out a can of Coke from his backpack and opened the tab.
“Tons, tons, tons…”
After finishing a can of Coke, Fang Heng burped comfortably.
It’s really comfortable to watch people mining and working.
In Fang Heng's memory, this body used to do similar work in order to make money, and it was almost to death from exhaustion.
"Embarrassing, I should have bought some iron ore pickaxes when I went to the doomsday merchant camp, but now the mining efficiency is a bit slow..."
Fang Heng glanced at the setting sun. .
“It’s too late to rush back now, we can only wait until tomorrow.” (End of Chapter)
