All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

The mining area that Wang Zhifan's team arrived at was not just a pristine mine cave, but in fact it was more like a small base.

After everyone got off the car, all they saw were large-scale man-made facilities, such as crushers, smelters, etc., as well as mine carts driving out of the mine, and members of other teams operating three-meter-high combat mechas patrolling back and forth.

"This time, the higher-ups arranged for us to dig the same mine as Mining Team No. 2! But they are responsible for the northern area, and we are responsible for the southern area! Remember not to go to the wrong place later!"

At this time, Wang Zhifan led everyone to the door of the mecha warehouse guarded by robots. After announcing the work location to everyone present, he arranged for them to start logging into their respective mechas.

First, the security team members entered the mecha warehouse in batches, boarded their combat mechas and got ready. Then, one hundred criminal miners boarded their respective mining mechas, drove the production tools out of the warehouse, and prepared to line up to enter the mine.

As the captain, Wang Zhifan also has his own combat mecha, and his mecha is of the most advanced military grade among everyone. However, he went into the warehouse, took a look at the thing and came out directly without choosing to land.

The reason was simple, he looked down on that stupid, big, black and rough guy and felt that it was inferior to his existing Sirius Mecha in every aspect. What's more, he didn't really need the assistance of the mecha and it would easily restrict his hands and feet.

So not long after, all his men drove their respective mechas into their workstations under his watchful eyes.

Among them, all the miners entered the mine. They drove two types of mining mechas with obviously different sizes, which were undoubtedly standard and advanced.

Most of the team members drove combat mechas in to supervise, while a small number stayed outside the mine to assist in guarding.

The standard mining mecha is only about two meters high and three meters long. The overall shape is a bit like a steel crab. The two mining claws in the front are responsible for crushing and grabbing ore, and there is a cargo box at the back for temporarily loading ore. The miner sits in the cockpit at the connection between the mining claws and the cargo box. It looks more like a weirdly shaped excavator than a mecha.

The advanced mining mecha is more humanoid, with a height of five meters and a trunk diameter of three meters. Its huge steel arms are sharp tools for grabbing ore, while its chest and stomach are used to temporarily load ore. As for the driver, he is in the cockpit that constitutes the head of the mecha.

In order to prevent the miners driving these two types of mining mechas, which are obviously very destructive at first glance, from causing trouble, the combat mechas controlled by the security team members are even more terrifying.

Although their combat mechas are not as huge as the advanced mining mechas, they are equipped with powerful weapons and electronic jammers specifically designed for mining mechas.

Once the miners use the mining mechas to cause trouble, the guards who rush over will instantly block the control of the mechas and turn them into lambs to be slaughtered.

"Captain, why don't you drive your own mecha? It would be very dangerous if you encounter falling rocks when entering the mine like this!"

When the miners drove the mining mechas obediently and entered the mine accompanied by security team members driving combat mechas, Wang Zhifan was still wearing the captain's uniform as he did at the beginning.

He walked on the ground towards the inside of the huge mine and was reminded by the team member responsible for guarding the exit of the mine.

"I don't want to open that thing today. You guys guard this place well and make sure other mining teams don't steal the minerals we mine."

After hearing a few casual instructions, Wang Zhifan walked into the huge mine ahead without looking back.

He is still very curious about this mining area. After all, he has never been to such a place before, and it feels a bit like a sightseeing tour.

In his field of vision, he could see that the mining area in front was very huge. The main passage of the mine was at least ten meters high and thirty meters wide, enough to accommodate multiple advanced mining mechas passing side by side.

In front of him, two truck-sized cube-shaped suspended automatic mine carts were rapidly approaching from the depths of the mine. The mine carts were filled with unknown ores of various colors, reflecting multiple layers of light under the illumination of the surrounding mining lamps.

Next to the mine cart, there were two members of another team operating combat mechas who were escorting the entire process. When they saw Wang Zhifan walk in without even turning on his mecha, the vigilance on their faces turned into surprise.

"We have to arrange bodyguards to guard the mines we send out, for fear that they will be robbed by other mining teams... This mining base is completely nonsense."

Seeing this scene, Wang Zhifan felt speechless. He felt more and more that this mining base was not a professional mining base, but a place specifically set up to make money. The various regulations and settings were not what a production enterprise should have at all.

But he had no intention of adjusting any suggestions. For him, successfully completing this copy was the most important thing.

"Perhaps robbing other people's mines is also a viable strategy to pass the level. We need to make some plans and preparations."

Turning around and watching the other team members escort the results of their hard work out, Wang Zhifan had this thought in his mind.

Generally speaking, with his personality, he doesn't like to steal from others. The fruits of his own labor are the sweetest. But sometimes, if conventional methods are simply impossible to pass, then special strategies have to be adopted. One cannot be suffocated to death by certain ideas of his own.

Time passed quickly. After walking through the nearly one-kilometer-long main road of the mine, Wang Zhifan soon arrived at the fork leading to the north and south mining areas.

There were also two team members he arranged to guard here. As soon as they saw him coming, they raised their hands and saluted him in the cockpit of the high-up battle mecha.

"Hello, Captain!"

"Hello, Captain!"

"Well, you guys stay here and notify me on your watch if there is any unexpected situation."

Wang Zhifan responded calmly when he saw this, not feeling at all disadvantaged because he seemed weak and frail without a mecha.

He looked up at the high-tech communication watch on his wrist, followed the location instructions on it and headed towards the target area. He began a detailed investigation of his miners, and his figure quickly disappeared into the depths of the huge and deep mine.

The first place he arrived at was the easternmost part of the southern part of the mining area. This was a mineral-rich area, and many kinds of ores were hidden deep in the stone walls. More than 30 miners under his command chose to drive mechas here and dig hard.

The leader was a black man who looked to be in his fifties. He was driving a five-meter-high advanced mining mecha. He used his hands and feet while working, shook his head, and hummed an ugly song. He looked very absorbed and intoxicated. He efficiently grabbed the ore from the pile of broken stones in front of him with the giant hands of the mecha and put it into the mecha's mining warehouse. He didn't notice anyone approaching from behind.

"Galka, a robber, has been undergoing labor reform at the base for twelve years, and is an elite miner."

The corresponding miner's information was displayed on Wang Zhifan's communication watch, indicating that this old black man was worthy of his care and was one of the main workers in his mining team.

He glanced at the information and walked away lightly without disturbing the old miner who was working hard.

The second group of people he inspected were two young white miners who were working together. They were both driving standard mining mechas, like two steel crabs working hard to dig a hole, and chatting while digging.

"Mike, have you noticed the new female miners who came today? One of them has a certain feeling for me. I plan to take her down within three days."

"Which one? I remember that they didn't look that good. But there are some new women in other teams who are really good-looking. They make me want to commit a crime..." "Who else could it be? It's that black girl with a big butt and big breasts..."

……

The two men were chatting enthusiastically and did not notice Wang Zhifan arriving from behind. Wang Zhifan secretly observed their work efficiency for a few seconds and felt that they still had a lot of room for improvement.

However, he did not punish the two men directly. Instead, he turned and left while notifying his men on his watch to deal with the situation. He ordered them to mine separately and put some pressure on them so that they would not be allowed to slack off.

Then, he came to the third group of miners in the surrounding area. There were also two young miners gathered here, but these two were even more excessive than the two who had just talked.

One of them was seen operating a standard mining mecha and digging slowly and intermittently, while the other simply stopped working and sat in the mecha cabin smoking. He was too lazy to even pretend to be perfunctory, and looked like he was here for vacation.

"David, it's so boring for us to keep going like this. Can't we find a way to defeat this damn base? I remember you mentioned that there are people outside who are interested in this place. We can just cooperate with them."

"Wait a little longer. That person hasn't sent me any messages in a few days. Let me get to know his plan first."

The two were talking in low voices when they suddenly felt a huge force coming from their bodies. They were almost thrown out of the mecha cockpit at the same time, and then whip shadows filled their field of vision.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
"what!!!"

"Tell you to be lazy!"

"Stop hitting me! I was wrong!"

"Are you still being lazy?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare, Boss!"

"what!!!"

……

It turned out that Wang Zhifan saw them slacking off just now, so he chose to punish them personally, using the captain's whip to let them know the consequences of not working hard.

The specific process was that he used the authority of the captain's communication watch to directly open the cockpit doors of the two people's mechas, then jumped up at inhuman speed, pulled them out, threw them on the ground, and whipped them severely with a whip.

During the whole process, the two young miners had no chance to react at all. They entered the stage of being punished before they even saw the person coming. Therefore, when they saw that the person wielding the whip was Wang Zhifan, they were quite stunned. They found it difficult to understand what had just happened and why the person was so elusive.

Wang Zhifan naturally didn't need to explain to them. He whipped them severely, warned them twice and left. He then notified his team members to come and supervise and ordered that if the two continued to slack off, the punishment would be further increased.

"David, that guy didn't drive the mecha! Let's fight him!"

When Wang Zhifan was leaving, one of the miners who was whipped and covered in wounds got up and looked at Wang Zhifan's receding back with resentment, wanting to urge his companions to start an attack with the mining mecha.

Because he found that this enemy appeared lightly equipped and had no powerful mecha protection, which meant that they could crush him even if they were driving a mining mecha.

"You're crazy! That kid is very strange! I suspect he is the legendary supernatural being! We absolutely cannot take any risks!"

Although the miner called David also felt unbearable pain and wanted to take revenge, he was knowledgeable and judged very critical information.

"A superpower? You mean he is..."

For a moment, the other person remembered what happened to the captain Wang Zhifan in the mining area along the way. It seemed that only a person with special abilities could explain why the other party was so unusual.

Otherwise it would be hard to explain his ridiculously good skills, as he could easily fight off the swarm of war mantises he encountered in the car before. The process of them being whipped just now was also very strange, as they had no chance to react before being pulled out of the mecha cockpit and severely beaten.

"Yes, this captain is definitely not someone you can mess with. We must be sure enough before we can take action against him."

Seeing his partner stop his impulsiveness, David responded in a low voice, suggesting that he would contact the unknown person for support.

But what these two people didn't know was that their conspiracy was completely exposed to Wang Zhifan's ears.

It’s not that Wang Zhifan could hear it very clearly from such a distance, but that he had just secretly arranged for a Mengwo clone to hide nearby to monitor the two people’s every move.

"A murderer, a swindler, and a so-called mysterious person actually want to subvert the mining base... Is there anything worth considering about this base?"

In the distance, Wang Zhifan couldn't help feeling confused when he heard the message from his clone.

He remembered the spy option in the identity selection at the beginning of the copy. Perhaps the mysterious man mentioned by the two miners with ulterior motives was the spy in the option.

But this leads to a question: why would this mining base, which seems like a joke, be targeted by spies? This is not even clearly stated in the spy's identity description.

"It doesn't matter. As long as I send out my clones to investigate secretly, I'll definitely figure it out sooner or later... It's more important to focus on clearing the dungeon... Let's put these two people on the death list first."

Wang Zhifan thought about it and sentenced the two people to a suspended death sentence.

This is because there is a death toll indicator in his captain's performance indicators. He must ensure that at least three criminal miners die every month, and the death toll cannot exceed 3.

Wang Zhifan originally thought that asking the security captain to kill his miners was to make an example of him so that the fittest would survive and promote mining efficiency, but now it seems that the situation may not be that simple.

“The mining quota of dead miners will not be cleared, so I'd better deal with them at the end of the month when I have used up their value... This copy is really sinister.”

After further thinking, Wang Zhifan found that there were many detailed problems in this copy, which must be considered comprehensively, otherwise it would be easy to lose sight of the big picture.

With these thoughts in mind, he then inspected the work of other miners under his command and divided the miners into three levels: key protection, enhanced supervision, and strict supervision. The people under strict supervision also included those who needed to be put on the death list. (End of this chapter)
