Chapter 130: The Cave Under the Mine
After seeing Xu Youming's efficiency in identification, the old man never took his eyes off him.
"Fifth Master, please help me identify it."
"Get in line!"
A small bandit behind him wanted to ask the old man for identification, but he was pushed aside by him .
The look in his eyes when he looked at Xu Youming was gleaming with brilliance, as if he had discovered a treasure.
"Go, call that boy over."
He picked up a bandit and asked him to call Xu Youming.
The little bandit did not dare to disobey and hurriedly ran towards Xu Youming.
"Boy, Master Wu is calling you."
Xu Youming was mining against the clock, wondering if he could successfully enter level 3 this morning, when he was suddenly slapped in the face by a bandit behind him.
"Master Wu? Who is Master Wu?"
Xu Youming was a little curious and stopped what he was doing.
These bandits would not contact me on their own initiative, so some mission must have been triggered.
"Fifth Master, you don't know? You're the manager of this mine."
As he spoke, the little bandit pointed in the direction of the old man.
Only then did Xu Youming realize that the Fifth Master he was referring to was actually the old man who knew the art of identification.
Although he felt a little sad about the wasted time, Xu Youming still followed the little bandit towards Wu Ye.
"Boy, your identification skills are advanced?"
When he came in front of the Fifth Master, the old man looked at Xu Youming seriously, as if he wanted to see through something.
"Yes."
Xu Youming replied calmly, and at the same time, the identity of the old man in front of him appeared in front of him.
Wu Gengdao
Dishazhai Mine Manager
…
Without professional insight, you cannot see detailed information about monsters in the same camp or high-level monsters.
“Okay, okay!”
A barely perceptible sly smile flashed across Wu Gengdao's face, then he instantly retracted it.
"You don't have to mine here anymore. With my recommendation, you can directly become a Level 5 bandit, have the qualifications to enter the mountain stronghold, and directly learn some skills of the mountain stronghold."
Xu Youming looked at Wu Geng in front of him with a little surprise, "Is it so casual? Just because I have advanced identification skills, I can directly become a level 5 bandit."
No need to do tasks?
Although I don't know what level a level 5 bandit is, but based on the amount of money, it should take at least hundreds of thousands of Chinese yuan to brush it out.
"Of course, you have to do me a favor."
Wu Gengdao glanced at the bandits around him and signaled them to go out first.
It was obvious that these people were very afraid of Wu Gengdao. Just one look from him scared them so much that they quickly retreated from the small shed.
Seeing that there was no one around, Wu Gengdao looked outside cautiously, and after confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he spoke seriously to Xu Youming.
"Boy, I need your identification skills to help me identify some things. If you succeed, I will upgrade your bandit level to level 5. How about that?"
Looking at the old man with a goatee in front of him, Xu Youming always felt that he had evil intentions.
However, I had no reason to refuse the conditions he proposed.
"What do you need to identify?"
Although Xu Youming didn't know Wu Gengdao's appraisal level, based on his previous appraisal efficiency, it shouldn't be too low.
If that’s the case, why did he ask me to identify it?
"Come with me."
Having said that, Wu Gengdao turned around and walked behind him.
Then, Xu Youming heard a system prompt in his ears.
[Ding, do you accept Wu Gengdao's commission? ]
If Xu Youming went with him, he would be deemed to have accepted the mission.
Do I have any other choice? Xu Youming immediately clicked to accept and followed Wu Gengdao inside.
Xu Youming didn't expect that there was another world inside the shed. As Wu Gengdao pushed hard, a stone door appeared on the hard stone wall.
Behind the door is a long and narrow passage.
Seeing Wu Gengdao's mysterious look, Xu Youming also began to wonder what he wanted him to identify.
This passage does not look like it was dug by humans, but rather it seems to have been caused by mountain movement.
The passage continued to extend downwards, and it was pitch black. Only the yellow gem in Wu Gengdao's hand emitted a faint fluorescence.
Looking forward, it is more like walking into the mouth of a giant beast in the abyss.
After walking for about 5 minutes, the road ahead became wider and light began to appear.
Xu Youming made a rough estimate and concluded that this should be right below the mine.
Suddenly, Wu Gengdao stopped and a large open space appeared in front of him. Countless high-level ores were piled on the open space, and the luster was emitted by these ores.
"You just need to identify these 108 ores for me, and I will recommend you to become a Level 5 Bandit."
Wu Gengdao smiled and motioned Xu Youming to step forward.
He directly reported the quantity of these ores, which was to tell Xu Youming that he knew the quantity of these things and asked him not to play tricks.
"Okay, after you've finished the appraisal, just come out and find me."
Having said that, Wu Gengdao returned the same way he came, leaving Xu Youming alone here.
Xu Youming looked at the ground full of high-grade ores and had already had evil thoughts in his mind.
What would happen if I loaded all these ores and teleported them back to the city?
Jail? Or be hunted endlessly?
After all, he is now a bandit.
When he took out the order to return to the city, he realized that he had overthought.
After choosing the bandit camp, he could no longer use the return to city order.
It seems that I can only help Wu Gengdao to identify these things honestly.
Walking to the ore, Xu Youming picked up one at random, and felt a warm and jade-like touch. Obviously, the level of this ore was above level 3.
[Ding, identification failed]
[Ding, identification failed]
…
I tried more than ten times, but all ended in failure.
Advanced identification skills already have the ability to identify level 4 items, which correspond to gold quality, but the probability is lower.
Xu Youming's Yin Yang Mirror has upgraded its appraisal grade by one level, so why is it still failing?
Could it be that the level of these ores has reached level 4 or above?
Xu Youming didn't believe it, so he simply sat cross-legged on the ground and continued to perform identification techniques.
[Ding, identification successful, obtained black gold ore*1, proficiency +10]
Black Gold Mine
Level 5 Ore
Sure enough, these were actually level 5 black gold ores. No wonder Xu Youming's Yin-Yang Mirror took nearly 20 tries to succeed.
The success rate of a senior appraiser in identifying level 5 ore is about 1%. Xu Youming's Yin-Yang Appraisal increases this probability to 5%.
Moreover, to identify level 5 ore, instead of just throwing a skill over as before, one needs to maintain a certain identification action.
When the progress reaches 100%, success or failure will be indicated.
It took Xu Youming two minutes to process one piece of ore. Wouldn't it take several hours to process more than 100 pieces?
Sure enough, this task was not that simple.
