Game Advent: Forge of Doom

the next day.

Li Mo saw a newly released commission on the guild's taskbar.

The guild has discovered a first-level crystal mine nearby and is recruiting E-level professionals to mine it.

When Li Mo saw it, he thought that this commission was really good, so he signed up directly.

But at the task registration office, Li Mo unexpectedly found that there were very few people coming. It was obviously a big courtyard, but those people were only staying in the corner.

Most of the E-classes had sad faces and were sitting listlessly on the ground, forming a great contrast with Li Mo.

The old man in charge of registration also looked unmotivated.

"Name, mission."

"Li Xiaobai, sign up for level one crystal mining."

The old man adjusted his glasses and glanced at Li Mo, a little surprised.

"Well, you're a stranger. Don't play tricks, kid. There's no use keeping crystals secretly. I know the thoughts of you people best."

"sure."

Seeing Li Mo's condition, the old man couldn't help but sigh.

I believe that before long, this young man will become like others, numbly eating and waiting to die, and the light in his eyes will be eaten away bit by bit.

"Oh...what a pity."

The old man looked at the few scattered people and felt a little sad.

I thought back then I was also a professor in a university and a well-spoken person in the academic world. Soon I would be able to enjoy a comfortable retirement life.

But when this game comes, all life plans are disrupted. Fortunately, I am a D-class, otherwise I would be reduced to the same situation as them.

Things are unpredictable, and no one knows which will come first, tomorrow or the accident.

The old man looked at the tree in the corner and it seemed a little different from before.

I didn't find anything for a while...

Li Mo took the note given by the old man and saw several people who signed up for this mission at the entrance of the guild.

The man in the lead is Zhang Yuge, a D-class soldier, and he has full command of this mission.

"New here, why haven't I seen you before?"

Zhang Yuge looked at Li Mo and recalled whether he had seen him before, but found nothing in the end.

"Yes, Captain."

When Zhang Yuge heard this, he thought, well, the young man is sensible. The captain's direct call made him happy.

Usually no one in the team pays attention to him at all. He is also the weakest among the D-class combatants and is very unpopular.

I finally got an opportunity to lead the team. I must make a comeback this time!

"Okay, let's set off."

Zhang Yuge raised his sword proudly and shouted slogans full of fighting spirit. However, the five people behind him did not respond at all. Only Li Mo stood next to him, waving his fist.

Zhang Yuge felt very embarrassed about this. He cleared his throat and asked the other five people to get their tools while he and Li Mo waited for them to come back.

But those five people faced unfair treatment, and even their eyes did not change.

Li Mo couldn't help but think of those people in the abandoned factory, as numb as zombies.

The slightly better thing is that the guild can obtain materials based on labor, at least with a minimum guarantee.

The guild's props are kept in the warehouse and can only be taken out every time you go on a mission. If you use the props privately, you will be punished.

"Young man, I think you are pretty good. The newcomer must not know how powerful our guild is."

"The captain is right, I don't know much about our guild."

Li Mo was shocked. He was trying to get some clues from Zhang Yuge's mouth, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yuge would be honest and tell him everything in one go.

You are such a good person, Li Mo silently sent a good person card to Zhang Yuge.

"Speaking of the guild, our three leaders are all C-level masters..."

"Are the three bosses all bald?"

"Um, no...you know how to pick up jokes."

"The big leader, Tang Yan, is a pyromancer, a fireball-throwing thief, and the second leader, Luo Yu, is a warrior. By the way, he is my idol. And the most mysterious one is our third leader, whose name I still don't know."

"He is a blacksmith. All our equipment comes from his hands. How powerful is that?"

"It's really awesome."

Li Mo calmly dealt with him, and now he had a certain amount of information.

The situation is similar to what Li Mo thought. The configuration of the trio is very reasonable. As long as there is no trouble among them, the stability of the guild order can be guaranteed.

This looks more like a deal. It's hard to say whether the blacksmith is from this city or not.

After another half an hour, the group finally arrived at their destination.

The entrance to the crystal mine has been smashed open, and the surrounding area is covered with gravel. A faint purple light can be seen.

The alien beasts inside have been cleared by combatants and preparations have been made for mining work. After all, the value of mining work is the greatest among all tasks.

There are eight people in the mission team, and Zhang Yuge stands at the entrance of the cave to direct the work.

Li Mo followed the five people and observed the situation in the cave.

It seems to be no different from the one in the previous hidden copy. They are all natural stone walls and eerie.

Taking the pickaxe he was handed, Li Mo picked the darkest corner as a mining location.

It’s convenient for you to do some little tricks...

"Huh?"

Li Mo shook the pickaxe and secretly stuffed it into his warehouse as if he was not taking advantage of it.

The blacksmith's gathering ability was activated, and some wood was taken out from the warehouse to make a brand new pickaxe. Of course, the wood was picked up from the mission center.

Li Mo was instinctively suspicious of the three leaders, so it was naturally best not to use his things.

【Ordinary pickaxe】

[Effect: Must be used continuously for 4 hours (effort value 0/10)]

"Um?"

Li Mo looked at this bad luck and suddenly had black lines in his head. Four hours was too long.

Now it's better, we can't fish anymore.

Li Mo tried to tap the crystal stone at his feet with a pickaxe.

(Effort value 1/10)

What is this?

The five people nearby couldn't help but wonder when they saw Li Mo's strange behavior. The movements of their hands slowed down, as if they felt that Li Mo was a new species.

Where are you playing music? You're also playing scales.

Li Mo found that he could not understand the props of bad luck more and more, and after much thought, he finally made up his mind.

This time I didn’t listen to it!

Today I just want to see the power of the doom props.

Li Mo stood aside and did not continue to use the pickaxe. Instead, he held it in his hand and stared at the effort value.

[Effort value is not up to standard, start punishment]

There was a hissing sound, and a bolt of black lightning suddenly hit Li Mo's hand, causing him to scream in pain.

The man around him couldn't suppress his curiosity anymore and asked weakly:

"Were you bitten by a crystal?"

Facing the gazes from around him, even such a shameless person like Li Mo felt a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, my hand suddenly cramped just now."

The elder brother next to him was doubtful and finally moved further away from Li Mo.
