Chapter 12: The Bloodshed Caused by the White Silver Mine
"Damn it, it's found me..." Ding Qiang felt depressed, secretly thinking that this large lizard's eyesight must be 2.0.
I thought it would be safer to return to the city, but I never expected this lizard to break through the mountain and chase after me from such a distance, and still manage to drag itself into combat state.
Fortunately, the cooldown time of the Honor Medal is extremely short, only 3 minutes. The 3-minute time passed in the blink of an eye, and before the guardian could fly over, Ding Qiang removed one Honor Medal from the battle and immediately raised his middle finger at the lizard. His figure flashed and he exited the game.
Can't afford to provoke me and can't avoid it either?
Look at that lizard's imposing posture, a big battle is probably inevitable. On one side is the epic guardian BOSS, on the other side is the lowest-level newbie village in the game, and the difference in strength between the two sides is obvious at a glance.
To avoid being implicated and to protect himself, Ding Qiang decided it was best to lay low for the time being. He didn't think that just relying on the guards at the village entrance would be enough to keep him safe...
Although he knew that this move was uncertain and it was very likely that the first transfer would be taken away by others, but for the sake of honor, Ding Qiang couldn't care about so much anymore.
But after leaving the game, Ding Qiang did not exit the game terminal, but instead opened an online forum.
At the beginning of the game, when such a major event occurs in the game, there will definitely be enthusiastic players live streaming on the forum, and only from their live streams can he know when to go online again.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, a post appeared in his field of vision after a moment.
"No. 16 Newcomer Village has a Godzilla, everyone come and see!"
"Geosura......" Looking at the picture of the guardian hovering in mid-air, Ding Qiang couldn't help but chuckle. This guy was really talented. At first glance, he didn't notice anything, but upon closer inspection, the two seemed to be almost identical.
In the game, the big lizard flew for a while and probably got tired of flying, finally landing at the entrance of the village.
Outside the game, Ding Qiang was gnawing on an apple he had rummaged from the fridge while refreshing the post. He still wanted to be the first to reach level 10, but judging by the current situation, it seemed unlikely. This giant lizard was clearly waiting for him outside the village, and if it left soon, that would be fine, but if it waited there for ten days or half a month...
"Grandma's..." Ding Qiang had the urge to use the apple in his hand to smash this large lizard.
However, this stalemate was soon broken by a living creature.
This creature is incredibly daring!
This creature is fearless of death!
This creature dares to try everything...
This creature is... a newborn.
At first, no one dared to approach him. Later, a novice plucked up the courage and shot an arrow from afar.
Pfft!
-1！
A damage number popped up above the guardian's head.
"Haha, can break through defense." The newbies were suddenly delighted.
This BOSS is so powerful and cool, if we can kill it, dropping a divine artifact or holy relic would be awesome.
At this point, the newcomers of No. 16 Newbie Village were suddenly boiling with enthusiasm, and they rushed out of the village entrance, charging towards that guardian BOSS...
-1！
-1！
-1！
……
Rows and rows of damage numbers floated up above the guardian's head.
At first, the guardian didn't mind, but after a long time, maybe feeling annoyed, the big lizard let out a roar, and a flame storm swept in. The next moment, the world was quiet again. The newcomers who were still enthusiastically chopping around it just now were all gone, sent back to the village without exception.
"My god, this BOSS is too overpowered!"
"Damn it, if we just rely on ourselves grinding, how long will it take?"
"Look, the guard at the village entrance seems to have been attacked just now..."
“……”
Many newcomers turned their heads to look, and indeed, the firestorm that had just occurred covered a very wide area, not only sending all the newcomers back to the resurrection point, but also affecting the guards at the village entrance.
"System Alert: Village 16 has been attacked by beasts. The village chief orders emergency defensive measures to be taken."
After a moment, from some corner of the village, a team of archers with bright armor emerged, formed an array and began to attack the guardian.
The Guardian BOSS is indeed powerful, but the system's guardians are not to be underestimated either. Moreover, there are groups of fearless newcomers who keep coming in waves. Soon, the Guardian's life will drop to around 80%.
Perhaps realizing that continuing to fight would not bring any benefits, the guardian let out a loud roar, spewing out fierce flames, and instantly killed all the guards and newcomers. The huge wings then flashed violently a few times, and with a burst of speed, it took off into the sky and disappeared in an instant.
"In the game, 'The BOSS is gone...' Watching the guardian fly to the horizon and become a small dot, the newcomers felt a sense of loss."
Outside the game, "Grandma's, finally left." Ding Qiang, who was about to fall asleep after reading the post, suddenly became spirited.
It's been almost three hours since he last logged off, and according to the 4:1 time ratio between the game and reality, the level advantage he had worked so hard to establish was probably gone by now.
But thinking of the medal in the package, Ding Qiang felt a sense of comfort: "The level doesn't matter, with this medal, everything can be made up for."
Humility, honesty, compassion, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor, and spirit. The eight virtues correspond to the eight codes of chivalry. He now has the Medal of Honor. If one day he can gather all eight, what does this current level loss matter?
But such things are just thought about, to know that in the previous life, not to mention gathering the eight scattered pieces of the king's heart, even who has these eight scattered pieces, no one said clearly. Ding Qiang knew that there were two scattered pieces in the Holy Alliance only because the other party accidentally leaked it out unintentionally.
Those two people possess the Medal of Bravery and the Badge of Justice, their specific effects are unknown, but from how carefully they guard this secret, it can be inferred that those attributes must be quite heaven-defying.
……
Feeling the process of his field of vision changing from dark to bright, Ding Zhong logged back into the game.
A line of small print caught his eye.
"System Prompt: Newbie Village has been damaged, players cannot log in at the resurrection point. Therefore, your soul has been sent to the Wild Cathedral for revival."
"...Ding Qiang was speechless for a moment, he had also seen on the post that Xinren Village was severely damaged, but he didn't expect it to be so severe, and even the resurrection point was destroyed by that lizard."
Ding Qiang couldn't help but feel lucky again, fortunately he had foreseen this and taken precautions, otherwise who knows what would have happened, maybe he would have been stuck dead until the Guardian burst out with that Honorary Badge...
Near the Revival Temple next to the wild boar forest just now...
A white light flashed under the temple statue, and Ding Qiang went online.
After determining the direction, he rushed towards the Newbie Village at a fast pace while checking his equipment and gold coins in his package, thinking about his next move.
Just killed the wild boar king and dropped two pieces of equipment, a miner's manual. While making Ding Qiang rich, his gold coins also reached 135.
Don't underestimate these 135 gold coins. Think back to the previous life, when Ding Qiang reached level 10 and left the newbie village, all his belongings added up were less than one gold coin. Even the teleportation fee of one gold coin was earned by running outside the village and killing wild boars for a while to sell their meat.
The game is just open now, and the system has not yet opened the exchange of gold coins with real currency. After it's open, his 135 gold coins will also be a considerable fortune.
After running for a while, a constantly flashing yellow dot on the map caught his attention.
After becoming a miner, ore detection is automatically enabled. Whenever you approach an area with ore deposits, a prompt will appear on the map.
Depending on the player's mining level, veins can be displayed in green, yellow, red and purple on the map.
Green and yellow indicate that the player's current level can be mined, red indicates that although it can be mined, the failure rate is very high, and there is a great possibility of damaging the ore vein. Purple indicates that there are rare items in the ore vein, and the types of rare items are diverse, including minerals, materials, equipment, and even mounts.
In his previous life, there was a guy who had exceptionally good luck. In a purple mineral vein, he excavated a flying combat mount - Golden Feathered Combat Griffin. With this combat mount, he also jumped from being unknown to becoming a top-notch expert.
He is now an intermediate miner, but that ore vein is still displayed in yellow. The grade of this ore vein will not be low.
With a surge of joy in his heart, he spotted the ore vein inside a nearby cave and made battle preparations before charging in.
【Zombie Cave】: A leveling spot near Newbie Village, with most of the monsters inside being 8-10 level zombies. Although zombie-type monsters have high attack power, they move slowly and are not too bad for leveling up, making it a favorite among long-range professions.
But when he went in, he was stunned.
In the dimly lit cave, there was a sense of quietness, and the imagined zombies wandering around did not appear.
It's surprisingly normal here.
"Haha, White Silver Mine." Looking at the mine vein that emitted a faint glow in the deepest part of the dark cave, Ding Qiang's heart was filled with joy. The White Silver Mine was extremely rare and had a certain probability of producing jadeite and other semi-living crystals when mined, making it a kind of mine vein that could be encountered but not sought after.
He pulled out his pickaxe and rushed over, Ding Qiang spat out two mouthfuls of saliva, rubbed it in, and was about to start digging...
Just as he had just dug a shovel and hadn't waited to see what he had harvested, he suddenly heard a soft cry from behind: "Ah, who are you? Dare to steal my ore!" Immediately followed by a punch.
Bang!
-26！
"This attack isn't low at all......" Ding Qiang muttered to himself, his current defense was already over 20 points, the opponent's one hit could take away 26 points of his life, that meant the opponent's attack power was at least over 40.
As the attack was received, the mining rod was also broken.
Turning his head to look over, the person who had just attacked Ding Qiang also came into his line of sight.
The girl's name was Lielei, with a ponytail and a melon-shaped face, looking like a tomboy. She stood in front of the mine, swinging her fists and shouting: "Who are you? Why are you stealing my mine? Be careful or I'll PK you!"
