Chapter 224 Mithril
Chapter 24 Mithril
Ye Ci went offline, it was still early, and there was still a while before dinner.So she took a shower while Bai Mo was still offline, and when she finished, Bai Mo was already sitting in the living room waiting for her.Ye Nantian and Zuo Xiaolan haven't gone offline yet, and they are probably still studying online how to avoid losing money.

While wiping her hair, Ye Ci sat on the sofa next to Bai Mo.She looked at Bai Mo's face, that face was very calm, so calm that it was impossible to predict what was going on in his heart.Ye Ci didn't speak, and Bai Mo didn't speak either, the two of them just sat quietly, only the boring program on TV made loud and disturbing noises, which added an inexplicable contrast to this quietness Tune.

"Is the result what we guessed?" Bai Mo asked without knowing how long it took.

"Yes, and..." Ye Ci paused slightly, but did not continue.

"There are also thousands of mountains and setting sun wrapped in it." Bai Mo smiled. In fact, he had already expected it. Those upper and lower relationships were managed so well that even people like Bai Zixuan couldn't find out.

"You already knew." Ye Ci was not at all surprised by Bai Mo's foresight.Bai Mo's father was an official in a nearby city. This official was not too young. Since Bai Mo was young, Bai Zixuan's official career had been successful. It can be said that Bai Mo was born in such an officialdom.

Bai Mo has Bai Mo's past, which Ye Ci doesn't know.And Ye Ci also has Ye Ci's past, which Bai Mo doesn't know.They are just pure brothers and sisters together, but when they turn their backs, only I know who is what ghost and who is what kind of spirit.

Ye Ci sometimes thinks, in fact, a child from a family like Bai Mo is definitely not a child of a small family who has never seen anything in the world.Ye Ci couldn't guess what Bai Mo looked like on the other side, and he didn't want to.

She just needs to know that Bai Mo treats her very well.

"Yue Qingqiu told me a very boring story, do you want to listen to it?" Ye Ci used his fingers as a comb, gently shaved his hair, with a cold smile on his lips: "The result is very old-fashioned , and the process was bloody."

"Let's hear it, I'm just bored." Bai Mo took out a pack of cigarettes from somewhere, and lit one deftly.He and Ye Ci have been here for such a long time, in fact, Ye Ci has almost never seen Bai Mo smoking, but now seeing his proficient skills in lighting and holding cigarettes, he knows in his heart that maybe Bai Mo's smoking is not a daily thing.

She cocked the corner of her mouth, and then repeated to Bai Mo the boring story that Yue Qingqiu told her.Bai Mo didn't speak from the beginning to the end, but maintained a very serious listening attitude, and after Ye Ci finally ended the story, he laughed: "No wonder you said it was boring, this story is indeed very boring. "Then he twitched the corner of his mouth again: "I said why my dad can't do anything here. It turns out that the county magistrate might as well take care of it now."

"What do you want to do?" Ye Ci suddenly asked.

"Don't worry about that." Bai Mo shook his head, there were some things he didn't want Ye Ci to know.

Seeing that Bai Mo insisted not to tell him, Ye Ci didn't ask any more questions, but told Bai Mo in reverse what Yue Qingqiu had advised him: "Qianshan Xieyang's family has a great career, not just being rich, but we are now His ability may not be able to deal with him, and Dong Yin's family should have made a comeback by now, so you should think twice before doing anything..."

Bai Mo waved his hand and signaled Ye Ci not to continue talking. It seemed that he didn't want to continue this topic, so Ye Ci stopped there and didn't continue talking.

"Ming Yuexing got a very good enchanting recipe, but the ingredients are hard to come by." Bai Mo changed the topic to another side.

"What enchanting formula?" Mingyuexing is now the only high-level casting master in the guild. There are thousands of weapons, armors and enchanting formulas produced by him. Every moonlight is something he makes, and he can earn money in the trading house Getting a large sum of money is one of the sources of money for making progress every day.

"Strength increases by 38, and weapon armor pieces increase by 50. In addition, it is said that there is a mysterious attribute, but the formula is sold out." Bai Mo talked about the game, and the expression on his face was pretty. Not much, but after reporting the properties of this piece of armor, he sighed again: "However, one of the materials is in short supply now. Even if we go up every day, the entire guild only has two pieces."

Ye Ci raised her eyebrows, she knew what Bai Mo was talking about.Although she paid little attention to what was stored in the guild warehouse, Ye Ci knew what it was just after Bai Mo said how rare it was.Although Bai Mo now only knows that this thing is not easy to get, but he has no idea what kind of crucial role this thing will play in the future development of the game.

"You mean Mithril, right?" Ye Ci smiled.

"Hey, to say that you are a master really did not underestimate you. As long as I bring up anything in the whole game, you can actually know." Bai Mo was very surprised by saying the name of this thing directly.

Ye Ci just smiled wryly, she knows everything about every detail.If Bai Mo is also reborn, he will definitely not be unfamiliar with this thing.You know, the prosperous age was almost ruined by fate because of this thing.

Mithril is an extremely precious metal in Western mythology.It is not only light but also very tough. More importantly, Mithril has a very mysterious attribute, which can greatly help its own attributes to improve.In other words, Mithril itself does not have any special effects, but it is like a magnifying glass. If you use it to create fire-attributed equipment, the damage caused by the fire-attributed equipment will be greatly magnified. Use it to create holy light attribute equipment, the damage caused by his holy light attribute will also be greatly increased.

More importantly, after the release of the new expansion piece "New Continent", the role of Mithril Mine has been infinitely magnified.

At that time, all players will find that all equipment produced in dungeons after level 70 must be worn with a close-fitting mithril shirt.As more and more players reached level 70, more and more people made dungeons, so the demand for Mithril became higher and higher.

You know, if you can't wear the equipment produced in the level 70 dungeon, then even if you get to level 80, you won't be able to enter the level 80 dungeon for adventure.In this way, from the public's point of view, the role of Mithril has been brought into play to infinity.

It is precisely because of this infinite magnification that fate almost collapsed.Of course, Ye Ci thought that the purpose of planning to enlarge the Mithril Mine at the beginning was nothing more than wanting the existence of a group of top players, but he did not expect that this point was firmly grasped by Shengshi, and he wanted to farm Mithril, which almost caused the game death.

Although Mithril Mine is very useful, but... After all, this thing is not rubbish on the bad street, but a rare and rare material, so until now, the production of Mithril Mine is basically dropped by the boss in the instance. Other than that, no one knew of any other way to obtain this precious thing.

Of course, of course, in the current game, only a few players, or in other words, only the major guilds of players with advanced life skills understand how rare and precious this thing is.For the majority of ordinary players, don't say they understand it, they haven't even heard of it.

However, is Mithril really the only way to obtain it?
Of course not, if Mithril can only be obtained through the drop of the boss, it is absolutely impossible for the later prosperity to use him to do anything earth-shattering.Mithril, as a mysterious and precious mineral, has always been hidden from everyone's eyes.

However, as long as it is a mineral, no matter how precious it is, there are veins, mines, and places where it can be excavated.

Mithril is definitely no exception.

This is how the game is designed.In the entire Destiny Continent, there are only four mithril veins, which are distributed on the four continents in the southeast, northwest, and this has never changed.Even if ten years later, a new continent and a new field are opened, this has not changed at all.The plan at that time was designed like this, in fact, it was just to prevent the four continents from the first four continents from being left without players due to the release of the later expansion packs, so the four mithril veins were only placed on these four continents superior.

However, none of them thought that after Shengshi came in, they didn't know what method they used to know the exact location of the four mithril veins, and then sent heavy troops to guard the mine veins, controlling all the mithril transactions in the game.

Such a control means that the price of Mithril is completely in the hands of the Prosperity Guild.They marked the price of Mithril so high that it was outrageously high.The players of the big guild can soak in the dungeon all day long, so there will be more or less Mithril production, but what about the retail players?In order to continue playing, he can only earn money desperately, and then exchange for a little mithril, which is extremely rare, to continue the game by himself.

After all, retail players are more than guild players, but the price of Mithril in Shengshi is changing three times a day, and it remains high. In order to make money, retail players have to turn to life professions. The economic structure has been changed, things are getting cheaper and cheaper, and the game coins in their hands are becoming less and less enough. Players have to inject a large amount of real coins into the game, and the large injection of real coins has attracted various corporate consortiums in reality. Putting more money into the game...

This is a terrifying chain, the source of which is in Shengshi's hands.The Prosperous Guild, which had always used numbers and massacres to overwhelm the game, this time in Destiny, it did not kill people as usual, nor did it use crowd tactics. Instead, it used an economic constraint that was more terrifying than massacres and crowd tactics. Make it fall apart.

When the situation was almost irreversible, Wang Jiangnan stepped forward and issued a military order. With the power of one person, he finally withstood all the pressure in such a raging sea.In the Glory Group in the previous life, this was a story that was widely circulated in private, and Ye Ci was also heard in the Glory Group.

It's just that such a story is wonderful to tell, but those who have never really experienced it will never know how that dark storm started, how it spread, and how it ended in the end.For those who listen to the story, it will always be just a story.It's just that for those who have experienced it, it was a trembling that made people shudder when they recalled it.

Ye Ci took a deep breath, she didn't even want to recall that storm.

Under such economic collapse, under such chaos, it seems that human nature has been given the greatest consideration.

Sometimes Ye Ci also thinks, maybe, in that storm, people can no longer tell the difference between the game and the reality.And isn't the self in the previous life also a person in this kind of confusion?
"What's the explosion rate of this thing?" Ye Ci withdrew his distant thoughts, looked at Bai Mo and asked.

"Don't mention it, the explosion rate of this thing is simply cheating. When the first piece exploded at the beginning, I found that it was a purple item, but there was no specific method of use on it, so I had to receive it in the guild warehouse. I always forgot I didn’t realize how useful this thing is until Mingyuexing excitedly came to me with the formula and asked for that piece of mithril! So I have been paying attention to collecting this thing, but unfortunately, the explosion rate is really high. It’s too low, you see, we’ve been making dungeons for half a year, and at most five pieces have been produced, I’ve already given three pieces to Ming Yuexing, and the remaining two pieces are left as decorations in the guild’s warehouse.” At the mention of this thing, Bai Mo shook his head and sighed endlessly.

Ye Ci smiled, she didn't tell Bai Mo that she had to rely on such low-level dungeons to save Mithril, that was just a dream.She didn't even tell Bai Mo that she actually knew the exact location of the mithril veins in the eastern continent. Not only did she know the location of the eastern continent, but she also knew the locations of the mithril veins in the other four continents.

It's best to pretend to discover these things by chance.It's just that the time has to be hurry up, because the time before the Prosperous Age Guild enters its destiny is getting shorter and shorter. If they wait until they enter their destiny to do these things, she's afraid it will be too late.

"Don't worry. Anyway, these things will come to fruition in the future. Since the game planner can design this thing, they will definitely not let it come out of nowhere. Why worry. Besides, although this armor piece is precious now, it is only used in us. , Aren’t level 3 weapons a bit wasteful? Everyone hurry up and level up to 40. Wouldn’t it be better to use level 60 weapons?” Ye Ci cleverly explained this to Bai Mo, after all, he wanted to be in a hurry I can't come in a hurry.

Bai Mo took a deep breath and nodded.

After Bai Mo knew the ins and outs of Dong Yin and Qian Shan Xieyang's joint clean-up of Ye Ci, he seemed very calm, as if nothing had happened.Since Ye Ci had already agreed not to care about how he would deal with Dong Yin and Qianshan Xieyang, it was naturally impossible to ask him any more.She was just thinking about how to use other people's hands to clean up all these disgusting people and things.For example, stealing warehouses as a small way of making trouble, although it can make people happy at the time, it will leave too much trouble for themselves, and it can't hurt the other party.What's more, if these tricks are used too much, they will definitely attract the attention of the other party, so if they want to deal with the other party, I'm afraid they will take precautions.

This time, Ye Ci has to do it or not, and he has to do it once he does it-cut the weeds and eradicate the roots!
But before that, she had to do only a little bit, keep a low profile, recharge her energy, and quietly wait for the opportunity to come.

The prosperous age is coming.But before the arrival of the Prosperous Guild, every player and every guild would still be living a normal life, and no one would be unable to eat or sleep because of this news.Everyone's life is still going on, so is Tiantianxiang, and Ye Ci is the same.

But it is worth mentioning that during this period, the official held a photo contest for players.There are two categories, one is video and the other is photo.The majority of players can actively contribute.For example, in the video category, there are three awards in the drama category, competition category and promotion category.The photo category consists of three categories: scenery, humanities team, and other miscellaneous items.This event is just an official test of the waters, and did not give players a lot of time, but even the official did not expect that there would be so many players participating, and the enthusiasm of the players would be so high, which also inspired the official to hold an event in the second year. The idea of ​​the same activity.Of course, this is all for later.

The important thing is that in this year's event, the works of several categories are really dizzying.

According to statistics, there are as many as hundreds of thousands of works in the video category alone, and millions of works in the photo category.The official even organized a huge jury to watch these works every day, and it took a full two weeks before the final selection was made.

Of course, the video category attracts the most attention is the drama category. Whether it is men, women, young or old, it is natural to pay special attention to the kind of lingering, comedy or tragedy stories.However, the competitive category is no exception. Most of the videos in the competitive category are videos of masters fighting. Although the attention is not as high as that of the drama category, it is also very popular.After all, masters are scarce, and videos of masters playing tricks are even more scarce.As for the publicity category, it is not so popular under the reflection of the other two categories.

The most noticeable category in the photo category is the humanities team category.Most of these guilds, large and small, made some exquisite photos to promote their guilds, which were particularly eye-catching.And the second is the scenery category.There are too many players in Destiny, their goal is not to raise a higher level, to be such a strongman, they care more about traveling through the mountains and rivers in Destiny.The art of fate is really powerful, even in a desolate cemetery with dead bones, there will definitely be beautiful scenery that touches your soul.

As the saying goes, there is no shortage of beauty in this world, only the eyes to discover beauty.

And these players just acted as the eyes that discover beauty.Their footprints are all over Destiny, no matter whether the map is extremely dangerous or not, and whether the map is barren or not.They took countless beautiful photos with their beautiful eyes.This makes all the players, even the game's artist, can't help but marvel, wow, it turns out that this map still has such a beautiful scenery.

It is for this reason that most of the comments after a category of landscape photos are responses from players asking for coordinates.It seems that many players can't help but want to leave their best memories there.

It stands to reason that the photo category is not as popular as the video category.In the photo category, other miscellaneous categories are not as popular as the humanities team and scenery.However, this year has been a bit of an odd anomaly.Other miscellaneous categories have received extremely hot attention from players, and such attention has even affected the video category.

This reason actually has something to do with Ye Ci.In the team she was in when she met Liu Nian that day, there was a MM who was good at discovering gossip—yes, you remember correctly, she is Man Man Yue Guang.

At that time, she made a video of everything about Ye Ci and Fleeting Years and took a lot of photos.

And the group of photos that caught the players' attention was the continuous shooting of Fleeting Years and Ye Ci when the duel was about to end.It clearly recorded how Fleeting Nian failed to attack Young Master You, but was kicked down instead, and how he fell on the sand with Young Master You.If the photos mentioned here only record the fragments of the duel between two people, then the following photos are enough to arouse the players' guesses.

The following photos are a series of more than a dozen shots, but the angles of the scenes and characters are all exactly the same.The only difference is the time recorded by the system on the photo, and the words written under the photo by the moonlight.

The scene was like this: Liu Nian was lying on the ground holding Gong Ziyou's ankle, and Gong Ziyou was also lying on the ground.The yellow sand billowed around the two of them, creating a desolate scene.

And the words marked under the photo by the long moonlight are like this.The first one: "Gong Ziyou and Liu Nian have been lying on the floor for five seconds, but they haven't moved. From the situation in my team, it shows that Gong Ziyou hasn't hung up..."

For the next dozen or so photos, the descriptions behind are basically the same, the only thing that changes is the time.Especially in the annotations of the last few photos, the irresistible gossip of the photographer, Man Man Yueguang, has been vented.She wrote: "What the hell are they doing lying there! What the hell are they talking about! I really want to know! Do you want to know!!"

"Oh my god, this is obviously not a pushover. Why are they lying on the ground and can't get up? It's hard for the two great gods to look at the stars and the moon, talking about poetry and poetry, and then talking about life ideals? Crazy , I really want to know!"
"How long are you guys going to lie down? If you must lie down, can you stage some hot scenes? Don't just lie down and look like a dead body! Don't you hear the audience's voice? We ask for more scenes, ask for more scenes! !!"

……

After sighing in these few photos, the next photo is the photo of the two standing up.At that time, the battle was over, and the two seemed to be going their separate ways to bid farewell.At this time, there was a comment on the photo: "Do you think it's over after you get here? Have you thought about posting it? Then you are definitely not a qualified gossip player! Remember, the bright spot is always at the end!"

It is precisely because of this comment that the players who have held up many posts that were about to leave have been patiently seeing the end of the photo.

The last photo is actually a scene of Liu Nian bending over to talk to Ye Ci, but because of the position of Manman Yueguang and the different shooting angles, it is easy to be misunderstood.And there are only a few words under this photo: "It can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words."

This is the end of the photos, but Manman Yueguang explained that this group of photos was just taken by me by chance. If you want to watch the dynamics, you may wish to find the video she posted at the same time under the competition category of the video.

This was originally just a boring gossip shared by a little gossip girl who couldn't bear the excitement to share with all the players.But in the fictional plot story full of screens, the real events brought about by such real characters are like a huge bomb suddenly exploded in the players, and the fluctuations caused can be described as turbulent waves.

Overnight, a hundred replies to one-page posts turned over dozens of pages, and there was a trend of geometric superimposition.

And there is no shortage of explosive points in the reply.

"Weakly raise your hand and ask, are they in KISS in the last photo?"

"The spoiler upstairs!"

"Highlights."

……

"The MM god who took the photo commented!"

"Sure enough, it's full of adultery!"

"Even people from the Eastern and Western Continents can break through the resistance to be together, even Liu Nian and Gongzi You can do this. In an instant, I believe in love again."

……

"I absolutely don't believe it! Fleeting Nian is the top god in our Western Continent. Such a person can fall in love with Young Master You, and the whole of Young Master You is the same as before and after. Fleeting Years is not a joke, and it is impossible for anyone to find Young Master You!"

"Yes, we absolutely don't believe this group of photos! You can see that the last photo only shows Gong Ziyou's back, but from our point of view, there seems to be something between the two of them, but there is absolutely nothing! Don't desecrate our fleeting years big!"

……

"What's wrong with Young Master You! He is so skinny and beautiful! How can he not be worthy of the silver-haired bastard Fleeting Nian! Do you think you are a bully in the Western Continent? Tell you! Lord You, Young Master You, would not want someone like Fleeting Nian of!"

"Support! Our young master You absolutely despise Fleeting Years. Think about it, if the two of them form a team, their equipment will conflict!! Support Mr. Young Master You, the silver-haired bastard who despises the Western Continent wants to take this opportunity to attack our Eastern Continent idea!"

……

Any post, as long as it is too hot, can turn into a huge fight in the end.This post was no exception. From the beginning of exposing gossip, it developed into a fight between players from the east and west continents, and the irrelevant persuasion from the north and south continents added fuel to the fire.

And when Ye Ci knew about it, it was a bit outdated.At that time, it had been three days since the players from the two continents in the east and west had been fighting each other. She looked at the post and felt that the world was in darkness.With the idea of ​​saying too many mistakes, she did not come out to clarify the matter at the request of the majority of gossip players, and it seems that Fleeting Years did not.

Facing the huge gossip enthusiasm of the players throughout the game, the two people in the center of the vortex were surprisingly calm, as if they were dead.However, the more silence there is, the more uncomfortable it is for the player to scratch like a cat scratching.

Ye Ci thought, as long as this silence continues, these boring players will get tired of this matter sooner or later, so let's ignore them even more.Anyway, in Ye Ci's heart, the clearer is clearer, she is just her, there is no need to live under the tongues of other players.What's more, she has more important things to do now.

However, Ye Ci never thought that at the end of this farce, Fleeting Nian unexpectedly jumped out unwilling to be lonely.

In the post on that tall building, he posted three replies in a row.

The first one is: Yeah, the quality of the host MM’s game warehouse is not very good, the photos taken are obviously unclear and unprofessional~
The second is: Why do you want to know what I discussed with the young master so much?In fact, it's just an inconspicuous little agreement.

The third item is: In addition, did you, the poster, MM, ask for the opinions of the parties when posting videos and photos?If the little prince agrees, I agree with both hands.If the young master objects, MM be careful not to let me see you, otherwise...

It was these two replies that made the gossip photo incident, which had already come to an end, set off a new climax again, and this time the climax was even more violent than the last one.It was so violent that Ye Ci had to unilaterally request the official to delete the post.

The reason is that these photos and videos were taken without my consent at all, so I asked to delete them.In fact, this point can completely delete the post, but obviously the official guys are also deeply interested in this gossip.

When Ye Ci asked to delete the photos, the customer service MM who answered the phone actually asked quietly: "Young Master You, did you really kiss Fleeting Years? In the game."

Ye Ci almost screamed at that time: "No! What's your job number! I want to complain!"

The little MM was so scared that she quickly called her customer service manager to deal with such things. Obviously, the customer service manager was much more skilled in handling these things than the little MM.He told Ye Ci that because there are two people involved in the photo, he needs to ask for Liu Nian's opinion. If Liu Nian agrees, the post will be deleted immediately. If Liu Nian disagrees, they can only wait for the two people to reach a consensus and they will deal with it. .

Such an answer made Ye Ci almost scold her.Where is she going to find Fleeting Years!Isn't this obviously cheating?
So, in the end, Ye Ci didn't get what he wanted, and this post became the tallest building in the Destiny Forum that year and was recorded in history.The end of the event was due to the fact that the entire photo contest came to an end, and Long Moonlight became the biggest winner.

She won No.1 in other categories of photos by herself, and got a huge bonus.And this video was originally a favorite for winning awards in the competitive category, but because it was repeated with the photo, it was not included in the award rankings.However, Manlong Yueguang won another special reward because of this post - "Annual Gossip Award".

If this is just the big winner of Long Moonlight, then the most shocking thing is that Fleeting Year was awarded the "Best Instigator Award" in this incident...

And Ye Ci also won an award - "The Most Silent Protagonist Award".

Although the grand prize was officially awarded a very objective bonus, Ye Ci was troubled in her heart. This was probably the first time in her life that she felt that money was hot.Especially when she saw the money in the mailbox, she really felt that everything was sad.

She obviously didn't do anything, so why is it that she seems to have done something heinous, so people avoid her?

Regarding this matter, Jelly has a very incisive opinion: "What do you care about so much. As long as the money is in hand, other things are farts, don't mind."

Well, everything else is fart.

So, although this matter made Ye Ci very crazy, in the end, it was really a fart.It can be regarded as a small episode in her tense game life.Ye Ci has always been a person who is not likely to be affected by the environment, so even if this incident makes a big fuss, it does not affect Ye Ci's efforts to earn the Undead Medal and open up the Mithril vein.

Just as the gossip incident was raging, Ye Ci had already revealed a set of Bai Mo's suit.When Bai Mo saw this suit, his eyes were straightened. However, Bai Mo's current level is only 44, and there is still a long way to go before he puts on this suit.

As for the search for mithril veins, Ye Ci did not slow down.However, in her last life, she only knew the specific location of the Mithril mine, but she didn't know how to enter the Mithril vein. In the previous life, the Glory Guild never disclosed the secret of how to discover the Mithril mine. As a result, even if Ye Ci is standing outside the Mithril vein, she still can't find the way in.

Sitting on a dead tree stump outside the Mithril vein, Ye Ci took out the fine wine he had with him and poured it into his mouth.She looked at this vein...

Of course, it is a very large mountain now, and in a short time, it will become a huge mine pit, and from it will continuously produce the rarest and most precious ore in the game-Mithril.There will always be various killings and PKs around this ore vein, and their goal is the ore here.

Ye Ci can almost see the blood-stained roads that happened on this map in his last life when he almost closed his eyes.And what about this life?Will these things reappear in this life?In the prosperous age of the past, heavy troops were used to guard these mine veins, and players continued to loot and fight, so what about this life?The number of Tiantianxiang cannot be compared with Shengshi, so even if she discovers this mithril vein, how will Tiantianxiang defend it?
Time was so tight that Ye Ci also felt unprecedented pressure.
