"Is this a Marquise dimensional crystal that contains as much sword essence as a Famed Sword wielder?
It's so beautiful! "
Little Soldier looked at the egg-sized Marquise dimensional crystal in front of him. He was dazzled. The purple-red light represented hundreds of thousands of RMB, which was equivalent to all the money he had earned working in the mine for more than a year.
Compared to the soldier's obsession, Guhan and the others were calm. Guhan was like this. Even if it was a Marquise, Guhan would not be excited. Liunian Ling had seen too many Marquises. The Fleeting Family had a few Marquise dimensional crystals, and Liunian Ling had a dozen Marquise crystals in her bag.
As for Song Hama, the reason he was not excited was strange. He did not like pink. He thought it was too girly.
"Did you dig this?"
Guhan asked Rena Takasaka with a smile. Perhaps it was because Guhan was too handsome, but Rena Takasaka was a bit shy. She nodded and did not say anything else.
"Did you test it?
Do you know how much sword essence there is in the crystal? "
Guhan asked. Baron and Viscount were just a rough estimate. They still needed to go through the testing equipment to find out the exact amount of sword essence in the crystal. "I did.
This Marquise has around 68200 quarks, "Rena Takasaka explained.
"The equipment here is not good. The Marquise can only detect a hundred-digit number. It cannot detect a ten-digit or a single-digit number."
"That means this is a mid-tier Marquise." The soldier was even more envious when he heard that. Depending on the actual amount of sword essence in a Marquise, the price of a Marquise could vary greatly. Ten thousand sword essence and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand sword essence were both Marquises, but the price would not be the same.
"Pfft! Are you jealous?
Quick, my precious Rena, show them what you got. Scare them. "
Helena hugged Reina Takasaka tightly and pestered her, asking her to take out the other ores from her dimensional pocket. Reina Takasaka couldn't stand Helena's stubbornness, so she had no choice but to open her dimensional pocket.
Rena Takasaka took out five black, glass-ball-sized Dimensional Crystals from her dimensional pocket. The soldier calmly explained that they were Baron Dimensional Crystals. If he was lucky, he would be able to get five Baron Dimensional Crystals in one go.
Then, Lena pulled out five black and purple dimensional crystals, each about the size of a longan. The soldier was starting to lose his cool. These were Viscount dimensional crystals, and the soldier had dug up over two hundred of them. He had only managed to find four Viscount crystals, and that was the best he had ever done.
After that, Rena Takasaka took out three purple, ping-pong ball-sized dimensional crystals. They were Earl crystals. The soldier fell to the ground when he saw that. Life was so sad. He wanted to get drunk.
"I didn't expect you to be an expert in mining, Lady Lena. You've mined thousands of ores in one go. It's really amazing …" The soldier said sourly. In his opinion, it would take at least thousands of ores to break into such a panic-inducing and unbelievable high-quality dimensional crystal mine.
"No … My body is weak, and I'm too weak. I couldn't dig more than forty pieces of ore. The council took away half of them, so I only managed to dig about twenty pieces. Am I too useless?" Reina Takasaka said faintly. Indeed, a weak aura swept toward him.
"Twenty!"
The soldier rolled his eyes and fell to the ground before he could catch his breath. The Africans were kneeling before the Europeans.
…
Lina's action of taking out more than a dozen valuable dimensional crystals deeply attracted the gazes of the surrounding people. Most of them were bored people who had just finished breaking stones but didn't plan to leave. Instead, they stayed to watch others break stones … There were many people like this. Sometimes, watching others gamble was more fun than gambling themselves.
There were also some professional buyers of Dimensional Crystals. They stayed near the stone crusher all day. Once someone crushed an Earl Dimensional Crystal or above, they would swarm over and use all sorts of sweet words to buy the Dimensional Crystals.
Back at Broken Rock, Lena had already rejected five or six buyers who wanted to purchase her Marquise and Earl Breeds.
Most of the people in Lena's group had already finished breaking rocks, leaving only Chen Chang Sheng who hadn't. He walked up to the stone crushing machine, took out a fist-sized ore, placed it on the workbench, then used his personal terminal to touch the machine's scanner, establishing a contract with the stone crushing machine. For every rock that was broken, the stone crushing machine would deduct 80 RMB from Chen Chang Sheng's personal terminal.
The Heng Mountain Sword Sect's crusher was the most traditional steam-powered crusher. On each workbench, there were hundreds of large hammers of different sizes made of dimensional crystal powder. The hammers were made of dimensional alloys that contained more than 80% dimensional crystal powder.
Its working principle was roughly like this. First, a hammerhead with a striking surface that was about the same size as the cross-section of the ore was used to smash it with an appropriate amount of force, causing cracks to appear on the entire outer layer of the ore. Then, dozens of small hammerheads would be used to hammer the entire ore at a high frequency with even strength.
In just a few seconds, the outer structure of the ore would be completely broken like an eggshell, revealing the dimensional crystal inside. That was, of course, if there really was a dimensional crystal inside.
After Chen Changsheng's first dimensional crystal was hit, the surface of the stone turned into powder and fell off. In the end, there was no other color. It was an empty ore.
Chen Changsheng shook his head. He wasn't too angry. It was good enough that one out of twenty had a dimensional crystal. It wasn't a big deal.
But after that, Chen Changsheng lost his composure. He had shattered over fifty ores in a row, but all of them were empty. This was a world of difference from Rena Takasaka, who had obtained fourteen dimensional crystal ores from twenty ores.
It wasn't until around the sixtieth piece that Chen Chang Sheng obtained a Baron, but that seemed to be Chen Chang Sheng's limit. When the one hundred and twenty-first piece, which was the last piece of ore, was broken, Chen Chang Sheng could only helplessly accept the fact that he had only obtained one Baron today. This Baron was worth at most a thousand RMB, but Chen Chang Sheng had spent tens of thousands of RMB on the cost of breaking it. It was a huge loss.
"Haha, Captain, I didn't expect you to be more unlucky than me. Hahahaha!"
Helena couldn't help but laugh when she saw Chen Changsheng's result. She had the worst luck out of the three. Out of more than a hundred ores, she only got two barons.
She thought she was going to be the last one. She didn't expect Chen Changsheng to be worse off than her. This made Helena excited.
"Helena, don't make fun of Captain. Captain, hurry up and check the content of the barons."
Rena Takasaka pressed Helena's chattering mouth and comforted Chen Changsheng.
"En, alright!"
Chen Changsheng was very touched. He looked at Rena Takasaka, and there was something special in his eyes. It was the kind of possessive look a man had for a woman.
Lena Takasaka was a beautiful girl with large, bright eyes and a head of long, silky black hair. She had the gentle, gentle, and helpless temperament of a Japanese girl. Be it in terms of appearance or temperament, she was superior to Fleeting Lin, who was by Gu Han's side. Among the women and swordmaidens by Gu Han's side, only the King of Yue and the Heavenly Sword could surpass Lena Takasaka in terms of appearance. Unfortunately, the King of Yue and the Heavenly Sword were swordmaidens in the game, and could not appear in real life.
The detector to detect the specific content of Sword Element in the crystal ore was on the workbench. This detector was free. Chen Chang Sheng threw the ore into the detector and scanned it. The result was that the content of Sword Element was as high as 98 points.
The upper limit of a baron was 99 quarks of sword element. Chen Changsheng's piece had 98 quarks, which was very close to the upper limit. This kind of ore, which was close to the upper limit, was not only useful, but it was also valuable as a collector. Some collectors would pay a high price to buy this kind of crystal ore. This result made Chen Changsheng feel better.
"Guhan, it's your turn."
Chen Changsheng left the workbench and gave Guhan the right to use it. The four of them had finished.
"Hurry up, Guhan, Ao Lin. Let's see how lucky you are!"
Helena grabbed Guhan's hand like crazy. She wanted to pull him to the workbench and let him be the first to break the stone. If Guhan's luck was not as good as hers, Helena would laugh at Guhan.
But obviously, Guhan didn't plan to be the first. He pushed Little Soldier forward. "Little Soldier, come and have a look at the stone first."
"Ah … Little Soldier will wait. Mister Guhan, you go first …" Little Soldier was scared. He didn't dare to break the stone in front of Guhan and the others. Normal people could never be ahead of swordsmen. This was common sense.
"I told you to go first. Don't refuse. If you go first, I'll pay for the cost of the stone."
Guhan forcefully pushed Little Soldier to the workbench. When Little Soldier heard that Guhan would pay for the stone, he immediately refused.
At the same time, Little Soldier was very touched. He was a clear-minded person. He understood that the reason why Guhan let him go first was to find an excuse to pay for the stone. This Mister Guhan was really a good person!
This time, the little soldier's backpack contained a total of 32 carefully selected ores that might contain dimensional crystals. Sure enough, when the little soldier finished crushing the first stone, a black crystal ore appeared on the workbench, flashing with a faint light. He threw it into the detector and scanned it. The sword element content was 42 quarks, which could be sold for a few hundred yuan!
"Today's luck is really good. The first stone is already outstanding."
Little Soldier said excitedly. But there was more excitement to come. The 32 stones were broken one by one. There were actually six stones that were outstanding. Two of them were viscounts. Little Soldier hid the six Dimensional Crystals in his arms as if they were treasures. These Dimensional Crystals could be sold for tens of thousands of dollars. He was one step closer to saving his father and brother.
