The Truth of Magic

Chapter 513 Monthly production of ten thousand gold, artifact materials

"Strange thing?" Zhao Xu couldn't help raising the decibel, looking at Ted, the person in charge of the mining area in front of him.

Because of the complex composition of the entire silver mining area, many mines were not completely monopolized by one person like the No. 36 mine owned by Zhao Xu.

Many mines may be controlled by several big families behind the scenes, and even players are currently only involved in a few of them.

Most of them have participated in the work of the ore processing, refining and sales industry chain, and have improved a lot of ore-related professional skills and craftsmanship.

The entire mining area seems to be less than the No. 100 mine mouth, but tracing back the origins of each family, it is even possible to include the entire alliance. This is the key to the whole body of Falling Star Town not daring to act rashly on the spot in Winter City.

In his previous life, Mr. Ted had a few encounters with Zhao Xu.

However, he was also a man with long sleeves and a good dancer. By the time Zhao Xu entered the management of the town, the other party had already successfully climbed to the higher city of Oulu.

Now that the other party mentioned it to him, the mine owner, in front of everyone, he naturally had ulterior motives.

Zhao Xu didn't bother to identify the person in charge of the mining area with the spell of confusion and control in public. Before the other party could speak, he just waved his hand and said, "Then report it step by step according to the procedure."

Hearing this, the person in charge Ted's face was slightly stiff, and he was also a little puzzled when he saw the forbeared smile of Mr. Zhong Xia's companion.

Didn't it mean that the players are all warm-hearted people?

As long as the Arthurs 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 who followed ancient etiquette.

Ted, the person in charge, also came over suddenly, bowed his waist quickly, and raised his hand to signal Zhao Xu and the others to go to the No. 36 pit.

This made the players who were squatting at the entrance of the opposite mine pit with grass in their mouths look amazed, "Xiao Liu, can you hear what they said with your lip language and listening skills?"

The player named Xiao Liu was dressed in gray slag and was still carrying a pickaxe in his hand, and said: "The big tail wolf Ted mentioned the strange things in the mining area recently, but this new big brother didn't take the advice. , Let him report to the next level."

"Who is this guy? This Ted is usually like a dog. He bows down to the upper echelons of Winter City and orders us players arrogantly. His head is almost on the ground."

At this time, another soldier who was carrying a pickaxe and was also covered in dust from his work came over and said, "I'll go, don't you guys always want to meet? This boss is the one who is number one in the whole server."

"I'll go. I vaguely heard the name just now, but I didn't dare to confirm it. I didn't expect it to be true." Xiao Liu also exclaimed suddenly, "I heard that he was appointed to come to Falling Star Town, but I didn't expect it to come true. .”

"Yeah, 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 the residence of the Mage Association? I still want to make a living."

"The Mage Association has a No. 48 mine here. When you go to work, don't you want to check your own property first? You see that there are so many people behind him, probably from the association team, and there are quite a lot of beauties."

"But they're going in the wrong direction."

"Who knows." The soldiers on the side also felt that they couldn't explain it.

"Heh, other people come to see the mine, but we are here to mine. It's like they are the owners of commercial houses, and we are the construction team. It makes people laugh to death when you say it, but you can also play games, and you can dig mines and do hard work every day. .” Xiao Liu complained.

"Those funders have invested millions into this game. Do you think there is a lot of water? This is life. If you don't accept it, you can go to the wild with a dagger to kill monsters, and the money will come in faster."

"Don't tell me, there is no safety in mining when fighting monsters. You don't need to wear out your weapons and armor, and you don't have to wait for your life to be healed. Recently, my professional (miner) skills have improved a lot." A player objected.

"Come on, when I finish digging this week's mines and save enough money to exchange for a two-handed giant sword, I'll go out for an adventure, and mining here every day will almost ruin it." The soldier complained, "If those civilians can't beat Monster, mining is a last resort, we players hold weapons, how can we be so cowardly."

The group of resting players immediately started arguing about whether "mining" is worthwhile, and the volume gradually increased.

And Zhao Xu's Zhao Xu, who was walking away, didn't hear it.

In fact, after crossing, there are quite a few people who dare to go out and take risks.

Being able to mine well and survive is the choice of most people.

This is the case in the career of an adventurer. Before the accumulation reaches a certain level, even fighting a goblin is an act of licking blood with a knife.

Therefore, when all the resurrection stones disappeared after time travel, and it was no longer possible to register a new account like a game, many people did not have that kind of "courage".

On the other side, everyone also followed the person in charge into the mouth of the mine, and walked slowly along the path beside the truck guide rail.

In the case of insufficient lighting from the lamps on the wall, everyone's figures became somewhat faint, 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 from a single-player game to a farming and production game.

So just now when the person in charge Ted mentioned "strangeness", he didn't respond at all.

He is here to produce and manage forces, not to work and do tasks.

Since Arthur didn't have a "task" with a fixed process, naturally the "task reward" would be a question mark.

Every week the forum broke out about players blatantly killing their employers because they couldn't receive their rewards. However, even if these players have a reason to sympathize, they will have to be chased and killed by the city guards, and they will die or be canceled from then on.

So before clarifying the risks and benefits of a matter, Zhao Xu would not rashly open his mouth to take over this "mistake". 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 Mage Association, there are hundreds of other mines that have nothing to do with him.

Zhao Xu had already realized from the "Prime Ancient Elements Temple" at the bottom of Falling Star Lake that "Falling Star Lake" was far less simple than he imagined. Naturally, he would not make any noise about some weird things.

Unless it really can't be solved later, then his behind-the-scenes boss needs to take action to cover the scene, and this comes from his corresponding responsibility of "lordship".

"Why are they all pitch-black mounds?"

Seeing that after he came in, everything in front of him was not as glittering as he had imagined, Zheng Xinyun couldn't help being surprised.

In other words, the only one with silver light in the field was Vivienne who came down in full body armor.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but turned his head and looked at Zheng Xinyun, "What kind of Mithril mine do you imagine?"

"It's the mine pile, where the silver is dug out."

Zheng Xinyun's answer was also very simple, with her head tilted slightly, with a dazed look on her face.

"In fact, mining is to dig these primary ores, and then use them to refine 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 that, he greeted "Les", the person in charge of the No. 36 pit in front of him.

Compared with Ted's fair face, Les, who was employed by Zhao Xu, was more of a burly man with stubble all over his face and fat on his stomach.

"I salute you, Archbishop Sos." When Rice saw the crowd, his first reaction was to salute Sos who was present.

Apparently he was a devout follower of a goddess of magic.

It was for this reason that he was arranged to manage the mine.

Archbishop Sos also introduced the two to Zhao Xu on the spot.

When he first heard about Zhao Xu's identity as the mine owner, Les just nodded silently.

But when he heard that Zhong Xia was also a believer of the goddess, and that he was even enveloped by divine grace, the big man Les became very enthusiastic towards Zhao Xu on the spot.

When Rice walked in the front and introduced the specific details of the mine, the monthly excavation situation and the distribution of manpower to everyone.

Archbishop Sos quietly whispered next to Zhao Xu: "Les's daughter was seriously ill because of the wind and cold. She was blessed by the goddess and saved her life after being treated by a priest. So their family is a devout believer of the goddess. .”

"Since I took over the diocese, their family has set aside one day every month to volunteer at the church. They are trustworthy people."

Zhao Xu nodded to show that he understood. At this time, Sosi handed over the candidate to him, and at the same time he felt a little emotional.

For ordinary people, they have no preconceived notions without receiving systematic education.

Don't think about what I want, what I will be, what I want to believe in?

It is very likely that the gods are kind to him, so he will dedicate his faith to serve the gods. As for the doctrine, it is naturally understood later.

This is even more so in the Northland where the folk customs are quite tough.

At this moment, Zhao Xu couldn't help but cast his gaze on Zheng Xinyun.

He has already realized that instead of using wealth to win over people and impressing everyone with immortal achievements, he can easily and quickly gather a force by relying on the route of "faith".

"It's amazing."

At this time, Rice asked the loud voice to say, "As the players captured Falling Star Town and executed the miners who traded slave labor for mining, they actually confiscated part of their share. The mines of the great nobles of the alliance will remain as they are."

"So this mine, which can be 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 rose sharply, ranking first among all current mines. Top of the list."

As he spoke, he also looked at Zhao Xu in surprise, as if he was admiring this "Zhong Xia" who was also a follower of the goddess.

"How much is that?" White Dragon Cyrus asked with concern, while Vivienne looked at the hot-headed White Dragon, ready to attack at any time.

In this regard, Rice looked at Zhong Xia.

"There's nothing to hide," Zhao Xu said.

At this time, there were still many miners in the mine pit carrying the crushed silver ore, and they kept carrying them to the top, but when they passed by, they all listened to the communication here with their ears up.

As if looking forward to the shocking gossip.

"It used to be less than 2,000 gold coins a month, but now it's almost 50,000 gold coins a month, and the production capacity may continue to increase in the future." Rice said in an incredible tone.

All the people present, those players pushing the carts, couldn't help taking a deep breath, but when he thought about the fact that he could harvest only five silver coins in one day of mining, he almost lost his breath when he thought about it. not come.

Sure enough, the bourgeoisie who have mastered the production resources can earn wealth that is not the same as those who rely on their hands for labor.

Zheng Xinyun was also a little surprised at this time, "Can you make money like this?"

She had secretly exchanged her pocket money for game gold coins to purchase equipment, and knew the current exchange price.

An income of 50,000 gold coins a month has even crushed the life-long efforts of countless people.

When Bailong heard this, his mouth watered even more, as if he had imagined how he would use these gold coins to build his lair.

"So exaggerated?" Wang Ningwei couldn't help but be speechless.

"You're quite a prodigal." Suddenly, Antinoya telepathized with Zhao Xu, and whispered with his back to everyone.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Xu was surprised.

"This mine can produce so much Mithril, you must have used your means. Otherwise, with the achievements of Falling Star Lake, Soss would not be able to help you come to this mine even if he gave up his old face."

"Well, I put a mithril crystal at the bottom, is there a problem?" Zhao Xu couldn't help being a little dazed, as if he had noticed something.

"A good material for making artifacts was exchanged by you for easy-to-get gold coins, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a little pain in his flesh.

So that's the case, the Emerald Star master Frank is already a nine-ring mage, why is he still so ignorant?

But he immediately calmed down.

"Huh? It's been a while since I put it in, but 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 they will not die for a hundred years. The accident or tomorrow, whoever comes first is uncertain, so let this mine be left behind."

Zhao Xu's eyes were deep. After passing Zheng Xinyun, he looked at the pit wall that had been dug in front of him, "Even if my family can't keep it, they can rely on that contract to exchange for something. It's finally a piece of real estate. Bar."
