Chapter 41 Diamonds! And Obsidian Magic
"Master, the team you requested to be assembled is ready. Should we ask them to wait a little longer?"
The witch looked at Su He, who was deep in thought, and spoke cautiously in a low voice.
"No need, I'll go to the mine tunnel now."
Su He looked up and heard that the monster team for mining had already assembled. He immediately set off for the mine tunnel to prepare to mine diamonds.
He had only taken a few steps when he was still worried about the situation with Zombie Number One, so he turned around and gave the witch some instructions.
"Keep an eye on Number One while I'm away from the base."
"You haven't seen those monsters outside. Most of them are of low intelligence, but they are all controlled by humans and their actions are highly organized."
"We need to be careful when dealing with these guys."
"Don't worry, Master, I know what to do."
As the witch watched Su He's departing figure, she memorized all the things he had told her, and in her heart, she began to have a different understanding of this creator god who belonged to them.
Su He didn't have time to care about the witch's thoughts right now.
Logically speaking, given the signs of foreign invasion on the outskirts of his territory, he shouldn't have gone mining voluntarily.
Once he goes deep underground, he essentially loses control of his territory.
But just as Su He had thought, the monsters from the outside world must have had ulterior motives for infiltrating the territory, and the next conflict with that necromancer named Eris might break out soon.
If a conflict were to break out, one's overall strength would have to be significantly improved.
Going into the mines to dig for diamonds is the best shortcut for him to quickly improve his strength.
If Su He can accumulate a large amount of minerals such as diamonds, lapis lazuli, and redstone, he will be able to make more preparations when he returns to base, and will be more confident in dealing with enemies.
Diamond armor, an enchanting table, redstone technology—creating any one of these items could significantly boost his overall strength.
In addition, with the diamond pickaxe, Suhe can also mine obsidian to build the Nether Portal, and also use it to learn the obsidian spellbook he recently acquired.
For Minecraft players, mining is an essential step to becoming stronger.
Whether in the original world or various mods, the power boost from mining new minerals has always been the most direct and effective way.
While pondering, Su He had already walked deep into the mine tunnels opened up by the monsters.
Diamonds only generate underground after the beacon is upgraded, so many newly generated diamonds are generated in the mines that monsters have already dug.
As we walked further in, we discovered quite a few diamonds along the way.
He took out a pickaxe from his backpack, and as the first diamond entered his backpack, a magnificent system achievement sound rang out.
[Achievement: Diamond!]
[Task: More and better tools have been unlocked]
【任务要求：提交钻石头盔×1、钻石胸甲×1、钻石护腿×1、钻石靴子×1、全套钻石武器工具×1】
[Quest Rewards: Diamond Multitool Blueprint x1, Diamond Greatsword Blueprint x1, Diamond Throwing Knife Blueprint x1, Advanced Equipment Forging Table x1]
"A new mission?"
Upon hearing the system notification, Su He immediately opened the task panel.
Under the weapons and tools category, a brand new mission marked with an exclamation mark is prominently displayed.
Clicking on this task will instantly display all the item information for the task rewards.
The most crucial reward is an item called the Advanced Equipment Forging Table.
With the forging blueprints provided with the mission, Suhe can use this forging table to create weapons and tools that far surpass the original versions in strength.
As a ten-year veteran of Minecraft, Su He has played with these kinds of mods and items quite a bit, and he is already very familiar with the related gameplay.
You can craft all kinds of weapons simply by using a forge and blueprints, making it one of the simplest mods to play.
But simplicity does not mean weakness; the boost in strength that this task reward can bring is definitely not to be underestimated.
Moreover, the conditions for completing this task were very easy for Su He; it was something he could do effortlessly.
After assigning the monsters to mine the target minerals, the sound of blocks being destroyed echoed throughout the underground.
Su He, who was in the mine tunnel, did not find the noise jarring at all; on the contrary, he found it particularly pleasant.
To him, the sounds of mining were all signs of acquiring resources and increasing his strength.
Amidst the continuous sounds of mining, even the tedious process of digging obsidian with a diamond pickaxe becomes quite pleasant.
Fourteen obsidian stones are the necessary amount to craft a Nether portal and an enchanting table.
Su He plans to use all the obsidian he finds afterward to study the obsidian magic he acquired earlier.
After counting the obsidian in his backpack, Su He took out ten pieces as a consumable to unlock the magic book.
The next second, a brand new learning interface appeared directly in front of him.
【1. Obsidian Control Magic】
[Tuition Fee: 15 Obsidian Stones]
[Description: Allows for the rapid deployment of obsidian structures, enabling players to manipulate obsidian to extend and launch attacks; upon hitting a target, it will inflict an obsidian-specific poison buff.]
【2. Shattered Obsidian Pillar】
[Tuition Fee: 40 Obsidian]
[Description: Can summon more powerful obsidian pillars, which can be used to chain attacks and create aerial defenses. Upon hitting a target, it inflicts an obsidian-exclusive poison buff.]
【3. The Crying Obsidian Cage】
[Tuition Fee: 100 Obsidian]
[Description: Can conjure obsidian cages out of thin air, immobilizing the target and inflicting a level 2 exhaustion, level 3 mining fatigue, and an obsidian-exclusive poison buff.]
[Note: After learning the above spells, they can be cast without consuming any resources; additional consumption of obsidian can greatly amplify the spell's power and extend its duration.]
This was all the power of Obsidian Magic Tier 1; just three spells were enough to make Su He's pupils dilate in shock.
Especially this spell called the Crying Obsidian Cage, its effects are simply "invincible".
If Su He hadn't lacked obsidian in his backpack, he would have loved to learn this magic immediately.
Unfortunately, the monsters' efficiency in mining obsidian is currently limited, so he can only learn the first spell—Obsidian Control—to experience it firsthand.
After learning obsidian magic, a new magic bar with an overall obsidian texture will appear in the status bar UI.
To use obsidian magic, you need to hold the obsidian in your hand.
When casting a spell, the user can freely choose whether to consume additional obsidian to enhance the magic.
For his first spellcasting, Su He chose not to consume any additional obsidian.
As the magic gauge was depleted, several pieces of obsidian suddenly bulged up from the ground and rushed towards the stone wall in front.
The obsidian forcefully dented a deep hole into the hard stone block.
In the blink of an eye, all the stone blocks of the entire wall crumbled and disintegrated, and large amounts of obsidian surged out, filling the entire area.
