Chapter 403: Allocation Of Mining Areas
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Mo Wuji discovered that he was the last to arrive. He was a little speechless; he had already chose to come especially early, but he had still been the last. Could this people have reported here even before the sun came up?
Mo Wuji’s guess was really not bad; these people really came before daybreak.
”You’re new? Why are you so late?” The one speaking was a middle-aged man sitting at the head seat. Mo Wuji was a new face, and was even the last to arrive, it was hard for him not to get noticed.
Mo Wuji saw that this person was at the highest seat and could guess that he should be the Longevity Sect’s sect head. This fella placed great importance in his appearance; his long hair had been tied into a neat cultivator’s bun, making him look very spirited. In terms of cultivation, Mo Wuji could feel that this fella was even higher than the Space Wolf King.
”Mo Wuji, this is our Longevity Sect’s Sect Head Feng. Why aren’t you paying your respects?” Lang Hao hurriedly scolded from the side. He started to have some regrets, he should not have brought Mo Wuji in. Previously, he saw that Mo Wuji was very astute and he thought that Mo Wuji would be a very capable person. However, he would never have expected that Mo Wuji would be the last to arrive.
After scolding Mo Wuji, Lang Hao anxiously bowed and explained to the sect head, ”Sect Head Feng, Mo Wuji is a newcomer. Because he entered the broken void by accident, his cultivation is rather low, just at the intermediate Worldly Immortal Stage. I saw that he was rather intelligent, so I brought him to Longevity Sect to help do some promotions for our sect.”
Sect Head Feng nodded slightly, his gaze landed on Mo Wuji. When everyone else in the house heard that Mo Wuji was only in the intermediate Worldly Immortal Stage, their lips all curved into a smile. A mere Worldly Immortal, had no business here; the only thing he could do was to help promote Longevity Sect.
Mo Wuji hurriedly clasped his fists, ”Replying the sect head, I am Mo Wuji, a newcomer. Because it’s my first time, I didn’t know that I was late.”
Sect Head Feng looked at Mo Wuji with a hint of interest as he spoke indifferently, ”You’re not late. You just came slightly later than the rest.”
Mo Wuji only needed to look at Sect Head Feng’s expression and to hear Sect Head Feng’s words to know that the sect head had misunderstood him. The sect head must definitely have thought that he was merely giving an excuse, when in reality, he really didn’t know that he was late. However, he could only shut his mouth when facing this sort of things; the more he explained, the worse it would get.
Sect Head Feng did not continue to care about Mo Wuji, but spoke loudly, ”Since everyone is here, I will now announce the mining areas that our Longevity Sect has obtained.”
The house instantly went silent; everyone perked their years to listen to Sect Head Feng’s words.
Because Mo Wuji was a newbie, he wasn’t familiar with the group organisation within Longevity Sect. Perhaps it was because Lang Hao didn’t consider Mo Wuji as part of the main force for Longevity Sect, which was why much of the details weren’t told to Mo Wuji. Now, everyone seemed to be focused on the sect head’s words, so he could only follow suit.
Sect Head Feng’s gaze unintentionally swept across Mo Wuji. When he saw Mo Wuji’s attentive look, he suddenly felt like laughing. Actually, with Mo Wuji’s cultivation being at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4, he really didn’t need to listen.
”This time, we have gained the rights to enter four mining areas. They are Mining Area 9087C, divided into ratios of 5:2:3; Mining Area 8762D, divided into the ratios of 4:2:3; Mining Area 3104E, divided into the ratios of 4:3:3; Mining Area 5109F, divided into the ratios of 2:3:5.”
Following the end of Sect Head Feng’s speech, the house instantly got lively. Many of the people were applauding and patting each other’s shoulders, seemingly raring to go and start work.
”Eh, I can’t believe that we even managed get into Mining Area C. I came too late.” The guy standing right in front of Mo Wuji sighed.
Mo Wuji hurriedly clasped his fists and asked, ”This Dao Friend, can I ask why you said you came too late? And what do the letters on the mining areas mean?”
This cultivator was clearly not in a good mood. His eyes swept across Mo Wuji, and when he recalled that Mo Wuji was only a Worldly Immortal, he couldn’t even be bothered to answer.
Mo Wuji already understood his situation Yesterday, Lang Hao didn’t even tell him many things; clearly these fellas did not even treat him as a member of their Longevity Sect. He’s merely here as a condiment.
Just as Mo Wuji was about to ask another person, a cultivator not too far away explained, ”Those that came early are those at the front. They will be the ones allocated the better mining areas like C and D.”
After Mo Wuji expressed his thanks, he continued to ask, ”Then, can I ask, what’s the meaning behind the ratios?”
Luckily, this cultivator did not seem annoyed by Mo Wuji’s questions, ”Let’s say Mining Area 9087C is divided according to the ratio of 5:2:3. It means that if you dig 10 pieces of blackstone, 5 of them will go to Half Immortal Domain, 2 will go to Longevity Sect, while the remaining 3 will go to you. The higher the district, the more popular it is.”
That didn’t sound right ah. Mo Wuji asked doubtfullt, ”This friend, just now the sect head said that Mining Area 5109F is divided to 2:3:5. Wouldn’t that be much better than in Mining Area C? We could keep half of the blackstone to ourselves?”
”Hehe, you’re a newcomer so you naturally don’t know this. Even though your personal ratio in Mining Area F is the highest, the mineral content within the mine is low it is hard to dig. Even if you get to keep 50%, you might not be able to get as much as Mining Area C. In Longevity Sect, the earliest people will stand at the front, and they would get allocated the better mining areas.” The cultivator chuckled as he explained.
Mo Wuji finally came to an understanding, no wonder why these fellas wanted to come so early. This was based on their own personal benefits ah. If he was the first to arrive, then wouldn’t he be allocated to Mining Area C?
Sect Head Feng waited till the discussions died down before continuing, ”This time, 32 people will be allocated to Mining Area 9087C. The first 16 people can choose your pairs.”
As he finished speaking, Mo Wuji say 16 people coming from the left and right side. These 16 people chose their own pairs, forming a group of 32 people. Thereafter, they each took their bracelets and imprinted it in the area in front of Sect Head Feng. Then, they left the house.
Mo Wuji also understood another thing: Being the last to come did not mean that he would have no hope. As long as you knew the people who came early, you could form a team with him and leave together. When he first arrived in Half Immortal Domain, he saw two people digging for blackstone. He could guess that each team should be comprised of two people.
