Chapter 81 - Blue Iron Ore Mines!
Chapter 81: Blue Iron Ore Mines!
“His injuries were too severe. His chest collapsed, and his fractured ribs almost pierced his heart.”
At this point, Priest Gran looked at Tru and laughed. “Commander Tru’s technique is really powerful. He can always leave someone alive on the brink of death.”
“One who is surnamed Gu, don’t talk nonsense.”
Tru glared. He was just following his lord’s orders, alright?
He had originally wanted to hammer this fellow to death with his axe. Who asked him to be so lucky?
“Alright, stop arguing. I need to know the exact details.”
Lin Ye stopped the two of them from arguing. “Can you save him? How long will it take?”
“I can,” Gran confirmed. “After I advanced to Class 4, the power of the Sacred Healing has increased greatly. Other than fatal injuries, ordinary serious injuries can be treated. As for the specific time needed, it will require two Sacred Healing sessions a day. It will take seven days at most for him to be saved. With healing pills, it will be much easier. If it’s fast, it will take half a day. If it’s slow, it will take two days.”
“Half a day. Not bad.” Lin Ye nodded.
Seven days or the likes of it was naturally ignored by him.
Time was money these days. Seven days would be too slow. What was the use of having him if it took that long?
Coincidentally, Zhang Liang’s father also needed healing pills. He would settle them together when the time came.
He hoped that he would not be ignorant when he woke up.
“My lord, if something like a magic staff drops from the treasure chests, please keep it for me. It doesn’t need to be of an extremely good quality, just a Class 4 Silver Tier weapon will do. It’s best if it’s a holy attribute magic staff. With the proper equipment, I might be able to heal him instantly,” Gran suddenly said.
Just now, he saw that his lord had obtained a large number of treasure chests. Last time, other than upgrading scrolls, he did not obtain any substantial treasures.
Learning from his past mistakes, he knew that he had to mention this in advance.
“Oh, old fellow, you finally stopped pretending. I thought you were still going to act noble and great.” Lin Ye chuckled.
“There’s no need to be so formal with my lord since we’re family. I’ll just be a layman for once.”
Gran smiled back.
His expression was somewhat similar to Lin Ye’s.
“You’re not allowed to learn from me!”
Lin Ye cast a sidelong glance at him. This old fellow didn’t learn well and even liked to take advantage of these small things.
Upon hearing this, Priest Gran’s smile froze.
This was a professional habit. He was used to being targeted by the archbishop and could not help but imitate his superior’s expression.
“My lord, Lin Dachui is looking for you. He said that he found a treasure and wanted you to go take a look.”
At this moment, a personal guard walked over and reported in a low voice.
“Treasure!”
Lin Ye’s eyes lit up when he heard this word. He turned around and forgot about Lin Hai.
“Where? Bring me there quickly.”
Lin Ye was overjoyed and followed the guard.
A moment later, he arrived at the back of Lin Hai’s territory. A magical crack appeared in front of him, and a blue metallic luster emitted from within.
Lin Dachui and a few native workers were watching when they saw Lin Ye arrive.
Lin Dachui hurriedly went up to welcome him. He pointed at the rocky crevice and laughed. “My lord, look! It’s a blue iron ore mine! We’re in luck!”
“Blue iron ore mine? Blue ore mines? It gives blue tier weapons?” Lin Ye guessed.
“My lord is wise. Dachui is impressed.”
Lin Dachui was shocked. He had only said a name, but the lord had already guessed it.
“Stop bootlicking. A serious question. What’s the difference between this and the blue tier weapons produced by our own Armory?” Lin Ye asked.
“In the Armory, even if there are blueprints, the items produced will mostly be of beginner, intermediate, and advanced quality. Only when blue iron ore is added to it can it be upgraded to its peak quality. Both its defensive and offensive power will be greatly improved.”
Lin Dachui stared at the blue iron ore mine with a burning gaze. He clicked his tongue and said, “Moreover, according to my decades of experience, this mine is definitely not an ordinary blue iron ore mine. An ordinary blue iron ore mine doesn’t have such a strong luster. Perhaps its core has evolved into purple iron ore.”
Actually, what he said was modest. He did not dare to spout nonsense.
The luster of this blue iron ore was almost comparable to the intermediate silver iron ore which he had seen before. Its core must not be underestimated.
“Purple Iron Ore!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Ye’s interest was piqued.
According to Lin Dachui’s deduction, if it was true…
When the time came, the Protector’s Armor and the New Moon Battle Axe would be strengthened, and the overall combat power of the wolf cavalry team would be greatly increased.
Moreover, once the blueprint for a Class 3 weapon dropped, he would immediately take off.
In the early stages, he was definitely the only one in the world to create Class 3 equipment in a streamlined process.
Once the market opened, he could use one purple tier weapon to exchange for ten treasure chests, wouldn’t that be a huge gain for him?
Bleh. Purple tier weapons my a**. Even I myself wasn’t fully equipped with purple tier things. It would be better to consider the trading using Class 2 blue tier weapons instead.
Lin Ye thought for a moment and hurriedly said, “Then what are we waiting for? Dig!”
“But the blueprint for the mining factory is still with you, my lord,” Lin Dachui said aggrievedly.
“I forgot, I forgot.”
Lin Ye laughed and quickly took out his Civilization Archive and went to the page of the bunker.
He remembered that when he leveled up to Level 4 or 5, its new function seemed to be the mining factory.
Later on, when he leveled up to Level 6, it gave him a higher-level mining factory.
However, at that time, the area he was in had only ordinary stone. There were no forging type ores at all.
Without ores, something worthless like this was thrown into the cold palace by him.
After searching for about ten seconds, he finally found it.
He casually handed the blueprint to one of the native workers. He narrowed his eyes and found it familiar. “You’re from Lin One’s family?”
“I’m Lin One’s cousin. My name is Lin Tianhu! The people beside me are Lin Tianbao, Lin Tianlong, and Lin Tianzhu!”
The one called Lin Tianhu had a simple and honest expression as he said with a smile, “My lord might not know, but the few of us are the Tian generation disciples of our Lin clan.”
“Interesting.” Lin Ye nodded.
He had seen their names in the archive room. They were all native workers ranked at the front.
In terms of construction, they were far more talented than people from their own clan. No wonder Lin One brought them here.
If the four sacred halls had more slots, he might be able to give them a chance.
With this thought in mind, across from him, the four Lin brothers took the blueprint and started their work at the blue iron mine.
Bang bang—
Experience +30, Experience +30, Experience +30, Experience +30…
[Level 3 Mining Factory x4. Requires 5 hours]
When a new building type was built, the experience points it gave would be much higher than other buildings.
Soon, the four of them reached the peak of advanced native workers. Without the upgrade scrolls, it was difficult for them to advance to the next level.
“My lord, I think we should build a small base here in the future,” Lin Dachui suggested while it was still early.
He still felt that there was something strange with this blue iron ore mine. He had to protect it with all his might.
If he was not afraid that his lord would scold him, he would have suggested building a large fortress here that was not weaker than the one at their base.
“What small base? If we want to build one, make it big!”
With a straight face, Lin Ye lectured in all seriousness, “My brothers are wholeheartedly following me. How can I let my brothers risk their lives at the mining factory? If someone attacks, wouldn’t they be dead meat?”
“Yes, yes, my lord. You’re right.” Lin Dachui was sweating profusely.
He almost forgot that his lord was a legendary wealthy man who did not care about money.
“That’s settled for now then. I’ll get the money,” Lin Ye said and ran off.
“!!!”
