Chapter 267: Ore Vein No. 6

On his way out of the front hall, Chi Yao casually clicked on the task information of Paradise to check.

[Hunter has triggered the side quest: Mineral Problem]

Difficulty level: LV.5~? ?

Task introduction: King Tonino Carlo of the Kingdom of Tyria asked the eldest prince Tonino Harvey to deal with the output problem of the No. 6 ore vein.

Task information: Assist Tonino Harvey to solve the output problem of the No. 6 ore vein.

Task deadline: three days.

Task reward: Gain the appreciation of Tonino Carlo and obtain the status of a senior member of the World Government camp.

Failure penalty: Tonino Carlo's favorability -100 points

As always, the introduction of the reincarnation paradise style, in addition to the clear rewards and penalties, the intelligence information of the task itself is quite brief, and you need to explore and develop it yourself.

Chi Yao took a quick look and found that the evaluation criteria for this ordinary side quest are different from the main quest, and the difficulty of the task can no longer be judged by the effect of the punishment.

Chi Yao had a plan in mind, and immediately walked towards the mansion where Tonino Harvey was. If he wanted to know the details of the mission, it would be most convenient to find the current person in charge of the No. 6 mine.

It must be said that the Tyrian Palace covers a large area. With Chi Yao's current agility, it took him more than ten minutes to reach Tonino Harvey's inverted bowl-shaped mansion.

The mansion has a strange shape, more like a modern reinforced concrete building. In the Tyrian Palace, this kind of strange building seems to be everywhere, and each style is completely different, just like an exhibition hall at the World Expo, each building has its own unique style.

The guard at the door saw Chi Yao coming, and immediately opened the door and made a "please" salute.

"Your Highness, the Second Prince, His Highness, the First Prince, has informed us in advance. When you see you, please go to the reception room and wait."

Chi Yao nodded, without saying much, and came to the door of the reception room under the guidance of a guard.

After the guard brought Chi Yao in, he explained the situation and bowed and left.

"His Highness the Great Prince is handling affairs in the study. Please wait here for a moment."

Chi Yao walked into the reception room and observed the results inside. In the middle was a large oval conference table. Around the conference table were sixteen chairs arranged in sequence. The decoration and furniture style were quite modern.

However, this is not strange in the world view of One Piece. After all, there are more bizarre islands and corresponding bizarre buildings in One Piece.

Bang——

Twenty minutes later, Tonino Harvey opened the door of the reception room and walked in, saying with a little apology on his face.

"Second brother, I'm sorry. I was just handling the affairs that my father gave me. I've been waiting for a long time."

Chi Yao sat on the side and said with a slight smile.

"It didn't take long. The affairs you just handled were about the No. 6 ore vein, right?"

Tonino Harvey was a little surprised. He didn't expect Chi Yao to know about this, and then he reacted immediately.

"How do you know?"

"Well - did my father tell you about this?"

Chi Yao nodded and chose to speak directly, which would be beneficial to the future cooperation between the two.

"Yes, my father also asked me to help you deal with the output problem of the No. 6 mine. But I have been adventuring at sea for the past two years and I don't know much about domestic affairs."

"I remember that the No. 6 mine is one of the largest mines in the country? It has been operating very stably. I wonder what happened?"

Hearing that Chi Yao was here to help him solve the problem, Tonino Harvey smiled, walked forward, patted Chi Yao on the shoulder and said.

"My father asked you to help me? That's great. If it's you, the 'Ashes of Thunder', who helps, we might be able to solve the problem!"

Chi Yao felt a little abnormal when Tonino Harvey patted his shoulder. The other party had a great causal weight and was very powerful, which was very similar to the feeling of Tonino Carlo.

Although he was not as powerful as King Tonino Carlo himself, the strength of the prince in front of him was probably at the level of the second level.

But Tonino Harvey's performance did not match his strength, and he had no habit of training or even fighting.

Tonino Harvey's strength was well concealed by his appearance, and Chi Yao also discovered the abnormality by relying on his special fate connection perception the moment the other party touched him.

Excluding the possibility that the other party was disguised as gentle and gentle, it is very likely that Tonino Harvey's strength was not his own, but was given by Tonino Carlo in some way.

Chi Yao had some thoughts in his mind, but he still suppressed them and said.

"Brother, that title is too... cough, let's just talk about what happened to the No. 6 mine?"

Tonino Harvey's face fell, and he sighed before continuing.

"Three months ago, at a depth of about 1,000 meters in the deep section of the No. 6 ore vein, a senior miner who was working deep in the mine said that he heard a strange sound while working, similar to the sound of 'clicking'."

"But after exploration, nothing abnormal was found."

"We didn't care at the time, we just thought it was the sound of underground ore, but we guessed wrong."

"Two months ago, a monster in the form of red ants began to appear in various areas below 800 meters in the deep section of the No. 6 mine. They looked like ants with red bodies magnified dozens of times. Each red ant was nearly one meter long and could spit fire, so we called it the fire ant."

"These fire ants attacked the miners as soon as they appeared. Father arranged for the army to help the surviving miners evacuate the No. 6 mine safely. The fire ants did not choose to pursue, but stayed in the area below 800 meters underground."

"After some experiments, we I have a general understanding of the habits of the fire ants. They will protect the mines and expel foreign organisms. Because they feed on high-quality round sun stones above level 2, their activity zone will not be higher than the mine area 800 meters deep. "

"The quality of round sun stones in the mines above 800 meters is not what they need. This is rare good news. After the experiment, we found that there is no risk at all to continue mining in the area above 680 meters. "

"And the only problem with the No. 6 mine now is that it can no longer mine high-quality round sun stones."

Chi Yao pondered for a while and asked.

"In other words, the problem with the No. 6 mine is actually the ant plague? How strong are those fire ants? How many are there?"

Listening to Chi Yao's question, Tonino Harvey smiled bitterly and said.

"The individual strength of the fire ants is very strong. A single one has a pirate level of nearly 100 million berries, and the number is about 500 or more."

The pirate level of nearly 100 million berries is probably about the combat power level of "a white night at this stage", which is still in the upper middle level of the first level.

Chi Yao was a little confused. With Tonino Harvey's strength of at least the second level, and Tonino Carlo's strength of the third level, even if there are a lot of ants, will they not be able to solve this ant plague?

Chi Yao asked, turning the topic to Tonino Carlo.

"Didn't the father say anything?"

Tonino Harvey shook his head and said.

"The father saw the situation of the No. 6 mine not long ago, but just said that it was left to me to solve it."

Chi Yao touched his chin and thought.

'Does Tonino Carlo mean to ignore it for the time being? Or did he simply say that this is a succession test set up for Tonino Harvey? '

One update first.

Ahem, sorry, I overestimated myself. I took the high-speed train for almost 6 hours today and got home at about 9 o'clock. I haven't typed for a long time, so I'm a little rusty (being beaten.JPG).

And my parents urged me several times at night, not to stay up too late, so I'll update it first.

I will type seriously at home tomorrow!
