Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 106:

Hopps and the others didn't know that Sui Xiong had been inspired by their beneficiation work, conducted some outdated research, and finally got the good result of "the Northwest Republic will build a large magic pool". They still work hard every day to select ores, select the mithril ore from the silver ore, and then send them to the two appraisal masters for further screening and select the innate mithril ore.

This job is boring and boring, but it is good for honing the technique. After the batch of silver ore is finally sorted, Hops feels that his understanding of the ore has improved. If in the game, his "dressing" skills have definitely improved a lot of proficiency, and he has made a big step forward steadily on the road from expert to master.

If he can keep on training like this, maybe after a year or a half, he will be able to distinguish between congenital mithril and acquired mithril.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

"You look very happy, is it because the boring work of beneficiation is finally over?" Ruby sitting next to him asked, "To be honest, the work is really a bit unbearable, I would rather go alone Fight against a group of trolls and don’t want that kind of work."

Hopes looked at his slightly darkened face and couldn't help but smile and said, "You didn't choose many mines, why do you look so tired?"

"I used to think that fighting was very exhausting, but now I know that it turns out that doing internal affairs is also very exhausting." Ruby said helplessly, "I have to coordinate manpower every day to deal with various things...I really I'm not good at it, I am a fighter, not a scholar or a nobleman!"

"But I think you are doing a good job, everything is in order. If you are not good at this, what can you be good at?" Hops asked rhetorically.

Ruby was speechless and could only remain silent.

"He just doesn't like this kind of work." Sid sitting next to them said, "But there is no way if we don't like it. We can't stop working because we don't like work, life is like this."

"If I can, I hope I can be a librarian. My daily job is to read books, organize books, borrow and return books, and be quiet and free from conflict with the world. That’s so peaceful and peaceful. Sid sighed softly and said, "But, no. I have responsibilities that I must bear, and work that I must do. I am not young anymore and I have no wayward power."

He looked at Ruby with a faint pale green eyes: "You are older than me, and the pressure of life must be greater than me, so you must understand this truth better. It’s a day to be happy, and a day to be unhappy, why not adjust your mood and try to like this job?"

Ruby was taken aback, smiled, sighed, and shook his head.

"You are right, but I can't do it. I really can't like this kind of tedious, constant dealing with various people, various numbers, and account books!"

He turned his head and looked at Du Du, who was eating and drinking with a group of people next to him, with a look of envy in his eyes.

"Sometimes, I really envy this guy with a nerve. He is always so happy, as if he has never been carefree."

"That's probably because he really likes the job." Hops said, "Just like me. You may think that beneficiation is a very boring and boring thing, but I can be here Find fun in a job. Carefully study each piece of ore, judging its texture from its edges and corners, cross-sections, and reflections. It's like opening a book of wonderful books, browsing books with rocks as the carrier... …As long as you calm down and do it, it’s actually quite interesting."

Looking at him smiling, Ruby couldn't help sighing again, and drank silently.

Tonight is a celebration banquet to celebrate the completion of the preliminary selection of that batch of Mithril ore. It is not suitable to say those boring and unhappy things.

The next morning, Hops got up very early. He set up his equipment early, and then told his friends about it, and set out to explore the veins with a few other prospecting crews.

In the past period of time, the exploration team has explored about a quarter of the entire mining area. In the entire mining area, most of the places that are more convenient to move have been walked by them, and the rest are somewhat dangerous. Without a skilled expert to lead the team, ordinary prospecting workers really dare not go.

Death behaviors such as "extreme sports" are not popular in this world. Both nobles and civilians pay attention to personal safety-so the adventure theme playground "Dungeons and Dragons" in the Void City is so popular, because It can meet the adventurous needs of those who are rich without real risks.

It's midwinter now, a real world of ice and snow. In this kind of weather and environment, it is really dangerous to climb those steep rock walls, or go down to the bottom of the cliff along the cracks in the stone. Not to mention that most of the exploration teams are just civilians with a little bit of survival ability in the wild, even experienced adventurers are generally unwilling to do this kind of thing.

So if it weren't for Hops as the core, prospecting workers would never dare to take risks.

Wearing special snow boots, wrapped themselves in thick waterproof winter clothes like a bear, a group of four people walked along the road that had been opened during this period of time, and it was not until noon that they arrived at their reservation. A place to be further explored.

It was a cliff. Although it was not straight up and down, it was enough to make people stop. What's more terrifying is that there are many places on the cliffs with ice and snow-or to put it more clearly, the places on the cliffs that are a little less steep, and where you can stand, are already covered by ice and snow.

"Captain Hops, look at the top." A prospecting worker pointed to a certain section of the cliff. Although the sun is not very good today, some obvious silvery white can still be clearly seen.

There is no doubt that it is a mineral vein.

"Let me go up and take a look." Hops carefully observed for a while, and determined that he couldn't judge the condition of the mineral vein only by observing from a distance, so he planned to take a risk and climb the cliff to the side of the vein. Field survey.

This is a very dangerous thing and requires a lot of preparation work~IndoMTL.com~ With the help of three companions, it took him several hours to nail a dozen waterproof spikes on the cliff.

When he actually climbs, these spikes will be where he stepped on his feet and **** the safety rope, and they are also his life insurance.

That's the end of the day's work. The next day they came again and continued to nail long spikes on the cliff, and they nailed a dozen more.

But the third day was a little bit unsuccessful. Because of the snow, the work was greatly affected, and only four spikes were nailed in total.

According to this trend, it is estimated that it will take another five or six days to open up a relatively safe passage, enough for Hops to climb all the way to the vein for field investigation.

Hopps is not in a hurry, nor is the prospecting team in a hurry. Field exploration is a time-consuming thing. It can even be said that in most cases, they actually don't spend much time.

Time is safety. The more time you spend and the more prepared you are, the safer you will be.

For them, safety is the most important thing.
