Mirror World Administrator

Chapter 7 Archaeological Tools
"Not bad, not bad." Yang Xu nodded with satisfaction. Looking back, he found that Tu Bi's body had disappeared at some point, and only two cards emitting a faint white light were left in its place.

Yang Xu went forward to pick it up and took a look. The card was only the size of a playing card. There was a lifelike image of a Tubi on the front, and the name and description of the card were on the back. It was indeed called "Tubi Fragments", but he didn't expect it to be distributed in the form of a card.

From his experience with the Stopper Card just now, he knew that if he crushed it with a little force, it would automatically activate, temporarily granting him the ability to paint walls, but the card would be consumed. Yang Xu was still waiting to accumulate ten pieces to synthesize a pet, but he hadn't considered using them yet.

After carefully putting away the two cards, Yang Xu looked at the last harvest, which was the hatchet in his hand.

I didn't have time to look closely during the battle just now, so I read the instructions carefully now.

Slower attack speed: 1.22 seconds. This should be the source of the repulsive force he felt when he swung the knife. Limited by the rules of attack speed, the knife can only cut once every 1.22 seconds.

The quality of this knife is only ordinary, and it seems to be of a lower grade. No wonder it took more than seventy cuts to kill Tu Bi.

However, even the lowest grade junk is a treasure to Yang Xu, who is now penniless.

"What's the situation with this skill?"

Yang Xu noticed the description of the additional skills.

[Attached skill 'Loss of Sanity', unlocked when wearing a skin with the (Yandere) attribute (unable to use if conditions are not met)]

Yang Xu understood the yandere character, but what about the yandere's "attribute"? Could something like this personality be digitized?
Yang Xu was very curious about what the so-called "skin" was, but unfortunately no more detailed description was displayed.

That’s all the log information, but there’s more tonight’s spoils.

After a short rest, Yang Xu recovered some strength. He stood up, walked around the corpse on the ground, ran to the pit behind, and picked up the shovel.

Yang Xu originally thought that this shovel was an ordinary farm tool taken from a resident's home. It was not until he held the shovel in his hand and looked at the prompt displayed on the panel that he realized that this thing was actually a prop in the points store called "Archaeological Shovel".

[Under the ground of the Mirror World, buried are relics from many extinct civilizations throughout history, including but not limited to blueprints, buildings, various props, skins, and more. These relics cannot be excavated using ordinary means, and only a few special tools can reveal them.]

[Archaeological Shovel: One of the Mirror World's archaeological tools. Used on 'unexcavated' plots, it quickly uncovers hidden treasures. Durability: 3/5. Each excavated plot consumes 1 durability point. Can only be used within individual or team territories. Price in the store: 50 points.]

The so-called "archaeology" is similar to drawing cards in a game according to the instructions. You dig up the land, and whether you can get something depends on luck.

Each shovel can be used five times. This one has been used twice by the previous administrator, and there are exactly two plots of land in his territory that have been excavated, so the data matches.

Judging from the results, nothing was dug out from one of the plots, but this hatchet was dug out from the other plot.

Thinking of this, Yang Xu immediately picked up a shovel, walked to an unexcavated area next to him, found a piece of relatively soft grass, and started shoveling it with the shovel.

After a few shovels, the outline of a pit was soon dug out on the ground.

I dug for four or five minutes, but there was no change.

When Yang Xu dug the pit to a depth of half a meter and the pit mouth reached a width of two meters, a prompt finally popped up on the panel.

You excavate a plot of land, but it's empty.

[Archaeological shovel durability -1.]

"Tsk, empty..."

Yang Xu felt a pang of pain. He only had a few plots of land now, and one of them was wasted like this.

However, he also noted that the hint was 'preliminary excavation'.

So, if he got a more advanced 'archaeological tool' in the future, perhaps he could dig even deeper? Yang Xu pondered the pattern in his mind.

The shovel can only be used on 'unexcavated' plots of land. Once dug, it cannot be dug again. Yang Xu had to move on to the next plot of land.

Another twenty minutes later.

You excavate a plot of land, but it's empty.

[Archaeological shovel durability -1.]

"Emm..." Yang Xu began to feel uneasy. Could it be that after three chances, no goods would be delivered?

He still doesn't know what the delivery rate is when digging plots of land, but he usually has good luck when drawing cards in games, and he can even play the role of a European emperor from time to time. It's not possible that now, when he really needs to rely on his luck, he will be unlucky, right?
With nervousness and anticipation, Yang Xu walked towards the next plot of land.

Finally, I didn’t fail again this time.

Twenty minutes later, Yang Xu dug a shovel into the pit, but seemed to hit something hard.

Yang Xu was delighted and hurriedly and carefully dug around.

After a moment, a mechanical instrument similar to a small radar appeared.

This thing is blue and white in color. Above the streamlined lid is an antenna supported by four brackets. The top of the antenna is a smooth metal sphere. The overall appearance is full of high-tech feel.

As soon as the object was unearthed, the antenna on the top began to rotate automatically, and a faint electric arc flashed on the metal sphere.

You have initially excavated a plot of land.

[You have unearthed the remains of a building from an ancient era.]

【Small Spirit Detection Radar】

[Type: Architecture]

[Affiliation: Sixth Era]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Function: Automatically activates upon placement in a territory, scanning for spirit creatures within a five-square radius around the radar and determining their various data. Feedback is displayed in real time on the territory map. Placing a radar requires occupying one plot of land.]

Yang Xu hurriedly opened the territory map and took a look.

Sure enough, a circular outline had appeared on the map at this moment, with a radius of 1000 meters, covering his entire territory and a large area of ​​the surrounding area. A green line extended from the center of the circle and rotated rapidly like a clock hand, scanning the entire circular area in rounds.

At the same time, a note was displayed above the map: [Radar monitoring, there are currently no Mirror Ghosts in the territory.]

"Good stuff!"

Yang Xu's eyes lit up when he saw it. This radar was specially used to scan mirror ghosts. With this thing, if a mirror ghost entered his territory in the future, he would be able to know it at the first time, and he could see the mirror ghost's location at any time. He no longer had to worry about being attacked by the mirror ghost from hiding.

Yang Xu didn't expect that such a high-tech product could be dug out from the underground of the mirror world. This thing could definitely not be produced with the current level of technology on Blue Star.

According to the description, this thing was produced in the 'Sixth Era' and it's just an ordinary item. Could this so-called 'Sixth Era' be a high-tech civilization that far exceeds the current level of mankind?

At this time, a prompt appeared in the log again.

[Archaeological shovel durability -1, durability has returned to zero.]

Following this prompt, the shovel in his hand shattered into pieces and turned into ashes.

[It is detected that you still have unexcavated plots. You can continue to exchange for new archaeological shovels in the points store. Do you want to exchange them now? ]

Yang Xu followed the prompts and clicked into the [Points Store] to take a look.

It's called a store, but it actually only sells three things: [Ordinary Plots], [Archaeological Shovel], and [Impact Mitigation Services].

Each plot of land was sold for 200 points, which was ridiculously expensive, so Yang Xu simply ignored it.

Each archaeological shovel is worth 50 points, and the initial points given are exactly 50 points.

In other words, these initial points are actually used to buy shovels for novice administrators, ensuring that all administrators have at least one shovel to dig for treasures as soon as they take office, thereby obtaining starting props.

Of course, what you dig out depends entirely on luck. If you really run into a black guy who has nothing in all five boxes, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
