<h4>Chapter 550: It Isn’t About The Money</h4>


    Thirteenth Fragrance did not expect that the starter pack for the newbies in this game was quite generous.


    He just entered the game withoutpleting anything yet.


    He had not fought any monsters,pleted any dungeon or any missions, even more so that he had not met his faction leader. Compared to other games, he probably just created a character and was in the beginner stage of adjusting the keyboard controls and changing the horizontal movement key from QE to AD.


    Then, the group was already given a vi from the senior yer.


    They received the house key of the residence they were staying in now.


    Thirteenth Fragrance: ???


    He suddenly had a sense of doubt… Could this be a house management game?


    Is it the type that does missions to earn money to buy furniture and then focuses on house decoration?


    “Don’t overthink it.” Longjing Tea knew what he was thinking at a nce.


    He exined directly, “You have to thank the boss. These houses are the benefits that the boss has fought for us. Of course, we have to thank Suuankou and his sister. You should know each other, right?”


    “Lin Yiyi and her brother?” Thirteenth Fragrance immediately understood, “Ah, I know them as well.”


    So they came to this world too.


    Their current primary career was content creation, and their sub-career was being a streamer. Compared with Suuankou, Sister Hyphen was still closer to the two of them.


    The one who was more familiar with Ah Dian was Suuankou. When she did not make her debut, she was still Suuankou’s admin.


    “Thanks to the siblings for the sessfulpletion of their main mission and the perfect defeat of the boss monster Ghindaio, we now have a loyal and wealthy boss who is willing to support us, covering expenses for travel and amodations.”


    “This brother is pretty generous!” eximed Husky.


    “Of course, Nieusel did not provide the house at this ce. Originally, the money he gave was just for renting. But the surrounding environment is not bad, so we bought you a vi with a little extra money.”


    Delicious Wind Goose said, “We have also made some money recently, and our financial situation is not so tight.”


    Huh, you’re saying the surrounding environment is not bad?


    Thirteenth Fragrance’s expression was slightly subtle.


    When he first entered the Mist Continent, he was choked by the pungent smell in the air.


    “This ce is called Cinder Barren. You should have seen it on the mission page. Of course, it’s not the red and cknd que.”


    As Longjing Tea said, he unfolded a cowhide map from his arms.


    He pointed to a dark red basin area, “Look, it’s right here.


    “I know what you want to say. The air here is quite poor. That’s right. It’s because this is not a residential area, in essence. This is an explorationyer, which is eighteen kilometers underground. It isn’t the urbanyer where the residents of the underground city usually live.


    “During the first exploration, this ce was once flooded by magma. The mining area originally built around it was alsopletely destroyed by theva. It wasn’t until fifty yearster that someone conducted a second exploration… That person was the big shot which provided us with supplies, Digger Nieusel.”


    Longjing Tea pointed to a corner not far from the dark red basin.


    “You may enter the mine through here and go down another 80 meters. This is the new mining area Nieusel discovered. He named it ‘Misero Excavation Site’ – Misero is his uncle’s name.”


    “Excavation site?”


    Thirteenth Fragrance repeated, “Is this for us to mine?”


    He knew that the resource collection profession was profitable.


    However, it would be pointless for this other world to be like a second life if all he could do was mine aimlessly without the chance to learn spells, purify nightmares, and battle and defeat monsters.


    In fact, he could endure loneliness. At worst, he should exercise his body and increase his Strength and Constitution. He saw a post on the forum that exercise could raise attributes.


    But what about Ah Dian and Husky, who were with him?


    With their current bodies, could they survive mining?


    After all, resource collection could not be aplished by merely pointing at it and clicking it with the mouse and keyboard.


    Going down the mine was aborious job. Moreover, this fantasy world could be dangerous, with monsters appearing out of nowhere.


    Seeing his unwillingness, Longjing Tea just smiled mysteriously.


    “Do you know why we can buy you a house?”


    “Why?”


    Thirteenth Fragrance was indeed curious.


    The house they lived in was not an ordinary personal residence. On the contrary, the amenities provided were varied andprehensive. It was even a two-story vi with some furniture. Whether the walls, floors, tables and chairs, bedrooms or study rooms, even the “gas pipes” and “water pipes” were installed — of course, this world did not call the pipes by those names.


    Apart from the empty study room and theck of decorations and ornaments, the only possible disadvantage was poor air quality. It was a bit dry outside, and the smell was a little pungent. However, there was no doubt that this ce was already the top-notch house in the city.


    This vi had four bedrooms. Even if all three of them resided at this ce, there was one empty room left for someone who wouldeter.


    As far as the present was concerned, Husky could be regarded as a girl.


    However, his essence was an uncle, after all… In order not to disturb Ah Dian, Husky lived on the first floor with Thirteenth Fragrance in the end. On the other hand, Ah Dian went to live on the second floor.


    In their n, she would always live on the first floor if the fourthpanion was a female. If the new joiner were a male, Husky would go to the second floor.


    —Fake girls were still better than men.


    However, this luxurious residence did not seem like a free gift. Or it did not seem like a ce people could afford it casually.


    Thinking of this, Thirteenth Fragrance’s heart tightened.


    Is there a mortgage?


    Do you want us to mine to make up for the fees?


    While he was thinking, Longjing Tea continued exining, “The big shot which provided us with travel expenses also gave us a license for personal excavation. Mining from the excavation site he discovered can be done without paying taxes. In other words, we can bring away the things we dug out personally.”


    It’s like a botanical garden where you take the apples and plums you pick right away.


    Thirteenth Fragrance had realized something.


    That would be nice.


    Maybe I can even save up for a start-up fund.


    Being a magician takes money. That stupid dog, Husky, does not seem like someone who can earn money. Don’t sell yourself out identally.


    It would be a good idea to let the three of them learn spells to get through the early stage if they could mine and deposit start-up funds.


    Seeing that he was a little moved, Longjing Tea finally added, “Of course, the most important thing is…


    “—Misero Excavation Side is a rich gold mine.”


    As they chatted to this point, a car just passed by outside the window.


    Longjing Tea pointed out the window with his chin, motioning Thirteenth Fragrance to look out.


    The creature pulling the cart was like a colossal, dark-skinned rhinoceros. It was about two meters tall and looked like a rough-skinned and thick-skinned type. However, it appeared pretty docile. There were about thirteen dark-skinned and heavily armed men guarding them.


    The moment Thirteenth Fragrance saw this thing, he felt that the “sense of another world” had finallye.


    Then, heid his eyes over to observe it.


    Behind it, there was a metal carriage being pulled that was as heavy as a truck… the kind that the ground would tremble as it traversed the road.


    Even on the Misty Continent, when pedestrians sensed the approaching behemoth, they immediately stopped talking and hurriedly moved aside. In this respect, it was remarkably simr.


    The metal carriage with an upward opening behind the behemoth was fully loaded with gold ore, so much so that even with the naked eye, one could see a faint golden color.


    Through visual inspection, there must be about ten tons.


    It should be the output of this group of people in a day.


    Thirteenth Fragrance stared straight at them in the eye.


    “I thought about it, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with mining for a few months.”


    He immediately changed his words, “It doesn’t matter if it’s gold or not. The main thing is to exercise our body. If the wizard is too vulnerable and gets ambushed in the back row, it will be bad, don’t you think so?”


    Longjing Tea responded with a serious face, “You are right—


    “However, after you dig for a few days and get the start-up funds, you still have to pay back the rent we posted for you.”


    “Next time, definitely, next time for sure…”
