Bab 25: Chapter 25 - Mining Technique

Broken spent some time gathering information about the location of the mining cave. Once he knew where it was, he set off, exiting the city wall and crossing the grassy plains toward the mountains, passing through a forest.

He walked with Polly, trotting beside him, taking time to enjoy the journey through the grassy fields and savoring the beauty of the game that he couldn't find in the real world.

"How do the miners carry their ores, Master?" Polly asked in a soft voice as she ran through the grass, her small body nearly hidden by the tall grass and reeds.

"They bring their ores down from the mountain and then use carriages to transport them to the city. At least, that's what I learned after gathering information about the miners," Broken replied, reflecting on his newfound knowledge about their profession.

After some time, they reached the edge of the forest, where tall trees lined the path leading to the mountains. A well-trodden trail created by the locals, wound its way up into the forest. Fortunately, the forest in this area was free of high-level monsters, making it safe for the locals to mine, gather wood, or hunt for food.

"Come, Polly," Broken said. Polly responded by transforming into her larger form, running in circles with enthusiasm. Broken quickly mounted the fox, and they set off.

It had been a long and tiring trek to reach the mining cave. The winding paths of the mountains were not an easy feat to conquer, and it could take hours to reach the destination. Luckily, Broken had the luxury of riding Polly, and they swiftly made their way towards the cave concealed among the towering trees.

The route to the cave was a challenging one, with steep inclines that made it a difficult journey for those on foot. However, with Polly as his trusty steed, Broken was able to cover the distance in a fraction of the time. They soon arrived at the entrance of the cave, which was camouflaged by a small cluster of trees.

As he approached the cave, he noticed its wide entrance, spacious enough to accommodate a group of twenty people. The land surrounding the cave was sparsely vegetated, with rugged rocks and a few forest trees. The echoing reverberations of mining and the voices of chatty people filtered through the entrance, indicating the presence of both NPCs and players inside.

"There are many miners inside," he whispered.

"Let's go, Polly," he muttered. He immediately stepped into the cave, followed by Polly, who scampered around his footsteps.

The sunlight slowly thinned as he walked deeper. Several sparkling stones adorned the walls of the cave, along with stone lamps made from Monster Cores hanging at intervals on the cave walls. These provided illumination, making the interior of the cave easier to see. Someone had also placed torches to further light the room.

The cave was partially wet, with water dripping from the walls and pooling on the floor, making it slippery. However, when Broken looked at Polly, she seemed unaffected by the slick surface.

"Master, I can walk on any surface—slippery, sandy, hard... and... I'm sure I could even run on water one day," she said enthusiastically, seeking her master's attention.

"I trust you, Polly," Broken replied, smiling at the little fox.

"Hey, who's there?" one of the miners shouted as Broken walked closer to the source of the noise.

"Hey, sorry, I'm just here to do some mining," he replied.

"Who are you?"

"I'm a beginner in mining. This is my first time."

"A beginner?" they said, rolling their eyes. "Tsk, go to that section over there. Don't bother us here; you'll only slow us down."

"Okay, thanks!" Broken replied, walking past them and following the direction they had pointed.

The miners continued their noisy work, chatting randomly with each other.

"You know, my neighbor's husband just drowned in the sea, attacked by a monster, hahaha."

"Is that the young, pretty neighbor you mentioned?"

"Yeah... now I can easily woo that widow, and I'm free to take her."

"Man, don't you already have a wife? Leave her for me."

"You think I should tell my wife? No! I'll enjoy her myself, hahaha."

"Hey, beginner, hurry up and go over there. Don't bother us in this area."

"But isn't that area already mined out?"

"It doesn't matter. He's just a player probably doing a quest, not actually working like us," they said, answering each other.

Broken walked away, feeling a bit annoyed by their conversation and realizing they were giving him a mining spot they had already exhausted.

"Do they really think this cave is theirs?" he muttered to himself, not realizing his words echoed through the cave and could be heard by the others.

"You better watch your mouth, beginner," one of them spat menacingly. "Or I'll shut it for you with my pickaxe."

"Yes, sir," Broken replied casually. "You better keep the pickaxe for the ores," he added.

"Shut up and do your job quietly!" they replied.

"How can someone mine quietly?" one of them added.

"That's not my problem to answer, hahaha," another retorted.

Broken grabbed his pickaxe and examined it for a moment, pondering how to use it. "But this place has already been stripped of ores, right? Which part can still be mined?" he wondered.

"I think they just smash the pickaxe against the rocks on the cave wall. Let's give that a shot," he decided.

He began slamming his pickaxe against the wall, but after a few moments, he saw no results. He needed to look for sections of rock that were slightly shinier than the rest, indicating the presence of iron ores. The concept was simpler than in the real world, but it still required precision and hard work to succeed.

"Hahaha, look at that stupid novice. He doesn't know what he's doing," they snickered.

"I think he came here to mine without knowing how to use a pickaxe."

"He's holding the pickaxe like a sword, hahaha, what a stupid player."

"Hey, you'd better get out of here before you make a fool of yourself," they jeered.

"They think they're smart."

"Players?"

"A few of them are smart, but most are just fools who want to have fun and act irresponsibly."

"They treat this place like a game, so it's no wonder they act brainlessly, haha."

Broken paid no attention to the people chattering around him and continued striking the pickaxe blindly, hoping it would work somehow. He just needed to keep at it until he unlocked something.

After a while, he persisted, and finally, he received a notification alerting him to his new skill.

[You have unlocked a new Mining Technique skill.]

[Mining Technique (Passive Skill) Lv. 1]

[By regularly using a pickaxe, one can hone their mining skills, become more effective while mining, and increase their chances of success when mining, thus enabling them to obtain higher-quality resources.]

"Nice, this is exactly what I need," he said with a grin. "Hehe." He chuckled in satisfaction, finally having acquired the skill he needed.

After gaining the skill he needed, Broken began mining again with renewed enthusiasm. He smiled eagerly as he struck the pickaxe against the cave walls with more vigor, repeating the action over and over until his efforts were finally rewarded.

He brought his pickaxe down hard against the rocky walls of the cave one last time, and something new happened. The rock was dislodged and flew into the air, transforming into a dark, slightly shiny chunk.

[You obtained 1 low-quality Iron Ore.]

A notification chimed in his vision, making him smile broadly.

"Now, see how the Divine Sloth Champion does his mining!" he declared to himself, glancing over at the other miners.

Bab 26: Chapter 26 - High-Quality Iron Ore

Broken continued to strike the pickaxe against the cave wall, repeating the action tirelessly. He had lost track of time in the cave, but throughout, he could still hear the miners chatting loudly with each other, their voices echoing more than the sound of their pickaxes hitting the rocks.

[You obtained 1 high-quality Iron Ore.]

Another notification appeared before Broken, and this time it was something unexpected—a high-quality Iron Ore. While there were three quality categories of Ore: Low, Medium, and High-quality, obtaining High-quality was the most difficult. But he had managed to get it on his second try.

Broken was silent for a moment, staring in disbelief at the iron ore he had obtained. "High-quality? Is this because of my Luck stat?" he asked with a hint of awe in his voice.

[Congratulations on obtaining High-Quality Iron Ore with a very low technical mining skill level—a feat that is not easily achieved!]

[You have rightfully earned the title of "A Blessed Miner"]

[For this amazing achievement, you receive 10 Stat Points and 5 Luck Stat points!]

"Damn! 10 Stat Points and 5 Luck stat just for this title?" he exclaimed in disbelief. "It seems something like this isn't easily done by anyone."

Broken chuckled in delight at the achievement he had just attained. Though he had hoped the title would give him some advantage in mining more easily, he couldn't complain because 10 stat points and 5 Luck stat were a significant reward!

"I guess I can mine non-stop until morning," he said excitedly and then continued his work with renewed vigor.

[You obtained 1 high-quality Iron Ore.]

[You obtained 1 low-quality Iron Ore.]

[You obtained 1 low-quality Iron Ore.]

[You obtained 1 medium-quality Iron Ore.]

Without noticing, the miners, who had previously only watched from a distance, suddenly approached and surrounded him. They stood silently with their mouths agape, watching what Broken was doing.

He stopped his work and glanced at the miners, furrowing his brows in confusion. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"You can acquire high-quality ores repeatedly without stopping like it's easy."

"Didn't you say this area didn't contain any iron ores?"

"There should still be some, but not this many."

"So, is he using some trick?"

"No way, I think he's just talented at mining."

"What tricks do you use? You're a beginner," they asked.

"I believe the pickaxe he used is a special pickaxe," one miner suggested.

"He's a player, so it's common for them to use their money to cheat their work."

"Yes, or maybe he's cheating somehow," another commented.

"Let us check the pickaxe you're using; it must be something expensive, right?"

"But isn't it just an ordinary pickaxe?"

"It may look ordinary, but it could be something expensive."

"The pickaxe he's using doesn't look special. I'm sure it's just an ordinary pickaxe."

"Then what is the explanation for why he can get high-quality ores over and over again like that? Do you think he was blessed by a deity or what? I don't believe it," another miner inquired.

Broken sighed and held up his pickaxe for them to see. "It's just a common pickaxe," he said, showing them its ordinary appearance.

One of the miners inspected it closely. "It really is just a common pickaxe," he admitted, looking perplexed.

"So how are you doing it?" another miner asked, clearly intrigued.

"I guess I just have a bit of luck on my side," Broken replied with a shrug.

The miners exchanged glances, still puzzled but somewhat convinced.

Broken paid no mind to the miners who continued to gather around him, and he continued to mine. He noticed they were watching him closely, so he moved to an area with more iron ores. Yet the miners still followed him, clearly curious.

[You obtained 1 high-quality Iron Ore.]

"Wow... Look at that, he's actually managed to get some high-quality Iron Ore!" one of the miners exclaimed in amazement.

"I can't believe my eyes!"

The others stared at Broken with admiration and awe.

"Hey, kiddo," one of them asked. "Who are you? I've never seen you around here before."

"You can see my name there," Broken replied, pointing towards the writing above his head. "Right?"

"Broken… what's broken about you? hahaha," they joked.

"I want to learn how he's doing his mining."

"He swings the pickaxe like he's holding a sword. I want to try it too."

"Yeah, that must be the secret."

Unexpectedly, quite a long time had passed, and the morning had arrived. They couldn't see the sunlight from inside the cave, but Broken knew from the clock in his system interface.

"I've been mining all night?!" he said in disbelief, glancing around the cave. He saw that the miners were still sitting and watching what he was doing.

"Hey, beginner," one of them said, "you're really good. I'm sure you'll become a famous miner in the future."

Another added, "Sorry I doubted you before. I hope to mine with you again next time."

"Are you leaving? You won't get rich with just a few ores. Stay with us here; it's great fun, mining day and night."

"Some people think we're like vampires, but this is how we make money."

"Yeah, teach us how to mine like you, boy."

"Hey, Broken," another miner exclaimed, "we can't thank you enough for inspiring us with your unique mining technique. It's truly remarkable. It's so broken!"

"Thank you for keeping me company all night. I enjoyed mining here, but I just needed a few ores," Broken said with a smile.

Broken glanced at his inventory, pleased to find he had more than enough to complete the quest from the mining association.

[35 pieces of low-quality iron ore]

[12 pieces of medium-quality iron ore]

[10 pieces of high-quality iron ore]

"Excellent, this should be enough," he said, giving a wave to the other miners. "See you all. Until next time!"

The miners cheered as Broken stepped out, heading towards the cave entrance.

After emerging from the cave, he quickly discarded his nearly ruined pickaxe and noticed that his mining skill had risen to level 2.

"I really feel the joy of having all these blessings. Thank you, Goddess Akidia," he said, and then he summoned Polly.

"Good morning, Master. I saw you having some fun doing the mining. Were you thinking of becoming a miner?" Polly greeted him, her body rapidly expanding.

"Not really, although I enjoyed it, I don't want to be stuck in a cave day and night," he replied.

He added, "Let's head back to the town, Polly."

Upon arriving in town, Broken approached the merchant who had given him the mining quest the day before and threw a large bag filled with iron ore onto the counter. He only handed over enough to complete the quest, with a combination of low, medium, and high-quality ores. The merchant was taken back, lifting his head to look at him.

"What is this?" the merchant inquired.

"The quest. What else? Now, give me my recommendation letter."

The merchant immediately opened the pouch, and his expression changed to one of shock. "You're saying that you managed to mine all of this in a single night?" he asked.

"Yup, you can confirm it yourself with the miners in that cave."

The merchant hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding. "Yes, I do believe you. I can provide you with the recommendation letter, and I'm assuming you would like me to buy these ores from you?" he asked.

"How much would you be willing to pay?" Broken hesitated.

"I can offer you 15 silver. That's the highest I can go."

"30 silver, or there won't be any deal."

"Alright, it's a deal!"
