Chapter 18 Chapter 18: Mining
"The sun is about to set!" When I woke up, I found that the sun was slowly setting in the west, which also reminded me that it was dark and I had to go down the mountain as soon as possible
Senior Sister Ling Jing mentioned that the suppressed speed after reaching the fourth silk will be released and will advance in the battle. Therefore, as long as you reach the fourth silk, anything can happen.
But now I haven't reached the fourth silk, so these are useless to me for the time being. Now my main task is to quickly reach the tenth silk and get rid of this damn headache.
"A lot of sodium oxide..." In the evening, I also came to the formal downtown area around the arena. Outside the window of a raw material, I looked at the pile of crystal clear sodium oxide. Sodium oxide, also known as sodium monoxide, is strongly corrosive and irritating. In this fantasy world, it will cause strong pain after touching it. It is the raw material for making weapons.
"When will you get so much money for two hundred fantasy coins..." I touched my pocket of less than fifty fantasy coins and left the store depressedly with a feeling of crying and tears.
It is indeed very lively. It is still brightly lit at night, like a city that never sleeps, and the whole area is in a noisy state.
"Boss, can this magnetic iron oxide be cheaper?" I'm actually bargaining at a civilian store now, it's so miserable.
"You bargained my civilian shop, how poor are you? No, no, I'm just sixty, saying one or two." The boss was very rude and never let go of death.
"Then boss, can I owe the debt? I only have fifty. I will definitely pay back within three months. Boss, please be generous." I tried to get the qualification to owe the debt.
"You dare to owe money in a small business like me! You're looking for death!" Sure enough, it still failed. The boss seemed to have a bad temper, but if it were someone else's words, he would still be angry.
"Boss, it's the first time for me. Just be generous! I'll shorten the date by one week! It's okay." Although a week is very difficult for me, since I've all praised Haikou, I have to finish it no matter what.
The boss had only been seeing him for a week, and his attitude was slightly relieved. He took out a big book from the drawer. "Remember your first time, sign, write the deadline, leave fifty fantasy coins, and get out of here with the things!"
I left the fifty fantasy coins and wrote my name on it. After writing the deadline, I took the iron and walked out of the store. The boss glanced at the content of my writing, "Are you He Lan?"
What the boss said scared me and I couldn't help but stop. I put my index finger in front of my mouth and signaled my boss not to say it out. Now I am not the time to become famous. The boss seemed to feel very interesting, and his face gradually changed from the rage just now to a smile, and then he turned into a look of thinking of a crooked idea. This expression is very common to Cheng Jiji.
"I have to find a way to borrow money." Now I am penniless. There is only Yunge Sword and some raw materials in the savings bag. It turns out that things from the world have been kept in my backpack, and I didn't dare to put those in the savings bag.
"I am so poor that I am so poor that I will arrive at the fourth silk!" Only by reaching the fourth silk can I take on the task and make money, so that I can improve my food and buy the required raw materials.
After leaving the downtown area, I returned to the dormitory and entered my room. It was summer, and my clothes were already soaked up and down. After taking a shower, I wanted to go to bed.
"Don't close the window when I came out in the morning?" I came out of the bathroom and saw the unclosed window when I arrived at the hall. When I walked over and wanted to pull the window over, I could see the scene full of stars. No matter how many times I saw it, I wouldn't feel bored. Every time I felt it was more beautiful.
The moonlight shines into the hall and is reflected on the backpack.
"Actually, it's all fake to say that we don't miss it." Although our lives in this fantasy world are becoming more colorful, it's all fake to say that we don't miss it.
During the five months we came here, we didn't know how to practice, and we never stopped asking about the news about the dragon. Cheng Jiji, who is recognized as the most leisurely among us, did not only know how to visit the Qingshimen. Instead, he stood on the front line of inquiring about the information, actively searching for various information and hoped to screen out the news about the dragon. Even now, he still had no clue.
I also thought about what would we look like if we had not come to this world at this time? It is early June now, and we may still be doing questions in the classroom of Class 8 while listening to Mr. Gao’s scolding, maybe we may be pissing with Xiao Wei, Zhang, and Dapao in class, Liu Lao, and others, maybe discussing issues with Brother Wei and Li Yin and others about production, and maybe even involving the learning of C language, or maybe learning the content of the first year of high school in advance under the pressure of my mother. I have thought about all of these things.
But, can we go back?
"Yun! Did you see it last night? It's a meteor shower! The first time I saw it!" Early in the morning, Deng Xiaoping pulled Ye Yun and chatted. "I saw it, it's super beautiful. It's the first time I've seen it with my own eyes!" Ye Yun was also quite excited and nodded quickly.
"If I guess correctly, last night it should be the Lyra meteor shower in June." Pang Yan suddenly appeared beside the two of them. "How did Yanyan know?" Deng Xiaoping was surprised, and Pang Yan smiled. "Lyra is one of the most brilliant constellations in the North Sky Galaxy, and now it is June. You can know after contacting and thinking about it."
After Pang Yan said it, the two girls suddenly realized, "I didn't expect Yan Yan to know about meteor showers." Ye Yun blurted out, and felt embarrassed about her words. "I just saw it accidentally on the Internet. I remember it when I saw it was pretty. I didn't understand it in depth." Ye Yun deeply disbelief of Pang Yan's words.
"At what time did you see it?" Pang Yan thought about it and changed the subject.
"I'm nine o'clock! I wanted to close the window and see it accidentally when I finished my practice! It's super beautiful!" Deng Xiaoping, who had a watch, said first.
"I have the same time as Xiaoping, after all, I just came back from the bamboo forest during that time period."
"How many points are there?" As they were talking, I also got up, opened the window, and saw that the red sun had crossed the mountains and shone directly on me
"It's not good that the sun is coming out!" This time I definitely got up later than usual! I put on my clothes and took my sword and ran out of the door. When I went out to the corridor and looked down, many figures appeared.
It’s really not good. How dying I slept last night!
"Section Chief, why are you here?" Cheng Jiji heard a hurried voice in the corridor and turned around curiously. Cheng Jiji was so idle here, which also means it's really late now
"Jiji, it's just right!" I ran downstairs quickly, and he stood down and watched me running over.
"Jiji, do you have ten yuan? Urgently."
As soon as you opened your mouth, you would raise money. "Section Chief, you are so embarrassed to withdraw money." I was slaughtered by you a few months ago, but why did you come again
"Just ten yuan, it's nothing to you now. Don't worry about it if you asked for a treat a few months ago. I will return it to you when I get to the four silks in the future."
Section Chief, you are cruel! You are cruel enough! You probably forgot when you reach the fourth silk! Seeing Cheng Jiji's expressionless face, I guess he had scolded me all the time in his heart
From now on, I can go to Liang Chuan, but I actually borrowed Cheng Jiji's money so easily
I decided to keep the iron I got yesterday and then refine it. Cultivating the fourth silk is the most important thing, although collecting raw materials is also very important.
I still came to the top of the mountain, which was almost my cultivation base. "By the way, I didn't find this ordinary wooden sword special before." I brought the wooden sword I used when I went to practice last time to the mountain and looked carefully at the sunlight. "But it can be seen now." Strengthening the investigation of the wooden sword, now I can clearly see the spiritual skill silk distributed inside, clean and powerful. "It is worthy of being a thing made by Senior Sister Ling Jing, both clean and powerful."
"It's time to practice." I put the wooden sword into the savings bag and sat down and entered the ethereal state.
And there, because of studying medicine, Pang Yan couldn't always accompany everyone to practice. "Yan Yan doesn't follow us much anymore." Deng Xiaoping sat at the door of the mission center, looking at the only four people left.
"There are only four of us left." Cheng Jiji counted, and it was really only four of them.
"Suddenly I feel so empty." Ye Yun sighed helplessly. Now that Pang Yan is studying medicine, He Lan's unique training, there is nothing he can do about it.
"Let's take on this D-level mission!" Qian Zhixing didn't look at the atmosphere at all. He said this abrupt sound when everyone was depressed. "A D-level mission, go to the zinc mine to knock out the zinc 17 Ancor, which is accompanied by a weighed spiritual treasure, and the total reward is 1,000 fantasy coins. This task is prohibited from taking zinc. Once discovered, it is not allowed to do tasks for half a year." By the way, the task is read out without saying a word.
…………………………………
"We want us to go mining? Sixing, aren't you fucking!" Deng Xiaoping blurted out, while Qian Zhixing kept pointing to the place where a thousand fantasy coins were written on it. "Money is the most important!" Regardless of the matter, Cheng Jiji reached out behind Qian Zhixing and teared it off the task sticker.
"Jiji!" Seeing that Cheng Jiji was also making trouble with Qian Zhixing, Deng Xiaoping screamed directly, but once it was torn off, the task had to be completed.
"It would be great if the section chief was here, and it would be easy to know where the zinc was!" Ye Yun took the shovel and began to shovel the soil numbly.
In contrast to the depressedness of the two girls, the two boys actively shoveled soil from beginning to end, looking forward as if there was a big treasure, and their golden eyes revealed their desire for money.
"That's a thousand fantasy coins. Even if it's divided into four, it's still 25. You can be free for a while!" Cheng Jiji did not hide his heart. "Yes! How many bowls of Chu Ji powder can you eat!" Qian Zhixing couldn't resist the temptation, and like Cheng Jiji, he tried hard to shovel the soil forward like chicken blood, completely ignoring how dirty he was.
Is this crazy poor? When the two girls saw such an excited boy, they thought to themselves.
On the mountain
After practicing for almost a morning, I ended up working in vain again. Although it was difficult to practice, it was not difficult for a few people around me who practiced like drinking water!
"Wow! There's a zinc reaction! Dig it quickly!"
It seemed like Cheng Jiji's voice. Could it be that they were nearby? When I walked to the foot of the mountain, I saw a big hole.
What exactly happened to this?
"If you have a direction, you can dig!" Deng Xiaoping, who was still complaining just now, suddenly became energetic when she saw the reaction of zinc. She picked up the shovel and digged forward hard. Ye Yun behind her also began to show signs of exerting force. The eyes of the two boys at the front became even brighter, and they kept shouting "One thousand yuan! One thousand yuan! One thousand yuan!" in their mouths, and the frequency of their hands also became faster.
"Is this a mine disaster?"
I stood behind them, looking at the four of them covered in mud and felt ashamed. "Section Chief, why are you here?" Deng Xiaoping asked the question first. After Deng Xiaoping said that, Ye Yun also came to her senses and raised her head.
"Hey! Section Chief!"
"I just happened to pass by here." But the remaining two seemed to have not heard my voice, and were still digging forward desperately.
Ye Yun inserted the shovel into the soil, and supported her hand on the shovel and bent down. "We took a task. Just dig out the zinc stones of Seventeen Allah and you can get a thousand fantasy coins." Then she pointed to the front of the Formula Jiji Qian Zhixing. "Now there is zinc in the place they dug, and Lingbao will not make any mistakes." She wiped her forehead and showed her fatigue.
"There is zinc!" If you say this, there must be sphingoite! I took out the wooden sword from the savings bag and walked involuntarily towards the two of them.
"It's over, the section chief is going crazy together." Seeing my reaction, Ye Yun immediately thought of what was going to happen in the future.
"Get out of the way." After I said to the two people in front, they subconsciously avoided it. When they realized it, a red dot appeared in my mind, and then I pulled out the Yunge sword and slashed it downwards at this point.
"Wait for the section chief! You want..." Before Cheng Jiji finished speaking, my sword had already chopped down the red dot.
"Bang~" After this blow, the soil in front of him scattered everywhere, and it looked like a blast
"Section chief, don't do this! If the zinc inside is mixed with the water vapor in the air, hydrogen will be generated. As long as the hydrogen and oxygen are mixed to a certain proportion, it will explode violently due to blasting!" Deng Xiaoping, a representative of the chemistry class, was shocked when he saw this behavior. Others' faces turned blue after being explained by Deng Xiaoping.
"Is that true? But when I came in, I blocked the back. Don't worry about the new air coming in." I pointed my sword behind them, which was extremely dark.
"How can we breathe behind you if you block it?" Ye Yun said this with a dark face.
"So we have to hurry up and dig zinc, and I'm not really blasting, and now we're not far from zinc." I guaranteed that zinc is very close to us with my detection.
The four of them naturally breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to indignation
"Why didn't you say it earlier? I thought you had reached four silks!"
It seems that your focus is wrong!
………
"Sixteen Allahs, seventeen Allahs, it's time to finish the work." Of course, zinc was dug out by us, and a sea of silvery white and slightly light blue appeared before us.
"Section Chief, aren't you leaving? We've been here for a long time." Qian Zhixing put down the spiritual treasure and turned around and asked at the person who was looking for materials to bury his head.
"There is a rare sphincter there..." Faced with this mountain of zinc, I had no intention of talking to him, and I was busy picking up things and ignored him.
"Section Chief! Have you listened to me?"
"What were you just talking about?"
"I'll ask you, don't you leave?"
"Let's go, wait for me!" After packing up my things, I followed them, and the one in front of me had already started to explode.
When she came out, she felt that her breathing was much smoother than inside. "It felt much more comfortable to come out of the zinc mine." Deng Xiaoping, who just performed the blasting, was now retracting the knife back into the scabbard.
Qian Zhixing and I also came out of it. The first thing we did was to fill the soil. "Section Chief, what are you doing?" Deng Xiaoping, who had already done mining once, doesn't want to touch the soil anymore. I was surprised to see that I took the initiative to touch the soil.
"Don't be stupid. If you let this stay, it will no longer be pure zinc." Didn't these people have good chemistry scores at school? Why did they get confused when they got here?
"I thought that in the Fantasy Continent, chemistry did not exist." Cheng Jiji, who had joined the Filling Team, expressed my inner thoughts at the beginning.
This is exactly the same as I was when I first bought metal oxide materials. I naively thought that there would be no such thing as chemistry here. As a result, the newly bought cheap metal sodium did not return to the storage bag in time after being exposed to air, and finally turned into silver-white sodium oxide.
Of course, local substances follow chemical principles, and there are still many super-chemical raw materials in this continent.
