I’m Still Too Weak For the Starter SSS Talent

How old is the little girl?

On the way to the mine, Tang Zheng asked casually.

He kept Xiao Ye by Zheng Lanlan's side as a protection.

Such a little girl, when her father went out to mine, she played around alone, which was very dangerous.

I just turned six years old, so I'm lucky. After the transfer, my daughter was not far from me... Otherwise, I really can't imagine what would have happened... Especially the catastrophic rainstorm. Even if it was just a memory, Zheng Xun's Palpitations and fear were all over his face.

That torrential rain was simply a nightmare for all human beings. No one knew how many human beings would be left in two more rounds of catastrophe like this.

Where's your wife?

Mentioning this, Zheng Xun fell silent.

Tang Zheng didn't ask any more questions.

When the two came to the natural mine, Tang Zheng looked down towards the crack. It seemed that the ground had been torn open, with a depth of more than 30 meters.

Under the refraction of the sun, the exposed rock mass has a metallic luster.

This place is extremely rich in minerals, but most of the ores as far as the eye can see are attached to the cliffs, making it difficult to mine.

Boss, this way. Zheng Xun called out to Tang Zheng, then pointed to a gap dozens of meters away.

Tang Zheng just mentioned that there is no need to call the boss.

Tang Zheng felt inexplicably awkward when an elder brother who was ten years older than him yelled loudly.

But Zheng Xun insisted, Tang Zheng had no choice but to let him go.

Following Zheng Xun to the gap, Tang Zheng found that a ladder had been carved out on the way down to the mine.

The steps are steep and steep, and if you don't pay attention, you will fall into a 30-meter deep pit.

Surrounded by sharp-edged ores, it's hard not to die.

Did you chisel out this step?

Yes, when I first discovered this place, it was all these steep rock masses, and it was very difficult to go down to mine, so I dug out a ladder. Zheng Xun wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed, forming a pattern with his dark face. In contrast, it is white teeth.

Without the cover of the forest, this barren rocky hill looks extremely hot.

Tang Zheng glanced at the stairs leading directly to the bottom of the crack, and felt a little respectful for a moment.

At a height of more than 30 meters, relying on the most primitive tools to carve out a stepped passage bit by bit, and in the process, if there is any mistake, it may be a dead end.

Tang Zheng guessed that even in the first few days, he didn't dare to dig like this desperately.

Oh, Boss, you don't have to pity me. As if seeing through Tang Zheng's eyes, Zheng Xun sighed again: I used to be a high-level worker, and the tall buildings that are hundreds of meters high, go up to build walls, Laying tiles and doing waterproofing are much more dangerous than this. Now that I have been transferred to another world, I earn as much as I do every day, and I earn more than before, and my life is more comfortable than before.”

As he said this, the rough man looked back at the direction where his daughter was with tenderness on his face: When you have saved enough money, buy a construction puppet and open a greenhouse, and Lan Lan will have a secure life in the future. .”

Tang Zheng didn't see resentment in his eyes, but a bit of contentment and happiness.

In fact, think about it, how many people are displaced in this foreign world.

It is a great fortune for him to be with his daughter.

Boss, I'll go down first, follow me slowly. After a pause, Zheng Xun didn't waste any more time, facing Tang Zheng, holding the steps with his hand, he began to walk down bit by bit.

It is not so much a step as a ladder.

Zheng Xun stretched out his hand to hold on to the edge of the steps, pushed his hand down one step, and kicked his foot down one step, as if climbing a ladder, cautiously.

After he landed on the cracked ground, Tang Zheng followed closely behind him.

However, compared to Zheng Xun's cautiousness, Tang Zheng's 29-point basic strength gave him a great help at this moment.

The palms of both hands were pressed together on the steps, and with a little force, it was like a vise, firmly gripping the steps.

We went down to the mine smoothly.

This way, this is where I took your photo yesterday. Zheng Xun led the way and soon arrived at the destination.

Tang Zheng leaned forward to take a look, and immediately beamed with joy.

A large area of ​​saltpeter mines!

Spread over the entire wall.

Judging from the color of the rock mass, it looks like a brand new wall.

It should be a passage dug out by Zheng Xun in the past two days.

Roughly estimated, there must be at least 100 parts of saltpeter after purification.

Gunpowder is a weapon that kills civilization, so the more materials there are, the better.

Boss, I'll leave the rest to you. I really can't do it... Zheng Xun gave a wry smile, took a few steps back, and gave Tang Zheng his seat.

Tang Zheng turned his wrist, and a brand new iron pick appeared in his hand.

I'll go! Boss, you even have an iron pickaxe... Zheng Xun knew the goods, and after seeing the quality of the pickaxe in Tang Zheng's hand, he was surprised from ear to ear.

Tang Zheng thought of something, and asked again: Did you know me before? Or, have you met me?

Zheng Xun shook his head.

No wonder.

Tang Zheng was puzzled when he came. He had shown his face in the ruins before, and he was well-known in the forum.

But Zheng Xun didn't seem to hear anything outside the window. Apart from being the boss who paid his wages, he had no other identity.

What's the matter, boss?

No. Tang Zheng shook her head without explaining too much.

That's fine too.

Let's get along like this.

Soon, Tang Zheng picked up the pickaxe in his hand, aimed at a piece of saltpeter ore and smashed it down with all his strength.

Chime!

Tang Zheng's ears hurt a little from the sharp crashing sound.

A powerful counter-impact shook his arms, and his jaws ached.

Fortunately, he has the retreat enhancement, otherwise this blow might not be able to shock him back half a step.

The difficulty of mining this fine-grade mineral is too outrageous... Tang Zheng gritted his teeth and thought to himself.

But saltpeter is an irreplaceable material for gunpowder, and he has no intention of giving up.

Without further ado, he raised the pickaxe again.

Hey!

Chime!

drink!

Chime!

Chime!

Chime!

In the huge cave, the knocking sound echoed again and again.

At first Zheng Xun saw that it was difficult for Tang Zheng to mine saltpeter, so he thought he was going to give up.

After all, today's young people are no less willing to endure hardships than rough men in their thirties and forties like him, especially those who look like small businessmen with money in their pockets, and they are not willing to waste their efforts in vain.

But gradually, with Tang Zheng's non-stop movements, Zheng Xun's eyes showed a bit of surprise and emotion.

One click, another click.

The iron pick slammed into the solid mineral, making a piercing sound.

The pick has started to wear out.

He didn't give up.

Every time you drop your hand, the effect is negligible.

It is lucky to be able to splash a little spark.

He didn't give up.

On both palms, the jaws of the tiger had been rubbed red, and the wrists were shaking slightly.

He still didn't give up.

The speed is not fast, and the speed of each drop is not fast.

But with the strength that fell, I could feel that I was trying my best every time.

The boss I'm following doesn't just seem to have a business mind... Zheng Xun thought to himself.

Of course, Tang Zheng couldn't hear these thoughts.

There is only one goal in his mind right now.

At least one piece of saltpeter should be mined.

Without the saltpeter mine, subsequent development would be greatly hindered, although he has been leading the world for half a month.

But only in the lead of the Stone Age and Bronze Age.

It's only a matter of time before others can complete those side quests.

If he's stuck making gunpowder, he's stuck in place.

After a long time, others will catch up sooner or later.

Saltpeter mine, must have.

Chime!

After another moment, Tang Zheng paused.

One end of the pickaxe was worn out, and even the tip of the pickaxe was broken.

Check out the saltpeter mine.

From being intact just now, he has dug out a hole with an opening of about 10 centimeters.

There was a lot of debris splashed around.

Cut it at another angle, it should be soon. Tang Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Nearly half of the 17 points of physical strength has been consumed. If it is an ordinary person, he is already exhausted by this time.

But he still has strength.

The deflection is switched to another angle, and the pickaxe is switched sides.

Keep chiseling!

Time flies bit by bit.

In a blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

Crack!

Finally, a cracking sound sounded.

The saltpeter mine in front of him fell off the rock mass.

The saltpeter mine, which was only the size of a palm, drained all of Tang Zheng's strength.

【Ding! Congratulations on successfully collecting 'Saltpeter Ore (Exquisite Grade)', physical strength +1! 】

Good guy, I actually gave 1 point of stamina directly once.

It was not in vain that he almost exhausted his physical strength to dig such a large piece.

Boss! Awesome! Zheng Xun also gave Tang Zheng a thumbs up.

This place is very rich in minerals. You can go over there and look around to see if there are any sulfur mines. Tang Zheng threw the saltpeter mines he got into his backpack (inventory), and pointed Zheng Xun in a random direction .

I also started looking in the opposite direction.

The so-called good things come in pairs, even luck can't stop God.

Ten minutes later, Tang Zheng really spotted the shadow of the sulfur mine.

At the corner wall at the very end of the crack, people can't get through, but there is a thin crack from which some color changes can be seen.

No wonder Zheng Xun couldn't find it.

Without further ado, Tang Zheng took out the incomplete pickaxe and began to chisel.

The surrounding walls are all granite, and the iron pickaxe has +8 points of strength, 37 points of strength, one pick is a stone, and the efficiency is very fast.

Soon, the hole was widened to the size that people could enter, Tang Zheng got in and continued to chisel.

When you lose your energy, just eat a tortilla.

In the end, Tang Zheng was so full of herself...

But fortunately, the sulfur mine was finally in hand.

At this time, the tiger's mouth of both hands was already full of blood, and the skin and flesh were exposed, which looked very scary.

However, considering Tang Zheng's current physique, this minor injury recovered very quickly.

The materials were complete, and Tang Zheng didn't delay any longer, and was ready to go home!

Boss, are you going to go back now? Let's go after eating something. Zheng Xun enthusiastically persuaded him to stay.

Tang Zheng politely refused.

If he stays, Zheng Xun will definitely replace him with good wine and good food to entertain him, and one meal may completely consume a day's wages.

For such a father who tried his best to give his child a happy future, Tang Zheng couldn't bear to let him spend more meaningless money.

certainly.

Tang Zheng was not going to give him any financial help either.

Because once a helping hand is given, it is a disguised admission that the other party is a weak person.

Is Zheng Xun weak?

Tang Zheng thought he was a man.

Wei Wei's stooped back is carrying a heavy load.

In this world, even if civilization is destroyed.

But there are still countless ordinary people who have fallen into the dust.

With the body of a mortal, he can stand shoulder to shoulder with a god.

You work hard, and you won't lose a cent of your wages. In the future, if you can independently mine sulfur mines or saltpeter mines, I will accept them all, 5 virtual coins a share.

Really? Zheng Xun's eyes lit up when he heard this.

One serving is 5 virtual coins...

If you can dig up a dozen or so copies a day, in about half a month, I am afraid that even the building puppets and the greenhouse can be opened together.

Thank you, thank you boss! Zheng Xun thanked repeatedly, his voice a little choked up: I will definitely work hard to do my job well!

He knew that Tang Zheng was helping him in different ways.

Let him rely on his own efforts to make money.

The money obtained in this way is safe in the hand.

In the helpless foreign world, people's hearts are the coldest.

But the heart is also the warmest.

Before leaving, Zheng Lanlan poked her head out from behind the boulder again, and reluctantly waved at Tang Zheng.

Is brother going home? Goodbye brother~ goodbye big cat.

As if Xiaoye could understand human speech, she also raised her front paw and waved it.

Tang Zheng also smiled and waved goodbye.

After staying for a long time in this different world where I struggle every day to survive, the smile of an innocent child can really heal people.

On the way home, I left it to Xiaoye to hurry, and Tang Zheng took the time to click on the forum post to read.

But I found that many players were discussing one thing.

[Brothers, the dogs from Area 81 seem to have come to our area. ]

[It seems to be bringing a team over, saying that they want to borrow some resources or something. ]

[Is Area 81 close to us? ]

[Northwest direction, they seem to be next to each other. ]

...

[damn it! Grass! Those dogs in Area 81 took over the house I worked so hard to build! just now! ]

[What the hell? So arrogant? ]

[Damn it, the team leader seems to have entered the Bronze Civilization, holding an iron weapon in his hand, I dare not fight back... Is there any good brother to help me, my coordinates are...]

[Hiss... Bronze Civilization, I can't afford to provoke you...]

[The coordinates are too far away, there is no way...]

[Hey, admit it, Area 81 is a bandit area. ]

Tang Zheng looked at the forum posts calmly.

Some players in Area 81 invaded the boundary of Area 96, and even injured and seized houses.

These dogs are very arrogant.

But Tang Zheng didn't intend to pay attention.

Other people's affairs have nothing to do with him.

Even if it is in one district, this kind of phenomenon will continue to emerge in the future and cannot be eliminated.

He is not a living Bodhisattva who saves suffering. If everyone takes care of it, he won't have time to develop his own.

Only when your fist is stronger than everyone, will you have the right to speak. Tang Zheng knows this better than anyone else.

When I got home, it was already afternoon.

After Tang Zheng cut the paper made by Malphite, it continued to be distributed on the forum for free.

There is no need to be greedy for this small gain, and the most important thing is to establish a good reputation.

Then, the wood was burned all afternoon.

Because the synthesis of gunpowder requires the use of fully burned charcoal.

How much is prepared here, look back and see which one has the best quality, and throw in the one to synthesize.

The production of gunpowder is relatively simple for Tang Zheng. Three different materials can be synthesized by throwing them into the synthesis table.

After some busy work, the night was dark.

Heideng blinded fire and couldn't see anything, Tang Zheng decided to synthesize gunpowder tomorrow at dawn.

Take a shower and lie down.

The injury on his hand had already begun to scab over, his physique at 12 points was really not changed, and his recovery ability was very fast.

Tomorrow the gunpowder will come out, and the rice will be ripe. After harvesting, let's plant the rare fruits, and by the way, let's see how the cloth is made. Tang Zheng planned tomorrow's affairs in his mind.

Just turned on the light curtain.

Several scarlet unread message prompts pierced his eyes.

Sender: Gold Miner

[Boss help! ! ]

[Boss, a group of people came over just now, with weapons in their hands, and their looks are not good. I'm a little scared. I really don't know who to turn to for help. I'm very sorry to bother you. ]

[They haven't left yet. ]

[They found my daughter! ]

The information stopped abruptly, and there was no follow-up text.

Tang Zheng was startled, and clicked on another message.

Sender: Little Fairy Lanlan

[Big brother...my dad is dead...I'm so scared...]

Tang Zheng's face darkened instantly.
