We're Rich! Part 2

"..."

"Worked like crazy for 10 hours, and only dug out 2,000 kilograms of grade 8 metal?"

"This mining is even more tiring than forging equipment. The worst part is that this is 10 hours of intense work! My Transcendent Emberfire are almost extinguished."

Ten hours later, Cao Fengqi returned home and lay weakly on the bed.

I'm so tired!

Fortunately, mining is more cost-effective than forging weapons.

Forging weapons can earn you a maximum of fifteen or sixteen level 7 souls in a day, while mining can yield more than twenty level 7 souls per day.

But mining is much more tiring and boring than forging weapons.

"But then again... being able to gather enough souls to upgrade to the Fourth Sequence in just one month by mining is pretty impressive."

"Although it's tiring and tough, the salary is indeed high."

It might not be as profitable as clearing land, but considering the challenges of clearing land and reaching a bottleneck, this level of return is quite good.

Another point is that the Xiaotian Dog and the other Fangelanya Demon can increase their strength by consuming metal.

Next, they can have a buffet here.

Putting everything else aside, increasing one's physical constitution by dozens of points a day should be no problem at all.

"Let them experiment tomorrow..."

"Perhaps the Xiaotian Dog and the 14 Fangelanya Demon can reach the level 8 limit without using the level 9 Gu-Fusing Altar."

"Then... the remaining metal can be used to enhance Gray Feather Moth and Guilou, who are also constitution-type battle pets."

"Using metal to enhance the physical constitution of the Mirage Rat, Nightmare, and Dream-Eyed Butterfly can only improve their physical strength, not their mental power, so there's no need to enhance them."

While the Gu-Fusing Altar can enhance battle pets, its effectiveness is also dependent on the items being fused into it.

Only by placing the corpses of evil spirits and magical beasts into the battle pet can its spiritual power be increased.

Adding metal will improve physical constitution, but it won't increase mental strength.

Unless you have a special soul crystal item.

With that in mind, Cao Fengqi opened the trading platform and bought a waterproof, simple level 4 formation.

This thing isn't worth much; he wants to place it at the entrance of the mine just in case.

Next, he would have to work in that 'dark and gloomy' mine for some time.

"The Xiaotian Dog gained 60 points to Constitution and 2 points to Spirit in one day."

"At this rate, he could reach the level 8 limit in a month."

"The Fangelanya Demon gains 50 points to its constitution every day, and will reach the level 8 limit in about ten days."

"Let's work on it for half a month first. After that, with the 14 Fangelanya Demon and the metal we've acquired to upgrade the Guilou and Gray Feather Moth, we can easily wipe out that group of Three-Eyed Crow and Bloody Scarecrow."

The day passed quickly, Cao Fengqi, watching the Guilou and the Fangelanya Demon feast on a 'buffet' all day, made plans with a smile on his face.

The speed of this improvement is incredibly fast.

Additionally, once the Fangelanya Demon and their companions reach their maximum potential, they can also assist with mining.

Putting everything else aside, there won't be any problem digging up several thousand kilograms more per day.

At the same time, his mining site has also undergone tremendous changes.

The surrounding space was greatly enlarged, and he simply built a small room out of metal, with a table next to it containing drinks and snacks.

On the right is an 8-level forging table, on which are two 8-level equipment pieces that he just forged.

Cao Fengqi disliked owing money, so he finished forging the last two level 8 equipment pieces.

"That's all for today's work, let's take a break!"

Working ten hours a day is Cao Fengqi's limit.

It's not that he doesn't work overtime, but rather that the Transcendent Emberfire within him are not inexhaustible and need to be replenished.

"It's time to meet with Zhiyan again."

Back in his shelter at home, Cao Fengqi saw the message Zhiyan had left for him and smiled slightly.

Perfect timing, one day off per week!

"Come and get your weapons."

After replying to the Zhiyan message, he casually sent another message to Feng Qinglan.

"Son, are you going to Zhiyan's house tomorrow? We can also go to your uncle's house."

"Your uncle has been inviting us over for meals a lot these days, saying he wants to properly thank you; he's missed you so much."

As he stepped out of the room, Cao Jiancheng saw him and began to speak.

"..."

"Can."

Cao Fengqi nodded. "Let's go together tomorrow."

"Alright, let Zhiyan's parents come to your uncle's house for lunch tomorrow. It'll be more lively with more people."

"No problem."

"Cao Fengqi."

Before Cao Fengqi could finish his conversation with his father, Feng Qinglan, dressed in red, appeared at the doorway.

"So fast?"

Upon seeing her arrive, Cao Fengqi tossed her the seven pieces of equipment and weapons he had crafted. "Here, these seven weapons are yours. We're even."

"Nothing to do at home."

Feng Qinglan answered him, then looked at the weapons and equipment he had thrown at her in surprise, pausing slightly. "Seven weapons?"

After receiving Cao Fengqi's message, she assumed he had forged a weapon for her to collect.

But now, she was somewhat stunned as she looked at the seven weapons in front of her.

She was especially surprised when she saw the attributes of these equipment and weapons.

"You forged all of these? You've only been doing this for six days, haven't you?"

"You... you're exaggerating a bit too much, aren't you?"

She exclaimed in disbelief.

She was very knowledgeable about weapon forging, after all, her brother was a Mystic Artificer.

In addition, she also knew that it would take Uncle Hu, the Smelter of their Spark Guild, a week to forge a level 8 weapon.

Yes, one level 8 weapon or piece of equipment can be crafted in a week.

Furthermore, even if a weapon has forging blueprints, it can only reach the Refined level.

Now... 7 Perfect level 8 weapons and equipment.

If these weapons hadn't all been 'custom-made' by their Spark Guild, she would never have believed that he had forged them.

"Don't make a fuss. It's just level 8 weapons and equipment. Anyone can do that."

Seeing her shocked expression, Cao Fengqi slowly spoke.

Thank you so much to user 15433654 for the character summon! Thank you so much, muah!

Thank you so much, Priestess of Faroe Island, for urging me to update! Thank you so much, muah!
