Chapter 796: Mining Plan

Sandy became anxious and asked, “Fang Heng? We’re not going to take revenge?”
“Don’t be anxious. We don’t care about taking revenge in such a short amount of time. Let’s wait a little longer. We’ll take action after we understand the situation.”
As they spoke, Fang Heng, Mo Jiawei and Sandy arrived at Raptor Company’s commission office on the other side.
A list of available missions appeared on their retina.
The number and tier of the missions that players could currently receive were also related to Raptor Company’s VIP membership level.
Level 1 could only receive one mission at a time.
Fang Heng roughly skimmed through the information on the three-dimensional projection list.
There were roughly two types of missions.
The first was the hunting-type mission. The player had to hunt for life forms that had undergone radiation mutation, and then extract a sample of their life essence before submitting them.
It sounded very troublesome.
The player needed to leave the safe area to complete the mission. He also had to extract a sample of the life form’s life essence before returning to submit the mission.
The other type was the collecting-type mission, in which the player had to collect materials and resources.
Fang Heng pondered for a moment, then focused his attention on a mission to collect ores and materials.
A unit of low-level ores could provide 5 contribution points.
In theory, collecting-type missions allowed the player to collect and submit without limit.
Fang Heng was a little tired. He didn’t want to make too much of a fuss tonight, so he randomly found a low-level mission to deal with and let the zombie clones mine for the whole night.
With that thought, Fang Heng casually pointed and accepted the mission, “That’s it. Let’s get to work.”
There were very few people in the Raptor Company’s mission area. Not far away from Fang Heng and the others, more than ten rookies who had just joined the game gathered together.
Meeting each other was also a kind of fate. It was very common for rookies to huddle together for warmth.
It was also taught in school.
According to the school teaching, the first mission planning should begin after completing the initial intelligence-gathering work.
At this point, the rookies were troubled.
Each person had 30 points as the initial startup, apart from the basic protective suit, weapons and food, if it was a gathering-type mission, they would also need tools such as a shovel…
They were stretched thin.
One person’s points were not enough, so they could only stick together.
After all, this was their first time playing the game, so the players were still a little hesitant. They discussed how they were going to find some easy missions to complete.
Seeing this group of people who could be used as his toolmen, Fang Heng walked over.
“Everyone, I’m Fang Shuo. I want to work together with you.”
The rookies turned their heads at the same time and looked at Fang Heng.
They had also seen what had happened outside not long ago.
Fang Heng’s group had just arrived and already had a conflict with the local boss.
It was very reckless behavior.
When the players saw Fang Heng and the other two take the initiative to approach them, they were a little wary.
“Don’t be nervous. I’ll have a batch of materials delivered tonight, so I’ll get someone to help me complete the last batch of transportation. Yes, the unloading location is at the periphery of the safe area. There’s almost no danger. The working hours will be from now until seven o’clock tomorrow morning. I’ll give each of you 30 contribution points as payment…”
Mo Jiawei nodded and said, “I’m the supervisor. I can give each of you 100 survival points as a deposit.”
Several players looked at each other before looking at Fang Heng at the same time.
After all this time, he was a tycoon?
“How is it? Do you accept the proposal?”
Everyone nodded in unison.
For a rookie, earning 30 contribution points in one night was very good.
“Right, is there a mining area nearby?”
“Yes,” a female rookie carefully raised her hand and said, “I just asked around. There’s an abandoned mining area about two kilometers away from here to the west. We originally wanted to go there to collect ores.”
Mo Jiawei said, “Over 95% of the ore resources there have already been mined. The amount of ore produced is very low. If you’re unlucky, you will not be able to make ends meet, and will also be harassed by the mutated creatures nearby, so it’s already been abandoned by the players.”
This was not bad.
As long as it was close enough, it was alright.
In the Wasteland World, the most troublesome thing was the unknown radiation in the outside world.
Players had to wear a protective suit if they wanted to go outside.
The protective suit’s protective ability was different according to the level. The lowest level of the protective suit could only last five hours outside, and it was easily spoilt.
The selling price was 5 contribution points.
Therefore, the player had to pay a cost to go outside to collect.
Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei quickly discussed and pondered.
“I’ll go outside alone to take a look. You guys stay here first and try to find out more about the situation. Contact me through the survival radio.”
“Okay.”
Fang Heng bought a protective suit and five mining picks and shovels by himself and put them into his backpack. He was ready to go to the mine to try it out.
Wearing the protective suit, Fang Heng left the safe area through the passage and came to the periphery of the building.
The night vision ability of the vampires combined with the moonlight provided sufficient vision.
The outside of the Wasteland World looked similar to the Zombie Apocalypse.
There was no player. It was a very desolate scene.
[Hint: You have entered the radiation zone.]
Fang Heng tried to open the zipper of the protective suit.
[Hint: Player has entered an unknown radiation exposure state. Exposure rate: 19%. Current radiation limit: 0.01%. The radiation limit exceeds 70%. There is a chance that the player will enter an unstable mutation state.]
[Hint (based on low-level game difficulty): A small percentage of the mutation state cannot be healed.]
[Hint: Player’s current physique attribute is greater than 40, greatly reducing the radiation effect.]
[Hint: You have been affected by the radiation effect. Your HP has been reduced by 8 points…]
[Hint: The longer the player is exposed to the radiation, the more damage the player will receive.]
[Hint: Player’s HP has been reduced by 11 points…]
Fang Heng carefully observed the game log.
In theory, radiation-like damage could be considered physical damage.
The undying body effect was immune to this kind of damage, so the zombie clones should be able to work without protection.
But…
It was better to be safe.
Fang Heng zipped up the protective suit again.
Dressed neatly, Fang Heng walked in the west direction toward the mining area. The mining area was not far away.
With a high attribute bonus, Fang Heng ran all the way and successfully arrived at the mining area ten minutes later.
There were no enemies along the way.
It seemed that this route was relatively safe.
In the middle of the night, players were seen near the abandoned mining area.
While thinking, Fang Heng stepped into the interior of the mining area.
He glanced at the game hint again.
The zombies would still need another half an hour to resurrect.
Let’s begin.
Level up first.
Last time, he had killed a large wave of vampires in the Vampire Apocalypse’s Elders Council. He had gathered a lot of crystals, but he didn’t have time to level up then.
After leveling up, he could immediately obtain a batch of toolmen.
Fang Heng opened the attribute panel of his character.
“Level up.”
[Hint: Player has met the level-up requirement, the current level has been raised to Level 22.]
[Hint: Player has obtained 85 additional zombie clones through his talent skill.]
Under his feet, the surrounding muddy ground rumbled.
Gray-brown palms poked out from the soil one after another.
The zombie clones struggled out of the soil unsteadily.
