Chapter 068: First entry into the original ore layer
The second floor of Haotian Tower, also known as the "original ore layer"!
This floor is scattered with various mineral veins, rich in various ores from F grade to SS grade!
Ore, as the raw material that can be refined into metals of corresponding grades, has always been a resource that all races must compete for!
The reason why the second floor of Haotian Tower is called the "original ore layer" is because this layer is the birthplace of the entire Haotian Tower ore vein!
The mineral veins distributed in the large and small resource layers of Haotian Tower all originate from here!
The biggest difference between the original ore layer and the higher-level ore veins is that the ore veins in this layer are not divided into grades, unlike the higher-level ore veins, which are divided into grades according to the ore of the main output grade!
In the original ore layer, every ore vein may dig SS-level ore. Of course, the most distributed is the cheap F-level ore!
As for the SSS-level, this kind of treasure that can be refined into SSS-level metals is no longer something that can be dug up in the ore veins. Every time a piece appears, it will lead to a bloody fight, and finally decide its fate!
...
During the past three days of cooling period, Xu Kun has already done a lot of data query on this layer.
After the trialists who pass the first layer come to this layer, they will be randomly assigned to enter the major ore veins!
There are two special things to pay attention to in this layer.
One is that each ore vein naturally forms a domain, and anyone who enters the ore vein will be restricted by the domain.
The domain varies depending on the ore vein itself.
The most common one is the ore vein that suppresses the five basic attributes. If a trialist who specializes in a certain basic attribute happens to encounter the corresponding domain when encountering this kind of ore vein, it will naturally be miserable, and his strength will be greatly reduced!
Then there are the rarer special attribute veins, such as lava veins, frost veins, thick earth veins...
When the trialer enters this type of vein, he will be attacked by the special attributes of the vein at any time. For example, in the lava vein, the miner will be burned by the magma at all times, and even the magma will cause large-scale damage when it erupts. Various special attribute veins have their own means of damage!
This kind of vein is also rated as the most undesirable vein by the human race, and the mortality rate of this kind of vein has always been high!
And the veins with the [Sealed Skills] field that Xu Kun entered this time are even rarer, but this kind of vein is widely welcomed, because in this vein, except for not being able to use skills, other aspects are not affected.
Every trialer who wants to pass this level can successfully pass the level as long as he completes the task step by step!
As for another point to pay attention to, it is the conditions for passing the level, which is also very simple, that is: mining!
Trialers who enter the mining area for the first time will be issued mining tasks of corresponding levels according to their talent levels.
For example, if the talent is F-level, a task of mining F-level ore will be issued.
Before Xu Kun came in, he was still thinking about what level of mining tasks the original ore layer would issue since he had two F-level talents, one E-level talent and one SS-level talent!
But now it seems that the original ore layer did not choose the additional talent he obtained by killing the boss through the talent entry, but issued a task of the corresponding level with his main talent [Illustrated Book of All Races]!
This situation is what Xu Kun is most reluctant to see!
Whether it is the [Sealed Skills] field or the F-level task, it is definitely the easiest ore vein to pass for any F-level trialist who has passed the first level by chance!
But Xu Kun, not only can't use his unique skills, his goal is not only to complete the F-level task and get the second-level F-level score!
His goal, of course, is the highest SSS-level score, and even to use his own son of luck buff, increase the trial score by one, and complete another SSSS-level score!
In this layer, only the SSS-level score will be reported to the entire Haotian Tower, which can bring a gain effect to the entire race!
Haotian Tower is very fair. It releases the corresponding level of clearance tasks, and also allows players of each talent level to pursue the corresponding trial score according to their own strength!
Therefore, the masters of the human race in the past generations either failed to successfully pass the level, or they had to complete the SSS-level mining task to successfully pass the level!
And for those with weak talents but confidence, Haotian Tower did not cut off their channels for advancement!
After completing the mining tasks of the corresponding talent level, higher-level mining tasks can be opened.
Just like Xu Kun’s current F-level mining task, he only needs to complete the excavation of ten types of F-level ores for 100 pieces each, and he can continue to take E-level tasks!
Again, for ordinary F-level talents, this fair task advancement method gives them a channel for advancement, but for Xu Kun, it is a complete waste of time!
He wants to try to break the clearance record of the human race predecessors. Digging a total of 1,000 pieces of F-level ores will waste a lot of his time, not to mention that if he wants to complete the SSS-level trial score, he must complete the mining tasks of various levels step by step.
F-level is 1,000 yuan, E-level is 1,000 yuan, C-level is 1,000 yuan, B-level is 1,000 yuan, A-level is 100 yuan, S-level is 10 yuan, SS-level is 10 yuan...
When Xu Kun thought of this number, he had a headache. For the first time, he felt that he only had F-level talent, which was too restrictive!
But combined with the knowledge points in his mind, Xu Kun felt that he still had a shortcut!
Because there is also a conversion ratio between ores!
SS-level ore = S-level ore * 10 = A-level ore * 1000 = B-level ore * 100000 = C-level ore * 10000000 = D-level...
From S-level ore to the lowest level F-level ore, the conversion ratio is 1 to 100!
The conversion ratio between S-level ore and SS-level ore is 10:1!
The tasks should be done one level at a time, but it does not mean that mining should start from the lowest level!
For example, Xu Kun's current F-level task, Xu Kun can submit the F-level task by digging ten pieces of E-level ore, and then continue to complete the E-level task!
"If it is D-level, one piece of ore can complete ten F-level tasks, but the ore cannot be split. If you want to maximize the utilization rate, digging a higher level of ore is the most suitable for completing the mining task of a lower level..."
Xu Kun did not rush to the mining area, but thought about the simplest way to pass the level in his heart.
Because he didn't forget that all mining tasks from F to SS can be completed through mining, but if you want to complete the highest level SSS task, it's not just mining!
Completing the SSS task, in addition to being able to inform the whole world and bring short-term gains to your race, the most important point is to be able to control the entire mining area!
You heard it right, everyone who completes the SSS task can control all the output of the mining area they have dug, which is the personal reward of the SSS task!
And the black jade mining area that Xu Kun is now stepping into belongs to the SSS-level Tianjiao of a certain race who has passed the mine. If the latecomers want to complete the SSS-level score, they have to pull the teeth out of the tiger's mouth and seize the ownership of the entire mining area!
But for Xu Kun at the moment, there is no hurry...
Because he is not an SSS-level talent, the premise for completing the SSS-level task is that he must first complete the mining tasks from F to SS!
Otherwise, everything is in vain!
With this idea in mind, Xu Kun has gradually approached the mining area step by step.
Suddenly, Xu Kun stumbled when his toes were pulled by something.
"What is that?"
Xu Kun looked back and his eyes widened.
"Is this... ore?"
Xu Kun looked around. He hadn't even entered the mining area yet. How could there be such an exposed ore in the wild? It was really rare that it hadn't been dug up by anyone!
But after thinking about it, Xu Kun understood that it was his full luck value that was at work again. It was just a routine operation to be knocked down by an ore while walking!
"Let me see, what grade of ore is this!"
Xu Kun squatted down and tried to pick it up.
[Ding, a B-grade ore, Red Flame Copper Ore, was detected. Do you want to dig it? ]
"Yes!" Xu Kun made a choice.
[Ding, since you don't have mining tools, the probability of digging B-grade ore, Red Flame Copper Ore, is 0.1%. Digging failed and the ore was damaged. Do you want to continue? ]
Xu Kun raised his eyebrows. He hadn't reported to the construction site yet, so naturally he hadn't been assigned any tools. However, this 0.1% chance of excavation was really eye-catching!
But is it important?
It's not important!
Xu Kun calmly chose to continue.
In front of him, a countdown began to appear. After ten seconds, Xu Kun pulled out the ore that was originally half buried in the ground like pulling out a carrot. At the same time, a prompt sound rang in Xu Kun's ears.
[Ding, the excavation of the B-level ore Red Flame Copper Mine was successful, and you obtained Red Flame Copper Mine*1! ]
[Ding, the Destiny·Son of Luck takes effect, the B-level ore Red Flame Copper Mine level +1, upgraded to the A-level ore Shenyin Iron! ]
In the palm of his hand, the ore emitting a blazing flame suddenly transformed into an extremely heavy, cold ore.
Xu Kun grinned. It seems that the buff of the son of luck is really awesome. He just simply dug a mine and got a piece of A-level ore!
Such a small piece of Shenyin Iron is enough to exchange for 100 pieces of the previous Red Flame Copper Ore!
The reminder sounded again.
[Ding, it is detected that you have a piece of A-level ore Shenyin Iron. After submitting the F-level task, you can choose the advanced task, or complete the current assessment and enter the next level! ]
Xu Kun's mouth twitched. Only a fool would submit a piece of A-level ore to complete the F-level task!
Wouldn't it be better to keep it for the B-level task?
The difference between A-level ore and the lowest-level F-level ore is 100*100*100*100*100... a difference of 10 billion!
"Hehe, a good start. Now the time to complete the task can be greatly shortened!"
Xu Kun was about to put the ore away when he heard a hurried voice.
"Brother, run!"
Xu Kun was stunned and looked up. He noticed that during the time he had just dug the Red Flame Copper Mine, a group of ethnic trialists were already eyeing him covetously!
At this moment, hundreds of eyes around him were staring at the silver iron in Xu Kun's hand, their eyes full of greed.
The one who just anxiously reminded him was a young man squeezed in the crowd. Judging from his dress, he was actually a human!
The other party should have recognized his human identity and deliberately reminded him to run.
Money can move people's hearts. Before Xu Kun even entered the mining area, he had become the target of public criticism.
In the sky, a big bird looked down at the ore in Xu Kun's hand and said, "That's A-grade ore Shenyin Iron, lucky boy, I won't be polite then!"
After saying that, it leaned down at a very fast speed!
Xu Kun frowned, and through the newly equipped metal bracelet on his hand, he had already converted the bird's chirping sound of the big bird into the human language, and naturally understood the other party's intention.
Facing the big bird with flying advantage, flying towards him quickly, Xu Kun raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.
But in the eyes of others, Xu Kun seemed to be scared at this moment, and he didn't even know to put away the ore in his hand!
The next moment, Xu Kun used practical actions to tell this group of peeping race trialists that there are some things that you can't touch!
The [Ten Thousand Races Atlas] appeared in the palm of his hand, and the information of the birdman rushing towards him was quickly outlined.
ID: Lone Parrot (with human language translation)
Race: C-level Iron Wing Parrot
Talent: C-level Iron Wing (Strength +40%, Body Movement +40%)
Level: Level 1, Level 0
…
It turned out to be the famous Iron Wing Parrot. No wonder it flies so fast. The C-level Iron Wing with double bonuses of this race is a common talent for the entire race, which allows every Iron Wing Parrot to have good combat power among the same talents and levels!
Relying on this talent, the Iron Wing Parrot's race ranking is not low, very close to the level of the thousandth place!
In the human database, this C-level race with no big secrets is naturally studied thoroughly. The lower limit of this race is not low, but the upper limit is just like that. It is said that the strongest person in the entire race is only a B-level talent...
"Why call it a lonely parrot? I think it is more appropriate to call it an orphan!"
"Iron wing talent? I think it is an iron head!"
Xu Kun stood there without any movement, letting the lonely parrot fall. Just when everyone thought that the lonely parrot would take the lead with its own speed, at the moment when the two came into contact, Xu Kun's figure shook!
The lonely parrot did not attack him, but instead continued to move forward. The whole parrot face had an intimate contact with the ground!
Under high-speed operation, the lonely parrot's collision made itself dizzy and its body stood up swayingly, but before it could come to its senses, its neck was already blocked by an invisible sword.
"Die, or surrender!"
The lonely parrot shook its head and was about to resist, but Xu Kun kicked it out and kicked it far away.
This time, the parrot dared not move, because Xu Kun's kick had left only a layer of blood skin on its blood line!
In a flash, Xu Kun followed him like a shadow, and the sword was on its neck again.
Repeated: "Die, or surrender!"
The parrot was no longer as brave as before, and resolutely crawled on the ground and surrendered: "I am willing to be your most loyal servant!"
"Okay!" Xu Kun put away the Chengying Sword.
Then he turned his head and looked at the many races of creatures that stopped halfway.
At this moment, including the human boy who reminded Xu Kun before, everyone was stunned in place. The talents of the Iron Wing Parrot Clan were very clear to many races of creatures present.
C-level talents are not high or low, but with the double bonus, they are comparable to ordinary B-level talents. Among these races of creatures present, at least more than half of them feel that they have no chance of winning against the parrot!
The remaining half, who boasted of their strength, could not defeat the Iron Wing Parrot Tribe, which was known for its speed and strength!
"Run!"
One of them was quick to react and shouted loudly, causing all the creatures to make a decision.
"Run? Can you run away?"
Xu Kun moved his feet, and his speed of 781M\\/S was enough to dominate the whole audience. There were about 70 or 80 creatures who had planned to encircle him. Since they entered the mining area, there was no way back for these creatures, so the only direction they could run was towards the mining area!
In this way, a straight line was formed!
Xu Kun easily caught up with the slowest group, and the [Ten Thousand Races Atlas] simultaneously outlined the information of every creature that Xu Kun's eyes touched.
"D-level rock turtle? I hate turtles the most, go back!"
Kicked one by one, hugged together, and the three rock turtles that fell at the back, even though they had thick rock armor, were kicked one by one by Xu Kun, leaving only a layer of blood skin, and huddled in the tortoise shell, and dared not move again.
D-class whiptail bulls... C-class three-legged toads... C-class tiger crabs... C-class golden-backed mantises...
Some species have only one, while others are in groups of three or five!
Xu Kun did not let any of them go, using his extremely fast attack speed to injure them according to their health, but not to kill them!
There were not many E-class species, and they had no chance to escape, and they could not even withstand Xu Kun's sword.
The D-class species were the main force, with as many as thirty or forty of them, and they were all solved by Xu Kun one by one!
There were fewer C-class species, only a dozen or so. After solving the D-class species, Xu Kun swung his butcher knife at these species. Two cattle species became angry, and Xu Kun raised his sword and sent them to see their cattle ancestors!
The rest were the fastest, with only a few species in the single digit.
They were the B-class Phantom Butterfly, the B-class Deadwood Cicada, the B-class Gale Wolf, the B-class Purple Lightning Rabbit...
When Xu Kun caught up with these B-class creatures, the one running in the front was only a flying creature!
Through the [Myriad Races Atlas], Xu Kun had already learned about the other party's information.
It was the only A-class creature among the creatures that surrounded him - the Ice and Fire Demon Owl!
Xu Kun stepped on the head of the Wind Wolf that he had defeated, leaped into the air, and swung his sword.
The Ice and Fire Demon Owl let out a painful whine, and its body sank. Xu Kun had already stepped on its back.
"Die, or surrender!"
The Ice and Fire Demon Owl waved its symmetrical wings, one side was ice blue, the other side was fire red, and turned its head, revealing a hint of fear.
Facing such a terrifying Xu Kun, the Ice and Fire Demon Owl put aside its dignity as an A-class creature, and after landing, it bowed its head and said: "I am willing to surrender to you, sir!"
