The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

Many players have their own little schemes.

Because they have all found their own ways to make money, the current mining progress is relatively fast.

After all, everyone is happy to have an extra bonus.

And so, time passed day by day.

The ruins are shrinking at a visible rate during this period.

The vast underground labyrinth is disappearing at an extremely rapid pace thanks to the players' efforts to collect resources.

After collecting data for a while, the players discovered a problem.

At this moment, at the entrance to the ruins, the entire underground area has been almost completely hollowed out.

"So, brothers, if we keep going like this, I reckon it won't be long before this site is completely looted."

"So it's ridiculous. Who predicted that it would take at least several months to collect the samples? But I haven't even lasted half a month."

"The main reason is that we used all sorts of tools, and we were able to maintain this efficiency for so many days, which I think is quite good."

"Brothers, how much did you guys make this time?"

"I've earned nearly 100 gold coins, which averages out to about 10 gold coins a day."

"Hehe, I made 200 here."

"I haven't even mentioned you upstairs yet, but today I saw you secretly selling some other things."

"Don't just talk about me, everyone else is the same, they're all a bunch of old fogies."

"You guys are going a bit too far. Why don't you share your good stuff? You keep everything to yourselves all this time."

The players have roughly summarized their gains from this experience.

If you collect resources normally, you'll earn around 10 gold coins a day on average. If you find other ways, you might be able to earn around 20 gold coins a day.

Of course, this number is actually an average. For example, a driver can make more than 10 trips a day, but loading and collecting both require costs.

After all, they can't do these things for you for free, so after paying these fees, what's left is yours.

However, they were quite satisfied with this income.

Because a large portion of the players are, in the end, new players and don't have as much experience as the veteran players.

There are also some players who simply lack the skills and can only earn a little money by doing manual labor.

Therefore, for this group of players, they are already very satisfied with this income.

And so, the players continued to work on the final tasks while communicating with each other.

At this point, there's not much left to dig at this site. According to their estimates, it will be finished in about another day or two.

Of course, a lot of things happened during this period.

For example, the group with the watermelon knife on their heads and the dragon Moses came up with a safe house plan.

Many players have checked out this safe house, and it is indeed usable, but the problem is that the safe house is two meters long, wide, and high.

Because this thing was designed to withstand a lot of damage, the watermelon helmet on the head has several layers.

The final result was that it was indeed useful, but quite useless, because transporting this thing was a major problem.

Players' backpacks are only about one meter long, which is definitely not enough to carry everything. They can only be transported by vehicles, which is inconvenient and troublesome to operate.

This is also why the project failed before it even started; none of the more than 100 safe houses produced were sold.

Those wearing watermelon helmets must be crying in the bathroom.

It is said that for the past two days, Moses has been looking at him with disdain, neither his nose nor his eyes.

On the contrary, Lilith would run up to him every day to gloat.

The other players were unaware of the feud between them, but they didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, their primary goal right now is to empty the ruins.

While the players were busy clearing out the ruins, Jiang Chen was at that moment.

He's having quite a headache right now.

"So this matter is a little bit difficult to handle."

Looking at his newly opened store, where nearly half of the goods had been sold, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

The equipment we captured earlier was basically all bought by those few manufacturing guys and used to melt down materials.

Jiang Chen also suggested to them several times that they could get some personal protective equipment.

However, it is obviously unrealistic. Although we tried a few times, the results were not good.

"The problem is that without equipment, our strength will always drop significantly."

"Weapons of war certainly have advantages, but the biggest problem is that not every player can equip one."

Jiang Chen still hasn't figured out how to manufacture some of the magical equipment in this world.

"So Lilith, do you know how magical equipment is made?" she asked, while strolling around the trading area.

Jiang Chen then asked Lilith, who was standing next to him.

"So Jiang Chen, you want to forge magical equipment?"

"Of course I had that thought, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you."

Hearing this, Lilith pondered for a moment.

"Jiang Chen, you should just give up on that idea. Let me tell you, crafting magical equipment is extremely complicated."

"Even in the human empire, there are very few artisans who can forge good magical equipment, but if we're talking about who's the best at making these things, then it's definitely the goblins."

As if she had thought of something, Lilith added.

"But don't count on goblins. This race will be treated as honored guests no matter where they are."

"So it's absolutely impossible for them to defect to you."

"And even if you wanted to capture them, it would be very difficult, because the races they've joined would protect them."

"If you're unlucky, you might get wiped out by the race they've joined."

Hearing what Lilith said, Jiang Chen gave her an annoyed look.

"Don't talk so much, all the time."

Jiang Chen was also somewhat helpless.

He realized that he really needed the help of these races.

Wearing magical equipment versus not wearing it results in completely different levels of defense and other capabilities.

Moreover, compared to all players adopting this kind of weapon of war, it is obviously more realistic to adopt a full set of magical equipment.

Jiang Chen still felt very distressed that all of his magical equipment had been melted down into materials to manufacture weapons of war.

Seemingly sensing Jiang Chen's dilemma, Lilith suddenly thought of something.

"I do know a group of goblins who might be able to help you."

Hearing Lilith say this, Jiang Chen looked at her with some surprise.

Please explain the specifics in detail.
