Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

After leaving the chicken and rabbit hut, I picked apples, oranges and honey from the five trees, went back to the house to take a shower, changed into dry clothes, put on another set of raincoat and rain boots, and set off for the back mountain.

Now Lin Xia has a large number of rain gears, so he can be said to have achieved rain gear freedom. In the morning, he walked through the ranch and picked out a raincoat that was pleasing to the eye but not very convenient. Now he was going up the mountain, so he changed into a one-piece convenient raincoat and rain pants. After pulling up the mask, he was not afraid of any heavy rain.

I ran all the way to the back mountain, this time I delivered something to the Kappa first, then I walked through the hot spring and came to the waterfall to give flowers to the goddess, and then I entered the mine.

After entering the mine, Lin Xia came to the elevator. He could now take the elevator directly to any level of the mine he had been to before. However, because Lin Xia was relatively poor before, he could not afford to buy potions to restore his physical strength, and basic ores were enough, so the deepest mine he had reached so far was the 26th level.

Today, Lin Xia came here fully prepared.

Gotz brought the five wooden boxes he made for himself, and also brought the healing grass he made last time. Last time, because three green grasses were missing, three bottles of the big wake-up agent were missing. Later, Lin Xia immediately replenished them after picking green grass, so there are now a total of 5 healing grasses, and this time he brought a total of 3. In addition, he also brought 3 bottles of recovery agent and wake-up agent to prevent going too deep into the mine and consuming too much physical strength, so that he could resist when the healing grass was gone.

It seems that I still need to store a large amount of grass of various colors, and these grasses appear in different seasons. I can’t sell any of them, so I have to keep them all for my own use.

Take the elevator directly down to the 26th floor, take out a hoe and hoe everywhere you can reach, find the stairs going down, and go around the places blocked by unknown ore. If you can't find stairs on the open ground, you can only take out a hammer to knock open the ore blocking the way and then hoe the ground.

Minimizing the frequency of knocking stones can save a lot of physical energy. Today, Lin Xia has a dream, which is to open up the entire mine and reach the bottom - later reality told her that this was nothing more than wishful thinking.

Although Lin Xia has tried his best to use labor-saving methods to find the stairs going down - there will be no stairs in the circle of land on the outermost wall of the mine, so there is no need to smash the stones in that circle, and the ground does not need to be dug; there will definitely be no stairs dug in the eight grids around the stairs going upstairs, so there is no need to hoe.

The area of ​​the mine on each floor is random. Sometimes it is a very large mine, and sometimes it is a very small mine. The size of the mine will also affect the location of the stairs.

In a large mine, the stairs going downstairs are usually near the stairs going upstairs, so you can consider digging outward in circles. In a small mine, except for the circle closest to the wall, it is easier to dig stairs in the two outermost circles, and the stairs going downstairs are usually located diagonally farthest from the stairs going upstairs.

These experiences were summarized by Lin Xia after digging nearly twenty mines.

In addition to the summarized experience, a lot of ores were also knocked out, among which gold and silver ores were the most. Copper ore became less and less as one went deeper, while mithril, orichalcum, and diamond appeared more and more frequently. Lin Xia also dug up black grass and a lot of gold coins. The black grass was put into the space, and the gold coins directly turned into numbers in the account the moment they were put into the space.

However, mining consumes a lot of physical strength. Basically, every 5 levels down will consume nearly 100 physical strength. Now Lin Xia’s physical strength limit is 140, and the fatigue limit is 100. Before the physical strength is exhausted, the fatigue will not increase.

The recovery grass can restore 100 physical strength and reduce 50 fatigue at the same time. The recovery potion can restore 50 physical strength, and the refresher potion can reduce 20 fatigue. In order to maximize the effect, Lin Xia usually waits until the fatigue increases to more than 50, eats a recovery grass, swings a hoe or smashes a few hammers to consume some physical strength, and then drinks a bottle of recovery potion to replenish the physical strength.

With a "bang", along with the familiar sound of ore cracking, a round light blue jade stone broke out from the stone. This is -

"Ding~Ding~Ding~Congratulations on getting your first piece of Goddess Jade!" Suddenly, the goddess appeared in front of him, and she said with a smile, "When you collect 9 pieces of Goddess Jade, you can exchange them with me for the Goddess Secret Treasure. It's a good thing! Okay, keep working hard!"

“Hey, wait a minute, goddess!” Lin Xia hurriedly called out to the goddess who was about to disappear, “Excuse me, can you tell me the specific level at which the goddess jade appeared?”

The goddess smiled and refused: "No! You have to discover this by yourself!"

Lin Xia muttered in disappointment: "Hey, it seems that although Kappa is serious, he is very straightforward. He directly announced the floor where each Kappa Jade will appear. I didn't expect that the floor of the Goddess Jade would be~"

The goddess was a little unhappy. No one has ever felt that they were inferior to Kappa. This was absolutely not allowed. "Ah~ Lin Xia, originally this floor must not be told directly, but considering that you have been sending me gifts every day since the first day you came to Mineral Town, it is really thoughtful. So, I will make an exception and tell you the specific floor. You must remember it carefully!"

"Ah, goddess, you are so kind, thank you very much!" Lin Xia didn't expect that provocation would actually work. Sure enough, the power of knowledge is infinite, hehe.

“女神之玉一般分别会出现在60、102、123、152、155、171、190、202、222层，但是并不是100%会出现，是有机率的，如果你这次没有敲到，可以重新进入该层尝试，每层也只会有一块女神之玉。”

The goddess disappeared after saying this. Through this incident, Lin Xia also realized that there is room for maneuver in many things. As long as you are thick-skinned enough and don't give up, the chance of success is very high!

Lin Xia glanced at her mining record. This floor was exactly the 60th floor. She was lucky this time as she had knocked down the Goddess Jade before digging the stairs. Otherwise, if she had dug the stairs first, she would have gone directly to the next floor and missed it.

It seems that when we reach these special floors later, we will need to knock every stone!

After getting the Goddess Jade, Lin Xia was instantly full of energy as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He immediately continued to dig down. When he reached the 100th floor underground, Lin Xia had already eaten 7 recovery grasses, 7 bottles of resilience potions and 6 bottles of wakefulness potions.

Basically, every 10 levels require 1 grass + 1 bottle of resilience and 1 bottle of wakefulness. This is the effect that Lin Xia achieved after accurately calculating his physical consumption and increased fatigue.

Opening up the mine is really a money-burning thing, but now I have the black grass, plus the three white grasses at home, I can make three super recovery grasses when I go back, and I can save some other recovery potions when I go mining next time.
