Global Mining.

While Sariel was enjoying the worship and cheers from the whole city, the announcement of spring's escape was like a big pile of rat droppings that ruined the festive atmosphere! It was indescribably disgusting to see my name and his name listed up and down on the announcement.

The announcement was reported by a treasure hunter. There happened to be a gathering of treasure hunters in the Silver Sea, which instantly touched Sariel's sensitive nerves!

Sariel looked at the Black Iron Flower Favna, whose face was obviously wrong. His doubts in his heart became even more serious, so he stepped forward and asked directly: "Ms. Fafna, you have the right to handle the exile. You are responsible for the exile of this escapee." Right?"

Favna almost gritted her teeth: "Yes! He is really a superficial and ignorant waste. I hope this stupid escape can be stopped in time without causing catastrophic consequences."

Superficial and ignorant trash? With so many derogatory words in one sentence, this low evaluation is quite rare. But players who have access to the level of City Flower cannot be truly incompetent.

Sariel wanted to continue asking, but seeing that she was in a bad mood, he could only comfort him: "I'm sorry, I made the lady angry by asking questions that I shouldn't have asked..."

"Sir, don't get me wrong, it's this waste that makes me angry..."

At this moment, the butler announced: "Sir, the phone number of the Godly Financial Group."

Sariel chuckled: "Do you have any thoughts after seeing me get the whale? But there is no way I can give it back to him."

So he answered the phone with great interest: "Mr. Kamae?"

The young master said respectfully: "First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your glorious victory. I am here to report on the investigation. There are various signs that the disappearance of this whale is related to this spring."

Sariel's heart sank: "What's the sign?"

"This spring, the entire open beta will not be stationed at any regular mission points... On the first day of the game, we took the sewer secret passage out of the city. It is suspected that the nobles and dancers were involved in the smuggling of sperm whale spices..."

Sariel's brows twitched: "So, there is something wrong with this whale?"

"Don't get me wrong, sir. It's natural for you to get the whale. I'm just reminding you of some details."

Sariel smiled: "Thanks for the reminder, I will pay attention."

"Sorry to bother you, sir."

After ending the phone call, Sariel asked the butler: "What does he mean?"

The butler said without hesitation: "It sounds like he is trying to distance himself from the whale and deny the harm to the adults. But what he said makes sense. In fact, the safest way is to read the whale's memory data."

Sariel frowned: "Is it the development of mind reading? This is the ability of Gabriel and high-level nightmare demons, but Gabriel is still early. My privilege value is not enough, and it is not enough to mobilize high-level nightmares."

The butler said: "Actually, I don't recommend that you spend your precious privileges on this for the time being. Just like sir, you never care about the loyalty of company employees, as long as you can work and maintain it."

Sariel snorted: "Actually, I still care."

…

After ending the phone call with Sariel, the young master before God collapsed on the sofa with mixed feelings.

Although I was mentally prepared for the whale to disappear, it was still indescribably uncomfortable to see the whale being captured. The only thing he could do was to push Dachun out as a scapegoat to clear up the relationship. At the same time, he also wanted to use the privilege of the second person to investigate what was going on.

Of course, just by intuition, this Dachun is the biggest suspect. But if it was really Dachun who did it, it would be too terrifying to understand. How could he, an ordinary player, do it?

Or is this Dachun himself a front desk, and his task is to attract attention by making various trigger announcements, thus covering his real team behind the scenes? But the entire Black Iron City has been closely monitored with 300 leveling mission locations since the public beta. Who will be his team? Or maybe they left the city early from the sewers and found a secret mission leveling location...

At this moment, the water prison team had another sudden change: "The crystal bat killed too many people, and it has been upgraded and mutated!"

The young master is confused! It would have been so miserable without the mutation. They could only rely on giving away people constantly to buy time for other teams to dig the collapsed tunnel. Now that they have mutated, they won't give them any chance at all?

But some team members reminded: "Young Master, it is a good thing to be able to mutate! This will trigger the strong men of the Adventurer Association to come down and kill, so we simply don't dig tunnels, and concentrate all our manpower to continue giving away heads to the bats. , while continuing to mutate the bat, while consuming the bat’s physical strength until a strong one appears.”

Only then did the young master come back to his senses: "Then let's do it!"

But spending such a high price just to let the strong NPC pick it up makes the young master very unhappy. In this case, it's better to find an NPC with whom you have some connections and give him a favor.

The young master said: "Utakamaru Noto, please continue to find Count Ramil Khan and tell him that we found a mutated bat in the water cell at the bottom of the prison and ask him to send someone to kill it."

Udakamaru was in a dilemma: "Young Master, it must be difficult for me and the Count to have an unpleasant meeting."

The young master risked his life: "Just say that there is a magic stone in the water prison! Let him hire a professional treasure hunter. I want to know how powerful this count is."

Utakamaru said: "Young Master, I think the magic stone mutated bat alone may not be successful. This count seems to have some ideas about the origin of spices after attending Baron Fatty's spice banquet."

The young master frowned: "Do you mean to reveal the information about Spice Island to him?"

"yes!"

The young master was also helpless: "Then reveal it, and we must try our best to impress him."

I didn't get the big gift package, and it was really difficult to get things done after losing the leading advantage. Fortunately, my strategy did not rely entirely on the big gift package.

"Satakamaru Saito! Report on the progress of your warrior group."

"Report to the young master, the northern group has successfully arrived at Beicun Fishing Port and is ready to attack the fishman tribe when it reaches level 25. The western group encountered ogres blocking the road and it was very difficult. Fortunately, the caravan NPC of the western fortress would pass by every 5 hours to help us clear the field. The southern group was trapped in the southern canyon by the goblin army, but we have the terrain defense advantage..."

The young master was very pleased: "Progress steadily according to the plan! Be sure to take down these three villages!"

"Understood!"

...

3 am on April 3, 3 pm in the game world.

Dachun rowed all the way, drank all the physical potions, and took time to eat and drink water and food. What was coming finally came-system prompt: Congratulations! You are wise, blessed by luck, assisted by the sea spirit, and persevered in the weakness of the epidemic. Your boatmanship skill has been promoted to advanced level 1, and you have obtained the achievement rewards: +1 weight, +1 physical strength, and +1 spirit. You have obtained the "Three-day Newcomer Big Discount Blessing" reward achievement: +1 wisdom.

...

After upgrading to advanced level, the boat speed has increased again. But the proficiency has never increased again. This public beta god said that it is obviously the boat that limits the growth of skills.

Dachun looked back at the treasure hunting ship. The vision was blurred and it was not clear at all. The radar was not that far away, probably it was thrown away.

But Dachun did not dare to take it lightly. It was obviously abnormal that the other party chased a small boat for almost three hours. Even if it was not the magic gold, seeing his amazing "boatmanship", he must have thought that he had found a treasure. Would he give up so easily?

Finally, the Plague Island was in sight, and Dachun suddenly liked it. I really didn't expect it to become a safe refuge.

But treasure hunters are the kind who don't care about their lives. Is it really safe? Is there a possibility that the other party thinks that a newcomer like me can go in and out of Plague Island and row fast, and Plague Island is not as scary as the legend says?

When thinking of this possibility, Dachun felt uneasy: "Ailian, do you think this treasure hunting ship will quietly land when I am not paying attention?"

Ailian was stunned: "You mean, they will doubt the reputation of Plague Island? Isn't that great? You hide in the mine, and my radar is more effective in places with narrow terrain. They will definitely not be able to do anything to you. They will either be poisoned to death or die of plague. You will pick up a big ship, and maybe there are treasures on the ship."

It is worthy of being an evil spirit!

Dachun also risked it: "Okay! Since they dare to go up, let's go."

Back to the dock, tie up the boat, take back the sea soul, and four progress bars appear:

-System prompt: Unloading the sea soul and recycling it, please wait.

Fuck, I still have to wait for the unloading?

Well, even summoning pets and retrieving pets takes time.

Fortunately, the boat is not big, and it will be recycled in a few seconds.

Then I saw that the water and food that was previously covered with a broken box was still there.

To be honest, Dachun would rather hope that the water and food would suddenly disappear and be eaten by an unknown existence. This kind of world with no one is really uncomfortable.

After taking away some of the water and food, Dachun returned to the blacksmith shop on the street. Although he didn't have time to practice forging during the public beta, he often repaired hoes and was considered a frequent visitor to the blacksmith shop. He knew how to use various tools and molds.

After cleaning and preparing a rough outline, he lit the charcoal fire, and then the fire was blazing.

Dachun told Ailian: "I'm going to smelt magic gold. I can't see clearly, you help me watch it."

Ailian was obviously in high spirits: "If it doesn't work, I'll do it!"

Well, we must admit that gold has magic power for women! Not to mention that this is magic gold. But it's a bit of a waste for newcomers to practice, so it's better to keep two gold grains for great use after the skills are mastered.

As the gold grains melted into a ball on the mold, it was about to come:

- System prompt: Congratulations! You have smelted the super rare magic gold, you have successfully mastered the primary forging skill level 1, and you have obtained the achievement: +1 weight, +1 physical strength, and +1 spirit.

As the smelting progresses, the proficiency level soars, and the skills jump rapidly:

-System prompt: Congratulations! ... You have mastered the primary forging skill level 6...

-System prompt: Congratulations! ... You have mastered the intermediate forging skill level 1... Spirit +1.

-System prompt: Congratulations! ... You have mastered the intermediate forging skill level 2...

...

Fuck, this is magic gold! The exaggeration of this upgrade is second only to running directly from intermediate to expert!

-System prompt: Magic goldization is complete!

Once melted, pour the gold water into another cooling mold, clamp the mold into a basin of water to cool it.

After cooling, pour out a small gold nugget, and then use a small hammer to hammer it. This is the huge advantage of gold being soft and plastic, which is suitable for beginners to practice.

As the proficiency soared again, a ring that looked like neither a ring nor a circle was forged.

——System prompt: You forged an item that cannot be equipped, and the forging failed. The forging proficiency increased significantly.

Dachun checked the item properties: spell attack +30, mana +30, weight 3.

Damn, although it can't be equipped, it can be thrown! The physical attack of a mining pick is only 10 points, and this tiny bit of magic gold is 30. This is just a failed practice for a novice!

If it is a whole magic gold mine... then a world war must be launched!

In short, melt it down and try again.

The melting process increases proficiency again. After repeating it once, the intermediate forging skill reaches level 10! This momentum is simply unstoppable!

No suspense, the easy time that should come comes:

-System prompt: Congratulations! You are wise and blessed by luck. You forge rare magic gold tenaciously in the weakness of the epidemic. The forging skill is promoted to advanced level 1, and you get the achievement reward: weight +1, physical strength +1, and get the extra reward spirit +1. You get the "Three-day Newcomer Big Discount Blessing" reward achievement: wisdom +1.

It's so easy, it's probably no problem to rush to an expert?

Advanced level 2!

Advanced level 3...

Just when Dachun was enjoying it, there was a strange sound of a flock of crows on the street.

Dachun was suddenly startled. The crows didn't get startled by the clanging sound I knocked at the blacksmith shop!

Ailian immediately turned on the sonic radar. Under the infrared perspective, a tall and round human figure like a mecha appeared at the dock, with a big jar behind him!

This is clearly a fully enclosed pressure-resistant steel diving suit for deep diving?

Fuck! He actually used this to land on the island to prevent the plague! Why didn't he go to the moon? But this thing is heavier than the heaviest heavy armor. How powerful a master can wear it to hunt me? Then come to the mine to hunt me. I'll find a pit to bury the gold and see how awesome you are as a treasure hunter. Can you find it before the air is sucked out!

When Dachun was grabbing the gold and preparing to run away, Ailian discovered something strange again: "It's in the blacksmith shop! On the windowsill!"

Dachun suddenly found a vague little shadow on the radar, and he threw a fire tongs over in surprise.

The little shadow jumped down quickly, and a voice came from outside the wall: "Don't be nervous, let's talk!"

It can talk. Could this be the legendary treasure hunting pet that everyone in the thieves' guild has? It's like a robot dog with a remote control camera, and it can also be invisible. Is this the high-end treasure hunter?
