He just received a reward of 5 gold coins from Fang Ka, which is equivalent to 500 silver coins.
The original deposit in his hand was 40 silver coins, bringing the total to 540 silver coins.
The points needed for enhancement are quite humane, always at 10 points each time, without changing.
He has now accumulated 206 points in his hand.
That means he can now enhance 18 times, costing 540 silver coins, 180 points.
After the enhancement, he will be just one step away from becoming an Advanced Skeleton Warrior.
By then, he might very well become the first Advanced Skeleton Warrior.
Because the young miners in the underground city, after enhancing themselves to Intermediate Skeleton Warriors, all save up to buy houses, instead of planning to continue spending coins on career enhancements.
However, Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching can understand; those players are not like dual-class players—researching one magic can yield so much at once.
They all accumulate slowly through mining, so the increase in money is very slow.
And to enhance from Intermediate Skeleton Warrior to Advanced Skeleton Warrior requires 20 enhancements—each costing 30 silver coins, totaling 600 silver coins—which is sometimes more than some properties in the underground city.
After all, the houses on the second level underground are quite small as they were originally slave quarters, and the one Mr. Zhou chose, 65 square meters, is already among the largest there.
Plus, at present, there seems to be no sign of any dungeon opening. They don't have high demands for power either.
Thus, it's normal for players to think it might be better to buy a house first.
Actually, Fang Ka also realized this point. Therefore, Fang Ka plans to adopt some strategies later, such as offering limited-time discounts on Blood Pool Enhancement.
After all, now with Sonam and Xia Lin as free labor, the Intermediate Enhanced Alchemy Potion in his hand is growing more and more abundant, very plentiful.
In this way, leaving them unused is indeed pointless; thinking about giving them to the players is the real deal.
However, Fang Ka is not in a hurry; currently, the players haven't been diligent miners for long, so their accumulated savings are still very limited.
Even the smallest houses in the second underground level, they can't afford.
Moreover, they probably wouldn't choose those houses, as they are not only small but also located in very remote areas—only someone crazy would buy them.
Especially since Fang Ka previously mentioned that the land here has potential for appreciation, there's no way they'd buy such small and remote properties.
Therefore, Fang Ka plans to wait a while, until their savings are nearly sufficient, then find a suitable opportunity, an appropriate reason, to suddenly break the news of a hot discount on Blood Pool Enhancement.
By then, there's no fear these players won't fall for it; they'll surely obediently use their house savings for career enhancement.
Once players become Advanced Skeleton Warriors, Fang Ka can let them out of the underground city, allowing them to continue exploring towards the Chaotic Sea Domain.
It has been confirmed now that their current location is at the northernmost boundary of the Chaotic Sea Domain.
Continuing northward is needless to say; it's the territory of the Gana Race, unnecessary for further exploration.
The need to explore starts from here and extends southward, heading into the depths of the Chaotic Sea Domain.
And extends toward the east and west.
When the players reach Advanced Skeleton Warrior status, it's safer than letting Noel, the High Tier Knight, explore.
After all, though Noel can ride the Nightmare Beast, exploring islands requires landing, and any tiny slip could easily lead to disaster.
Plus, Noel himself is the type with a laid-back nature—except during battles, where he's extremely keen and detailed; usually, he seems a bit inattentive.
Thus, it's not very reliable for Noel to explore the surrounding sea domain, as nobody can guarantee that absolutely no slips will happen.
With players conducting the exploration, however, it's different; even if something does go wrong, it won't be a big deal.
The Soul Contract protects their souls; if something goes wrong, they can be forcefully logged out, and any injury isn't a problem as long as their minds are intact—their health can always be restored.
It's fair to say, as Scouts, they are a very qualified existence.
At this moment, Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching has finished his contemplation; he immediately spoke up to Fang Ka: "Mage Fang Ka, I want to conduct 18 Intermediate Blood Pool Enhancements."
Upon hearing Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching's words, Fang Ka wasn't surprised by Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching's action of using up all his savings for enhancement.
As the only elderly person among the players, Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching has always been different from ordinary silly players.
Fang Ka immediately responded: "Alright, follow Tina into the Royal Palace for enhancement."
After those words fell, Fang Ka deducted the currency and points from Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching's account that needed to be deducted.
During this time, Fang Ka had arranged for Noel to bring over many enhancing potions from the underground city, and they're completely sufficient for use.
Tina, hearing Fang Ka's instructions, immediately gestured to Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching, then took the lead, heading towards the Royal Palace.
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching took a look at the white solid high table in front of him, then stepped forward, following Tina into the Royal Palace.
The Blood Pool Enhancement proceeded very smoothly and didn't take very long; Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching emerged refreshed from the Royal Palace behind Tina.
Now he's just one enhancement away from reaching Advanced Skeleton Warrior.
Truth be told, he's a bit excited inside.
After considering briefly, it's clear that continuing to research magic wouldn't be effective in the short term.
Besides, he's only one Intermediate Blood Pool Enhancement away, lacking just 30 silver coins.
After calculating carefully, he finds he only needs to mine for about a day, and he'd have enough.
Hence, he doesn't hesitate and quickly rushes towards the third underground level.
Upon arriving at the third underground level, he immediately began his mining venture.
Mr. Zhou expressed his lack of understanding for Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching who, instead of continuing to research magic, began mining.
Immediately, he walked up to him and started to inquire verbally: "Mr. Qian? What's going on? Why have you started mining? We are Mage; we live by using our brains. Didn't you already receive the reward from Mage Fang Ka? The reward should be very generous, right? Isn't continuing mental work desirable?"
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching glanced at Mr. Zhou, without stopping his hand movements: "The reward is very generous. I originally thought the reward might be slightly less than yours, but it turned out to be exactly the same."
"Then I used all the money on enhancement, now I'm just one step away from becoming an Advanced Skeleton Warrior."
