Farming Games are All About Grinding-Chapter 278 - 270: Potential Is Stimulated

Han Qiwu took the cable car straight to the 60th floor of the mine.

After arriving at the 60th floor of the mine, he quickly scanned the riverbank but saw nothing noteworthy before heading straight into the staircase.

[You’ve entered the 61st floor of the mine]

As soon as he stepped in, Han Qiwu spotted five or six snow monsters nearby, busy throwing snowballs.

"Xiao Lai, Xiao Dian, hold off for now," Han Qiwu said, switching to his Mystical Light Crossbow. He pulled out a Dream Elixir and applied it to the fishbone arrow quiver with a click.

Instantly, one-third of the Dream Elixir was consumed, and a greenish glow enveloped the fishbone arrow quiver, along with the arrows inside.

After loading up a crossbow arrow, Han Qiwu aimed at a snow monster passing a snowball and pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh!"

The crossbow arrow struck the snow monster’s head directly, turning it into white light.

"That’s it?"

Too weak! This won’t demonstrate the effect well; might as well eliminate them outright.

Han Qiwu switched to his Ice Club and charged directly at the snow monsters.

"Boom-boom-boom!"

With the weapon’s bonus from Planetary Explosion doubling its attack power, Han Qiwu was practically smashing one snow monster per swing, quickly taking them all down.

"If I get rich someday, I’ll drink this stuff often," Han Qiwu thought as he dashed through the other tunnels in his flip-flops, determined to smash as many snow monsters as possible before Planetary Explosion’s effect wore off.

Five minutes later, Han Qiwu happily picked up the snow monster loot scattered on the ground. He had already figured it out—the Dream Elixir triggered its effects in sequence: paralysis first, then hallucination. Combined, these effects provided a surprisingly long control duration.

Seeing that there were no snow monsters around, Han Qiwu put on his miner’s helmet, placed the Snowman Miner figurine on the ground, then switched to his Copper Mother Crosspick and started hammering away at the nearby ore nodes.

"Bang-bang-bang!"

Han Qiwu noticed that as the Copper Mother Crosspick struck down, his arm noticeably felt a burst of support.

This was likely the reason for the reduced number of strikes required.

After some calculations, whether it was digging emerald ore nodes or iron ore nodes, the required strikes had decreased compared to before, and his stamina was also less drained.

"Looks like the miner’s helmet’s practical effects are even better than its stats," Han Qiwu thought with satisfaction, greedily imagining how great it would be if this effect could extend to the Snowman Miner figurine.

With the snow monster loot containing Snowman Essence, the figurine’s mining speed had become faster than Han Qiwu’s upgraded pick, and it didn’t consume stamina.

[You’ve discovered a staircase]

"Lucky day, huh?" Han Qiwu muttered in surprise, picking up Xiao Lai, who was gnawing on rocks, and dragging Xiao Dian, who was curiously examining his surroundings, toward the staircase.

[You’ve entered the 62nd floor of the mine]

As his vision recovered, Han Qiwu found himself in a snowy corridor with traces of harvested ice mushrooms nearby. Fresh, chaotic footprints littered the ground.

"You two quiet down. We might’ve wandered into someone’s nest," Han Qiwu said cautiously as he held the remaining one-third of the Dream Elixir in hand and stepped slowly toward the corridor exit.

"Wai-bi-Ba-Bo."

"Ji-gu-Li-Do."

The closer he got to the corridor exit, the more frequently he heard the strange calls of snow monsters.

Han Qiwu picked up his pace, approaching the corridor’s opening carefully, using the nearby ice layers to reflect the scene ahead.

One glance had him nearly jump out of his skin.

Nearly forty snow monsters crowded around a patch of ore nodes, looking like they were enjoying a meal. freёwebnoѵel.com

"Did I accidentally stumble into their cafeteria?" Han Qiwu initially considered turning around to check another direction, but he quickly noticed fleeting glimmers coming from the ore nodes.

"Glowing ore nodes?"

To be honest, Han Qiwu was tempted.

It was his first time seeing glowing ore nodes in the mine layers.

What if they yielded high-quality silver ore?

He just happened to have a Dream Elixir on hand and two helpers nearby.

Should he give it a shot?

"Let’s do it!"

Seeing his master brimming with eagerness, Xiao Dian shrank back nervously.

What kind of joke was this? So many ugly creatures—how would they fight them?

Before Xiao Dian could convey his concerns to Han Qiwu—

Han Qiwu hurled both the Dream Elixir and Xiao Dian toward the snow monster horde with all his might.

Xiao Dian: "???????"

Leaving Han Qiwu’s grasp, Xiao Dian immediately flapped his wings furiously, flying toward the ice layers above.

No way would he fall for this trap! He was just a tiny, tiny bird!

So many snow monsters! How could he possibly fight them?

Meanwhile, the Dream Elixir smashed into the ground hard under Han Qiwu’s strength, instantly exploding into a green mist that covered a 6×6 area, enveloping all the snow monsters.

In less than half a second, the snow monsters froze in place as if someone had hit a pause button.

The paralysis effect had kicked in.

"Xiao Lai, Xiao Dian, let’s go!" shouted Han Qiwu, drawing his Ice Club and charging forward.

Perched on his shoulder obediently, Xiao Lai spat poisonous mist ahead, inflicting waves of sustained damage.

As for Xiao Dian, he clung stubbornly to the ice layers above, refusing to come down, his little eyes darting nervously.

After smashing snow monsters for about ten seconds, Han Qiwu realized Xiao Dian was slacking off. He looked up and yelled, "What are you afraid of? They’re all under control! Get down here and zap them!"

Hearing the command, Xiao Dian begrudgingly fluttered down, zapping a snow monster here and there in a lazy, half-hearted manner.

Han Qiwu chose not to comment, continuing to bash the surrounding snow monsters with his Ice Club.

A few dozen seconds later, the paralysis effect wore off, and the hallucination effect kicked in. One by one, the snow monsters began fighting each other.

Han Qiwu, worried about getting caught in the crossfire, quickly jumped out of the melee, switched to his Mystical Light Crossbow, loaded a Mystical Bolt, and shot at the largest snow monster in the group.

"Boom!"

The snow monster’s head displayed a "Armor Penetration" marker, but before it could react, a nearby snow monster helpfully delivered a finishing blow, sending it home.

"What a considerate fellow," Han Qiwu remarked, his peripheral vision catching Xiao Dian lazily coasting along. He grew increasingly annoyed.

"They say potential is unlocked through stimulation. Xiao Dian’s been too dormant for too long—it’s time to push him," Han Qiwu thought, switching to a fishbone arrow and aiming at Xiao Dian’s tail.

With the hallucination effect still lasting for more than twenty seconds, it shouldn’t be fatal.

"Whoosh!"

The fishbone arrow hit Xiao Dian’s tail with precision.

Although the damage area was small and not particularly painful, the attached Dream Elixir effect immediately triggered!

Still gleefully lazing about, Xiao Dian suddenly plummeted into the snow monster horde.

While his body was paralyzed, his mind remained conscious.

"Holy crap!!!"

"Master, are you serious?! That harsh?!"

Han Qiwu flashed an apologetic smile and shouted, "Sorry, Xiao Dian, my hand slipped! Are you okay? There are too many snow monsters—I can’t get through! Hang in there and fly up!"

Xiao Dian: "???????"

How the heck am I supposed to fly?!

One second of paralysis passed before the 0.5-second hallucination effect triggered for Xiao Dian.

In his perception, every snow monster was now a terrifying bug he had eaten before, angrily seeking revenge.

The scene was akin to chicken drumsticks, steaks, and noodles mounting a vengeful charge against humanity.

"Chirp-chirp-screech-screech-screech!!!"

Xiao Dian screamed in terror while retreating frantically.

His growing fear fueled an explosion of pent-up energy!

Half a second later—

"Ahhhhhh!!!!"

Regaining mobility, Xiao Dian launched himself upward from the ground, unleashing massive golden bolts of electricity all around.

[Tens of thousands of volts]

Zzzzzzzaaappp!!!
