Su Yanxi was a noble young lady of the interstellar era, famous among the aristocracy. However, one day, her long-lost sister returned. Her sister, with SS-rank mental power, became the group's...
It's a really exciting mining experience
Xiao Hai finally persuaded his father to take out the pickaxe from under his skirt and said, "Let's go mine somewhere else."
Xiao Hai looked at the cave entrance, confirmed that the other miners had not come yet, and spoke in a low voice.
To be honest, he didn't know if he could reveal this secret. Deep down, he felt that Brother Nian probably didn't want too many people to know about it, otherwise it would definitely cause endless trouble.
Xiao Hai tried his best to avoid being seen and took his parents to the Z1084 mine. He knew that Nian Ge and Shitou would be mining here.
So, Xiaohai's father and mother didn't dig many coins in the morning. They were first shocked by their son's crazy mining speed, and then were dragged by their son to the new mine. Here they saw a young man digging with a clang, and a man who looked like an old man, who crossed his legs and found a clean place to sit and cultivate his body and mind.
It was the person my son called Nian Ge last night.
"Brother Nian!" Xiao Hai greeted Su Yanxi.
Su Yanxi was still asleep and was dozing off to the hypnotic "dong dong dong" sound of Shen Shi's mining. When she heard Xiao Hai's voice, she half raised her eyelids and nodded.
Xiaohai's father and mother were a little at a loss. They didn't know what was going on. This "Nian Ge" was obviously a junior, and he was sitting on that clean stone and didn't fit in with the mine. It felt like the owner of the mine was here to inspect, which made the two middle-aged men a little nervous.
"Brother Nian!" Their mouths were flying in front and their brains were chasing behind. The two middle-aged men followed their son to call for help, as if their brains had stopped working due to unpaid bills.
Xiao Hai scratched his head embarrassedly, Chen Shi glanced sideways, and Su Yanxi paused, looking at the two new middle-aged brothers and fell into deep thought.
Who says middle-aged people can’t be younger brothers?
She nodded to the two new brothers.
Seeing that Brother Nian didn't object to his parents' presence, Xiao Hai continued, "Brother Nian, then we'll go mining with you guys here."
"Oh." Su Yanxi opened his mouth lazily.
This Xiao Hai is too fussy. Even mining needs to be reported to her.
Su Yanxi nodded, and the three of them took out their pickaxes and started mining as if they had obtained administrative permission.
"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!"
"Dong-dong-dong-dong"
Xiao Hai and Shen Shi moved in unison, swinging their pickaxes high into the air. Xiao Hai's parents moved at a snail's pace, and no matter how fast they tried, they couldn't outpace the two young men.
"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!"
"Dong-dong-dong-dong"
The mining sounds in my ears are like a duet, one wave after another, the sound waves rise and fall and echo, constantly jumping on people's nerves.
Su Yanxi frowned slightly.
"It's so noisy!"
If the previous rhythmic sound could have put people to sleep, this duet now was driving Su Yanxi crazy.
"Pause!" Su Yanxi raised her hand and pointed at Xiao Hai's parents. "Let Xiao Hai help you dig the mine. Your mining skills are too poor and need practice."
Xiaohai’s parents:?
After mining for half their lives, this was the first time they heard such comments, saying that their mining skills were poor, which was equivalent to saying that they had wasted half their lives mining.
"Um... Brother Nian," Xiao Hai's father felt ashamed to call him that. He felt completely humiliated when he was the elder and had to call a younger person "Brother." "Although we are indeed slow at mining, we are considered experts..."
"Yes! Brother Nian is right, my parents are terrible at mining! They can't dig at all! They have been digging for half their lives and are still like this. Brother Nian, you must let them practice!" Xiao Hai suddenly interrupted.
Xiaohai’s father: …
What the hell is this kid talking about?!
Their own son is sabotaging them. Are they really going to throw their dignity to the ground and trample on the ground today?!
"That's not what I mean..." Xiaohai's mother wanted to explain something.
"Mom and Dad, please stop talking!" Xiao Hai made a stop gesture and said to the two elders, "It's okay. Don't be shy just because you're old. If you can't dig well, then you can't. Just practice more!"
Su Yanxi nodded as he listened.
Xiaohai’s parents: …Why don’t they leave?
"Then let's go practice now!" Su Yanxi said. She really couldn't stand the slow mining progress.
"...Okay! You tell me how to practice--ah!" Xiao Hai's parents compromised with this group of young people. They wanted to see where their mining skills were lacking. Before they could finish their words, they felt a sense of weightlessness and were suddenly pulled into an unfamiliar space.
Looking at several mines of the same size in front of them, Xiaohai's parents stood in front of the open space, looking disheveled in the wind.
"Is this the black crystal mine? Is that the blue crystal mine?" If conditions allowed, Xiao Hai's father would have wanted to take a photo and check in. He had never seen such a symmetrical mine in his entire life.
After entering the mining area, several panels popped up in front of the two men. The information on them made the two middle-aged men dizzy and half understood.
They didn't understand the miner's mechanism or the use of points, but they figured out one thing: they could mine here with the pickaxe in their hands, and they had to dig for a full five hours.
The two experienced miners didn't know anything else, but they were good at mining. They ignored all the other messy rules and started digging with their pickaxes.
As they dug, they sighed.
"Xiao Hai's dad! That's the feeling!"
Xiaohai's mother exclaimed, she didn't know what was going on, but in this space, their mining speed was exactly the same as Xiaohai's, digging tons and tons at a rapid pace.
Time flies when mining. After a while, the pickaxe runs out of life. Xiao Hai's father wipes the non-existent sweat from his forehead and sighs loudly: "Awesome!"
At this moment, the two veteran miners had only one thought in their minds: What a satisfying mining experience!
The two of them randomly clicked on the exchange interface and obtained new pickaxes, and excitedly continued to devote themselves to the mining business. In just five hours, black crystal ore poured into the system backpack like snowflakes, and the score numbers kept jumping. Although the two old men did not pay attention to those, they both looked unsatisfied when they exited the different space.
Seeing their son and Su Yanxi again, the two elders felt as if they were in another world.
"Brother Nian!" Xiao Hai's father shouted in complete conviction, "We were young and ignorant just now! From now on, our family will rely on you for support!"
"Thank you Brother Nian for your support!" Xiao Hai's mother is also very good at handling things.
When they called him "Brother Nian" again, they no longer felt embarrassed as before, but were filled with deep admiration and pride.
Brother Nian is right! They are not good and need more practice!
"It's okay, the mine is almost mined."
In order to wait for Xiaohai's parents, several people missed the meal time. After weighing the ore, most of the miners had already eaten and returned to the cave to rest. The five people came late and could only eat some leftovers.
Five people sat neatly in the cafeteria, holding batter and nutrient solution.
Xiao Hai's family usually didn't eat at the mine cafeteria, but today, for the first time, they followed Su Yanxi to get their meals. As they watched Su Yanxi pick up the nutrient solution bottle and unscrew the cap, they also picked up the nutrient solution bottle and unscrewed the cap. When Su Yanxi put it down, they put it down too.
Su Yanxi turned to look at them, and they also turned to look at Su Yanxi.
Su Yanxi: Very good, no one here can open the nutrient solution.
"So, how did we open the nutrient solution before?" Su Yanxi asked Chen Shi.
"Brother Nian, we have never received nutrient solution before."
Su Yanxi was speechless.
She understood that they were not good at mining and did not receive any preferential treatment. Now, if they dug up their quota in the morning, the nutrient solution would be considered a reward.
In this mining area, they only know one person who can prescribe nutrient solution.
"Let's ask Dali to drive it!" Su Yanxi said.
"I know where he is, Brother Nian, come with me!" Xiao Hai took Su Yanxi and a few others, carrying basins of nutrient solution and walked towards a narrow passage.
This side is opposite to the caves where the miners live. In a corner of the mining area, there is an abandoned mine where many scarred miners, both men and women, are lying. They are covered in blood and look very scary.
When he reached the door, Su Yanxi was reluctant to move.
It was too dirty and messy. These people were lying in a straggling state like countless corpses. A strong stench of blood emanated from the mine, and flies and mosquitoes were flying around them.
Just by getting close and feeling the smell, Su Yanxi felt like he was covered in lice.
"What is this place?" Su Yanxi asked.
Chen Shi looked up, then lowered his head again. No one noticed his movement.
Xiao Hai stood in front of Su Yanxi and explained, "These are the miners who failed to complete their mission."
"Miners who fail to complete their daily quotas are beaten. Some are so physically damaged that their mining speed slows down. They fail to complete their tasks every time, and are beaten every day. That's how it has become."
"Won't they die?" Su Yanxi wondered.
This question stumped Xiao Hai.
This simple question sounded very strange coming from Brother Nian, as if he was some kind of nobleman who was out of touch with the world and didn't understand the sufferings of the world.
"Of course he will die, Brother Nian." Xiao Hai replied.
"Oh." Su Yanxi's gaze passed over Xiao Hai and looked into the dark cave. It looked like the person had suffered a fatal injury and was about to die, but there was no sound of the person wailing, as if even the strength to wail had been lost.
Is this the life of a commoner?
Su Yanxi saw a world that was very far away from her.
A world full of blood and despair, a shocking world.
She let out a breath slowly. None of this had anything to do with her. She just wanted to have a bad meal.
Forcing himself to ignore the surroundings, Su Yanxi walked in.
In a corner, they saw the familiar big guy, whose huge body was now huddled into a big ball, looking very pitiful.
There was a big purple bump on Dali's head, and his arms and legs were twisted in a strange posture, making him look like a ferocious monster.
Su Yanxi walked over and unconsciously lowered her voice.
"Da Li, can you help us open the nutrient solution?"
The familiar voice made Dali raise his head. Like a tired bird, he was very tired and raised his head slowly. After a long time, the two people's eyes met.
Seeing that the person coming was Su Yanxi, Dali seemed to have lost his memory. After thinking for a long time, he finally recalled the person he had just met yesterday.
He remembered the bowl of batter he had given him yesterday.
Dali gave a bitter smile, feeling a little complicated.
He won, even though he used some tricks, but God was not on his side. In the future, Shen Yunian will definitely be in great demand for helping others mine and make a living!
