Chapter 3 Double the amount of tasks
After a while, several people left in despair.

In Ye Ming's hand, there were a few more compressed biscuits that he borrowed.

He didn't do this for revenge, but he felt that he was indeed hungrier than usual. He didn't feel it at first, but after he punched it, it seemed to turn on an incredible switch.

Maybe it's because of the enhanced physique?

Ye Ming could only think of this possibility.

Although the biscuits will not be delicious because of the increase in quantity, in order to satisfy my hunger, I can only swallow it.

While he was eating compressed biscuits, his roommates came back one after another.

Ye Ming clearly felt that they looked at him with a little more awe. Usually they don't communicate much, so this change is very obvious.

This is actually very easy to understand.

His roommates all knew that Borg had been here, and they all waited outside for Borg to leave before they dared to come back.

So naturally, he has also seen the horror of Borg.

Ye Ming wouldn't care about their changes either.

Early the next morning, the familiar ringtone woke everyone up again.

When passing through the mechanical door again, Ye Ming was stopped by a supervisor.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

Ye Ming looked at the fat supervisor, but he already had a guess in his mind.

The fat supervisor said expressionlessly:

"You need to turn in the six-star scale ore today."

"why?"

Ye Ming frowned.

The fat supervisor said indifferently: "You injured Borg, which made him unable to work today. You need to make up his share of ore."

"I understand."

Ye Ming agreed with a sullen face.

He knew it was revenge from the Borg.

With the prompt in front of him, he won't have any problem digging double copies of the task indicators.

But Ye Ming understands that he has always held grudges.

"Go away if you understand!"

The fat supervisor waved his hands impatiently, his eyes full of disgust.

Most of the other miners were not surprised, and a small number of people showed a look of gloating.

They all subconsciously kept a distance from Ye Ming.

On the way to the mine, Ye Ming saw several teams of heavily armed imperial soldiers in the distance.

"The patrol force seems to be strengthened today..."

Ye Ming looked back calmly.

In the past, there was usually only one team of soldiers patrolling, but today there are five teams. Something must have happened.

The truth is temporarily unknown.

Ye Ming entered the mine again to start today's work. After arriving in the mine, he actually felt a little free.

Overseers will not risk being corrupted to enter the mine to supervise them.

As long as the daily quota can be met, no one cares about what to do.

Ye Ming found a corner today where he could not see other people.

"It's best not to dig. If you're really curious, you can try it."

Such a line of subtitles appeared in the immediate field of vision.

Ye Ming changed places without even thinking about it. He doesn't have the ability to satisfy his curiosity now.

Everyone in the Ao Neng Mine knows that the dangers in the Ao Neng Mine are not only the erosion and corruption of the Ao Neng, but also the strange creatures sleeping in the Ao Neng Mine.

It's just that Ye Ming hasn't seen it yet. The last time this strange creature was dug up in this mine was five years ago. It is said that many miners died at that time, and finally the arcanist who was in charge of the base took action to solve the thing.

There are also arcanists sitting in the base now, but miners like them are not qualified to see them.

After changing positions, Ye Ming finally dug today's first ore.

He didn't dig it out, but put his hand on it directly, his body devoured the huge arcane energy like a bottomless pit, and a faint light flashed in Ye Ming's eyes.

Arcane Charge: 10%.

Increase so much at once?

Ye Ming was shocked when he saw this progress bar. How much arcane ore did he absorb just now?
According to this progress, it will not take long for the charge to be completed.

Not sure what will change.

"A miner can directly absorb the arcane energy in the ore? Boy, tell me how you did it."

At this moment, a gloomy voice came from Ye Ming's side.

Ye Ming froze, when did this person appear?

He didn't even notice it!
"Heh, I don't want to say that I can only kill you and search your memory by myself."

The man didn't give Ye Ming a chance to speak at all, and directly reached out and grabbed Ye Ming's forehead.

Ye Ming's head buzzed, and the coldness invaded his mind, as if to freeze his thinking together, he didn't even have time to think.

This is an Arcanist!

Such a thought flashed through Ye Ming's mind, and his thoughts became extremely slow, but his strong desire to survive still supported him to raise the shovel in his hand and smash it back with all his strength.

There was a faint blue light on the shovel, but Ye Ming himself hadn't noticed it.

The figure in the dark felt the fluctuation of the arcane energy, and his eyes widened suddenly, but he never thought that the other party could drive the arcane energy.

He observed for a long time on the side, and determined that this guy was just an ordinary person.

But at this moment, the shovel carrying arcane energy had passed through his chest, shattering his arcane core, and his vitality was rapidly disappearing.

Ye Ming felt his consciousness gradually regaining consciousness. Looking back, he saw the man lying on the ground with his shovel still stuck in his chest.

Before he died, his eyes were wide open. He never thought that he escaped the roundup of the imperial soldiers, but died at the hands of a miner in the end.

Being crushed with a shovel to the arcane core, this way of death is simply a shame for an arcanist!

He suddenly regretted that he shouldn't be greedy.

But he also knew that anyone else would make the same choice as him.

Just imagine, when you are seriously injured, you are in the arcane mine, and you find that someone can directly absorb the arcane energy in the arcane ore, and the other party is just an ordinary miner!
As long as he can get a way to absorb the arcane mine, not only can he recover quickly from his injuries, but he can also directly use the ore here to further improve his own strength.

What arcanist could resist such a temptation?
"Isn't he dead yet?"

Soon, what frightened him even more was that the boy whispered in doubt.

Then he pulled out the shovel and hit him on the head again.

……

"I...killed?"

Only then did Ye Ming realize what he had done. Just now he acted almost instinctively in order to survive.

He sat down against the stone wall and looked at the man who died in a miserable state.

His heart was beating violently at this moment, this was his first time killing someone, there was no fear, only the joy of remaining alive after the catastrophe.

At the same time, he noticed that the progress bar in his field of vision had changed to 5%, half of which had been consumed just now.

But it's not a pity, if he hadn't consumed these arcane energy, he wouldn't have been able to kill an arcanist just now with the shovel.

But what to do with the corpse?
Ye Ming glanced outside the tunnel, but no one noticed the movement here. Amid the repeated excavation sounds, the movement he just made was not too big.

He rested against the stone wall for a while, and finally set his sights on the corpse.

Before disposing of the corpse, there is another important link, which is to inspect the loot.

Commonly known as touching the corpse.
