Chapter 179 Peaceful prosperity before the storm (1)

Wang Lei didn't know why the temperature difference between the two sides was so big. In his feelings, the situation on both sides seemed to be a volcano on one side and an iceberg on the other side. In this kind of ice and fire, it became very difficult for Wang Lei to continue climbing downwards. Because the rope went down from a cold place, it would take no time to climb the sweat dripping from Wang Lei's body to turn into ice pieces, and he himself turned into ice pieces.

As for climbing down the hot ground, it would be even more miserable. The ropes were not smoked, but he was burned and his whole body was covered in bubbles. In the end, the brave man who had fallen to nine kilometers from the ground stopped in the extremely dangerous environment on both sides. At this time, he was at least nine kilometers from the ground and had been exploring this underground world for nearly three days. At the same time, Chen Kai and the others had mined the huge purple iron ore for two days. Xu Fei had gone to the imperial capital to sell equipment for nearly two days.

Although Wang Lei could not walk down the abyss passage of the two heavens of ice and fire, it did not mean that he had given up this underground journey. As long as he was not killed by a monster in his heart, he would continue to explore. In his opinion, this adventure was very memorable. So he did not climb back along the route of climbing down, but slowly groped in the direction of the airflow in the dark.

However, in this way, he will fall into a very dangerous situation and will get lost in the dark world if he is accidentally done. If he does this in reality, it is very dangerous, because if he gets lost in the underground world, the ending may be death. But in the game, death is nothing to the player. If he gets lost in the dark, then Wang Lei doesn't have to be afraid of anything. The food stored in his backpack is enough for him to explore in the dark world for at least three or four months, and the tools he carries are enough to allow him to climb at least dozens or even hundreds of kilometers. The only thing that hinders him is the dangerous surroundings and the monsters that don't know when they will appear.

But even if he encounters a monster, he is only forced to block this exploration journey. He can even be sent back to the city for free because of his death. Wang Lei, who bound the soul path mark to the cemetery of Berkner Town, would be resurrected in the cemetery of Berkner Town as long as he did not run within a range of 100 kilometers from Berkner Town, he would be resurrected in the cemetery of Berkner Town. This is a special preferential treatment for the player city, that is, the player can freely bind the place where he resurrected after death. If it is a native city, then the dead place will be resurrected where he is close to it, and even in the wild cemetery in the wilderness, players may crawl out of the tomb.

This setting that makes many female players or timid players very depressed, makes many players who are resurrected in the wild cemetery in the middle of the night and passers-by have been scared. Because sometimes those players who are resurrected in the wild cemetery may need to use their hands to peel off the floating soil on the surface of their bodies to climb out of the ground. This process will look very terrifying at the third update of the night. The worst thing about the resurrection place is that the soil layer on top is too thick and hard to be peeled off, you may be suffocated in it again. Of course, what makes those female players depressed is the environment of the wild cemetery. It is already very depressed to peel off the soil after resurrection. If you have a skull on it after you peel off the soil and look at you, then you will probably be scared to death or faint again after resurrection.

Therefore, the fact that the resurrection cemetery can be bound is a very good benefit for many players. Therefore, most players like to settle down in the players' cities rather than indigenous cities with more complete equipment.

For Wang Lei, he has been completely used to groping in the darkness in the past few days. He can see clearly even if the road is dark. At least he has no problem with the sight. In fact, when he descends to a position nearly seven or eight kilometers from the ground, a faint red light began to slowly emit from the surrounding rocks. Although this red light is very dim, it is enough for Wang Lei, who is illuminating the crystal to see the road clearly. Of course, there is no road in the underground world, especially in this world under the abyss. The cliffs on both sides are basically not vertically down, but cliffs. Such cliffs are very steep and lack gaps to climb. Wang Lei uses a climbing pick to hang his body almost every step. Only by relying on this rock climbing technique can he slowly climb on this steep cliff and move slowly towards the distance in unknown direction.

At his feet, there are countless terrifying abysses, and in front of him there are countless extensions of the abyss. The dark underground world can hardly feel the alternation of time. If it weren't for the continuous movement of time of the system, Wang Lei would not have felt how long he had been in this underground world. In this state of action, Wang Lei's movement speed was very slow, just like a turtle climbing. Originally, he could have fallen at least three or four kilometers a day, but now he has only climbed less than one kilometer all day, and he has been constantly detouring around those dead ends that cannot be climbed.

After Chen Kai commanded the miners to dig for three days, Xu Fei had just sold two holy weapons, but the price was slightly different from Chen Kai and the others expected. Originally, in their opinion, these two weapons could sell at least tens of millions of gold coins, but in fact, the total gold coins Xu Fei received was only seven million. In addition to the few users of the two weapons, the evil of their original owners caused the audience of the weapons to become very narrow. In addition, the commission collected by the auction house after the auction of the weapons was eventually greatly reduced.

This number is already a huge sum of money in the eyes of many players. Even Prime Minister Capello, when he heard Xu Fei, the mage who was following Chen Kai, sold such a large amount of gold coins, he immediately ran over to do a business. Unfortunately, when he heard what Xu Fei was going to buy, he shook his head and left. It was not that he had no items to sell it to Xu Fei, but because according to Chen Kai's title, he could not buy more magic crystal cannons. In the end, Xu Fei spent less than one million gold coins to buy at least two hundred magic crystal cannon shells and three replacement cannon barrels from Prime Minister Capello.

Of course, both gun barrels and shells are not first-hand products, but second-hand goods eliminated by the Imperial City Guards. However, when Chen Kai received these second-hand goods, he found that the so-called second-hand goods were just because of the name on the processing documents. In fact, these things are basically new but relatively old. They have been in the warehouse for too long, so some warehouse managers have treated them as second-hand goods.

However, what made Xu Fei's headache was Chen Kai's other demand, because the imperial capital could not find such a large amount of suspension bridge or crane. In the end, he could only turn to the imperial capital's Spell Association. The originally customized spell device with additional floating technique was strengthened again, from the original maximum carrying capacity of 300 tons to nearly 500 tons. According to the old mage, it is estimated that the Hansting Empire could not find ore that this thing could not afford. If there were really such a large ore, then he would eat the ore himself. Because in the old mage's opinion, most of the ore would only last a few hundred coins to death.

No matter how big the ore is, the raw stone of rich ore cannot be mined entirely. No fool miner will choose to take the ore out of the veins without crushing it. But this old mage didn't know that it was not that Chen Kai and the others who didn't want to smash the huge purple iron rough stone. But because this huge purple iron rough stone crystal cluster almost all grow together, it is not necessarily much weaker than the metals that melt together. In order to smash this huge purple iron ore, in Chen Kai's view, it is very difficult to use the technology of the miners in Berkner Town, or it is basically impossible to be under a cliff.

Because the loading weight and volume of the magic equipment were modified, the amount of gold coins that Xu Fei had to pay increased again from less than 200,000 gold coins to 800,000 gold coins. At the same time, the time for picking up the goods changed from the original two days to three days delaying for a total of five days. So when Xu Fei, Wang Xuewen and others brought this thing back to Berkner Town, nearly six days had passed since they left Berkner Town, and the huge purple iron rough stone had been dug for nearly six days.

In Chen Kai's view, this huge purple iron rough stone has gradually appeared as it is dug. The length, width and height of this stone are far beyond the original estimate. At least the height and width originally exposed outside are not the final height and width of the stone. Finally, when the whole rough stone is exposed to Chen Kai's eyes, its height reaches 23 meters and its width reaches nearly 14 meters. As for the thickness of 15 meters, even Xu Fei was shocked. Because he did not think that this huge stone would be less than 1,000 tons, and even if the whole rough stone is not hollow but solid, it will weigh at least four or five thousand cubic meters and thousands of tons according to the volume.

"I said this thing can be made without breaking it?" Xu Fei looked at the floating array plate in his hand. If he could return to the imperial capital now, he would definitely pull the old master here. Because according to the old master's words, he would eat the huge ore.

"If I can break it, I'm still confused about the yarn! You don't know how hard purple iron is. This thing is almost a pure natural purple iron bump. It has high purity or solidity. You ask me to break it up. If it contains a little more sand, I can also let those earth element casters smash it, but its purity is too high. I have no choice!" Chen Kai originally thought that this huge purple iron rough stone was an oval bump, which was only three or four meters thick to death, but when it was dug out, it scared him directly. This thickness was calculated based on the earth and stone, and it was at least four or five thousand cubic meters in volume. If one cubic ore was equal to one ton, it would be at least four or five thousand tons. But in fact, the weight of purple iron was heavier. This huge ore was at least tens of thousands of tons.

If such a huge stone had been a huge ore shining with the luster of gold coins, then now it would be the most depressing knot in Chen Kai's heart. He didn't even know how to deal with this huge thing, because Berkner Town could not divide this ore at all. Even if the stone was eventually transported out of the underground world, Chen Kai had no way to cut and utilize it.

"What should I do now? This thing is useless!" Xu Fei threw the folded and shrinking magic array plate in his hand to Chen Kai and said. It is definitely a good thing to put this magic array plate in other places, but if you want to support this giant, you will need at least 40 or 50 yuan. If it is 40 or 50 yuan, Chen Kai gritted his teeth and might still accept it. But even if you sell it for 40 or 50 yuan, you can't get it out.

"Who said it's useless! I can't use this thing to install this big iron lump. Can't I use it to do other things?" Chen Kai pointed to a huge wooden house on the suspension bridge that was built. This house was built by Chen Kai with metal and wood. It can be said that it is specially used to transport players to dig gems in the underground world that is thousands of meters deep. As long as Xu Fei installs the magic array of floating magic into place. Then this wooden house can float up and down under the control of the caster and become an elevator controlled by spells. Transporting hundreds of tons of gem mines at a time is like drizzle. The most important thing makes it very easy for players to enter the abyss. If the magic array is removed at night, the house will become a decorative without any effect.

"Is this okay?" Xu Fei looked up at the wooden house and looked up at Chen Kai. In his opinion, Chen Kai's thoughts were a bit naive, but as the entire magic array was installed in place, he knew that Chen Kai was not joking when he watched Wang Xuewen slowly control the magic array to lower the entire wooden house down the abyss.

However, due to the control reasons, the handmade magic elevator was not floating up and down, and it took at least a certain time to get familiar with it. Even because of Wang Xuewen's control mistake, the entire house fell directly in the abyss. The roof turned from the roof to the sky, and almost fell into the abyss because of this.

"I think this thing needs a few ropes to fix it for pulling and stretching, otherwise I think no one dares to do such an elevator!" After returning to the ground, Xu Fei looked at Chen Kai with sweat on his head, and the latter nodded with fear.

But no matter what, Berkner Town can normally mine gem veins that are kilometer underground, plus the purple iron produced in the purple iron veins. When Fei Yun brought the dwarves to Berkner Town, the first thing he saw was the purple iron ore that gradually accumulated in the warehouse, as well as the more and more gems accumulated. The commercial activities of the entire Berkner Town. Because these two minerals began to develop rapidly, more and more players heard that the Gem Abyss came. From the original few hundred people to thousands of people every day, but because Chen Kai controlled the passage around the entire abyss, it was difficult for most players to go through Chen Kai's control to enter the underground gem veins to collect ores.

Although the system gives players a huge backpack space, players can also use certain methods to block other players' backpack space. At least Chen Kai purchased nearly a thousand magic chains through certain channels. Players locked by the chains cannot open the backpack space, and after they are confiscated the space equipment, they are allowed to carry a cloth bag into the underground gem vein to mine. Each player can only go in and dig for one hour. And they must pay at least 500 gold coins, but even in this case, the benefits they get as long as they are not lazy will far exceed their own efforts.

So for hundreds of years, many people were very dissatisfied with Chen Kai's actions, but at least he did not eat alone. Berkner Town began to have a relatively large investment due to this move. Five hundred gold coins per hour, one thousand people are 500,000 gold coins. Even if there are only a few thousand people a day, Chen Kai can still earn at least two hundred gold coins. However, Chen Kai is very clear that this is only as high as the early stage of gem vein mining. If the gem vein is mined, it will become impossible for Chen Kai to get so much money. But no one knows how long the gem min will be dug, but in less than half a month, Chen Kai has harvested at least 30 million gold coins. Even if half of them were collected by the system as taxes, the Prime Minister Capello saw Chen Kai's face smiled to the corner of his mouth through the remote communication magic circle, but the remaining money was still the pure income of Berkner Town.

This does not include the tax paid by players to sell gems in Berkner Town. At least in the past half month of gem mining, Chen Kai's purse swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye. Some people even think that Chen Kai once again topped the list of players' rich people in less than half a month, but that is basically impossible. Although Chen Kai's total wealth is absolutely high, in fact, the money in his pocket is still very small. All his money is used to purchase military supplies and food, and the entire Berkner Town began to develop rapidly as the northern aristocratic alliance is not blocking it.

This period was the most comfortable time Chen Kai had, because those demonized soldiers would come to harass them at night and could hardly see them. The only thing that made him feel uneasy was the attitude of the players around him. After all, the prosperity of Berkner Town made other player lords very dissatisfied. When they were in dire straits, Chen Kai was making a fortune, and the continuous development of military strength almost made these player lords both afraid and angry.

If they had the chance, they would not hesitate to snatch Chen Kai's sword from behind, either snatching the gem abyss like a gold mine or destroying Chen Kai's town of Berkner. It can be said that when Chen Kai was not paying attention, his city began to be isolated by Hugodi's player lords. (To be continued...)
