Chapter 118: Digging a Tunnel
Holding the title deed and walking into the sunset, Steve left the city hall.
Before dark, Steve returned to his base on Iron Hoof Street.
The furniture left by the previous owner is still there, although it is a bit old, it can still be used;
Without further ado, Steve took out his pickaxe, found the center of the one-bedroom apartment, swung the pickaxe, and a complete square stone appeared in front of him.
Unlike the geology of Thorium Hall, the underground of Waterdeep is mostly soil;
After digging twenty meters down, Steve found the right direction and dug all the way south.
Because the [Dimension Ring] was filled with goods, he had to fill the excess soil into the mine tunnel behind him while digging;
He dug all the way south, and because of the depth, he successfully avoided the drainage system that was spread throughout every corner of the city and dug all the way outside the city.
Like a diligent mole, he managed to stick his head out near his home;
Looking up from the mine tunnel, outside, the bright moon hangs in the sky, and from time to time a naughty cloud covers its face;
The salty sea breeze blew, bringing with it biting cold and humidity.
After looking around carefully and finding that everything was extremely quiet, Steve climbed out of the mine.
He shook off the smelly mud on his hands, waved his hand, and the square mud blocked the entrance of the mine, then he walked towards home.
I pushed open the door of the courtyard, walked into the house, and was greeted by a pair of aggrieved eyes.
"I'm hungry!" Bobby just sat on the ground, looking at Steve eagerly.
Seeing this, Steve opened the [Void Demiplane] without saying a word, took out the ten takeouts he had packed for lunch, and placed them in front of Bobby.
"Please come in, you starving ghost."
Smelling the aroma of food, Bobby ignored Steve's complaints and grabbed the lunch box which was only the size of her palm and stuffed it directly into her mouth.
Leaving Bobby wolfing down his food, Steve walked straight into the storage room on the right side of the house and poured out the goods in the [Dimensional Ring] like taking out garbage.
After clearing the [Dimensional Ring], Steve returned to the front hall.
At this moment, Bobby had already emptied ten lunch boxes and was licking the plates with a nostalgic look on his face.
Better than the food made by the dwarves, but not enough!
Only after licking every plate until it was shiny did Bobby reluctantly put down these little cuties, raised his head, and looked at Steve pitifully.
"Not full..."
Hearing this, Steve sighed helplessly, reached out from his arms and pulled out a bulging wallet, and took out a golden coin;
"Poppy, you're a grown-up girl now. You can't just sit there and wait for me to feed you like that every day."
"Then what do you say I should do?" Bobby stared at the gold coins in Steve's hand and answered cooperatively.
"You need to take care of your hunger yourself."
"How to deal with it?"
"Gold coins. There are more than 300 gold coins in this bag. Take three coins a day and go to the city to have your three meals a day."
Steve said with a serious expression.
Hearing this, a hint of joy suddenly flashed in Bobby's eyes.
Don't think that ogres have no concept of money. Although these guys are stupid, they have a deep-rooted greedy nature that likes shiny little things.
The reason why Bobby didn't ask Steve for money was precisely because this girl was very smart and knew how to restrain her little greed.
Facing the gold coins flashing before his eyes, Bobby rolled his eyes, then asked with a guilty and stuttering voice:
"Well...well...what if I want to have a midnight snack at night?"
"No midnight snacks! A self-disciplined girl can't have midnight snacks!"
Faced with Steve's stern answer, Bobby shrank his head and nodded solemnly.
One gold coin is enough to cover the expenses of a family of three with an average living standard for a year, but it is only the money Steve gave to Bobby for a meal;
As for the reason, Steve is not short of money.
In the homes of great nobles, a painting hanging on the wall is worth hundreds or thousands of gold coins;
What is the difference between this money and the money in your pocket?
As a wanderer with a promising future, you should take a long-term view.
Leaving food money to Bobby and asking her to buy some furniture for the house, Steve went into the warehouse and continued his excavation work.
He had many tasks in the early stages, not only to prepare the underground passage connecting the city and the outside world;
It is also necessary to break through the earth's crust and dig a shipping channel connecting to the dark area.
You can’t make much money by doing small things. Only by working on an assembly line can you make a fortune.
......
Time flies, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Steve stood in the middle of his own warehouse, which had long been unrecognizable, pointing at the bottomless hole in front of him and directing Bobby to operate the machine.
"See, this basket is filled with goods every morning and then put down.
When the sun sets in the evening, turn the handle to raise it.
This thing is the same as the shaft that draws water from a well."
At the side, Bobby scratched his bald scalp and nodded seriously.
"Deliver the goods in the morning and bring back the empty baskets in the evening. OK, I get it~"
"Do you really know?" Steve asked doubtfully.
"Really, I'm not stupid." Bobby patted his chest, looking like he had everything under control.
Seeing this, Steve nodded, turned and walked out of the warehouse.
After working for more than half a month, he finally opened the passage between his warehouse and the Drow Maid Dungeon. He was very tired now;
Steve returned to the bedroom and lay straight on the single bed made of iron frame without taking off his clothes, and fell into a deep sleep.
Mining does gain more experience than stealing, but mining is a job that requires a lot of skill and physical strength.
Ordinary stones do not provide experience. Only metal veins buried underground can provide experience. This requires Steve to have a special understanding of the distribution of metal veins in geological strata.
But he only has the blood of Steve's family, but no knowledge inheritance.
Let me put it this way, the alchemist bloodline of Steve's family can indeed store knowledge, but the storage space of this thing is too small!
It is not a 100GB mobile hard disk, nor a 10GB USB flash drive, but a floppy disk with a memory of no more than 5MB;
All Steve can access at the moment is super high-end technology like how to make the Philosopher's Stone.
On the contrary, he had no idea about the basic knowledge of geological exploration and mineral vein distribution.
Think about it, if you want to leave something for future generations, would you abandon the high-end philosopher's stone manufacturing technology and choose geological exploration, which is basic knowledge that is not difficult to acquire?
The most important thing is that the Philosopher's Stone requires various spells and rare materials, none of which he had ever heard of.
