In no time, one side of the pork chop was fried to a golden brown. Lu Fan skillfully used tongs to flip the pork chop over and continued to fry the other side.

Once both sides are perfectly golden brown, he removes the pork chop from the pan and places it on a plate to rest, allowing the juices to be better locked inside.

Next, Lu Fan poured the prepared blueberry sauce into the pan where he had just pan-fried the pork chops and simmered it over low heat.

The sauce simmered in the pot, gradually thickening and releasing a rich fruity aroma and a sweet and sour scent.

He poured the prepared blueberry sauce evenly over the pork chop, with plump blueberries dotting the sides, making it look like a beautiful work of art.

In the live stream, viewers were already drooling over the blueberry pork chop, and the chat was flooded with comments:

"Wow, this looks so tempting! I can almost smell the aroma through the screen!"

"A master is a master; he can make such high-class food in the wilderness."

"I can't take it anymore, I need to order some takeout to satisfy my craving."

Lu Fan looked at his masterpiece and nodded in satisfaction.

Then he picked up a piece of paper and tucked it into his collar to use as a napkin.

Elegance is timeless.

Lu Fan picked up the dagger with satisfaction, gently cut off a piece of pork chop, and put it in his mouth.

Then he commented: "The tenderness of this pork chop is simply nature's most pampered gift."

Every fiber is brimming with primal vitality, leaping and entwining between the teeth.

The blueberry sauce, like the ancient Greek muse of flavor, infuses the meat with a vibrant sweet and sour taste, creating layers of complexity as rich as the fantastical ideas in my mind that few can match.

"Hmm~" Lu Fan couldn't help but close his eyes.

Live broadcast room.

"???"

"Wow, eating Western food really does make people more elegant."

"What the hell is that? Get off God Lu Fan!"

"Holy crap, is it that delicious? It even ruined the style of the master artist."

"I want some too, I'll place the order now."

"Upstairs, could you buy me a serving? Thank you."

The pork chop is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with juicy meat bursting in your mouth. It blends perfectly with the sweet and sour blueberry sauce, creating a rich and delightful flavor.

After dinner, the paper that had been drying was collected, filling a whole basket.

The next day, Lu Fan woke up very early.

With his hair in a mess, he sat by the fire, pondering what to do that day.

"Here comes the thinker by the fire."

"Lu Fan, you're up really early. You can tell he got up very early this morning."

"The person upstairs, your words are truly insightful."

"You're leaving it here."

The morning sunlight filtered through the dappled leaves and fell on Lu Fan's campsite.

Lu Fan subconsciously squinted and then saw the pickaxe placed in the corner.

“That’s right, there’s another iron mine waiting for me to dig!” Lu Fan immediately had a target in mind.

"Great! God Lu Fan finally remembered that there's still iron ore to mine."

"Ever since the pickaxe was invented, the master has forgotten about this matter."

"If there were rebates, I wouldn't even dare to think about all that iron ore."

Wang Tao in the live broadcast room seemed even more excited: "If Lu Fan successfully digs up the iron ore, it will bring tremendous changes to our country."

This means that our heavy industry will develop more rapidly.

While other countries stagnate, we will witness a qualitative leap forward.

After a quick breakfast, Lu Fan began to carefully check and organize the equipment he would need for the day.

A sturdy and durable mining pick, its sharp head gleaming with a metallic sheen, as if anticipating the collision with the ore.

The large-capacity baskets are large enough to hold a lot of iron ore.

A shovel used for digging.

With everything ready, Lu Fan shouldered his equipment and embarked on a mining journey full of unknowns.

Soon, Lu Fan arrived at the place where the iron ore was discovered, relying on his memory.

A few days later, the area was covered with grass.

Lu Fan put down his equipment and started digging with a shovel.

It took more than half an hour to dig a large pit more than a meter deep in the ground. Fortunately, the soil was relatively loose, so it was not difficult to dig.

Soon, the shovel hit a hard object, causing Lu Fan's hand to go numb from the impact.

Iron ore discovered

Several stones revealed a unique color, with a subtle metallic texture.

Lu Fan pried the stone out and gently tapped away the soil and gravel covering the surface with his mining pick.

Sure enough, a dark brown iron ore appeared before his eyes.

"It is indeed iron ore, far superior to iron sand. This piece alone probably contains more iron than the previous iron sand."

Looking at the iron ore in front of him, Lu Fan was somewhat excited. Having iron ore meant that he could make more ironware, and it would be more time-saving and labor-saving.

After determining the approximate location of the iron ore, Lu Fan began the intensive mining work.

The Heavenly Dao notification sound also arrived shortly afterward.

The mineral vein extends towards your left front.

With the help of the Heavenly Dao's prompts, Lu Fan was saved a lot of unnecessary work; he only needed to follow the instructions and dig forward.

Lu Fan gripped the mining pick tightly with both hands, raised it high, and then smashed it down on the iron ore.

The pickaxe struck the ore with a crisp sound, sending sparks flying.

With each thrust, his movements were full of power and rhythm.

As time went on, his clothes were soaked with sweat, but he showed no sign of stopping.

During one mining operation, a large piece of iron ore suddenly loosened. Lu Fan was caught off guard, lost his balance, and almost fell.

Fortunately, he managed to regain his balance, dusted himself off, and continued mining.

During breaks in mining, Lu Fan would take out his water bottle, drink a few sips of water, and replenish his energy.

"This guy is amazing! He's really mining iron ore in the wilderness!"

"This mining work looks so tough, keep it up, expert!"

The comments section was filled with encouragement for Lu Fan, even though they knew he couldn't see.

Finally, after five hours of excavation, a vein of minerals was exposed, stretching all the way to the front of a tall mountain.

Exhausted, Lu Fan sat on a rock and drank water from a bamboo tube.

Looking at the towering mountain before him, Lu Fan was also somewhat shocked.

According to the direction of the vein, this huge mountain contains rich iron ore.

As if sensing what Lu Fan was thinking, the Heavenly Dao notification also popped up.

High-quality iron ore vein discovered, with reserves of 2 billion tons.

Upon seeing this, Lu Fan couldn't help but smile.

Although he didn't know how much 2 billion tons was, it must be a lot.

At this moment, an announcement appeared in the live stream.

[Wilderness Survival Announcement]

Congratulations to Chinese player Lu Fan for triggering a 10,000x return!

[High-quality iron ore vein (containing 2 billion tons of ore)*]

Then, one after another, mountains and mineral veins rose up from the ground, some replacing the original mountain ranges, and others going deep underground.

At that moment, the whole world fell silent.
