Level 6 Mining Technique!

"What a stroke of luck! What a stroke of luck!!"

Jiang Yan was overjoyed when he saw the four reinforced reels in his backpack!

He looked at the interdimensional merchant who was still diligently mining and smiled, "Old man, thank you for your generosity! If I could, I would be willing to help you mine. If I happen to strike it rich, I wonder what you would do..."

Jiang Yan looked at the items on the list with burning eyes.

The interdimensional merchant sneered as he turned around: "Kid, you think you can mine the legendary ore just by using your cleverness to swindle a few enhancement scrolls from me? You're still too green!"

Jiang Yan hurriedly said, "Many things are better safe than sorry! What if I get lucky?"

Jiang Yan is definitely not one to act without expecting something in return; he would never feed the enhancement scroll to [Mining Technique] without some benefit!

"Luck?" The interdimensional merchant frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Alright, if you can help me mine the ore I need, I'll..."

As he spoke, the interdimensional merchant clicked on the list a few times.

Soon, a system notification sound appeared in Jiang Yan's ears:

[Ding~ The dimensional merchant has issued you a quest: Mine the legendary ore! Quest rewards: [Gem Finder] (Level 3) *1, [Golden Treasure Chest] *1, Golden Key *3, Enhancement Scroll *3! Quest failure penalty: 100,000 gold coins!]

[Accept/Decide?]

Jiang Yan was both surprised and delighted when he saw the system notification. He was delighted because he was rewarded with three enhancement scrolls, a [Golden Treasure Chest], and a level 3 [Gem Finder], but he was surprised by the penalty for failure!

100,000 gold coins?

Is this guy a shrewd businessman?

Jiang Yan cursed under his breath, but his hands moved quickly, and he immediately accepted the task!

Then, Jiang Yan took out an enhancement scroll, tore it open, and selected the enhancement skill [Mining Technique]!

[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for successfully upgrading their mining skill!]

Jiang Yan hurriedly opened the skill bar and looked at the Mining skill:

[Mining Skill] (Enhanced) lv3 (0/3000): There is a certain chance to mine metal ore from a vein using a pickaxe!

原本lv3（0/0）的【挖矿术】前面多了个强化，而且技能经验也从0变成了3000！

Jiang Yan immediately took out his pickaxe, went to the plane merchant's side, and began to dig for ore!

"Hmph!" The interdimensional merchant snorted coldly, but didn't chase the person away.

Dew!

Dew!

Dew!

[Ding~ Player's mining failed, Mining skill experience +1]

Dew!

Dew!

Dew!

[Ding~ Player's mining failed, Mining skill experience +1]

Jiang Yan was filled with excitement as he watched his mining skill experience gradually increase.

But before long, he began to despair.

As before, his mining skills failed every time, and he could only gain 1 experience point!

This won't do!

Jiang Yan stopped.

He thought for a moment, then said to the dimensional merchant, "Old man, I'll go outside and dig. I'll come back to help you after I've maxed out my skills!"

The dimensional merchant didn't say much.

Jiang Yan immediately turned and left.

Once outside in the mine tunnel, Jiang Yan used a pickaxe to practice his mining skills.

[Ding~ Congratulations, player, you have mined +5 quality pig iron. Mining skill experience +3]

[Ding~ Congratulations player, you have unearthed a +5 quality bronze mine. Mining skill experience +3]

[Ding~ Congratulations, player, you have mined a +4 quality black iron. Mining skill experience +3]

Seeing the series of successful system notifications, Jiang Yan became even more certain that the downward-sloping mine tunnel was no ordinary place!

So he dug even harder, and soon his backpack was filled with ores of all qualities and types.

Jiang Yan opened the game forum to check the prices of these ores. After confirming that they weren't worth much, he immediately threw out his backpack and continued digging.

Just then, his friend request to the femme fatale was accepted!

Beauty is a curse: Jiang Ziya, do you have time to chat?

Jiang Yan was bored while mining, so he was happy to have someone to chat with.

He replied: Of course there are. But doesn't the guild leader, who has just entered the main city, need to explore the new map?

Beauty is a curse: The new map won't move, there's no rush. But you, you might get kidnapped.

Jiang Yan pretended not to understand: What does the empress mean?

Beauty and Destruction: I'd like to invite you to join our [Beauty's Intoxication] guild! Salary and position are both negotiable!

Jiang Yan was somewhat surprised: Didn't [Red Beauty's Intoxication] not accept male players?

Beauty can be a curse: "Peak" deserves our change! And we will continue to recruit male players with good character and strong skills!

Jiang Yan: The guild leader, you have great courage, but I have no intention of joining the guild at the moment, I'm very sorry.

Beauty is a curse: No problem, contact me anytime you want to join! Also, if you have any good equipment or skill books you want to sell, feel free to contact me or Qingyanwu, they'll definitely fetch a high price!

Jiang Yan: Okay!

After the chat ended, Jiang Yan felt that the guild leader had a pretty good personality. If he were to join a guild in the future, 【Red Beauty's Drunkenness】 would definitely be a good choice.

But who can predict the future?

Jiang Yan continued to focus on mining.

[Ding~ Congratulations player, you have unearthed a +5 quality bronze mine. Mining skill experience +3]

[Ding~ Congratulations, player, you have mined a +3 quality black iron. Mining skill experience +3]

Before long, Jiang Yan's backpack was filled with various minerals again. After throwing them all out, Jiang Yan continued to dig furiously!

Two hours later.

Jiang Yan's mining skills have finally been upgraded!

[Mining Skill] (Enhanced) lv4 (0/0): There is a certain chance to mine metal ore from a vein using a pickaxe!

"With Lv4 mining skill, I should be able to mine now." Jiang Yan immediately rushed back to the ley line tunnel, and then...

Dew!

Dew!

Dew!

[Ding~ Player's mining failed]

Dew!

Dew!

Dew!

[Ding~ Player's mining failed]

Jiang Yan dug for ten minutes, and his face turned somewhat grim as he looked at the series of system failure messages.

Is it possible that level 4 mining skill can't even reach this spot?

Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and took out another reinforced roll, tearing it open.

[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for successfully upgrading their mining skill!]

[Mining Skill] (Enhanced) lv4 (0/6000): There is a certain chance to mine metal ore from a vein using a pickaxe!

continue!

Jiang Yan turned around and left the earth vein mine tunnel, frantically mining outside.

[Ding~ Congratulations, player, you have mined +9 quality pig iron. Mining skill experience +3]

[Ding~ Congratulations player, you have unearthed a +8 quality bronze mine. Mining skill experience +3]

[Ding~ Congratulations, player, you have mined a +8 quality black iron. Mining skill experience +3]

……

For the next four hours, Jiang Yan spent the rest of his time mining like crazy, except when he went offline to eat lunch. Just when he was starting to question his life, his mining skills finally leveled up again!

[Mining Skill] (Enhanced) lv5 (0/0): There is a certain chance to mine metal ore from a vein using a pickaxe!

"Surely we can dig through at level 5!" Jiang Yan said, carrying a pickaxe as he entered the vein mine.

However, a series of failure messages still appeared!

Jiang Yan was completely flustered and quickly ran to the bottom of the earth vein mine tunnel.

The dimensional merchant was still frantically digging in the corner when he heard a noise behind him. He turned around with a smile and asked, "What, did you find something?"

Jiang Yan shook his head with a wry smile: "Old man, I've already upgraded my mining skill to level 5, why can't I still mine anything?"

The interdimensional merchant sneered, "Kid, you'll only be able to mine this ore if you level up your Mining skill to level 6. You're still a long way off!"

Lv6?

Jiang Yan's heart skipped a beat: No wonder there were three enhancement scrolls in the mission rewards, they were compensation for my mining skill upgrade!

Jiang Yan glanced at his sin value, which was still 320. It would take at least 16 hours to clear his name!

Since there was still time... Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and took out the third enhancement scroll to continue enhancing the mining technique!

[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for successfully upgrading their mining skill!]

[Mining Skill] (Enhanced) lv5 (0/12000): There is a certain chance to mine metal ore from a vein using a pickaxe!
