Chapter 433: New Mining-Related Skills
—–
In my hands there was a big, green-colored stone in the shape of the shell of a turtle. It emanated a strong aura of life attribute, and seemed ancient and rather beautiful in appearance. This was a Turtle Shell Stone, it was very weird, but somehow it was as high as D Grade in quality?!
——
[Turtle Shell Stone (D Grade)]
A special turtle shell-shaped stone imbued with the power of life. Those that touch it and use mana into it are able to absorb its power. Once “consumed”, it can increase the total Lifespan of a person by 10 Days. Additionally, it can heal 50% of total HP.

“Huh?! Is this really a stone? Wow, I gotta be careful with this…” I sighed. If I end up infusing Mana into it, I might activate it without wanting to. I am a ghost so I have no lifespan, it would be a real waste.
I quickly saved the item inside my Inventory, I had 16 of them, so that’s an increase of 160 Days of Lifespan, almost a year! Wow, if I collect more, I could rejuvenate old people, I guess? Maybe these stones are very precious despite their total grade being lower. I suppose quality and rarity don’t come together with usefulness most of the time, huh…

[White Silver Ore (A Grade)]
A precious metal, white silver is several times more powerful than normal silver, capable of absorbing mana and reinforce itself, shape around easily, and turn into beautiful jewelry that can enchant somebody’s magic power greatly if handled correctly. In most societies, it is more valuable than gold.
—–
[Magical Gold Ore (B Grade)]
A precious metal, magical gold is a special variant of gold that has a grater affinity with magic of all sorts. It can meld its shape easily and reinforce itself. Alongside this, it is good for all kinds of magic items and accessories due to its incredible amount of magic conductivity of most common elements, fire, wind, light, and lightning.
—–
[Rainbow Crystal (C Grade)]
A precious crystal of rainbow color, it shines with various colors and is highly valuated in most societies, it is so beautiful that its mesmerizing appearance can leave people enchanted by its brilliance. It is a precious magical jewel that can be used for a variety of purposes, infusing mana might bring many elements at the same time depending on its color, so it must be first cut into pieces and separated to be used properly. It can replace Spirit Stones and is often better and more durable.

“Oooh! I am rich with this, aren’t I?!” I laughed.
Of course, I wasn’t rich yet… But it was certainly a nice bounty. Silver and Gold can be sold or simply kept it to craft some amazing accessories, although they’re not that good with armor or weapons as those metals are softer than others, the crystal seems good enough for a multi-elemental boost magic accessory perhaps.
Ding!
[You learned the [Mining: Lv1] Skill]
[You acquired the [Greedy Miner: Lv1] Title Skill!]
“Eh?! Greedy Miner?!” I asked in annoyance. “Well… whatever, they’re both good, I believe.”
I finally got the Skills I wanted anyways, after mining over 100 meters deep into the ground, I was bound to acquire them anyways! Although now I am beginning to get worried I might had strived a bit too far from my original group, I should get back there… But of course, let’s check the Skills first.
—–
[Mining: Lv1]
A Skill learned after Mining a ton of Ores and Stones, and anything related with Mining with a Pickaxe. This Skill can only be activated while using Mining Tools. Enhances Mining Speed and Attack Power while using Mining Tools by +20% with each Skill Level. Additionally, there’s a small chance (5%) to find high rarity ores while mining.
—–
[Greedy Miner: Lv1]
You’re an insanely greedy miner that has mined hundreds of ores in less than a day, due to your greediness, your ability to mine has increased. You can naturally guide yourself better within mines and caves, and you might be able to spot special ores with your senses. Additionally, your Mining Efficiency is increased by +20% with each Title Skill Level, and there’s a small chance (5%) to find high rarity ores while mining.
—–
Oh well, this is indeed nice. With these two Skills, I got a 10% chance to find rare ores, huh? When did I get these Skills? Maybe it activated beforehand… Wait, this world isn’t a game though, how is it possible it increases the chances to find rare ores? Does it simply guide me towards the rare ones or something manipulates reality and creates them by a small chance? …Ah, I shouldn’t overthink this to be honest.
“Well now, where the heck am I?” I wondered, looking around and finding myself within this vast cave. I looked up to hear the voice of those I left behind above.
For now, I just created a Phantom Familiar and sent it up, as I wanted to explore this place for a tiny bit before departing. The entire structure of this place seemed rather immense and also quite beautiful… But what am I supposed to do here though?
Maybe I should try to mine some more…
I walked into the lake and suddenly felt rather relaxed by the cold water flowing through it, only to find two enormous eyes glaring me through the water.
“Huh?”
SPLAAASH!
“GLUOOP!”
Suddenly, an enormous creature emerged. It resembled a giant salamander, an amphibian creature with a soft and slimy skin, large gills, and a long tail with a sharp hook. It had sharp teeth and a long and slimy tongue.
—–
[Giant Venomous Cave Salamander: Lv55] [Rank: B] [Status: Hungry]
—–
“Level 55?!” I asked in shock, as an enormous tail suddenly sweep through the floor, hitting me strongly.
BAAAM!
However, instead of being thrown away, the tail easily slip through my body, as I saw the floor below me crack away.
“Oh, I guess as long as you don’t imbue mana into your physical attacks, you can’t really damage me… Hehehe…”
BBZZZZZ…!
And then, I turned into a swarm of flies and attacked the salamander.
