Chapter 96 Ore Mining Difficulty

Xia Tian had gradually grown accustomed to Si Ye's domineering personality, and after mentally noting the favor, she inquired about the origins of the crystal. "This kind of crystal must be very rare, right? Where did you find it?"

She found that Si Ye always brought her many unexpected surprises, such as the coarse salt before and the green crystal this time.

How did he find so many strange, yet necessary and precious things?

The fire in the stove had been rekindled, and Si Ye added firewood bit by bit. "This crystal stone is buried underground. I discovered it by accident. There isn't much, but it's enough for us if we're alone."

Unlike the salt mines which are guarded by dangerous beasts, no animals will eat this kind of crystal, so there is no need to worry about encountering any large beasts. The main difficulty lies in the actual mining.

Because this kind of ore is buried very deep and is soluble in water, if it encounters an underground river, it will all dissolve and disappear if you are not careful.

In addition, the situation below is complicated. It is not a big city like Dongfang City, where there are a large number of male orcs specializing in ore mining. Even if Si Ye's individual combat capability is strong, he will not be able to dig it out.

Fortunately, no one has mined this vein of minerals yet. Some loose stones scattered from the veins can be found under some rocks or in the corners of the valley, which are enough for them to eat.

And if it weren't for preparing dinner for the girl, he wouldn't have thought of this at all.

However, if there really isn't enough food in the future, he will find a way to mine it.

For her... anything he does is worth it.

"You mean, this crystal is buried underground? No wonder we can't see it normally. If it is in a tribe or a main city, there should be someone specially assigned to mine it, right?" Xia Tian didn't expect that this "candy" is actually a mineral in this world. It's really amazing.

And although Si Ye didn't mention a word about the mining part, she could tell from his words that the mining should be quite difficult.

Otherwise, he who could mine more than ten kilograms of salt would not be left with only a palm-sized piece of green crystal in his hand.

Si Ye didn't hide anything and admitted the rarity of the green crystal. "But don't worry. If you like it, I will find a way to collect it for you."

[Wow, I love this male lead so much, his boyfriend power is MAX! ]

[Strange, isn't this how males in StarCraft always treat their partners? They really don't know how to appreciate their blessings.]

[Hehe, what's the point of just talking? Leaf sugar is a rare commodity even on the main planet. What good things can there be on a barren planet like that?]

Xia Tian has become accustomed to relying on herself, and the mining of green crystal stone itself is very difficult. It is unreasonable for her to ask Si Ye to mine the ore.

However, this sweet substance did remind her that now that refining refined salt is on the agenda, why not put sugar production on the agenda as well?

I also need to find time to study the various ores in this world, just in case I find coal or iron ores...

But that’s all for later. What we need to do now is to make Si Ye’s exclusive brand of thick soup.

"Actually, the process of making this soup is very simple. You are very smart. I will show you how to make it and you will understand." Si Ye picked up the washed and cut pieces of animal meat on the side, put them into a clean stone pot and started to roast them directly.
