Old Pig patted Biaozi on the shoulder and sighed, "Let’s get to work. I’ll get busy now. Master Mang said we can only stay here for 48 hours. Let’s give it all we’ve got."
Biaozi gazed at Zhang Damei in the distance, who had already begun hacking at the ground with an axe, searching for anything that might be buried beneath. He sighed softly, secretly determined to make a decision once these days were over.
When he got back, he must eat 40 slices of bread every day!
Even if he had to stuff them in!
Ten slices of bread equaled one unit of iron ore, and a meat bun required one unit of iron ore.
Then, combined with the combat training virtual space, he aimed to quickly boost his physical quality to 13.5. He also wanted to operate mecha sooner.
It’s undeniable that the overall physical quality gain from long-term consumption of those bread slices is quite minimal. It’s been over ten days since he got the Iris Chip, and he’s been mining for ten days on the northernmost mountain of the Shahe Plain.
And his physical comprehensive quality had only increased from 12.1 to 12.2.
It can’t be said it didn’t improve, but it was very minimal.
At this rate, how long would it take him to increase his physical quality to 13.5? Moreover, there’s only one decimal point shown, with the rest hidden, meaning he doesn’t even know if it improved from 12.19 to 12.2, or from 12.10 to 12.2.
Biaozi gritted his teeth slightly, looking enviously at Zhang Damei who was operating the mecha in the distance. He could only eat more bread slices, a hundred of them, damn it!!!
He didn’t even know if eating more of these things would be useful or not.
After all, in the Doomsday...
Individual strength is always insignificant. Even with a physical comprehensive quality of 20.0, one burst from a heavy machine gun would still turn you into a blood mist. Didn’t Zhang Damei, despite being so sturdy in the arena, get knocked down by his Gatling burst?
No matter how high your physical quality is, it’s useless if you’re barehanded against a level 2 monster.
It’s just that when your physical quality is high, you have the opportunity to use some heavy individual weapons that require physical quality, like... mecha.
Chen Mang called Old Pig over and gave him a few instructions, then recorded the coordinates of this place on the control panel and slowly pushed the lever, heading deeper into the black fog.
The visibility at the mining site instantly dropped, with only dozens of flashlights providing much weaker illumination, and a crowd of Train Members, seeing the train leave, put down their work, their faces full of panic and couldn’t help but ask aloud.
"Where did Master Mang go?"
"Biao, what did Master Mang go to do, will he come back?"
"Did something happen?"
The initial excitement vanished, replaced entirely by anxiety and unease.
Initially, everyone was excited because cola was free these days, there were so many resources to mine, allowing them to earn more Fixed Star Coupons, and there was the thrill of reaching an unknown location.
But as the Constant Star Train departed, all these emotions turned to unease.
They didn’t know where they were.
A place where not even the moon or the sky could be seen, extremely dark, one could only see a void-like darkness when looking up. Initially, with the Constant Star Train stationed there, they felt very secure, but as soon as it left, everyone panicked.
If some monsters suddenly appeared, they could only wait for death, not even knowing where to escape.
Biaozi coldly held a loudspeaker and faced the crowd: "Look at the notice from President Ai in the upper left corner. Master Mang went deeper to continue the survey. There won’t be any monsters in this space, and everyone’s safety is guaranteed."
"Even if there’s danger, we’ll face it, and Master Mang will come too."
"Just keep mining with ease, as you were before."
"Are the minerals only up to level 3..."
In the barren and darkness-covered space, Chen Mang looked at the resource detection radar on the control panel and murmured. Although the two level 3 iron mines were already perfect, they weren’t the level 3 "Red Heart Rock" mine deep beneath the Tieling Wasteland.
That level 3 mine had a very low ore content, taking just over an hour to mine 180,000 units of Red Heart Rock.
These two level 3 iron mines had a very high ore content, up to several million units of iron ore, enough for 48 hours of mining.
He had been away for ten minutes.
Along the way, the resource detection radar kept beeping, there’s level 1 ore, level 2 ore everywhere, level 3 ore appeared occasionally, but he hadn’t encountered a level 4 ore.
"You’re familiar with this place. Are there level 4 minerals here?"
He turned his head to Doba, whom he had brought along as the only one, since Doba was considered a guide here.
Doba shook his head seriously, "My memory is somewhat blurred. I didn’t witness the fall of the Goblin Civilization. I didn’t live that long. Before I got to see that moment, I had already died." Newest update provided by novel⸺fire.net
"Many of my memories have been lost, with only a small portion retained."
"I only remember that at some point, every time I die, I would appear in this space, with many scattered items buried underground. I started building the goblin train after digging up a Train Order and a pickaxe."
"I don’t know exactly how big this place is either."
"I don’t know if there are level 4 minerals. I’ve never encountered level 4 minerals."
Chen Mang nodded, saying nothing more, just slightly furrowing his brow, and continued heading into the darkness. By now, he was far away from Biaozi and the others, having already lost contact. However, if there was any accident, if someone died, it would be shown on the train members list, which would also make it convenient for him to rush back immediately.
