Chapter 6: The Huge Western Suburbs Mine

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Just as Su Ce retracted his gaze, the male assassin suddenly seemed to sense something and turned around to look at him. “Hey, kid, it’s not good behavior to eavesdrop on people’s conversations!”

Facing the man’s question, Su Ce looked a little embarrassed. “I’m sorry. I don’t mean any harm. I’m just a little curious—”

“Listen, rookie, it’s rude to use Appraisal on people you don’t know unless you want to fight them. Do you understand?” the assassin said bluntly as he drew a scimitar emitting a faint cold light from a scabbard in his hand.

“Understood. I’ve learned…” Su Ce cupped his hands apologetically. After seeing the other party turn around again, he heaved a sigh of relief. Looks like I can’t use Appraisal on people casually in the future.

The reason why the other party could sense that he had used Appraisal on them was probably because his Spirit attribute was higher.

Perhaps the difference in their levels was too great, so he couldn’t hide using Appraisal from them.

Although the assassin had taught him a verbal lesson in front of other people, Su Ce didn’t feel wronged.

After all, in real dungeons, things such as laws and rules that restricted human behavior weren’t effective.

Let alone a verbal lesson, killing and robbing people for a piece of silver-quality equipment were common occurrences in dungeons.

If he could learn these principles today, he wouldn’t offend others in the future. In Su Ce’s opinion, such a rare learning opportunity was not something embarrassing.

The bus was still moving, and there was an endless stream of conversation in his ears.

From the mouths of the surrounding passengers, Su Ce gradually learned a lot of information.

After all, the knowledge in books was limited. If he wanted to really understand something, experiencing it himself was the best way.

Time passed bit by bit, and the scenery outside the window changed from a bustling steel forest to an endless plain.

The fields were green, and the mountains were undulating. The scenery in the suburbs was not only intoxicating, but it could also allow people to temporarily forget their many troubles in the city.

Around seven o’clock, the bus finally stopped at the western suburbs’ mining station.

Many Professionals with the intention of going to the mine alighted one after another, and Su Ce followed the main group to the mine.

Under normal circumstances, only Professionals with relatively tight finances would take a bus to the mine. Most Professionals with good quality of life would choose to drive with fixed party members and set off together.

After walking more than 200 meters on the mountain road and passing through a dense canopy of green leaves, Su Ce immediately saw a gigantic mine not far ahead.

After a long period of excavation, almost half of the two nearby mountains had been dug out.

The exposed area was more than tens of thousands of square meters, and the mine tunnels winding underground like spiderwebs were even more difficult to estimate.

Looking at the enormous quarry in the distance, Su Ce felt something stir in his heart. This is the first time I’ve seen such a large mine. It’s really shocking!

A group of more than ten Professionals quickly arrived at the entrance of the western suburbs mine.

Not only were there abundant mineral resources in this mine, but there were also countless monsters in the underground mine.

In order to prevent these monsters from leaving the mine and causing danger for the surrounding residents, a few decades ago, the experts of Bo’an City had set up a huge barrier here.

The existence of the barrier not only prevented monsters from escaping, but it also protected the safety of the mine from being attacked by monsters that broke through the city wall.

At the only entrance to the mine…

In the spacious registration hall, many people came and went. It was a lively scene.

There were many soldiers in uniform guarding the entrance of the mine.

With the deterrence of these guards, every Professional who entered the mine didn’t dare to attack each other rashly.

Because Su Ce came earlier, not many people had entered the mine yet.

There was no need to line up. Su Ce just handed the admission card to the staff and obtained the qualification to enter the mine.

After passing through the long and narrow corridor, he soon entered the mine.

Looking at the exposed rocks and compacted soil, Su Ce couldn’t help feeling excited.

Outside the mine, there were still many people organizing parties.

Apart from Professionals, there were also many people with life classes and ordinary people who entered the mine.

After all, although mining was very hard work, the money people could earn was better than working outside.

Although the cost of the admission cards accounted for most of the profits from mining, there was still an endless stream of people coming to work in the mine every day.

Most of the people who entered the mine targeted the outer safe area guarded by the garrison.

Most of these places had already been mined, leaving many potholes in the tunnels.

But as long as people scrutinized carefully, they could still find many overlooked ores.

Because the soldiers would clear the monsters that entered the safe area, mining here was very safe.

But behind safety, there were also lower benefits.

Most of the people willing to stay here were people with life classes or ordinary people supporting their families.

After the safe zone was a widespread low-level mining area.

The mineral veins in this area were richer, but because there were low-level monsters active inside, people had to have a certain level of strength to enter.

Under normal circumstances, only Professionals above Level 5 would enter the low-risk activity area.

As for the depths of the mine, it was the most dangerous high-level mining area.

This area had extremely rich deposits of ores, and it was also the main activity area for monsters above Level 10.

Danger represented opportunity at the same time.

But if they wanted to enter, most of the time, Professionals would choose to form parties to enter.

After all, a person’s strength was limited. Unless one was a powerful Professional above Level 18, no one dared to enter alone.

He looked at the Professionals waiting to form parties outside the mine.

Su Ce tightly gripped the pickaxe he had received from the front desk at the entrance and walked into the tunnel with a determined gaze.

The mine path in front of him was very wide.

It was five meters tall, and the width of the main path was about ten meters.

There were many people in the safe mining area.

He could see people with pickaxes everywhere looking for ores.

Because there were mining lamps every ten meters in the mine, there was plenty of light, and it was no different from outside.

Walking on the bumpy ground, Su Ce had no intention of stopping here, so he followed others going deeper into the mine.

Most of the resources in the safe area had already been dug up, and what was left was limited.

Any Professional with decent strength would go to the low-level mining area to take a gamble.

After walking for about five minutes, Su Ce clearly felt that this place was deeper than the entrance.

Not far ahead was a narrow cave entrance.
