87 Urgently in Need of Steel
Su Ming had some real-life experience, so he naturally knew that steel bars were the most suitable material to use when pouring cement.
As he thought about it, Su Ming frowned slightly. After thinking about it carefully, he realized something.
‘It seems that none of the tribes I own have suitable resources.’
Su Ming cast a glance at Dishan, whose face was filled with worry. He lifted his eyes slightly and said, “It’s fine. I’ll settle this.”
His voice was very straightforward. When Dishan heard this, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.
After he reacted, Dishan was overjoyed.
“That’s great. If you find any suitable materials, please let me know at once.”
Dishan had just finished speaking when a notification appeared in front of Su Ming.
[New mission: Help Dishan find consumables.]
[Mission reward: Dishan’s favorability, experience * unknown, Dishan’s forging skill.]
When he saw the task he had triggered, Su Ming quirked his eyebrows in surprise. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
In fact, it had been a long time since he had received any mission rewards from these NPCs.
However, now that he thought about it, it seemed that he had indeed been hanging out outside during this period of time, or he had directly led the tribe to fight.
Taking the initiative to do a mission felt like it had been a long time since Su Ming had done something like that.
The first two rewards for this task were not of much use to Su Ming.
With Dishan’s current trust and affection for him, it wouldn’t be of much use to increase it further.
As for the experience points, if he could get enough of them, they might be useful.
However, if it was not enough, then this reward could be ignored.
The last item was Dishan’s forging book.
This reward was something Su Ming had never expected.
In the current Elf Valley, even the very young Elves knew that Dishan was the person with the strongest forging and construction abilities in the entire Elf Valley.
Yet, a small task of looking for materials could actually get him Dishan’s forging technique.
This was something Su Ming did not expect.
Unless the real difficulty of this mission was much higher than it looked.
In that case, it was only reasonable to give such a reward.
With that thought in mind, Su Ming did not stay any longer. He turned around and left.
After searching for a while on the map, Su Ming headed toward an area with an extremely rich mine.
In his memory from his previous life, he remembered that there should be a steel resource mine in this area.
However, since Su Ming did not really need this steel material at the time, he did not really remember the specific direction.
He only roughly remembered that there were such resources in this area.
It would probably take some time to find the exact location.
With that thought in mind, Su Ming went to find Da Bai in the Elf Valley and brought along the Benben Turtle to head toward the resource mine.
After this Turtle evolved and developed wings, it seemed to be very curious about itself. It was not even willing to sit on Da Bai any longer, and it flew around in the sky.
Su Ming felt a little helpless, but he did not say anything.
The man and two beasts traveled for about an afternoon and arrived near the resource mine from the Elf Valley.
And this was their full speed.
Su Ming was naturally tempted by this place and wanted to occupy it.
However, this place was a little deserted, and it was too far away from the Elf Valley.
The Elf Valley was currently expanding, and they did not have the extra manpower and time to occupy this place.
That was why if Su Ming wanted to put this area under his name, he would at least have to wait until the expansion of their new town was complete.
As his mind raced, Su Ming’s hands did not stop moving. Very soon, he brought Da Bai and Benben to search for the location of the steel mine.
However, the first few mines were mostly stone mines, and that alone wasted a few hours of Su Ming’s time.
After all, the mines here had not yet been developed.
If he wanted to find out what was inside, he had to use the Turtle’s ability.
After the evolution, although the Turtle’s ability was much stronger than before, it was still difficult to support the mining of several mines.
An afternoon passed, and the man and two beasts still didn’t have any gains.
Su Ming sat down on the ground helplessly and pulled the exhausted book Turtle into his arms. He said helplessly, “Let’s rest for a while. It seems that this thing is not easy to find.”
“Ya!”
Indeed!
When Da Bai saw the man and Turtle in this state, it ran behind Su Ming and became his and Benben’s pillow.
After the man and two beasts rested for a while, the wind turned cold.
Just as Su Ming was about to get up and continue working, a rather shocking roar suddenly came from not too far away.
There was also the sound of metal clashing.
The sound was deafening, and Su Ming could even feel the ground trembling under the sound.
Su Ming was stunned. He stood up instinctively and looked into the distance.
He furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment before sitting on Da Bai’s back. At the same time, he picked up the Turtle and said, “Let’s go over there and take a look.”
Da Bai came to his senses and hurriedly rushed toward the source of the sound.
Soon, they arrived near a valley.
The valley was not large, only about a quarter of the size of the Elf Valley.
Su Ming stood at the entrance of the valley and looked inside. He saw two huge Steel Giants ramming into each other in the valley.
The two Steel Giants were about four to five meters tall.
Even from a distance, one could still feel the powerful and unparalleled pressure.
“Bang! Bang!”
The deafening sound of metal clashing against metal was heard continuously from the collision between the two of them.
Su Ming was stunned for a moment. A memory from the depths of his mind was quickly awakened.
He remembered.
The records he had seen about the steel mine did say that it was located in a Valley.
At the same time, there were two Steel Giants guarding it!
As he thought about it, Su Ming frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the Steel Giant again.
[Steel Giant * elite monster]
[Level: 50]
[Attack: 210]
[Defense: 700]
[Health points: 5000]
Su Ming opened his mouth, but he was slightly speechless.
The Steel Giant’s data was simply a little exaggerated.
With a defense power of 700, his arrow would not even be able to break through its defense.
Even if he could break it, it would probably only deal a pitiful amount of damage.
