Shen Xingmian rolled over and climbed onto Xue Tuan's back. Its fur was very thick, so even without a cushion, it didn't hurt her bottom and was quite comfortable.

To prevent herself from falling, she reached out and hugged Xue Tuan's neck.

The white tiger was really smart. It even knew to wait until Shen Xingmian had a firm grip before slowly taking steps, giving its master time to adjust before gradually accelerating and running wildly.

If Shen Xingmian hadn't put on goggles beforehand and covered her entire face, she probably wouldn't have been able to open her eyes because of the wind.

As the snowball raced at breakneck speed, she tried to figure out her direction, only to discover that, being somewhat directionally challenged to begin with, she had absolutely no idea where she was.

The trees and rocks around them all looked pretty much the same. If you looked closely, you could definitely tell the difference, but they were moving so fast that they were all gone in the blink of an eye.

There's absolutely no way to tell the difference.

Shen Xingmian chose to lie flat—no, to lie prone—and tried to use the huge hood of her down jacket to block the fierce wind in front of her.

But some air still blew in through the gaps, and even though I was wearing so many layers, I felt like I was going to get chilled to the bone in no time.

The extreme weather in the North is no exaggeration.

It's really tough.

She suddenly envied Snowball. Despite having only a layer of fur and its eyes facing the cold wind, it wasn't afraid at all.

That body is incredibly sturdy.

It's hard not to be envious.

After running for a while, Shen Xingmian felt that she could barely hold onto Xue Tuan's neck anymore before it gradually slowed down.

When it finally stopped, it was so tired that it lay down on the ground, panting heavily, but its expression showed a kind of exhilarating excitement.

At home, it can't run around freely like this, and Shen Xingmian is afraid of scaring the animals in the open space, so she doesn't dare let it go into the mountains to play.

This was a first for both Xue Tuan and her.

It was so cool and exciting.

Shen Xingmian slid down from the tiger's back, and her arms were a little sore from the exertion. She was afraid they would become painful by evening.

She quickly used her powers to tidy herself up, and of course, she didn't forget about Xue Tuan who was resting nearby.

It's probably the first time it's done parkour at this intensity, so its muscles must be sore. Anyway, it has a lot of superpowers, so I used them on it too.

The effect was extremely remarkable. Snowball immediately stopped panting, and its breathing became steady in no time. It looked at Shen Xingmian with a puzzled expression, its big, round eyes full of doubt.

Looking at its silly little face, Shen Xingmian couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After laughing, she began to examine the surrounding terrain and found that it really was the place she had pointed out earlier. Xue Tuan's sense of direction was far superior to hers.

The hilltop here is sparsely covered with vegetation and is mostly rock, which is very much in line with the image of a mine in Shen Xingmian's mind.

She took out a metal detector, injected her supernatural power into it, and could immediately see what metal elements were within a radius of dozens of meters.

She didn't even intend to dig for the iron ore that the Gao family had found, since what they found might not be the largest deposit in the vicinity.

Results obtained using instruments are more accurate.

Sure enough, the instrument quickly provided data, clearly indicating where the concentration of metal elements was highest.

Among them, the element that Shen Xingmian was most interested in was gold. It was gold, after all, so its priority was definitely higher than that of iron.

As for those rare metal elements, she didn't know what to do with them, so she simply unchecked them on the panel, leaving only the most basic ones like gold, silver, copper, and iron.

The nearest location with the highest gold content was about 800 meters away. She climbed onto the snowball's back and directed it to move closer and closer to that location.

Upon arriving at the destination, she jumped off the tiger's back, looked around, and found that there was indeed nothing unusual on the surface.

Those gold elements were located about three meters underground, within the range of her supernatural abilities.

Shen Xingmian squatted down, took off his gloves, pressed his palms against the ground, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed the presence of the gold element.

In no time, the superpower established a connection, gradually extracting the gold from the soil and ore.

When it gathered in her palm, it was only the size of an apple, its shape was unstable, and it was more like a liquid.

She used her supernatural powers to knead it for a while, trying to shape it into a gold ingot, but she failed. In the end, she could only settle for making it into a gold brick.

I weighed it, and it was over a kilogram.

Shen Xingmian's first reaction was, "I'm rich!"

It was a completely different experience from collecting gold from other people's warehouses. This was the first piece of gold she had earned through her own abilities, and it was such a large piece!

No wonder everyone says China is vast and rich in resources; it truly is. You can find such a large piece of pure gold on any random mountain.

Yes, pure gold without any impurities.

It's exciting just thinking about it.

She compared the metal content display panel again, and with the comparison between the displayed element content and the weight in her hand, she roughly got a sense of the weight.

The display panel only shows the element concentration, but not the weight. After all, without superpowers, no one can directly purify metal ore on the spot.

First, it needs to be dug out and transported to the factory at the foot of the mountain. After a lot of work by the workers, it can be purified to the point where there are only traces of impurities.

People like Shen Xingmian only started to appear gradually after metal detectors and supernatural abilities emerged.

The metal detector has been modified, but this aspect remains unchanged; it still only displays the level of content.

However, this does not affect Shen Xingmian's use of it, and it is very easy to use.

If the gold weren't so cold to the touch, she would have been stroking it for ages, practically wanting to use it as a pillow and sleep with it at night.

It's hard on my head, but it smells delicious, haha.

If we put the gold brick back into the space, it's too big to circulate on the market. We'll have to break it down into smaller pieces later.

This is the first piece of gold she dug up herself, which is very meaningful. She plans to make it into several gold bracelets and give one to each member of the family. It will bring them wealth and be of great help in times of emergency.

That's absolutely fantastic.

It just has that nouveau riche, tacky feel to it...

But it doesn't matter. Once you grow up a bit, no one will dislike gold, and she herself is one of them.

When I was little, I thought it was old-fashioned. I even thought that when she grew up and was getting married, I would definitely not buy gold, but colored gold and diamonds instead.

I only realized how foolish I was as a child; gold is fragrant!

Gold you dig out yourself tastes better!

She was so excited she couldn't stop, completely ignoring the two people waiting for her message in the space, and continued to frolic all over the mountains and fields with Xuetuan.

As the man and the tiger ran and stopped for a while, more and more metal bricks appeared in the space.
