Chapter 238 Mining (×), Treasure Hunting ()

Ryan frowned slightly as he read the messages in the group.

Didn't he ask them to find the Big Rock Snake and Bosco Doraka? Why did they run into the underground tunnel? Could it be that they encountered some accident?
However, no Poké Balls have been sent to the Pokémon Teleporter yet, which means they are still safe now.

As for why they went to the underground tunnel, other players should ask for themselves.

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Ruofeng's news was sent out, several messages appeared below.

Grain Rice Crusted Rice: [Okay, okay, I let you slander me as a road idiot all day long, now I’m going to get retribution! 】

Yiye Zhiqiu: [Didn’t you complete the mission with the taciturn master?How could you get lost? 】

Jingle Bells: [Can a taciturn god also get lost?impossible. 】

Bo Yan Guimu: [I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious first. Let's talk about whether you are safe now, and then tell us what happened, so that we can help you find a solution. 】

Disco Top: [I also want to get lost in the game!Xiaozhi, look at the child! 】

[The Disco Top has been banned for 12 hours by the group leader, Last Night West Wind]

Bo Yan Gui Mu: [? ? ? 】

Bo Yan Guimu: [Why did you ban him again? He didn't bother Xiaozhi. You really have become a permissionless guy, right? 】

Last night Xifeng: [Sorry, I'm used to it, but he has never played games and cannot participate in our discussion. Let's unban him after we finish the discussion to prevent him from always interrupting. 】

Bo Yan Guimu: [You are a real dog. Fortunately, Little Gyro really likes this game, otherwise you would have made him withdraw from the group long ago. 】

Last night Xifeng: [I will apologize to him privately later. Let’s talk about the situation of Yanzi and I first. Together we took over Lord Ryan’s mission to find the Big Rock Snake and Boscodora, and then came to Iron Stone Mountain. . 】

Last night, West Wind: [The search for the Big Rock Snake went very smoothly. Although the Big Rock Snakes don't usually get together due to their huge size, they are still related to each other. As long as you find one Big Rock Snake, you can find the rest. The Big Rock Snake can also find the rest. He still remembered us, treated us very well, and gave us a piece of gold ore and a moon stone. 】

Yiye Zhiqiu: [Fuck!Is the Big Rock Snake so generous?Is this a hidden reward for the mission? 】

Bubble Teapot: [It should be because of the favorability. The big rock snake has a high favorability towards the seniors, so there are hidden rewards. 】

Jingle Bells: [How many times have I told you, there is no need to call us seniors so politely, just call us by our names. Damn it, why did West Wind's luck suddenly become so good? Say!Have you stolen my Xiyue’s luck? 】

Last night West Wind: [Suck a hammer!Can you please stop talking about me in such a perverted way in front of the newbie? 】

Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms: [Um, isn’t the point about gold ore?That's gold, maybe there are gold veins underneath! 】

Last night, West Wind: [This is the Pokémon world. What’s the use of gold? Why not give me some Pokémon coins? Moreover, Yanzi also said that having gold ore doesn’t mean there will be a large vein. What else could it be? 】

Silence: [It may be sporadic small mines. This kind of mineral vein has small reserves, scattered distribution, and low mining value. Even if it is mined, it must be refined, and the gold that can be obtained in the end is not much. It is a useless existence. For It's even more useless for us players. 】

Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms: [How does the Taciturn Master know that the gold mines in Tieshi Mountain are sporadic small mines? 】

Silent: [I'm just guessing. The big rock snake gave us the gold ore as a gift, which shows that it thinks this kind of stone is rare. With the big rock snake's digging ability, it can't find more gold ore, which is enough to prove it. The gold reserves in Tieshishan are very small and are relatively scattered. 】

Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms: [I see, I’ve been taught a lesson. I was also scared of poverty in the game. I got excited when I saw the gold. I forgot that what we need are elf coins. But you can report to Lord Ryan after you go back. In this case, maybe he will be interested in the news and give out more rewards. 】

Silent: [Okay, thank you Brother Mushroom for the reminder. 】

Chen Yan sent a message in the group to thank Brother Mushroom, but he didn't agree with what he said.

If it is an open-pit gold mine with rich reserves, then Ryan may be interested.

Even if Ryan knew about this sporadic small mine, he wouldn't be too happy, let alone any more rewards.

The reason is very simple. On the one hand, it is because it is difficult to mine such sporadic mineral veins. The game is set in the Middle Ages and mining technology is backward. Even with the help of Pokémon, it is not that easy to mine gold mines.

The key is that after the gold mine is dug out, it must be refined. The reserves are already low, and once refined, there will not be much gold left. The input and output are not proportional.

On the other hand, because Ryan should not be short of gold coins now, Chen Yan was not in the territory today, but he learned through the group message that the businessman's convoy came to Yinghuo Town again.

But this time it's not just passing by, it's more like coming to make a deal with Lord Lane.

Ever since he experienced the incident of rescuing a large milk tank and robbing supplies, Chen Yan had developed a strong interest in Guanhai City and conducted related investigations.

Although the information channels were blocked and he was unable to learn more information, he knew that the merchants in Guanhai City were very wealthy.

This time they come to Firefly Town to make a deal, which will definitely make Lord Ryan a huge profit.

After all, Lord Lane has too many good things in his hands, and just taking out any one of them can make businessmen spend money like crazy.

Therefore, their lord is not short of money recently, which can be seen from the fact that he hired a large number of indigenous people to build multiple facilities at the same time.

Instead of spending a long time refining a small amount of gold, it is better to earn gold coins easily by selling goods.

Of course, although he didn't agree with Brother Mushroom's opinion, he wouldn't refute it. He also kindly reminded him, so Chen Yan didn't explain too much and just thanked him.

Ryan also saw the news at this time. Just like Chen Yan thought, he was indeed not interested in the gold mine in Tieshi Mountain.

In fact, Ryan had long known that there was a gold mine in Iron Stone Mountain. He had rescued Kokodora from the tail of the big rock snake. In order to thank him, the big rock snake also gave him a piece of gold mine.

He was so excited at the time that he thought he was going to get rich, but then he thought about it. If there were really a lot of gold mines, how could the former Yinghuo Town and Tiethorn Town not discover them?
Both families sent people to mine iron stone mountains, and they must have dug gold ore, but they did not go to war over it, which is enough to explain the problem.

Either the two families regard gold as an external possession and disdain it, or the gold is not worth launching a large-scale war between the two families.

The former is a fantasy. Even Ryan's cheap dad knows the importance of money. It is impossible not to be tempted by gold, so it can only be the latter.

This is also true. White explained the situation of the gold mine to Lane, who returned to the territory.

When the gold mine was first discovered, the two families were at war with each other. Both wanted to divide Tieshi Mountain into their own territory, and war was about to break out.

Seeing that the war was about to break out, businessmen from Guanhai City who got the news from nowhere also came to Tieshi Mountain, and brought several experts in ore exploration with them.

They walked around for a few times and then left with disdain on their faces.

It turned out that they felt that the gold reserves in Tieshishan were too low and not worth mining.The two lords didn't believe it at first, thinking it was Guanhai City's plan, so they temporarily reached a cooperation and sent people to continue mining where the gold mine was discovered.

After mining for several days, only a small amount of gold ore was dug out, which was not worth a few gold coins.

The two lords believed the merchant's words and led the knights to evacuate Iron Stone Mountain. They did not need to start a war over this gold mine.

After listening to White's story, Lane also gave up the idea of ​​mining gold.

Even though he was short of money some time ago, Ryan never thought of mining gold mines. It was really not worth it.

Now that Ryan has earned a lot of gold coins, he is no longer interested in the so-called gold mines. He might as well leave the gold mines in Iron Rock Mountain as a surprise for mining players.

That's right, Ryan has figured out a way to make players willing to mine.

He plans to package mining as a treasure hunt to attract players to mine in Iron Stone Mountain.

Players only need to pay a ticket fee, and they can freely explore and mine in the mining area, and the ores and treasures dug belong to the players.

As for how Ryan gets the ore from the players, that's easy. He just needs to set up a recycling center outside the mining area.

Ryan will recycle the ore in the hands of players at a "fair" price. Most of the players are combat and adventure players, and the ore they mine is of no use. Naturally, they will sell it to the recycling department to recover some of the ticket money.

In doing so, it looks like Ryan is losing money, but in fact he is making a sure profit.

Because the price of the ticket is similar to the value of the ore that the player mines in a day, even if the player mines the ore for a day without stopping and sells it to the recycling center, he will not earn many Elf Coins after excluding the ticket price.

However, not every player can mine for a whole day, and they also need to rest, which means that the value of the ore they mine may not be worth the ticket price.

In other words, Ryan is not only using players' labor for free, but also frantically making money from players.

Then he's not afraid of cheating players so much that they won't come to mine?

In fact, Ryan is really not afraid. He knows the players very well. Players will be attracted to any activity with lottery attributes.

Treasure hunting in the mining area is also a form of lottery, and they will definitely enjoy it.

Every player believes that he is the European Emperor and can definitely dig up treasures in the mining area.

Little did they know that there were not many treasures left in Tieshi Mountain. After so many years of mining, all the various evolutionary stones and gems on the surface had been mined by the two towns, leaving only some deeply hidden treasures.

These treasures are buried in the nooks and crannies of Iron Stone Mountain and are difficult to find during normal mining. Ryan doesn't have the time to look for them slowly, so he plans to use the treasures as rewards to attract players.

Even if the European Emperor really digs out the treasure, Ryan will not lose. Don't forget, he is still earning ticket money from other players. This money is enough to make up for the loss of the treasure.

And these European kings will attract more players to the mining areas to mine and continue to work for free for Ryan, the evil capitalist.

What’s interesting is that instead of scolding Ryan for oppressing them, these players may even thank Ryan for opening the mining area and giving them a chance to hunt for treasure. This is called helping others count their money after being sold.

"How about making money by making games? As long as the game has a channel for exchanging elf coins and real money, I can cut players' leeks hard this time, and they will have to praise me for doing a good job."

Ryan murmured to himself, and couldn't help but recall the scene in his previous life where he spent money to draw cards.

"I'm still kind. All I'm getting is the elf coins in the game, and I'm using a wave of players' labor for nothing. It's rare to see such a kind-hearted game planner like me."

Ryan silently gave himself a thumbs up, and then looked at the messages in the chat group.

Players in the chat group are still discussing the generosity of the Big Rock Snake and the treasures in Iron Stone Mountain. They also want to go into the mountain to find treasures.

But Iron Stone Mountain is now nominally the private property of Ryan. They dare not go into the mountain privately to hunt for treasures, and can only hope that Ryan will open Iron Stone Mountain to them.

Ryan almost laughed out loud when he saw how eager they were to get their leeks cut.

It seems that it is a very wise decision for me to give most of the internal test places to college students!
Ryan suppressed a smile and then looked down.

Xu Ruofeng saw that the topic was gradually going away, so he quickly sent a message to draw everyone's attention back.

Last night Xifeng: [Brothers and sisters, we will talk about the treasure later. Can you please listen to me finish the question first! 】

Yiye Zhiqiu: [Sorry, sorry, I forgot about you, but when you tell the story, can you just talk about the key points and keep the story short. 】

Last night Xifeng: [A simple summary is that Yanzi and I said goodbye to the big rock snake and came to the depths of Tieshi Mountain. We met an elephant and rolled towards us when we disagreed. We couldn't fight it. It ran away and fell into a pit. Don't go, just walk along the pit, get lost, that's it! 】

One Leaf Knows Autumn: [.Okay, it’s concise enough. 】

Bo Yan Guimu: [No, what the hell is an elephant? ! 】

Last night Xifeng: [That Pokémon looks like an elephant, and it can roll itself up. I thought it was going to roll on COS wheels!As a result, it rolled towards us. If it hadn't been difficult for it to turn and we happened to fall into the pit, we might have died today. 】

Yiye Zhiqiu: [Why does it hit you for no reason?Didn't you mess with it? 】

Last night West Wind: [How dare we? Normally I might have done it, but we are taking Coco Dora with us on this mission. If something happens to it, Lord Ryan will not let us go, so we have been very cautious. Be careful, it's impossible to mess with it. 】

The little skeleton who loves planting trees: [That's a bit strange, but fortunately you are okay. It seems that falling into the pit is not a bad thing. At least you have avoided the pursuit of that Pokémon. 】

Last night Xifeng: [Yes, luckily there is a pit, otherwise wait!Little Skull, how come you speak so smoothly? 】

The little skeleton who loves to plant trees: 【.】

One leaf knows autumn:【.】

Bo Yan Gui Mu: 【.】

【.】

Ryan looked at the ellipsis on the screen in the chat group, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Why did I choose a fool to be the first batch of closed beta players?
