nDuring this excavation, the resources collected were: Iron Block 2, Wood 4. Sand 28. Fluorescent Grass 6. Mineral Water 2, Bread 2.

n

n

nAmong them, the value of sand was the lowest.

n

n

nSince they were trapped in the catacombs, any random shovel would yield them 1 unit.

n

n

n‘I wonder how much space these resources take up.’

n

n

nKlein recalled that every time he brandished the shovel, he would get rid of a large piece of sand.

n

n

nIf he were to store the 1:1 ratio in the runic base, a small space of about 8 cubic meters would probably not be enough.

n

n

n“Open the game interface,” Klein muttered.

n

n

nA light blue translucent panel appeared.

n

n

nOther than a row of function buttons, there was a small room icon in the upper left corner.

n

n

nThis represented the capacity of the runic base.

n

n

nThe color of the room icon represented the degree of space taken up.

n

n

nIf there was more than 80% of the remaining space, it was green.

n

n

nBetween 60% and 80%, it was yellow.

n

n

nBetween 40% and 60%, it was orange.

n

n

nBetween 20% and 40%, it was bright red.

n

n

nBelow 20%, it was dark red.

n

n

nAt that moment, the room icon was green.

n

n

nIt meant that there was sufficient space left.

n

n

n“Runic base, open.”

n

n

nKlein was puzzled as he opened the base to check.

n

n

nWhoosh!

n

n

nThe runic base opened.

n

n

nEverything was neatly placed.

n

n

nSand, iron, and wood were all placed in square shapes.

n

n

nThey only occupied a corner.

n

n

nFurthermore, the ratio wasn’t 1:1

n

n

nKlein kept the base and took out a unit of sand.

n

n

nHualala!

n

n

nThe square sand suddenly expanded.

n

n

nIt formed a small sand dune.

n

n

nAs expected…

n

n

nKlein didn’t dwell on this matter.

n

n

nNext, he tried the manufacturing function!

n

n

n“Open the manufacturing panel.”

n

n

nThe interface changed.

n

n

nOrdinary Spear (Iron) : Wood 4

/2, Iron Block 2

/1

n

n

nMaterials met.

n

n

nOrdinary Iron Spear selected.

n

n

nConfirm forging!

n

n

nSystem notification: Wood-2, Iron Block-1

n

n

nSystem notification: Ordinary Spear (Iron) successfully forged.

n

n

nA short spear about 1.5 meters long appeared in Klein’s hand.

n

n

nThe body of the spear was a rough wooden stick.

n

n

nThe spearhead was made of iron.

n

n

nOrdinary Spear (Iron) : A brand new spear that has never seen blood before. It’s estimated to be 1.5 meters long. With it, you can deal with some weak crypt creatures.

n

n

n“Not bad.”

n

n

nKlein gestured a few times.

n

n

nIt didn’t feel good to the touch, but its weight was appropriate.

n

n

nPfft! Pfft! Pfft!

n

n

nHe aimed at the earth wall and stabbed it more than thirty times.

n

n

nHe hadn’t had any professional training, so he lacked knowledge in this area.

n

n

nHe could only adjust it bit by bit.

n

n

nAfter finding a pose that he thought felt good, he would strengthen his training to ensure that he had a certain level of proficiency.

n

n

nFrom the moment he began digging, Klein understood at least one thing.

n

n

nThe soil couldn’t withstand digging.

n

n

nIt wouldn’t be surprising if a crypt creature suddenly appeared from the side.

n

n

nAnd to open the runic base, it would take a few seconds.

n

n

nIf he was closer, he wouldn’t be able to hide in time.

n

n

nKlein put away his short spear and thought of the other players. He wondered how their progress was.

n

n

nHe opened a chat channel.

n

n

nFirst, he checked the world channel.

n

n

n“Where did the excavated soil go?”

n

n

n“Pay attention. The runic base can be used as an interspatial ring.”

n

n

n“I dug it out. It’s dark inside. I didn’t dare to go in. I just threw a rock in, but there was no sound at all.”

n

n

n“That black membrane seems to be soundproof. How terrifying!”

n

n

n“Who can save me! Mom, I want to go home!”

n

n

nHe looked at the regional channel again.

n

n

n“I dug to the right and it’s all black. What should I do next?”

n

n

n“I made a new discovery. I can’t change the direction during the excavation process!”

n

n

n“Brother, the next time we meet, everyone raise their shovels with both hands. That means we’re on the same side, okay?”

n

n

n“I’m so hungry. I haven’t eaten anything all day and was sent here. Can anyone spare me some food?”

n

n

nA small group of people stood rooted to the ground as they looked around.

n

n

nFor the time being, no one mentioned digging the second catacomb.

n

n

nOr rather, the fellows who had dug the second catacomb were all like Klein, silent.

n

n

nKlein observed for a moment and gained some information.

n

n

nNot only could the black membrane block movement of the next catacomb, one couldn’t hear anything either.

n

n

nThis information was rather important.

n

n

nIf there was any sound from the excavation, the crypt creatures would come when they heard the sound and guard the exit. There was no way to play.

n

n

n“Which direction should I dig in next?”

n

n

nKlein exited the group chat. The subsequent adventures would be much safer.

n

n

nKlein first looked at the tunnel he had just dug.

n

n

nUnknowingly, the tunnel had been sealed by soil.

n

n

nTake your eyes back. It’s impossible to dig here. Don’t waste your energy.

n

n

nAs expected…

n

n

nKlein checked the other directions in turn.

n

n

nHe didn’t look up. He couldn’t go up anyway. If there was something good, it would make him uncomfortable.

n

n

nContinue digging to the right. There’s still good luck. There’s a bag of expired spicy sticks inside that can satisfy your hunger.

n

n

nThere are flying snakes in the catacombs behind. If you want to become their food, feel free to try.

n

n

nDig down. There’s a copper box at the bottom. There’s a surprise inside. It’s best to dig close to the corner so that you won’t fall and hurt yourself.

n

n

nThere’s nothing in the catacombs at the front. You’ll waste your effort.

n

n

nThere was no doubt.

n

n

nThe best choice was to dig down.

n

n

nThere was a copper box at the bottom!

n

n

nWater and bread directly burst out of the wooden box. What would be in the copper box?

n
