Wang Feng's family of five was taken to a low-level mining area for gathering, along with relatives and friends from various low-level mining areas.

They had come from a low-level mining area, and when they returned, they could hardly recognize the place. The reason was simple: the changes here were too great!

The mining area was very clean. The miners coming and going were well-dressed and had smiles on their faces. On the other hand, most of them were still wearing cloth skirts distributed by the mining area, which made them look like refugees.

The pride of the intermediate mining area was shattered in an instant. Fortunately, everyone was busy and no one noticed the hundreds of people walking in.

Su Yanxi looked at the miners that Supervisor Chen had brought back. Some of them looked shifty, which made her feel uncomfortable. Since they were hiring people, she wasn't picky.

These are all things that can contribute to her wealth. No matter whether the cat is black or white, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat.

"Would you like to be my miners?" Su Yanxi asked.

The mid-level miners answered in unison: "Yes."

The miners were surprised to find that after they said the word "yes", they were no longer in the low-level mining area, but had arrived in a completely new world.

It looks a bit fake here. There is no sun and no wind. It is surrounded by something. I can't see far away. There are several mines not far away.

"Could this be the space opened up by the Mining God?!" a miner said excitedly, "Doesn't that mean we'll also be favored by the Mining God in the future?!"

Soon, a message popped up in front of them, offering to loan them a wooden pickaxe, and the miners readily agreed. The pickaxe suddenly appeared out of thin air, and after being surprised, the miners happily picked up the pickaxe and found a suitable location to dig.

The more they dug, the more surprises they found.

"Oh my god, what is this? It looks like food, and it's sweet!"

"Oh my god, a piece of clothing suddenly fell out! I got a gift from the God of Mines! I got a gift from the God of Mines!"

"Great, I have one too!"

"What bad luck! The mining god gave me a few small black particles. I don't know what they are!"

The miners received all kinds of strange items dropped. This was the first time they had seen these new things. Although they didn't recognize some of them, or subconsciously thought they were worthless, they didn't throw them away. They planned to go out and let others identify what they were.

Su Yanxi was as happy as they were.

There were more than 500 miners in this group, who contributed ten blue crystal mines and two tri-color mines to her. Her own miners could definitely dig them all out in five hours at night.

Su Yanxi called up the exchange page and stared at the constantly jumping numbers for a long time. If she didn't have something else to do, she would watch as long as the miners dug.

Who doesn’t like to watch their money grow all the time!

In her mind, she even automatically matched the jumping numbers with the sound of gold coins and metal colliding, which sounded so wonderful!

If we want to keep this beautiful scenery, we have to keep recruiting miners! Five hundred more people is not enough.

Su Yanxi thought so as he put away the dried raisins.

When the time came, the miners in the intermediate mining area returned to their original positions. Unlike the unfamiliarity when they came, they felt that they had a bond with this shabby low-level mining area.

"Everyone wants to move here, right?" A miner turned jealous.

He really couldn't imagine how wonderful it would be to stay here forever. It is said that those who are close to water get to see the moon first. If he could go in to mine every day and get a plate of braised pork every day, he would be so happy!

The other miners also agreed in their hearts, and fell down with extra items in their arms, their faces smiling like chrysanthemums.

They never thought that one day they would envy the miners in the lower-level mining areas.

Wang Feng was calculating in his mind. He saw that there was an extra row of people besides the counter. Curious, he asked the person at the end, "What's this for?"

"It's said that we can exchange things given to us by God here, like acceleration cards that can help us increase our mining speed!"

"So good!" Wang Feng was stunned.

The line was too long, and he couldn't help but walk forward a few steps. Just as he was considering whether he needed to stay and queue, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face at the front of the line.

That face is exactly like his.

His wife tugged at his arm and asked, "Is that our son?"

Wang Feng nodded.

Those eyes and that nose were exactly like his; he would recognize them even if they turned into ashes! That was his son, Stone.

I saw the fourth son sitting in front of a small table. The person in front of the table handed something to him, and he took out the corresponding items in exchange, looking like a small administrator.

After not seeing him for over ten years, his fourth son is actually doing so well?!

Wang Feng couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, but he was not particularly happy.

His wife, on the other hand, was completely different. Seeing her fourth son's success, she joyfully ran to the front of the crowd, not caring that she had once abandoned her son. She shamelessly pushed past the people in front of the table, exerting force while proudly saying, "Move aside! Let me go first!"

"Why?!" The woman who was pushed away was also a fierce person. She immediately pressed down on the table and exerted force with her feet.

"Why? Ha! Because this is my son!"

As soon as she boasted, the woman who was pushed away had to give in reluctantly.

"He's a relative of mine. I can't afford to offend him." The woman said in a gloomy way.

"Sister, you don't have to give way. I don't know her." Chen Shi said with a smile.

After hearing what Chen Shi said, the eldest sister immediately pushed the Queen Mother away with confidence. She was not paying attention for a moment and fell to the ground with her butt.

"Oh my! This is the first time I've encountered someone who's just trying to make connections! Hey, please help me change it! I need a stamina card."

Chen Shi didn't look at the stunned Queen Mother on the ground. He handed a stamina card to the older woman who was exchanging it, and put the seed into the box. The next exchanger was a man. Just as he was about to step forward, the Queen Mother suddenly rushed up, leaned over the table, and shouted at Chen Shi heartbreakingly: "Son! Don't you recognize your mother? I am your mother! How could you forget? You should be able to remember things at the age of thirteen..."

Chen Shi quickly moved the iron box containing the seeds to prevent the woman from touching the box and dropping it on the ground.

He looked at the woman with a sullen face as she broke down emotionally. Seeing that he didn't react, she just sat on the ground and rolled around.

"Oh my God! You ungrateful bastard! We raised you up, and you don't even know how to be grateful! I asked you to help cut in line to exchange something, and you actually said you didn't know me! Don't you even recognize your own mother? Unfilial behavior will be punished by heaven! Oh my God! Oh my God! My life is so miserable! How could I give birth to such an ungrateful bastard!"

The farce before him made Chen Shi clench his fists.

He saw the four men who were related to him standing not far away and watching coldly, and none of them stepped forward to stop the woman from going crazy.

"I don't have a mother." Chen Shi said coldly, "I don't have a father either."

"They are all dead. I am an orphan."

The speaker may not intend it, but the listener may take it seriously.

The Queen Mother froze for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice, "You actually cursed us to death?"

"You ungrateful bastard, I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death!" The Queen Mother was so excited that she stood up and hit Shen Shi hard on the shoulder.

He didn't resist, just stood there.

The scene was chaotic for a while, and Supervisor Huang stopped weighing the mine and brought people over to maintain order.

Seeing that things were not going well, Wang Feng walked over and pulled Wang Mu away, saying like a peacemaker, "Xiao Si, I know you hate us, but we had no choice at the time. You can hate us or blame us, but your brothers love you. Don't you remember all that?"

"Yeah, back then, the mistress would save every drop of soup for you. Now that you're rich, is this how you treat us?!"

"Bah! You're so shameless!"

A cold male voice sounded.

Wang Feng thought it was Chen Shi who spoke, but he kept looking at him and didn't see him move his lips. He glanced to the side and saw a tall man with animal ears standing not far away.

As soon as he appeared, the scene became much quieter.

Wang Feng frowned, "This is our family affair, we don't need outsiders to interfere!"

Su Yanxi was speechless.

"What family? This is my little brother. Everyone present who is not deaf has heard him say that both his parents are dead. You want to be his parents because you think he has lived too long and want to go into the grave to try and see for yourself?"

"He is an ungrateful person, who are you? You have the right to interrupt me when I am talking to our son!" The Queen Mother wanted to use the same trick again and continued to go crazy in front of Su Yanxi.

Su Yanxi didn't give her a chance to perform. She winked at Supervisor Huang, and several supervisors immediately stepped forward and subdued Wang Feng and the other four.

The four of them squatted on the ground and struggled desperately, not understanding what was happening. Su Yanxi was too lazy to talk nonsense and said lightly: "Put these four people on the blacklist and never set foot in our mining area in this life!"

"Why?! Who are you? Whatever you say is the truth?! Do you think the mining area is your home?" Queen Mother cursed.

"What a coincidence! This is really my responsibility."

The nine words "neither slow nor fast" made Wang Feng's face turn pale in an instant.

"Are you the person in charge of the mine?!" He couldn't believe it.

The three brothers who had been silent all this time looked at Chen Shi and then at Su Yanxi.

They didn't expect that this brother who was abandoned since childhood would actually do so well and become a favorite of the person in charge of the mining area!

Their family is going to become rich!

At this moment, the boss had only this one thought in his mind.

Seeing his parents were helpless, he stepped forward to smooth things over. "Hello, mine manager, we are Shitou's brothers. You see, this is really like a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize each other..."

"We are not a family!" Chen Shi suddenly interrupted.

Su Yanxi glanced at Chen Shi. He had been acting like a softie just now, but now he finally stood up for once.

Chen Shi's cheeks turned red when Su Yanxi looked at him.

He is not good at dealing with emotional matters, especially his childhood experiences, which made him not know how to face this unscrupulous pair of parents.

If you say they are bad, they raised Shen Shi until he was able to support himself. If you say they are good, they abandoned him when Shen Shi needed him the most.

He didn't want to care about it, and even when it was slapped in his face, he still refused to face it and even entered a state of emotional isolation.

No matter how his parents threw tantrums or made trouble in front of him, he remained calm and unaffected.

But people are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless?

That kind of isolation was just a self-protection mechanism. When someone came forward to protect him, this mechanism suddenly collapsed, just like the winter ice encountering a warm morning sun, which instantly melted through the ice and melted the frozen heart.

"Brother Nian." He shouted.

Chen Shi knew that the person in front of him was not the real Chen Yunian. If it was the real Brother Nian, he would definitely protect him. But what he didn't expect was that this stranger who had only been with him for a few days would actually help him solve this mess.

He has always been on guard against this person, but this person seems to be sincere to him.

Apart from Brother Nian, the person in front of him was the second person who truly helped him.

"Thank you, Brother Nian." He swallowed the extra words.

"Brother Huang, please drag these people out." Chen Shi was a little embarrassed as it was his first time asking for help.

Supervisor Huang couldn't stand it anymore, nodded at the two of them, dragged Wang Feng's family of five, and threw them to the ground at the entrance of the mining area.

Supervisor Chen spat on the ground in anger and said bitterly, "I asked you to come here to worship the mining god with good intentions, and you did this to me? Is your brain full of tofu dregs?"

Wang Feng remained silent while being scolded. After Supervisor Chen finished scolding him, he carefully asked, "Brother Chen, it's my fault for not stopping this bitch in time!"

After saying that, he slapped the Queen Mother in the face. The Queen Mother acted as if nothing had happened, covering her face and smiling ingratiatingly.

"Brother Chen, if we can't enter the mining area, how can we worship the mining god?" Wang Feng continued to ask.

Supervisor Chen folded his hands in silence. "I think you're really stupid. You've been kicked out, and you still want to worship the mine god?! You're not thinking straight. Go get some treatment from the mine doctor. Don't come out and embarrass yourself, okay?"

Wang Feng was horrified when he heard this. He immediately grabbed Supervisor Chen and refused to let go, begging desperately, "Brother Chen, please think of a way for us! We still want to come! What if we can't come?!"

"Get out of the way!" Supervisor Chen kicked him away. Unlike Chen Shi, he was not hesitant to do anything. "Who are you to me? Why should I help you? Besides, what good will it do me if I offend the person in charge?"

He can hardly protect himself, how can he help others catch lice!

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for being blind. You didn't know how to cherish the gold nugget properly, but threw it away as if it were scrap! You saw it today, and you still wanted to be disliked in front of others. Isn't this a sin? Forget about worshipping the mining god!"

Supervisor Chen gave Wang Feng and the other four a look, shook his head, brushed the dust off his sleeves, and left with the other supervisors.

Wang Feng was left sitting on the ground with a pale face, as if all his energy had been drained out.

At this moment, the Queen Mother still didn't realize the seriousness of the situation. She murmured, "If you don't want to worship me, then don't worship me! We have been blessed, why should we be afraid of them?"

"Shut up! You idiot!" Wang Feng's forehead was bulging with veins. "If it weren't for you, how could we have been kicked out!"

"That's right, Mom. If you hadn't abandoned my brother, we'd all be in great shape now! It's all your fault!"

The Queen Mother was condemned by four pairs of eyes, and her chest was so choked that she fell silent.

When they returned to the intermediate mining area and started mining the next day, they found that the mining speed was almost the same as in the mysterious space, and their confidence returned immediately.

But as they dug, they found something wrong.

The people were a little confused when the pickaxes disappeared from their hands. After using up the pickaxes obtained in the space, they discovered one thing: the pickaxes provided by the mining area did not have the effect of accelerating mining.

For a time, the Wang family complained bitterly.

"Mom! What should we do now? If we don't go worship the mining god, we'll never be able to finish mining in one morning!"

Seeing others complete their tasks in the morning and leave humming songs while dragging their bamboo baskets, the Wang family was jealous to the point of madness, but they could only keep waving ordinary pickaxes to mine. If they stopped for a while, they might not be able to complete today's task.

But their hearts are destined to be restless.

How can people, after having tasted the delicacies from land and sea, still look down upon coarse vegetables?

Something that could be done in one morning took them a whole day. If it were in the past, when everyone mined for a whole day, they could accept it. But now, they had the opportunity to complete the task in half a day but had to watch the opportunity slip away.

Wang Feng felt his heart was bleeding, and his hands were shaking as he tried to breathe.

"It's all your fault, you loser woman!"

"That's what I'm saying! Mom, it's all your fault!"

The whole family vented their resentment towards the Queen Mother. She pointed her pickaxe at these people, her chest heaving rapidly, and she gradually became unable to breathe.

No one noticed anything was wrong with her, they just used her as a punching bag.

Before she fainted, the Queen Mother thought, these guys are the real ungrateful wolves! Unfortunately, it was too late to realize this...

After Wang Feng and his companions were driven away, Chen Shi took the opportunity to intimidate the people in the queue, which just happened to make a few people who originally wanted to cut in line give up the idea.

After collecting materials for several consecutive days, the radish field of two or three kittens has evolved into a spacious radish garden, with dozens of square blocks of soil neatly arranged in squares, which is very pleasing to the eye.

The seeds planted first sprouted lovely green buds, growing vigorously in the not-so-fertile soil. They drank up the morning dew and absorbed the midday sunshine. When the cool breeze blew by, the young leaves all danced happily.

Anyone who sees these cute little things can't help but stop and linger.

Recently, the radish garden has become a special attraction in the mining area. If people are tired from work or take a walk after dinner, they will come here to check on the plants, help water them, and weed. Life is very peaceful and comfortable.

Such leisurely days were a luxury they had never dared to imagine before, so once they had them, they cherished them especially and did not want anyone to destroy this hard-earned beauty.

Therefore, when recruiting security teams in the mining area, people who raised their hands to apply emerged like mushrooms after rain. Soon, Zhao Siqing selected 200 people, each of whom was strong or had special characteristics, 100 men and 100 women.

She was worried that the person in charge would think that there were too many women in the security team, but after looking at the list of candidates, the person in charge was very satisfied.

Zhao Siqing felt relieved.

She has always suffered discrimination because of her gender, but she really loves this small mining area!

The guard recruitment work was completed, and the materials for the sinking stones were almost collected. Next, it was the turn of Sun Lao, the technical talent from Xiao Hai, to make one piece of armor after another with the mecha materials. After 200 pieces of armor were made, Sun Lao felt like his hands were cramping!

The mission was completed, but there were still a lot of mecha materials left. He asked Su Yanxi: "Leader, what should we do with these materials?"

Su Yanxi glanced at it casually. She was not interested in these materials. "I'll give it to you as a reward."

"Reward? Really?" The old man had never been so happy in his life. Fearing that Su Yanxi would go back on his word, he hugged the mecha materials with a smile on his face and quickly returned to the cave.

Su Yanxi couldn't understand why someone would be so fascinated by these cold lumps of iron. She only cared about how many bowls of braised pork were replaced today and when the radish could be eaten.

Unlike Su Yanxi's leisurely life, Zhang, the person in charge of the intermediate mining area, has been a little scratching his head recently.
