Chapter 290: Free Wuwang City

In the end, Azhi learned how to mine.

Of course, it was not Nietzsche who taught me this, but I learned it from a local stonemason.

The stonecutter was from Rongyu Mountain and was hired by Renxinhuadao from Rongyu. The skills he taught were relatively primitive: first use a hammer to hit the chisel attached to the outer wall of the ore to knock off the entire piece of raw stone wrapped in spiritual stone, and then separate the coarse stone and spiritual stone in the raw stone. As a companion ore of spiritual stone, coarse stone accounts for a larger proportion, and often dozens of kilograms of coarse stone can separate one kilogram of rough spiritual stone.

This mining method is relatively inefficient, but it is normal in a world without an industrial base.

The only thing was that the NPCs from Liuhuang and the stonemason could not communicate in the same language, which made Nietzsche and others feel helpless. Fortunately, quarrying and mining are both physical jobs that require physical strength and patience, but the skills are limited. They can be conveyed mostly through body language, so Azhi and others quickly got the hang of it.

Wuwang City has become the second player-built city after Chang'an City that has already shown its scale. After all, Longshan Port and Rongyu City have complicated designs and have not yet been able to show anything. The latter was just built at the same time as Wuwang City, and even the foundation has not been planned. The people in their community are just measuring the dimensions and drawing the lines, as if they are preparing to do something big.

But it was different for Wuwang City. Nietzsche discussed with Ren Xinhuadao and others and decided to sell the land directly at a very low price to attract some people to settle in Wuwang City and quickly build up the scale of Wuwang City.

This method was very effective, and within just half a month, many people came here. However, what really attracted everyone to Wuwang City was that compared to Chang'an City, Wuwang City was more "free".

The Haoqi Changcun Sheyi has very limited manpower. They are not like Wang Ergou and his friends in Chang'an Sheyi, who had the support of the government and could get whatever they wanted. Therefore, there is no security agency in Wuwang City, and no effort has been made to formulate any laws. The most important thing is that you will not be caught doing parkour on the roof and your morality points will not be deducted! Of course, this request came from the obsession of an anonymous member of the Haoqi Changcun Sheyi.

In short, this kind of "freedom" attracted many people. In just half a month, many simple houses were built one after another. Among them were not only many players who were impatient with the rules and regulations of Chang'an City, but also many bold mortals and monks who wanted to get rich.

Therefore, in just half a month, the number of NPCs living in Wuwang City has reached several hundred!

This brings us to the question of how players like Nietzsche, who have great moral integrity, made their fortune.

Although Nietzsche and others learned that there were many mineral veins near Wuwang City, the first batch to be mined was of course the Lingshi Mine. This Lingshi vein was rich in minerals and was easy to mine, without even drilling, and the output was relatively considerable.

The crude spirit stones mined locally can also be used as currency. At least the Fu Lu Shou Chamber of Commerce accepts them, but the value is slightly lower.

Despite this, the initial dozen or so NPCs who were not very skilled could mine hundreds of kilograms of crude spirit stones a day, and the accompanying crude ore was much, reaching several thousand kilograms!

You know, the mass of a unit of spiritual stone is only a few taels! Even if the value of hundreds of kilograms of spiritual stone is slightly lower because it is a crude spiritual stone, it is enough to make everyone in the Haoqi Changcun Sheyi suddenly rich!

After making their first pot of gold, Nietzsche and others immediately decided to hire more NPCs to mine spirit stones and other ores. This is how Wuwang City came to have more than a hundred miners in just half a month.

As the number of miners increased, other industries also increased, such as various food stalls, tailor shops, and blacksmith shops. Many bold NPCs who had envied the others and made their fortunes in Chang'an City formed gangs and came to Wuwang City.

Wuwang City is an underground city with a harsh environment. Mortals living there for a long time must wear the Five Thunder Talisman at all times. But there are many jobs to be found here, whether mining or doing small business. Unlike Chang'an City, the market share has long been saturated.

Nietzsche and others had never expected the prosperity of Wuwang City. They could only hurriedly copy many designs of Chang'an City and suspended the reclamation of the Shiwan Mountains. Instead, they decided to deal with the reclamation of the Haoqi League's Dongtian small world first.

Strictly speaking, the underground world where Wuwang City is located does not even account for the area of ​​this small world of cave heaven. It is really pitifully small. There are countless mountains, rivers, and trees outside.

Therefore, after Nietzsche got things roughly on track in Wuwang City, he formed a pioneering team with the members of Sheyi and was enthusiastically pioneering this small world.

Because this small cave world already belonged to the Haoqi Changcun community, no one was cautious about exploring the way or staying behind. The large group was divided into four teams by Nietzsche, and they ran out in the direction of the four altars as usual.

Some of the people led by Nietzsche himself were heading in the direction of the altar that they had discovered themselves.

After flying for more than ten minutes, they saw a new scene, which was a huge building site.

"Wow……"

Everyone was shocked by this magnificent and regretful scene - looking from the air, the main buildings of the entire complex were spread out in the shape of a yin-yang fish, with a string of tall stone pillars surrounding a semicircle on the outside, each with strange symbols engraved on it. These stone pillars were exactly the same as the broken stone pillars that the players saw when they first entered this small world.

The reason why we can be sure that this is a ruins is that the buildings in the distance are almost all in ruins, and their style seems to be quite similar to that of the stone pillars at the entrance. It seems that they were built by the same group - at least the same civilization.

The collapsed stone houses, broken stone pillars, and broken tiles on the ground all tell of the horrible things that happened here.

The entire site was empty and there were no corpses. Between the houses there were only knee-high weeds and shrubs, and various trees that grew in the gaps for unknown reasons.

"Everyone be careful."

Nietzsche gave instructions in Tuanmai and carefully blazed the trail ahead.

The ruins were too quiet, with no birds singing or insects chirping.

When the four altars were discovered, only the altar on the other side of the river had a relatively normal environment, and it was said that birds were seen flying normally in the sky.

But the other altars were not so lucky. Each one was discovered to be more bizarre than the last. This feeling of déjà vu made Nietzsche tense up and almost keep his eyes and ears open.

The players were walking when suddenly, several vines emerged from the ground in front of them. They looked somewhat familiar!
