The first forty levels of the mine were all normal soil layers.
But once they reached the fourteenth floor and above …
It turned into a frozen soil layer.
It was as if they had changed their skin.
The low temperature in the cave made Irin understand that the sudden change in the cave's style was not an illusion.
One … Oh no, it was a group of [Frozen Slimes]. With smiles on their faces, they pounced on Irin while panting.
Needless to say, at a glance, this group of monsters was a little cute, making people not want to attack them …
"Bang Bang Bang Bang –"
[Chaos Value + 4!]
[Chaos Value + 5!]
[Chaos Value + 4!]
When the thought of "not having the heart to attack" appeared in Irin's mind, there was a pause. The "psionic bullets" in the barrel that had been prepared long ago were released at the group of Frozen Slimes non-stop.
"If you guys were a second earlier, you wouldn't have to die."
[Frozen Slimes] were similar to other types of slimes. The thing that they dropped was [Slime Mud].
After clearing the monsters in front of him, Irin stepped on the sticky liquid and strolled in the mine.
In the darkness, there were small eyes that were retreating, dodging, panicking, and hesitating.
They … were afraid.
"Oh, I almost forgot."
In the middle to late autumn, other than the normal farmer activities such as farming, harvesting vegetables, frying fish ponds, and harvesting wool, Irin worked hard for only two things.
First, to make bombs.
After the [Bomb] formula was unlocked, the main materials were coal and iron ore. It could be made on the craftsman's table. It was extremely cost-effective.
Not only could it save psionic energy value, but it also didn't have to worry about the mine collapsing. Therefore, Irin had a lot of psionic energy stored.
Second, to cook.
For an entire autumn.
Most of the time, he was cooking on the stove.
Who knew how he had managed to survive this autumn in the face of smoke and fire!
…
[Lucky Lunch]
[Grade] Rare
[Recipe] Sea Cucumber x1, Burrito x1, Blue Jue x1.
[Effect] Greatly recover physical strength, Luck + 3, Duration: 16 hours.
[Description] A special and simple meal.
…
[Miner's Special]
[Grade] Rare
[Recipe] Cave Radish x2, Sugar x1, Any milk x1
[Effect] Greatly recover physical strength, mining power + 3. Duration: 8 hours.
[Description] Don't ask what mining power is. It will increase your grip strength. In the mine, other than weapons, it will be your best companion, even in the lonely night.
…
These recipes were not as simple as throwing the ingredients into the pot and opening the lid with a 'ding' sound.
Irin had spent a lot of effort on these dishes.
Take the [Lucky Lunch] as an example. He had to cook the [Sea Cucumber] on top of the [Burrito]. Cooking it was also very particular. If it was stewed for more than a minute, it would be soft, and if it was stewed for less than a minute, it would be hard. It had to be a "cooked sea cucumber" that was just right. Then, with exquisite knife skills, it would be carved into the shape of a "lucky pentagram" and spread on the pancake. Finally, after roasting the Blue Noble, he carefully ground it into powder and sprinkled it evenly. Only then could the dish be considered complete.
The [Lucky Lunch] had the crispness of tortillas, the freshness of the sea in the crispness, and the delicate fragrance of the blue baron flower. It was a delicacy that was worthy of praise.
Only dishes made according to the recipe perfectly would have the temporary buff of [Luck + 3].
[Miner's Special] was even more ridiculous.
He had to grind the cave radish into a paste in advance and mix it with milk. Then, he had to start a new stove and boil the "sugar" until it was drawn. He had to be careful here. If he overcooked the syrup … it would become caramel. He had to pour the mixture of milk and radish into the 6.5% hot syrup. After stirring it thoroughly, he had to pour it into a round grinding tool and let it cool until it was shaped. Finally, he had to insert a stick into it to make it into the shape of a lollipop.
He could not make any mistakes, or else it would not be a successful dish.
Crunch.
Irin chewed the [Miner's Special] in one bite. The sweet taste of milk spread in his mouth, and a taste that could cleanse his soul surged to his brain.
"My power is surging!"
[Luck + 3]!
[Mining Power + 3]!
A buff was added.
Irin was not too sure what mining power was.
Anyway, this attribute was not in the apostle's regular interface.
However, his luck value had been added to it.
With the addition of the cooking buff, Irin's luck value broke through the 5.2 mark.
Irin was so touched that he had nothing to say.
God knew that he had never experienced the feeling of breaking through 5 points of luck value.
"Crack!"
Loaded!
Six bullets!
Since the monsters did not come, Irin took the initiative to rush into the group of monsters.
The pitiful slimes had their positions reversed in an instant. They went from monsters that pounced on farmers to cute things that farmers pounced on.
Bang!
"Chi!"
After this shot was fired, the muzzle of the gun blossomed with bright fireworks.
A white ray of light pierced through more than a dozen [Frozen Slimes] and finally disappeared into the ice wall of the mine.
Irin was stunned.
On the dual revolvers [Destruction and Redemption], [Psionic Bullet] was the most basic attack method. It was equivalent to a normal attack.
But [Psionic Bullet], although it was normal, was also a little special.
…
[Special] had a certain probability of triggering the complete penetration effect of [Heart-Piercing], which could shoot through all creatures in a straight line.
…
[Psionic Bullet], as a normal attack, also had a probability of triggering the effect. But Irin had never triggered it before.
After the increase of his luck value, this trigger effect finally had a place to be used.
Whether it was used to farm monsters or save psionic energy value, it was very useful.
This sudden explosion made Irin so happy that he almost cried out in a dolphin voice.
It was too good!
"Bombs" floated out of Irin's farmer backpack one after another.
Chi Chi Chi –
The fuses were ignited, and the bombs floated to the corners of the mine where the ores were densely packed.
Irin looked at the [Frozen Slimes], [Frost Bats], and [Evil Sand Spirits] that were shivering in front of him. His smile was bright, and his two rows of neat teeth were even more dazzling under the faint light than the slimes.
"Next,"
"It's time to kill."
"Yo ~"
…
…
For the next few days.
Irin worked hard and farmed the mine.
He worked at sunrise and only returned late at night.
Ever since the mage lived with him, he no longer had to waste time every day and specially make a trip to the mage tower.
Every morning, he only had to go to the sewers and buy a limited number of [Void Essence] and [Sun Essence]. After stuffing them into the mage's trouser pocket, he was done happily and left with a flick of his sleeves, hiding his achievements and fame.
In order to increase efficiency, Irin even persuaded the mage to help put feed in the chicken coop and cowshed.
At first, the mage was not willing.
He refused no matter what.
The awesome Supreme Mage, Rasmodeus Stephen Strange, felt that helping out with the farm work was a disgrace to him.
But when Irin put the "essences" that had been accumulated for a few days into a sack and threw it in front of the mage supreme, the arrogant curly-haired mage finally lowered his head, indicating that he was determined to complete the task.
The favorability of the mage supreme increased day by day, accumulating little by little.
Although each [Void Essence] and [Sun Essence] only increased favorability by the lowest standard of "+ 1" point … the mage supreme couldn't stand the large amount!
Irin gave too much!
In order to extract the essence of the "Drawing Circle Teleportation Spell" from the mage supreme, Irin could be said to have grown livers all over his body. His entire spirit and energy had changed.
Sometimes, the way the mage supreme looked at Irin when he woke up in the morning became a little strange, as if he was staring at a sucker. This made Irin feel that something was wrong.
"Cough cough, pay attention, pay attention."
Irin looked away, kindly reminding the mage supreme to pay attention to his image, maintain his cool, and not do anything out of line.
Winter of the first year, the third day.
Irin finally reached the seventieth level of the mine.
The treasure chest on the seventieth level was finally not taken away by anyone in advance. It quietly stayed on the seventieth level, waiting for Irin to take it.
It seemed that Irin had unknowingly surpassed Yan Cao's progress.
It was worth celebrating.
In the treasure chest, Irin opened a piece of equipment.
…
[Advanced Slingshot]
[Grade] Rare
[Durability] 500500
[Effect] Any "ammunition" ejected from the slingshot will have a speed of + 100%.
[Description] You can eject anything that looks like "ammunition"! Just shoot it and it's done!
…
Irin's hand trembled.
[Advanced Slingshot] turned into a card.
On the front of the card was a slingshot.
The design of the card couldn't be compared to an epic-level equipment, but it was barely acceptable.
"Sure enough, 'equipment' can be brought out completely. No wonder Yan Cao was so keen on mining. He must have discovered it long ago. "
"But, if I can't leave alive in the end, what's the use of bringing out all the equipment?"
Irin thought for a moment in the open space on the seventieth level, then smiled and put the card into the storage space.
…
Winter of the first year, the sixth day.
…
Irin chewed on [Miner's Special] and [Lucky Lunch] while happily farming [Frozen Slimes], [Frost Bats], [Evil Sand Spirits], [Ghosts], and [Skeletons]. He bombarded all the way from the 71st level to the 79th level.
Congratulations to the [Ghosts] and [Skeletons] for joining the "Alliance Persecuted by the Irin of the Agriculture Sect".
The chest on the 80th level quietly waited for Irin's arrival.
He opened it and saw a pair of red boots.
…
[Fire Walker Boots]
[Grade] Rare
[Durability] 500500
[Effect] With this, your feet can withstand high temperatures. Of course, you can also walk upside down with it on your hands.
[Description] When wearing it in a hot environment, remember to take it off from time to time to breathe. Otherwise, you might get serious athlete's foot. Bear the consequences.
…
What a mediocre new equipment!
This attribute was in line with the "Rare" attribute. It wasn't too outrageous.
But what was the meaning of having such a pair of heat-resistant equipment in a cold mine?
He looked at the time. It was getting late.
Late at night, one in the morning.
It was time to go home, wash up, and sleep.
Before leaving, Irin prepared to take a look at the next level.
Irin didn't know when he had developed such a good habit. He was an old miner.
He had just climbed down the stairs.
A dry and hot wind was roasting Irin's butt.
His upper body could still feel the low temperature of the mine above, but his lower body was roasting like it was on a bonfire.
The feeling of being roasted by ice and fire was very refreshing.
No wonder the 80th level gave him a pair of heat-resistant equipment.
It turned out that there were magma mines after the 80th level.
