National Games: Hang up from the zombie apocalypse

An endless sea.

Ahead, a small island shone like a dazzling blue gem under the sunlight.

"Captain, Sapphire Island is just ahead. We are severely understaffed this time, so our mining efficiency may be very low." Howell, not knowing why we suddenly came to mine at this time, repeatedly reminded us, "Moreover, our fleet has too many ships, making us too conspicuous. We're probably already being watched by the Skull and Bones Society."

"Don't worry, Howell."

Meng Qingyu happened to be passing by, patted Howell on the shoulder, and said confidently, "The king's men will have a way."

king?

Howell found the title rather strange and couldn't help but look at Fang Heng standing on the deck outside the window, feeling extremely odd.

Mining!
Hard, physically demanding work.

What other options are there? Can he conjure up a group of laborers?
Soon, the fleet landed along the coast of Sapphire Island and began setting up temporary camps on the beach, settling into the island.

Fang Heng jumped off the deck to observe the island's environment.

The island's surface is different from the outside world. Apart from the sandy areas along the coast, the soil becomes very hard once you enter the outer perimeter of the island. Upon closer inspection, you can see a special blue crystalline substance mixed in with the soil.

Perhaps due to the soil composition, only a few plants can grow on the island.

Meng Qingyu looked at Fang Heng with a hint of anticipation, clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the blue crystal ore we need is hidden beneath this land. The only difference is the content of the crystals being mined. We need a large number of laborers to dig it out and transport it back and forth."

"Ah."

Fang Heng listened to Meng Qingyu's explanation but did not find any difficulties.

Isn't it just a regular data collection task?
If I had to point out a difference, it would probably be that the items collected are simpler?
"Let's begin then."

As Fang Heng spoke, he took out a stack of talisman papers from his backpack and threw them into the air.

"Bang! Bang bang bang!!!"

The Lickers leaped out of the shattered seal rune paper and then quickly condensed into fleshy cocoons on the ground.

The fleshy cocoon broke open quickly.

One by one, the zombies howled as they crawled out of their cocoons and then walked out of the sand to dig into the crystallized soil with their bare hands.

Meng Qingyu and the group of players' eyes lit up immediately.

Since Fang Heng became famous outside the game, many of his past videos have been unearthed by players, and several popular videos have been repeatedly played by players.

Players have seen the zombies controlled by Fang Heng to varying degrees.

This thing has extremely strong support capabilities!
Besides combat, he's also a master at mining!
Fang Heng's right eye rapidly focused, and with a wave of his hand, a simple magic circle was quickly constructed in the space in front of him.

The sand on the ground converged towards the simple magic circle.

The various elements extracted from the sand were quickly selected and constructed through alchemy, eventually forming pickaxes that fell to the ground in scattered pieces.

The players were stunned by Fang Heng's move.

alchemy?
You can play it like this?

The zombie clones began to walk past the magic circle one by one, bending down to take a pickaxe, and then began to dig.

Fang Heng looked at Meng Qingyu beside him and said, "Mining cart."

"okay!"

Meng Qingyu immediately snapped out of his daze and nodded, saying, "I'll have someone go get it right away."

In no time, within five minutes, a basic production line was set up.

The onlookers, along with the locals, watched as the zombie horde quickly dispersed and began digging on the island.

Soon, zombies began to line up and transport truckloads of high-purity crystals, piling them up on the coast.

Although the players were mentally prepared, they were still shocked by what they saw.

Witnessing it in person is much more exciting than watching a video.

The zombies' digging efficiency is terrifying.

Players felt that they couldn't even compete with zombies in their own battles.

Howell and his group of native gamers were utterly astonished by this scene, and stood there speechless for a long time.

He now understood why he had brought so many empty ships.

It turns out they're just here to load up resources.

The most troublesome aspect of sapphire ore mining was not a problem at all in Fang Heng's eyes!

At this rate, it should take no more than half an hour to fill all the ships with the excavated supplies.

Then they can return home!

"Commander."

It took Howell a moment to figure out what was going on. He walked over to Fang Heng and whispered, "Do the supplies need to be shipped immediately?"

"hold on."

Fang Heng noticed that the sapphire crystal ore he had dug out was more like a mixed mineral, with a lot of impurities.

It has never been refined.

If a true sapphire crystal content is 10%, that's considered pretty good.

If we load it now, wouldn't we be sending back a boatload of garbage?

Fang Heng didn't want to waste time on the mission repeatedly.

Let's just max out our contribution points all at once and start the next phase of the mission sooner.

As Fang Heng spoke, he tilted his head back, his right eye rapidly rotating, and raised his hand forward.

"Hiss, hiss..."

Tiny alchemical runes gradually appeared in mid-air.

As mental energy was activated, the complex alchemical runes quickly twisted and condensed into a large alchemical magic circle.

Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!
The magic circle spun rapidly.

Fang Heng then raised his hand and waved towards the mountain of highly concentrated crystalline ore piled up to the side.

The pile of ore was immediately pulled toward the magic circle.

"Sizzle! Sizzle sizzle!!!"

As the ore passed through the rapidly spinning magic circle, a white mist immediately rose up, accompanied by a hissing sound.

what the hell!

It's crystallized!

The players, including Meng Qingyu, were visibly shocked.

Unheard of!

How much alchemy has Fang Heng mastered?
Could it be that it's already maxed out?
After the ore is refined by the alchemical magic circle, the impurities it contains are quickly removed, leaving only a highly concentrated purified substance!
Throughout the entire empire, only alchemists from high-level magic guilds are capable of effectively increasing the purity of crystalline ore from around 60% to 85%.

Moreover, I heard that the entire process is extremely complicated and takes a very long time.

No one has ever purified the raw ore directly from the raw material like Fang Heng, directly to crystallization, and the time consumed was extremely short, almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The game's natives looked at Fang Heng with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.

So who exactly is he?

"Quickly, don't just stand there, get someone to load the sapphire crystals onto the ship and transfer them!"

Cao Ge could hardly contain his elation.

Even magic guilds have a limited supply of this extremely high-purity crystal.

Even if you have money, you might not be able to buy it outside!
Fang Heng could refine it almost effortlessly!
The efficiency is unbelievably high!
They've made a fortune!
Seeing this, the players couldn't sit still any longer and jumped off the ship to help the laborers unload the blue ore crystals onto the vessel. (End of Chapter)
