Chapter 148: The Bronze Gate!
The cave Qiufeng Duwo found this time was very strange, the entrance was less than a meter high, so everyone had to crawl in.
Luckily, it was quite spacious inside.
There were markings of human carving in the cave, and many extinguished torches were hanging on the stone walls.
After entering, everyone looked around and didn’t see anything, so they continued to explore further inside.
The cave was not very deep, and after a few steps, everyone saw a Bronze Gate.
"We came here before, but couldn’t open this gate. It seems like something is blocking it from the other side."
Qiufeng Duwo looked at Zhou Li and said, "Let’s discuss with this gate, brother, let it open by itself."
Zhou Li’s mouth twitched, "You…"
Qiufeng Duwo chuckled, "Haha, just kidding. Seriously, this door doesn’t have a keyhole, so it’s probably not opened with a key."
"No matter how hard I push, the door doesn’t budge. There must be some other mechanism," Qiufeng Duwo said as he kicked the Bronze Gate forcefully.
Qian Luo waved his hand and knocked on the Bronze Gate, "It’s thick, this door doesn’t seem like it can be pushed open."
Qian Xia looked around at the surrounding walls, "It’s a bit strange."
Qian Luo turned around, "Where?"
Qian Xia pointed to a recessed wall, "Reach your hand out here, there’s a draft."
As she spoke, a water ball suddenly appeared in Qian Xia’s hand.
She gently pushed the water ball towards the recess, and the center of the water ball suddenly caved in, as if blown by the wind.
Everyone saw this and gathered around.
"In theory, the only place with a draft is the tunnel we entered from, why is there wind here?"
Someone took out a weapon and tried to smash the wall, creating several dents.
"You’re too slow, let me do it!"
Saying that, a player directly displayed the title of Intermediate Miner, took out a pickaxe, and started swinging it!
"Wow, a miner!"
"Ahem, my side job."
"Mining is too tiring, most people can’t stick with it."
"Yeah, the first two days I went mining with my brother, I couldn’t last until one o’clock."
Zhou Li also tried mining, and that activity was really tiring.
It’s possible that you could dig all day and still find nothing.
Some players went several days without finding anything, which was normal.
However, once you find something, it’s definitely a vein of ore!
These veins are categorized as basic, intermediate, advanced, and massive.
Only one player has ever discovered a massive vein, which was an enormous copper deposit.
At that time, thousands of players were mining together all day and still couldn’t finish it.
And then it refreshed.
Mining is indeed a path to wealth.
If your face gets a bit paler, it won’t be a problem to earn tens of thousands on the day you dig up the small Violet Gold vein.
Even though the price of Violet Gold is not high now, it still depends on the quantity!
One pound of pure ore costs 50 copper coins.
A small ore vein can produce at least 15 to 30 pounds of pure ore.
So selling this will easily buy you a car worth over a hundred thousand.
It all depends on luck when digging holes.
Even with a 10% efficiency bonus from being an intermediate miner, it’s still not very good.
It’s just that, if you have bad luck, no amount of bonus will help.
Even if it’s 100%.
For example, if we turn the chance of finding ore into numbers.
It starts at 100.
With the title of Junior Miner, it increases by 1%.
That makes it 101.
With the title of Mid-tier Miner, it increases by 10%.
Making it 110.
If this miner’s bonus could reach 100%, then the chance of finding ore…
Would be 200.
Yes, this chance has no limit.
Even if you have a 1000% chance of finding ore, if you dig all day, you still might not find any.
Looking on the bright side.
This title can change you from taking several days to find a mine to just a few days.
Probably.
I say probably because some lucky people can find mines every day for several days in a row!
It’s very frustrating.
Fishermen don’t catch fish every day either!
Zhou Li tried digging for ore for a few days, but when he didn’t find any, he gave up.
Saying it’s hard work doesn’t even give a glimmer of hope!
You never know how many stones are behind one stone!
To earn the title, you must keep mining!
Therefore, players who can get the title of Master Miner are really amazing!
"Connected!"
As he spoke, all the players looked over and saw a big hole being chiseled out by this old brother on the wall.
A player looked through the hole and saw darkness inside, but there was always a breeze.
"There’s something there!"
"Let’s dig together!"
"Who has a pickaxe, let’s dig together!"
"I have it, I’ll do it!"
"I have it too," said Zhou Li as he took out the pickaxe he had bought earlier.
He thought he would never need it.
Everyone worked together and smashed a hole big enough for one person to crawl through on the wall.
One by one, they crawled in and lit torches to illuminate the space inside.
It was a very small secret room with many household items scattered around, as if someone had lived there before.
Everyone searched around and suddenly someone stepped on something.
The person bent down to take a look.
"Ouch, I stepped on something!"
The player fell down suddenly.
Zhou Li hurried over, asking, "What’s wrong?"
The player took a deep breath, "There were two skeletons, scared the heck out of me."
Immediately, everyone approached with torches in hand.
They saw two skeletons wearing clothes, holding hands and leaning against the wall together.
The clothes seemed to be one male and one female.
Qiufeng Duwo quickly squatted down, "Wow, are these two pieces of clothing of epic quality?!"
"Take them off, take them off!"
"These two people, holding hands even in death, darn couples are everywhere!"
"Is this game starting to target single dogs?"
Zhou Li hesitated, as he reached out his hand, "Um… um, it’s not good to strip dead people’s clothes, right?"
Qiufeng Duwo turned around, "Don’t you touch corpses when playing games?"
"Are you a player?"
Um…
That seems to make sense.
But this game is too realistic, so realistic that Zhou Li always instinctively treats this place as real!
These people have no limits, they directly stripped two skeletons completely.
It’s very explicit.
There are two rings, one red and one blue.
The red ring has a sun imprint, and the blue ring has a moon imprint.
The description says they are just plain equipment with no special effects.
This was taken by Qian Xia and Qian Luo.
They didn’t touch the remaining clothes and things, which were divided up by Qiufeng Duwo and the others.
"Why do I feel like we’re tomb raiders?"
"Have confidence and ignore that feeling."
"There’s a button behind these two skulls!"
The group separated the two skulls and found a raised handprint behind them.
Zhou Li secretly put the hands of the two skulls together again.
Hmm, one must have principles in life.
It’s not polite to take someone else’s things and separate them.
A player placed their hand on the raised handprint and pushed it hard!
Boom!
A loud noise suddenly echoed inside the cave, as if something had been opened.
"The door outside is open!"
"Let’s not rush, let’s see what’s over here."
