The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 551: Never Leave Husky Alone At Home

Chapter 551: Never Leave Husky Alone At Home

Thirteenth Fragrance did not expect the opportunity to experience the life of a gold miner personally. Of course, being a gold miner, he did not have it so easy that he could just stroll through the mining area and pick up gold without even using a pickaxe.

Ever since the onboarding session, he went to the mining area with Longjing Tea.

The house they resided in was very close to the mining area.

When Longjing Tea bought them a house, they should have expected it.

It took less than twenty minutes to walk there, and then it was a long loop down the stairs.

When Thirteenth Fragrance got down to the bottom, he showed his license. After registering his name, he went in, put on a numbered bracelet of solid gold, and took a bag and a pickaxe.

For some reason, the experience reminded Thirteenth Fragrance of going to a bathing center to take a bath.

He did not go too deep with this thought either. Instead, he roamed around the entrance and harvested a couple of gold ores.

This feels like playing a low-difficulty gold miner stimulator.

It’s so easy.

If it were too heavy, he would not be able to take it back. When he collected enough of them, he returned to the entrance, handed in the bracelet and pickaxe, and brought the gold ores back.

According to Longjing Tea, the license permitted only one person to enter. Moreover, the VIP license was obtained after selling the rare curse vessel “Demon Blood” to Nefertari.

After all, even if Nieusel wanted to help them, they could not just issue everyone a mining license. However, the “Secret Eye” came here to purify nightmares, not to take the subway and dive into the exploration layer to mine, which would derail from their primary goal.

However, Longjing Tea and the others just teleported over and sold the special product, “Demon Blood”, in exchange for some magical materials. They then told Nieusel that they wanted some “extra financial a.s.sistance”.

With that, the Longjing Tea team got a license.

They came here and had acc.u.mulated funding for quite some time.

But after that, they planned to leave and return to the Noah Kingdom to “resupply goods”. On the way, they would return to the capital and help Annan check up on Kafni, whom he had not seen for a while. They would ask her if she needed any help. After that, they might need to stay in the capital for a long time.

But this license would be a bit of a waste if left unused.

Thus, Longjing Tea’s team intended to lease this license to the Thirteenth Fragrance team.

They only asked for a tenth of the commission. Then, they could alternately tackle the nightmare, wander around the city, and harvest the gold. If their planning was done well, they could harvest gold for twelve hours daily and continuously transport gold ores into the villa.

After saving enough of the gold, they would send a message to Longjing Tea through the Friend system. He would contact Mr. Ray’s believers to take away the harvested gold. After drawing a certain cut, they would turn the refined gold into legal gold bricks, stamp Mr. Ray’s seal, and then send it back.

This would be where Longjing Tea and his team got their start-up capital.

After waiting another two hours, they found out that no new players had logged in, so Longjing Tea and the others returned to their residence.

Thirteenth Fragrance took Husky to the Misero Excavation Site and showed her the way. The rest of the work was to let Husky take Ah Dian there again, and then they could start working.

They were not imposed with a requirement on the amount of gold harvested. They would have earned as long as the license did not sit idle.

Instead, they should dedicate most of their time to leveling up.

That referred to the “nightmare” that Longjing Tea mentioned.

While waiting for Husky to return from the Misero Excavation Site, Thirteenth Fragrance had already skimmed the must-see posts.

He then used the built-in search function of the Freezing Water Port forum to browse several times the terms he did not quite understand. In addition, he ran through further in-depth research for things he did not understand in the results so as to quickly collect information.

He quickly determined that the main approach to level up in this world was to tackle the dungeon instances…or in other words, to purify nightmares.

This world’s “dungeon instance” was not the kind of dungeon that could be repeatedly sp.a.w.ned. Instead, they were memory fragments related to a certain memory of the deceased transcender, but the content had been distorted.

Players’ ability to remain awake in nightmares, to quickly purify the nightmares, and to have a const.i.tution that was not greatly affected by deaths in nightmares, as well as a mechanism to clear erosion, were the fundamental reasons why the “Secret Eye” gradually gained influence in the underground world.

While I am leveling up, you are happy. In a sense, this was the definition of an adventurer.

However, Thirteenth Fragrance continued to search cautiously and found the posts left by players discussing nightmare strategies. Then, he followed the published time of the post and found several “cla.s.sic recordings” with relatively high evaluation ratings and relatively strong controversy.

He did not have the time to watch them all, but he had bookmarked them—anyway, he had access to the forum even after returning to the original world.

The time spent in this world he seemed to be counted as sleep in his original world.

Playing this “game” would not only help the user feel less tired, but his body would also maintain its posture before entering this world. It only took four or five hours to have an energetic day.

This was undoubtedly a good perk.

His work was busy. Moreover, he also ran a company that supported many people. He was not a content creator like Lin Yiyi, who could quit if she wanted to.

Not only did he have to work, but he also had to maintain the quality of his work.

Since this “game” could be accessed at night, it allowed him to be online every day. It just happened that the game would force him to fall asleep when he suffered from insomnia. This would undoubtedly save him a lot of time.

Thirteenth Fragrance wondered if it could bring his company’s copywriting work into this world.

This way, he could work overtime in his dream.

At the same time, he could even mine in his dreams.

After escorting Husky back, Thirteenth Fragrance quit the game directly.

On the one hand, he wanted to do an experiment to confirm whether this “game” could be logged out; on the other hand, he wanted to move his body back to the bed first.

He still remembered that he should be lying on the computer chair now.

No matter how high the sleep quality was, a stiff neck would be insufferable the next day.

He would lie on the bed, open a few bottles of cold beer, and then order a fried chicken bucket to watch the recording slowly. Wasn’t that much more comfortable than lying on a wooden bed and breathing the unpleasant pungent smell while watching the recording?

“My weight is going to increase again.” Thirteenth Fragrance lay comfortably on the bed, murmuring in a low voice while opening up the food takeaway app.

It was 11:00 p.m.

The time flowed at the same rate for both worlds.

In this case, he planned to have another barbecue skewer and wait until three or four in the morning before returning to the game. Anyway, the underground world had no distinction between day and night.

As for his body weight, Thirteenth Fragrance had always been indifferent to it.

As long as he did not plan to find a wife, his life would be much more comfortable.

Husky once mentioned a saying on the show.

It was said that there was no hatred for no reason in this world, nor was there obesity for no reason.

Thirteenth Fragrance was aware of where his fat came from.

But he still could not control his mouth!

…That reminds me.

“It looks like there’s also plenty of fun and delicacies in Mist Continent.”

Thirteenth Fragrance fell into deep thought, “After all, eating too much fat is not good for my body…”

Speaking of which, did he forget something?

On the other side, Husky and Ah Dian carried a bag of gold ores and walked out from the mine, panting heavily.

“It’s too heavy—” Husky complained.

Ah Dian, on the side, also muttered in dissatisfaction, “Who told you to take so much? It’s the same if we collect it on the second round instead.”

Husky collected too many gold ores, twice as much as that in the Thirteenth Fragrance’s bag. It was torturous for them to go up the stairs—Forget about carrying it. One person had to pull at the front, and the other pus.h.i.+ng from behind.

Ah Dian came here to memorize the path but was caught off guard and pulled over to help.

After the initial sense of reverence for her senior faded away… or rather, Husky’s playful nature, as the name suggested, it became difficult for Ah Dian to be serious.

“Because the gold is just there!” Husky was stupefied, “It’s so heavy. How about Ah Dian lift it for me?

“Anyway, Thirteenth Fragrance won’t be available for a while, so I guess he must be offline for supper. Why don’t we laze around after we go back?”

When she said this, she suddenly cheered up, “Hey? Didn’t we collect a lot? We just pretended that we had gone twice. You went for one round of harvest, and I did too. Then, we pretended to have harvested the gold ores. With that, we can rest for a while!”

“That seems like a good plan.”

Hearing this, Ah Dian hesitated, “But is this really okay?”

“What’s wrong with it? Let’s just say we went there twice! Then we s.h.i.+pped it back in one go, which saved us a round trip. No matter what, it looks like a smart move!”

Husky said with bright eyes.

“…Pfft.” Hearing this, there was a chuckle from a woman who could not help laughing.

Husky turned his head without hesitation and looked at the person curiously. Ah Dian shyly covered her face, lowered her head, dragged the bag, and walked forward.

“Huh?” Husky snorted lightly.

The underground residents she had met previously were either dark or white skin, and their pupils were bright like two light bulbs.

One of the two people walking behind her was indeed like this. She had burning eyes and a formidable demeanor, like an adult version of Shana [1].

But the other person had black hair and black eyes and well-defined features. Like an Italian, his skin color was natural. Moreover, his pupils were not s.h.i.+ning.

They were just like the players.

Are they people above the ground?

Such an idea quickly popped up in Husky’s mind.

Immediately, she had a strange a.s.sociation: The people on the ground who would appear in the gold mining area, if they did not look like they were here to fight for something with their lives, then they must be a big shot!

“Is there anything we can do for you?” She asked without hesitation.

Aquamarine’s pupils stared at the man without blinking. Although it was the first time Husky used the girl’s body, she naturally showed a cute smile, “How about you, sir?”

—Brother, can you give me some missions?

The meaning between the lines went like this.

The opposite man also coughed lightly with a strange expression, “Of course. If you want to work, I can give you a job that works twelve hours a day.

“But, let’s go back and find a place to discuss the details… Husky.”

“Huh?“
