Translator: 549690339

After spending more than half an hour, Ratman Ektor gave a detailed explanation of the characteristics of the Armed Miner profession and also taught Song Jian some mining tips, which transformed his Mining Skill and even upgraded it by one level;

“Thank you, Ektor, your explanation has been very helpful to me!” Song Jian said gratefully;

“It’s nothing. It’s clear that you’ve already mastered the core skill of Armed Miners, the Mining Skill, which will be of great help to you in the future; at the very least, you won’t have to worry about Doomsday Coins. You should know that all Armed Miners are very rich, hahaha!” Ektor laughed heartily, seemingly proud of the Armed Miner profession;

System: You listened to the Combat Profession Instructor Ektor’s explanation of the “Armed Miner” profession, and your main mission is 4/10 completed;

Song Jian was surprised that the main mission was already completed, so did he still need to complete Aberdeen’s test mission?

After thinking about it, Song Jian did not delete Aberdeen’s test mission and kept it;

In the following time, the two continued mining, and tacitly split up, with one person on each side. Although Song Jian’s mining efficiency was not as high as Ektor’s, he could barely keep up with Ektor’s pace. It was clear that Ektor deliberately slowed down to accommodate Song Jian. After all, mining alone was quite boring, but with two people chatting and laughing, it was no longer dull;

“Ektor, is the pickaxe in your hand golden-quality equipment?” Song Jian couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity;

“Haha, I thought you didn’t notice my baby. As far as 1 know, the God-favored ones are very sensitive to equipment and pursue it eagerly!” Ektor laughed heartily and showed Song Jian the attributes of the pickaxe in his hand;

“Ektor’s Cross Pickaxe (Light Gold), Main-hand weapon, Attack 110-120, Strength +10, Agility +8, Attack (Mining) speed increased by 35%, Mining Skill level +1, Special Effect 1: There’s a chance to upgrade the quality of mined ores by one level; Special Effect 2: Doubles the amount of ore collected; Special Effect 3: Significantly reduces the influence on surroundings when mining, making it harder for monsters to find you; Usage Requirements: Exclusive to Ektor Blade”;

“Hiss, is this… exclusive equipment?” Song Jian stared in awe. This kind of equipment is soul-bound to the owner, can only be used by the owner, and will disappear if the owner dies;

“That’s right, this is my exclusive equipment, which I created at a great cost!” Ektor said proudly.

“That’s amazing. I wonder when I’ll have my own exclusive equipment,” Song Jian said with envy;

“Haha, you’ll have it. God-favored ones are the lucky ones blessed by gods, and you’ll definitely have your own exclusive equipment in the future,” Ektor assured Song Jian;

“I’ll take your word for it. Hehe!” Song Jian scratched his head and laughed;

This was the first golden-quality weapon Song Jian had seen, and for a miner, every attribute and characteristic of this weapon would make one drool;

While talking and mining, most of the time Ektor spoke and Song Jian listened. Occasionally, Song Jian would also express his own views. The two seemed like old friends, making the boring mining work lively;

Hours later, Song Jian’s bag was filled with various ores. He had collected 100 units of Obsidian for Aberdeen’s test, and 100 units of Bloodstones needed to upgrade the Blood Pool to level 2. He even collected all the materials needed to make “T-11 High-Explosive Hand Grenades” and over 300 units of other various ores;

However, Song Jian had no intention to leave. It’s rare to meet a high-level NPC like Ektor, who made Song Jian feel very relaxed. Their intimacy level slowly increased, and Ektor often shared his past experiences in their conversations. To Song Jian, this information was invaluable and couldn’t be bought with money;

Just then, a rock wall not far away began to shake violently. Cracks appeared on the smooth surface of the rock wall, looking like a spider web.

“Be careful!” Ektor said to Song Jian with a serious face;

Bang!

The cracked rock wall suddenly burst open from inside out, revealing a large hole with a diameter of over one meter. A monster covered in green scales crawled out from the hole. Its two blood-red eyes stared at Song Jian, and its long mouth full of fangs opened and let out a sharp roar.

The monster looked somewhat like a pangolin, but it was much larger than a regular one. It was over two meters long and reached the height of an adult’s thigh. Its body was covered in pale green scales, its limbs were short and thick, and its claws were sharp. The hard rock wall was like tofu in front of it, easily crushed to pieces.

“LV30 Mutated Ore Beast (Elite), Vitality Points: 3200/3200, Traits: Intermediate Defense, Rock Breaker,??, Skills: Sonic Attack, Claw Clash,??”

“A level 30 Elite BOSS?” Song Jian was shocked in his heart and couldn’t help but take two steps back.

There was such a terrifying creature in the mine! If Song Jian encountered it as soon as he entered the subway station, it would have been difficult to leave alive.

The mutated Ore Beast’s eyes were fixed on Song Jian, and its crimson tongue constantly flicked in and out. If it wasn’t for Ekt standing next to Song Jian, the mutated Ore Beast would have already pounced.

“It’s my mining activity that disturbed it!” Song Jian looked at the mutated Ore Beast and suddenly understood. At this moment, he suddenly thought of Ekt’s pickaxe and its third trait and realized just how precious it was.

“Song Jian, let me show you the self-defense capabilities of armed miners and let you experience the power of the Magma Forging Technique!” Ekt slowly walked towards the monster, speaking to Song Jian as he went.

Seeing Ekt approaching, the mutated Ore Beast actually took two steps back and lowered its body, letting out a threatening warning roar towards Ekt.

But Ekt didn’t care at all, taking big strides towards the mutated Ore Beast. The monster became furious, swinging its limbs, and charged at Ekt like a black shadow.

Bang-

Ekt tightly gripped his pickaxe with both hands, swung it upward, and directly smashed the approaching mutated Ore Beast, sending it flying into the air.

Roar-

Ekt let out a skyward roar, and his body slowly swelled. Muscles bulged one by one, and his height rapidly increased. In no time, he had surpassed Song Jian’s height.

Watching the body of the mutated Ore Beast being sent flying into the air, Ekt bent his elbow and stomped on the ground with a ‘bang’. He shot towards the airborne mutated Ore Beast like an arrow.

Lines of creamy white energy appeared on the surface of Ekt’s elbow, striking the mutated Ore Beast in mid-air with great force. The creature let out a painful cry.

With nowhere to exert force in mid-air, the mutated Ore Beast was like a live target. Ekt grabbed its neck and forcefully threw it down to the tracks below.

With a “bang”, the mutated Ore Beast’s body slammed onto the two rusted tracks, breaking them apart. A large pit appeared on the ground with the mutated Ore Beast lying in the center, struggling to get up.

Ekt, suspended in the air, tightly gripped his pickaxe and slammed it down onto the mutated Ore Beast’s head like a mountain.
