Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Puppet Miner

Chu You relied on a wooden boat to reach a spiritual stone mine emanating a spectral glow once again.

Chu You now understood that the boat would reappear at the point it entered the river after some time if no one used it. Also, it could accommodate six people at a time.

Chu You disembarked at some random place. The waters around his little boat were filled with elite sea monsters. The cold gaze in their eyes was faintly visible.

Stepping onto the land, Chu You looked around and then walked in. The underground spiritual stone mine was enormous, and he was just at the edge of it.

The place was eerily silent, with the only sound being the dripping of water from above.

Spirit stones were embedded everywhere in the icy rocks, with gas flowing within them, which seemed quite impressive.

This place is not suitable, Chu You thought. He observed around and decided to go deeper.

With the spectral glow produced from the spirit stones, Chu You could vaguely discern signs of past human activity— rudimentary stone steps, rusty chains, and long-abandoned mining equipment.

He walked through a stone archway. A yawning chasm lay before him and narrow paths stretched on either side of him, only wide enough for one person to pass.

Hmm, if he went further down, he might find an ideal place...

A glimmer of affirmation flashed in his eyes. Chu You stepped onto the perilously narrow stony path with tranquility.

...

"Whoa, Platinum equipment!"

"Damn, there’s a skill book over there!"

"So many Gold Coins..."

"Five red noble pieces of equipment!"

"And rare materials!"

The moment the Level 10 BOSS fell, a massive amount of items emerged from its body, rolling in mid-air before falling on the ground.

"Huh, why can’t I pick it up?"

"Yeah, we can’t collect anything. What do we do if outsiders or thieves come by?"

Members of the Super God Guild realized that they couldn’t pick up the items that the BOSS dropped at their feet.

Zhao Feiyan retracted her gaze because Lin Luo had turned back to her original form.

With a slight smile on her face, Zhao Feiyan nodded and headed towards the BOSS’s corpse.

"Everyone, clear the way!" Zhao Feiyan yelled. Guild players instantly cleared a path for her.

Why couldn’t any guild members pick up the equipment dropped on the ground?

That’s because Zhao Feiyan had long-set the Guild Leader and Deputy Leader Acquisition Mode. Meaning, if their guild did more damage than any other group, then being a privileged manager, she had the right to acquire items dropped by monsters. Additionally, no one could pick up anything for one minute.

"Why are you still standing on the equipment? Move away quickly. You cannot pick up anything in Guild Leader Acquisition mode." Zhao Feiyan reached the spot where the equipment had dropped and explained this to the members present.

Hearing Zhao Feiyan, the players suddenly understood and quickly cleared an area. After that, Zhao Feiyan immediately picked up all the items and Gold Coins on the ground.

"Everyone, take a rest here. Replenish your mana and wait for the next activity." Zhao Feiyan said before leaving the place.

After arriving at the spot where only Lin Luo and Killing Commander were present, Zhao Feiyan handed all the acquired equipment and Gold Coins to Killing Commander.

The moment the BOSS dropped the equipment, Killing Commander had already started moving towards it to collect it. But when he saw Zhao Feiyan approaching, he stopped in his tracks. He began thinking about how to take those items back. These things belonged to his boss, after all. Although Zhao Feiyan had gained the favor of his boss for some unknown reason, she was still a stranger. If this woman insisted on keeping them, he might have to exercise his guild leader’s authority.

Fortunately, she didn’t embarrass him. Remembering what his boss had told him before, which was to maintain a good relationship with Zhao Feiyan, Killing Commander continued to wear a smile on his face.

"Feiyan, you’ve worked hard."

Zhao Feiyan nodded slightly, showing a faint smile, "Can you ask Night Ghost what we should do next?"

"Oh, you should talk to him directly about this. I’ll figure out how many points to set for these equipment." Killing Commander decided to let Zhao Feiyan speak to the boss directly.

Zhao Feiyan nodded, glanced at Lin Luo, and walked to one side.

...

Chu You had reached a relatively hidden area, probably a thousand meters deep since entering the stone-arched gate above.

Given its height, no players were likely to arrive here for the time being.

Chu You nodded to himself and then opened his backpack.

In his bag, there was a humanoid robot model occupying one slot, and the bottom right corner of the slot indicated the number ’5’, suggesting he had five of these robots.

’Puppet Miner’: Black Diamond Grade: Depositing this item in a mining area allows it to mine autonomously. Players can come to collect the mined ores at their convenience. But it must be summoned where there are ores.

Attribute: Mining rate: 2.3, Ore acquisition rate: 35%, Maximum load capacity: 15000, HP: 20000, Defense: 50 (Cannot be used as a weapon)

Chu You came here again because of these handy miners that could help him mine spirit stones.

From the attributes, it was evident that each Puppet Miner could mine a maximum of 15000 spirit stones. When it hits this capacity, the Puppet Miner would cease its operation.

At this point, the player would have to arrive from anywhere to collect the ores. Otherwise, the full-loaded Puppet Miner wouldn’t resume work.

The item description indicated that mined ores wouldn’t directly go to the player’s pocket. Players had to collect them personally.

Chu You also knew that if other players discovered the Puppet Miner and attacked it, the attacker could rob its mined stones once the miner lost its HP. This miner wouldn’t retaliate as it was only a tool for mining, lacking offensive and defensive abilities.

Therefore, Chu You decided to mine Spirit Stones in this secretive location.

Furthermore, Chu You was familiar with this Black Diamond Grade Puppet Miner. A forum in his previous life had stated some data about it. So, what data was it?

It was about how many ores could such a miner mine a day. And the answer was 500 Spirit Stones in a real day and 250 Spirit Stones in a game day.

Spirit Stone: Players can permanently enhance their attributes: Attack Power +2, Hit Rate +1, Critical Hit +0.2 by absorbing 50 Spirit Stones. The effects would continue to stack indefinitely.

Moreover, Spirit Stones were necessary for upgrading equipment and valuable materials needed in professional production.
