This was a piece of ore slightly larger than a fist. Its color was clearly darker than the ones dug up previously, and holding it in his hand, it seemed to have become a little heavier.

Ding! System Notification: Identification successful, Proficiency + 0.0002%.

Hematite: Low quality ore, purity 16.2%.

Dongfang Qingyu was slightly surprised. It had always been at a level below 10%, suddenly producing a piece of ore with a purity of 16.2%. Did this mean that there was still a better ore later on? His heart began to race.

Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang …

After half an hour, the ground was covered with a pile of ores. Dongfang Qingyu wiped his sweat and started to appraise the ores.

He was probably the first one who used the Identification Art to check ores. Normal people would use the probing technique.

He had thought that he was going to transport it around, but it turned out that it was just a fleeting moment. Just as he was about to put away his pickaxe and think of ways to go down the mountain after he had finished appraising the last ore, he suddenly realized something wrong. He recalled that the purity of the ore that he had appraised had increased from the original 5% purity to the highest 9.8%. His gaze fell upon the mining site, following a straight line. In other words, if he continued to delve deeper, there was a high chance that the purity of the ore would continue to improve. 16.2% of the ore may not be ephemeral, but it may be an omen. Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore. He picked up his pickaxe and continued to work.

Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang …

After mastering a bit of the technique, the mining speed had increased by a little bit, and the accuracy had also increased. The beak had been nailed to the crack, evidently saving a bit of effort.

The swelling only lasted for about half an hour. The rest was supported by his willpower. His back and waist were aching, so he could only endure. Finally, his arm went numb. He checked the time and found that there was less than two hours left.

Two and a half hours, three hours, four hours, six hours … Dongfang Qingyu finally could not hold on any longer, and with a clank, the pickaxe flew out of his hand. He did not care as he sat on the ground and rested for a good five minutes before he began his appraisal.

The purity of the ore was still not high, but this time, Dongfang Qingyu's state of mind was very calm, because he saw hope. The purity of the ore was still rising.

To go from 10% to more than 10% was definitely a breakthrough. This meant that he was heading in the right direction. He wasn't afraid of the difficulties, but he was afraid of the hopelessness. As long as there was hope, then there would be motivation. Dongfang Qingyu was currently in this state, although he was tired, his body still had a force supporting him.

The number of ores dug out became fewer and fewer, and the sun started to set. Unknowingly, he had been delayed at the mine for a whole day, and hunger started to strike, causing Dongfang Qingyu to clench his teeth and continue appraising.

Dongfang Qingyu held the last ore, and intentionally left the last one behind, because this ore was the one with the coldest color and the one with the most concentrated Qi. If one wanted to find the answer, this coal mine was the key point.

Ding! System prompt: Identification successful, experience + 0.0003%.

Hematite: Low-grade Ore, purity 22.8%.

"Huuu ~ ~ ~"

Dongfang Qingyu laughed, the gamble was right, the day was not wasted effort, he stood up from the ground, he swayed and almost fell, he immediately supported himself on the wall of the cave, but because he had been sitting there for too long, his feet became numb, and he was suddenly secretly surprised, this camouflage was too exaggerated, even his blood flow was not good enough for him.

After resting for a while, when his feet no longer felt numb, he picked up the pickaxe. The sky had already darkened and Dongfang Qingyu was extremely tired. He walked down the mountain and decided to continue tomorrow. The monsters on the road had disappeared, but the grass and trees were shaking as if there were countless monsters moving. He did not dare to turn back as he rushed down the mountain at the fastest speed he could muster.

After logging off, he didn't say anything for the entire night.

Before dawn of the second day, Dongfang Qingyu had already rushed onto the line. He carried his pickaxe and went up the mountain, the monster just happened to be back to its nest at this time.

Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang …

At first, Dongfang Qingyu was afraid that he would anger the monsters in the vicinity, but after waiting for a while, no monsters came, so he relaxed.

It was unknown if it was because he had still not recovered from his fatigue from yesterday, but it had only been less than two hours, and Dongfang Qingyu already felt that he was out of breath. After digging for another half an hour, he had no choice but to stop and use the time to rest during the assessment.

Compared to yesterday, today's suffering was more satisfying. Each piece of ore was no longer a stone, but rather a bright yellow copper coin. Although the value was unknown, it was definitely higher than a piece of trash.

After identifying all the Hematite, he continued to dig. After he was tired of digging, he would identify them. The sun had set, and it was only when Dongfang Qingyu could no longer see it clearly that he finally put down the pickaxe. Today, he was in a good mood, and his thoughts were in a good state, but his body was in a bad state. Compared to yesterday, the number of ores he had dug up had decreased by at least 20%, which made Dongfang Qingyu suspect that the steamed bun he had eaten in the morning was out of date.

After one day, he had obtained 860 Hematite s with a purity of over 20%, which were basically the size of a fist. The size of an infant's head was only fifty, and the biggest was like a basketball.

The s could only hold about 400 pieces of ore, which was slightly larger than the Hematite s. It could hold about 22 pieces of the Hematite s, but because some of the ores were relatively large, after they were filled up, there were still 50 pieces of Hematite s remaining. The fist sized one weighed about one Jin, and the 50 pieces of Hematite s could hold around 50 pieces of stone.

Along the same road, on the way back, it took him 25 minutes to finish using 2 hours and 9 hours of hard work to finally bring the 50 kg of ore back to the Novice Village. To this end, he contributed the first set of clothes since he entered the game, the grey cloth clothes. More than fifty ores fell onto the ground, giving Dwarf Man a fright. He had no pockets, so he could only wrap the ore in his clothes.

"How much is the ore?" Dongfang Qingyu, who was on the verge of collapsing, didn't even have the strength to speak yet. His eyes were fixated on the Dwarf, who told him to go mining, and if he didn't take the iron ore, he would cry.

"15 copper coins for one." The dwarf looked at the ore with disdain.

"That little?" Dongfang Qingyu lost control of his voice, and suddenly shouted loudly.
