As I said before this served as encouragement. It meant I needed to try harder. Maybe I needed to experiment a little. I saved most of what I had sold until I had enough coins to buy stronger equipment. When I went to the shop, I saw that dynamite was not good for digging rocks but was very efficient for stones. It was quite expensive and I’d waste all the time it took to get the coins but I was an adventurer at heart. I decided to go for it.
“Good choice, Noob...” – The salesman replied.
“I really hope it is. Wonder how I can put it to use?!” – I tried to get some more details from him.
“I can only give you one advice. Use your creativity.” – He answered with what seemed like a riddle.
I went back to digging but the dynamite was just slowing me down. The stones I was going for previously didn’t seem to pay off. Needless to say, I got a bit frustrated. I regained my composure and dug up all I could. The next time I went back to the mine, I jumped into a deep hole again. The miner that dug it up wasn’t there and the only thing he’d left were some obsidian rocks.
“What have I got to lose?!” – I told myself and threw the dynamite at them. A plethora of treasures just opened before my eyes. I used the dynamite again. Wow! This was worth more than anything I had dug up before – maybe even my last full backpack. I got so excited and started looking for other opportunities like this. Now, even the bigger backpack was holding me back. I got back to the surface and bought a bigger one. I saw that my friend was here and I wanted to share my discovery with him.
