Chapter 43: 043 Side Profession

Looking at the numbers displayed in front of him, Zhang Bei's face immediately darkened.

【Current critical multiplier: nine!】

White light immediately shrouded his body, but there was no severe pain like before.

After so many enhancements, Zhang Bei's body now exceeded that of an ordinary person by several times.

With only nine enhancements, it was just an increase in body density.

Everyone's enhancement ended, the dungeon closed, and everyone returned to the foot of the mountain again.

Everyone could only participate in the dungeon once a day, and Zhang Bei's count for today had been used up.

He handed a longbow and the wild boar's crystal core to the second group.

After informing them of the method of use, Zhang Bei stood to the side.

Xiao Cheng looked at the longbow and swallowed his saliva: "Boss, are there any more? I want one too!"

Zhang Bei narrowed his eyes: "Want one?"

Xiao Cheng nodded hurriedly; this was a level fifteen weapon.

Although the attached skill was a bit spendthrift, as long as it was operated well, it was not impossible to earn back the cost.

"I remember your punishment hasn't been finished yet, right?"

Hearing Zhang Bei's voice, Xiao Cheng's smiling face immediately stiffened.

Last night, he was busy drinking with the captains and forgot about this matter completely.

Zhang Bei patted him on the shoulder and took out six longbows and placed them in front of him.

"You and the captains of the groups, one each, hunt the crystal cores yourselves!"

Xiao Cheng's eyes stared closely at the red longbow; let alone hunting the crystal cores himself.

Even if he had to hand over a portion, it would be fine!

Taking out the longbows was also to get away.

"Then I'll leave this place to you, I'm leaving first."

As the words fell, his body turned into a white light and disappeared from the spot.

When he appeared again, he had returned to the Teleportation Point of the settlement.

The entire settlement was full of people, lively and incomparable.

Daniu was taking a group of people to select members for the City Defense Squad.

When this batch of people was selected, it would be the time to establish Sharp Blade.

Zhang Bei didn't disturb Daniu and walked back toward his small building.

Now everything was on the right track, as long as no accidents happened.

The strength of everyone would steadily improve to cope with the next difficulty upgrade.

For the next few days, Zhang Bei successfully entered the Salted Fish Mode, taking Jin Xin and others to clear the dungeon once a day.

Most of the remaining time was spent in the small building, researching Supernatural Items.

After these few days of research, Zhang Bei also successfully found the usage of two items.

The first was a small thing similar to a guide.

It could find mineral veins buried underground.

The second was a coffin the size of a palm.

Placing a crystal core without energy in it could slowly recharge it.

It's just that Zhang Bei estimated it.

If he wanted to fill a level ten crystal core, it would probably take a full thirty days.

Today is the thirty-seventh day of Ice Age survival, and Zhang Bei finally ended his salted fish life.

The cause came from a notification on his watch.

【Side profession has been opened, please explore it yourselves, players.】

Looking at the map in his hand, Zhang Bei walked toward a mineral vein he had discovered before.

According to Jin Xin's analysis, the whole world was gradually approaching a game.

Then one point could be certain: side professions like blacksmith were most likely in the mineral veins.

And the live broadcast room at this time also became lively when they saw Zhang Bei walking on the road.

Wu Yingcai: 【Yo, the old salted fish finally knows how to go out?】

Niu Xuanming: 【Is this a salted fish turning over?】

Ye Fan: 【Salted Fish Bei, what activity is it today?】

For the past few days, Zhang Bei had spent most of his time chatting with the audience in the live broadcast room.

While others were busy, he successfully obtained the title of Salted Fish.

However, the chats over the past few days also obtained the information Zhang Bei wanted.

The first is about this live broadcast.

Now most people don't pay much attention to this point.

The vast majority didn't open the barrage chat.

The form of the live broadcast also changed from the initial light screen to being able to be called out and watched anytime, anywhere.

The second is the population problem; according to statistics, there were nearly one hundred thousand people who came to the Ice Age this time.

And there is another continent in the Ice Age.

Various people live there: white people, black people, and a portion of yellow people.

However, because the number of Chinese people there is too small, they have always been excluded.

Even so, there are still people who can't get enough to eat to this day.

Zhang Bei also decided that if there was a chance, he must go to that continent and bring these people back.

The distance from the settlement to the mineral vein was not very far; in about an hour, Zhang Bei stopped.

He frowned as he looked at the cave in front of him.

The entire mineral vein was in the first underground karst cave.

This cave was the entrance to this karst cave.

He sighed, put away the map, and drilled into the karst cave.

The karst cave was more like a tunnel.

On the surrounding walls, a kind of unknown stone grew, emitting a faint white light.

Qiu Xingwen: 【Holy crap, is this grave robbing?】

Li Qinqin: 【Fart, this is the mineral vein discovered a few days ago!】

Niu Xuanming: 【So today is to check the specific situation?】

Zhang Bei's footsteps in the tunnel suddenly paused.

The long sword in his hand stabbed toward the wall on the side.

A black scorpion was immediately cut into two halves and fell to the ground.

The scorpion was only the size of a palm, but the toxins in its body were very terrifying.

When Daniu took people to explore here, it was because of this scorpion.

A full three people lost their lives!

Zhang Bei was very careful with every step that followed, and the long sword swept past from time to time.

The carcasses of scorpions constantly appeared on the ground.

This was also the reason why Zhang Bei didn't want to come in.

This kind of insect-like creature didn't provide crystal cores, and it was easy to get hit in such a place if one was not careful.

The tunnel of less than one hundred meters took a full hour and a half to walk.

The space in front of him finally opened up.

Qiu Xingwen: 【Walk dozens of steps, and it suddenly opens up?】

Li Qinqin: 【Good fellow, do you think this is Peach Blossom Spring?】

Ye Fan: 【Holy crap, what is that?】

What surprised the live broadcast room was the creature in front of Zhang Bei.

In appearance, it looked like a snake five meters long.

It's just that a pair of bone wings grew on the snake's body, and mucus was dripping from them.

Zhang Bei's figure retreated a few steps, and the long sword immediately turned into a longbow.

A pale blue crystal core was placed on it in the blink of an eye.

The energy arrow shot out instantly.

This energy arrow didn't explode; it froze everything around it the moment it made contact.

Zhang Bei breathed a sigh of relief, shook it lightly, and the entire snake shattered.

Niu Xuanming: 【Damn, is it necessary to be so careful?】

Li Qinqin: 【Why did your courage become smaller after being a salted fish for a few days?】

Ye Fan: 【Brother Bei's strength now wouldn't be afraid of a poisonous snake, right?】

He picked up the crystal core, looked up at the live broadcast room, and immediately gave a sideways glance.

He opened his mouth to explain.

"Classic of Mountains and Seas, Eastern Wilderness Classic has a record.

This thing is called a Ming Snake, it contains highly toxic poison, and just one drop is enough to make an elephant rot." ===== CHAPTER 44 =====
