Chapter 553: Chapter 94 It doesn’t matter if it’s about money_1

Spice13 had never expected the newbie benefits in this game to be so generous...

He had just entered the game and hadn’t done anything yet.

He hadn’t fought any monsters, hadn’t run any dungeons, nor had he completed any quests. He hadn’t even met the clan leaders of his own faction... If this were any other game, it would be like he had just created a character and was still at the stage of a total newbie, adjusting the keybinds and changing strafing from QE to AD.

——And then he received a house from an experienced player.

The house they were now in was given to them for free.

Spice13: ???

He suddenly had a mysterious sense of curiosity... Was this perhaps a home-themed game?

Like the ones where you do quests to earn money to buy furniture, with home decorating being the main feature?

"Don’t overthink it."

Longjing Tea knew immediately what he was thinking.

He explained directly, "You should thank the boss, these houses are benefits that the boss fought for us. Of course, we also have to thank Four Concealed Pungs, his sister, and brother... You know them, right?"

"Lin Yiyi and her brother?"

Spice13 immediately understood upon hearing this, "Ah, I know them."

So they had come too.

Nowadays, their main job is being Bilibili creators and streaming is just secondary. Close to Four Concealed Pungs, it’s Bamboo Stick Sister who has a closer relationship with the two of them.

As for Ah Dian, she’s more familiar with Four Concealed Pungs. She used to be the house admin of Four Concealed Pungs before she made her debut.

"In the last main quest, thanks to the good impressions they raised with their sister and brother act, and the perfect ending Giralda, the boss, achieved, a very generous wealthy guy was willing to sponsor us. Whether it be travel expenses or accommodation costs..."

"This bro, so righteous!"

On the side, Husky immediately exclaimed.

"Of course, these houses aren’t provided by Niusel. The money he initially gave was only enough for renting... But the environment around here is quite nice, so the four of us chipped in a little extra money to buy you guys a villa."

Gourmet Goose said, "We’ve also made some money recently, so we’re not as strapped for cash."

...You call this environment around here, ’quite nice’?

Spice13’s expression was slightly peculiar.

When he first entered the Mist Continent, he was choked by the acrid smell in the air.

"This place is called the Coal Ash Wasteland, you must have seen it on the quest page... Of course, not that red and black land tile."

Longjing Tea said while pulling out a leather map from his chest and unfolding it directly.

He pointed to a dark red basin area, "Look, it’s right here.

"I know what you’re thinking. You feel like the air here isn’t too good, right? Well, you’re correct because this isn’t really a residential area... This is the exploration layer 18 kilometers underground. It’s not part of the layer of the Underground City where the populace usually lives.

"During the first exploration, this place was once submerged in lava and completely destroyed. The mining area that had been built around it was also destroyed by the magma. It wasn’t until fifty years later that the second exploration took place... That is by the same benefactor who provides us with supplies, the Digger Niusel."

Longjing Tea pointed not far from the dark red basin to a corner.

"Enter the mine from here, and go down another eighty meters. That’s the new mining area discovered by Niusel, which he named ’Miserolo Excavation Site’—Miserolo is his uncle’s name."

"...A mining site?"

Spice13 repeated, "Are we supposed to mine here?"

Although he understood that the gathering profession was definitely profitable.

But in such a second-life-like Otherworld, without learning spells, without purifying nightmares, without going out to kill monsters, but instead quietly mining... That seemed kind of dull.

He himself could endure solitude; at worst, he could treat it as physical training to increase strength and stamina. He saw forum posts that exercising could improve attributes.

——But what about Ah Dian and Husky, who were with him?

Could their current bodies withstand mining activities?

After all, this wasn’t about merely clicking a mouse or tapping a keyboard to collect resources.

Mining was physical labor—and in this fantasy world, it might also be very dangerous. Who knows what kind of monsters might suddenly come out.

Seeing his somewhat reluctant look, Longjing Tea just gave a mysterious smile.

"Do you know, why we were able to buy you a house?"

"...Why?"

Thirteen Spice was indeed quite curious.

The house they lived in was not the ordinary kind of personal residence. It was a two-story villa with a high degree of completion, even coming with some furniture included. Whether it was the walls and floors, tables and chairs, bedrooms and studies, or even the "gas pipelines" and "water pipes"—of course, these two terms were not used in this world.

Aside from the study being empty and the lack of decorative items and ornaments, the only possible flaw could be that the air quality wasn’t too great. It was dry outside, and the smell was a bit pungent... but undoubtedly, this was one of the top houses in the city.

The villa had a total of four bedrooms. All three of them were living together, with one spare room left for later arrivals.

Although, as of now, Husky could be considered a half-girl at best.

But, his essence was still that of an older man... To not trouble Ah-Dian, she eventually decided to share a room with Thirteen Spice on the first floor, while Ah-Dian quite regrettably ended up alone on the second floor.

They planned that if the fourth roommate was female, she would just stay on the first floor; if it was a male, then Husky would move to the second floor.

—A fake sister was better than a real man after all.

However, such luxurious accommodations didn’t seem like they were simply given away for free. Nor did they seem affordable just like that.

Thinking of this, Thirteen Spice felt a tightness in his chest.

Was this...a mortgage?

Do they have to mine to pay back the cost of the house?

As he pondered, Longjing Tea continued to explain:

"That big shot who provided us with the travel expenses, also provided us with a special individual mining license. Mining from his discovered mines comes with tax exemption—you get to keep everything you dig up."

It was like those orchards where you could take away the apples and plums you picked?

Thirteen Spice seemed to understand.

That was indeed quite nice.

Perhaps they could save some startup funds.

It was certain that a Spellcaster would need money... That silly Husky didn’t look like someone who could go out and earn money. Hopefully, he doesn’t accidentally sell himself.

If he could mine some startup funds, allowing all three of them to learn spells and get through the early stages, that could be a plan.

Seeing him somewhat interested, Longjing Tea added lastly, "Of course, the most important thing is...

"—Miserolo Mines is a gold-rich mine."

They stopped there.

A car happened to pass by outside the window at that moment.

Longjing Tea pointed with his chin towards the window, signaling Thirteen Spice to look outside.

There, the creature pulling the cart resembled a massive, dark-skinned rhinoceros. It was about two meters high, obviously thick-skinned and tough, but seemed quite docile looking. Beside it were about thirteen or fourteen fully armed, dark-skinned men as escorts.

The moment he saw this creature, Thirteen Spice finally felt that "Otherworld vibe" arriving.

He looked intently outside.

Behind it, it was pulling a metal carriage like a heavy-duty truck...the kind that shook the ground as it drove down the road.

Even in the misty continent, the pedestrians stopped talking and hurriedly moved aside when they felt the beast approach. In that sense, it was quite extraordinary.

And in the open-topped metal carriage pulled by the beast,

There was an abundance of gold ore. The faint hint of gold could even be seen with the naked eye.

—At a guess, it was about ten tonnes in weight.

It must be the yield of one day’s work for these folks.

Thirteen Spice was transfixed.

"...I’ve thought it over, and mining for a few months doesn’t seem too bad."

He quickly changed his tune, "It’s not about the gold, mainly I just want to train my body. It wouldn’t be good if a Wizard was too frail and got taken down easily, don’t you think?"

Longjing Tea responded seriously, "You’re right—

"But after you’ve mined for a few days and have some capital to start with, you still have to repay that room money we posted for you."

"Next time, definitely next time..."
