The logisticians at the safety station were immediately alarmed.
“The Earth Dragon King on the tenth floor is starting to get restless again. Every time it gets restless, it will cause the demon beasts in the Giant Rock Cave to go berserk in advance.”
“Quickly release a warning and get the wasteland reclaimers to return early. We can’t stay outside!”
Soon, the announcement for the safety station sounded.
“Restless Earth Dragon King! Restless Earth Dragon King! All wasteland reclaimers, please pay attention and return to the safety station immediately! Return to the safety station immediately!”
The alarm echoed in the huge rock cave. As long as one was not deaf, they would be able to hear this ear-piercing sound from hundreds of meters below the ground.
Lin Xuan shrugged.
There were ten mystic realm kings living on the tenth level.
The tenth floor’s mystic realm kings were transformed from level nine Zero Realm demon beasts on the ninth floor. After transforming, they would obtain a 15% increase in all their attributes and also receive a random precious purple skill bestowed by the Giant Rock Cave.
Of course, even so, as long as the wasteland reclaimers formed a team, they could still kill the mystic realm kings.
The other nine mystic realm kings would quickly be killed and replaced by new ones. Only the Earth Dragon King was extremely difficult to kill. In the past half a year, no one had been able to slay it and it had stayed on the tenth floor. In this half a year, countless wasteland reclaimers had died under the Earth Dragon King’s claws.
Because of this, the Earth Dragon King was given a new title by the Giant Rock Cave: “experienced mystic realm king”. In other words, it was a mystic realm king who had experienced many battles.
After obtaining this title, the Earth Dragon King’s attributes increased by 15%. It also obtained two more precious purple skills, making it extremely difficult to kill.
It was precisely because of this that the Earth Dragon King had simply become the overlord of the Giant Rock Cave. Its slight movement could cause a huge change.
Lin Xuan had also encountered the restless Earth Dragon King several times. However, he was very vigilant and would always run back to the safety station ahead of time.
At this moment, noisy footsteps sounded from the entrance of the safety station. A large number of martial artists surged in.
“Damn, we were about to kill that bull. Why did we suddenly encounter the Earth Dragon King? How unlucky!”
“You guys should be happy. Last time, more than 30 wasteland reclaimers did not manage to escape to the safety station in time and were drowned in the violent beast tide. It’s not bad for us to come back early this time!”
The wasteland reclaimers had helpless and relieved expressions. They could only gather in small groups and chat.
Lin Xuan looked at these people and suddenly thought of something.
The Earth Dragon King’s body was huge, and every time it stirred, the rocks would collapse. Naturally, it would bring out many new ores, and the chances of those high grade ores appearing would also increase.
At this moment, he heard a notification.
[Information about the Giant Rock Cave: Under the influence of the Earth Dragon King’s restlessness, a deep mineral might has appeared and will remain in the first few floors for 28 hours.]
Lin Xuan was overjoyed. Indeed!
Now, most of the wasteland reclaimers had returned to the safety station because of the warning. Almost no one would be able to see those high grade ores. In the end, they would all be harvested by the Gold Swallowing Lizard!
Lin Xuan switched to the side view of the Gold Swallowing Lizard and saw that the latter was indeed eating heartily.
It ate various rare ores happily.
In the first floor of the Giant Rock Cave, most places only had level one Zero Realm minerals, and few people could find level two Zero Realm minerals.
However, the restlessness of the Earth Dragon King had also caused many level two Zero Realm minerals in the second floor of the Giant Rock Cave to be flipped to this first floor. In this short period of time, the Gold Swallowing Lizard had already dug up a lot of level two Zero Realm minerals.
The experience provided by a level two Zero Realm mineral was even greater. After eating a few pieces, the Gold Swallowing Lizard’s level had already increased from level one to level two of Zero Realm.
“Perfect, I can already go to the second floor to train. This Earth Dragon King’s restlessness is actually a good opportunity for me. I should strive to increase the Gold Swallowing Lizard to level three Zero Realm.”
Lin Xuan was very happy. He simply ordered a lamb stew and watched the golden lizard eat.
Battling, mining, eating ores, battling again, excreting, mining, mating, eating ores…
Eh? Why did it feel like something was wrong?
Four hours later, Lin Xuan immediately looked at his gains.
[Current Area: Giant Rock Cave’s second floor (2 general coins / minute, 10 experience points / minute)]
[The Gold Swallowing Lizard has been training for 4 hours and has already reached the upper limit of its training time. Obtained 480 general coins, 2400 experience points, 2 Level 0 skill books, 1 Black Scaled Snake Gall, 1 Rock Belly Fruit, 2 Barbaric Bull Horn, 1 Soul Nurturing Flower, 66 iron ores, 25 bronze ore, 8 cloud iron, and 3 mountain copper. Do you wish to collect?]
He was overjoyed. The Black Scaled Snake Gall, Rock Belly Fruit, Barbaric Bull Horn, and Soul Nurturing Flower were called “attribute items.” As the name implied, they could permanently increase one’s attributes. They could respectively increase 1 point of Agility, Constitution, Strength, and Spirit.
However, he could only eat 10 of these things at most. It would be useless for him to eat any more.
Moreover, if a Fourth Realm martial artist had not eaten ten before, it would be useless for him to eat any in the future. Therefore, martial artists would try their best to gather these rare items before becoming a Fourth Realm martial artist.
As for the cloud iron and mountain copper, they were Zero Realm minerals.
He muttered the word “collect”.
Hualala, another batch of items appeared in the consciousness space.
The two Level 0 Skill Books were both [Weaken].
…
Name: Weaken
Level: level one Zero Realm
Grade: Ordinary White
Learning Requirement: Spirit 7
Effect: Consumes 15% of one’s magic power, temporarily reduces cultivation by one level and five attribute points, reduces one’s presence, and lasts for 5 minutes.
…
Lin Xuan slapped his thigh happily. “This is the skill I want!”
He now had a lot of experience and something like the Black Scale Snake Gall that permanently increased his attributes. However, he could not level up too quickly, let alone increase his attributes.
This was because the Overseer could clearly see his level and attributes through the wasteland reclaimer’s collar!
Weaken was relatively useless to other martial artists. It could only be used in times of despair. When facing those demonic demon beasts that were far superior, one would use Weaken to make a Hail Mary effort to make the other party treat them as trash.
However, to Lin Xuan, this was the best skill he could have!
“I’ll leave the ore for the Gold Swallowing Lizard to eat. Once it gets stronger, it can go to even deeper places to train.”
“As for the Black Scale Snake Gall, I’ll eat it all.”
Three days passed in a flash.
[Current Area: Giant Rock Cave Third Floor (3 general coin / minute, 15 experience points / minute)]
[The Gold Swallowing Lizard has been training for 5 hours and has already reached the upper limit of its training time. Obtained 900 general coins, 4500 experience points, 8 Zero Realm skill books, 11 Zero Realm equipment, 16 Black Scale Snake Gall, 20 Barbaric Bull Horns… 189 iron ores, 78 bronze ore, 28 cloud iron ore, 13 bronze ore… Do you wish to collect?]
Lin Xuan muttered the word “collect”. Seeing the space in his consciousness filled with items, and then looking at his more than 10,000 general coins, he felt endless satisfaction.
No wonder everyone liked to cheat. This feeling of harvest was too comfortable.
In the past three days, he had obtained a large number of the same skill books, such as the [Endless Life] that accelerated the recovery of one’s life force, the passive skill [Steel Body] that increased one’s physical defense, the passive skill [Thorn Body] that increased one’s reflective damage, the [Observer] that identified the attributes of demon beasts and warriors, the [Concealment] Skill that concealed one’s attributes to prevent them from being peeked at…
Five similar white skill books could be combined into one green skill book, five identical green ones could be combined into one blue, five identical blue ones into one purple, and so on.
Therefore, Lin Xuan’s Weaken, Oily Feet, Iron Wall, Sneak Attack, Endless Life, and Thorn Body had all been upgraded to rare blue grades.
In particular, Lin Xuan had invested a large number of experience points into Weaken, allowing it to reach level nine Zero Realm.
…
Name: Weaken
Level: Level nine Zero Realm
Grade: Rare Blue
Learning Requirement: Spirit 7
Effect: Consumes 5% magic power, temporarily reduces one’s cultivation by six levels and 20 attribute points, reduces one’s sense of existence, can be casually interrupted and recovers one’s cultivation to its original state.
…
With this skill, Lin Xuan could level up without fear, eat rare items like the Black Scaled Snake Gall, and learn various skills without having to worry about being discovered by the Germinal Organization and being captured for research.
Seeing his experience bar increase rapidly, Lin Xuan felt incomparably comfortable.
A moment later, his attributes were as follows.
…
Name: Lin Xuan
Level: Level nine Zero Realm
Experience: 2388 / 9000
Attributes: 35 Constitution, 17 Strength, 18 Spirit, 13 Agility
Skill: Weaken, Iron Wall, Sneak Attack, Oily Feet, Endless Life, Thorn Body…
Equipment: Wasteland Reclaimer Collar, Iron Dagger, Barbaric Bull Breastplate, Protection Ring
…
After leveling up from level one of the Zero Realm to the level nine, he obtained a total of 18 attribute points. Lin Xuan did not hesitate to invest all of this into his Constitution.
“To advance from level nine Zero Realm to level one First Realm, you need the materials for advancement. You have to go to the ninth floor of the Giant Rock Cave to challenge the mystic realm king.”
Lin Xuan was smug. “Next, I’ll increase my consciousness space.”
After consuming 1,000 general coins, the initial level 1 consciousness space instantly became a level 2 consciousness space, expanding from 10 cubic meters to 20 cubic meters.
The smelting table that was originally in a gray state opened by itself and immediately appeared in front of Lin Xuan.
[The smelting table can smelt equipment, minerals, runes, and so on. Please set the items on the smelting table.]
Lin Xuan had adjusted the item setting to “minerals” and had set a filter condition that only allowed the smelting of iron ores.
“Then what if I want to smelt other things?” Lin Xuanxin thought for a moment and saw another notification.
[Using 5,000 general coins to unlock the second smelting table. Using 10,000 general coins to unlock the third smelting table…]
Lin Xuan smacked his lips. Damn, you’re a money-grubber.
“Then I’ll unlock the second smelting table to smelt the equipment.”
Clang!
Another smelting table appeared out of thin air.
Lin Xuanwei’s smelting table had been set to smelting equipment.
He had already obtained nearly a hundred pieces of equipment in the past three days. However, most of them were of ordinary white grade.
He only had the Protection Ring that he had obtained at the beginning.
There was too much white equipment and low value ores, which occupied a lot of space, so they had to be used.
The smelting table was the best way.
The two smelting tables immediately began to work and quickly produced items.
Smelted iron ores from the first smelting table could be directly used to forge iron ingots.
The second smelting table smelted white equipment, which produced white grade equipment essence and could be used to increase the level of the equipment.
“This is too convenient. If other martial artists want to obtain iron ingots, they can only buy them or learn the smelting skills to make them themselves.”
“In order to obtain the equipment essence, you still have to learn the smelting technique and the basics of smelting. That’s not something that can be done in a day or two.”
Lin Xuan had inherited these memories from his previous self.
Unlike combat skills, life skills could be gained by killing demon beasts. It had to be learned by oneself and cost ten times more experience than combat skills.
Some life skills also required a lot of materials to be learned, such as pharmaceutical skills and cooking skills.
This led to very few people being interested in life skills.
At this moment, Lin Xuan saw a new set of equipment in a gray state.
This equipment was a combination of a bellows, anvil, and a pool. It looked like a forging place.
[First forging table can be unlocked for free after upgrading the consciousness space to level 3.]
[Consuming 10,000 general coins can increase a level 2 consciousness space to a level 3 consciousness space.]
Lin Xuan was overjoyed.
This hack was too omnipotent. He could even forge his own weapons.
However, now that he had used up a lot of general coins, he did not plan to upgrade his consciousness space to level 3 for the time being.
“The three days are over. It’s time to return.” Lin Xuan was satisfied. He returned to the ground of the Giant Rock Cave and walked towards the door of light.
