Chapter 55 Level 1 Iron Ore
Xu Youming turned around and saw Wu the blacksmith pointing at a pile of stones in the corner.
"I don't know what properties these stones have, I picked them out when I was smelting them. You can try and see if they work."
Xu Youming's eyes lit up. Yes, Beggar Zhang had said that he needed to identify 1,000 items himself, but he didn't say they had to be equipment.
If it were 1,000 stones, it would be much more difficult.
Thinking of this, Xu Youming walked towards the pile of stones in the corner.
Coming to the stone pestle, Xu Youming squatted down, picked up a black stone and released the Yin-Yang Mirror.
A green light flashed across and merged into the stone.
[Ding, identification failed]
Xu Youming didn't believe it, so he waited for 10 seconds and then used the identification technique on the stone again.
[Ding, identification failed]
[Ding, identification failed]
…
I tried five times in a row, all of which ended in failure. Finally, on the sixth try, the identification was successful.
[Ding, identification successful, obtained an ordinary stone]
Changes also occurred on the panel of the Yin-Yang Mirror.
Yin Yang Mirror
Unlock progress: 0/1000
Identifying an ordinary item did not increase the progress, which made Xu Youming speechless. He spent 30 mana points and got this?
There was no way, since this was the system's rule, he calmed down, picked up another stone and continued to identify it.
This time, Xu Youming had to identify it 10 times before he succeeded.
[Ding, identification successful, first-level iron ore obtained]
At the same time, his unlocking progress finally increased by 1 point, which made him feel that the 50 points of mana consumption were worth it.
Next, Xu Youming stayed in the blacksmith shop, constantly identifying these stones.
"Look at that guy, why is he picking up trash in the blacksmith shop?"
To outsiders, Xu Youming picked up a black stone from time to time, played with it for a long time and then threw it away, which was simply like picking up garbage.
"This guy doesn't really think he can find a treasure here, right? Besides, even if he finds a treasure, will Wu the blacksmith let him take it away?"
Xu Youming hid his title and was wearing a helmet. If you were not familiar with him, you would not be able to recognize him.
Ignoring the pointing and criticizing of these people, Xu Youming focused on identifying the stones here.

Finally, when Xu Youming's unlocking progress reached 10, Jinjia Xiaobao and Qianxiao came to the blacksmith shop.
"Brother Youming, what are you doing?"
Seeing Youming's look, Qianxiao instantly became happy. The stones that were originally piled together had been divided into two piles by him.
After appraising nearly half of the stones, only 10 were usable.
This is no wonder, as most of the stones selected by the blacksmith are ordinary stones.
"Let me see if there's any treasure in here."
Xu Youming stood up and gave the two of them a bitter smile. It would take him forever to get the appraisal.
After the two's equipment was repaired, Xu Youming put down the stone in his hand, followed them out of the blacksmith shop, and distributed the gold coins to them.
After some speculation, the two men thought that these rewards belonged to Xu Youming and they could not accept them.
However, under Xu Youming's strong request, the two had no choice but to accept it.
"Brother Youming, you don't have to take us with you. Xiaobao and I are both level 9. We should be able to reach level 10 after a day of farming on the grassland. You should go to the city and see what tasks are available. Maintaining your level is the most important thing."
Seeing that Xu Youming wanted to take them both to upgrade, Qianxiao immediately refused.
She and Jinjia Xiao Xiaobao have missed the level ranking, so it doesn't matter if they stay in the Novice Village for one more day. But Xu Youming is different. If he enters the city now, he might be able to gain many opportunities.
Xu Youming shook his head and insisted on taking them to upgrade their level.
The two of them had paid so much for his upgrade, he couldn't just walk away. Besides, he had no plans to go to the city at this time.
He was unwilling to not unlock the skill of Yin Yang Mirror.
Although these two people are very powerful in some aspects, if they are asked to team up to level up, they will not be able to reach level 10 even in two days.
Currently, the average player is only level 7-8, and only some organized or fixed teams have reached level 9.
It would be very difficult for them to find other people to form a team, unless they went to an organization like Kenshin that knew their strength. In that case, they would be owing a favor, which they probably couldn't do.
Carrying supplies, the three of them came to the river beach, where there were still few players killing crocodiles.
After that, today's leveling task began.
Whoosh——
The reverse-feathered arrow drew a perfect arc and shot towards a crocodile lying in the water.
-315
With one arrow, a high damage line appeared on the crocodile's head. According to this efficiency, Xu Youming could kill a crocodile with more than 20 arrows.
When the crocodile crawled towards the shore, Xu Youming's arrow flew again, with its defense weakened by 5%, causing greater damage.
When the crocodile crawled in front of the three people, its health was less than 3000. At this moment, the [Concentration] skill was triggered, and a pale yellow light emerged. Xu Youming felt a powerful force filling his arms, and the action of drawing the bow became light.
Whoosh——
-402
The damage of this arrow exceeded 400 points, which made Jinjia Xiaobao and Qianxiao frightened.
"Brother Youming, your archer is too violent."
While his concentration lasted, Xu Youming shot three arrows. As his agility increased, his shooting speed also increased a little.
The crocodile only attacked the golden-armored Xiaobao twice before falling under Xu Youming's arrow.
In less than 30 seconds, they killed a level 10 wild monster. This efficiency is no worse than that of a full-strength team. The key is that only Jinjia Xiaobao and Qianxiao were there to share experience.
After reaching level 10, Xu Youming will no longer gain experience for killing monsters here. Level 10 is the ceiling of the Novice Village.
Since last night , more and more players have reached level 10, and the appearance of higher-level cities has also been posted online by players.
At this point, the players realized that cities were distributed according to their regions. Each region had three secondary main cities. As for which one to enter, it was purely a matter of luck.
With Xu Youming's guidance, Jinjia Xiaobao and Qianxiao reached level 10 respectively in less than two hours.
Afterwards, the three of them returned to the Novice Village together.
"Youming, then the two of us will leave first. I hope we can be assigned to the same city."
The buzzing sound of Jinjia Xiaobao came, and after spending these days together, he felt a little reluctant to leave.
"I heard that the three cities will have teleportation capabilities by then, and we can fight side by side then."
Qianxiao is relatively well-informed, after all, she is always paying attention to the content of the forum.
"Okay, then we'll meet in the main city!"
Afterwards, Xu Youming watched his two companions leave the Novice Village.
