Farming Games are All About Grinding-Chapter 162 - 155: The Treasure of the 50th Level!

"Charge to destroy all obstacles? Then we can’t use Paralyzing Thorns to block it." Han Qiwu didn’t dare to gamble.

If he lost the bet, he’d lose such good equipment.

Switching to the Mysterious Crossbow Arrow, Han Qiwu focused intently and aimed at it.

In fights like these, he started to miss Xiao Lai.

"If it were here, it would put some green on this Frost Hermit Crab’s head, and it would immediately calm down."

When Han Qiwu went back to get supplies, he found Xiao Lai napping, and couldn’t bear to disturb it, so he just gave it a break.

After all, Xiao Lai was still just a child.

Let it sleep more.

Use it more when it grows up.

After aiming properly, Han Qiwu released the trigger and shot the Mysterious Crossbow Arrow.

"Whoosh"

The Mysterious Crossbow Arrow hit one of the Frost Hermit Crab’s large pincers, causing only just over two hundred points of damage.

"This is a bit tough." Han Qiwu turned and ran, planning to lure the Frost Hermit Crab out to fight.

It was too cramped to fight here, as he worried about waking the other Frost Hermit Crabs.

"Clack clack clack"

After taking a hit from the crossbow arrow, the blue on the Frost Hermit Crab’s body suddenly faded a bit, and its speed increased sharply as it sidestepped toward Han Qiwu.

"Using skills already, can’t play like this?" Han Qiwu glanced back and continued running outside.

After watching for a while, Han Qiwu realized that the Frost Hermit Crab’s charging speed wasn’t fast, as long as he didn’t confront it head-on, this creature basically couldn’t catch up to him.

So, there’s no longer any worry.

"Thunk thunk thunk"

Being accustomed to crosswise bullying, the Frost Hermit Crab didn’t stop at all upon encountering a mining point in its path and simply charged right through.

After scattering the rocks, the Frost Hermit Crab’s speed slowed slightly as it continued to charge toward Han Qiwu.

After seeing this, Han Qiwu’s eyes brightened.

It seemed that he just saw the mining points shattered by the Frost Hermit Crab also dropped ores!

And these ores with a faint halo didn’t disappear.

Time to go back and check!

After leading the Frost Hermit Crab out of the tunnel, Han Qiwu turned and ran to the spots where the mining points shattered.

[Stone] ×1

[Iron Ore] ×1

.....

After picking up the items, Han Qiwu now found the Frost Hermit Crab particularly pleasing to the eye.

This thing wasn’t crosswise bullying; it was a way to make money!

This one charge alone brought Han Qiwu four pieces of stone and one piece of iron ore income.

If it could charge dozens of times, there would be a fish pond.

Moreover, Han Qiwu had already thought of how to use it.

While the Frost Hermit Crab outside hadn’t returned, Han Qiwu grabbed the Mother Copper Pickaxe and woke up the remaining five Frost Hermit Crabs.

"Don’t sleep, don’t sleep, time to get up and work."

Obviously, these Frost Hermit Crabs all had grumpy wake-up habits, and after getting up, they showed no gratitude to Han Qiwu, who kindly woke them, and instead rushed at him with hostility.

"Oh, I really didn’t expect you guys to be such Frost Hermit Crabs, never been educated?" Han Qiwu put away all the items and turned to run.

To make sure these six Frost Hermit Crabs could catch up, Han Qiwu even deliberately slowed his speed.

After leading them to an intersection, Han Qiwu circled around and carefully adjusted their charging direction to face the large stones in the first tunnel.

The highest state of dealing with enemies is using enemies to solve problems!

Apparently, Han Qiwu temporarily achieved that state.

Do you guys like to collide?

Soon, I’ll let you collide to your heart’s content!

"Six Frost Hermit Crabs, no idea how long it will take for them to be done colliding."

"Charge!"

Han Qiwu casually grabbed a handful of stones and threw them at the Frost Hermit Crabs.

"Swish swish swish"

All six Frost Hermit Crabs charged aggressively in Han Qiwu’s direction.

Of course, that direction was also the direction of the large stones.

The plan was executed smoothly.

All six Frost Hermit Crabs banged into the large stone through a gap next to the mid-sized stones.

Just that one combined hit caused a thin crack to appear on the large stone.

"That effective, huh? Keep going! Charge charge charge!" Han Qiwu’s eyes lit up, and he adjusted the direction of the Frost Hermit Crabs again.

Fifteen minutes later.

The six clearly exhausted Frost Hermit Crabs trudged toward the large stone.

Beside them, Supervisor Han was still dissatisfied, looking disappointed and saying, "Charge! Attack with the determination to kill me! Take a few more steps, surpass the thousand crabs! After this special training, I guarantee you priority in mate selection!"

The surface of the large stone was now covered with long cracks, looking unable to hold out much longer.

"Clang"

Upon hearing the sound, Han Qiwu’s eyes brightened, and he turned and ran outside, ducking his head.

"Boom boom boom"

A huge noise rang out from the tunnel as shattered stones flew past Han Qiwu’s ears, out of the tunnel.

He waited a full three minutes before cautiously going back inside.

On the ground, the six exhausted Frost Hermit Crabs were weak, with two even shedding the ores off their backs.

They were tired.

It seemed that even if they earned priority mate selection, they wouldn’t use it.

"Well then, let’s see this through to the end. After all, I’m a warm-hearted guy." Han Qiwu pulled out the Soft Blade, quickly finishing off the six Frost Hermit Crabs after a quick smackdown.

"May your companions find a kind-hearted person like me."

After sending off the Frost Hermit Crabs, Han Qiwu sighed and reluctantly gathered up their remains.

It was hard not to laugh out loud.

[Frost Crab Shell (Silver Star Quality☆)] ×6

[Use: Feed/Material]

[Sale Price: 0 Gold]

[Remark: It is an excellent spiritual material]

[Icicle (Silver Star Quality☆)] ×6

[Use: Material/Decoration]

[Remark: Long icicles can form a natural refrigeration area]

[Lapis Lazuli (Silver Star Quality☆)] ×6

[Use: Material]

[Sale Price: 560 Gold]

[Remark: Only obtained by exhausting a Frost Hermit Crab]

He’s struck it rich!

Eighteen silver star quality items.

Indeed, you need a brain to play games.

Using the enemy’s spear against the enemy’s shield.

Time to admire the loot!

The Frost Crab Shells looked much larger than ordinary crab shells with a thin layer of blue ice on top, feeling cool to the touch.

Worried that the ice layer might melt and affect the quality, Han Qiwu quickly stored them into his inventory slot after a glance.

Spiritual material, who knows when it will be useful.

The Icicles looked quite peculiar; perhaps due to special reasons from producing in the mines, these icicles were blue and somewhat resembled Christmas trees, with small icy branches growing every few centimeters, looking very beautiful.

"Looking at the note, this thing should work as a fridge. Just in time for summer to chill some drinks." Han Qiwu happily stored the Icicles away.

Even if not used as a fridge, they should be interesting to use as forging materials.

As for the final loot: Lapis Lazuli

Han Qiwu felt this should be the biggest gain from killing the Frost Hermit Crabs.

Not only does it sell for a whopping 560 gold, but the note makes it clear.

To get it, you must first exhaust the Frost Hermit Crab.

Simply put, you’d have to kite it for an hour or two.

Normally, where would Han Qiwu find so much time to kite it? If not to use it to break open the large stone, Han Qiwu might never have gotten it.

"Only six, better study how to use them wisely." Han Qiwu picked up the Lapis Lazuli and examined it. These were all light blue in color, very deep-looking, and seemed to be the special ores on top of the Hermit Crab.

Of course, besides the harvest from the six Frost Hermit Crabs, the ground was also littered with a lot of stones.

Since this time it wasn’t broken with the Mother Copper Pickaxe, the scattered items were all stones.

Time to pick them up.

Picking up stones took Han Qiwu seven minutes.

"This is exhausting, need to train Xiao Lai to pick things up next time." Han Qiwu rubbed his back as he spoke, tired but still quite happy with the haul.

[Stone] ×57.

This large stone was equivalent to the stone harvest from a whole layer.

Thanks to the Frost Hermit Crabs for the ultimate stone package!

After gathering the stones, Han Qiwu held up a torch and eagerly walked to the spot behind the large stone.

Upon entering, Han Qiwu saw the scattered jade on the ground.

"Phew." Han Qiwu exhaled lightly, not in vain after all.

Checking the time, it was already 15:20.

Time to hurry.

Han Qiwu switched to the Mother Copper Pickaxe and began chiseling at the jade node on the ground.

[Jade] ×1

[Jade] ×1

[Jade] ×2

"Such good luck?" Han Qiwu smiled knowingly as he looked at the two pieces of jade in his hand.

Mother Copper Rocks!

This jade node yielded 27 pieces of jade for Han Qiwu.

gold!

Sweet!

Not just jade, Han Qiwu also made a staircase earlier.

Onward!

Two and a half hours later.

The weary Han Qiwu stooped to pick up the snowman drop in front of him.

Another piece of Snow Amber.

After stowing the drop, Han Qiwu stepped into the staircase left behind by the snowman’s disappearance.

[You’ve reached the fiftieth level of the mine]

[The cable car level has been recorded]

[Congratulations on reaching the fiftieth level of the mine. You can now take the cable car back to the surface from any mine level when not in combat, but the recording level rule still applies to every five levels.]

"Finally, a quick return to town, that’s more like it." Han Qiwu nodded in satisfaction, though the recording level rules of the cable car hadn’t changed, the current return rule suited Han Qiwu’s schedule better.

Before the rules changed, he had to set aside large chunks of time to enter the mine, having to reach specific mine levels each time to return, which was inconvenient for gathering materials.

After the change, he could enter the mine during short free periods, dig around, gather some items, and build up strength, leaving whenever he wanted.

Once the time and strength were right, he could rush down five levels at a time to activate the cable car.

So convenient!

Coming back to his senses, Han Qiwu noticed a system-highlighted reward item on the ground and quickly picked it up.

[Ice Snow Sword Embryo]

[Use: Material]

[Special Effect 1: Adds a slow effect to weapons]

[Special Effect 2: Perfectly integrates with ice and snow-type materials]

[Special Effect 3: Destroys itself when merging with another weapon]

[Remark: Only warriors often using longswords can obtain it]

"Just in time!" Han Qiwu was overjoyed, grateful he chose the warrior class this time, otherwise he wouldn’t have gotten this longsword enhancement material.

Among all the weapons, the longsword was still the one he felt most comfortable with. Although the refined longsword’s attack power was somewhat lacking after reaching the fiftieth level, Han Qiwu still used it consistently.

Now he could finally power it up.

So, the question is, what should the upgraded sword be called?
