The mine is being dug very fast but the bottle cap cannot be opened.

Chen Shi looked at the familiar Brother Nian in confusion. Brother Nian had never mentioned anything in return before, and he had never thought about this issue.

When he really thought about it, he didn't seem to know what he could give to Brother Nian.

Chenshi hung his head in disappointment.

"Brother Nian, I don't have anything, or you should just stop telling me."

Su Yanxi was furious when he heard this.

"No!" Chen Shi looked up at her, and she realized that she was too excited, and lowered her voice, "Um... Brother, how come you have nothing! Think about it carefully, you dig every day, don't you have a lot of strength? If I teach you how to mine, you can definitely..."

"I'll help Brother Nian mine!" Chen Shi said happily.

"That's right!" Su Yanxi achieved his goal.

"Then... Brother Nian, why can you mine so fast and so well?" Chen Shi approached with curiosity, and his voice unconsciously became very low, as if he was afraid that others would hear him.

"Because I received guidance from an expert. As long as I enter a mysterious space every night to mine, I can continuously improve my mining skills and eventually cultivate a mining saint body!"

"Wow!" The plot was completely off the mark, but Chen Shi believed it without a doubt.

"Originally, the master wouldn't allow me to spread the secret. However, we have a close relationship. You're my brother. If something good happens, I'll definitely take you along. As long as you join me tonight..."

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Nian!"

Before Su Yanxi could finish her words, Chen Shi agreed without hesitation. His straightforward trust made Su Yanxi feel guilty for two seconds.

The system's prompt sound instantly dispelled her guilt.

[Congratulations to the host for recruiting a miner +1, please keep up the good work!]

Su Yanxi smiled happily, "Good brother! You're welcome!"

The two continued to mine, one was in a hurry to dig 100 black crystal ores to check the panel, and the other was looking forward to the so-called "cultivation" in the evening. Both of them were very motivated and full of energy.

With the help of the system, Su Yanxi swung her pickaxe so hard that it flew high. With the stable mining rate, she completed the task quickly. Seeing that Chen Shi was still digging hard and had not even reached one-third of the output, she was kind enough to help him dig for a while.

She has her own miners, who else can she favor if not her?

What should have taken a whole day was completed in just one morning.

Chen Shi felt it was very unreal and pinched his face. The pinch on his cheeks, which were already thin in flesh, made him grimace in pain.

"Brother Nian! We really finished digging it in just one morning!" Chenshi jumped up excitedly.

"However, this time it was Brother Nian who helped me finish it so quickly. Thank you, Brother Nian!"

Su Yanxi waved his hand.

"Let's rest for a while," she said.

Under Shen Shi's admiring gaze, she closed her eyes to rest, but in fact she couldn't wait to check the information on the panel.

[Mine owner: Su Yanxi (Shen Yunian?)

Mine Level: Lv.1 (Black Crystal Mine 2, Blue Crystal Mine 1)

Miners: 2 (Su Cheng, slave miner; Chen Shi, miner)

Mining speed: 100%

Critical Hit Rate: 0%

Special properties:

1. Recover 20% of your stamina while mining.

After the information was updated, as Su Yanxi thought, what she was most concerned about was the upgrade conditions.

Click on the level and the upgrade conditions panel will pop up.

[Lv.1Lv.2 (Black Crystal Mine 4, Blue Crystal Mine 2): Unlocked by recruiting ten miners]

Including Shen Shi, she only has two miners, which is far from ten!

However, in the mining area, the thing that is most in demand is miners.

After reading the information, Su Yanxi and Shen Shi dragged the ore towards the counting place.

In fact, Chen Shi was dragging the car alone, and Su Yanxi was following slowly behind.

When we arrived at the counting place, no miners had come out of the entrance yet. They were the first to arrive, so they didn't have to queue and could weigh the ore directly.

Chenshi threw the rope on the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and moved the bamboo basket onto the counting scale.

The supervisor turned a blind eye to the fact that Su Yanxi acted like a big boss and followed Chen Shi around.

Things like this happen frequently on Cinnabar Star, and as long as there is no trouble, they will not intervene.

After a few seconds, the counting scale reports:

"Facial recognition successful, miner sinks stone, totaling 100 black crystal ores, completing today's check-in."

"Facial recognition successful, miner Shen Yunian, a total of 100 black crystal ores, completed today's check-in."

The supervisor was stunned when he heard the number and asked the person next to him: "Is it morning now?"

"Yes, Brother Huang."

"Did the scale just say 100?"

"Yes, Brother Huang."

"They completed the task in just one morning?" Supervisor Huang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chen Shi and Shen Yunian.

One is skinny as a stick, and the other is an orc. He is stronger than an average person, but not the type with special talents. These two people completed the day's tasks in just one morning, and it looks so easy?

Supervisor Huang didn't quite believe it.

Others don't believe it either.

"Brother Huang, is there something wrong with the scale?"

Just at this moment, a big man walked out from the corner of the mine.

That person was a celebrity on Cinnabar Star, a mute, two meters tall, with extraordinary strength. He could smash a hole in the wall of a mine with his bare hands and could dig out 100 black crystal ores in just one morning. However, he had a big appetite, so he spent the rest of his time helping others mine to earn money for food.

"Da Li, come here! Come and move your ore up!" Supervisor Huang waved over there.

He moved his neck vigorously left and right, and slowly dragged a basket of black crystal ore forward. He did not speed up because of the supervisor's words, and a long track was left in the sand behind him.

Su Yanxi and Shen Shi were standing there bored, waiting for him to slowly weigh the black crystal ore.

"Facial recognition successful, miner Dali, a total of 100 black crystal ores, completed today's check-in."

"It seems that there is no problem with the scale. You have indeed completed the task." Supervisor Huang said, looking at the two of them in amazement.

"Thank you, Brother Huang!" Chen Shi bowed ninety degrees and happily walked towards the mining area canteen with Su Yanxi.

Dali and several supervisors were left standing there with mixed feelings.

"It seems that our mining area is going to have two more powerful people!" said Supervisor Huang.

As supervisors, their performance depends entirely on how much ore their miners can dig. If a miner digs quickly, like Dali, he can help others dig and allow more miners to meet the task standards. When evaluated, his performance will be higher than that of other mining areas.

He didn't care how these two people got so many minerals. Everyone has their own fate, and this was not a bad thing for him.

The supervisor was pleased to see this happen, but Dali looked grave.

These two people weighed the ore before him, which meant they completed the task earlier than him. Moreover, he was in a hurry to complete the task in the morning and was very tired. When these two people left, they walked briskly without any signs of fatigue, which meant they completed the task easily before him.

I just hope these two people don’t compete with him for business this afternoon!

At noon, regardless of whether they had completed their mining task or not, the miners stopped their work one after another, weighed the ore they had dug in the morning, and rushed to the canteen.

In the past, Dali was the only one eating in the cafeteria, but today when the miners came out, there were three people sitting in the cafeteria.

"How come those two are running so fast?" someone asked.

"I know!" A miner who had a good relationship with the supervisor had already heard the news. "I heard they completed the task in just one morning!"

"What?!"

The miners looked at Su Yanxi and Shen Shi sitting in the corner with curiosity, their eyes filled with surprise.

"Then we don't have to wait in line to find Dali anymore, and we can ask them for help?"

Someone immediately wanted to ask the two if they could help with mining in the afternoon.

Dali heard the whispers of the crowd and frowned.

He looked at Su Yanxi who was sitting a few rows of tables away, hoping that the other party would be sensible and not steal his job.

They just want to make money, but he wants to earn a living to save his life!

If he eats one less bite, he will really starve to death.

…

Su Yanxi didn't notice other people's stares. She was very used to being the center of attention. But Chen Shi was different. He was fidgeting and could hardly eat the meal he was holding.

"Brother Nian, why are those people looking at us?"

Su Yanxi said lightly, "You are handsome."

Chen Shi blushed when he was suddenly praised. He was not in the mood to pay attention to others and turned his attention back to Su Yanxi.

"Brother Nian, why don't you eat?"

Su Yanxi raised his eyes and looked at Chenshi with resentment, then looked at the food in front of him with depression.

A large basin of incomprehensible gray-white paste and a bottle of nutrient solution of unknown brand.

"Is this what you eat every day?"

Chen Shi didn't understand what she meant by "you guys". It seemed that Brother Nian was very dissatisfied with the food.

"Brother Nian, even though there are sometimes bugs or pebbles in the batter, the taste is..."

"Stop! You said it well, but don't say it anymore." Su Yanxi felt nauseous.

There's no way she'd eat this unidentified, dirty mess! The nutrient solution looks cleaner and a light pink, so it should taste good.

Su Yanxi picked up the cylindrical bottle of nutrient solution, put his hand on the bottle cap, twisted it once, but it didn't open, twisted it again, but it still didn't open.

Su Yanxi: ...

Logically speaking, she shouldn't be so weak after changing her body.

"Brother Nian, let me help you!" Chen Shi volunteered.

He gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength, but the cap of the nutrient solution bottle remained as still as a mountain.

While he was still trying, the bottle was taken away by a pair of huge hands.

The two looked in the direction of the bottle and saw the big guy named Dali.

He put the plate on their table with a fierce look on his face, turned the nutrient solution gently, and with a "click", he placed the opened nutrient solution in front of Su Yanxi.

Dali opened the nutrient solution in front of Chenshi without saying a word.

Su Yanxi looked at Dali's actions curiously. Although his expression was unfriendly and the way he opened the nutrient solution looked like he wanted to twist someone's head off, this man was really kind-hearted. He actually went over several tables to help them open the nutrient solution, even though they had only met once when they were weighing the ore.

He is so kind, he will probably continue to help her unscrew the bottle caps in the future!

Thinking of this, Su Yanxi smiled brightly.

"Brother, come! Sit down! You're welcome!" Su Yanxi greeted him warmly.

Dali paused, and seeing that he didn't move, Chenshi stood up and pulled him to sit opposite him.

"You are such a kind person. To show my gratitude... I'll give you this bowl of batter!" Su Yanxi took the opportunity to deal with the batter.

Chen Shi wanted to speak out to stop him, but the batter had already been pushed in front of Dali, so he lowered his head and said nothing more.

A bowl of paste is enough for him. Then I will give the nutrient solution to Brother Nian, and he should be full.

Dali was very surprised. He looked up at Su Yanxi. The person opposite him had a sincere look on his face and was not just being polite.

Looking at the batter in front of him and hearing the discussion of other miners behind him, Dali felt a little guilty.

"They can't even open the bottle cap. Can they really dig up 100 crystals in one morning?"

"It's better to be more reliable!"

"I told you, Dali is incredibly talented. I've never heard of these two before. Saying they could complete the mission in one morning is definitely a rumor!"

"That's right, let's ask Dali for help this afternoon!"

Dali's hand unconsciously reached out for the batter Su Yanxi gave him, cautiously fearing that the other party would suddenly change his mind.

I guess the other person's hearing was not as good as his, so he didn't hear other people's discussions, nor did he notice his little thoughts.

Dali quickly convinced himself to accept Su Yanxi's gift with peace of mind.

He did unscrew the bottle cap for them, didn't he?!
