Chapter 120 Maid Clam
After hearing instructor Shahu introduce the maid clam, Gothe realized that he could use [Detection Magic+] to take a shortcut.
And this is not a foul.
During the enrollment mission, you are allowed to use the spells you have mastered.
It’s just that there are too few and almost none of the 0-level spells that are helpful for mining and clam harvesting, so everyone can only bite the bullet and endure the hardship.
But Gaode is different.
He only needs to practice diving well, and then he can complete the enrollment task extremely quickly with the special ability of [Detection Magic+].
I dare not say anything else, but at least it will be much faster than mining.
Gaode glanced back and forth at the bottom of the river.
Until he began to feel more and more tightness in his chest.
This is a sign that the breath you are holding is about to be used up.
He didn’t dare to go too far and was ready to float.
But at the moment when he shook his legs, a rather shining magical light suddenly flashed in the corner of Gothe's eye.
"Is it the maid clam?" Gao De was not sure.
But he can no longer hold on anymore and cannot verify it directly.
Gothe was not in a hurry and continued to float up, putting his head out of the water and taking two big breaths.
After catching his breath, he had time to glance at the shore.
I suddenly discovered that at some point, the other five people who entered the mine came out of the mine and were resting on the river beach. They were looking at Gaode who had just emerged with a strange look. .
Some are sarcastic, some are puzzled, and some are disdainful
The emotions in everyone's eyes are different.
"Have you collected the maid clams?" Luca, who was resting, couldn't help shouting and asked.
“Not yet.” Gao De told the truth.
“It’s been all morning, we have all dug out a basketful of water gold ore, and you have found nothing yet, and you are even learning to dive.”
“How long will it take you to complete the task if this continues? , Why don’t you give up quickly?” Kaplan couldn’t help but interjected.
Just now, Luca has publicized Gaode's "great achievements".
Everyone knows that Gao De, who wants to follow the "clam harvesting stream", even learned to dive now.
This is ridiculous!
"It's okay, maybe I'll get something on my next trip." Gothe laughed and said seriously.
After speaking, Gothe, who had regained his breath, made another fierce move and plunged into the water.
Seeing Gaode disappear on the river again, Kaplan, who started to persuade Gaode to "return to the right path", was stunned for a few seconds, and finally gave a comment: "Stupid!"
Jelika's eyes also fell on the river, and her brows furrowed unconsciously.
When Gaode appeared just now, she was more filled with doubts than the negative emotions in other people's eyes.
And there are more and more doubts.
The doubts that had arisen since seeing Gothe in the freshmen queue in the morning had reached their peak at this time.
"Work, work, he is wasting time here, I will not imitate him!" Luca, who was the first to leave the mine, stood up, clapped his hands, and put the basket back on his back.
The hydrogold ore is not just dug out, it has to be transported to the top of the cliff to complete the task.
With nearly thirty kilograms of hydrogold ore on his back, the already steep mountain road suddenly became more bumpy and tortuous.
After only climbing a dozen steps, a layer of sweat appeared on Luka's forehead again.
This compulsory admission task, in addition to allowing the mage apprentices who want to enter the Seris Magic Academy to learn to endure hardships and hone their perseverance, another function is that in the process, it can also train the new students. physique.
The task of handing over 3,000 kilograms of water gold ore is over. Even people with poor physical fitness will become stronger.
Luka gritted his teeth and persisted.
Even if he disagreed with this task in his heart and felt it was meaningless, after hearing that the record holder for the admission task was the former dean "Gavin Hogg", he understood that the admission task was absolutely worthless. Can't take it off.
——Even the dean of the college has sweated under the coolie cliff, so what qualifications does he have to refuse?
Luca hobbled forward with a backpack on his back. After taking a few steps, he would stop to rest for a while, and his expression slowly became ferocious.
Because he felt that the skin on his shoulder had been torn by the hemp rope of the backpack, and it was burning.
This person is not here to "learn gold plating", he is obviously here to be tortured!
Fortunately, this backpack is also made of special vines. Not to mention the 30 kilograms of load, even if it is doubled, it is not a problem.
“I wouldn’t have come if I had known it. I’m having such a hard time, and Jelica’s girly skin must be even worse.”
Luca, who had some regrets at first, thought of being a woman. Moreover, Jelika, who was younger than herself, also had to carry 3,000 kilograms of water-gold ore up the mountain without any preferential treatment. She suddenly no longer regretted it. It even feels like the water gold ore on my back is lighter.
After Luka picked up the water gold ore he dug and started to climb up the mountain, the remaining four people also followed suit.
Everyone has their own things to do, and there is no time to care about Gaode who is still "wasting" time underwater.
The four of them carried baskets on their backs and set foot on the mountain one after another.
Candice, who is the weakest, chooses to go last.
She knew that she was the thinnest, had the least strength, and walked the slowest, fearing that it would affect the efficiency of others climbing the cliff.
Among the five, she carried the least water gold ore on her back.
Others carried more or less twenty or thirty kilograms of hydrogold ore, and she only carried about fifteen kilograms.
But even so, when she was halfway up the steps of the cliff path, her feet suddenly weakened, and she was about to fall backwards.
On such a rugged and steep cliff path, you can imagine what will happen if you fall backwards.
Candice was so frightened that her whole face turned pale.
Fortunately, a force suddenly came from behind and supported her, preventing her from falling.
"Rest when you are tired. Don't be brave. Just complete the task slowly. If you fall, it will be tragic." Then a gentle voice came from behind her.
Candice turned her head.
She is already the last person walking.
The only one who could support her in this situation was Gothe, who had just left the water and climbed the cliff slowly.
Even though he had been diving for a whole morning, Gaode was very physically exhausted.
But after all, there is no need to carry heavy loads up the mountain.
So he quickly caught up with the large army that set off first, got behind Candice, and extended a helping hand in time when Candice was in danger.
"Thank you." Tears were about to fall, but Candice held them back.
"We'll be there soon, come on." Gao De comforted him again.
"I know," Candice whispered, but before she finished speaking, she suddenly froze, her eyes widened unconsciously, and she looked straight at Gothe's backpack.
The stone steps to climb the cliff are steep, so Jelika, who was walking in front of Gothe, turned back at this moment and was condescending, so she could clearly see the objects in Gothe's backpack.
Compared with the large and small pieces of hydrogold ore that everyone carries in their backpacks, Gaode’s backpack is much empty.
But it is not completely empty.
There is and only one thing.
mussel.
It was a clam with an unusually wide shell and an elegant streamlined shape.
It is about a foot long and almost as wide as it is long.
The surface of the clam shell is also covered with a layer of pearly luster as delicate as silk, as if it were condensed by moonlight.
The sides of the shell are slightly upturned, like a maid's lightly lifted skirt, elegant yet solemn.
The most peculiar thing is that there are fine and complex lines naturally growing on the shell surface.
Under the changes in light, these lines seem to vaguely see the subtle figure of the maid dancing lightly on the shell surface.
“Is this a maid clam?!” Candice asked in disbelief.
"It should be." Gothe replied.
“You, have you really collected maid clams?!” Candice exclaimed.
"Didn't I say that I might be able to gain something in my next trip?" Gao De said with a smile.
“You are so lucky.” Candice said with envy after she recovered.
Although there is only one clam weighing less than 5 kilograms in Gaode's backpack, it can be equivalent to 50 kilograms of hydrogold ore.
And she, who had worked so hard all morning, and even almost fell down the steps just now, could only harvest less than 15 kilograms of hydrogold ore.
Comparing people with each other is really infuriating.
It's a pity that not only can she not dive, she can't even swim. She is just a landlubber.
Otherwise, Candice really wants to imitate Gao De and "try her luck" in the water.
