Chapter 224 Coal mining work officially begins



After seeing Jones off, Jun Shutong took a tour of the camp and saw that everything was going on in an orderly manner and he did not find anything wrong, so he entered the space.

In the space, Chris soaked her body below the neck in the stream water and rested her head on the edge of the stream to bask in the sun.

Two bear cubs sat beside her, earnestly munching on sunflower seeds.

Fili and the Bear couple sat cross-legged near the fog, probably practicing.

It was the first time that Jun Shutong saw a mysterious beast meditating. Its serious expression was exactly the same as that of humans when they were practicing.

Seeing that the guys were relatively honest, Jun Shutong went straight back to his cabin.

She lay in bed thinking back to the past period of time, feeling that everything was so unreal.

Since coming to the Mysterious Beast Forest, she has hardly had any rest. She has been working around the clock every day, busy like a top. Fortunately, all the preparations have been completed and it’s time to start work.

Three days passed quickly, and the hardware facilities for the camp were basically completed. The orcs also kept in mind the underground mine rules that they were required to strictly abide by.

Jones arrived with his tribe. Densely packed pangolins formed a long queue and waited in an open space designated for rest. This spectacular scene attracted the attention of the people working there.

"This is the first time I've seen so many pangolins."

"Do you think this pangolin really listens to the young lady?"

"Why not? Didn't you see that the others all looked like hairpins to the young lady's horse head?"

After Jun Shutong discussed with Jones for a while, Jones prepared to enter the cave with some of his tribesmen.

Hundreds of pangolins lined up and entered the cave in an orderly manner, and everyone present stared with wide eyes.

No one expected that the pangolin, which has always been looked down upon, could be so strict.

The only thing Jun Shutong had to do now was to wait until Jones had explored the terrain and drawn a map of the cave.

Mastering the basic information about the underground will be of great help in future excavations.

They waited for five whole days, and on the morning of the sixth day, Jones came out with his people.

Although they all looked listless and exhausted, they were still lined up when they came out without any disorder.

This made Jun Shutong have a higher opinion of Jones's management ability.

Take out the food and let Jones's people eat and drink enough and rest for a while.

Jun Shutong took the map drawn by Jones and discussed with his subordinates.

Jones is very meticulous in his work and this map is clearly drawn.

It marks in great detail where the boulders are, where there is soil, and where you need to avoid, so even people who don't know much about it can understand it at a glance.

Jun Shutong seriously suspected that Jones might also be a time traveler.

It's just bad luck that he turned into a mysterious beast.

Jun Shutong was very satisfied with Jones's outstanding performance. He gave the map to his subordinates and asked them to make a few more copies to ensure that every manager had a copy.

In order to thank Jones and his people, Jun Shutong took out a bunch of supplies and gave them to them as a thank you gift after he finished his work.

Jones was not polite and accepted everything, and asked all the tribesmen to move back.

Working under Jun Shutong, food and accommodation are provided, so Jones can only store these supplies first. Instead of keeping them here, it is better to move them back to the tribe.

As for where they live, there is no need to worry. Just dig a hole or a pit on the ground and that will be their shelter.

The mining officially started. Jun Shutong personally directed every process and went down the cave herself. Ten guards followed behind her to protect and learn from her.

At the beginning, everything went very slowly. The workers demonstrated countless times how to dig and how to use the techniques.

Although orcs do not have strong learning abilities, they are obedient and patient. After learning a few times, they can do it well.

Jones, a participant, also followed Jun Shutong to supervise and guide the work.

When it really can't bear to watch it, it will demonstrate it itself, which makes Jun Shutong look at it differently.

If Jones is brought under his command, a lot of trouble can be saved when mining in the future.

So Jun Shutong discussed with Jones that he wanted to hire his tribesmen to work for him, and the wages would be half a pound of food per day.

I thought Jones would refuse, but he agreed immediately and even asked if he could pay for a month's food in advance.

Jun Shutong knew that since they agreed so readily, it must be because of the drought in recent years. Humans are short of food and water, and the mysterious beasts are in even greater trouble.

Jun Shutong was also very straightforward. He agreed directly and hired a thousand pangolins, with the wages being deducted from the food.

Jones was obviously very happy to be able to find food for his tribe to survive the winter, and he talked more with Jun Shutong and others.

The mining work was progressing in an orderly manner, and the workers gradually got the hang of it and became accustomed to the eight-hour work system.

Yes, in order not to waste time and to carry out work effectively, Jun Shutong divided all workers into three shifts, with each shift working for four hours, and they were forced to leave work when the time was up.

Every tunnel dug is equipped with an hourglass, and the managers will judge the time to leave work based on the status of the hourglass.

When Jun Shutong saw baskets of coal being transported out, his eyes turned red with excitement.

After nearly a year of hard work in the Mystical Beast Forest, we are finally seeing results.

Yingying picked up a piece of coal and looked at it carefully. She could not feel any elemental fluctuations. To her, it was just an ordinary black stone, neither beautiful nor edible.

"Miss, what on earth is this coal good for? Why would you go to so much trouble to dig it out?"
