Chapter 266: Chapter 234: Li Wenxi’s Amazing Ability (4,000 words!)_2

Personal mining can result in multiple critical hits?

“Hmm… 10 times?” Xu Xin guessed a somewhat reasonable number.

“Guess higher!” Li Wenxi’s smile grew broader.

The other three exchanged glances.

times is still not enough?

“Don’t joke around, Wenxi, just tell us. We don’t have that much time.” Xu Xin said helplessly.

“Hmm…” Li Wenxi pouted and said, “Alright, I’ll tell you, my critical hit can go up to one! Hundred! Times!”

One hundred times?!

The other three’s eyes widened immediately.

“Wenxi, are you really that amazing?” Qi Xuefei exclaimed in awe, “Each time getting a hundred pieces?!”

“Hehe, right!” Li Wenxi lifted her chin proudly.

“The probability of a hundred times critical hit must be low, right?” Ji Chaoyang was also shocked for a moment but quickly realized that the probability of such a situation must be very low.

“Yeah… it’s not high. For a hundred times critical hit, I’ve been mining every day, swinging the pickaxe countless times, and it’s only happened three times.” Li Wenxi held up two fingers, “The first time was during the newbie protection period when I collected stones and got a hundred pieces. The second time was while mining iron ore and got a hundred pieces of green-grade iron ore. The third time was when I was mining black gold ore, one swing spread black gold ore all over the ground!”

So that’s how it is.

Xu Xin recalled how after the rainy season, Li Wenxi suddenly had a lot of black gold; she even considered making a lightning rod for everyone in [The Explorers]. Turns out it was because of the hundred times critical hit that led to an abundance of resources!

“Moreover, it’s not only this hundred times multiplier, it’s just the highest multiplier!” Li Wenxi put away her pickaxe, jumped down from the window sill, “Three times, five times, ten times, twenty times, fifty times, I have a certain chance to trigger them, so combined, it’s not low! Basically, every four or five swings of the pickaxe, I’ll have one multiple critical hit!”

… Too powerful!

This is simply outrageous.

No wonder she’s never short of any minerals, besides being able to find mining spots, her mining efficiency is unmatched.

Also, if a small mine can only yield a thousand pieces of iron ore, under Li Wenxi’s ability, she can extract far more than a thousand pieces!

“Is this ability shareable? Can others use it?” Xu Xin immediately asked.

If it can be shared, a mining team could produce such critical hits, then this ability…

“Cannot be fully shared.” Li Wenxi thought for a moment before saying this.

“What do you mean? Can it be partially shared?”

“Yes, people around me can have some of my critical abilities, but the probability is much lower than mine. Actually, the special pickaxe provides a more stable drop rate.” Li Wenxi explained, then sat back beside Qi Xuefei, hugging her arm, “Sister Xuefei, you should be influenced by me right now. If you’re lucky, you might also get a hundred pieces in one swing!”

“This…”

All three were stunned and looked at each other.

This ability is indeed very strong, strong enough that in the future, they might not lack any ore.

They can easily find mineral deposits, extract with great efficiency, and even have a chance to obtain higher-grade materials during smelting, almost like a simple industrial system.

Also, with more quantity, more smelting attempts, they won’t lack high-grade materials!

Now this is truly having a mine at home!

It not only meets their own needs but also potentially makes everyone wealthier together. This ability is too strong!

Under the astonished gaze of the three, Li Wenxi felt a bit embarrassed: “Why are you looking at me like that? I’m embarrassed! But don’t worry, as long as I’m here, we won’t lack any metal ores. Oh, by the way, I can only survey metal ores, but the mining critical rate applies to any minable resources!”

All three expressed shock and delight at Li Wenxi’s ability.

This ability can truly speed up their future development significantly and even equip all members in region 188 with metal weapons and armor, as well as exterior armaments for their treehouses!

When other regions might not even be able to produce metal weapons and armor, people in region 188 can each be equipped with high-grade metal gear, overwhelming other regions in terms of equipment!

“Now that I’ve finished, it’s your turn, Xu Xin. I’m super curious about your ability.” Li Wenxi held Keke while Keke made whimpering noises under her caressing hands, looking at Xu Xin with anticipation.

The other two also immediately turned to look at him.

They all wanted to know, what exactly is Xu Xin’s so-called strongest ability among all the regions?

Xu Xin decided to reveal the abilities he currently possesses. His abilities don’t seem very strong, and he might acquire new abilities in the future, so there’s no need to hide.

“I have three abilities in total: identification ability, map privileges, and as you all know, alchemy.”

“Three?” Ji Chaoyang’s pupils contracted.

“Three abilities?!” Qi Xuefei just leaned back on the sofa, but now she sat up straight, staring at him.

“Oh my god!” Li Wenxi also covered her mouth.

All three were shocked by Xu Xin’s words.

Xu Xin introduced these three abilities one by one.

After the introduction, the three remained speechless for a long time.

“I’m convinced.” Ji Chaoyang breathed out a deep breath, smiling bitterly, “No wonder you always manage to stay ahead of me.”

“It’s all thanks to having a cheat, nothing to boast about.” Xu Xin waved his hand, still having some self-awareness.

“Not at all! We all have special abilities, and you managing to rank first in all regions is truly remarkable!” Li Wenxi didn’t like that Xu Xin was belittling himself and argued.

“Right, these abilities are also part of your strength.” Qi Xuefei agreed with Li Wenxi.

“No need to be modest. Among all of us, who hasn’t relied on special abilities to get to where we are today?” Ji Chaoyang shook his head, “These are your abilities, not cheats.”

“Who knows?” Xu Xin was still doubtful of this point, he never considered the so-called “creator privileges” to be his true abilities, “We can’t overly rely on these abilities. This world could grant us these abilities and could take them away at any time.”

“No, it’s precisely for this reason that we should maximize the use of these abilities that others don’t have and strengthen ourselves as quickly as possible. If one day the abilities disappear, by then, we will be strong enough to handle any situation even without them.” Ji Chaoyang didn’t agree with Xu Xin’s concern.

“Indeed, let’s turn these abilities into our true strength.” Xu Xin nodded, “My alchemy can use blue-grade fruits to create potions that permanently enhance physical abilities. After returning, I’ll prioritize our explorers in using them.”

“Yes, but still, make sure to create the coordinates first. Strengthening the group connection is more important than individual strength improvement right now.”

“No problem, it can be done simultaneously.”

Xu Xin wasn’t worried about materials at all now. With a little rich lady around, he didn’t lack alchemical materials at all, he felt like he could gamble with success rates that aren’t even high.

“Your abilities are all so astonishing,” Ji Chaoyang lowered his head and rubbed his temples. He truly didn’t expect that the abilities of people in the team would be so strong, and it seemed these abilities were meant for the team.

“So now, you’re the only one left who hasn’t shared your ability.” Xu Xin looked at Ji Chaoyang.

“Yes, yes, what’s your ability?” Li Wenxi chimed in.

Ji Chaoyang raised his head, his eyes inexplicably filled with a somewhat blurry, almost glazed-over look, even with a hint of light flickering, appearing as if he was casting magic.

Xu Xin squinted his eyes slightly, while Li Wenxi, alarmed by his gaze, clung tightly to Qi Xuefei’s arm beside her.

“What’s wrong with you?” Qi Xuefei was also startled, frowning as she asked.

Ji Chaoyang’s eyes gradually returned to normal, exhaling a long breath, his face turning somewhat weary.

“This is… your ability?” Seeing Ji Chaoyang back to normal, Xu Xin immediately asked.

“Yes, this is my ability, [Prophet].”

Prophet?!

… Judging by the name, isn’t this the most exaggerated ability?!
