Chapter 137: The Second Person in the Mines
Back in the mines, Leon took the elevator straight to the 10th floor. Only after stepping out did he realize how pitifully small this level was, with no visible ore in sight.
The last time he descended from the 9th floor, his mind had been entirely on the Cherry Bomb. He had gone straight to the elevator, powered it up, and returned to the surface. Now, standing here again, he finally noticed the true state of the 10th floor.
One thing puzzled him—there was no treasure chest in the center where one should have been.
In the game, the 10th floor always had a chest containing a pair of boots, a gift from Mr. Qi.
But now, the place was empty. Leon couldn’t help but suspect that Mr. Qi hadn’t prepared a gift for explorers here… or perhaps he had never intended to place a chest on this floor at all.
Still feeling doubtful, Leon took a lap around the level. He found no chest, but in a rocky corner on the right side, he discovered the stairwell leading to the 11th floor.
After one last glance at the barren 10th floor, Leon sighed and descended.
Upon reaching the 11th floor, he set aside his disappointment and began searching for an area with a dense cluster of rocks.
The terrain here was a bit more complex, with several tunnels branching out, each ending in a small chamber.
