[A Cold Cage for the Soul]
【Props】
[Level: Perfect]
[Note: This item, crafted using special secret techniques, can imprison a soul within it. The imprisoned soul will never be freed unless it dies.]
Status: Unowned
...
Judging from the description alone, the Lich Soul Box seems more like a torture device used to torment people.
Immortal.
It's just a side effect of the soul being imprisoned in the soul box...
Perhaps this is indeed the case. Once bound to the Soul Box, they cannot even control their own freedom of living, and are bound to the control of the Soul Box for life.
Even so, many people are still attracted to it.
Liches are not only very difficult to kill.
They also have an extremely long lifespan.
They are truly immortal beings, capable of living for thousands of years. Compared to that, mere freedom is not something that cannot be given up.
Su Bai moved very carefully, as the method for crafting the Lich Soul Box was suspected to have been lost.
Each well-preserved soul box is a rare treasure.
He couldn't bear to destroy it.
What's in front of us must be the remnant of a dead lich that the player found.
He looked at the soul box in front of him, which had returned to its ownerless state.
Su Bai thought to himself, "If I were to sell this, those old fogies nearing the end of their lives would probably be willing to trade half a city for it..."
"...Of course, it's more likely they'll just take action and rob it."
"It might even attract the attention of the court."
"This item is a prohibited item and can only be traded through gray market channels. You can't protect it without some real power."
"I'll keep it for myself."
"Just in case... it can serve as a fallback plan."
He put the soul box away.
After searching the territory again, Su Bai quickly discovered that in addition to the resources needed for the development of the undead, there were also many crystal ores in his territory.
[Contaminated crystalline ore]
【Material】
[Level: Normal]
[Note: This energy crystal, formed over a long period of time, can be refined into pure energy crystals. However, due to long-term exposure to deathly pollution, it also carries a certain degree of pollution itself, and contact with it may be harmful to living organisms.]
Purity: 62%
...
The so-called raw ore.
It refers to raw materials that have just been mined and have not yet undergone further refining and processing.
These grayish-white crystals were covered by a thick stone shell, which was inlaid with many smaller crystal fragments. Such precious things were simply piled up in simple bamboo baskets in his warehouse.
He immediately went to the open cave behind the territory to confirm.
Those luminous crystals embedded in the cave walls are nothing more than energy crystals waiting to be mined.
"Sure enough, this area is overflowing with crystal resources!"
Su Bai's heart fluttered.
In the game, the determination of whether a mine is worth mining is usually based on the purity of the first batch of raw ore mined.
And the purity of the ore.
It refers to the percentage of useful components that can be retained after refining the raw ore.
Generally speaking.
A typical metal ore vein with a purity of 20 is already considered a rich mine.
However, this standard can vary depending on the material.
For example, gold mines.
Mining is worthwhile if the purity reaches 3 or higher, and if it reaches 5, it is a pure rich mine and will be controlled by the kingdom to which it belongs immediately.
Crystal minerals naturally possess cohesive properties, and their purity is often several times higher than that of other types of minerals.
The average purity of the raw ore must reach at least 50 points to be rated as a rich ore.
The highest quality mineral veins can even reach 80 or more.
Purity also represents quantity.
For veins with high purity of raw ore, the total content will certainly not be low.
The crystal raw materials he saw in the warehouse earlier had a purity of at least 60%.
This shows that...
What lay before him was an absolute goldmine!
This glimpse reveals just how astonishing the crystal reserves are in the entire eastern region.
He did not actively search for traces of crystal veins on this trip.
But unexpectedly, it worked out perfectly.
This undead player's territory happened to be located inside a natural mine!
However, Su Bai did not believe that this was due to his good luck. A better explanation was that the underground crystal reserves in the entire eastern region had reached an extremely high level.
Just dig a hole randomly.
Two pieces of high-purity crystal ore can be mined from each one!
"Now we won't have to worry about energy reserves... However, how to mine this vein is a big problem."
Su Bai then thought of something else.
Undead lords can mine using summoned skeleton laborers.
Although their mining efficiency is low, the advantage of undead units is that they are tireless and can work 24 hours a day, which can make up for the lack of mining efficiency.
Of course, that's all he can do; he can only go as far as mining.
The Undead's technology tree is not sufficient to support his current refining of raw crystal ore.
Even humans.
Energy-related technologies can only be unlocked after the territory is upgraded to town level.
He probably intended to sell this batch of crystal raw materials, but now he's gotten a good deal.
However, he needs to consider a proper plan for how to proceed with subsequent mining.
It's more than ten kilometers away from Baidi Town.
There were no giant wolves traveling.
It takes seven or eight hours just to walk here.
