Time lapse.

It has been 3 days since the transaction with Albert.

James doesn't know how much amount of Magma Slime has been traded till now, the pit has also reached an astonishing depth.

From the day he came to know that the Magma Slime can melt the Ice directly into vapor he has dedicated most of his time to this, he only take a small time of rest while the whole time he spent on putting the slime in the pit and take out the cooled slime.

After using the slime for so long he also found a surprising, when he had 100units of slime the game panel opened a new drawing in the workshop that is of Silicon. 100units can be converted into 1 unit of silicon.

For now, though he has a large amount of silicon collected he didn't have any way to earn profits from them. He has only tried to fill the silicon in a handmade cloth bag and used them as a makeshift mattress. It was surely very comfortable...

Seeing the huge silicon reserves James had thought of making something to relieve stress but then dismissed it.

In this way, three more days went by.

Today everyone can feel the heavy atmosphere in the chat column because tomorrow was the end of the novice protection period. Tomorrow was the day when this game will truly become a survival challenge for which all of them have been training from childhood.

What was the biggest difficulty was that there might be players from other races which were kept away from them by the game till now. But now they can appear at any time.

There was also an unknown factor about which no one took notice. The S-class players have not appeared till now. Considering the knowledge which was collected by their previous generations there were many variables they can create.

But for James, all these were just obstacles in his journey. For now, he was not much worried about them. Now he was trying his best to find a path out of this place. Though hiding here seemed safer than facing the levels outside he didn't know when he will be impacted.

The fear of the coming danger has also stimulated the other players. Everyone is preparing for tomorrow's morning.

Evening 6:00,

James put another 10nits of magma slime in the pit in front of him, with a sizzling sound the Ice layer was melted but son the Slime was cooled down. After confirming that the slime has cooled down completely he put it away.

Currently, the depth of the pit has reached more than 25meters, when looked up from the pit there is no way to see the light on the surface. Due to this James had to trade a large amount of soil and placed one bioluminescent fungus at certain intervals to providing lighting.

Due to the use of Magma Slime the pit became a bit steep due to which James had to work on the path leading below.

With a lazy expression when James was thinking of taking out another 10units of Magma Slime, he found something under the Ice surface.

It was a very faint outline but he was sure there was something inside, knowing this he hurriedly took out the Fire shovel and started digging manually.

The Ice here seemed tougher than the Ice on the surface hence it took him more than an hour to dig a small amount of it.

But his hard work was answered and when he hit the Ice again there was a different sound, without resting he hurriedly cleared the Ice around the thing and found that the thing below the Ice had a size unknown.

After clearing for another few minutes he gave up wasting time on this and tried to use the system hints on it. But even after his eyes started to hurt there was no movement from the system.

Now there was only one way to find out what this thing was,

after resting for some time he went to work again. He wanted to take a small piece from this thing so that the system might give hints about it. He has found this theory from the Ice, when he saw the entire Ice surface the system didn't speak, only when he took a small piece of the Ice the system gave the information.

With this thought, he started hitting the bone-like thing with the fire shovel, for the whole night, there were sounds of two strong things colliding with each other.

When the morning of the next day came the frequency and strength in the noises reduced to the minimum and seemed to stop at any time.

Inside the pit stood a young man soaked completely in sweat with his foots wrapped with a thick cloth and silicon bags, with a red fiery shovel in his hands.

In front of him was a bone-like surface covered with Ice layers from all directions, and there was a small mark on this surface not even 2cm deep.

'What the fuck is this thing? Did the system fooled me?'

'Ahh! you fu*king shitty things I will keep hitting till you don't break.', with an angry roar James used all his remaining strength to hit the surface with the shovel.

Then there was a cracking sound and a small crack appeared on the shovel head seeing which there was a pang in James's heart, but then he was suddenly overjoyed since there was a very small piece was broken from the surface which was not even around 2cm.

Seeing this James relaxed his body and was backlashed by the fatigue of working for the whole night, knowing that he can't hold for long he hurriedly took out a large amount of silicon to fill the pit surface and few cloth pieces to avoid cold.

Then he fell on the floor made of silicon with a satisfied smile.
