I Just Won’t Play by the Book Chapter 3: Being a miner is really exhausting
went up the mountain, Jiang Beiran soon learned of his trial content from the head of the road.
"Bei Ran, cultivation is something that requires hardship and perseverance, and mining is the best way to exercise these two qualities. As long as you persist and pass the test of the mountain guard, the poor will come. Pick you up into the clan."
Leaving these words and the fighting spirit Jiang Beiran, the black robe Daochang turned around and went down the mountain.
‘Master, I will definitely work hard to repay your kindness! ’
vowed secretly in his heart, Jiang Beiran followed a guardian into the mine.
However, such ambitions were completely extinguished the next day. The reason is simple, mining is really exhausting!
Jiang Beiran was just an ordinary second-year student before crossing, and he hadn't even attended a few sessions of physical education, so his physical fitness can be said to be quite poor.
After crossing over, his body hasn't strengthened much. In addition to the lack of nutrition, his body can't be described as skinny.
Without any training, Jiang Beiran was taken to a mine by two mountain guards early the next morning. After meeting several taciturn workers, the mountain guard gave him a basket and a mining pick and told him to try hard.
In Jiang Beiran’s imagination, mining should be like a computer game by "clanging", "clanging" and "clanging" against a piece of ore.
However, in reality, the smelly, sultry, dark, and small mine environment made him confused at once. Where did he see this posture when he was in junior high school not long ago?
But the two mountain guards obviously didn't plan to give him time to prepare mentally. They pushed him directly into the "pit road" supported by wooden boards.
Because of the different heights of the "Wolu", Jiang Beiran sometimes walks standing, sometimes squatting, and sometimes even rolling with his back like a beetle, so just when he reaches the mining point, his physical strength has almost been consumed. Empty.
There is no rest time. As soon as he arrived at the place, he was urged by two mountain guards to go mining. As the saying goes, it’s not difficult to watch people carry on. Jiang Beiran used to watch the workers wielding hoes on TV, always thinking about this. How much effort does it take?
However, in reality, he was so tired that his throat burst into flames after only a dozen blows. His hands seemed to be filled with lead, and he was too heavy to lift it up.
"Ha...Ha..."
Jiang Beiran, whose hands were sore, tried desperately to breathe in some fresh air with his pick, but there was only a burst of gas in the mine, which made him feel dizzy as he smelled it.
"Who gave you a rest, do you want to pass the trial?"
Just when Jiang Beiran was about to faint, a guardian came up and pushed him.
Hearing the word trial, Jiang Beiran sighed again and wanted to continue fighting, but he couldn't lift both hands.
‘Oh! I'm so useless, I'm sorry, Master, I let you down. ’
scolded himself in his heart, Jiang Beiran shook his head and said: "I...I really can't dig."
"How many digs did you dig? You can't dig anymore. Just like that, you want to join the clan?"
"It’s...I’m useless, I will apologize to the Chief Minister, I let him down, I’m sorry."
Jiang Beiran sighed deeply, feeling that the protagonists of the novels he had read could clearly explode incomparably tenacious will for the purpose of practicing. Why is he so weak? I don’t know about this broken system. Help.
admitted in his heart that he was weak and Jiang Beiran was preparing to accept the defeat and felt a sudden pain in his abdomen.
"Damn it! It's a waste. The few who came in earlier have been fighting for months to enter the bird sect. You bear stuff is only the first day and it won’t work."
The guardian gave Jiang Beiran another kick while talking.
Jiang Beiran was stunned by these two kicks, only to feel a whirl of the sky, a buzzing in his head, an ominous premonition rushed straight into his heart.
But before he could figure it out, the mountain guard squatted down and grabbed his hair and shouted: "Trash stuff, listen carefully to Lao Tzu. It’s true that you can be a man of sect. Master? I’m telling you, you’re just a trash, now I’m digging well for Lao Tzu. If you can’t dig, Lao Tzu will kill you, understand!?"
Jiang Beiran listened and shook his head and shouted: "I want to see my master, I want to see my master."
"Your master? Hahahahaha." The guardian laughed wildly and asked, "What is your master's name?"
"My master is called...My master is called..."
Jiang Beiran was stunned again. After two days, the Taoist leader never told him his name, nor did he ask.
"I... my master is a Taoist from Huo Sect. He brought me here yesterday. I want to see him, I want to see him!"
"Hahahaha." The guardian's laughter grew wilder, and then he kicked Jiang Beiran's belly again: "Leaving Huo Sect, dream of your spring and autumn, I will give you two A choice, either continue to stand up and mine, or be kicked to death by me, you only have three seconds."
Shoushanren just finished speaking, three options appeared in front of Jiang Beiran~IndoMTL.com~ Option 1: Continue to lie on your stomach. Completion reward: Qinglian Secret Record (prefecture-level inferior)]
[Option 2: Ask the other party to let you down the mountain. Completion reward: Earth Fire Skill (Xuan-level top grade)]
[Option 3: Get up and continue mining. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
"2!"
When Jiang Beiran looked at the content of the options, the guardian had already counted to 2, and kicked him in the stomach again.
At this moment, Jiang Bei has realized it! He understands that the content of these options is not important at all. Just look at the rewards. The better the rewards, the more dangerous this option is!
Because from the strength of the kick just now, Jiang Beiran fully believes that the other party dared to kick him to death. If he continues to lie on his stomach, he will definitely be dead.
So before the "3" in the Moriyama population was about to be called out, Jiang Beiran immediately chose three and stood up with a strong will to survive.
"Very good, isn't this still powerful? Just dig it if you don't want to die! Did you hear that!?"
Jiang Beiran was shaking all over at this time, but in order to survive, he still tried his best to lift the mining pick and smash it down.
[The optional task has been completed, reward: physique +1]
Looking at the system prompts that had floated before, and the traces of strength gushing out of his body, Jiang Beiran was stunned.
‘Is it done directly? ’
Before, when he chose [Seeking the truth and accepting me as a disciple], he didn't give him a reward at all. Instead, it became a task, but now he just got the reward directly after completing the content on the option.
The difference in difficulty was so big that he was stunned.
"What are you doing again!?"
Hearing the guardian...oh no, the supervisor yelled, Jiang Beiran hurriedly continued to raise the mine pick and knock.
