Chapter 61: Secondary Occupation Experience Bonus Scroll
"Well, this is the reward you deserve, take it."
Blacksmith Wu finally remembered that he had not done anything yet. He waved at Xu Youming, and two balls of light appeared in front of Xu Youming.
"Ding, congratulations on completing the task entrusted by Wu the Blacksmith: Find level 3 ore; please choose from the following rewards."
Reward 1: Mining Experience Book (Elementary)*5
Reward 2: Secondary Occupation Experience Bonus Scroll (Primary) *5
Mining Skills Experience Book (Basic)
After use, immediately gain 1000 mining proficiency points.
Secondary Career Experience Bonus Scroll
After use, the speed of gaining secondary occupation proficiency will be increased by 100% and last for 2 hours.
These two options made Xu Youming conflicted again.
One is a scroll that can directly gain 5,000 points of mining proficiency, and the other is a scroll that can improve the proficiency of any desired secondary occupation.
From the perspective of cost-effectiveness, secondary occupation experience bonus scrolls are definitely better, but it takes time to improve yourself.
5 scrolls are equivalent to 10 hours of 100% additional bonus, and both skills can gain about 2500 skill proficiency.
However, if you choose a skill scroll, you will be able to quickly reach advanced mining skills, and you will definitely get a considerable reward.
After thinking it over again and again, Xu Youming chose the latter. A ball of light flew into Xu Youming's hands and turned into 5 skill scrolls.
From a long-term development perspective, the role of the Yin-Yang Mirror is definitely higher than that of mining.
However, in order to maximize the effect of these scrolls, Xu Youming had no choice but to continue staying in the Novice Village and use the bonus of [Clarity] to gain more proficiency.
It seems that God doesn't want me to leave the Novice Village.
"Uncle, do you have a place to store ore? I want to store some things with you."
"Go to the grocery store to store your stuff. They have a warehouse in their store."
Blacksmith Wu sent Xu Youming away without even raising his head, and was only concerned with admiring the level 3 refined iron ore in his hand.
Hearing this, Xu Youming ran to the grocery store, bought back his jacaranda supplies, and at the same time inquired about the warehouse.
As expected, the grocery store here has a storage function, and one grid costs 1 copper coin per day, which is an acceptable price.
Afterwards, Xu Youming returned to the mine and started mining directly at the deepest point.
After digging out some ore, he used a secondary occupation skill scroll. This thing is only valuable in the early stage. In the later stage, it requires a huge amount of proficiency to improve the skill level. This double time is not enough.
Therefore, the earlier you use it, the higher the cost-effectiveness.
As he swung the golden pickaxe, Xu Youming's mining proficiency increased visibly, and of course, the Yin-Yang Mirror was also constantly being released.
[Ding, identification successful, obtained level 2 iron stone]
Proficiency +4.8
Every time a piece of level 2 iron ore is identified, the skill proficiency increases by 4.8, almost reaching the level of level 3 ore.
Perhaps because there are a lot of ores in it, Xu Youming's identification speed is basically the same as the excavation speed, but the mana is decreasing rapidly.
At this moment, he began to miss Qian Shijinsheng. If he was still in the Novice Village, he could buy some mana-enhancing equipment from him, which would at least give him more opportunities to make appraisals.
Finally, he had obtained more than 50 pieces of level 2 iron ores, and his package was only this big.
However, once the scroll is used, there is no way to pause it, and Xu Youming does not want to waste this precious double time.
He kept waving the pickaxe in his hand without any intention of stopping. He simply threw the identified ore aside. It would not disappear in a short time anyway. After the double time was over, he would deliver the ore to the village.
With the current efficiency, Xu Youming is no longer worried about the mana problem. One jacaranda flower can restore 600 mana points for him, and to identify a level 2 ore, he needs to release the Yin-Yang Mirror about 5 or 6 times.
600 mana points are enough for Xu Youming to identify 10 level 2 iron ores, and the profits brought by them have long exceeded the expenses.
This all relies on the extremely high success rate of Yin Yang Mirror. Otherwise, not to mention the problem of mana consumption, a lot of time will be wasted.
Finally, two hours later, Xu Youming identified a total of 600 ores, 150 of which were level 2 and the rest were level 1 iron ores.
Sure enough, after the mining skill was upgraded to level 2, the efficiency of mining level 2 ore was greatly improved.
In two hours, the proficiency of Yin Yang Mirror increased by 1,800 points, and the mining skill increased by about the same amount.
This efficiency really made Xu Youming happy. It was nearly twice as high as he had expected.
In addition to these ores, Xu Youming also dug out two pieces of level 3 ores, but due to efficiency issues, he did not choose to identify them, but threw them into the package.
Next, Xu Youming started to return to the village carrying the packaged ore. He first went to the grocery store to store the level 3 ore, and then replenished some jacaranda flowers.
After that, go straight to the blacksmith shop and sell all the level 2 iron ore in the package .
I got more than 40 silver coins in total. As expected, the characteristics of the secondary occupation gradually emerged, and now I started to make money.
The money spent in the previous few days can be earned back in one day.
After running several times, Xu Youming sold all the ores and earned a total of 3 gold coins.
This made Xu Youming very happy, even though running back and forth wasted nearly two hours.
3 gold coins, that's 30,000 Chinese yuan. This makes Xu Youming feel that there is nothing wrong with staying in the Novice Village.
After finishing all this, it was already afternoon. I quickly logged off, had lunch, and then entered the game again.
Following the previous routine, Xu Youming continued to mine at the deepest part of the mine.
One thing that made Xu Youming curious was that the ore inside had never been dug out.
He had encountered this situation many times outside, where he ran out of ore while digging.
Perhaps there are more ores here.
Xu Youming didn't think much about it and continued to work hard.
In the evening, Xu Youming completed another round of transactions, and his proficiency in Yin Yang Mirror and mining techniques reached about 4,000 points.
At this rate, once the five sub-occupation skill scrolls are used up, it will be entirely possible for me to upgrade both sub-occupations to advanced levels.
With the huge sum of 6 gold coins in his pocket, Xu Youming quit the game.
He decided to exchange the gold coins for Chinese currency when he arrived in the city, and then transfer it to the dean.
Seeing Xu Youming rarely smile, Rui Qixue and the others thought that Xu Youming had entered the city. After getting a negative answer, they thought that this guy must be crazy.
Xu Youming slept soundly that night. With the two skills of mining and identification, he felt that the orphanage's economic crisis should be resolved soon.
