All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

Deep in an unmanned mine, a young player with the appearance of a Xia national was standing in the bed of a standard mining mecha. He had just released a large amount of stolen ore from the space equipment when his body suddenly tilted and he fell on the ore at his feet, falling into a coma.

The air around him did not change immediately because of this sudden change. After several seconds, slight footsteps were heard beside the unconscious player's car. It was Wang Zhifan who was in invisible state.

"I was able to cure him by just freezing his brain with the power of ice... It seems his strength is average, but it also saves me from having to make subsequent response plans."

Wang Zhifan had already jumped onto the truck bed in front of him. He stretched out his left hand with a space ring to collect the ore piled in the truck bed, while quickly examining the equipment on the unconscious player. At the same time, he complained in his heart that this person was really weak.

There was no way. He had been prepared to fight the player for several rounds before making his move. However, he succeeded in his first attempt with the power of ice, causing the player to fall into a brief coma due to the freezing of his brain.

Of course, Wang Zhifan had no intention of killing this man. With his mastery of the power of ice, he would only cause the player to be unconscious for a short period of time. He would probably wake up in a minute at most after he left.

"The best equipment he has is only rare-grade? Never mind. I have plenty of rare-grade equipment. It seems there's really no need to kill people and rob them."

While filling the remaining capacity of the space ring with ore, Wang Zhifan also checked the equipment level of the ore thief. Overall, it was very poor. He didn't even have an excellent-level item. This made him completely lose all interest in anything else. He collected the ore and left quietly.

After that, he explored the northern mining area in secret again. Feeling that there was nothing worthy of special attention, he returned to his clone's location by entering and breaking dreams and continued to work as a mining supervisor.

So, by the afternoon of that day, the southern mining area he was in charge of seemed relatively peaceful, and no one came to seek revenge.

He also used the minerals in his space ring to resolve the dispute between the three miners. He said that he had found the real thief and recovered all their lost minerals.

"Such a boring dungeon... Is the core game of this dungeon just stealing ores and preventing them from being stolen? It took a whole month to finish it?"

At this moment, it was already evening. Wang Zhifan had just finished counting the work results of his miners at the entrance of the mine and was sighing in boredom.

Thanks to some of his extra work, his team's mining data is now very close to the full daily target, so as long as the days repeat like this, he will definitely have no problem passing the level, but the boredom level will reach an unprecedented level.

Just as he was thinking about whether to find a place to practice his skills, the communication watch on his wrist suddenly made a beeping sound, which was a reminder that someone was calling him.

"Who?"

Wang Zhifan found that the caller name displayed on the communication watch looked unfamiliar, so he immediately asked after answering the call.

"Captain of Mining Team No. 10! This is William Glenn, Captain of Mining Team No. 2! A large number of monsters have emerged from the ground in the northern mining area where we are! Requesting immediate support! Requesting immediate support!"

The voice of a middle-aged man came from the communication watch. He spoke in an urgent tone, and the unignorable sounds of mecha firing and unknown creatures howling in the background greatly increased the credibility of what he said.

"A monster came out from the ground? I didn't see anything underground when I checked this morning..."

For a moment, Wang Zhifan felt a little puzzled. He had been to the North District to explore a few hours ago. It stands to reason that in such a monotonous and barren environment for the survival of living things, it would be impossible for any large monsters to appear, because it simply did not make sense ecologically.

"Okay! Captain William! I'll be there soon!"

Although he was puzzled, Wang Zhifan still agreed and decided to go and take a look in person.

But before he went there, he sent a collective communication to his teammates:

"Attention all team members! A monster is suspected to have appeared in the mining area! Everyone enter a state of high alert! Start the maximum range patrol mode! Report any abnormal situation to me immediately!"

After the communication, he set off quickly to the northern area of ​​the mine. Using the Dream ego's clone as a springboard greatly shortened the travel time, but this also meant that he was traveling light and did not activate his captain-level combat mecha.

About half a minute after talking with the captain of Mining Team No. 2, Wang Zhifan arrived near his destination, an area deep in the northern part of the mine.

As soon as he came over, he heard very intensive gunfire, as well as the howling of monsters and the screams of humans, so he hurried over following the sound.

After passing through several winding and narrow mine tunnels, he finally saw the battle scene.

All I saw were strange snake-like monsters with no nose or eyes and only a big sharp mouth on their heads, charging towards a security guard of the No. 2 mining team in the narrow mine tunnel.

The security team member drove a combat mech and poured all his firepower into the monsters, but the monsters were thick-skinned and fearless, and were about to rush onto his mech under the bullets, putting his mech, which had already suffered considerable physical damage, in danger.

Originally, this narrow mine tunnel was very conducive to combat mechas opening fire and hitting monsters that had no room to dodge. However, the situation became the opposite when the monsters gained a combat advantage. The narrowness of the mine tunnel restricted the rapid movement of the mechas, making it impossible for the team member to escape the monsters' pursuit.

“Ah!!! Get out of here! Damn monsters! Get out of here!!!”

At the critical moment, Wang Zhifan saw that the guard was in a state of high tension. Seeing that firing could not stop the monsters' attack, he controlled the mech into close combat mode, letting the mech's powerful mechanical arm swing the giant slash to block the enemy, while trying to find a chance to escape from the enemy's encirclement and control the mech to turn around and escape. But the fierce monsters that could withstand the mech's firepower were not afraid of close combat. After the three monsters attacked and were cut in half by the giant slash, they only had half of their front bodies left, and they were still extremely ferocious. They actually jumped high from the ground with their internal organs at the broken end of their bodies, and hit the cockpit glass of the mech, causing spider web-like cracks on the tough cockpit glass, and the smelly body fluids of the monsters further obscured the sight of the mech operator.

At the same time, more monsters swarmed in from behind, trying to break through the shell of the mecha, which was already losing its accuracy and starting to shake. This frightened the mecha pilot so much that he actually opened the rear hatch and jumped out to escape.

This behavior is undoubtedly delivering food. If there is no external interference, it can be predicted that the security team member will be eaten by the monsters that have caught up with him in the next second. According to the size of the monsters' terrifying mouths, he is afraid that he will not be able to satisfy more than a few bites.

"Why would such ferocious creatures appear in this kind of mine? And there are so many of them? Could it be that they grow so big by eating rocks?"

At this life-threatening moment, Wang Zhifan, who had been observing for a few seconds, did not feel much urgency. He just felt that the whole thing was very strange, as if these creatures that were strong enough to resist some thermal weapons appeared in the mine out of thin air, which was very inconsistent with the survival logic of normal creatures.

But when the time came, he did not hesitate, and instantly activated the ice source power that he had already mastered to perfection. With just the right amount of energy consumption, he instantly killed all the monsters around him and saved the security team member who was supposed to die in the next second.

After all, the strength of these monsters is compared with that of ordinary combatants. In the eyes of someone as powerful as Wang Zhifan, they are just some stronger ants and are not worth his using weapons at all.

"Help! Help!"

The monsters were all destroyed in an instant, but the terrified security member of the No. 2 mining team was completely unaware. He rushed past Wang Zhifan like a fly, fearing that the monster behind him would chase and devour him, and he didn't even notice that there was silence behind him.

Wang Zhifan ignored the frightened man. With a flash of his figure, he crossed the space barrier, passed the section in front of the mine tunnel that was blocked by battle mechas and monster corpses, and went deeper.

After walking a few steps, passing by some unknown biological residues and body fluids on the ground, he heard the sounds of mecha firing and monster howling similar to before, so he quickly hurried over.

He found that in a relatively wide mine, a middle-aged white man, relying on a five-meter-high captain-level combat mecha, and four other team members operating ordinary combat mechas were fighting with their backs to the wall, protecting more than a dozen miners who were shivering behind them and between the stone walls.

It can be seen that the firepower of the captain-class mecha is much stronger than that of the ordinary-class mecha. It can effectively block the monsters that keep charging without fear of death and tear open their tough bodies efficiently. However, the number of monsters is too large. Even though they have left hundreds of corpses on the ground, they are still rushing forward on the corpses of their own kind, constantly consuming the ammunition of the five mechas and slowly closing the distance with them.

"Looks like I have to help solve this problem... But I won't use the power of ice this time. It may be difficult to explain to so many people. It's best to deal with it in a way that they can understand."

After observing the situation for a while, Wang Zhifan immediately started the rescue operation.

He first took out his own mecha Sirius from his personal space in a hidden place, then got into the cockpit of Sirius, controlled it to fly out, rushed towards the many monsters besieging the No. 2 mining team, and started a spectacular firepower pouring mode.

Sirius is the top-of-the-line individual combat mecha that Wang Zhifan specially purchased from the urban planet world. Its configuration in all aspects is not comparable to the mining team mecha in this copy. To put it bluntly, even if all the combat mechas of all 16 mining teams are combined together, they will be killed by a Sirius without any damage. The technological gap in scientific and technological creations is so unreasonable.

This also means that it is a piece of cake for Sirius to deal with the monsters in the mine. Its weapons are diverse, and the power of the basic machine gun alone is far beyond that of the captain-level mining team mecha. With just an ordinary strafing, one third of the monsters charging collectively on the ground were killed or injured. After two rounds of electromagnetic cannons to clear the field, the ferocious big-mouthed snakes were left with only a pile of unwillingly squirming meat.

When Wang Zhifan, driving the Sirius mecha, eliminated all the monsters in a few seconds like a god descending to earth, William Glenn, the captain of the No. 2 mining team who was fighting with all his might, was shocked. He sat in the cockpit of his captain-class combat mecha, staring in astonishment at the Sirius mecha that was slowly landing near them, and opened his mouth but could not utter a word.

This was an inevitable situation. From their perspective, this suddenly appearing combat mecha was not big in size, perhaps even smaller than an ordinary mining team mecha, but its firepower was beyond imagination. It was a terrifying level that they could not even dream of, and it completely broke their cognition.

"Captain William, are these the only monsters there are? Is there anywhere else that needs support?"

Finding that the people he was supporting did not speak, Wang Zhifan had to open the cabin door, identify himself, and ask them what to do next.

"Uh... there should still be a small amount left, but it's enough for us to deal with it ourselves... Thank you very much for coming to help!"

William Glenn, captain of the No. 2 mining team, immediately responded with a slightly excited expression.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. After you finish dealing with these monsters, I want to discuss the situation with you, Captain William."

Upon seeing this, Wang Zhifan left a word, closed the hatch, and drove away in the Sirius, returning to his own mining area for a thorough search.

Although his men have not reported encountering monsters in the mines so far, he has to be on guard, as they may have to face a similar emergency next time.

"On the way to the mining area, our mining team was attacked by a group of war mantises. Now the mining team next door has encountered an unknown monster that suddenly emerged from the ground... This dungeon is indeed as mentioned in the initial identity selection information. There are considerable potential dangers... But fortunately, these are just minor incidents at the moment. As long as I am careful, nothing will go wrong."

After experiencing the support battle just now, Wang Zhifan has become more and more familiar with the routine of this copy. He speculated that there will definitely be some trouble in the mine in the next few days, and it is very likely that some alien monsters will run out to show up. In that case, he has nothing to worry about. He is invincible in killing ordinary monsters and is the best at restraining them.

"Another potential risk factor is the players. Their abilities are hard to predict, and they are unscrupulous. In order to collect enough minerals to pass the level, they can't just rely on their own labor to mine. They will definitely find ways to cause trouble. I have to be prepared for the team to suffer a large loss of personnel, which will result in me not being able to pass the level at the end of the month."

In addition to monsters, Wang Zhifan also considered human factors, but he was mainly concerned about other players. Only players have enough power to cause trouble. Most of the NPCs in this dungeon are ordinary people, which is relatively easy for him to deal with. (End of this chapter)
