C2547 He Didn't Even Hear What Was Happening Outside the Window
"How could he? How dare he? " These two sentences were squeezed out from the gaps between the teeth of the dead bodies that were thrown into the yellow earth. It was even colder than the cold wind, without a trace of warmth.
When Chen Jin Jiong said that Dongfang Qingyu would dare to raise the price, although it fit Dongfang Qingyu's character very well. He thought that Dongfang Qingyu would not dare to go against the law of the world, even though there were millions of people who would follow him. Not only did it refer to courage, but also death, the tragedy of hitting a stone with an egg.
He did not believe that Dongfang Qingyu had such courage. Compromising was a necessary quality for a businessman. However, the moment the announcement appeared, it shattered all of his fantasies and persistence.
Dongfang Qingyu was not as simple as being ruthless. He was simply insane!
"I still underestimated him!" After half a minute, Chen Jinong finally let out a low sigh. His face revealed a trace of coldness.
A simple holiday had put the entire empire's players in a disadvantageous position. He could not imagine what crazy actions the players would make when they were really short of food. Killing and arson were useless. In the end, they could only compromise and want Dongfang Qingyu to compromise. At that time, the scapegoat was very important. Who would be the scapegoat? Who was qualified to be the scapegoat?
At that time, without Dongfang Qingyu's help, the players who knew that he had been fooled would tear him into pieces. When he thought of the terrifying scene of the Thousand Accusing Fingers, Chen Jinghong felt a chill run down his spine. He could no longer sit still. He did not even bother to see how the corpses in the yellow soil looked like. After saying goodbye, he left the private room as if he was running for his life. He made up his mind that before the problem of food was solved, he was not online anymore.
A company's holiday could cause a stir in the world. It was probably only the treasure mystic realm. The various major powers reacted immediately.
"Contact Dongfang Qingyu. No matter what method we use, we have to contact Dongfang Qingyu." This was an order from Kingdom of Eternal.
"What is Dongfang Qingyu doing? There must be a limit to how willful you are in your room at this time. Can you take a vacation in the secret treasure realm? Don't he know that so many players don't have food to eat?" This was the voice of Giant Beast Legion.
"Go and investigate, it's behind Dongfang Qingyu. Let him use a move that will cause both sides to suffer, and find out who is behind this. I would like to see who is holding us back at this moment!" Zhao Tianya's voice was filled with killing intent. The matter of the Hell Tiger Staff had left him in a terrible state. He did not expect that some people not only did not know what was good for them, but also did something behind their backs. Which one could not be tolerated?
...
They all wanted to find Dongfang Qingyu, but no one could find him. Dongfang Qingyu stayed at home at night with Lin Huo to tease Jian Jia. His phone was switched off, and he was mining in 100,000 glaciers during the day. He didn't hear what was happening outside the window.
Dang, dang, dang, dang. Dang... Dang...

......
Dongfang Qingyu was a mining Grandmaster, and he could gather 500 ores at the same time. However, the grade of the earth stones was too high, and the frozen earth of the ice mountain was too hard. It was especially difficult to dig, and basically, he could only harvest three ores and two ores at the same time. It was very rare to dig out five of them.
This speed was clearly too slow. Dongfang Qingyu had no choice but to revive 30 pangolins to help him dig. Pangolins were pets. If he dug, he would also be able to obtain experience. However, it was not much. It was only 30-50%. As for why it was not fixed, it was floating. Dongfang Qingyu also couldn't understand. This was a rule set by the system. There was no reason to explain.
Grandmaster was an existence that players needed to look up to. Dongfang Qingyu used to think the same way at the top of the pyramid. When he started to dig for earth primal stones, his thoughts quietly changed.
Grandmaster wasn't like that. They had to stop and rest for 10 minutes after digging for an hour like a miner. Otherwise, their hands would be red and swollen, which would affect the subsequent mining.
The snow outside had already melted. Small Pudding Guoguo could go online now. She had nothing to do even if she went online. She spent half of her time with Dongfang Qingyu mining. Half of her time went outside to see if she could find some monsters. She wanted to meet the Ice Mountain Snow Silkworm. This thing was a divine insect. It was very powerful. If she didn't use it, she could give it to someone else. If she sent it to an auction... Tens of thousands of gold coins wouldn't be a problem.
She had the Wings of the Demon and her body had been strengthened by the 'Happiness Zen'. As long as she didn't challenge a height of more than 50 meters, she could deal with other dangers.
However, every time she came back, she would feel cold all over. Several times, her body would freeze. There was no safe place in the 100,000 glaciers. Small snowstorm, strong winds, avalanche... these things... They were like fallen leaves in autumn.
Woosh ~ ~ ~
Small Pudding Guoguo shot towards the mine like a black shadow. Her whole body froze the moment she entered. Her wings were unable to move and she crashed straight into the wall of the mine. Luckily, Dongfang Qingyu came out of the tunnel and poured the soil to protect her. It was the same as before. There were only 16,000 HP left, and she was only a little bit away from death.
He shook his head and quickly put her into the tent. The inside of the tent was maintained by the bonfire, and the temperature was very high. When her body melted, he fed her half a pot of wine before she recovered.
"I was chased by the blizzard for more than ten minutes. I'm tired, so I went offline first." Small Pudding Guoguo disappeared after saying that. Dongfang Qingyu shook his head and did not care about her. He walked out of the cave and opened the spatial ring. Several dozen meters of soil fell outside.
Although mining was tiring, the most troublesome thing was transporting the soil. It was better to have someone with a large spatial ring. One or two trips a day was enough. There were no large spatial ring miners. That would be painful. After digging for a period of time, they would have to clean up the soil. Otherwise, if the soil was kept in the back, it would eventually suffocate them to death.
If Dongfang Qingyu was alone, he could pour enough soil once a week. However, with the pangolin, the frequency became one every day. There was too much soil. If the soil was piled up in the tunnel, it would also affect the efficiency of mining.2
There was one advantage of mining in the ice mountain. The soil here was especially solid. No matter how hard he dug, he did not have to worry about collapsing. He only worried about not being able to dig. Mining in other places couldn't be too big, or else they would need a support. Usually, it was a tunnel that was around three meters long, and it was divided into two parts.
Dongfang Qingyu didn't need to do this right now. He just kept digging, and he didn't need to worry about it. The height of the mine had exceeded six meters, and he still planned to continue digging. The space was big, and it would be more comfortable for him to stay there.
Because there was plenty of time, Small Pudding Guoguo did not log off regularly. Sometimes, she would stay online for a while longer, and sometimes, she would log off early.
When her temper returned, she would also light a bonfire and roast meat for Dongfang Qingyu. After the wine was warm, it would become even purer, and the fragrance would spread throughout the entire mine.
Looking at the number of earth primeval stones increasing bit by bit, from two digits to one. It became three digits, breaking four digits, and today, it caused the number to break five digits. Dongfang Qingyu's heart was half filled with joy. The only thing that annoyed him was that the number of pangolins decreased very quickly.
The temperature inside the mine was even lower than outside the mine. It seemed that the low temperature could also be condensed and concentrated inside the mountain. Unless there was a blizzard outside, the temperature inside would always be higher than outside.
Dongfang Qingyu himself could withstand such low temperature, but pangolin couldn't. He would die in an hour at most. Small Pudding Guoguo, on the other hand, suggested lighting a few more bonfires in the mine to raise the temperature. This way, the pangolin would be able to hide for a period of time. However, it was rejected by Dongfang Qingyu.
Even if the temperature increased by one or two degrees, it would still cause irreversible damage to the frozen earth. Once the frozen earth layer softened, the result would be that it would not be able to support the mountain peak above. Then the mountain would fall down, and Dongfang Qingyu would be smashed into a meat patty.
There was no sun or moon in the mountain, and it had already been several weeks in the world.
Tomorrow would be the 30th day of the treasury being cut off from food supply. In this month, in the first half of the month, the players could still barely hold on, but in the next half of the month, the situation was dire.
A week ago, Happiness Inn started to limit the number of customers. The price of each dish was increased by 10 times, but no one cursed. Instead, they would rush to buy it every time.
Even Happiness Inn, which claimed to have the largest warehouse, began to limit the supply. One could imagine how much food was scarce. The players searched for Dongfang Qingyu for a month, but they still couldn't find him. They naturally understood that Dongfang Qingyu had deliberately hidden himself, but what could they do if they knew?
They couldn't find him, fight, or find him. There was nothing they could do to Dongfang Qingyu. Fortunately, Dongfang Qingyu finally had a response today. He had sent a message through Murong Yunhan.
"A month ago, who was the one who attacked Dongfang Qingyu? Who was the mastermind behind this? He must be punished!" These were Dongfang Qingyu's exact words.
Regarding this point, the leaders of the various major powers had already guessed it. After Murong Yunhan relayed Dongfang Qingyu's words, in less than a minute, the news of the bodies being dumped in the yellow soil would probably be announced. A public apology would take all the responsibility to themselves. He would also pay 10,000 gold coins as compensation for Dongfang Qingyu's spiritual loss.
"How good would it be if it was this early? They are all a bunch of cheap bones." Lin Huo's heart was filled with joy at Zhong University's misfortune.
"Are we going to start selling now?" Lin Qian'er asked.
"Yes!" Dongfang Qingyu had waited for so long not for an apology, but because he didn't want to make things difficult for money. He touched the shop and added, "It's only for sale in the shop. Don't make private deals with those big powers!"
"I understand!" Lin Qian'er was stunned. She seemed to have realized something.
"What's the price?" Lin Huo Huo asked the most crucial question.
"What do you think?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"Ten times is not too much, right?" Lin Huo's Qi was strong, but his voice had weakened.
"I originally planned to increase it by 20 times. Since my wife said 10 times, then it's 10 times. It's letting them off easy." Dongfang Qingyu's words made the players almost bankrupt.
Sure enough, the news of the food being sold at 10 times the price had just been released. The players were in an uproar, and then they started to curse. But very quickly, they didn't have time to curse anymore. Because there was another piece of news that the farmers had rested for a month. There wasn't much food in the secret realm. If they were a little late... They could not buy any more food, and the major powers had already rushed over.
The major powers were all rich people. If they were the first to snatch the food, the others wouldn't even have the chance to drink the soup. The players didn't have the mood to curse anymore. They rushed towards the selling point of the secret realm with the speed of escaping.
