Farming Games are All About Grinding-Chapter 583 - 570 Iridium Gold Slime! 5 Colored Fragments!

After buying supplies, the two split up. Tang Qingying stayed back at home to research genes, while Han Qiwu headed to the mine with Little Spark and Xiao Lai.

Time to dig some rocks!

Upon reaching the first level of the mine, Han Qiwu didn't even let Little Spark pick up coal, waving a hand grandly to lead them straight toward the Endless Mine.

Even Little Spark, who usually cherished its claws, couldn't help but give its master a thumbs-up.

If it had known its master would be so considerate today, it wouldn't have bothered washing off the claw-protecting oil before heading out.

It was all Little Lei's fault, claiming it discharges electricity every day and its claws are getting rough.

This is the romance of male birds!

Humph!

[You've entered the Endless Mine, Level 1]

Upon entering the Endless Mine, Han Qiwu didn't waste any time and directly used up all fifty ladders at once.

[You've reached the Endless Mine, Level 51]

Once his vision recovered, Han Qiwu cautiously leaned against the mine wall to observe the surroundings.

Compared to the previous levels, the rock walls around Level 50 and beyond were a dark yellow color, giving off a profound, earthy vibe.

Suddenly, a familiar sound echoed from the corner of the mine ahead.

"Squelch squelch squelch."

Following the sound, he saw five or six Iridium Gold Slimes shimmering with a unique rainbow-colored glow hopping toward him.

And behind them, a swarm of normal-sized spiders also glowing with rainbow hues followed closely, crawling quickly across the mine's ceiling.

"Rustle rustle rustle."

Naturally, as he spotted these mine creatures, Han Qiwu also noticed several Iridium Gold and Gold mining points nearby. Judging by the shiny gleam of the Iridium Gold deposits, their quality seemed pretty good.

After tossing out a Snowman Mine figurine, Han Qiwu called out Little Cold, Little Spark, and Xiao Lai, positioning them around the area.

"Time to get to work!"

After the prompt, he observed the movement patterns of the Iridium Gold Slimes and first threw a blue fireball toward them.

"Boom!"

The blue fireball struck the Slimes, sending up a puff of smoke.

But once the smoke dissipated, Han Qiwu realized the Slimes were entirely unharmed.

On the contrary, a few spiders caught in the fireball's residual flames appeared injured.

[Iridium Gold Spider]

[Level: 153]

[Attack Method: Iridium Gold Spider Silk]

[Remark: There are a lot of Iridium Gold Spiders.]

"What's going on?" Han Qiwu directed Xiao Lai to cast a slow debuff on the Iridium Gold Spiders while stepping onto Flaming Wheels to charge at the Slimes, intending to slash one for a closer look at its stats.

Realizing his master's intentions, Xiao Lai planted its hands on its hips and spit a mouthful of light purple venom onto Han Qiwu's ice sword.

[Your pet Xiao Lai has applied a venom enhancement to your ice sword.]

[Venom Effect: Reduces enemy attack speed by 30% and movement speed by 50% after dealing damage. Effects are non-stackable.]

"Great stuff! Good job, Xiao Lai." Han Qiwu was delighted and, playing it safe, sliced at the Slime with a life-severing slash.

The damage numbers, combined with the venom debuff, floated in mid-air—five digits.

It worked!

[Iridium Gold Slime]

[Level: 160]

[Attack Method: Collision]

[Trait – Solo Duel: Immune to area damage]

[Remark: Iridium Gold Slimes stash many treasures in their large bellies.]

"Solo Duel? This Iridium Gold Slime is such a hypocrite. You guys can gang up on me with a bunch of Slimes, but I can't use area damage against you?" Han Qiwu felt annoyed at the stats.

The nearby Iridium Gold Slimes couldn't care less about Han Qiwu's frustration. They all charged at him belly-first.

Holding his ice sword horizontally, Han Qiwu quickly slashed out in a zig-zag pattern, applying a slow debuff to all seven Iridium Gold Slimes.

"Thud."

Unexpectedly, another Iridium Gold Slime appeared out of nowhere, colliding directly into Han Qiwu's back as he stopped to catch his breath.

-50.

Han Qiwu instantly lost a chunk of his health bar.

Fortunately, it wasn't painful.

"So aggressive?" Han Qiwu heightened his alertness, popped a strawberry into his mouth, and continued leveraging the reach of his sword and the venomous slow effect to kite the Iridium Gold Slimes.

Meanwhile, on the secondary battlefield, Xiao Lai and Little Spark were skillfully annihilating the Iridium Gold Spiders.

Flying freely in the air, Little Spark used its speed to effortlessly dodge the rainbow-colored Iridium Gold spider silk coming its way.

Although the silk was exceptionally durable, its stickiness was much weaker than regular spider silk, making it impossible to turn the mine into a Silk Cave-like environment.

Ten minutes later, both battles concluded.

Han Qiwu waved his hand to summon Xiao Lai and Little Spark, handed them some supplies, and let out a long sigh of relief, taking out a pouch of frozen tree sap to drink.

It was lucky Mr. Tang had helped expand his inventory by dozens of slots last time; otherwise, the supplies might not have been enough.

He had consumed over 500 stamina just to deal with those Iridium Gold Slimes.

The combat intensity in the Endless Mine was genuinely overwhelming.

After resting for a bit, he laughed and stood up, venturing toward the battlefield.

Time for the spoils!

After circling around, his magnetic ring automatically attracted nearly twenty glowing items.

"What a haul. These big bellies can sure hide stuff." Han Qiwu opened his storage slots to inspect.

The first item was an oval-shaped five-colored candy-like object, with faint cracks visible along the edges upon closer inspection.

[Five-Colored Shard]

[Usage: Crafting Material]

[Selling Price: 5000 Gold]

[Remark: This is an exceptionally rare and precious material.]

"Five thousand gold? So valuable?" Han Qiwu's eyes lit up immediately.

And this was just crafting material.

If one could craft items using this, imagine how powerful they could be.

If only he could forge a laser sword—then he could simply sweep through these mine creatures with laser beams.

Continuing his inspection, he discovered three familiar items.

[Sunlight Essence]

Apart from the above haul, the eight Iridium Gold Slimes also yielded 12 Iridium Gold ores.

As for the swarm of Iridium Gold Spiders, they dropped [Sunlight Essence]×2, [Iridium Gold Ore]×6, and [Iridium Gold Spider Silk Spool]×20.

[Iridium Gold Spider Silk Spool]

[Usage: Crafting Material]

[Special Effect – Resilience: Iridium Gold Spider Silk's low stickiness but high durability makes it suitable for combat.]

[Remark: It can also be used to make clothing.]

"Spider silk for clothing? Would it even keep you warm? Let's try improving combat capabilities instead." Han Qiwu chuckled and called over Little Cold, experimentally fastening the spools around it.

Luckily, Master Shuzi had pre-designed extra slots for spider silk, so after fiddling for ten minutes, he managed to attach them successfully.

[Your giant ice-cold spider figurine has acquired new abilities: Silk Spraying and upgraded Death Piercing to Death Spider Silk Piercing.]

"Unexpected rewards?" Han Qiwu couldn't hide his excitement. Glancing at the newly-emerged Iridium Gold Spiders in the mine, he waved decisively, "Take them out!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."

Dozens of rainbow-colored spider silk strands shot from Little Cold's mouth, traversing dozens of meters to precisely pierce the Iridium Gold Spiders, instantly reducing them to white light and obliterating them.

One-hit KO!

"Tsk tsk, Iridium Gold Spiders—this spider silk is completely wasted on you."
