"There is an entire goblin kingdom beneath the Grey Ore Area."
Ethan recalled what he had seen through the Divine Tree. There were at least hundreds or even thousands of goblin caves. He didn't know the exact number.
With his current strength, challenging a whole group alone was basically suicide.
But he didn't want to give up this huge area of ore.
Since the government didn't allow it, then he would just mine it secretly.
So Ethan planned to let White Eagle patrol. Once goblins appeared, it would immediately warn Stone Six and the others to withdraw.
And judging from today's situation, there shouldn't be any other goblins coming up.
So while the goblins below still knew nothing about the situation above, Ethan naturally wanted to dig as much as he could. One second was one second gained, one day was one day gained.
[System reminder: Temporary Agility Boost Scroll countdown!]
[10… 9… 8…]
(╯°Д°)╯
'How did I forget the most important thing!'
He had been too absorbed watching Stone Six perform, smashing stones on his chest… no, showing Great Strength Produces Miracles, he actually forgot about the All Attribute Double Coupon.
Ethan quickly dumped the last handful of Life Spring Crystals into his mouth. He didn't even have time to chew. He swallowed them directly.
Time was running out. Whatever he could gain, he would take.
[Spell Sense +0.1%]
[Spell Sense +0.1%]
[Spell Sense...]
Ethan didn't have time to look.
He instantly used the All Attribute Double Coupon in the last three seconds before the Temporary Agility Boost Scroll expired.
BOOM!
In that instant, Ethan felt like he had been possessed by a Saiyan.
His whole body overflowed with power. He felt he could punch at least a hundred elephants to death (power measurement: elephant).
"Lord, what happened to you?"
Stone Six and the others stared at him, watching the lord's entire body emit steam like Luffy entering Second Gear. They were completely shocked.
But Ethan had no time to explain. He only had one feeling right now: His energy had nowhere to go.
He had to release it immediately.
"Go, Hunter Five, follow me to the northern ice field right now."
Ethan didn't even bother explaining to Stone Six. He rushed off with Daji and Hunter Five, heading toward the ice field to kill monsters and seize treasure with this burst of rage power.
Doing the best thing at the best moment.
That was Ethan's time management, the Time Assassin Rule.
Call him… The Master of Time Management.

Leaving the Grey Ore Area, Ethan led Hunter Five and the others toward the north.
[North: A snowy ice field, hiding a platinum treasure chest. But dangers lurk everywhere. Not only terrifying giant snow monsters, but also bloodthirsty snow bats hiding beneath the snow, impossible to guard against.]
Next was the ice field.
After they spent more than half an hour and finally reached it, Ethan froze.
Previously, when he saw the description saying there was a snowy ice field in the north, he thought it just meant the snow hadn't melted yet.
But when he saw an entire snowy world, with even a sky-piercing ice mountain in the center.
Ethan was almost one hundred percent sure, no amount of snowfall could create this.
It had to be the world terrain of the Mist World itself changing, creating this miracle.
But that didn't matter. The main point was finding the platinum treasure chest hidden in the ice field.
If treasure chests were ranked by grade, this one was basically equal to a level 4 chest. Gold chests could already produce a lot of good things like blueprints or skill books. Who knew what this platinum chest would give?
He hoped the platinum chest would be promising.
It needed to pull its weight.
Just like certain universities, starting as junior colleges, then through hard work upgrading to second-tier universities, then more effort and boom, first-tier.
Those universities that climb ranks through their own effort are the most wonderful existence.
Much better than those who barely claw their way into a top-tier school.
He scanned the ice field.
[Bloodthirsty Snow Bat]
[Bloodthirsty Snow Bat]
[Icefield Rift]
[Snow Monster]
[Bloodthirsty Snow Bat]
A massive cluster of red exclamation marks covered the map.
The white ice field was almost painted red by them.
This level of danger was way too ridiculous.
Not to mention ordinary people, even Ethan, with his golden finger, felt it was tough. He really couldn't imagine what would happen to any other player walking in here.
[Player whose bones are not yet cold.]
[Level 1 backpack]
[Player who died unwillingly!]
[Resident who wandered in by mistake!]
[Extinguished kerosene lamp!]
[...]
"Alright!"
Seeing the pile of messages about players and residents, Ethan immediately understood how dangerous this place was for ordinary players.
But one thing confused him: "A resident wandered here by mistake?"
"Was that my resident?"
Ethan quickly stepped forward and dug out the resident's body.
The resident, frozen into a curled-up ball, wore a blue military uniform. The emblem on it wasn't any country Ethan recognized, but he was certain it wasn't from Dragon Nation.
As for the resident, Ethan stared at the frozen face for a long time and finally confirmed… he didn't know this person.
'Tch!'
Since he didn't know him, Ethan naturally tossed him aside.
Was he supposed to dig a grave for someone else's resident? Another snowfall would bury him anyway, so Ethan wouldn't waste time on a dead body.
But the kerosene lamp left behind, that he wouldn't waste.
There was also a player's level 1 backpack.
Ethan did want to dig it out to see if there was anything good.
But to get there, he had to deal with three Bloodthirsty Snow Bats buried beneath the snow. He wasn't sure if Enchanted Fire Arrow would work well in such icy conditions.
As for Wind Arrow, Ethan absolutely wouldn't use that in the ice field.
Who knew if it would cause an avalanche and bury him and his people alive.
"ROAR!"
But at this moment, Ethan hadn't even stepped into the ice field yet when a giant snowman appeared.
Oh wait, a giant snow monster.
Covered in long white fur, about three meters tall, looking like some huge white gorilla bird-thing.
And in its hand, it was holding a glowing white...
"Treasure chest?"
"Holy crap!"
"The snow monster is holding my platinum treasure chest and running off!"
"Hairy monster, stop right there!", Ethan roared, "Put down that treasure chest and let me have it!"
