Chapter 583: Calculation Method for Miner

"You understand the general situation, right?" Kuai Yan looked at Ye Lin and asked.

"I understand."

Ye Lin nodded.

Changsheng Continent was the world Fan Xiu had spoken of.

The general situation was that, in an unconscious state, the Chaos Laws he had understood had polluted Changsheng Continent, causing a gap to appear in Changsheng Continent and entering the Age of Dharma Decline.

And he had also slept for a thousand years, eating his own bitter fruit, and was now dragged to Lingquan County to dig mines as a miner.

"Alright, if there are no other questions, then pack up and let's go dig mines together. I see your body is quite good; it should be a special constitution. The salary you can get for digging mines like this is much higher than others."

"A normal ascender can only get 8–12 Immortal Source Stones for digging mines a month. If you work hard, you should be able to get 15!"

Kuai Yan brought a pickaxe and handed it to Ye Lin.

"By the way, Brother Kuai Yan, if I want to reshape my body, how many Immortal Source Stones do I need?" Ye Lin took the pickaxe and asked.

"I knew you would ask this."

A meaningful smile appeared on Kuai Yan's face, and then he raised a finger.

"One hundred."

"One hundred? That shouldn't be hard to save."

Ye Lin estimated it; if that was the case, he would probably need 7 months to save enough Immortal Source Stones to reshape his body. When that time came, it would be like a bird flying high.

Kuai Yan grinned.

"It is one hundred, that's true, but it's one hundred top-grade Immortal Source Stones. We get paid in low-grade Immortal Source Stones."

"One hundred top-grade Immortal Source Stones equals ten thousand mid-grade Immortal Source Stones... equals one hundred million low-grade Immortal Source Stones!"

Hearing this, Ye Lin fainted on the spot.

Digging mines for a month, calculated at 15 low-grade Immortal Source Stones, he would have to dig mines here for six thousand six hundred and sixty-six years—truly 6666.

Was this the life a human lived?

Seeing this, Kuai Yan hurriedly pressed Ye Lin's philtrum.

"Brother Ye Lin, cheer up!"

"I can't cheer up at all; let me die." Ye Lin felt like he had lost all his strength and means just by hearing it.

"Don't be like that. Apart from digging mines, there will be other income. For example, when you are wandering around the mining area, sometimes if you are lucky, you will pick up ascenders. Pick up an ascender and bring them back, and you can get ten low-grade Immortal Source Stones!"

Kuai Yan explained; Ye Lin was the one he had picked up.

"Pick them up and bring them back to be cattle and horses, right?" Ye Lin's mouth twitched.

"Of course not, this is doing a good deed. If you don't pick them up, they might just die outside." Kuai Yan explained.

"I think... they might not be unwilling to die." Ye Lin said.

"Oh, cheer up! As long as you are alive, there is still hope. Apart from picking up ascenders, there are many other ways to obtain Immortal Source Stones. For example, if an ascender wants to escape and you report it, there is a reward of fifty low-grade Immortal Source Stones!"

Kuai Yan comforted Ye Lin.

"As long as you can live, maybe you can really save enough Immortal Source Stones one day and turn the tables?"

"If I remember correctly, Brother Kuai Yan, you just said that cultivation also requires Immortal Source Stones? Then after saving enough Immortal Source Stones to reshape the body, what about cultivation?"

Ye Lin began to count on his fingers.

"And various daily activities, including maintaining life, should also consume Immortal Source Stones, right? This also means that Immortal Source Stones are not saved as much as they are earned."

"So the probability of turning the tables... is too small. Most likely, you will just dig mines here for a lifetime, and then achieve nothing until your lifespan is exhausted."

Kuai Yan was silent; reminded by Ye Lin, he also didn't want to live a little.

While speaking, the two had already arrived at the northern mining vein of the 81st mining area, where they could see many figures digging mines diligently.

"Old Kuai, you're here? Yo! You even brought a newcomer today!" A man covered in sweat turned his head and greeted with a smile.

"Yeah, just picked him up today, lucky."

Kuai Yan grinned; he clearly had quite a good popularity here, and people kept greeting him.

Kuai Yan responded while introducing these fellow workers to Ye Lin.

"His name is Lin Cai, innate Savage Bull Body, immense strength, a good hand at digging mines."

"His name is Wen Jin, Tyrant Demon Body, his monthly salary for digging mines is as high as 18 low-grade Immortal Source Stones!"

"Her name is Liu Ruyan. Don't look at her as a woman; she came earlier than me, having stayed here for at least 500 years. Moreover, she privately does some flesh business; it is said that she will soon save enough Immortal Source Stones to reshape her body."

Ye Lin looked in the direction of the sound and found that the woman Kuai Yan was talking about had an extremely proud figure; although there was some dust on that face, it couldn't hide her clear and beautiful temperament.

"Alas, originally, a beautiful female ascender like her would have a chance to be favored and avoid the fate of being a laborer, but it's a pity she offended the Team Leader." Kuai Yan shook his head with regret.

"The Team Leader is the youth from just now?" Ye Lin asked.

"Hmm, his name is Qiu Weizhi. You better be low-key next; offend him, and there will be no good days!" Kuai Yan reminded him, then swung the pickaxe and smashed it heavily toward the ore in front of him.

The sound of clanging rang out incessantly, the pickaxe landing on the ore, splashing a series of sparks, and stone fragments flying.

Ye Lin picked up the pickaxe to check it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

The quality of this pickaxe, if placed in the world he was in before, could almost be called a divine artifact.

Their divine artifacts were just pickaxes used for digging mines on Changsheng Continent.

Ye Lin suddenly understood what kind of mood Loki was in when he saw a drawer of Infinity Stones; the collapse of the worldview happened in an instant.

A week's worth of rations for an ant colony might just be the bread crumbs we throw away casually.

The goddess you regard as a treasure, but cannot reach, might just be a human-shaped container to others.

"Goods are out!"

Kuai Yan revealed a look of surprise.

A crack appeared on the ore in front of him, and warm light accompanied by rich energy permeated from the crack.

Ye Lin felt this energy was somewhat familiar; he suddenly remembered that when he first opened the space channel to Changsheng Continent, the energy that made him feel extremely comfortable was of the same origin as this energy.

Kuai Yan carefully expanded the crack and finally dug out a stone the size of a human head.

The stone was crystal clear, emitting a faint fluorescence, and a strange energy was surging inside.

"Is this an Immortal Source Stone?" Ye Lin asked.

"Yes, and no. This thing is an Immortal Source Ore; it has to be processed and refined to remove impurities, then cut into the same size, before it is the Immortal Source Stone we are familiar with." Kuai Yan began to explain.

The other fellow workers saw Kuai Yan dig out such a large piece of Immortal Source Ore, and they couldn't help but reveal expressions of envy.

Kuai Yan was also in a great mood, and he talked a lot more.

"Our miner's salary is calculated based on the weight of the Immortal Source Ore."

"Digging enough 1,000 kilograms of Immortal Source Ore every month can get the basic salary of 8 low-grade Immortal Source Stones. If you don't dig enough 1,000 kilograms, you can also get the no-responsibility base salary of 3 low-grade Immortal Source Stones."

"And for the part exceeding 1,000 kilograms, it is calculated according to performance salary; for every 100 kilograms of Immortal Source Ore dug, one more low-grade Immortal Source Stone is issued, with no cap!" ===== CHAPTER 584 =====

"As for the portion exceeding one thousand kilograms, it will be calculated based on performance wages. For every additional one hundred kilograms of Immortal Source ore mined, one additional low-grade Immortal Source stone will be issued, with no upper limit!"
