Living room.

　　Yi Qiu looked at the boiling wolf meat while he thought about something else.

　　The cousin who barged in previously was called Zong Rong, the daughter of Yi Qiu’s third uncle. Yi Qiu’s third uncle was the third son of Dazhu Village Grandpa, he went out fishing since he was young and it was said that he was enjoying a good life. However, Yi Qiu had never seen him.

　　Since his parents died, the person Yi Qiu was closest to was the Grandpa of Dazhu Village. He was quite familiar with this cousin as during the exam this year, she entered H Province University in C City. Thus, she would occasionally come to see Yi Qiu.

　　H Province University was the best university in Province H, it could be ranked in the entire country. Naturally, getting into such a university was something that people were happy about. Zong Rong’s father was really rich too, so naturally they held a banquet. Although Yi Qiu didn’t pay attention to such things, he found out about all these from the family group chat. 

　　This cousin was actually younger than Yi Qiu, but sometimes one’s seniority wasn’t connected to age.

　　As she was on holiday, Zong Rong invited her high school friends to play in City C. After settling them at City C, Zong Rong came to see Yi Qiu.

　　Speaking of which, Yi Qiu’s house had 2 keys. Grandpa took one back and after he passed away, no one sent it back. Last week, Yi Qiu’s second uncle brought the key over, but as Yi Qiu was in the dungeon and the call couldn’t go through, second uncle gave it to Zong Rong. Zong Rong came to return the key to Yi Qiu too.

　　After knocking for a long time and with no one answering the phone, Zong Rong thought that Yi Qiu was out. She was prepared to leave the key and a message before returning to the hotel but when she entered, she heard movement inside and then…

　　Which was why when one was doing those indescribable things, it was best to lock the door…

　　…

　　…

　　…

　　He shook his bald head and stopped thinking about these things. Yi Qiu took out the dungeon card of the Barren Gold Mine.

　　The Dog-head Man minions were busy for a whole day. Yi Qiu picked up 25 ores from his bag. Originally, it shouldn’t have fit, but since it was of the same shape and could be stacked, it was barely able to fit.

　　The ores were all of different shapes and sizes, but when in the inventory, they were similar pictures and thus they could be stacked. Logically though… it was mentioned in the Integrated Network Newbie Manual, but Yi Qiu’s current level of intelligence didn’t allow him to understand it…

　　Different from the ones he picked up before, the ores had exact stats. For example, the highest quality gold ore in his bag:

　　Small gold ore:

　　Quality: Clutter

　　Weight: 0.41 kg

　　What was worth mentioning was that it was the only gold ore that he acquired…

　　The Barren Gold Mine, as expected from its name. Yi Qiu recycled the copper ores and then he obtained 24 Integrated Network Coins from it. If ores in real life could be recycled, Yi Qiu probably wouldn’t lack any more Integrated Network Coins.

　　However, that obviously didn’t exist. Although the ores were no different from the ones in real life, the Integrated Network didn’t recognize those in real life. Only after appraisal would the Integrated Network recognise it and the fee was relatively expensive. Thus, it was impossible to use the main world resources to exchange for Integrated Network Coins.

　　Speaking of which, Yi Qiu’s Integrated Network coins were enough to exchange for a decent gun. But Yi Qiu felt like since he could rely on his strength to beat dungeons, there was no need to spend so much on guns. If he had a chance, it would be good if he went somewhere like Africa to get a gun.

　　Yi Qiu wanted to get an AK47 as it was durable and easy to acquire. It was also quite powerful and if he faced a dungeon he couldn’t win, he would just use his AK47. 

　　As a modern person, Yi Qiu wasn’t too worried about weapon choice. He paid more attention to his own cultivation, but that didn’t mean that he wouldn’t rely on external strength.

　　Gunfire weapons were indeed really strong.

Cold weapons and gunfire weapons helped to differentiate eras. It referred to when one’s strength was lower but as it went on, the gap wasn’t that large. Gunfire weapons’ strength would become more and more inadequate and one would have to switch to nano weapons and light weapons. But, it was impossible for him to get these on earth. He could only exchange for them from the Integrated Network.

　　Speaking of which, weapons were strong due to the weapons themselves. His own strength belonged to him. This was the same as the ancient swordsman who controlled the sword and those who let the sword control the factions, one focused on cultivation while one focused on borrowing external strength.

　　There was nothing right or wrong, or strong or weak. The universe was so huge, there were many complicated thought processes and each faction had people who brought fame to them.

　　Chinese people said something well, “Three thousand paths”, what did that mean? It meant that there were many paths, one would just walk the path that they wanted to walk!

　　If one loves guns, then one should just use guns, if one likes cannons, then use cannons, the world is so huge and it can accept everything.

　　…

　　…

　　…

　　Yi Qiu opened his inventory, recycling all the random rubbish. He was now left with two chests.

　　Barren Gold Mine – Clearance Chest:

　　Origin: Barren Gold Mine (Elite Difficulty)

　　Quality: Blue

　　Chest level: 5

　　Description: A chest that one can get only after he clears the entire dungeon. Different from basic chests, clearance chests will have chest level, the items from within would be related to the chest level and not the level of the monster that dropped it. Clearance chests do not have related keywords and one can get anything of the same quality as the chest from it.

　　Brown Tooth Boar’s broken copper chest:

　　Quality: White

　　Related phrase of the box: Boar

　　Description: From acorn loved by the Brown Tooth Boar to Agamagan’s fang, all boar related items can be obtained from within… Of course, maybe you need a bit of luck, moreover, the quality of items will not exceed the quality of the box… 

　　As the prayer cooldown hadn’t refreshed, Yi Qiu was not prepared to open the clearance chest. As for the Brown Tooth Boar’s chest, he could open it. Truthfully, it was the best choice if he waited for the cooldown and opened it at the same time.

　　However, Yi Qiu’s hand felt itchy. Ooo. This instinct. Every human who loved to open cases had such genes, experts couldn’t explain why. Such a gene was called the DS gene.

　　Before opening the Brown Tooth Boar’s copper chest, Yi Qiu recalled that he could redeem a chest from the dungeon card.

　　”Will you use order: tribute?”

　　”Yes”

　　”You order Dog-Head Men to hand over their items, you obtained 100 Integrated Network Coins, obtaining Barren Gold Mine chest (White).”

　　”Dog-Head Men morale dropped, digging efficiency lowered, current efficiency: 20/day.”

　　Within the dungeon, the Dog-Head Man minions appeared to be more dejected.

　　Morale dropped? Yi Qiu touched his bald head. Forget it, just sacrifice them, it will reset after a day.

　　”Will you use the order: Sacrifice?”

　　”Yes.”

　　”You sacrificed all the beings in the dungeon, obtaining 550 Integrated Network Experience.”

　　Within Barren Gold Mine dungeon, the Dog-Head Men all turned into white light, very quickly only an empty cave remained in the card.

　　”Will you use the order: Reset?”

　　”Yes.”

　　Yi Qiu looked as the picture on the card shone and then minions began happily jumping around.

　　This was why Dog-Head Men were like girls’ fake breasts; if they had none then just make some?
