A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

"One pound is worth six soul coins. Soul coins are very important; they will be your guarantee for survival in the future."

"One more thing, what's given to you, don't give to anyone else. If I find out, don't blame me for being impolite," Zhou An said calmly.

Upon hearing this, they immediately patted their chests and guaranteed that they would mine to death.

Furthermore, they would never give even a single gram of the ore provided by Zhou An to anyone else.

Zhou An glanced at the group of women and then said, "If these girls don't jump, I'll buy all your ore."

"I'm not one to back down to force. Want some ore? Not a single pound."

The strange creatures around them stared in disbelief, their faces filled with astonishment.

Twenty-five people, each weighing one hundred jin, that's two thousand five hundred jin.

This human miner is only down in the mine for the first time today.

Adding to what he had previously handed over, it was equivalent to digging up 3,000 jin in one day.

Most importantly, it seems that there's more to it than that.

The rule item must be the mining rule item.

This allows him, a mere third-tier human, to mine thousands of kilograms of ore in a single day.

Some people looked at Zhou An with strange greed.

Some of the strange creatures in Mine No. 50, like Zhou An, have all set their sights on him.

However, considering the commotion he caused when he made his move, he must be at least at the fifth level.

There is also a Tier 5 Strange Miner in Mine No. 50, but there are only one.

The reason why a fifth-order weirdo would go mining is not because he is short of money, but because his abilities are suited to mining.

It's considered the best job.

In other mines, the highest level of strange creatures is only fourth-order; fifth-order strange creatures are nowhere to be seen.

The eerie gaze of that fifth-ranked individual fell upon Zhou An, his eyes flickering, clearly indicating that he was plotting something.

Zhou An didn't care at all.

If it's a fifth-tier unit, no matter how many come, they'll all die.

As for the sixth rank? Unless Tang Ming personally intervenes.

However, inside the mine, the management must be even stricter, and it's impossible for them to kill miners at will.

Unless they go to a dangerous area to take action against Zhou An.

But was Zhou An afraid? Not at all.

To be honest, Zhou An was hoping that Tang Ming would make a move against him.

Perfect timing! I'd like to see if Zhou An can put up a fight against a sixth-tier opponent.

Zhou An did not linger in the square afterward, preparing to continue down the mine.

He doesn't plan to rest for the next ten days.

Mining 24/7, you need to fill your inventory.

He even has many four-dimensional pockets, which can also hold things.

As soon as Zhou An disappeared into the mine, the women quickly gathered around the lucky ones.

"Um, handsome, could you...?"

"Get out!" A young man in his mid-twenties shouted at the rather pretty woman.

The woman froze on the spot, her face turning red at a visible speed.

"Hmph, shrimp-headed man, what are you pretending for? You still need that shrimp-headed man's charity, don't you?" the woman said with a cold snort.

"So what if I give alms? One hundred catties, that's equivalent to five hundred soul coins. You want to beg for alms? I won't even give you a second glance," the young man said with a sneer.

"That's right, don't touch me, get lost."

"Don't come any closer, get out of here, you bunch of women who've been marinated in Xiaohongshu, get out of here right now."

All the boys looked at the women with disgust.

This made the girls so angry they wanted to tear the scumbag boyfriend apart.

Unfortunately, they didn't dare, nor did they have the ability.

"Sister Yi, Brother Han, let's ignore them. They're just a bunch of scoundrels and sluts." The girls quickly came over to Zhao Yi and Wang Han.

Wang Han was also having a headache at the moment. He had only managed to unleash 45 jin of his fourth-level strength today.

Then he was given 25 jin directly, and he felt he couldn't continue like this.

“Starting tomorrow, I will only give each of you one jin (500 grams) per day,” Wang Han said in a deep voice.

You know, he could keep those twenty-five jin for himself and sell them outside, which would be worth a lot of soul coins.

He only brought out so much because he wanted to save face, was fawned over by these women, and was also a member of the Bureau of Strange Affairs.

"Huh? Brother Han, how could you do this?"

"Yes, I want you to dig more so we can dig less."

“Mining is exhausting. It’s dark and dirty inside. Brother Han mined more than forty tons during the day, and if you add the night, he can easily mine seventy or eighty tons.”

The group of girls were immediately surprised, and then they all pointed fingers at Wang Hanlai.

Upon seeing this, Wang Han's forehead veins bulged.

These women are hopeless. How could they have been so bewitched?

"If you say one more word, you won't get a single pound."

“Mining has no time limit, and there’s still free time. I advise you to go mining now,” Wang Han said in a deep voice.

However, those girls, believing that Wang Han could be easily manipulated, began to criticize him in their own tone.

"Damn it, you bunch of idiots, I'm not going to deal with you anymore." Wang Han got angry and roared, then turned around and went back to his dormitory.

He's going to get some rest tonight, and then start mining like crazy tomorrow to make money.

When the group of women saw Wang Han leave, they immediately started cursing and swearing, without even trying to stop him.

Zhao Yiyi, who was standing nearby, immediately became anxious and hurriedly chased after Wang Han.

Unfortunately, Wang Han and Zhao Yiyi started arguing and parted on bad terms.

When Zhao Yi returned, all the women surrounded her.

"Sister Yiyi, that shrimp-headed guy has abandoned us. We're all counting on you."

"Yes, Sister Yiyi, we are all weak women, we can't mine much ore."

"Sister Yiyi, please, you're the best."

These women were implying that they wanted to rely on Zhao Yi to mine.

"I can help you. I'm only at level three, and I can only dig up about twenty kilograms during the day."

“I can give each of you one jin, but only for tomorrow. Starting tomorrow, you will all have to work hard to mine. An ordinary person can easily mine ten jin a day,” Zhao Yi said.

Well, this Soul Iron Ore, well, an ordinary person could definitely mine ten kilograms of it.

Of course, it should be a whole day, not just a single day.

As soon as Zhao Yi said those words, the girls immediately went wild.

"How could you do this, Sister Yiyi? You could have given me a pound, but you're only giving me tomorrow's worth?"

"Sister Yiyi, you weren't like this before. Have you started flirting with men too?"

“We are all women, and women should help each other. Sister Yiyi, you dig more. If you can dig forty pounds, you can keep ten pounds.”

"Yeah, you're a Tier 3 player."

Upon hearing these people's words, Zhao Yi's breathing became rapid.

"I can only give you three days at most," Zhao Yi said slowly, suppressing her emotions.

This was the concession she could make as a woman and as a member of the Bureau of Mysteries.

"No, it will take ten days, and you have to give us thirty catties."

"Yes, not a single day less, not a single pound less."

A group of people immediately began to angrily criticize Zhao Yi.

"Damn it, a bunch of idiots, I'm not putting up with this anymore!" Zhao Yi couldn't hold back any longer. She roared and turned to leave without hesitation.

They stood there, stunned, watching Zhao Yi leave.

Then their defenses were breached, and they unleashed a barrage of attacks on Zhao Yi.

Some players who hadn't left yet were laughing so hard their stomachs hurt when they saw this.

These idiots are hilarious!

……

After Zhou An went down into the mine, he slowly walked towards the danger zone.

He's waiting, waiting to see if he can catch any fish.

Ideally, we'd like to get a fourth or fifth-tier weapon.

Absorbing the Soul Devouring Technique feels really good.

"So, is anyone following us?" Zhou An communicated with the benevolent being through the mind translator.

At this moment, a benevolent entity that had transformed into an ordinary eerie being at the mine entrance replied, "No, there are only a few first or second-tier eerie beings going down into the mine."

"You just keep watching there, I'm sure some fish will take the bait," Zhou An said with a faint smile.

"Here he comes, here he comes, that fifth-tier weirdo, he went down into the mine, and he's heading in the same direction as you," the benevolent entity quickly replied.

“Okay, keep watching and see if Manager Tang comes down.” Zhou An’s lips curled up slightly.

Zhou An then quickened his pace.
