It had been almost 20 days since they started mining the Mithril ores, and Ye Ci felt that the time was a little too slow. However, she had no idea how long it took Golden Era to mine the Mithril ore in her previous life. After all, such a secretive matter was Golden Era's secret. There was no way Golden Era would tell anyone about it. Hence, when the fortress was being equipped with various defensive mechanisms, the guild's miners had already started mining with Molly and the other Dark Iron Dwarves.
Ye Ci did not expect the mining to take 20 days. In the beginning, she was still interested in asking Bai Mo if there was any Mithril in the mine. However, every time she received a negative answer, she stopped asking. She did not want to be on tenterhooks all the time. She only asked Bai Mo to let her know if there was any news. However, Bai Mo did not give her any good news. Ye Ci was not sure if she remembered the place wrongly, or if the Mithril ore vein was just a dream.
After days of indifference, Ye Ci began to treat the matter as if it did not exist. She did not expect Bai Mo to bring her good news. Ye Ci was stunned. She tapped on the City-recalling Stone, summoned Ol 'Six, and flew straight to the fortress.
Yolam was indeed a master architect. The fortress she designed looked no different from a normal fortress from the outside, but from the inside, it was extremely ingenious. At least in her past life, Ye Ci had helped defend several fortresses that were not as ingenious as this.
There were two Flying Stones in the entire building. However, one was used to enter the city, while the other was used to leave the city. The two Flying Stones were placed at the two ends of the city. The buildings around the Flying Stones "coincidentally" formed an intricate path around the city. If it was a first-timer, they might not be able to find a way out immediately even if they entered the Stronghold. Ye Ci flew to the north of the fortress, where Upwards Ho!'s first guild encampment was located. She walked into the five-storey encampment. There were not many people in the encampment, and only a few normal players were purchasing some BUFF from the NPCs in the encampment.
After reaching Lvl70, Ye Ci always wore a cloak and kept her pet. Hence, when she walked into the main hall, no one noticed her. They only treated her as a normal guild member. Ye Ci quickly walked up to the second floor's meeting room. Bai Mo and Timely Rain were already waiting for her.
"This is the first piece of Mithril we dug up. It's only Lv7, but it's more than enough to make Mithril Armor Plates." Bai Mo tossed the Mithril ore to Ye Ci. "We don't have a lot of Mithril ore, but it's a good thing that the ore will recover over time. We don't have to worry about wasting too much."
Ye Ci took the Mithril ore and checked its properties. She then placed it on the table. She looked up at Timely Rain and asked, "I've always wanted to know something. We sent so many Miners into the fortress. What if some of them don't hand over the Mithril?"
Timely Rain laughed, "I've thought about this before, but the system is obviously more comprehensive than us. Because we have to hand over a portion of the ore to the Dark Iron Dwarves, there's a Dark Iron Dwarf on the edge of the pit. The Miners we sent in have to sign in with him before they start mining. They'll receive a mining permission buff. Only with this buff can they mine Mithril. When the Miners are about to leave, they must also sign in with the Dark Iron Dwarf. Otherwise, with the mining buff, they won't be able to bring the ore out of the map. Furthermore, the ore can't be traded or discarded. Only after signing in will the mithril ore be unlocked. It can be traded, discarded, or taken away. It's precisely because of this Dark Iron Dwarf. We only need to go to this Dark Iron Dwarf to find out how much ore each miner mined. It's impossible for them to hide it. "
Ye Ci's doubts were answered. In fact, this was a problem she couldn't figure out. Golden Era was in charge of four Mithril ore veins and sent tens of thousands of Miners. With so many people, it was impossible to find out if they took away a few Mithril ore veins. However, all the Mithril ore on the market belonged to Golden Era. Ye Ci couldn't figure out this problem for a long time. How did Golden Era prevent the Mithril ore from being stolen? Now that she finally knew the answer, she sighed, "Sure enough, sometimes the computer is more rigorous than the human brain."
Ye Ci then asked about the daily output of Mithril ore. After that, she lowered her head and pondered. After a while, she looked up and asked Bai Mo, "What dungeon are you in now?"
"Recently, we've been in the outer area of Speechless City."
"Outer area?" Ye Ci thought for a while, "Is it the Plains of Betrayal?"
"Yup, that's the dungeon. But it's a little difficult. The monsters' damage is very high, especially their magic damage. This is a lvl65 dungeon. However, our party is basically equipped with lvl65 equipment. Even the mobs in this dungeon are having a hard time. The Healers are under a lot of pressure. A party of a hundred can still hold on against three mobs, but if we encounter more than three mobs at once, the Tanks will definitely be wiped out. " Bai Mo said, "I've already swapped out 30 Healers. If we add more Healers, our DPS won't be enough. Right now, everyone is basically killing mobs. We haven't even seen the boss yet."
"How many parties in our guild are exploring this dungeon?"
"Four parties are exploring the Plains of Betrayal. Three other parties are preparing to explore this dungeon." Bai Mo frowned and sighed, "But … I don't think it's going to be that easy." As he said that, he suddenly added, "However, now that we have Mithril ore, we can try to make some Mithril Armor Plates to wear on our bodies. This should increase our resistance."
"Do you know which dungeon the other guilds are in?" Ye Ci asked after pondering for a moment.
"Basically, they're all in the Plains of Betrayal. I had a meal with Sir Ditty the other day. He kept complaining to me, saying that they were also stuck in the Plains of Betrayal. He even changed parties a few times. The furthest they went was the boss. If they encountered a party leader, they were screwed. They couldn't even touch the boss." Bai Mo shook his head, "I don't know why, but it seems like the difficulty of dungeons after lvl65 has suddenly increased. I really can't beat it."
"If I remember correctly, five pieces of Mithril ore can be used to make a Mithril Shirt. How many people in the guild know how to make a Mithril Shirt Blueprint? "
"Seventeen," Timely Rain replied, "The Mithril Shirt Blueprint isn't hard to make. There are quite a few of them. You mean to make a Mithril Shirt? "
"Yup." Ye Ci nodded, "That's right."
"That's too extravagant!" Timely Rain immediately shook his head, "This is Mithril! If it's used to make armor plates, it'll be a blue grade armor plate. But if it's made into a shirt, it'll only be a white grade equipment. Moreover, it doesn't have any additional attributes. We don't lack ores that can increase our proficiency. Isn't it too extravagant to use this to practice? "
Ye Ci laughed, "Let's try making one first."
Timely Rain and Bai Mo looked at each other. They didn't know what Ye Ci was up to. Seeing their expressions, Ye Ci had no choice but to give a half-truth, "If Mithril armor plates have magic resistance, then Mithril Shirts should have magic resistance as well. After all, a shirt is worn on the whole body. It's much more than just armor plates. "
"… …" Bai Mo and Timely Rain looked at Ye Ci speechlessly. They were speechless.
Ye Ci stood up and smiled, "Cousin, just be a guinea pig. Make one and wear it in the Instance Dungeon. It's not like you'll lose a chunk of meat." She then walked outside, "Don't forget to tell me the effects when the time comes."
"You just came back. Where are you going?" Bai Mo looked at Ye Ci's back.
"I have something to do. I'll be leaving first." Ye Ci looked back at Bai Mo and suddenly remembered something. She tossed the key to the Red Monastery's secret room to Bai Mo, "The Boss of this Instance Dungeon is level 70. It mainly has poison attacks. This is where the shield drops. If you can't beat it in the Plains of Betrayal, then try your luck here. "
Bai Mo reached out and caught the key. He put it in his pocket and said, "What's wrong? You've already beaten it. Don't you have a guide? "
"The hardest part is the third stage." Ye Ci thought for a moment and then said with a mischievous smile, "Dear, it's a 360-degree Poison Spray attack. Dear, those with short legs are in for it. " Ye Ci turned around and left. She waved her hand as she walked away, "I'm really leaving this time. Don't forget to tell me the results of the experiment."
As she spoke, she had already walked to the window of the conference room. With her right hand on the window frame, she jumped out of the window neatly and disappeared without a trace.
Ye Ci landed on the street after jumping out of the window. Her next destination was the Kira Mountain Range in the Southern Continent. But before she went there, she had to contact Green Hill's Moon.
Green Hill's Moon might be able to put on airs in front of anyone, but in front of Ye Ci, he would always be an information broker. When Ye Ci contacted him, he immediately greeted her with a fawning attitude, "Hey, who's this? This is our Gongzi! You've taken the time out of your busy schedule to check on my work?"
"Green Hill's Moon, since when did you become so talkative?" Ye Ci creased her eyebrows.
"That's not talkative, that's slick." Green Hill's Moon was in a good mood, "I'm a businessman. I have to be happy to see anyone. Otherwise, people will complain about me."
Ye Ci pursed her lips. She did not want to waste any more time with Fleeting Time. Fleeting Time's words made sense. Idiocy is contagious. Thus, she ignored Green Hill's Moon's nonsense and went straight to the point. "Can you help me contact Lethal Poison?" If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
