On the fourth day, before the sun rose, the sound of mining could be heard in the abandoned mining area.

Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang …

Ding! System Notification: Congratulations to player Dongfang Qingyu for obtaining a Hematite, Proficiency + 0.0002%.

"..."

's expression was focused, his arms were holding onto his pickaxe as he frantically waved it, beads of sweat flowed down from his forehead and onto the ground, causing a circle of wet marks to form under his feet. He completely did not care, and stepped in naked, not because it was hot, but because after his last grey clothes were destroyed, he did not buy any new clothes, in any case, there were a lot of people who did not wear any clothes, and he was not too eye-catching, as he was engaged in mining, so no matter how good his clothes were, he did not need to wear any more clothes.

The morning quietly went by, and the result was better than yesterday. There were a total of 780 low-ranked Hematite.

Dongfang Qingyu also figured out a problem, although his perseverance was related to eating until he was full, but it wasn't the only one. It was also related to resting, and when he woke up in the morning to check, his willpower had increased to 89.

However, after he started mining, his willpower had started to drop. Now, his willpower had increased to 45. After eating and drinking to their heart's content, they rested for ten minutes before their willpower rose to 68.

"..."

The afternoon harvest was slightly less than the afternoon. Although there were 750 ores, it was still a bit more than the day before. When he finished his work, he glanced at his perseverance stat. 20, it was even worse than yesterday.

Similarly, he had to run twice to get all the ores to the smithy, took 22,950 copper coins, and directly went offline. Originally, he had wanted to stroll around the Novice Village s to buy some things, but he was too tired.

On the fifth day, he dug out 1480 Low-grade Ore and sold them.

On the sixth day, he dug out 1450 Low-grade Ore s and sold them.

On the seventh day, he dug out 1205 Low-grade Ore and sold them.

The density of the ores, his efficiency, they were almost the same as before. His level of proficiency had increased, and he had become more experienced, so the amount of ores should have increased by a lot. In the end, when his gaze landed on the top of the pickaxe, he suddenly realized something was wrong. The pickaxe was dim and obscure, like an old woman in her teens. This was a clear sign that it was about to be scrapped, and it was smashed towards her with a Identification Art.

Mace: Black Iron, Attack 9-11, Mining Success + 5%, Durability 1/30.

He could not even afford to sell it, without experience, he was really at a disadvantage. He carefully placed the pickaxe back into the Hundred Treasures Sac, afraid that he would accidentally touch and use up the last of the Durability s.

Returning to the Novice Village, a smithy.

First, he dealt with the Hematite, then he took out his pickaxe.

"Master, can you repair a weapon?" Dongfang Qingyu looked at Dwarf Man expectantly.

"10,000 copper coins." The Dwarf Man glanced at it and announced a price. For some reason, he seemed to dislike Dongfang Qingyu.

Dongfang Qingyu's face twitched. 10,000 copper coins, why didn't he go and snatch it? However, he did not dare to bargain. After a few days of trading, he had understood the temper of the Dwarf Man and could say whatever he wanted. If he dared to argue with him, he would not trade with him and even if he wanted to be blacklisted, it would be useless no matter how much more money he wanted to give him. In the past few days, he had seen one or two of these unlucky fellows every day. He endured the pain and pulled out 10,000 copper coins that were still hot from his grip.

The Dwarf seemed to have a very low opinion of wealth. He casually threw his companion into a black jar, picked up his pickaxe and put it into the furnace.

Dang, dang, dang …

This voice was much more ear-piercing than the sound of mining, but Dongfang Qingyu did not dare to reveal a look of disgust, as this was also the second place in Dwarf Man that was prone to getting angry. He was very confident in his skills, if someone showed any contempt or disrespect towards him on the blacksmith's blacklist, he would also be blacklisted, and there would be no reason for him to do so.

Dongfang Qingyu noticed that following the hammer smashing onto the pickaxe, a faint light seemed to enter the pickaxe, and before he could see clearly, Dwarf Man had already put away the hammer. He placed the pickaxe that was still boiling into the water, chi — — A white mist rose and the ice water immediately started to boil, but very quickly, following the temperature of the pickaxe dropping, the water surface became calm, and the white mist also became thinner.

"Alright." Dwarf Man grabbed his pickaxe and threw it at Dongfang Qingyu.

Dongfang Qingyu's eyes were wide open. In less than ten minutes, he had already obtained 10,000 copper? A Identification Art slammed down.

Mace: Black Iron, Attack 9-11, Mining Success + 5%, Durability 30/30.

"It's good to have the skills!" Dongfang Qingyu sighed. He had spent money, but the pickaxe had returned to its normal state and was worth it. He did not express his gratitude and left the blacksmith's shop. If he really wanted to be polite, he might as well give him a few jars of good wine. All the good wine from Novice Village required at least 3000 copper coins, Dongfang Qingyu couldn't bear to part with them. Of course, the most important thing was that he saw many rich people deliver fine wine to the Dwarf Man. However, other than obtaining the Dwarf Man's smile, there did not seem to be any other benefits. Thus, he had given up on this idea.

"Roasted chicken, I sold roasted chicken." Someone was selling fowl on the street. Dongfang Qingyu followed the crowd and approached the place and immediately smelled an alluring fragrance. It should be a player, the ones that he produced were called flocks, and they were not numerous, only six of them. They were randomly picked with a tree branch and roasted to a golden color, dripping with oil, just a glance at them would make people drool.

"How much?" Someone immediately asked about the price.

The owner of the roasted chicken was a young man of about 20 years of age with a square head and big ears. However, his expression was a little dull, giving people a dull feeling. They only saw him extend his palm.

"500 copper?"

"5000 copper." The young man shook his head.

"Woosh ~ ~ ~"

The surrounding people immediately scattered. The items were not bad and were very attractive, but the price was too high, with so many people on the street, at least half of them couldn't afford 5000 copper coins. Those who could afford it weren't willing to eat their fill, they didn't even have money to buy equipment. Dongfang Qingyu also shook his head and left. He could afford it, but he was unwilling to part with it.

On the eighth day, Dongfang Qingyu woke up around four in the morning and went online. He was in a good state and had good weapons. He had to run three times to get all the ores back.

On the ninth day, 2150 pills.

On the tenth day, 2,180 pills.

The eleventh day.

Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang …

The sound was heavy, it wasn't as loud as it was a few days ago. When he walked in, he discovered that Dongfang Qingyu had already dug a tunnel more than 10 metres deep, with a diameter of around 2 metres, as he had always been following the direction of the Low-grade Ore s, he continued to dig until he dug a tunnel leading out. When he went in deeper, the sound would naturally not sound as loud.

Dingdang, a ore jumped out. Dongfang Qingyu felt the abnormality and his gaze fell upon the ore. After ten consecutive days of mining, he had some experience with it, and from the sound, he was able to tell the approximate purity of the ore, the sound of this ore hitting the ground was obviously muffled. If it was just before, he would definitely not be able to hear it, but now it was extremely sensitive.

Ding! System prompt: Identification successful, experience + 0.0003%.

Hematite: Medium Grade Ore, purity 43.4%.

Yeah! After eleven whole days, he finally dug out a middle ranked Hematite. His upper body was black, making him look like an African, but although it was black, he had thickened his body a bit, and his muscles were tight, filled with strength.

From the last hour of darkness, Dongfang Qingyu dug out another 19 Medium Grade Ore from time to time. Today's harvest was the least, only 2,120 ores, but he was in a very happy mood. In the entire Novice Village, there were not many people who could find Medium Grade Ore, and he often hung out in the smithy, understanding more about ores than most people. Occasionally, a few people would find Medium Grade Ore, and there were also one or two of them, but people like him, who got 20, were really not many, at least he had never heard of many of them.

"The Medium Grade Ore, hmm, has improved a little." Dwarf Man revealed a rare look of appreciation. His gaze swept across the twenty middle tier Hematite s and gave a price. "One hundred and fifty copper coins."

It was slightly cheaper than expected, but Dongfang Qingyu did not say anything and chose to make the transaction. After that, he spent 7,000 copper coins to repair the pickaxe. Because the Durability was not as worn as last time, the repair cost was also reduced by a bit.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed. Dongfang Qingyu's wealth had also successfully broke through million copper coins two days ago, and in his Novice Village, he could be considered as a wealthy person as well. This was a happy occasion, but he had lost some, and the number of Hematite in the mining area had dwindled.

It would be a great pity to lose such a lucrative path.
