Clang, clang, clang…Thump…

Inside the cherry iron mine, the sound of the pickaxe hitting the stone wall rose and fell, echoing rhythmically in the tunnel.

He looked inside and saw foreigners who were sweating profusely and working hard.

After digging out the ore, the players took out a small bottle from their backpacks and dripped the First Dew of Sakura on the ore. The filthy substance that covered the surface of the ore immediately receded like a tide.

He carefully put away the purified ore as if it was a treasure and continued to repeat the process until the First Dew of Sakura was used up.

The players poured for a long time and found that the small bottle was empty. A drop of it was also empty. After that, they gritted their teeth and reluctantly left the mine.

The ores themselves were not very valuable to the players, but everything changed after the merchant fleet set up a smelting camp a few days ago.

The players only needed to bring the purified ores to the camp and talk to the NPC [Miner Leader-Light] inside. Then, they could obtain points according to the quantity and quality of the ores they handed in.

According to the number of points, the player could go to the final NPC [Zhao Jie] to register and level up their [Entrusted Forging] level step by step.

As the name suggested, the players did not have the ability to forge equipment themselves, so they entrusted it to an NPC. This was the latest and only way for Sakuragi Island’s players to obtain equipment.

From top to bottom, there were currently three tiers open.

As the level increased, players could commission NPC to forge equipment of higher quality, from the lowest ” Normal ” to ” Excellent ” and the highest ” Rare “.

That’s right. For ordinary people, with Zhao Jie’s merchant association’s ability, forging ” Rare ” equipment was already considered very high. This was all thanks to Zhao Jie’s selfishness and the fact that he had brought along a Blacksmith Master in the merchant association. Therefore, the number of ” Rare ” equipment available to players was limited every day.

Of course, most of the gamers had not even reached the most basic [Qualification to Submit] because the new camp had just opened.

At this time, it was necessary to mention the players who had quietly done the [Mining] mission issued by Vivian in the beginning.

While the other players were busy digging in the mines in order to activate the commission forging, they had already accumulated a lot of ores by being one step ahead. They went to Light to exchange for points and obtained the right to commission forging immediately.

There were even a small number of Liver Kings who, after handing in all the ores from their livers, directly jumped levels with the points they obtained. They jumped to the level where they could commission others to forge Excellent quality equipment, making others envious.

“Four hundred and seventy-three thousand five hundred and seventy-two copper coins, which is equivalent to four thousand seven hundred silver coins…After deducting the two silver taels per day for each worker, the total net income was…2,600 silver coins! Converting gold coins was…260 gold!”

In the accountant’s office of the new Chamber of Commerce’s camp on Sakuragi Island, Zhao Jie’s eyes widened when he saw that he had calculated the smelter’s turnover in less than a week. Then, his mouth almost crooked from laughing.

Good fellow!

This was no different from opening a factory on the Moon Abyss Island!？

Zhao Jie didn’t expect these foreigners to have such a strong desire to spend money. They didn’t even blink when they spent money. Didn’t they have to consider their future food, clothing, accommodation, wives, and children? He had really spent all his money on forging equipment.

Just a few days of net income alone was close to 300 gold. This was only the initial stage. After Zhao Jie did a market evaluation, this figure would probably increase by several times.

So…

Where did these foreigners get so much money?

This was indeed a question that Zhao Jie had been wondering about for the past few days.

Usually, people like the outlanders, who were categorized as ” adventurers ” by Zhao Jie, relied on completing commissions or collecting monster materials. After handing them over to the Adventurer’s Association, the Adventurer’s Association would be responsible for converting them into equivalent currency.

It was only when Zhao Jie saw with his own eyes that the foreigner could “touch” a few copper coins from the monster’s corpse that he was dumbfounded.

But correspondingly, the monster’s corpse would also disappear quickly after this.

Zhao Jie could only interpret this phenomenon as a common secret method for foreigners to refine corpses. It was similar to the alchemy method of turning stone into gold in the legends of Guili.

Dong dong dong…

Just as Zhao Jie was analyzing the foreigner, there was a knock on the door. When Zhao Jie opened his mouth to let someone in, he realized that it was a worker.

“Ah Guang, why are you here?”

The burly man at the door was nervous and restrained. After Zhao Jie gestured for him to enter the house, the head miner named Ah Guang suddenly wanted to kneel down.

“Eh? You, what are you doing? Get up, get up, Guang!”Fortunately, Zhao Jie was quick to react. He shouted anxiously as he quickly helped her up.

“Boss, Boss Zhao… I just want to thank you, thank you…Thank you for giving us such a job! And this, such a high salary in the Frankenes!”

Ah Guang sobbed with a hint of sobs.

Zhao Jie quickly moved a stool for him and poured him a glass of water. He comforted him by telling him to calm down and sit down.
