"It's done! It's done!"

Martha watched as two fist-sized, golden lumps were pulled out of the furnace and shouted excitedly.

"Oh, my dear Martha, you have certainly not disappointed me!"

Hearing Martha's shout, Carter and Joey also ended their conversation and walked towards Martha together.

At this moment, the bearded man also stopped what he was doing, stood up and moved closer to Martha, staring at the two lumps of gold.

"Dig! Dig!"

Wawa was no longer so bored at this moment. When he saw the two lumps of gold, he got excited and jumped around on the spot.

"These two lumps of gold can be made into at least fifty gold coins!"

Joey was pleasantly surprised that the gold ore he provided could be smelted into so much gold.

Looking at the silver mine piled up like a small mountain, he suddenly felt like he was dreaming.

"I've suddenly become the master of my own destiny? This feeling of suddenly becoming rich is just too damn good!"

Joey already felt like he would never have to worry about money again in his life, or at least he felt that he no longer had to work or be at the mercy of other people!

"Unauthorized minting of currency is a serious crime, but it's not difficult to do it!"

Carter looked at the two lumps of gold and couldn't help but laugh.

"The world is in a mess right now. I heard that the Horde and the Alliance are fighting again. Besides, this is Sandstone City, so nobody really cares about these things!"

It seems that the cartel is not opposed to minting currency and even seems quite willing to give it a try.

"Then these two gold nuggets are yours to finish. Consider them a gift from me to Big Beard and Martha!"

Joey was now full of confidence. He felt he could afford to give away not just fifty gold coins, but even five hundred. After all, it was to the bearded man, not just anyone.

What's more, he also has the humanoid detector, Dig Dig, which is incredibly fast at finding minerals. It's like a hen that keeps laying golden eggs. Joey has really struck gold.

"That won't do, there are too many!"

Cartel was an honest man and didn't want to take advantage of the situation.

"It's nothing, I'll need your help a lot more often in the future!"

Joey told him to stop refusing and accept it without hesitation. Martha glanced at the bearded man and then simply threw the gold nugget into a bucket.

Sizzle—

A plume of white steam rose up.

"By the way, Cartel, do you have a map of the area around Sandstone City? I remember there were quite a few ores around Sandstone City before it was swallowed by the sand!"

This is what Joey saw in the book, so reading more books is definitely beneficial.

"Yes, I have one in my room. It's really hard to find one outside now, since this kind of map has already lost its practical value!"

After Carter finished speaking, he walked towards his room.

Joey wanted the map because he wanted to expand and strengthen his mining and smelting business. With the old map of Dig and Sandstone City, he could make good use of Sandstone City's advantages and implement his plan to get rich.

"Joey, here's a map!"

Carter came out of the room and handed Joey the old map of Sandstone City.

"Okay!"

Joey happily took it from her.

"Big Beard, let's go, we need to get to work! From now on, you'll handle external affairs, and Martha will handle internal affairs!"

"You'll be in charge of mining ore outside, and she'll be in charge of smelting it at home. That's how you'll get rich!"

After Joey finished speaking, he called over Digger, and the three of them were about to head out. Little Black stayed by the fire, perhaps because the weather was getting a bit chilly, and it seemed to be getting a little too warm.

"Joey, keep a low profile when you're out there. A lot of outsiders have come to Sandstone City lately, it's a mixed bag. Besides, this place doesn't belong to either the tribe or the alliance, only the city lord has the final say!"

Just as Joey and Beard were about to leave, Carter reminded them from behind.

Joey didn't turn around, but simply made a "" gesture with his right hand, regardless of whether Carter understood it or not.

Carter's words were not without reason. He did need to keep a low profile. After all, he was unfamiliar with this place and no longer had the protection of the title of Captain of the Saibanda World. If something really happened, it would be quite troublesome.

Joey unfolded the map and, along with Digger and Beard, headed towards a mountain range marked on the map.

After Joey and the others left, Carter also tightly closed the door of his small workshop.

There was only a short figure hiding in the alley of the street, acting in secrecy.

He watched Joey and the others walk away, and then Carter closed the workshop door before disappearing into the alley.

The official residence of the Sandstone City Lord.

A rather grand mansion. The short figure who had just disappeared brazenly ran into the mansion right under the gatekeeper's nose. It seems he is a regular here.

He walked through a long corridor and headed straight into the depths of the mansion.

"The tobacco delivered this year seems to taste a bit off!"

A fat, middle-aged man lay on a large sofa, holding a pipe in his hand. Judging from his clothes, he was not an ordinary person.

Two people stood in front of him: a human, tall but thin, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and a Draenei with an iron ring around his neck, standing behind the human, looking more like a slave.

"Your Excellency, please allow me to explain!"

Upon hearing the reproach in the middle-aged man's tone, the human immediately bowed to show his respect.
