Farming Games are All About Grinding-Chapter 591 - 578: Iridium Gold Crab! Ice Sword Emergence! (Thanks to the Book Friend 2018... for the generous reward!)
Tang Qingying, lazily getting out of bed, rushed over in surprise when she saw the scene and stared at it for a while before reaching out to touch the flame on Han Qiwu's hand.
"Careful." Han Qiwu instinctively tried to extinguish the flame.
But the next second, he found there was no need.
Tang Qingying's hand carried frost, and with a forceful touch, she extinguished the flame in her own hand.
"Man! You're playing with fire!" Tang Qingying looked at Han Qiwu with a cold face.
Han Qiwu immediately played along, pointing at her in surprise, "Woman! Why do you have ice?"
Tang Qingying, catching the implied meaning, snorted, "I won't bother with you!"
"No, no, no, just teasing you, let's not play with puns, don't overthink." Han Qiwu quickly coaxed, casually bringing breakfast to the dining table.
After the two finished eating, Han Qiwu eagerly went to the nearby miniature forest and began chopping down trees.
"Clang"
With one swing, the oak tree fell.
[Wood] ×2
[Hardwood] ×1
[Oak Seed] ×1
"This feels so satisfying." Han Qiwu continued chopping eagerly.
Chopping trees like this is really addictive, he quickly finished the refreshed trees for today.
"Now that fishing, combat, and foraging are maxed out, for planting, it's evident that researching new templates increases experience, so let's research more new templates. As for mining, why not grind it to the max level first and see what happens?" Han Qiwu pondered a bit, then excitedly dashed to the mine, after informing Tang Qingying.
It's just the right time to try out the new profession skills too.
Upon reaching the mine, Han Qiwu skillfully made his way to the Endless Mine.
[You have arrived at the first level of the Endless Mine]
After recovering his vision, Han Qiwu looked around and quickly ran to a gold mine distributed along the rock wall and began digging.
"Clang clang clang"
Within just five minutes, he successfully unearthed the stairs to the next level.
This was a pattern he had summarized over time; gold mines along rock walls in the first thirty levels are easier to unearth stairs from.
Two hours later.
Han Qiwu was happily digging into an iridium gold mine when suddenly five or six Iridium Gold Slimes appeared from the side, bouncing towards Han Qiwu.
"Get away."
Without a word, Han Qiwu lifted a hand and set off a super bomb, an explosive shell, and a fireball.
All of these were instant-cast, and after researching for two hours, he found this arrangement was the most reasonable.
After releasing them, he turned around and ran, having no intention of looking back at the explosion.
A dozen seconds later, Han Qiwu was humming a tune as he ran back to pick up the items, continuing to dig.
"I'm a little miner, with strong mining skills."
Hey, picked up another rainbow shard.
Not bad luck.
While continuing to dig, Han Qiwu was also pondering over the remaining materials needed for the puppet camp: "I've accumulated nearly 36 gold ingots, still a bit short, and the number of iridium gold ingots is not enough, but now the rate of wood accumulation has increased a lot, I better hurry up and level up!"
Charge forward!
Three hours later, Han Qiwu arrived again at the sixty-third level of the Endless Mine.
Last time, he got stuck here and couldn't get past.
"Iridium Gold Crab! Come out!"
While playing with fire, Han Qiwu shouted arrogantly into the mine.
Those Iridium Gold Crabs may not have very strong defensive power, but their attack power is particularly strong.
Which crab do you know that swings its claws around?
And they swing them over thirty meters, hard to dodge, and they even have silk attached.
Sure enough, after Han Qiwu's shout, there was a rustling sound from the adjacent cave, and three Iridium Gold Crabs, shining with iridium gold light, crawled out. They were huge, and what's most eye-catching is that each had four big crab claws.
"Just in time!" Without another word, Han Qiwu raised his hand and launched three big fireballs.
The reason he didn't use a super bomb is that the super bomb can't be thrown; to bomb these iridium gold crabs, he'd have to get close.
But just looking at those big crab claws, Han Qiwu immediately dismissed the idea of throwing bombs close-range.
He didn't want to end up in two halves.
"Bang bang bang"
Three large fireballs flew in a triangular formation towards the Iridium Gold Crabs, incredibly fast.
Han Qiwu watched the trajectory of the fireballs, murmuring under his breath, controlling the fire elements.
Under his control, the big fireballs collided with the Iridium Gold Crabs, exploding into twelve smaller fireballs in the air, perfectly sticking to the crabs' claws.
"Got it!" Seeing the twelve small fireballs successfully sticking to the claws, Han Qiwu breathed a sigh of relief.
Grilled crab claws must taste good.
Let you bully me last time.
After dealing damage, the attributes of the Iridium Gold Crabs appeared.
[Iridium Gold Crab]
[Level: 203]
[Attack Methods: Flying Crab Claws, Fire-breathing]
[Note: Their claws can be recycled]
The Iridium Gold Crabs, now suffering from the burning claws, refused to be outdone, aiming their claws at Han Qiwu and throwing them over.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"
The flames on the crab claws grew with the wind, causing much higher damage.
"Oh, is this home delivery?" Han Qiwu took out an ice popsicle, rubbed his hand on it, and instantly, a light-gold flame burned on the popsicle.
Raising the flaming ice popsicle, Han Qiwu swung it backhandedly, smashing it towards the crab claws, adding more fire.
"Boom boom boom"
Soon, the Iridium Gold Crabs' claws turned redder and brighter, even the crab shells were turning a bit red.
"Playing with fire is really exhilarating." Han Qiwu shouted aloud, wielding the ice and fire stick, stepping on the wind-and-fire wheel to bully the clawless crabs.
A few minutes later, the three Iridium Gold Crabs turned into white light.
"Leave me a claw!"
Han Qiwu quickly ran over, shouting.
Whether it was due to his shouting or not, after the white light dissipated, there were indeed two big crab claws left on the ground.
[Iridium Gold Crab Claw]
[Usage: Ingredients]
[Note: Its meat is very chewy!]
Both big crab claws were already flaming red, with a hint of a charming fragrance.
"Perfect, one for Mr. Tang and one for me." Han Qiwu happily stashed them away, just about to continue mining when he suddenly noticed the ice popsicle in his hand was shaking violently.
"Swish swish swish"
With the shaking, the ice block on the popsicle quickly fell off, revealing the icy sword inside, shimmering with a blue glow!
[Ice Sword]
[Category: Stick/Sword]
[Current Form: Sword]
[Stats: Movement Speed +50, Attack Speed +20]
[Attack Power: 500-1000]
[Knockback Distance: 20m-50m]
[Effect - Chill: Each attack will cause a 5% slow effect on the enemy, which can stack up to 20 times]
[Effect - Bleed: Wounds caused by the sword tip will continue to bleed, causing 0.5% of the maximum health damage every second, lasting twenty seconds, stacking up to ten times]
[Effect - Meridian Sever: Damage from the sword body will sever the enemy's meridians, interrupting their actions, freezing them in place for 2 seconds, this effect can trigger every 5 seconds]
[Effect - Slash: The ice sword is extremely sharp, with a high chance to slice enemy limbs with each swing]
[Effect - Form Switch: After the sword form is out, it can switch between stick form and sword form]
[Note: Congratulations, it has appeared!]
"The ice sword has succeeded?" Han Qiwu joyfully reached out to take the ice sword, examining it closely.
The slender edge of the ice sword was as thin as a cicada's wings, and swinging it felt like it could cut through air. Looking at its stats closely, it provided comprehensive boosts, along with an added slash effect.
"If I'd known a bit of grilling could lead to an upgrade, I should have tossed you into the fire."
