The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe

Chapter 136: Perfectly Arranged


Hearing Sea Flip's inquiry, the other players couldn't help but slow down their pace and looked over curiously.

Obviously, everyone wants to know now, what exactly are the mining rewards?

How do they compare to the previous rewards for gathering Magic Potion on Newbie Island?

Seeing the expectant eyes of everyone, Mr. Zhou wasted no time and directly said, "My cart yielded 3 Silver Coins, 3 experience points, and 3 points."

"These rewards are still quite impressive, not something that gathering Magic Potion on Newbie Island can compare to."

"Clearly, coming to the Underground City means we've already moved past the newbie category and are among the first official players of this game."

Hearing Mr. Zhou's words, the players present glanced at each other and then their eyes slightly lit up.

Sea Flip reached out, touched the Magic Crystal Ore on the mining cart in front of him, and then said, "Is this really so great? Just one trip gives 3 Silver Coins, 3 experience points, and 3 points."

"At this rate, the day's rewards are quite substantial."

The other players nodded in agreement at these words, each filled with motivation and eager to transport their ores quickly to submit and then hurry back to continue mining.

Seeing the state of these players, Mr. Zhou didn't say much more and told them, "You guys go submit your ores fast, I'll head out first."

With that, he pushed his now-empty mining cart and quickly headed towards the exit and entrance passage.

He was busy looking for the land he had his eye on and didn't have time to waste with these players.

And hearing Mr. Zhou's words, these players were also eager to rush to the Royal Palace to get their rewards as soon as possible.

Mr. Zhou quickly arrived at the second underground level and then started patrolling near the exit and entrance passage.

Before long, he found a few houses that caught his eye.

These houses appeared much more complete and taller compared to the other nearby houses.

And with a little attempt, Mr. Zhou could feel that the building materials of these houses were slightly better than the others.

He pondered for a moment and made some guesses.

These houses were likely the residences of slaves from various resource factories on the third underground level.

Previously, when rescuing those slaves, it was evident that those producing various resources in the factories, although still skinny, were noticeably bulkier than the normal slaves.

Moreover, their injuries were all minor, unlike the severe injuries of ordinary slaves.

Clearly, those who managed the resource production slaves were still relatively favorable towards them.

Of course, this was only compared to the ordinary slaves.

Judging from their skinny figures and minor injuries, it was apparent that life wasn't easy for them either.

Mr. Zhou compared these houses slightly and quickly picked the most suitable one.

He measured it roughly and found that this house occupied about sixty-five square meters.

Since the houses on the second underground level were meant for slaves, they were generally quite small.

Some were even just ten or so square meters.

Therefore, this sixty-five square meter house was undoubtedly among the best here.

According to the current land price of 9 Silver Coins per square meter, purchasing this house would cost 585 Silver Coins.

For Mr. Zhou at the moment, it was a bit expensive.

But choosing another house was not an option for him because this was the best one.

If the house were dismantled, many building materials could be recycled and reused.

Fang Ka had previously mentioned to him that various factories on the third underground level were available for lease.

This indicated that resources here were clearly not free to use, unlike on Newbie Island.

If they needed building materials, they would either have to spend money to lease a factory and produce them themselves or directly purchase finished products at a cost.

Buying this house would undoubtedly save a lot of money.

Moreover, this house was located in the most prominent spot beside the exit and entrance passage.

If one were to set up a stall for business, it would definitely be a prime choice.

If land prices go up in the future, this place would surely see the steepest increase.

"Looks like I need to wait a little while, let other players mine a few more Magic Crystal Veins and, once I have savings, I can spend money to buy up their savings..."

"Additionally, there's the matter of developing new magic. The magic I'm researching is already a semi-finished product; completing it isn't particularly difficult now."

"That reward should be quite enticing..."

At this point, Mr. Zhou made a firm decision.

He decided to find a spot near the Magic Crystal Ore area that wouldn't be in the way and continue perfecting his yet-to-be-researched magic.

In doing so, if any issues arose, the players mining there could conveniently send him along with the ore when submitting it if he got injured.

Once his new magic is complete, he could go to Mage Fang Ka to claim a reward.

Then spending a bit of money to purchase some funds from these mining players to buy a house shouldn't be a problem.

After sorting through his thoughts, he moved towards the exit and entrance passage, heading for the vicinity of the Magic Crystal Vein on the third underground level.

...

In the following days, the players in the Underground City began mining frantically, with the warehouse's inventory expanding at an incredible rate.

Fortunately, there were many warehouses on the first underground level, and many places were unoccupied and could be converted into warehouses, so there was no worry about storage space for Magic Crystal Ores.

A few frontline players in the Underground City, out of a sense of showing off, shared the mining rewards in the game group.

The newbie players still struggling on Newbie Island saw these rewards and nearly turned green with envy, triggering a chain reaction.

One by one, they began grinding with all their might, their efficiency in all aspects several times higher than before.

Each of them was eager to reach the Middle Tier class and head for the Underground City.

Indeed, some players went to ask Fang Ka about the conditions for going to the Underground City.

Fang Ka provided a simple answer.

For players on Kain Island, the travel cost for the first time to the Underground City is waived, but the class must be at least Middle Tier to set out.

That means you need to be at the level of a Middle Tier Skeleton Mage or a Middle Tier Skeleton Warrior.

Furthermore, you need to form a group of one hundred people to set out.

Forming a group aside, regarding the class requirements, because the Mage class cannot be directly enhanced, players hoping to get to the Underground City sooner can only grind resources tirelessly to strengthen the Skeleton Warrior class.

And those with the dual-class of Skeleton Mage at this time have already accepted that special task from Fang Ka, with the best resource acquisition option currently being the creation of new magic.

Fang Ka clearly laid out the plans for them.
